Godzilla Anime 3 is out.

Started watching My Hero Acadamia. It's good. Very good even. But holy shit are there some serious parallels to Naruto. To the point where it feels like a straight reskin at times.

Incredible dub though. One of the few shows where I prefer it to the subtitled version.

The promised Neverland is on Hulu you worthless bitches

They went all philosophical with this one and to be honest out of the three I think I like this one the most first one being a close second and the second one being last

I found the Mecha Godzilla subversion deeply disappointing, but this version of Ghidorah was epic.

To be fair, there is a lot of parallel with a lot of shounen anime.

MHA seems to have better supporting cast of classmates, though, and an emphasis on the reminder that they are just school age kids and will think and act like school age kids.

Yeah, but here it's a bit ridiculous. Agree on the second point though.

Been a few years, but Psycho Pass is coming back for a 3rd season.

Next season of Dragon Ball Super currently rumored to be starting this July with an official announcement rumored to be made by late next month.

Yeah cannot wait for that.

It seems to be going one of two ways, they could do similar to the previous Super-movie releases (Battle of Gods and Frieza) and make them into story arcs with Broly.

But I think this whole shit with Vic Mignogna may have stopped that dead in its' tracks.

The manga/comic book version though seems to be about some wizard who grows more powerful by eating planets' energy. I did hope the Broly stuff would have come first, but last I read Vic seems to have been thrown under the bus.

Why would a Japanese studio care about an American actor getting railroaded?

Cause he's the voice of at least one of their characters? Honestly, I don't think Toriyama gives two shits who's voicing who as long as they emote right.

He's just who Funimation hired. They have their voice actors to worry about. Vic will likely be replaced in the new saga if all the drama holds. Luckily it's not like this Broly was very talkative.

Indeed he was not. But I don't think he was that talkative in the first series of movies barring the whole "KAKAAAROTTTT!" stuff.

Funimation employed him for quite a few things, whether that Twitter is run by US or Japanese I am not sure. But without even being guilty of anything he was shafted by Funimation (US?) even though a lot of the information seems fabricated.

It is similar to how Sean Schemmel is Goku and Chris Sabat is Vegeta, they made the roles their own and became the characters. I am sure if they ended up having this levied on them there would have been a huge shitstorm.

Albeit Chris and Sean both nailed Vic as well showing him zero support, which I thought was pretty disgusting and my opinion of them did certainly change!

Rehashing the movies was one of the worst parts of super. Hope they don’t do it for Brody.

Yeah I wasn't too crazy about how they just threw him under a bus based on dubious shit.

They'll understand when it comes for them but until then I hope Vic gets his job back.

I don't know this Vic thing goes back all the way till at least 2011 there's a whole Tumblr for it with an archive

I actually won't mind them rehashing the movie into the series. You have to consider that in the first run of the anime that the show got well ahead of the manga. The manga has finally caught up and pressed on a little bit further than the series has, but it isn't really far enough yet. If they work the Broly stuff into the series it would give them probably another 3 months or so of leeway in terms of the manga getting further ahead, giving them more content to work with before they have to worry about catching up again.

You're ok with a sexual predator getting his job back? Or are you just ignorant about why he lost his job?

I read the accounts (from sources most likely to believe victim accounts so no 'anti-feminist dismissals' or anything like that).

Sexual Predator is a tad hysterical given these accounts, and that's if they're true/accurate being that a few set off my spidey-sense. The hotel room meeting in particular set off all sorts of red flags as the story went on.

It seems in the past day or two Vic has been reinvited (After being removed a few weeks ago due to this whole saga) to the Kami-Con.

This has stoked up a few and some of the other voice actors pulled out "for safety" :rofl:.

Oh yeah the guy's a loose cannon.

Finished reading Ibitsu. They really need to animate it. Hell, it would even translate wellinto a western style horror movie.

Netflix has announced the cast for it's live-action Cowboy Bebop series.

John Cho - Spike Spiegel

Mustafa Shakir - Jet Black

Daniella Pineda - Faye Valentine

Alex Hassell - Vicious

All those characters could potentially be translated well to a live action series.

The real trouble is gonna be casting and portraying Ed. That character is much more “anime” than the rest of them.

Wonder if the live action series will settle the question of what happened to Spike in the end. The original anime series kept his fate vague.

I doubt it will even get thru the center of the original series run. And frankly I felt his fate was kinda clear.

He's kinda...dead.

Thought its only implied that likely happened but also one of those endings where its left to the viewer to decide like with Inception.

When I first saw the series, I thought he died but then read years later about the creator never set that ending in stone and isn't even sure of Spike's fate after that scene.

Watching One Punch Man.

Glorious.

One PUUUUUAAAAAAANCH

I really love this show. I will be sad when I finish the series and have no access to further monster mashing.

Well at least season 2 has finally started. And if you like One Punch Man then you should give Mob Psycho 100 a chance next. Kinda similar type of set up.

This is the only anime I have ever seen besides Pokemon when I was about 12. Bill Burr put me onto it.

I like the bureaucracy of the superhero system and the moments where Saitama sacrifices his public image for the good of the cause. Mostly I just love how easy the fighting is and how hard his life seems to be. Great stuff.

Yeah the whole easy fighting, hard life thing is where it is similar to Mob. There's a bit of bureaucracy in the school leadership hierarchy but not to the extent of the super hero organization from One Punch Man.

Well the only version on Netflix is live action and I can't be bothered with that so I might try Baki or something else.

Baki was tough going. Too sincere.

Space Dandy now. May be too far in the other direction...

Baki was kind of ridiculous. The main character doesn't even do anything throughout the whole season.

A man with impeccable taste. You should put a mustache and monacle on your avatar.
