The Anime Thread

And this popped up on ANN today.

If you're interested, here are some of the translated Endcard species rundown

Just had to again

Just saw this fan-made crossover opening of AnoHana and BokuMachi:

I think it's pretty well done.

I just started FMA: Brotherhood too. So good.

Sorry to snip, but that was a lot of images. LOL

Thanks for sharing that, though. What was cool is that Hulu not only had the endcards but they also had pretty much the same translations on the endcards as what you showed. If I remember right it was one of the simulcasts that ended up being 3-4 weeks behind the original broadcast, so I guess that gave Sentai Filmworks some extra time to do the translations and include them for the Hulu broadcast endcards (dunno if they were in place for simulcasts on other streaming sites).

The nice thing was it was for the whole run of the show, so they also had the translations for the MON girls and their species, as well as some of the others that showed up later on (dryads, dragonewts, devils, etc). Your sharing was a lot easier to deal with, though. Less pausing of the show and all that.

The manga Mob Psycho 100, from One-Punch Man creator One, is getting an adaptation.




Mob Psycho 100 follows a junior high student who has powerful psychic powers and is filled with a wry visual style.

The studio Bones is handling the adaptation, which was announced last December, and the anime is slated to air this year.

Sorry for the really long picture. I figured that you guys might be interested in it. I didn't make this by the way.

Accurate as hell on all of those.

Not going to quote and add even more

Do understand the concept of the post, just not exactly sure what some of it meant (but that's probably due to not knowing what some of them are )

Not 100% sure I agree with the Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun one, but the Neon Genesis Evangelion one pretty much nailed it.

Well, the US release of Lord Marksman and Vanadis happened, and I picked it up for myself.

Overall it's a pretty good pack. I've yet to check all the special features (some chibi shorts and episode commentaries in particular), but they did a good job with the release. The visual quality is really good and clear and the show looks all the better for it. Also, the English dub was well-cast and I didn't find myself saying, "Eh, that voice doesn't seem to work" once. Plus, the English dub goes a long way towards helping to follow the political intrigue elements of the show and the explanations of the battles and tactics used. For me it was easier to hear the explanations in English than to try and digest them while reading the subtitles during the simulcast, so mileage may vary on that from person to person.

The one big flaw of the show was something that reared its head during the simulcast, and it was kind of made worse with the nice, clear transfer to Blu-Ray. The CGI they used in the show for the large battles was good at a distance, but the models' movement looked clunky and off even slightly up close, and it really pops out in high def. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's something that makes or breaks the show, but it is something that can easily be a distraction.

Decent show with a decent release, overall.

Hmmm.

I've seen the manga and film mentioned before on ANN, and the premise sounds like it has some possibilities.

More cool news, Funimation has licensed The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

I really enjoyed Wolf Children and Summer Wars, so getting the chance to see more of that director's work is good news indeed.

This was unexpected.

I guess this is a first step in releasing an anime with all episodes ready to stream at once.

I loved watching Dragon ball and my kids also love watching a wide mix of anime shows and movies.

Just as a question of curiosity and perception, is it just me or has the winter season of anime been kind of lacking in a standout show? The past couple of seasons there were at least one or two per season that kept people talking, but there really hasn't been anything that's jumped out at me so far for the winter season.

Did you still not check out the unrivaled top of the season BokuMachi/Erased?
I personally am amazed at how good it is. Only other winter season I watched are Ajin and Phantom world, with Phantom world being a huge disappointment from KyoAni. I wanted to try Active Raid too but saw some horrible reviews so I'll put it off until it finishes airing.
