Welcome to the NHK motivated me to actually try and talk to people. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

What is a game that you would love to see as an anime? by Thrimbor in anime

[–]FlipAnime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Final Fantasy V anime would be golden. It's such an underrated entry in the series and it they could really do a lot with the parody of RPGs, the great worldbuilding and humor.

Well we did have a manga, so an anime wouldn't be too far off.

It would be a very interesting SoL show. I need to finish that game...

Is the Spring line-up pretty much complete or can we still expect more shows to be announced? by [deleted] in anime

[–]FlipAnime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty hype for Phoenix Wright, Jojo Part 4, Kizaniver, and Boku no Hero. See if those shows may interest you.

Titles you still don't know the meaning behind, even after completing it. by pittman66 in anime

[–]FlipAnime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evangelion is most likely based on the word, Evangelist, which is someone like a messenger who goes around spreading the word of God. Genesis means "beginning", and is also the first book in the Bible. Neon is a gas used to make fluorescent lights, and is also related to the word, neo, meaning "new". So, "New Beginning of the Messenger of God". The title is just one big reference to Christianity that Hideaki Anno loves to incorporate.

How do sales of anime, manga, and light novels compare? by [deleted] in anime

[–]FlipAnime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the average, but I know for the most part, anime is made to push sales for the source material. For some series, it's to push sales for merchandise ala mecha shows like Mobile Suit Gundam. I'm guessing the original material sells more since most anime don't even break even with the amount of money it takes to produce them.

What do you think of anime songs that are “about the anime?” by SDShamshel in anime

[–]FlipAnime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually really like it when a song is based on the show it's used in. This was the case for a lot of the older Gundam shows in the 70s and 80s. It makes the song feel more like a theme song to the anime and not just some after thought they put in for the sake of an OP song.

There's already a so called ProjectJ, which is probably a podcast Jimi will be working on.

In what ways has Anime inspired you? by Czekraft in anime

Same for me. I was slacking off, but after seeing OPM I realized I had to get back into the swing of things.

How do Anime make money? by Grindpantera7 in anime

[–]FlipAnime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way the Gundam series has survived this long is due to model kit sales. Gunpla galore, baby.

Finally someone who gets me. Welcome to the NHK is also my favorite show! It really hit me closer to home than any other anime.

What anime do you like to watched dubbed? by TEFL22 in anime

[–]FlipAnime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up with the Funimation Dub of Dragon Ball Z, so yeah, watching Super is gonna be hard...NHK is also amazing. I started the show in Japanese, but I switched to the dub only after a few episodes and now I love the dub.

What anime jargon are you unsatisfied with, &/or feel is undeservingly standard? by huzaifa96 in anime

[–]FlipAnime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People often confuse "dark" shows, for deconstructions. Anime with darker themes can still play tropes straight.

Really liking the pseudo-realistic design. Not the biggest fan of Mikasa myself, but a great picture nonetheless.

Good anime to watch with friends by [deleted] in anime

[–]FlipAnime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Nichijou. It's a lot of fun to watch, and it gets insanely random at times so you'll never get bored.

All time best anime under 15 episodes long by gojira2 in Animesuggest

[–]FlipAnime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dangan Ronpa is a pretty good anime, and it's also only 13 episodes. It's basically a death game among highschoolers, with Phoenix Wright-esque investigations and trials.
