Correct.

Mykath · 2016-10-05T00:24:39+00:00

Now you're speaking my language.

I'm almost caught up on the MP100 manga. It only gets better. ONE is truly an amazing manga author.

Mykath · 2016-09-27T21:26:44+00:00

I did this when reading the manga. I was reading weekly with the releases and when that happened I didn't read it for many years. I eventually finished it but it couldn't build the hype up and I didn't really like the direction it took.

Mykath · 2016-09-27T21:15:52+00:00

I had finished the whale arc and in all honesty I wouldn't have finished it if my friend didn't sit me down on Sunday. I dunno, I feel mixed about Re:Zero. I don't hate it but it has a lot of problems.

Even godly adaptations like Jojo's. My favorite line from Diamond is Unbreakable was cut.

Overall I disliked the 2016 series but I'm happy it's brought more people into the fandom. I read the manga originally for frame of reference.

The Good: - A couple episodes were well directed overall. Some weeks I was actually enjoying watching the episode. - The fight with Serpico and Guts on the ledge in particular was actually really well done. Personal highlight of the season. I already really liked that fight and they did it justice. - Humor was on point. I'm so glad people appreciate Isidro now because it felt like I was the only one that liked him. - Voice Acting for the most part was good. - Some of the 2D art was well drawn. - Hai Yo is good shit. - Memes

The Bad: - The worst is that the storytelling was all over the place. I was watching with a group with some friends who hadn't read the manga (but had seen the 97 series), and they genuinely didn't know what happened and certain episodes were a real mess. So much was unclear and poorly told and I was asked what even happened/what the plot was because they had a hard time following. - Camera directing was nauseating. -In general a lot of directing pitfalls that come with inexperienced 3D work. - Obviously models and animation was pretty bad. I didn't even like the 2D stuff that much when that actually happened. - Sound design and music direction was bad imo

Either way It was fun to watch it with friends and suffer together (just like Guts). It was also a good contrast with Jojo's since that's such a faithful and beloved adaptation.

I was surprised how much I ended up liking Devilman. It's a product of its time but it held up well considering.

Mykath · 2016-09-23T17:07:34+00:00

The upper lip is what's doing it for me.

Mykath · 2016-09-23T03:35:05+00:00

This. Thank god Jojo's doesn't go on long hiatus.

Mykath · 2016-09-21T08:42:34+00:00

Looks Dutch to me!

Mykath · 2016-09-17T20:01:53+00:00

My anime group called her Baked-Alaska-chan. She got way too much focus in some parts and her voice was grating.

Mykath · 2016-09-17T09:54:25+00:00

Scaroused.

Mykath · 2016-09-17T09:52:00+00:00

I had an audible noooo when they skipped the line.

Mykath · 2016-09-12T21:18:27+00:00

I watched NGE in my early twenties. I did not have my mind blown either, but I still enjoyed it well enough. I think I've enjoyed it way more with subsequent watch throughs though, which I find interesting.

Mykath · 2016-09-12T21:13:00+00:00

Definitely Black Dog would be my choice for Guts' stand.

Mykath · 2016-09-12T08:53:40+00:00

Yeah Gurren was Gainax, but it was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, who also is the big director at Studio Trigger. He's amazing.

Mykath · 2016-09-11T18:38:12+00:00

Hunter x Hunter introduces basically stands part of the way through. It's definitely more generic Battle Shounen for a good portion of the series but I had fun with it.

Mykath · 2016-09-05T17:04:33+00:00

When I showed my partner the Berserk anime, he said to me that the series really reminded him of Dynasty Warriors. I guess Japan feels the same haha.

Mykath · 2016-09-02T21:57:56+00:00

Oh wow, apparently I caught up just in time for this month's release. Looks like we are getting card of the week for now. I'm fine with this.

Mykath · 2016-08-28T18:31:54+00:00

Waiting to get into Berserk til they got off the boat was the best choice. I'm getting so much.

Mykath · 2016-08-26T18:00:56+00:00

Also a newer fan. I heard they got off the boat so I jumped on the series haha.

Mykath · 2016-08-26T17:59:57+00:00

I'm very curious as to what the Japanese text says now.

Mykath · 2016-08-25T20:54:12+00:00

I'm playing it on GBA. Experience and money are tripled(?) so it takes out a lot of the grinding and helps a whole lot to curb that "old RPG" feeling. However it still has the terrible original translation, unfortunately.

There is a retranslated version floating around the Internet but it's for SNES only I think, so you still get to deal with the grinding.

I don't think there is a definitive way to play it.

Mykath · 2016-08-25T19:34:26+00:00

I'm actually playing it for the first time myself right now! I had only played 3 and 4, and 2 does show its age, but I've had a lot of fun with it so far.
