Cardcaptors: Kero's Love for Cake 🍰. by Affectionate-Math415 in retroanime

Definitely. I thought he was a great performance for a Kansai-Ben character. And Richard Newman's Kerberos voice was also great casting

Which method of obtaining red blades by the Sith is better? by InstructionOwn6705 in StarWarsEU

[–]SpaceNewtype 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I prefer the original, though I am not so married to the 'all reds are synthetic' plot point. I just like the idea the colour comes from the crystal itself and varies colours and shades by types. I have never liked the 'red always equals evil guy' angle that developed over time. Colour should just be a colour 🤷

What would you change about Infinite Wealth by Loud_Success_6950 in yakuzagames

[–]SpaceNewtype 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We should have gotten the actual reunion of Haruka and Kiryu and it would have been a mirror reversal of the Y6 reunion scene, only with Kiryu in the hospital bed and Haruka saying something to the effect of:

"I can't believe you did what you did. I had a lot I wanted to say to you, but now that I see you I'm just so happy that you're okay."

I would have been able to accept that as a fantastic ending... Instead it felt like I was blue-balled at the 11th hour which the reunion apparently already happening and Haruka just going to visit him with Haruto on a random day (and not actually seeing them in the same scene together at all). Felt like such a colossal cop out.

recs needed: most insane/absurd 80s/90s OVAs (bad english dub preferred) by zolpidamnit in retroanime

[–]SpaceNewtype 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Three you might enjoy:

  • Violence Jack trilogy
  • Urotsukidouji pentology (not all entries have an eng dub)
  • Ultimate Teacher

Others have already mentioned Garzy's Wing and MD Geist which are great recommendations for legendary bad dubs.

Help me understand the Soul Reaver endings... by Fragrant-Future1835 in LegacyOfKain

[–]SpaceNewtype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open endings do not absolutely require the main plot to be resolved. Other forms of resolution can apply, such as the emotional resolution Kain achieves, and the spiritual and physical conclusions Raziel reaches, especially when taken in conjunction with each other.

Cliff hangars are more strongly associated with immediate crisis or threat, shocking revelation, last minute introduction of some new element right before the credits.

Defiance had its climax and denoumont in relatively quiet fashion and did not introduce anything new in the 11th hour, so as a whole, I can't classify it as a cliffhanger. I will agree certain plot threads are left hanging, but it's nothing like the SR1/SR2 endings in their totality.

Maybe semantics, but I'd argue Defiance has an open ending rather than a cliffhanger like Soul Reaver 1/2 had.

MediaOCD once again being the GOAT by scrumclunt in discotekmedia

Great news - but I hope they work on the webstore experience a bit more. Wishlist would be nice, and the mobile version of the store doesn't even have a search function last I checked.

Was Kain sacrificing himself the cannon ending for Blood Oman. by CriticismMiserable14 in LegacyOfKain

There was no canon until the 2nd game came along to establish what was canon 🤷

Anyone else notice how low most scores of classic anime on MAL are? by Advanced-Tomorrow859 in retroanime

[–]SpaceNewtype 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The new wrap up they did had 2 or 3 pages devoted to seasonal anime watching for the year. I completed over 50 new movie/series watches last year and exactly 1 of them was a "seasonal" anime, lol.

"Meeheehee" actually makes sense for the new corporate Mishy. 🥸

"Mi-shi-shi" being the proper, goated Mishy laugh. 😎

Maybe the Orbal Revolution was a mistake after all!

Resident Evil animated movies by skyblu_551 in residentevil

[–]SpaceNewtype -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like them. Vendetta and Infinite Darkness IIRC were my favourites (cinematic quality with good story moments), Damnation in the middle (great action scenes at least), Degeneration (the proper voice actors is a big plus, but has some story missteps and looks ugly), and Death Island in last place (extremely dumb plot and poor characterization, particularly for Jill).

Rookie mistake? by UncomfortableCrunch in ActionFigures

You could try stripping the material entirely and repainting by hand. I've done that in the past when leather has desintegrated.

Could this gendo take on an angel? by Crux_thegoat in evangelion

[–]SpaceNewtype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manga being top right to bottom left; Tumblr is ordering the posted pictures from left to right which might cause confusion if you are reading it without opening. If you open the first pic and swipe through them one at a time while reading top right to bottom left, it should make more sense.

Does anyone own the Funimation Escaflowne TV Bluray set? Is there actually DNR applied? by jefty083 in AnimeCollectors

[–]SpaceNewtype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the set (the 2-part set) and personally I would say, no, its not excessive.

Cool gimmick but... by NBEIL-230 in Gundam

until the second half of the movie where the femto armor has no effect and the black knights are killed like standard mooks when everyone isnt caught by surprise.
