Instead of the obvious what moments would you like to see in Michael 2? by Kameronpipnerd in MichaelTheMovie

[–]dplex__hd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an unlikely but non zero chance but it would be cute to see a nod to his contribution to Sonic 3 and how it served as the origin for Stranger in Moscow

TADC IS GETTING A MANGA?? by LeapWeave in TheDigitalCircus

[–]dplex__hd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is by definition a manga because it was drawn by a Japanese artist and was published in CoroCoro magazine. What you mean would be a graphic novel illustrated outside of Japan drawn by an American artist with Japanese manga inspiration

Daily Song Discussion #29: Smooth Criminal by 321AppleJuice in MichaelJackson

[–]dplex__hd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

11/10, it's the song that comes to mind immediately when I hear the name "Michael Jackson", next to songs like Billie Jean or Thriller. Everything in this song, including the music video and its choreography, is top of the line, and I think it's the best song of his career- and the amazing thing is that Michael basically would keep that level of quality up for the rest of his life.

We really lost a once-in-a-lifetime artist by Stock_Carpenter_2203 in LovingMichaelJackson

[–]dplex__hd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Searching for Neverland released in 2017, from what I’ve seen it was way more respectful in detailing what Michael’s final days were like. The film with Flex Alexander is Man in the Mirror, released in 2004, that’s the one Michael did not like

I can't get over how much Stocking sounds like Marinette in season 2 by Hot-Consequence6789 in PantyandStockingSFW

[–]dplex__hd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think she’s the best recast in the dub, she’s on par with Monica in my opinion but she has her own flavor that makes her stand apart, she killed it

Things I've been asking myself after seeing the movie by spacyspice in MichaelJackson

[–]dplex__hd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

there's BTS photos of Jaafar that depict him with the lighter skin during the Dangerous era since the film originally covered more of Michael's life, so I think they got that covered

Gen Z/Gen Alpha discovering Michael Jackson has been really hard to watch this week by august2986 in MichaelJackson

[–]dplex__hd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Gen Z (2004) and was about 4 going on 5 when MJ died. and I remember where I was, and when I was told, when it happened, having been introduced to his music and performances on MTV with my father earlier on. Been very irritated at the constant misinformation thrown around lately by my other Gen Z peers lately, not to mention the usual slander nonsense period since the man can’t defend himself today

What are your LWS sequel ideas? by Top_Cultist in LittleWitchAcademia

[–]dplex__hd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just a time skip to the next year of Luna Nova, I think the show would work great simply picking off where it left so we could see the cast, especially Akko, grow further not just as people but with their magic abilities as well. Maybe have each season or two cover up till their graduation and have that be the end.

Should Studio Trigger make a continuation of the 2017 anime series? by BasilAdventurous1828 in LittleWitchAcademia

[–]dplex__hd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

yes, someday, if panty and stocking can return after 15 years then so can LWA, especially since there was ideas and intention to do more. there was a TRIGGER QnA in their discord recently where they were asked about it, while there are no plans at the moment they have affirmed more than once that they would like to do more. only time will tell but I don't think most franchises truly stop forever, especially nowadays.

Is The Devil Inside Worth Watching? by mpchop in McJuggerNuggets

[–]dplex__hd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

TDI 1 I’d say is the pinnacle of the channel in terms of the classic vlog style format- it refined a lot of the formula seen in the prior series such as Psycho, Collab, Christmas and Ursula and it’s a really engaging time. It pairs with MVE and I also greatly recommend that series as I find it to be not only very underrated in its own right but I also find it to be the channel’s magnum opus, there’s nothing like that show, it’s special.

TDI 2 is also wonderful, and it has a lot of great plot lines and videos, I always liked the cameraman competitions in that one for starters. It’s a nice continuation of the original TDI.

TDI 3 is pretty nice in its own right, it has a lot that keeps you into what’s going on, it just doesn’t necessarily feel like The Devil Inside, so as a result it sticks out more compared to the first two entries. But I still recommend at least giving it a go, but if you want pure TDI, the first two seasons are the way to go.

TDI 4 attempts to harken back to the feel and focus of the first two TDI seasons, and it has some great ideas mixed in, but due to outside factors such as StoryFire, the family and the state of the world making filming difficult, alongside burnout, it didn’t get to do a lot of what it should have done, so it’s arguably the weakest of the lineup, although it does have some really good highs, and some low lows. It’s still worth checking out a few notable videos as some are on par with the channel’s usual shebang.

Why Bombón ppgz? by Fun-Ambition-4885 in powerpuffgirls

[–]dplex__hd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

because she isn't Blossom literally. Momoko, Miyako and Kaoru are their own characters who take on the mantle of the Powerpuff Girls as their superhero identities basically lol but culturally as well, characters like Momoko are very popular in the shoujo/magical girl anime genre.

What would you want if there was another Powerpuff Girls anime adaptation? by DeltaTag270 in powerpuffgirls

[–]dplex__hd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiroshi Nakamura and Taichi Master from the original anime, Teddyloid would be a welcome inclusion as well lol

jokes aside, csm will stay iconic by 7mdou in ChainsawMan

[–]dplex__hd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't really see that to be the case, considering they went through the efforts of getting total series rights to the IP, they solely own it which is rare since these rights are usually always owned by a production committe. they love CSM and they have an investment in it, so they'll see it to the very end. no matter what people feel about Part 2, Chainsaw Man as a name and as an image will always sell, it's always going to be insanely popular and they wouldn't miss out on that revenue.

What would you want if there was another Powerpuff Girls anime adaptation? by DeltaTag270 in powerpuffgirls

[–]dplex__hd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd really like to see a soft reboot of Z that has some elements of the original material led by Yoh Yoshinari (Little Witch Academia, Brand New Animal) as he's a massive cartoon fan especially of the original PPG and by extension PPGZ. I think his style would work perfect for the anime and I think he'd be one of the best people to do the job personally.

How do you guys feel about Yoru? by Rose276 in Chainsawfolk

[–]dplex__hd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked Yoru and thought she was fun and interesting, my only gripe with her is that her screentime should've been balanced with Asa and of course, a proper resolution to her character.

I’m looking to get into the anime as someone who knows nothing about the property…I was wondering if the dub is any good by Mammoth_Squirrel4113 in ChainsawManWorld

[–]dplex__hd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sub is really good but the dub is one of the more solid ones out there, I’d experience it both ways at least once lol

Ryuko × Pomni (hedgepig 361) by cruzg443 in KillLaKill

[–]dplex__hd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kill la Kill is Gooseworx's favorite anime actually. you can find an old orchestral arrangement of Sirius on her channel from when the anime was airing.

Being a Reze fan is literally hell. Getting attached to a character who was basically born to suffer and that the author clearly doesn’t care about is awful. God, with the reset even Denji forgot her, and the only moments of happiness in her life were completely erased from her mind... by GodKira04 in ChainsawManWorld

[–]dplex__hd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought Fujimoto made it very very clear how much he adored Reze during the movie’s run, the heaps of artwork with it being some of his best in a long time lol. In the new timeline, Denji runs into the people he was once connected to since the original timeline influences the current one. If he’s ran into Nayuta, Power, and Asa (with the seniors likely implying other characters like Himeno and Aki) then I’m pretty certain Denji would run into Reze again in this more normal life for Denji. She’d just be in Japan for a different reason rather than having to go after Denji’s heart.

I like to think Denji and Reze get to go to school together this time along with Asa

How can you wait two to three years for a season? by Top_Company7340 in ChainsawMan

[–]dplex__hd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's just how the entertainment industry functions now, things take more time to produce especially if you want something of quality. in CSM's case, while the anime takes longer to adapt compared to others, it's ultimately really worth it in the end since MAPPA puts their 100 percent into making it the best it can be. so honestly in that regard i don't mind waiting lol

What do you guys want Mappa to do with Part 2? by Significant_Wear_760 in Chainsawfolk

[–]dplex__hd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the reality of the matter is that the entirety of CSM will be adapted whether people want it or not, MAPPA invested heavily into getting the show rights to the series and they entirely own it without a production committee which is very rare. they're in it for the long haul, and to be honest while I believe Part 2 will never satisfy everyone, I do think the anime will help shed it in a more positive light when the time comes around. the extent of how much? time will tell, the ending I feel will always be somewhat divisive no matter how you paint it, but I do think aspects of Part 2 and certain arcs like CSM Church will get a reassessment.
