Since I'm way to lazy and tired to read through the past pages.

I'm finding it hard to continue watching Bleach these days. The quality has turned serious QUALITY and possibly the shittiest animation I've seen in YEARS. Oh god, that last episode was so fucking terrible it makes a man just want to pull out his eyes and shove them into wood chipper.

But the third Hellsing OVA will fix that in the morning.

Not too bad, $4.06 short of $1,000 on this last two week pay check. Working at a Burger King kinda pays off. I guess.

There is the entire Narutimate Hero series, the RPG series for the GBA/DS as well as several platformers for the same handhelds. There is also the Narutimate Hero for PSP.

NO. Online leftovers are inferior and maybe not even worth its price compared to convention prices.

Comiket this August 17th to 19th at the Tokyo Big Sight. Anyone going there better tell me quickly so I can make preparations and see some of you from NG/A/ in person.

Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society hits store shelves on DVD today. Is anyone else going to rush out and buy it? I just ordered the $35 Widescreen Limited Edition for $12.99 on BestBuy.com.

Lord God, horrid. Nothing kills a series like QUALITY.

Indeed it will, it has some of the finest animation I've seen in years.

Do realize that 90% of us do not have the money or means to attend the grander conventions such as Comiket, we're pretty much stuck with ordering online.

Not to mention if you really bother to look, you can find some excelent Haruhi merch for very cheap.

Dream on, there. I'd love to go, but I honestly doubt anyone but you (our possibly Wonko) will attend.

Sometimes you seem to forget the majority of us folks aren't exactly blessed with the money and geographical location to be on the pulse of the otaku community.

Maybe you will see Konata there! Ha!

And Gurren Lagann was licensed by ADV Films on June 30th. Not sure how to feel about this, since ADV is a good company...but being licensed has some problems.

Though I don't think ADV is as annoying as Viz when it comes to...certain things.

Youtube chooses the screenshot to make the thumbnail for videos, and it was amazing that the one they chose for this video was the less than a second Nia upskirt shot.

Pffft, ADV is one of the few decent companies out there. They've given us good dubs in the past and offer helpful things like translation notes, not to mention sexy packaging design.

Nice nonspecific complaint.

Viz flat-out sucks anime-wise, they've not got many series licensed and most of the ones they do have are either.....

A) Bad
or
B) Good, but given horrid dub cast and/or inaccurate translation

Like hell my command is going to approve leave to Tokyo all by myself for that.

Get a job, you lazy bum.

Yesterday, I went to see the transformers movie with my youunger cousins. It passed my expectations and it was pretty good. The humor was ok, but the action and CG was fine. I'd give it an 9/10.

Also, does anyone know about the Record of Lodoss Wars anime? I remeber seeing one of the episodes (of the OVA, I believe) and I was wondering how good the rest of the series is?

You mean 'several or more Konata', amirite?

I trust ADV's judgement more than any other 'dubbing company' to record. I actually enjoyed their dubs of "Full Metal Panic!" and "RahXephon" the second time around (the first being with original language, of course).

Though I don't think ADV is as annoying as Viz when it comes to...certain things.

Just about anything.

And I'm not just referring to censorship and voice casting either. Even if a typical american TV show has a 30 second intro for consistency, they keep an opening as intact as they can (with exception to altering text credits to fit the language).

Ah, Tokko is great. Ani-Mondays are great. Macross Plus is great. Seriously though, I was watching the commercials and they have a Highlander anime. What is that about? The movie wasn't enough? And I guess that Solid State Society is the third season of Ghost in the Shell. Hope to see that on Adult Swim sometime soon.

Has anyone played a Robotech game?

I have one for GBA and it is so much fun...

I heard it's a great LOTR type of anime. I think you should check it out sometime.

I've found a couple of tapes of the second series a while ago at a video store, but someone bought them. Also, I can't find an English dub anywhere (unfortunately for me, I came across a dvd boxset in french for only $30).

Oh god if it is a LOTR type of anime I have to watch it now.

Touche!

Though I think cosplaying as her won't work well...with the really long blue hair. The rest would be simple, with just a schoolgirl outfit and a beauty mark.

Of course, the easiest cosplay around today would be an SOS Brigade member, since all you would need is the arm band. Even Haruhi isn't that tough to do. Mikuru, however, may be a little difficult for Japanese girls.

Kyon is better anways...

Fuck no.

Also, not everyone with a job makes enough to go on an international flight for a convention.

Well I finally finished watch the Irresponsible Captain Tylor OVA. It was pretty good and they even made some of the shows out of order...sort of. Like during an episode they would go from where another episode to started to where it ended at. Makes plenty of sense when you watch it.

The ending was just as open as the series too.

Though both endings were nice, and surprising.

Oh, and you really don't need to post saying you aren't interested in something. Not talking about it says you aren't interested. And if you aren't interested in something, then it is a given that you aren't going to check it out.

He probably does.

Oh hey, look, you're actually starting to do something as an authority figure. I thought there must have been a reason the others promoted you. Took you long enough to show it.

I've done plenty in here. I was the first one to bring up the change from 5 animes to 10 for the anime list. That was even before I was an authority figure. I discussed with the others about our new joining system. I've given the joining requirements to some new people and asked others if they wanted to join. I've also tried to keep posting new stuff or start a conversation. And have systematically added pages to the club by posting large pictures with my messages, which subconsciously makes others more prone to posting pictures. Cus who wants to be part of a club that doesn't have the most active pages?

I'm just a nice guy, so I don't usually come down on people, unlike HaroFreak or Gendo.

Very well. Everyone has their own leadership style, and I wont suppress yours. Help the club in your own way.

Golden boy deserves an award for making laugh so hard.

Oh Captain Tylor. You're so very irresponsible. I would hate to have you as my commander, even if you do keep winning out of blind luck.

No it's not, i own that game and hate it.

I concur. "Robotech: The Macross Saga" for the Game Boy Advance is a bitch and a half. I've tried all of the starting characters at least three times, and I can't get any of them to survive the first level. The only two things that make it tolerable are:
1.) It works with the Nintendo DS Lite, so I didn't have to go out and buy another portable system.
2.) It came with a free mini-figure; a chibi VF-1A in Battloid mode

If you want a good Robotech game, I would suggest either "Robotech: Battlecry" or "Robotech: Invasion" for the PlayStation 2. However, I'm currently stuck on the second level of Invasion - some guy with a bazooka keeps killing my wingman before I can get him in my sights.

Tylor is a pretty complicated character. Sometimes it seems he doesn't really care what happens, sometimes he is super optimistic, and rarely he actually acts like a Captain. His crew is awesome though. I like Mr. Yamamoto...though that might just be from the OVA.

I say cheat and enter SUPERCYC to get invincibility (if at least for the one level)! If God of War had cheat codes it would be so nice, cus the 2nd stage of the final boss is annoying.

Damn straight, "Battlecry" was awesome and "Invasion" can be fun despite its difficulty.

Well I am getting Jojo's Bizarre Adventure because...well...the show itself it its own reason.

Also, people can call Samurai Jack an anime all they want!

Good, good.

One of my all-time favorite anime series.

Also, Lupin III: Return of The Magician is ungodly awesome. One of the finest pieces of Lupin kickassery I've seen in a while (even though the CGI was crap).
