@Radish

Cheers.

anyone excited like me that Astro Boy finally hit theaters. It looks decent. Like an actual good remake. Id like to take a look at the remake of The Three Musketeers also.

It's been Hollywood-ized! It looks fun but the ad highlights the significant cultural changes Astro Boy went through to appeal to the Western market. It looks like it will follow the same line as "The Incredibles".

To sum it all up:

"I got machine guns in my butt!?"

Just saw CENCOROLL an hour ago. I really enjoyed it! It kinda hat that BONES feeling throughout the anime, though BONES didn't make it. Atsuya Uki did an amazing job on it. I really hope the ending was a prelude to another CENCOROLL anime :D

Absolutely horrific:

I'm happy that Hollywood is taking these masterpieces so it can appeal to the Western audience. However, it always seems that they dumb down the characters significantly by turning them into two dimensional personalities. An example is Astro Boy that was mentioned a few posts above. Can you imagine what Motoko and Batou will be reduced to in the Hollywood live action remake?

To be fair, it's only disturbing because we know the intelligence gone into making these influential artworks. To people who have never seen or have a negative reaction to comics since they think it's only for children, the live action remakes can potentially serve as gateways to Masamune Shirow's and other anime/manga authors' works.

Hasn't the anime series ended?

Nope, SHAFT animated up to 15 episodes but the TV scheduling block only allowed 12 episodes to be aired. The remaining three episodes will be streamed online but it seems they are getting postponed because of production issues.

yeah, unless everybody gains superpowers or something i don't see how they can defeat theyre current enemy

I'm more interested in finding what happens to Caska.

It looks like that anime is headed to become a cult classic like Suzumiya. I'll wait 'till all the episodes are aired before I jump on it.

Bleach 244 is out. Kenpachi time!

after watching it, pretty good. The fight was not as epic as I was hoping, but hopefully it just started. I loved the ending, where they mention if kenpachi's sword materialized, it would instantly destroy all of soul society lol.

Maybe this is a hint that they'll never show Kenpachi release his Zanpuktou :rolleyes:

Na, its something that makes Kenpachi who he is. If he found his bankia, he would be invincible most likely. He's a unique character, and I would hate for them to ruin him by showing some Bankai that doesn't live up to our expectations.

These are the best filler episodes to date, for any anime I have seen. Side stories about characters we wont see again are horrible, but stories that involve main elements of the story and characters, thats the way to go it looks like.

Bakemonogatari is still on top form with the online episodes (Y) Senjougahara made me laugh when she imitated Araragi's voice with her seiyu which sounded nothing like him, poor Hachikuji getting manhandled by Araragi and tense moments between Hanekawa and Araragi as she becomes a cat :laugh:

Preview of Katanagatari at the end of the episode as well.

      Here's a good laugh for you then. My brother, his girl friend and my son all have the Galaxy A15 5g and they are working absolutely great. My wife and I both have the A16 and they are working great also. Maybe you are laughing at the specs, but for under $100 I would hope you aren't expecting much.

      We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.

      Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
