I'm way too sleep deprived to be clever so I'll just use my terrible sense of humor to say I'm going to someday write a fifty page dissertation about Griffith's eyes.

 

Also watched up to episode six of Black Lagoon yesterday. Really enjoying it very much and did some research on the manga. I'll probably check that out too at some point.

 

Okay bye.

 

ETA: @Zekka: Hawk, not falcon. Stickler about stupid beautiful birdman. Okay, bye x2.

I've watched both and I'd say both subs are roughly equivalent. There's some small differences but nothing really major.

Edit:

Based on my VERY LIMITED knowledge of japanese, I'd say the fansub was more "direct", while the official sub went more with how what the characters were saying should be interpreted given the context. But like I said, very limited knowledge of japanese, so I could be completely wrong about this.

So now that I'm back in front of my PC and got a little more time, I should probably specify that for fansubs I watched the niizk release for Aria the Animation, the CrystalNova release for Aria the Natural and the Hitode release for the OVA and Aria the Origination.

Some nitpicking can be made here and there, but no huge flaw in any of them in my opinion.

About Gantz:

It depends what you want going into it. In terms of an action story it's quite good and the art is quite detailed and has some great moments.

The story and characters are kind of meh for me. It's not quite as deep as it would maybe like to be and I couldn't find myself emotionally connecting to the characters much.

It's a lot like watching a tense game being played. A bunch of people are forced to fight in team matches against aliens and the matches continue until 1 side is completely wiped out. It's the kind of story where a LOT of the characters end up dead at one point or another, but the matches themselves can be rather engaging and interesting.

There's one match in particular I rather liked with a "boss" alien that was incredibly powerful and had a really interesting ability that made it damned near impossible to kill ("I see, I see" "I understand" boss)

But yeah overall I have mixed feelings. If you just want a tense action manga then it's great. If you want a good story then it's mostly meh.

Official Dark Horse English translation calls it Falcon and so does the new translations. I read somewhere that the Hawk was always a mistranslation.

Yes, I think he used the word pretentious affectionately for his favorite shows

Haha yeah.

 

 

Anyway Gantz is the series where a character went blackfaced and shot up like a million people in Japan.

 

That was stupid on offensive levels as well as on a oh my god that could never happen ever no way no how this is so stupid level.

 

F**k Gantz.

[Isichar]

Haha yeah.

Just finished Season 2 of Black Lagoon. Some thoughts:

 

Spoiler

Really enjoyed how Yukio's arc ended. I felt that her story not having a happy ending was a hell of a lot more realistic and kinda what Rock needed. He could never have saved her, not truly. What he wanted for her was a fantasy, a way to reaffirm what he himself believed to be right. Unfortunately, that was all kind of shattered when Yukio committed suicide. The strongest moment for me was when Revy told him to close his eyes, so he wouldn't see her die. And with her death, Rock had to wake up from his naive fantasy, which Revy desperately wanted to protect.

 

Revy's character development was breathtaking in this arc. I really, really enjoyed how she wanted to push Rock back into the life that she could never have. She, in some respects, wanted to preserve that innocence, that moral center that he embodies. That's why she tried to get him to see his parents and why she told him to close his eyes.

 

 

Absolutely perfect.

[TheClonesLegacy]

Is Gantz a show with Robits?

Sounds like one...Gantz.

 

I have nothing to contribute. So I shall post Makoto beating up a dude.

[Some Geth]

It didn't portray anything well.

@Clones

No not really. The characters use combat suits. It does have combat vehicles but they are only used from time to time.

[TheClonesLegacy]

Weeeeeaaak!

I loved that episode.

Have you ever stopped to consider... what it would feel like to be shot with a pathetic gun like this?

[Isichar]

Nonsense! It has a realistic portrayal of... Uhhh... Stuff and... Things.

I do sort of like how Kei develops from a complete PoS to a not-complete PoS at least.

That's something alright

[Fidite Nemini]

I loved that episode.

 

Am still sad about Ginji. Such a good man ... and oh boy, together with Chang the only male character that can match the awesome ladies in Black Lagoon!

[Isichar]

That's something alright

Oh I forgot to mention. The guy in the last one proceeds to have sex with the alien.

I'm not even kidding.

[Some Geth]

Again.

 

F**k Gantz.

[CrazyRah]

What the f*** did I just look at? Well, that's enough of the Anime thread for one day. You guys have fun, mkay.





Also, I recommend a heavy dose of Xanax.

Don't worry about that! We are always having fun in here and sometimes.. with some very unique art and it sure can be very unique 

[TheClonesLegacy]

You know.

Everything after the Triceratops was...odd.
