regemond Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I really want a new Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! game just so I can play the Dragon Ball Super theme. It's been stuck in my head for days, both the awesome intro version and the instrumentals they do when something epic happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikzilla Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Devil Man Crybaby I'm not the biggest anime guy so I'm late to the party with this, but I was watching a dude on YouTube talk about this earlier and when he mentioned it was a remake of Devilman I jumped straight to it. I loved Devilman when I was a kid and had no idea this was a remake, I always thought it was a sequel or spin off or something. Anyway, it's great. Fantastic animation, great music, gratuity in spades. I'm having a great time with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCH Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I assume this is a Manga Thread too, so I'll just jump right into what I'm currently reading. So realising my other JoJo reviews are lost to the Dead GTM, I'll sum up quickly to where I am. I started reading through JoJo when the HC collection released a couple years ago. To date it has broken down as follows: Part 1: Phantom Blood - 3 volumes Part 2: Battle Tendency - 4 volumes Part 3: Stardust Crusaders - 10 volumes Now a long standing complaint I've had with Part 3 is that it has been dragged out way too long. Half of these books reek of Filler. As such the last few volumes really dragged. Also unlike Part 2 (my current favourite) the main cast of the story has often bored me to tears, with how generic they are. To the extent I tend to forget half of their names and certain characters (Read: Iggy) I didn't even see the purpose they served within the book. Plus not only did you have the main Macguffin of Part 1 & 2 completely replaced for reasons. The new "power-up", Stands, even have their own rules rewritten by the mid-point. Negating their initial concept and limitations. Anyway Volume 10 is the finale, the battle against DIO himself (his name became capitalised since his initial appearance in Part 1 for some purpose, I imagine??) and the pacing was such a step up from the last three volumes I'd assume this was written prior. Around the time the initial concept of Stands was established. Well thought out and choreographed. The last few "surprise" deaths with characters I had zero investment in and a one page resolution so bewildering and certainly rushed, I simply called BS on it and finished this book and this part. I'm told a new plot and fresh direction will follow with Part 4, I look forward to that. Meanwhile I can't see how this has the "fan favourite" status it does. 6/10 As for Part Three overall, some interesting ideas and concepts with an awful lot of shite added to the mix, alongside shallow and superficial characterisation: 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Clips of One Punch Man Season 2 are going up on YT?! Is this on Crunchyroll or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeFour Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Dunno I'll check tomo. Annoyed it isn't on Netflix, I heard they had it. Just seen myself that it's airing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Been watching a bit of Devilman Crybaby with the Missus, up to about Ep. 4 and really enjoying it so far. It is absolutely mental, but I love the weirdness and wackiness of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Just got a pre-order dispatch notice. JoJo Vol. 4: Diamond is Unbreakable - Part 1, is on its way. Hoping it is at least a step up from Vol. 3 and more on par with 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeFour Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 @Maf it would seem OPM S2 is on Crunchyroll ? not been on yet but checked the app and it is there. 4 hours ago, Blakey said: Been watching a bit of Devilman Crybaby with the Missus, up to about Ep. 4 and really enjoying it so far. It is absolutely mental, but I love the weirdness and wackiness of it. Yeah it is. Wait till you get later In ? I preferred the older two part movie that I saw when I was younger. DevilMan appeared more vicious in that I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeFour Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I wasn't sure at first. It gets a bit nuts in terms of their abilities and satisfied that itch whilst waiting for other stuff. When do we get new Dragonball stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I just didn’t like the character designs. They were really grotesque and ugly. There’s DBS manga on YT. The guys are fighting a new bad guy called Moro who is some kind of wizard or something. It’s not very good but maybe the anime version will be better There’s also that Dragon Ball Super Heroes which is like official fan fiction. It is watchable but a bit naff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 So as stated, I am seventeen HC volumes into JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and now I'm pissed. The books had a matching aesthetic to the covers, with colour variation. Phantom Blood - Green Battle Tendency - Red Stardust Crusaders - Blue Vol 4. Part 1 arrived today and THEY HAVE CHANGED THE DAMN COVER DESIGN? Font, layout, everything! FFS? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 The Guyver is still one of my most favourite character designs. Look at this shit, you don’t want to mess with that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
