Chatterbox - Anime & Manga

You can ease off on Captain Earth. That show ended up as a whole bunch of nothing.

Well, I'm one of those people that wants to see things through to the end, so still gonna watch it all the way through.

Currently also watching Space Battleship Yamato 2199 after having first seen the original. So far the remake is superior in characterisation, animation (unsurprisingly) and plot.

I just learned that Itsuki Koizumi has the same voice actor as Shintarou Midorima, Shuukurou Tsukishima, Joutarou Kuujou, and Fafnir. What is this madness?!

The voice of Dr. Eggman was some dude in a hentai once.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

Oh yeah. I'd tell you the name if I didn't think I'd get thumped for it.

Better stay safe and not say anything else, then.

He was also a character in Berserk. No really.

Adon Corbowitz. The bloopers were hysterical. Also, an acquaintance of mine found some lost music from the Di C dub of Sailor Moon.

considering Taro Yoko's recent increase in popularity, anyone else think that his Manga, Thou Shalt Not Die, will get an anime?

And if so, who would you pick?

That manga seems a bit too over the line for most modern quick cash in animes, even the darker adaptations.

Scum's Wish was thought to have been to over the line, but then, you know...

I guess it's not impossible, but I'm not sure how well known his name is— Most people just know that Nier Automata is cool. And is the manga actually good?

It rips apart all the annoying things about Magical High School anime, so....

Well, Yoko Taro is also known for Tearing apart JRPG cliche's in the first place, anyhow, and he's a very good director and writer.

His name is more well-known now than it's ever been, and Square-Enix kept funding him until now, so if he has any luck maybe an anime company will feel the same way and just like Automata it'll defy all expectations and become a decent success.

I dunno how likely it is but I'm genuinely still kinda shocked Automata exists at all.

I've been supporting him for a while now, so I wish him the best of luck. Then again, he did wish me a Merry Christmas, so that might be saying something.

Yeah, we follow each other on Twitter.

Explain?

Was it something on Twitter or something?

Get to 2:35.

Wait a minute, this video is two weeks old. Damn it, I need to look at release dates closer.

It's happening.

To the surprise of no one.

It was never a given thing. There are a lot of mobage about cute girls that don't get TV anime. Some of them even have anime commercials

Finished Rakugo Shinjuu Season 2. What an effective 25 episode advertisment for the most old-school Japanese art.

It's been awhile since I had that sinking gut feeling. No spoilers, but my gripes with the second season were trampled into the dirt. The conclusion to these characters' stories made it all worth it. I'm happy it ended on such a high note....but maaan, part of me can't believe it's actually over.

Actually, it hasn't been awhile. It's been exactly a week I think, the last time was Konosuba Season 2's end. It was a good season for me, even if I followed like one show.

Of course something this ridiculous would get an anime. Japan has a reputation to maintain.

So... What's the premise behind the horse-girls in Uma Musume?
