Animu - weekly catch-up time. My partner & I generally try to keep up with shows as they air in Japan, but the past 2 weeks have left us w/out as much time as we’d normally devote to it
I genuinely wasn’t expecting as many great pieces from the fall, but there’s just SO MUCH. Seasonal high-points have been: Sakugan,…
“Elden Ring May Just Reinvent The Open-World Genre”
this guy is such an irredeemable tool, and years later when everyone is trying to desperately forget his ass even exists, still can’t get his story straight on a well documented events. YIKES.
also:
Once more, G-Gundam is “popular” but it never has reached, nor will ever reach, the popularity of the Parent UC Franchise.
Don’t be salty cause someone called you out for fibbing ^__^.
This is you at 1:28
Dude, don’t be that guy.
You’re being like that kid in 5th grade who claimed that, on very good information, something that was total bullshit was fact because “my one friend’s dad works for that company and HE’S AN EXPERT! ”.
Would you believe JP fans (particularly ladies) LOVE seed and consider it a masterpiece? me over here like:
“G Gundam ultimately proved very popular in Japan.”
as much as I enjoy dunking on Bethesda’s many, MANY poor choices, the fact there was a Trump on their BoD, or the many lies & faux-pas of Todd Coward, I would be genuinely stoked to watch a show based on Fallout.
I’d love to see something set during the Brotherhood’s cross-continental sojourn before landing in DC, as…
“this is the second live-action Gundam movie. the first was G-Saviour which was set at the tail end of the UC timeline before it was retconned.”
Friend, Sunrise would never in a million years greenlight the very first live action of what is arguably one of the most important/influential/profitable science fiction franchises of the past 40+ years to not be set in the main UC-Era Timeline.
q: “So uh... Josh, what are women doing?”
a: “Oh, the exact same thing, we just don’t care about those optics.”
better article title:
Hollywood Hack ceases attempts at rewriting gay history; returns to roots making unwanted/shitty disaster “films”
A “Dangerous Social and Psychological Experiment” you say? Hmmm...
Well, that was the least fitting music for a trailer I’ve seen in a hot minute. it’s like those old YT memes “XXXXXXX but set to inappropriate music”, only instead of it being a bad joke, someone actively signed off on it like: “oh yeah no, this is great, good job boys!”
Did he also explain why they’re making an unreasonably big deal over not showing us Edward?
Because Bebop w/out Ed isn’t bebop. It’d be like Bebop w/ out Yoko Kano. At this point I don’t need a big surprise, I just want to know they’re being handled respectfully.
I used to call him “McReaper” (due to all the shippers placing him w/ Reaper, which I thought was adorable).
Since all the Blizzard stuff became public knowledge, he’s become “McCreep”, since the real Jesse McCree IS an actual Creep. I feel like that would have been a better name for him.
Esports announcers are already…
“I swear it feels like Netflix only has one animation style”
Something a lot of people are still confused on: Netflix doesn’t animate anything. Kotaku writers/other western sites are partially to blame for this (I’m looking at you, Rob, you big dum-dum!) misconception.
“Netflix Originals/Netflix Anime” is a misnomer;…
“b-but how am I gonna stream my INSERT NETFLIX SHOW HERE if I unsub from netflix?”
well, kids there’s this thing called the internet...
for the 2021 addendum, don’t forget “Dead by Daylight”, which bills itself as a horror game but is really just competitive hide & go seek w/ a spooky theme.
(the true horror is the community in high ranks, lol).
The enduring popularity of Minecraft, Imho, stems from the fact that, outside of the base game, it’s extremely, and I mean EXTREMELY, mod friendly. It’s kind of like Gmod: on it’s own it’s kind of meh, but the amount of insane bullshit people have made using minecraft as the base template simply boggles the mind.
