Anime and Manga Thread: Isekai must Die edition


Recommended Posts

sheeeeittt, I also just started watching Bastard!! ....right from the first episode I'm loving this.  Of course... I can't help but imagine that if a live-action netflix or Disney adaptation happens at some point in the nearfuture... we all know what happens to that redhaired main female character:

Hey, it's just the rules, y'know.  Redheads need not apply.  

 

Anyway, I'm enjoying this show so far.

As unbelievable as it may sound... The Pokémon Anime managed to put out a legit season.

 

Deadass, this is actually good for once. I am skipping a lot of filler-esque episodes and the ones featuring Ash's partner based on Pokémon Go, but like, it's actually the most hype this anime has ever been.

 

I don't even know how to process this information. It would be like watching an Dragon Ball arc and it having good writing. That shit is unprecedented.

Discotek announced that all of the City Hunter OVAs/movies released before the 2019  Shinjuku Private Eyes movie will be on a 2 disc Bluray collection set for release in "Winter 2023".

These are not full remasters unfortunately, but upscales.

 

This includes the 1999 Death of Ryo Saeba which was never released by ADV during their "tenure" in the late 90s/early 2000's.

Oddly enough, the ADV English dubs from the other 5 films will be included in the set. (Discotek did their own dub for Shinjuku Private Eyes for the US release)

Virtually everyone on e-hentai hate Jacob, so it seems they finally got some payback.

I mean, they removed it from rightstuf, sure, but the article even mentions you can still buy all the 18+ merch RS had for sale (and more) at another well known site. Which they also link in the article. So it doesn’t really matter?

Never thought I'd feel the need to vent over a anime/Manga yet here I am. I fucking HATE the direction they went in for Muriko in My Hero Academia. Spoilers for those who ain't caught up

 

Spoiler

I get the idea of what he's portraying with her character. A heroic badass that's dedicated to her work. And is a war/combat junkie that has no issues with dying or suffering because she lives everyday as if it's her last. And the mission is greater than her.

 

With that said. I think there were way better ways to go about it. Instead of making her the Squidward of the series. Where whenever he wants someone to suffer to show things are getting real? Maim and dismember Miruko and show her wounds in graphic detail.

 

Like that panel of her reduced to damn near a stump. Running around on all fours. With one good leg and her other limbs are stumps. At that point I don't see a heroic badass fighting through the pain for the greater good. Although that is what she's doing.

 

I see a severely wounded feral animal. That won't stop. Despite its gruesome injuries. And for its own peace. Needs to be put down and out of its misery. Lastly. Why is a woman with damn near no limbs fighting harder than all the other men there???

 

As much of a close quarters beast Mirio is. He's just providing distractions. While she out here on stumps leading the charge??? The fuck going on???

MHA has fallen off the wagon...

For real man. This is just edgy gore porn non sense at this point. Like really that image of Miruko wasn't enough to illustrate how hard-core things are? 

 

Spoiler

They really had to have her not only continuing to fight Shiggy with damn near no limbs. But actually being the most effective fighter in that condition??? Could've sworn Mirio was said to be the closest hero to reaching All Might's level. PROS INCLUDED!!!

 

So why the fuck isn't she having her wounds treated. While he leads the charge!? Dis some bullshit

Yeah, I used to enjoy following MHA but it has become like the worst of 90s/00s super hero grit in manga form, everything is excessively long, shock value visuals and the core of what made the franchise popular is pushed behind trend chasing.

 

Spoiler

Really feels like he is chasing Jujutsu or Chainsaw Man with how dark he let visuals and the on screen violence go. I love Mirko is still fighting but damn do we really need to see her fighting on stubs or Bakugo's heart burst and another hero seemingly sacrificing themselves to save him. 

 

Also as a One Piece fan I have to say damn the fights feel like they take forever these last couple of years.

No I agree the series as a whole isn't long but these big fights keep on dragging. This is the final arc so the battles should be epics but instead of keeping things paced in a way we see a little bit here and a little bit there, he locks onto one fight and unfortunately doing so drags every move someone makes out. These last few fights have felt like you spread what could be two issues worth of content over five. I get you want the visuals and to provide stakes but given we are waiting for old boy to arrive for this conflict it feels like they are stretching for a volume of content instead of just setting things up or bringing him in for the big fight.

Yeah one thing you can always say about JoJo they are not afraid of throwing curves at the audience and defying expectations on how things are expected to go. Love it.

 

Although I think because I didn't read it much earlier in life, I can't stand part 3, love the characters and some of the fights but it felt like they took forever to get to Dio.

i was watching space cobra the old ass anime and i forgot how alike the 1st eps storyline is to Total Recall which makes me suspect hthe man that wrote total recall ripped off space cobra.

 

 

its the future. he is bored, goes to some place where they implant some dreamlike opera where he is a hero in space. it awakens some distant memory where he is really truly a hero in space where he questions whats real n what is a dream.

dudes cmon. this is way too similar to total recall. just the 1st episode.

For the record, Total Recall is based on the Philip K. Dick story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale", which was published in 1966, while Space Adventure COBRA began in 1978.

Never seen COBRA though, will have to try to check it out.

A lot of the script for Total Recall was written right around the same time as COBRA, but went through pre-production hell for the longest time. It took Arnold bailing out the company that held the movie rights out of bankruptcy to get it made.
