So, the Macross Delta special is out and well... it's ballsy, it's kind of flat out bananas, I felt nostalgic, I laughed, I got excited, I felt wowed, then I cringed, boy did I cringe, I scratched my head and then I felt awe.
We didn't see much of the cast so far, Freyja is excitable as expected, i think the actress is doing a good job, even if that personality type might not be for everyone, the main guy Hayate is someone that isn't exactly in love with life or has any particular passion, kind of a change from the usual role, and we got a Jenius in the cast. Valkyrie sequences are pretty great, the CG isn't amazing but in motion it works, there is some neat tech upgrades for the mechs without feeling too much a of a jump from Frontier, and it seems we'll have lots of Fighter vs Fighter sequences which isn't exactly common in Macross. Then we have Walkure... boy was that over the top. In fact it seems they intentionally raised it to 11 for shock value, since afterwards we got a regular fight sequence, I'm not crazy about the idols jumping around in the battle but they have room to hopefully explain that, Walkure is super showy and it oozes style, and will definitely be the most controversial aspect. I had fun, I assumed from early on that this would be to Frontier what 7 was to the original, and it definitely seems to be the case, so expect some degree of crazyness. |

The Devilman OVA's dubs are awful even from Manga Entertainment. Manga Entertainment is known for so bad it's good type of dubs. The two Devilman OVA"s from the late 80's are pretty faithful adaptions of the first part of the manga. Some of the changes didn't bother me that much.

Anyone know a place besides youtube to find the full versions of Anime Openings? I'm only finding weird versions there.

Just finished Spice and Wolf the other night, it was excellent. Very unique fantasy setting that focused heavily on economics, which is not something you see very often. The main draw though was the chemistry and dynamic between the two leads, it did a great job of not falling into the usual cliches that you would expect from romance in anime. Their interactions and dialogue just felt so natural, even though the story itself could be a little slow at times it didn't even matter. Just watching their interactions and seeing how naturally their relationship developed was worth it in and of itself.
This show is absolutely the model other anime should look to for how to successfully portray a meaningful relationship between two well-developed and likable characters.

Ayane's High Kick - I never saw this anime before. I remember seeing a ad for it at a local Sam Gody as a kid back in the late 90's. Now almost 20 years later, I got the chance to sit down and watch it. While it's nowhere as good as Hajime no Ippo or Baki the Grappler, I still find it to be a enjoyable anime. The animation was good, the soundtrack was great and the anime had fun characters. My biggest issue with this game is that it's way too short. It's only two episodes and I really did want to see what happens next. The final episode ends with a cliffhanger and we never knows on what happens next. Not to mention the final battle feels very anticlimactic. There was a lot of build up to the final boxing match and it just ends poorly without spoiling too much way. The dub is alright. It’s nothing special, but nothing awful. Better then what most of Central Park Media dubbed around that time.
This anime feels like a pilot anime to lead up to more episodes which did not happen. Had this been a 8 episode OVA series or 25 episode TV series then I would give it a much higher rating. If you are into sports anime then you may like this anime. Grade: C+ Last edited by Guyver Spawn; 01-09-2016 at 01:43 AM.. |
