The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime

[xelement5x]

I voted on the ideas, but admittedly there was only so much in the budget to work with, plus issues with licensing and printing.  We did get nice digital copies of a lot of art and stuff provided, but most people forget about them because it was digital only. 

I think one of the largest issues was with weight.  In the US shipping books and stuff is cheap, but going internationally anything over 1lb starts inflating the shipping cost like CRAZY apparently.   I do think that the owner has gotten a lot better on this run with OnV though.  I would just keep the items if I were you, I doubt you would get much for them online unless the stars were in alignment.

Agreed, you guys are correct. Thanks for explaining the situation to me. Sorry for my rant.

man I still have the originals Bubblegum Crisis on VHS.... I just don't have a video player anymore...

The Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 I didn't like that much and I can't remember why exactly as it's been years since I imported the box set from US soil.

I still got the japanese music CD

[ClodBuster]

I think I've got it on tape as well, recorded from TV in the late 90s/early 00s. Good times.

Since my old VCR broke down, I got me a cheap used SVHS recorder from Panasonic that in all honesty rarely ever gets use nowadays apart from collecting dust in the TV rack.

Ah, that music CD, got that as well from a local import store in 2003. Back then when they still imported game soundtracks and old school anime music. Today, they're left with Korean and Japanese Pop/Rock music CDs. Got one or two Ayumi Hamasaki CDs as well from them.

About BGC 2040, I think you might haven't bothered with it so much because of its hideous character design and the lame music. At least this is why I stayed away from it without even having seen a single episode, so please don't count my opinion as universal.

It lacks the charm, attention to quality character design, music and animation that the original had.

Yeah, f*ck that other show. It looks OK but it was one of those things where the rights holders moved while the actual tallent was not involved. It's also TV so...way way too long.

currently watching through Evangelion 3.33 and I'm like Wut da fuq!!!!!!!

Comparing to the original TV series this is completely different ..

[Medic_wheat]

This fan trailer makes me want to rewatch the original series.

Sadly I do not have them. But I do have the two movies that replaced its tv ending.

I just got sucked into the PSO2 animation on Crunchyroll. Was bored so watched a few episodes. Didn't expect it but I couldn't stop watching.

Love the original Bubblegum Crisis, especially the soundtrack. BC 2040 was nearly as good for me and I think part of it had to do with the music. The original set the bar so high.

My daughter and I (6th grade) really enjoyed it.

I'm ordering the jumbo-sized manga reprint/collection as we speak.

We also really enjoyed Tokyo Ghoul and Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

I'm a sucker for the jumbo size. In the early 80's, my parents let me buy tons of comics from garage sales and I got TONS of these friggin HUGE JUMBO-SIZED comics (reprints and collections).

Volume 3 won't be released until Sept. 16, 2016...
