I feel weird in that I'm having trouble starting Sailor Moon because I actually like to watch the DiC version. Especially the transformation music



Clearly they sacrificed their drawing talent for acting talent. Sometimes.

Problem is DiC so badly burchered episode 45 and 46 that they cut BOTH episodes down into a heavily censored 22 minute abomination.
Watch the show uncut with subs. Fuck that dub.
 
Whisper of the Heart
Porco Rosso
Kiki

Another vote for Whisper of the Heart but of course you can't go wrong with any. I tend to rewatch Kiki's the most because the disney dub has Phil Hartman as a cat! Also watch the Cat Returns after whispers if you get the chance, not as good as the three listed but it features more cat! Ghibli cats are awesome.

- Ever thought about or attempted to leave forever? This show will make you feel real bad about that.
- Cool grandma is gonna cool grandma but
this is gonna change somewhere down the road isn't it?
- Love the bite size episodes, doesn't feel like it loses the elaborateness of typical hour long dramas either
- So far there's some narration and "have feels now" music which is understandable for 15 minute episodes. Because I like the show I'll just be in denial and see it as being direct rather than cheap.

I was just going to do some quick thoughts but kept expanding them and now I'm too lazy to make a paragraph out of it. Yay misuse of lists!

Other episodes cut:

2 Where Umino becomes gangsta
5 With the creepy pets
6 With Ikuhara and Norio Wakamoto
20 The filler ep.
42 The Minako ep

Also, s1 transformation music might not be to everyone's taste, but R transformation music is certainly better than the dub.

You people are making me want to pick up Casshern Sins
Huge improvement.

That's your impression of everything.
That's also the correct impression.

Because they want to do relays I guess and sports clubs are usually always segregated by gender.
But she's actually part of the club.

I had a flick through the first volume of the Crime Edge BD's and they got rid of the crappy filters they'd turn on for the battles and the more gruesome bits (so now the blood's actually red instead of brown), the censorship, and they even added all this blood spraying everywhere now. Huge improvement.
I was thinking about starting this. I guess I can wait.

Oh it's time for HentaiGAF again? Neat.
I've been posting impressions up until a couple of days ago!
It never went awaY!

the most intense piece of black parchment ever
But it's white.

I still want to see it if only for Cam Clarke.

So they butchered an already mediocre adaptation?

God damn.
It's not really an adaptation considering Miyazaki was working on the film while working on the manga and the second chapter of the manga where the movie ends came after the film.
The film wasn't really based on the manga.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I just want you guys to know that I'm swearing at you in my head all the time.

Also I'm insecure.

Having crippling social anxiety doesn't seem bad to you?

I already had to deal with my own version of it.
it made me a stronger person. I used to not be able to look people in the eyes or talk on a phone. But I never resented it or felt jealous of others. I just lived with it and accepted the challenge. Eventually grew out of it and became how I am now which is pretty much an extrovert. Ive always been aware of myself and accepted myself as is.
so while I shared some traits with Tomoko I never really was at a point where I could identify with how she is.

One thing that really helped me was that I never ever gave a flying fuck about peer pressure. I stayed out of a lot of trouble because of it.

Good for you!

If you guys knew even half the stuff I'm dealing with right now, you'd be surprised that I can post so competently and easily.
 
A lot of you guys would feel a lot more positive about Watamote if you thought of it as a coming of age story. The part establishing her issues before she overcomes things just might be really really really long.

Reason?
Its similar to many eps in SAC (very textbook actually) those are terrible too then.

Tow Ubukata.

Terrible story.

Terrible voice cast changes.

Terrible soundtrack.

Terrrible Motoko redesign.

Terrible idea overall.

On the plus side, it has decent action cuts here and there. And Moechikoma.

Also, not every episode of SAC was a winner so I'm okay with claiming some of those as pretty terrible too.

What hit me hard about Watamote is probably mangaka only making shit as hard as she can and yet its hit me.. so I got hit by shitty imagination, sucks..

Eh can't see it.. Like I said its textbook SAC story, so I dunno.

Voice acting more or less is same only without solid snake.

If you ever wanna just talk, shoot me a pm.
im happy to listen.
Sometimes the best way to deal with social anxiety is to just realize that hardly anyone knows what the fuck they are doing. As you get older you realize it more and more. The vast majority of people are just blowing around in the tornado of life clinging to whatever they feel comfortable with but if you hold onto others it makes things a million times easier.
reach out to someone and it could be the greatest thing youve ever done.

I think the rest of us prefer ahegao in "other contexts".

It's worse when you're an extreme introvert and incapable of enjoying yourself in social situations that don't involve people with a very narrow selection of personality types, despite going through denial and having optimistic thoughts immediately followed by a thought saying "don't get your hopes up".
 
Pacific Rim

Holy fuck. I was wrong. So so wrong.

Rebuild is utter shit compared to this. Was surprised how much was common with Eva, this is basically the live action Eva film we never wanted but should of. Oh and I was also wrong the the mechs. They look pretty cool after all especially the Japanese one lol.

Dat Hong Kong fight. Sogood.
