Just an update on the Netflix/Ajin thing I posted about before. I've compared both Japanese and Netflix copies and it's thankfully just Episode 4 that's the problem (Cut a cold open from their copy.) If you're interested in letting Netflix know and making sure this doesn't happen with Season 2 coming in just a few weeks you can report it through Netflix's account system. Just go to your profile setting, hit viewing activity and click "Report a Problem." I imagine the more reports the faster it'll get on their radar.

Also, I hate doing this, but if you want to know what I'm talking about I wrote a post on my website about it here: http://www.allyouranime.net/ajin-an...de-4-or-how-netflixs-copy-is-missing-footage/

Neat. Thanks for the heads up. Hope they fix this.

YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THROUGH WITH TIMEY-WIMEY SHENANIGANS

YOU WERE WRONG
 
So the new Cyborg 009 film doesn't...look great...

Other preview.

I didn't watch the last movie, but I remember thinking it looked ok for a CG flick.

With the way people responded I was expecting something awful, but that wasn't too bad, I would watch it.

Hopefully though the story is easier to understand this time, the last movie had me completely lost a bunch of times.

Of course it could/should have been better, especially considering it's a movie.

Fairy Tale ep.69
Lots of good comedy for most of the episode as the guild brings in two new members and celebrates. Well, then it all goes downhill for Natsu & crew already.. Didn't even get a full episode devoid of conflict.

Thus a new arc with new villians begins.

Speaking of bad background art and looking mediocre, I saw the new LWA trailer.

hmmm

It really does look like Budget LWA. It's not just the backgrounds but things like the character design and coloring. Why did Yoshinari not do the character designs again? Why?

I would imagine Yoshinari felt handling all the designs himself in addition to directing the show would be more than he would be able to handle. The effects animation still looks great, at least.

You just have to remember the mantra: "Anime: Just Keep Your Expectations Low"

I like to let the work itself set my expectations, if possible.

What compounds the issue is that the TV series is going over some of the exact same scenes as the OVA series did, so there's a direct comparison for a number of shots. Shiny Chariot looks like she hit hard times.
 
I try not to have any expectations in anything, and live in a constant state of confusion and ignorance.

Also, Goku looks good in a suit.

Vegeta looks like Vegeta.

Awesome

What about Garo: Crimson Moon? Should I check that out down the line or nah

It's a completely different series by different staff and has no link to the story and world of the first series and this movie. The way they use Garo in these shows is kinda like Gundam shows these days, where it's a concept and iconic base design, but every series is a different interpretation.

Nah. Garo the Animation and this film, Garo: Divine Flame, are both directed by Yuichiro Hayashi and have the same main creative staff underneath him. Crimson Moon has an entirely different staff doing an entirely different story with entirely different characters (albeit with many of the same voice actors for some reason), and it's worlds weaker.

Pokemon Sun & Moon 04

Ash gets beaten up by a Magikarp in this episode. What a loser.
This was episode five, the last two weeks were two ep specials.

Dunno what to say, dood, if you're looking for Shonen Hero XYZ Ash you're looking in the wrong place, him getting punted to sea by that Milotic mid-Lillie help attempt kinda made the writer's intent clear (and I freaking lost it laughing too).

On a even more brighter note;

Pokemon Sun & Moon 05
That fucking Bewear stole it. And that was even in the face of a strong Lana game complete with Shipping (which I thought the writers would have been smart enough to leave well enough alone after how that all went down in XYZ but whatevs), Popplio and going full Yanders on Team Rocket.

Hahahahahahaha, the Eva lawsuit news actually got a reaction out of Khara: http://www.khara.co.jp/2016/12/02/本日の一部報道について/

They put out a notice to clarify that there is "news circulating today that incorrectly states that Hideki Anno has filed a lawsuit" and states that "Khara as a corporation has filed a lawsuit" instead. Apparently it is very important to them to make it clear that Anno himself did not personally sue Gainax. Roflmao.

YES YES YES

Notwithstanding whatever happens at the end that everyone hates so much, these last two episodes were a return to form in pretty much every regard and especially animation.

Now if only they'd just shut up about Black Star's path of warrior/demon...

Well, Gainax had a good run I guess.

Okay found an actual news source.

http://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/12363313/

Apparently they're only suing Gainax to recover 100 million yen. That's like, a million bucks. I guess it might be enough to sink Gainax if they don't even have that much to pay, but... considering their properties over the years, you would think that's not a large sum of money when we're talking about paying royalties and stuff. Lol.

Did Anno have some inherent rights to EVA from the beginning ? Cause if Gainax just sold it to Khara at some point that's just a dismal decision surely.

If Gainax had the cashflow to pay those royalties then I imagine they would have paid those bills when they were due. That it's gotten to the stage where Khara are suing them I would imagine that Gainax are very, very overdue in paying their bills. It's possible that Gainax just don't have enough coming in to pay.

I mean, the only other scenario is that for some reason they have the money but aren't paying it out? That doesn't make much sense.

ummmm. a 13 year time skip? that came out of no where. I was hoping to see more of how majime's relationship with kaguya goes. They don't even show the beginning steps. They skip straight to married and aged. I like the ep but i don't applaud the time skip. New character is good.

The funniest thing about this going all
Gurren Lagann
is that they explicitly mocked this concept a long while ago.

Like I said before, really glad this avoided the trope of good guys/government actually turning out to be bad guys.
