I wasn't sure about it till about half way but the second half really took off. I want to read at least the first couple of volumes of the manga sometime. I skipped the remaka fully, read that the pacing was complete trash so don't want to waste my time.

They look like dot hack characters and is that a grunty!?

I loved this anime!

Please read it's manga

A Studio Deen Adaptation of Shounen TRASH Both Adaptations cut and rush through mamga content

Comic Book Guy (The Simpsons): Worst Korean animated movie ever.

Alright you got me intrigued, would you rather recommend the Manga or the Anime Adaptation? May be BOTH!

This looks like one that Animax would air in their retro segment on late 00s/early 10s.

90s animation was peak for me.

Bob have you ever done a review on speed grapher

classic vintage 90s art style & screen atmosphere, looks good another gem i missed back in the day

I might look into this show since it's a complete experience. Does look like something charming. As for Soul Eater, I'm oddly enough planning to watch again somewhere down the line, I remember sort of just not caring for it but I might appreciate that series more in some ways now. I remember the ending being bad but now apparently vidicated by history has kicked in and some are saying the anime's ending is better than the manga. That is pretty funny.

Yooooooo! These is one of the anime that got me it too watching anime! This and Gate Keeper and Gate Keeper 21 and Banner of the Stars!

Think you'll ever do a video review of Project ARMS? Or is Copyright still an issue?

Bravo, you continue to impress me. Houshin Engi is awesome!

If you're curious about the Houshin Engi remake, I forgot to mention it but I tried it, and it felt like a rushed mess. Blasted past important manga content, I liked the art and aesthetic of the 1999 version better also.

Soul Hunter was the first anime that made me into a anime fan, the first anime that make me want to see other anime, basically my starting point.

Houshin Engi one my favorite Shonen jump series of all time

god damn, you took me way back with Flame of Recca. Another anime im dying to see a remake of is Legend of Basara. its a 10/10 but the anime barely covers the entire manga.

Golion was very episodic in the beginning and there were a few plot holes. But it was overall a fun anime and very different from anime I was used to. I agree with the artwork asthetic , whenever someone dramatic happens the color scheme changes and everything either goes dark or turns red and I say in animation this dramatic changes in color adds to tension and danger.

thanks a lot!!! Such a great work! Long life yokai!

I loved Macross Frontier back when it aired. First and only Macross I've seen. Never new the original SDF series was the same director as LoGH though. I'll check that out.

The first sentence is very confusing. “You’re probably wondering why I’ve been watching 60s anime” …??? What am I missing here? Why would anyone be confused by that? Should you *not* be watching 60s anime..? Is there a stigma around it? What even was that sentence 🤨😂

My Crunchroll subscription expired before the final episodes, so now, almost a year later, I finally finished this anime. Wow! I remembered enjoying the earlier episodes but the last few seemed like a different series. I had thought it might go on for more episodes, but was stunned at the bizarre ending. I have forgotten enough that I am now skimming back through the earlier episodes just to refresh my memory.

Kind of sucks that Harmony Gold is holding on to the rights so tightly they could turn coal into diamond.

I have been looking to watch this but can only find the 2019 one.

Bob looking drippy as usual. I wouldn't worry about A.I. voice actors it's not going to take over. I'll just stick to my manga if by any chance it does happen but I highly doubt it.

Aachi Vs Ssipak is superior to most of these movies and is equal to tekkonkinkreet. Appleseed is also an unbelievable CGI movie. Heavy metal. Lord of the rings. Scanner darkly

I’ve watched this anime twice. Loved it both times.

I really have never been able to get into anime except for Voltron and c'mon it was just a cool toy/kids cartoon show for me. But I loved it. Now I think I may give this a try. Even though I can't, for whatever reason, get into anime. I'll give it a shot though.

I prefer SDF Macross and also Macross 7

1.50 -Christian nodal could 😂😂😂(I dislike Christian nodal)

"For whatever reason"? The alternative retellings of Macross are actual retellings WITHIN the series - they are fictional media pieces within the world of Macross recreating historical events with potential exaggerations and variation of events to explore alternate themes, character motivations or simply to heighten drama. For example, showing what would happen if certain side characters did/didn't die or exploring how romances would have ended up had certain events transpired differently. They aren't necessary to understand the basic character and story, no, but if you enjoy those characters and stories they're incredibly fun, often including a boosted animation budget and new music as well as serving as a nice way to conveniently recap major events if needed (as a film is easier to watch in a day than an entire season). The only exception is Macross Δ Movie: Absolute Live!!!!!! which serves as a direct sequel and brings the Delta/Freyja story to an end. It's the only anime I've seen where the events on screen are not actual historical events nor the subjective viewpoint of a specific character, but rather a canon of fictional media retelling the general idea of history within the world that history took place in, emphasizing the themes and repetition of wars, love triangles and the power of culture and emotional connections (source; Kawamori Shoji interview 1998)

Heat Guy J is so so underrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a mint condition hard copy , retail disc CD of the Neo Toyo 1987 anime soundtrack. It was very expensive and extremely rare. I would be willing to share it if anyone is interested. If you are please contact me.

leave flame of Recca alone watch they'll make 1 of th m trans🥴🥴🥴

petshop of horrors is not a movie, and this needs a reboot

Have you done a review of M.A.P.S.? There’s another anime I had watched within the last 10yrs about a man and woman cop team up and definitely needed more seasons. It’s anime that’s great and you get mad that they didn’t make more episodes. The woman has special abilities and is very dangerous. It would be great if I can remember the name of the anime or characters because I’d watch it again.

✅

i just finished this anime today i actually liked it and can see the influence in had on naruto and other animanga

Naruto is peak

Perfect blue deserves teh number 1

The manga was cool and all and I was hanging out in snoopycool's irc channel on rizon back in the day to recieve it steaming fresh, but at this point what is the point? It's not like it is Rurouni Kenshin that influenced a generation. It was just a competent tournament shounen. Would be good to have a game that tells the entire manga story though.

It’s the Love carrying the true power in the universe. I didn’t understand that when I first watched it at 8yr old, but still deeply attracted to this animation. I bought all the albums of Fire Bomber, and went to Fukuyama’s live concert. Now I’m 41, realizing that it’s not because of the music healing the wounds, but also knowing Love is the only principle in the universe.

I was young when I discovered this I find it to be a treasure and underrated. It’s how I learn more about some classic books through their plays like Helen Keller and Withering Heights (I think) I love the drama and the plot and how it’s not always easy for our protagonist and has went through many high and lows in her life as a pre-teen. She is so dedicated, determined and resilient.

Found this one on Crunchyroll when I was looking for a "so bad it's good" series. Even with those expectations I had to drop it.I gave it as much of a try as I could though.

Good to hear from you, Bob

hmmm both of them are not resurrected

Good review,Bob!

BOB! :D
