ssss SSSS.Gridman Episode 1 "Awakening" Discussion
Jman replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Evangelion took a ton of its cues from Ultraman, which this show is a look at. Anno is actually directing a movie adaptation of it called Shin Ultraman, similar to Shin Godzilla, because he’s a fan. Granted the lawsuit has kept Ultra stuff mostly off these shores until a few years back with the manga, Netflix series, and Youtube channel episodes, but Ultraman was on US television in the 60’s and Turner aired Ultraman and Ultraseven on TNT. It’s not an Evangelion ripoff like the US tends to think...everything is.- 195 replies

ssss SSSS.Gridman Episode 1 "Awakening" Discussion
Jman replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
Its American remake was actually fairly popular in its day. They just stopped because they ran out of toku footage. Also the main villain is deliberately channeling Tim Curry from that dub.- 195 replies

There’s quite a difference between “this offends me REEEEEE” and “this somehow slipped past quality control and will likely lead Sony to killing the Crunchyroll Originals line. For one, the latter is a lot more fun for everyone as long as you didn’t work on the show.
-
First episode is out today. It may single handedly kill the CR originals line.

Netflix would be bragging about it all the live long day as soon as it was official, as they’re want to do. They announce shows as soon as contracts get signed from what I see.
-
To be fair, the Columbia was destroyed after the episode was made. It turns into a bit of a sadder moment than it was meant to be.
-
Well there’s going to be more original content this year. Whether it’s any good is another matter.

Netflix is making a live action Yu Yu Hakusho. Because of course they are

Name value. That and getting a sitcom/SOL premise launched is way easier. -
Looks like Sentai bagged it. Gentlemen, start your Tweeting.

Gemusetto death beats to end on december 19th
Jman replied to CountFrylock's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
DeMarco delayed Gridman for his buddy’s unpopular, unfunny show. That’s a great way to start the new year. -
Best - FINALLY airing The Dark Knight Returns, announcing a Shenmue anime of all things, keeping themselves alive during a pandemic. Worst - Gemuseto Death Beats.
-
Gargoyles had every TNG actor besides Patrick Stewart. No idea if they got them in bulk or not.

These are both pretty good, New Frontier’s story is classic, Bloodlines is well...more Wondy, but well written (also has Michael Dorn, AKA Worf in a role).

I would say that they’re trying to force the issue for views since it’s a lower tier studio, but considering how certain sites reacted (ANN had a whole spiel about how the show was gross, warned anyone who thought it would be funny in a trainwreck kind of way, etc), it’s doing the work for them. I don’t know what else to say, that even this product, if it is wholly without merit, will keep getting attention because of folks who are angry at it.
