Could *Insert shitty show here* be headed to Toonami?
Jman replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Proving that gen:Lock isn’t anime. Also even the author hated the anime.- 396 replies

Anyone watch Sturgill Simpson Sound and Fury on Netflix?
Jman replied to Lytbryt's topic in Anime & Manga
I saw it. Interesting visualization of the album. Same people who did Batman Ninja. -
Sound and Fury, which is essentially someone doing the Interstella 5555 thing.

If cost cutting and co-promotion is the name of the game, then honestly, Shield Hero and Konosuba are easy choices. Crunchyroll is part of the committees. Hell, Shield Hero getting two new seasons was the biggest news out of their own convention. And neither went over budget or got accused of its creator stealing money from other productions. SAO is inevitable but at least the live action is MIA.

think of how many anime/manga ideas never got published
Jman replied to Shiina's topic in Anime & Manga
There are thousands of scripts like that, original ideas, adaptations, ideas that get pitched to editors and shot down on a daily basis only to find new life somewhere else. I mean, at one point someone in Hollywood optioned a live action Ranma 1/2. Just...think about that. Think of how many scripts pass by an executive’s door. -
I hope this dumb community is happy. The American Bar Association has weighed in and thinks the Pro Vic crowd are all idiots.

It’s decent but it can get a bit annoying with the author’s penchant for really dragging out points that could have been dealt with in one episode rather than four. Still pretty fun and they’re apparently gonna announce Season 3 at NYCC.

gundam Gundam: The Origin Episode 12 Discussion
Jman replied to OwlChemist81's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
It’s a retcon I don’t like admittedly, that it was a false flag operation to keep the war going and allow Zeon to attempt to topple the Federation government completely.- 59 replies

So that was gen:Lock, or as Mochi and others have called it, gen:ERIC. And it is a wonderful example of ambition exceeding grasp of a studio, with a lot of behind the scenes drama that would never have occurred had the ambition of the series not been so grandiose. Actors with several Emmy and Oscar nominations between them, plans for a tie-in comic, and who knows what else? The problem is, barring all the behind the scenes horror stories, barring all the other drama, what we really have is a generic real robot show that when compared against the prequel to Gundam The Origin shows just how flat and boring Western attempts at the genre pale to their Eastern counterparts. In eight episodes we know Jack crap about the Union, their motivations, why war was declared, something that the Origin manga answered in its prologue. We have...Rooster Teeth’s usual QUALITY. Here’s an idea, instead of going out of your way to hire Arya Stark, look at how the Japanese have made CG animation work. There was no reason not to invest your money in that and hire the usual VA pool instead of getting Killmonger. So we don’t know anything about the world, the animation is ass, and the celebrity voice cast wasn’t even advertised save some vague statements. David Tenant is acting his ass off as per usual but everyone else doesn’t have two craps to give about this animu crap. The end result isn’t incompetent. It’s just thoroughly mediocre and was blown up into something it was never meant to be. And the writers performed the classic screw up of saving explanations for a second season that will never be made.
