MasqueradeOverture

Saw Macross Plus last night at my AMC. It was hot, but I will say I like the OVA more (which is hard for me to say given the extra eye explosions and titties in the movie). It looked like Fathom used an upscaled SD version because it was really blurry / had NTSC black levels so I'm guessing no-one has the Blu-ray release rights here yet, but in due time (I will buy the shit out of that when it drops). I missed the little "Intro To Macross" featurette at beginning though. Walked in right as the movie was starting.

Gin, can you not kill every thread you walk into? Thnx

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jfc owl.

Sensory sensitivity... Delayed eye contact...

Haha Funimation got thrown off the table. Who knew conglomerate mergers would kill beloved institutions, eh?

It dies

Even more of a reason to never recommend this thing to anybody.

To be fair, these are not the most "culturally aware" people. I.E. people from Jersey fucking suck.

I was afraid this would happen. After years of hearing my Bebop praise (not unprovoked, usually when the topic of the foreign entity that is anime is questioned towards my direction by these gentlemen); two of my buddies, separately, on their own volition decided to check out the live action version. They noped out before finishing the 1st episode. On top of this, I was informed of their new life's mission to never come in contact with the original or anything else remotely connected to anime ever again. I understand the live-action has brought the show back into conversation and thus new exposure, but I was weary of this side effect.

The problem with these adaptations is they totally misunderstand the tone. Obviously it's not supposed to be 1:1 because that will cause fuck-ups (see Ed), but at the same time' why is this written/directed like Scott Pilgrim when in reality Bebop is more Wong Kar-wai? Even if that was an intentional creative deviation, it doesn't excuse the sub-CW level writing/lighting/cinematography/costuming.
