  1. Hellsing Ultimate wasn't really grim in tone, though. It was a brutal over-the-top spectacle of violence to the point of self-parody, and it was well aware of that fact, because it did everything with a wink and a nod.
  2. You people can make up a reason to bitch about anything, can't you?
  3. The block has had awkward tonal transitions between series since 2001. This would be no different.
  4. There's no such thing as a "Toonami show" beyond action-oriented animation. And Primal absolutely fits that, just as the final season of Samurai Jack did.
  5. But is there a Tim Curry cameo?!
  6. Jman once again waving his hateboner for Western properties that literally no one else on the planet gives a shit about either way besides him.
  7. Yeah, it's absolutely BONES. They have a long track record of really solid adaptations, including frequently making changes that wind up benefiting the source material. The thing is, David Production has also done a legendary job on JoJo, but the staff they have on this one is definitely not as talented. I still like the show as a whole, but the pacing is frequently very abrupt and wonky, almost as if they're just going straight panel-to-panel in the manga. And the "fanservice" is...yeeeeaaaah.
  8. Fuck every goddamn thing about this year.
  9. The OP totally slaps.
  10. But yes, it's a lot of fun. There's a baseball-themed episode directed by Imaishi that's just full Imaishi.
  11. Between it and Beastars I've lost the fight against animal people. Watch it and embrace your inner furry. (Well honestly it was mostly Carrot's fault. Goddammit Oda.)
  12. ↑ importer/exporter
  13. https://www.amazon.com/OLD-ROW-Drive-Fast-Black/dp/B07YFFW546
  14. This makes RWBY look like Pixar.
  15. One of the worst things I've ever seen on [as], and historically I've liked a lot of their more out-there series. I didn't even understand what the hell it was trying to do. Like, is it meant to be an anime parody? Because it's not. At all. Ballmastrz had many explicit anime references (including some deep cuts) and captured the overall shounen anime tone very well. Perfect Hair Forever was more of a broader anime parody, and honestly poked just as much fun at Williams Street themselves. But this...this is incoherent nonsense. I tried giving it my honest attention for a few minutes but just couldn't do it. Even the voicework was painful.
  16. I've watched and laughed at a lot of the absurdist stuff [as] has aired over the years. I thought OzMo was genius and Perfect Hair Forever was hilarious. I got a kick out of Ballmastrz, which oozed style. This...what the fuck was this? It was painful. I struggled through the first few minutes and had to bail. It looks horrendous, and the voicework was atrocious.
  17. Her IMDB page shows her not doing any anime roles since 2006, and her only voice work of any kind since then is an Italian-made children's series that was released in Canada in the early 2010s. Even then it looks like her role was recast some way into the series. It's hardly a stretch to assume she isn't acting anymore.
  18. As if I wasn't chugging enough Tums right now...
  19. Moneca Stori retired from VA work years ago, which is why she wasn't in Final Act and isn't in this.
  20. Australia is in many ways just as conservative and reactionary as the United States, and in certain ways even more so. Hell, we even managed to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide before they did.
