Anime, Manga, and Light Novel Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (May 17, 2024)
Last week was... a week. Last Sunday and Monday were pretty normal. My husband and I returned to the other side of the state and helped my Dad get more cleaned out of his house. But everything changed late last Tuesday morning, when my husband got a call from my brother-in-law, saying my father-in-law had an incident earlier that morning and was in the emergency room.
As a fan of big robots, I've wanted to get into Gundam for a long time now, but none of the series have really gripped me in a way that made me go "This. I love this".
Recently I watched Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury... and then immediately began rewatching it.
This is it. This is my show. You can't have it. Mine.
It's not perfect, and I would have liked a little more story outside of the school setting, but I love the characters, their stories, and it has some of the coolest mech fights I've ever seen animated.
I'm very sure that the actual Japanese language names aren't the one used here, but the translation team were obviously having far too much fun with the horse names in this sequence. #anime #ASaladBowlOfEccentrics
"Magic Moon" - Der 14. Captain-Future-Roman gehört zu denjenigen Erzählungen, die bislang nicht ins Deutsche übersetzt worden sind - dafür aber wurde er als Animé-Episode verfilmt (Titel: "Die Rolle seines Lebens")...
Fini de revoir Ao buta, et c'était à peu près comme dans mes souvenirs. Très sympa à suivre dans ses histoires et thèmes, mais manquant un peu d'approfondissement et d'un quelque chose pour marquer et vraiment se démarquer de ses modèles. A voir les nouveaux films. #anime
I wonder, are dubs licensed differently compared to the original Japanese cast on Anime shows? Like I have found a few shows now on HIDIVE that have English dubs and the same show are on Crunchy Roll but with no dubs, or is Crunchy Roll just dropping the ball here?
Netflix Announces That the Terminator Zero Anime Is Scheduled to Premiere Worldwide on August 29, 2024
Netflix has announced that Skydance Animation and Production I.G's Terminator Zero, the anime series based on the Terminator film franchise, is scheduled to premiere worldwide on the service on August 29, 2024.
Jellyfish was so great last weekend… doing an episode centered in Kano and her relationship with her mother but based only on her emotional reactions to Miiko and her daughter was a great narrative choice #anime#jellyfishcantswiminthenight
I am absolutely shocked that Ruka is handled as well as she is in #SteinsGate. The story was written in 2009 and the #anime came out in 2011.
Don't get me wrong, it's quite cringe by today's standards but a character directly saying "I think I was supposed to be a girl" then using time travel to try to get her mom to eat something different while pregnant is a very raw emotional beat even if the other characters are dismissive, insulting, and fetishizing her.
So I checked in to this hotel, where I booked the cheapest room, and they initially double upgraded me (highest tier member), then later updated it to a 5x upgrade to a Junior Suite with a private pool. :ablobcatreachflip:
Also added a free bottle of sparkling wine and restaurant cocktail vouchers. :meow_wine:
So my working theory is that there's a few conferences and events going on that they overbooked, so they upgraded their members so they could have more of the cheaper rooms block booked for the event.
Never got a flower bouquet for a suite room before, but I have gotten the champagne (sparkling wine, not the Champagne with the capital C), fruits, and the welcome drink every time I've been (upgraded) in a suite.
If you're feeling rich, and have easy access to multiple GHA Discovery sub-brands, staying at least 1 night at a minimum of 3 different sub-brands grants instant TITANIUM membership (max lvl), that gives a minimum of 2-tiers of room upgrades (if available).
I'm halfway into #KemonoNoSoujaErin, and it's such a fantastic #anime. Honestly, I think it's just as good as #SeireiNoMoribito. The visuals are relatively simple, but not in a bad way, and the backgrounds are actually kind of... aesthetically unique? Like, you can tell it's probably not a high-budget series, but the buildings, for example, are interesting to look at. They're somewhat roughly drawn, but it's a very... clever and artistic kind of roughness? Er, I'm not sure how to explain it.
Dear lazyweb, I'm looking for a #mecha#anime that I saw once a few scenes of. What I remember is that it was one of those more "realistic" ones (tacticool) like Patlabor or Madox, not colorful, and that there were scenes of a Kabuki dancer with a mask, a mane of red hair, and a fan performing some sort of a summoning ritual. The dancer looked a lot like Senryo Kyoshiro from Samurai Showdown. Any ideas?
