The Anime Thread: Finding Good Anime

[Gypsy]

I went to someone on another forum.

[Digi.k]

Finally I can watch both movies now!

The first one is pretty easy to find released by Bandai but the 2nd movie is super hard to get and for a decent price.

So I when I saw both movies being released as a set and cheap I just had to grab that Malaysian release comes in both english and japanese audio.  Love the animation and artwork!

Malaysian release, lol.

[ClodBusted]

Nice bootleg. Let us know about picture quality (or lack thereof) and how much Engrish it contains.

picture quality is exactly the same as the official western bandai release and uses the same assets ie american voice dialogue track

Well it's a DVD, it is digital so assuming they used the same source and didn't re-encode to use single layer discs or something the picture quality wouldn't be suspect.

Well the problem I have is that no one is selling the official US copy for a reasonable price.  It's out of print. there is nothing on Youtube showing the full movie or even something like KODI and I wanted to see the movie with western audio as I have been watching the first movie and TV series all in english and this is the only way I can ever get to watch the 2nd motion picture and now I get sneered at by anime snobs O_o


I can't even feed the malay DVD through a capture device as it says it has HDCP encoding on it.

[Gypsy]

I understand why you bought it, I just thought it was funny that you said Malaysian release instead of bootleg.

Really it's a shame that the situation is what it is. The series and the first movie are so cheap in the aftermarket that I would guess most companies don't see much of a profit in getting the license.

[SignOfZeta]

It's worth $10 to not have to torrent it yourself, especially if it's on a pressed disc. Everyone's got bootlegs. I'm rolling hundreds deep in OG LDs and even I have assloads of bootlegs. 

(I don't generally pay very much, if anything for them however.)

So thought I'd take this thread in new direction. I nothing else to spark a conversation about Anime without the need to a new thread.

-what holes are you currently trying to complete in your anime sets?

-what are some "rare" hard to find anime you are still on the hunt for?

-what are some of your most prized anime VHS/Laser Disk/DVD/Bluerays?

-what are some upcoming anime dvd/blue rays you are looking forwored to picking up?

Thought this would stimulate some conversation and possibly garner attention to something new or old to watch.

-what holes are you currently trying to complete in your anime sets?

There aren't a lot of "holes" persay. I'd really like a DVD of Neo Tokyo or for a US Blu-Ray to come out.

-what are some "rare" hard to find anime you are still on the hunt for?

See above. almost everything else is stuff I "want" but only if it's a really good deal.

-what are some of your most prized anime VHS/Laser Disk/DVD/Bluerays?

I have a handful of movies that haven't been released on DVD or BR in the US that are on laserdisc. Lensman, Twilight of the Cockroaches and Lupin the Third: Gold Babylon are three that come to mind

-what are some upcoming anime dvd/blue rays you are looking forwored to picking up?

Besides some much buy stuff for me (I'm a huge Lupin the third fan) there aren't a lot of super exciting releases that I'm aware of on the horizon.

Inspired by this amazing scratch build superpower: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=10062.855;topicseen

I decided to watch the finale again myself. I watched both the TV series and third movie. These being from the Master Grade Box and the 1998 TV box. It. Was really cool to see how much new animation was really added to the movie version. (A lot). When you don't watch them side by side you don't notice it as much. I usually watch the movies anyway. Also, the 15 sec trailer for this third movie made me want to watch the whole thing again.

After this I decided to keep going so I watched the last ep of Z and ZZ, the last real and a half of Char's Counterattack, and now I'm going for EP 6 of 0080.

Gundam Finalefest 2017.

So far my opinion is that the third movie had the best finale. You really got a cohesive sense of all the shit that was happening at once. The new scenes are in many cases vastly improved or expanded upon. In Zeta the show seems very focused on the heroes, those that are left by the end anyway, and this kind of gives it that fake/superficial X Men vibe where it seems like only cool badasses exist. ZZ has a decent ending but CCA is terrific with all that whispy triply rainbowy Newtype stuff happening all over the place. I'll never understand this movie but I'll always love it. Maybe the best example of hand drawn mecha? Possibly.

-what holes are you currently trying to complete in your anime sets?

For me I am still missing: Robotech Legacy 5/6/8, Planetes 3/4, ROD TV 1/3/4, Magic Knight Rayeart Memorial box 2, Gasaraki 1, Irrisponsable Captian Taylor box set (only have the OVA), full metal alchamest brotherhood part four, Gankutsuou II, V, Lupin the 3rd final haul movie pack,

-what are some "rare" hard to find anime you are still on the hunt for?

I don't really have an answer for this as I dot. Know what's "rare". So let's just say the holes I have are rare to me. As 95% of what I have I buy from used stores.

-what are some of your most prized anime VHS/Laser Disk/DVD/Bluerays?

I'd have to say it's mostly the old stuff that's been re-released. My Lupin the 3rd collection from disco diskotech, big-o blue ray and cowboy bebop and outlaw star.

-what are some upcoming anime dvd/blue rays you are looking forwored to picking up?

I'll be honest so much of the urgent anime I see released is girls with big tits and that's about it.

However I hear good things about one punch man, the next season of attack on Titian. Erased sounds interesting.

I have torrented/seen

Parasite and bought it I liked it so much. Then again I remember reading the Managa when new type USA existed. Death Parade (plan to buy), Pyscho. Honestly I have torrented so much anime it's hard to list. Simply can't own it all on the up and up lol.

[Medic_wheat]

I could have sworn twilight if the cockroaches got a DVD release in NA.

Well I'll be. It's never had a DVD release. Just looked.

I actually have the Final Haul Lupin box. I don't hate it but if you really wanted it I could trade you something for it.

My kid (2) loves Lupin now. I have this weird Cagliostro LD that came out in the late 90s that has two soundtracks 1) the 1992 Streamline dub and 2) music and FX isolated. It also comes with a script so you could dub it yourself if you hate Carl Macek so fucking much.

So anyway, he fell in love with that movie so I got him the Discotek BR, which is amazing, and even has the same 1992 dub on it.

[Gypsy]

-what holes are you currently trying to complete in your anime sets?

I know I still have a few shows where I'm missing 1 or 2 singles. Nothing is a huge hole though, and I have the episodes on an hdd, but still I would like to complete these shows that I enjoyed.

-what are some "rare" hard to find anime you are still on the hunt for?

Hmm, not too much. I just knocked out a few shows I had been trying to track down for years (without breaking the bank) so that was nice. Thank goodness for Madman entertainment who is based in Australia. I got their releases of Nana (really good) and Karin (comedy nonsense). Way cheaper than the US releases usually fetch online.

-what are some of your most prized anime VHS/Laser Disk/DVD/Bluerays?

I'd have to go with my Slayers and Lupin stuff. Some of my favourite anime right there. Also Macross.

-what are some upcoming anime dvd/blue rays you are looking forwored to picking up?

Nothing upcoming but there are a few Discotek releases that are still in print that I'd like to pick up. Probably soon-ish. Mostly old mecha that is seeing its first US release like Dancougar and Giant Gorg. I'm making sure to buy these new, it's not much of a price difference and I want to see more old mecha put out by them. So nothing new, that's for sure.

Do yourself a favour and don't get Robotech. Just get the original stuff. I mean, unless you really want to watch that version for some reason.

[Medic_wheat]

Robotech

That's the funny thing I grew up watching it so I enjoy it. Sure I think everyone be knows it's actually three shows merged into a single show. It's funny how things like this seems to become more enjoyable to some then the original versions. Much like your Mario Bros 2, Transformers made form merged toy lines, and what not.

Considering the two or three box sets I am missing go for $10 or less I plan on picking them up sooner or later.

I agree.


------

Forgive me, for I will rant:

I totally enjoy the RoboTech "hybrid" that we watched.

It is its own, unique experience and perfectly awesome as its own thing.

It has a purpose in this universe, regardless of what purists say.

Purists (let's say "zealots") would want to delete/cleanse the world of a lot of wonderfully unique pop culture: banish all sampling in music! Burn all mash-ups!

We get it!

RoboTech is a bastard!

Well, guess what, I love my little bastard! He's still a part of this family, whether or not his older brothers agree.

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED.

That doesn't mean I don't love the original source material, too.

PRO TIP: You can enjoy RoboTech for what it is. No need to make excuses. You can also have love for the source material. The categories are *not* mutually exclusive, unless you choose to make it that way.

TRIVIA: LEGENDARY AXE II is a friggin' charming game and the fact that it is a "sequel" only *adds* to my enjoyment of *both* games. I know LAII isn't actually a sequel, but life is *way more fun* in the North American mythos were it is a sequel. I actually feel bad for the Japanese folks who see the games as merely "similar" instead of a "series"... yes, I am easily amused. My heart is big, too. Don't hurt me.

I'd say Robotech is clearly worse. Obviously just my opinion but I didn't like how they changed characters around. Southern Cross just sucks so there is that. I greatly prefer the original versions of Macross and Genesis Climber Mospeada.

But I mean if you do want it you might as well go for it. I have a couple lying around I'll double check to see if they are the ones you need. I could just throw them in with your raffle package for you. For free of course.

I really love the way Macek's dubs sounded. I like those voice actors and the shitty compressed sound of his mixer. I still watch "Robotech" once in a while. I wish the people who made dubs now would learn a few things from the old Streamline dubs, as annoying as the "localizations" could be some times.

However as an overall product I'm really just a Macross fan. I have Mospeada and its cool, but its no Macross and Southern Cross is really lame. Making Southern Cross part of Robotech made Southern Cross *slightly* more interesting, but the same process makes Macross worse. Obviously anything "Robotech" other than the shit licensed from Japan is fucking garbage and I hope HG goes out of business as soon as possible. They only make things worse for Macross's actual creators and owners.

As an American kid I only had access to the Robotech version of the show but there was never a time I didn't know it was three shows because I was already buying the model kits before the shows aired. A guy I'd get 'zine style catalogs from hand wrote something like "Macross coming to American TV, check your local listings!" or something like that in the lower margin of one catalog. (In the master, before he photocopied it 100 times). The same one had listings for Gundam, Yamato, Super Police, Crusher Joe, and SFin3D, what is now called Maschinen Krueger. Those catalogs were so fucking exciting! That "Summer '84" logo they used to promote DYRL made me wonder what all that was about but I wouldn't see the movie until my friend joined the army and brought back a pirate VHS of the fucked up English dubbed version. I later learned that this version had already been released in the US years back, I'm pretty sure before Robotech, with some scenes cut out of it as Clash of the Bionoids. My video store didn't have this even though they had a bunch of other FHE anime releases like Harlock, Phoenix, Revenge of the Ninja (Dagger of Kamui) that predated US Renditions or Animeigo, or any of those companies. What a weird chain of events...

I eventually ran into that guy on Facebook and he's really nice. He's into Star Trek and runs SciFi cruises and stuff. I guess the whole model catalog thing happened because he knew a guy in Japan at the time and when he quit being his source that was when the catalogs stopped.

Back then a Gundam model was like $3, and even that was after a huge markup. It was crazy cheap. Kids these days have it rough with these 3800yen MGs. That's fine for the anoraks but what are the poor kids supposed to play with? Plastic models used to be the vastly cheaper alternative to a Chougokin or whatever and one that kinda did a better job of teaching the kid a thing or two...

Lupin the 3rd: Cagliostro no Shirou (Castle of Cagliostro) (1979) [TLL 2473]

My daughter has never seen Lupin....

I am debating going to see this tonight:

https://www.fathomevents.com/events/studio-ghibli-fest-castle-in-the-sky

...because I just went to the Five Doctors (rifftrax) with her and it was so much fun...

Helped me remember why I loved the theatre when I was younger...even though we were watching Dr. Who 4:3

...but, Caligostro isn't at my local theatre (a minute away), so I am being an old person and complaining about having to drive 15 minutes to see Caligostro (I know it sounds so stupid).

Obviously, I posted this hoping it would help me make a decision. As in, just typing I out helped a bit, for starters.

[SignOfZeta]

Cagliostro isn't G rated. It's not early Lupin or anything, he had been almost sanitized even by 1979, but it's not as clean as Totoro. The Count gets smooshed in the end and the death toll is more than zero on the generic thug side. Also, depending on which dub they were showing there may be swearing. Carl Macek's dub is clean, but they will probably not be showing that and the new one is only "clean" if you select it on the DVD.

I don't know why they put actual "swear words" in a movie like this. You can just say "crap" or "darn". Most English profanity has no Japanese equivalent anyway.

Overall it gets a 2 year old hooked pretty quick. The movie opens with a chase, then some credits, then another chase. It's quiet and old fashioned and nothing vomits 200db rainbows onto you like The Secret Life Of Pets which I have to say I'm just about done with watching...

It would be nice if we could ever see US releases of DYRL, Frontier and Delta. Not holding my breath though obviously, and I've already watched them all via the means that I was forced into.

It's a pretty good movie, imo.

I think I'm going to try the Fujiko show and Jigen's Gravestone soon. I've seen almost everything Lupin, but not these. This stuff is near the top of my to buy list, along with a lot of Gundam BDs that RS has put out. Even if they don't benefit greatly from being on BD (they probably don't) the lower disc count is a wonderful boon.

[SignOfZeta]

Have you seen Lupin III: Secret File? That thing is like maximum disc count. It's 37min and shipped as an 8" LD double pack wasting more space than any LD that isn't a promo.

I love it.

Just as a quick note this is waaaaaay more adult oriented than other Lupin shows and movies. So know what you're going into ahead of time.

[xcrement5x]

Continuing my trend of watching stuff that is sure to give Zeta heartburn I've been watching Little Witch Academia recently and it's a cute fun little show.  Netflix is really stepping it up in the anime department, it really makes me wonder if Crunchyroll is going to be able to survive long term going up against Netflix and the Funimation/Sony partnership.

I'm assuming he means Urusei Yatsura, you know, Lummy with the tiger stripe bikini and the horns?

I've love a UY TV box set myself but I think AnimEigo has lost the rights to it.

[johnnykonami]

Yep Urusei Yatsura.  I attempted to collect the Animeigo DVD Box sets back in the late 90's but never completed the set.. if I recall correctly they were $100 bucks per 5 dvd set, I got 3-4 in and stopped because I couldn't keep up.  $40 for like 24 some episodes on blu-ray would be much better, I hope someone can pick it up, it is probably my favorite show.

Beautiful Dreamer is an odd one, I enjoy it on many levels but it's so drastically different than the tone of the TV show that it's kind of hard to get into. I really need to be in a certain type of mindset to watch and enjoy it.
