Why the hell is shounen battle anime so consistantly fucking regressive when it comes to female protaganists?
I don't even mean in terms sexualization,when I comes to that I dont really care. But why for the love of god are female protagonists all worthless tokens every single time?
I mean they have literaly zero bearing on the plot whatsoever, and the show does not even use them for fanservice. The most they ever get is one fucking girl power episode within the entire 3 Trillion Episode run of the series and they go back to being a complete non-factor. They aren't there to draw in the female demographic either so what is the point?
Why does japan do this?
calm down anita

Is there any anime in there?
someone rides the motorcycle from akira
fuck you
for real
no I said 🖕you for spoiling it😡
do you want to know how they justify having the iron giant, or are you actually planning on seeing it yourself
II'm not. Lemme hear it.
Spoiler
so there's a guy (who is later revealed to be a girl; her avatar is a big brutish male character, though) who is good with technology and stuff, likes building things

one of the things she builds is a fully autonomous iron giant-looking thing

so it's not like it's the ACTUAL iron giant or anything (even though that's still what she calls it)

it's just someone building a machine made to look like the iron giant, because she likes the iron giant

the fight scene he's involved in happens because they needed someone strong enough to fight mecha godzilla, who was being used by the antagonist

basically the idea behind all the licensed material in this movie is how it works in VR chat, where people just kinda assume the likeness of whatever character they think is cool, whether it be master chief or generic demon guy

just got back

this is the first movie that i'm gonna rate a dumb/10

to its credit, it wasn't nearly as insufferable as i expected it to be, and i would be lying if i said there weren't any scenes that made me go "okay, that's actually pretty cool" or "okay, that's actually kinda smart"—of which there were several

so in that sense, i concur with fatherlynick and luciana

Spoiler
the way they paid homage to Adventure, the atari 2600 game with the first-ever easter egg built into it, was genuinely heartwarming

but it was still quite the cheese factory, and after the movie my sister said something like "i'm glad i'm not a gamer"

songs that use autotune are automatically bad, it doesn't matter how good the rest of the song is

other vocal effects are fine

I'm heading to the theater right now. Haven't yet decided between Tomb Raider, Ready Player One, Shape of Water or Pacific Rim Uprising. Probably going to Pacific Rim but I'm open to suggestions for another 22 minutes.
guillermo had nothing to do with pacific rim 2, just so that's clear

new patch dropping on the 3rd

balrog and cammy seem relatively unchanged by my deductions, but the changes to rog's v-trigger 2 seem very fun to mess around with—he can combo into the throw now, something only zangief has been able to do

the guy who made that song died in a police shootout, during which snoop dogg was on the phone with him trying to calm him down

posted a thread about this a while ago and nobody gave a fuck 👌

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Gainax, 2007, completed) So the other day, I decided to give this show another shot. Reason being, I overheard some loser at college talking about it last week, just going on and on about how awesome he thought it was, and that it's the greatest show of all time, et cetera. And with every word he spoke, the larger the pit in my stomach grew. It genuinely upsets me when people have shit taste in public, to the extent that I had fleeting thoughts of just going up and slapping him across the fucking face, just to let him know what's what.

To fuel my hatred, I started watching the show from the beginning again, just to remind myself of why I hated it so much, because it had been awhile. And while, by the time I finished, I had fully intended to write up that big long hatepost I've been promising for some time now, I'm extremely embarrassed to admit that I actually can't do such a thing anymore.

Because after having finished my rewatch last night—and I can't bullshit you guys, that's not what I'm hear to do—something just... clicked. I seriously don't know what the fuck I was missing the first couple times I watched this, but for whatever reason, it all just makes sense to me now. This is, by far, one of the deepest, most intelligent, and honest-to-god entertaining shows I've ever seen. A complete turnover from what I used to think of it in the past.

Trust me, if you need help understanding just how this change of heart happened, look no further than episode 4—my personal favorite, and the episode where things really start to pick up, in my opinion. Not only do we have some immaculate art and animation in this episode, it's also the part where the characters really start becoming more fleshed out and likable, and you really start feeling like you're part of the team. It's like you're actually there and stuff. And uh, HELLO? Can we talk about those fucking EPIC giant robot fights? I dare you to spell "epic" without mentioning any of those fights. My favorite thing about them is that they're all VERY cool and VERY epic.

But of course, you guys know me—I'm not just into the mindless action. I need my clever writing, smartly-designed characters, and philosophical food for thought, too, because I need to fool myself into thinking I'm smarter than I am sometimes. And upon further inspection, this show offers that in spades. Just LOOK at this characterization.

Do you hear that? That's the sound of Tolstoy eating his heart out.

I know I've always said that Yoko has always sort of been the postergirl for literally everything I hate about not just anime, but life itself? But I think you guys could all tell that was bullshit. Deep down, she was always my favorite thing about the show, by far, and she's honestly the primary reason I even kept watching in the first place. And can you blame me? She's just such a great character, with one of the coolest and—dare I say—sexiest designs of all time.

My absolute favorite thing about her is that Imaishi demanded the animators to draw her (a 14-year-old girl, canonically) as erotically as possible, which leads me to my biggest overall complaint about the show—I don't think there was enough boob gags. That's really something that this show needed a lot more of. More boob gags. I feel like if there was just three or seven more, this really would've been the first show to get a perfect rating from me. But alas, I suppose I can't ask for too much. Still an amazing show, and my new favorite.

Peace out, Devilman. You were just a passing fad anyway. ROW ROW, FIGHT THE POWAH!

9/10

when it comes to fox, these days it really just depends on who's playing—mango is the only fox i genuinely enjoy watching, because he goes out of his way to do dope shit, even if it loses him the game

i still think falco is hype though, because combo-oriented characters just get me hard, and most falco players have a very distinct style

most fox players all play the same robotic 20XX way though, and it's utterly sickening to watch

I hope you’re not referring to me. Eva is a show I hold very close to my heart and I’m glad it wasn’t tainted by being in this flick.
i distinctly remember you recommending me to watch it because you wanted me to shit on it or something
