you are sir totally WRONG, and YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS youre the only .
 
It's only a Goku wannabe one-punching generic bad guys, there's no character development, nor deep content, and looks taken from the 80's... Good animation tho.
 
Anyone keeping up with Macross Delta? I want to know if they moved beyond turning it into an 80s disney singalong.

No, i specifically meant Robotech. Robotech was literally Macross on license for yanks by Harmony Gold.

I'll probably watch SDF Macross too if i have it

actually, robotech was macross + other random shows. They merged three unrelated shows together with good editing.

I totally knew that. I also know that Robotech has been completely dead in the water because H.G refuse to allow others to make Robotech content in the US as they have the ONLY studio who have the license/rights to the franchise (in the US) I think they have tried to carry on the series but ended up scrapping it and despite many petitions to them to release the rights to it so fans & other studios can use it they have refused every time.

The only way to change this is if the original creators of macross make a spin off and license that out to another studio in the US who arent complete Nazi's about it.
 
Isn't there a slight difference though between the original compared to robotech? I can't remember what they were on top of my head,i did watch Robotech first before the japanese dub and i much prefer the japanese version.

Robotech is an adaptation of Macross for the US market produced in partnership with Tatsunoko Production Company - the folks behind the whole Macross franchise. Robotech used to come on tv on saturdays pretty early in the morning so i always used to catch the last part of it & I had watched a few cantonese dubbed episodes on VHS without really understanding what the whole Robotech thing was about until a good few years ago. Japanese dubs are always superior, but the Cantonese one wasnt so bad. Ive also got Cantonese dubbed Gundam Wing and Relena & Quatre's as well as generic parts from OZ soldiers can be almost cringeworthy as they lack any sort of emotion lol. Its like they were reading it from a script without even watching the anime and the production company using some leet editing skills to sync everything up

I watched Gundam Wing in cantonese and still have it in VCD boxset, back in the day when China Town in London had bootleg shows dubbed in cantonese in a video store. It wasn't entirely bad really they did a decent job and i have seen few other anime in cantonese which was aired on the chinese channel,ranging from Bomberman,Cooking Master boy,Grander musashi,Ultraman,Yamato Takeru.

I watched Gundam SD in Cantonese, but that was ages ago when i was out in Hong Kong sitting down to a bowl of ramen with my policeman uncle & his son :p not a bad effort.

On a side note - I have a sneaky suspicion that Heero was voiced by 'Nicholas Tse' a.k.a. Tse Ting-fung but his role is probably uncredited just like all the other voice actors.

Lol all the dub voice actors are a real mystery sadly,they do like to use the same female voice actor for many dubs though.
 
Boku no Hero Academy seemed really cookie cutter and boring at first..

Actually its still really cookie cutter. But im finding it more enjoyable than many of the other shows im watching this season.

Shingeki no Zombie is great though.
 
hero academy was the same for me, at first glance it seems crap - but it does have its own originality in there.

big order seems to be going the other way, i saw glimpses of another code geass but it seems to be getting worse not better.

"hundred" has just gone to shit, probably wont bother watching any more.
 
THE MOMENT MY HEART STOPPED......... and i didnt want to believe.........

attack on carbonara is still standing out to me as one of the best of this season.
 
Anyone still following macross delta?? If so has it actually got any better.
 
....might be late to the party but just discovered these two jems warning they are ruff nsfw


 
so my thoughts on the current anime season as its wrapping up.

attack on carbonara: not A+, but if its your type of show its one of the best this season. Solid A from me so far.

Re: Zero: This one came out of nowhere, but has a good premise and it works. Not cheesy or corny for 'guy wakes up in fantasy world' genre, even if the plot moves slowly. A+ imo.

Big Order: had some hope it might go towards code geass, but its fell short. B- at best - developed a world and did little with it.

Concrete Revolutio (season 2 i guess) chaotic but interesting. Plot jumps around more than pubic lice on a hooker, but the chaos can be entertaining. B-

Mayoiga: Blah. C at best, mostly people just yelling at each other.

Assassination Classroom S2: Mai Waifu drools over this show, but its entertaining with few parts i didnt like. B+

Joker game: Each ep kinda stands alone, so binge watching is odd. as far as watching it weekly goes its pretty good for a 'spy thriller' short story thing. Flat A.

Boku no Hero Academia: I thought this would be terrible but it actually handles the superhero formula really well, including how powers would shape peoples personalities. flat A.

Terra Formars S2: typical fighting anime with its plot twists and melee combat. A few sci fi twists make it interesting, but i can see it being a lot of personal preference. B/B- depending if you like sci fi i guess.
