Anime Nation

Didn't know TPU had this thread. I don't watch anime very often but I've been working through hundreds and hundreds of manga.

Just finished Kyoukai no Kanata and Mirai-hen. The series is alright, but Mirai-hen is where it's at, no joke. Working through Violet Evergarden now; it's truly a gem. I've left Yorimoi on the 10th episode for some time so I oughtta finish that as well - beautiful masterpiece.

As for movies, Ookami Kodomo is a really good watch that I've finished recently. I'm not sure if I can describe it as "emotional" though; I'm a sucker for well-matched musical scores so I'm crying all the time with serious anime, lol.

Aobuta in manga form was solid as hell, can't pass judgment on the anime yet. I wish the translations for the sequel Petit Devil Kouhai would hurry up.

Finally watching Violet Evergarden, and wow... Art to screen at its best.

And the story to match

Wrapped Violet Evergarden. Loved it. Honestly an example of everything anime can be I think.

Chapter 10, nuff said.

That was really rough, but heartwarming too. Also when

Spoiler: Episode 7

The author watches her jump the pond, and thinks about his daughter. I actually had to pause that part and wait to be able to read the subtitles

Rewatching konosuba to show it to my brother, those 4 bastards know how to make me laugh.

They’re making more? Sweet.
And hey, we get a konosuba movie too

Yeah, that we will be able to watch in 2020... I'm seriously considering reading the source material.

it has been bought to my attention that a Live action gundam movie is currently in the works...

I cant really express how much i get the feeling they are going to mess it up because some things just dont translate well into western culture. Hollywood made an attempt, it was called Pacific Rim and that was a mess.

I can honestly see this live action going down the same hole. especially when the guy writing the script is probably better at writing for something like GiTs, Futuristic cyborg Deus Ex sciency fiction kinda shit then writing something for giant big ass robots.

Im crossing my fingers that he understands the lore but i wont get my hopes up about what becomes of this movie.

Honestly, Pacific Rim was fine. Rough around the edges, but the action was delivered well. The sequel took a bunch of teenagers and shat all over what precarious foundation the original had laid.

I don't care for live action. They generally don't work at all. If Gundam is what you desire, there's always Iron-Blooded Orphans. I love Uru and discovered the anime through her track Freesia; I haven't had time to watch it yet but it's said to be quite worth it.

I knew about the live action Gundam movie awhile ago, my only hope is if they do UC era with Amuro Ray they break it down into 4 part movie like this:
Part 1 - Drop to earth
Part 2 - Road to Jaburo Base
Part 3 - Journey to A boa qu
Part 4 - Battle of A boa qu
But i'm keeping my expectations low for Gundam, maybe do live action for all human interactions and then use CGI for all mech battles..who knows.

I think Unicorn would make a great candidate for a live action version providing they get the right cast/crew to work on it but yeah, they would need to adapt the series and split it into a few movies. I would be so hyped for a Unicorn live action.


That asside - even the Japanese can mess up some of their own stuff... Theyve tried their hand at making live actions without any western influences or involvement and some of them have been baaaaaaaaad. I think the most recent one was full metal alchemist. I watched the first 5mins and i was like "wow... the costumes, makeup and CGi are so bad..." - Instantly closed the video and went to watch something else.

Attack on Titan live action is another great example of how bad Japan can mess up their own creation. Nothing gets lost in translation but yet is so bad lol

Please if they do, MS UC Please!!! I wanna see that bastard of Char kicking butts. Damn great villains
make things better. BRING THAT RED COMET !!!!!!

IMO Gundam build fighters could be better for live action. Even though is directed to kids.
Gundam series have only 1% of success in live action movie from my point of view.

Anyone going to be watching Alita?

Seen it, loved it. Unfortunately most people got stuck with the eyes in the trailers, created a negative buzz and the movie didn't do the tickets it deserved and probably we will not get a sequel. It should have done double of what it did to justify a sequel, considering it costed 170 millions.

Anyway to everyone seen this movie, this fan made(I think) video includes many of the great scenes in the movie.

A lot of people got hung up on the fact that her battle outfit was too figure hugging and thus 'sexualized' her a bit too much

Working my way thru the manga first, to fiil in the holes in the story.

Bought the Violet Evergarden OST, worth every penny.

Look at the Sonic teaser.

Sincerely and Michishirube are both good, so I don't doubt that the rest of the OST is too

The last complete anime OST I really took time to listen to was the Kimiuso soundtrack. A lot of the tracks really got me, as I remembered the scenes they were from. It was like reliving the crazy feels train all over again.

Yeah, the Evergarden one is that way too, lots of emotional connections. This one hurts my heart.

I find that track more hopeful and triumphant than anything. Beautiful, though.

This number from Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso hits me hard every time, because it reminds me of Kousei's last performance ("did it reach her?" ), which was visually, emotionally, musically and symbolically the pinnacle of the story, looking up into the endless sky as if from a mountain top. Even though we all knew that the piece would inevitably come to an end, and what would come next.

Have you tried made in Abyss ost?
I find it to be a master piece as well...

Sure sounds hopeful and triumphant, but oh my goodness the scene it goes to. Destroyed me when I watched it.

Wow I like the music. Haven't heard of that one, but it's going on my to-watch list for sure.

This one is on the list now too.

 

[kurosagi01]

I wouldn't mind buying the soundtrack for Yugioh 5D just for the epic duel music.

Bring tissues. It's a little too Shakespeare, but strong anyway.
Try Anohana next for even moar feelz. I swear, every time I hear Secret Base, i tear up.
