  1. How does changing the location change the story when it's about a police division cracking down hackers in a cyberpunk world? Practically any location could work as long as it's in an urban area. Yes, they'll have to name change the cast in order to appeal the mainstream audience but you know what, if the movie feels like a Ghost in the Shell then that's all it matters (to me at least). If you don't like the idea of Hollywood adapting this, that's fine. Just stick with the anime. Besides, it probably never was meant for anime fans anyways. Either way, it's rather unfair to immediately judge this when they're still on planning stages. We don't even know if Scarlet accepted the offer for the main role. Things could change during production. Other than that, I'm not expecting anything until a trailer drops.

  3. It really depends on the show/movie it's adapted from. Shows like Ghost in the Shell isn't so culturally Japanese centric if you know what I mean, so therefor I think it could work as a movie taken place in America. Sure, white washing is a common issue, but in this case though, the Major can be anyone since she's just a brain.

    Are there any horror movies similar to Cabin in the Woods?
  5. Both albums are equally mediocre to me. I'll give MUSIC a slight edge because puzzle is my favorite girugamesh song. Most of MONSTER tracks felt like it was aimed at party animals. Resolution is the only song I kept from that album.
  6. Forgot to mention this. G-Reco & Build Fighters Try stream with commentary. http://new.livestream.com/ShinStation/SixShotGundam

  8. If I wanna save a few bucks, then I don't have much of a choice.
  9. I have... PS2, PS3, DS, gamecube, GBA SP, and PSVita. Ever since I built my gaming PC, consoles slowly loses my interest. Only reason for me to play console nowadays is for exclusives.
  10. Guys, let's just wait & see how the movie will turn out rather than going in with preconceived notions.
  11. Who I would like to see: Ryohei Yamamoto x Yuya Matsushita Maon Kurosaki x Aoi Eir D'espairsRay x Hazuki (lynch) SUGIZO x Hiroyuki Sawano or Shoji Meguro For the lulz: Dir en grey x Ayumi Hamasaki Deathgaze x AKB48

GG on that one.

    Holy crap, I got way too much on my plate this season. Here are my guaranteed watches: Yona of the Dawn I've always liked shojo fantasy like this that feels very reminiscent to the 90s. Amagi Brilliant Park Mainly watching this for Fumoffu/Moffle. I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying This short is hilarious. An otaku husband and a bland wife. Too bad each ep is less than 5 min long. Gundam Build Fighters Try This is a clear winner for me. I honestly thought a sequel for Build Fighters was unnecessary since it ended on such a good note, but this first ep managed to blow me away. Fumina Hoshino is a great heroine and it seems pretty clear that this will be her story. I like how Ral already points out Sekai is the 2nd coming of Reiji. My only concern is the voice actor for Ral since the original has been hospitalized so we'll be getting a new voice actor starting from ep5 or 6. It's gonna be interesting to see how this team dynamic will be played out as a contrast to the first show where it was solo/partnership competition. Gundam Reconguista in G I saw the first three eps during my week stay in Japan as an early showing. It's old school in every sense of the word. It definitely reminds of Turn A Gundam and Overman King Gainer in its style and direction. Since G-Reco is directed & created by Tomino, the creator of the Gundam franchise (and possibly his last anime), it's a must watch for me. This show can be a hit or miss with some viewers in the way these eps were executed because Tomino intended this show for veteran fans. While this show does take place in the Universal Century timeline, it's so far off in the future (R.C. 1014) that you don't need any prior knowledge of the franchise to see this. Parasyte -the maxim- Another show I highly anticipated. I've read the manga almost a decade ago which still remains in my top 10, so seeing the anime announcement was a big surprise to me. The order of things has moved around in the first ep but it still managed to be great none the less. It was a little weird hearing dubstep music as the BGM. Lord Marksman and Vanadis Nothing in this show makes sense, but it's fantasy genre so I'll just shut off my brain and roll with it. Your Lie in April Another show I really wanted to see upon reading the manga. Everything here is beautiful; the visuals, music, execution. I highly recommend this, even if you don't school settings, just watch it for its beautiful production. So far, the only thing that's a bit off putting is the exaggerated comical antics. Undecided: Cross Ange *cringes* Why Fukuda? Why?!

    Captain Harlock Finally saw this CG movie. Very pretty to look at, would've been even better if I saw at the big screen. Plot wise, there were many head scratching moments but it was average overall. Justice League: War This may be my 2nd favorite Justice League animated feature. I really liked the visuals here, especially on the costume design. It was very interesting to see the members meet for the first time.
