Episode 48 (Finale)
And that's Stardust Crusaders. After so long we finally have a complete adaptation of this most famous arc that eventually lives up to the hype. It's finally the end of Dio, too, likely the most important character in all of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
And with that, I think...
Sony obviously wins E3 for Final Fantasy VII, but I've also given them the win for years like 2013 for similar Final Fantasy announcements that we'll similarly not be seeing for several years. There's no telling when we'll actually ever get XV or KH3, so I'm sure we'll be waiting quite a bit...
Episode 62
One down before they even got past the prologue?
It seems like this arc just keeps getting bigger with each passing episode. I guess that does fit for it still being the prologue, still building up all of its elements. And in just the next one (finally out of the prologue...
Episode 47
Oh god, the end of that opening. So perfect.
The whole episode was pretty damn amazing, and it ends with an even bigger twist to put Dio at his best for the grand finale. It should be a hell of an episode, and I can't imagine how they'll manage to annihilate Dio once and for all...
As with everyone in the Stardust Crusaders dub, this doesn't shed any light on which LA studio it was recorded at. Soon...
At least we know it's LA, presumably either Bang Zoom! or Studiopolis, and almost certainly whichever one Stardust Crusaders was recorded at, so I expect roughly the same...
Re: Chapter 629
Bleach pace is Bleach pace, but this is definitely the feeling of progress, so I can appreciate that. The enormity of the cast has always been a problem in balancing giving everything appropriate time and not spending forever just catching up with each character, but the way...
Re: Chapter 789
The stopwatch thing has always been pretty stupid, but it was a pretty great countdown to the final round anyway. Too bad the female fighters can never be anything more than damsels, though.
Episode 61
These Tartaros folks are some powerhouses. Fairy Tail is going to need to pull out some major friendship-sourced power-ups to take them down and bring back all the people who appeared to be killed.
Episode 10
Oh man, that Dojima eyecatch was gold. Between this and JoJo, this was one hell of a Koyasu day. They even threw that image of Dojima in the ending for this episode. So good.
So yeah, not only does Megumi acknowledge her growth that we had noted last time, she becomes the focus for...
Episode 46
Damn, after so much of this arc seemed like it was dragging, I can't even believe how quickly this is moving. Although it was ultimately the focus of most of the episode, Kakyoin's death seemed rather sudden. I guess it works with the fact that the damage was done in Dio's private...
Episode 415
Haha, and we're already back to flashback land. Oh, Naruto. How could I have expected anything else?
Of course the only thing Naruto does more than flashbacks is cross-generational parallels, but I thought they had done pretty much as much as they could with that. But with more...
Wow, two new shows, one that hasn't been picked up in all these years of people saying "Hey it's got a Cowboy Bebop connection" and finally one from Sentai. Quite the announcement; always nice to see things going well enough for big stuff like this, although with those Kai ratings I'm not...
Re: Episode #9
Megumi filling her role as Soma's partner successfully and with complete certainty was definitely a highlight of the meal preparation this time.
Overall the ending scenes with Soma and Erina humming along to the ED song and culminating in their meeting, followed by the actual ED...
Re: Episode #414
It would've been nice to go straight to the great animation once we got back to the canon material, but just having it after all that filler is still very nice. I'm sure there will be some great quality before long. We're finally getting to the end.
Re: Chapter #627
Still moving more slowly than it was for a little bit, but hopefully there aren't too many distractions along the way. Of course, once there's action to be shown very little will actually happen in each chapter, so it's bound to take an eternity even on the relative fast track.
Re: Chapter 787
Even better, we've got everyone who's been supporting Luffy throughout this entire arc, all revitalized by Leo's powers, holding back Doflamingo and his Birdcage that otherwise would kill everyone in Dressrosa before Luffy could finish recharging as well as anyone else who would...
Episode 59
Okay, so just the "Prologue" of the Tartarus Arc is its own arc. Damn. They're sure off to an explosive start. The abruptness and use of silence were very effective. But of course it's not like anyone in Fairy Tail can actually die. Still a huge deal to happen so suddenly. You could...
Episode 44
Wow, Avdol is actually dead this time, and Iggy along with him. At least I assume it's true, with the official death declaration. Now Dio just has to match up to his final demi-boss. It did give Polnareff the chance to be more badass than anyone would probably ever imagine. Really...
Bones has nothing to do with it. It's just an anime adaptation of FMA creator Hiromu Arakawa's manga adaptation, animated by the studios Liden Films and Sanzigen.
Episode 413
Finally over. Good thing the conclusion was a million times faster than the rest of the arc. It was mostly just because it was finally ending, but this was one of my favorite episodes of the arc. I always like seeing prequel stories tie into the future we already knew about and...
Episode 272
Such a great parody, and especially fitting to be adapted during the final cour of the actual anime. They even got the eyecatches.
I wasn't expecting Kurokono to have black hair, but I guess they needed to do a little color change. At least he was still Kensho Ono.
Yeah, that's what I said. Sentai does that for everything.
It's expected that the Japanese will provide whatever credits they want to remain credited across international releases, and the American companies don't go out of their way to see what may have been missed and do that extra task...
Re: Chapter #626
Grimmjow is such a shounen villain-turned-hero tsundere. "It's just 'cause I gotta be the one to kill you... baka!"
Overall a slightly less eventful chapter than the last few, but things are definitely happening, which is very nice to have.
Re: Chapter 786
The only real question was how Luffy was going to be able to beat Doflamingo since the former was spent after his Gear Four assault and the latter was obviously still in the game. This makes sense and brings all of the remaining elements of the arc into the forefront. Gyats...
When credits are lacking, it's almost certainly that the Japanese simply didn't provide them in the materials they sent over. The choice to not translate credits is pretty much dependent on the company; FUNimation translates everything unless they can't possibly get a clean version (and in the...
There hasn't been much discussion for recent seasons, so I figured I wouldn't bother this time. Nice to see there's at least one other person who wants to discuss it, though, so I'll be posting about future episodes here as long as the discussion continues.
Episode 58
Oh wow, they're actually just beginning the episodes with "Tartarus Arc" now. And with it having a "Prologue" (not sure if that will refer to one episode or an arc within the arc), it looks to be pretty massive. I'm glad they're going right into it. We certainly didn't suffer through...
