Maybe if AOS- could photoshop a hipster hat onto Lelouch?

 

[Cano]

This reminds me of Fuu a bit.

 

[Azuremen]

I can use Photoshop as well

Finding a smug (thus suiting) picture of Lelouch isn't hard, which is nice. I could go with some other character as well, or just stick with Segai since he is pretty much awesome.

Which reminds me, I need new Guilty Crown...

 

[DK]

Morning, all. *sips Asuka's Red Bull*

👍

*supports SOPA*

That's a dick move, seeing as you live in Canada.

Asuka route is the best though.

True, but keep a first aid kit and a bit of LCL at the ready in case you piss her off.

I think I am gonna go to bed now. 9am class. At least the class is awesome. Night guys! And DK.

Ya-...hang on, what are you implying?

 

[uMadson?]

Go watch Ben-to to see more of them Though I have to go through iDOLM@STER and Bebop first.

 

[DK]

I want the blonde.

 

[uMadson?]

I want the blonde.

Arrgh you got me, was about to move on from adoring the Rei Ayanami lookalike whose name is Sen Yarizui

 

[DK]

Gah, I need new pants. See you guys later, I have school now.

^ Sorry, no AEAD today...

 

[Sephy]

Anyway, up to episode 7 of HSotD. It's true it's a damn shame to see what could be a great show degenerate into nothing more than otaku bait but man... this is one hell of an otaku bait. Totally digging it

Ya-...hang on, what are you implying?

-> Just stumbled at Kotaku...

LMAO!!!!!


Still no new Persona! WTH!

GC 12... 🤬 !!!!

Spoiler

Mana was weird though. What was she trying to gain out of marrying Shu?

Spoiler

The virus makes people go crazy.

Also about Gai, I thought he looked much older than Shu, that's why I said he should have been drawn older in the flashbacks lol.

OADA with bonus:

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Still no new Persona! WTH!

I'm going to murder somebody.

 

[Dravonic]

GC 12... 🤬 !!!!

Spoiler

They made so many exceptions to the given parameters of the show this episode just to make things happen.

Pretty much. But important things happened, so I'm not complaining. As long as it's at least a bit believable I'm fine with it at this point.

Spoiler

You wanna know something funny? Gai was like "Oh hi Shu! I'm still alive! He didn't get any internal organs it seems!".... You guys know that that line realistically applies when you get impaled via stabbed or shot? That Gai got slashed.... Of course that's not going to get any organs! It's all ribcage first..

This show and realism just don't go together. I accepted that but this was just too much...

Spoiler

If you want a character to die a heroic death, then don't pretty much kill him before he has a chance to and then bring him back to life just to die his heroic death.

 

[AOS-]

I need new Guilty Crown...

Already out, silly.

I can make GITS avatars, only after I've watched it of course. However, I have Black Lagoon coming in first. Look forward to that

 

[Loliblade ver2]

PERSONA 4 THE ANIMATION AVATARS!


Please? :3

Well I could do that but I need to know all the characters you guys would want to see. The last thing you want is for me to use pictures of characters not even in the show!

Oh I should bring this up; According to animecalendar, Nisem airs at the Midnight of Saturday/Sunday, that's 11am EST Saturday for us... maybe we won't have Nisen on Stream tonight...Also, I won't be home by 10 so don't go flipping out (and tables) if I ain't here by then.

 

[Sephy]

Rise FTW!!!!!!

Also, I won't be home by 10 so don't go flipping out (and tables) if I ain't here by then.

So we need to hurry and watch the good stuff.


EDIT: Still no Persona!!

 

[MHPALA]

GITS avatars 👍 Want a Motoko one .

 

[Lain]

Makoto avatars 👍 Want one .

Fixed.

 

[AOS-]

Oh you mean one, Sean...

make sure Canoholic, Sly, and whoever else joins.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Well I could do that but I need to know all the characters you guys would want to see. The last thing you want is for me to use pictures of characters not even in the show!

Get to watching the show yourself

Yu, Chie, Yosuke, Rise, Yukiko, Kanji, Nanako(Just to get Lain's interest peaked) and Kuma.

Not necessary: Yosuke and Kanji.

 

[TheCorvette]

Just tried the evangelion ENG dub. Who ever did the dub deserves to be shot in the face 👍. This is my first time hearing a bad dub. All the other dubs I watched were fine like gundam, FMA, etc. Yes I know, obvious response.

ADV Films (Now Sentai Filmworks) did. Their dubs are pretty big hits or misses.

Now that they're Sentai, I don't know what to think since I haven't heard much from stuff they've dubbed.

Ben-To, I kept hearing so much talk about that show. Still haven't seen it (It remains unlicensed.).
--------------
Guilty Crown 12

Spoiler

Mana wanted to marry and 🤬 Shu....what? With Gai now finally dead, the show's quality will go down further, all depends on Shu since he can bring the show's quality down entirely by himself.

Also every time I look at Mana, she makes me think of Anemone from Eureka Seven since they kinda look alike. Though Anemone was the way better character.

lolwut? FUNimation just sued ADV Films/Sentai Filmworks!

Funimation Sues A.D. Vision, Sentai, Others for US$8 Million
posted on 2012-01-13 16:00 EST
Seeks to have ADV's 2009 sale of assets declared void

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On November 4, 2011, FUNimation Entertainment filed a lawsuit in the district court of Harris County, Texas against John Ledford, as well as companies A.D. Vision, AEsir Holdings, Sxion 23 (A.K.A. Section23 Films), Valkyrie Media Partners, Seraphim Studios, Sentai Filmworks, Sentai Holdings, and Unio Mystica Holdings (A.K.A. Switchblade Pictures) for breach of contract and other claims. Ledford is the CEO and co-founder of A.D. Vision. In the lawsuit, Funimation claims that the defendants owe Funimation "an amount to be proven at trial but currently estimated" to be approximately US$8 million plus interest, costs, and attorneys' fees.

Funimation's lawsuit alleges that it became a creditor of A.D. Vision (ADV) in regard to a debt ADV owed ARM Corporation, which was a third party licensing entity jointly owned by Sojitz Corporation and several other companies. The lawsuit notes that ADV had purchased anime licenses from ARM after May 2006, and in January 2008 ARM "declared ADV to be in default of the parties' agreements." ADV lost the rights to more than 30 anime properties, and in July 2008, Funimation and ARM announced that they had reached a distribution agreement for those properties.

In the lawsuit, Funimation claims that ARM also gave Funimation the right to enforce ARM's agreement with ADV, specifically in regard to the debt that ADV owed ARM &#8212; making Funimation a creditor. The suit alleges that ADV never paid this debt, and instead sold its assets for below market price to several companies owned by former ADV executives and shut down.

The suit goes on to claim that ADV's transfer of assets "was made with the intent to defer, hinder or defraud the creditors of ADV," including Funimation, and that the new companies "succeeded ADV's contractual liability" in regard to the outstanding debt.

Funimation is also requesting that the court declare ADV's transfer of assets "as null, voided and without effect," restoring those assets to the parent company. Funimation is also requesting a jury trial.

On December 23, Sentai Filmworks, Seraphim Studios, Sentai Holdings, Valkyrie Media Partners, Unio Mysteica Holdings, AEsir Holdings, and Section23 Films filed a counterclaim disputing these charges. The companies claim, among other things, that they do not have a contract with Funimation and are not liable to the company. They claim that the companies did not exist when Funimation acquired the rights from ARM to enforce ADV's contract with ARM. In addition, the companies claim that Funimation's lawsuit was filed after the two-year statute of limitations, and that Funimation was not involved with the original contract and cannot claim any direct damages.

The companies are asking that the court declare that Funimation's contract "is not a valid agreement binding on the Defendants," that the companies owe "no duties or performance of any obligations" to Funimation, and that Funimation pay for the companies' attorney's fees, costs, and expenses.

The first pre-trial meeting is currently scheduled for October 5, 2012.

Section23 Films provided ANN with the following statement:

Funimation's lawsuit is completely without merit or basis and we look forward to proving it when we have our day in court.
When asked to comment, Funimation told ANN that its official statement is addressed in the lawsuit.

Good gawd, what is the industry coming to right now? Bandai last week announced they would stop releasing new anime and manga, then on Tuesday Media Blasters laid off 60% (10 of their 15 employees.), and now, FUNimation and ADV/Sentai are fighting with each other.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Oh, I forgot Izanagi(Persona), so badass.

Loading up Persona 4 now

 

[DK]

Up to Ep. 9 of SEL now. Forgive me, but Eva has infected my mind so much that I can't help but draw comparisons between it and Lain (not the one who drives an ice cream van).

Also, my back is OK now! Normal business time has resumed!
"Lolwut?"

 

[Loliblade ver2]

But... Serial Experiments Lain > Evangelion.


*anteater pose*

 

[TheCorvette]

But... Serial Experiments Lain > Evangelion> Steins;Gate.
*anteater pose*

Fixed

[Dravonic]

HSotD wasn't so bad. It even had it's moments. Boobs, zombies, guns, action and some occasional drama. Works well as some brain-dead fun.

But, in the end, it's nothing more than a forgettable show. Full of cliches, just your run-of-the-mill harem/fanservice with zombies thrown into for whatever reason.

 

[Lain]

.

Close...

But... Evangelion > Serial Experiments Lain > Steins;Gate


*uberpimp pose*

Fixed.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

HotD had tension, drama, great animation, great music and some seriously wicked action. If they removed boobs, boobs, boobs and ditsy :censored:in' characters. It would have been an absolutely fantastic show.

I have yet to become one of those cynics that believe zombies = instant terrible cliche. So I don't want some goddamn show trying to prove me wrong.

Fixed.

Nah, Serial Experiments Lain > Evangelion < Steins;Gate.


But I think we can all agree on: Okabe > Lain > Shinji.

Up to Ep. 9 of SEL now. Forgive me, but Eva has infected my mind so much that I can't help but draw comparisons between it and Lain (not the one who drives an ice cream van).

Is pretty damn difficult to draw comparisons between the two, as a whole they deal with sort of like the same existentialism issue but they have very different approaches(and they are very different, the only similitude is that Eva gets some psychological moments while SEL is a mind 🤬).
