The General Anime Thread...

I would go with 3 or 4 tone colouring just so that it'd look more like a graphic. This way you can make it look more like a graphic decal than a car with a bunch of stickers. Also, IMO if you want to get into making a good composition, don't get caught up trying to squeeze in every inch of a character into the body panel. You end up compromising a potentially good crop because you wanted to see her toes or the very top of her head..or something minute as that.

Yeah, it's a tough compromise to get the composition and proportions right, when I made the characters bigger and cropped them more it was cutting them off at points that looked really awkward.

I'm planning on making either static cling or magnetic vinyls that I can take off except when at events, so I can't have a full wrap color scheme for the car. That limits me quite a bit but I can't have my car itasha'd 24/7.

Part of me is thinking maybe I should forget the 2 and just do the E30 instead since I barely use it anyway.

Quick shout out.

Gintama is AWESOME!

[/End of shout out]

(Can't believe I didn't saw that before, is a bit dumb, but brilliant)

 

[AOS-]

I resumed Gintama after dropping it about a year or two ago. I'm actually enjoying it.

RIGHT....

No! No! No girls stuck onto an E30! They don't even go well together! Do machines, boxy-shaped things. Women aren't boxy! Someone please support me here.

The ending seemed as if they were trying for a S2.

 

[ZEROX]

Psycho Pass hooked me up! Currently on Ep. 7 and ongoing. *^*
Absolutely love the animation and the storyline.

It did, but I also like to believe that it was done to show for a lack of a better term the "circle of life".

That said, not having a second season i fine with me, but having a second season, if all goes exactly the way it suggests, may not be too exciting, unless Orobuchi comes up with a neat little twist again. I really don't see how Kogami can play the exact same role as Makishima can since they got different morals... and coefficients for that matter. It'd be strange to chase after him the way MWPSB chased Makishima.

I'm guessing it'd have to be another wanted criminal to go after, and Kogami will find his way back into MWPSB or Kogami causes MWPSB trouble in going after that one guy.

I'd like to see Kogami try to understand Makishima's morality if there's an S2. Also, I'd like to see more of the Psycho-Pass world outside Japan.

I don't think they really need to dwell on that so much as they need to do something with Sibyl. Makishima already explained his philosophy throughout the show; he just simply wants to observe people's behaviour in life. He's interested to see how people resolve situations. It sounds simple, but it is also very broad and open-ended.


And I'm pretty sure the world outside of Japan is presumably normal. There could be other machine-ruled countries, but I think Japan being the only one is most reasonable considering their technological advancement being so far ahead of everyone else. Maybe the concept of Sibyl running the world could be the next big thing for a second season. It'd take some time, or they could jump ahead in time, but there may be a struggle for an audience. What I'm imagining is like at least 8 years into the future where the story focuses elsewhere with a different cast. That premise alone might make it difficult to maintain the same audience from S1. However, with the 8 year gap, it's considerably appropriate imo that Sibyl has found its way into just about every first-world nation and it has proven to have an even bigger underlying social issues than it did back in S1's timeframe. I suppose it may require an explanation at some point about how it got to that point to tie ends but having a new Sibyl can easily make for more new content to bring into about the same existing entity that is Sibyl.

-> Still watching Future Diary and you know what? I'm warming over towards Yuno...or maybe I'm becoming a bit desparate to have a girl on my side...

-> Also, I didn't realize that I finished Nyarko! It was a good anime that kept me laughing!

-> Almost done for Gravion (S1), nice to see some robots with a bit of harem on the side...

-> And for Boku wa Tomodachi, I really do love its visuals and it looks like I will really like this series.

-> As for Rayearth, I really do like watching it. But at the moment, the motivation isn't there!

-> Once I'm done with Gravion, I will go a full marathon of TTGL (if time allows).

Come on dude, your will determines everything, remember! /fanboy

Hei, you too. I know you got stuck in the conclussion of 1st season which is the show's absolute zenith, but 2nd season is worth a try.

~For Your Eyes~

Almost. the only thing that fails massively is that she isn't reading manga.

 

[Hei]

Dammit, everyone is making me watch something

^ Too bad Hamtaro came way too late from my childhood. I have to settle Astro Boy (1980 version) in my youth (on which Astro Boy was awesome)

only now becoming?

^ What do you mean?

Come on dude, your will determines everything, remember! /fanboy

^ I am really trying!!! Its not the same feeling compared when I was watching Rayearth on Tagalog Dub.

Almost. the only thing that fails massively is that she isn't reading manga.

^ She might be reading this:

Onegai Teacher: Onegai Teacher: Mizuho & Kei's Diary Novel

Dammit, everyone is making me watch something

^ I feel you man...sometimes I simply can keep up with these guys. That is why I'm somewhat delayed, I tend to follow my own path most of the time.

 

[Hei]

No, I watch a ton, and they know that I'll watch it with them, it is just that I am addicted in other areas atm.

 

[Cano]

Stop complaining and watch it slowly, then.

Whatever the heck that is, keep watching. I know it's not the same almost 20 years later, but that's the whole point, to see if I'm the only one that thinks it still stacks up decently after such a long time. Specially effective if you watched it as a teen, like me (:

 

[AOS-]

👍 👍

lol what the heck is dat?

Some 1991 show I'm guessing never got enough exposure. It's


It's one of those classic action-themed cartoons that have a level of comedy to it, like Inspector Gadget. Season 1 (ep1-26) has only aired in France in 1991.

Season 2 apparently aired in 2006 though I can't find it anywhere.

 

[Hei]

I will watch it, just watch it with me. I'm watching a few shows while doing other things as well.

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

-> At the moment as I post right now, I'm watching the following:

- The Future Diary (thru Hulu via Mac)
- Bakemonogatari (thru Crackle via XB360)
- Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (thru random stream site Anime Here)
- Rayearth (thru Hulu via Mac)

^ All at the same sitting!!!

No, I watch a ton, and they know that I'll watch it with them, it is just that I am addicted in other areas atm.

^ Yup, we are both the same...I'm addicted to Mirai Nikki & Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, so yeah.

Stop complaining and watch it slowly, then.

^ Well Rayearth was removed from Crackle now, now so now I'm using Hulu now to watch the series.

^ Interesting! 👍

 

[Hei]

You can always download the show.....but yeah no, I'm addicted to classic Gundam and videogames.
