That Shit Was So Ass

Gundam SEED Destiny Final Plus Thread:

Rey Za Burrel admits he's a clone, and Shinn is beginning to echo Athrun's initial character arc of going "Man, I guess..." at everything despite the obscene amount of red la flagas. Speaking of, is he Mu again yet or just a chill Neo going with the flow?

The film's highlight is likely the montage set to Horacio Moscovici's "Carnavalito Tango", which does a lot more to integrate new footage with original animation. Like much of the film it's rather clumsy, but the pleasant, energetic music and willingness to eschew narration really elevates this bit.

The little recreations of props and costuming from the animation remain charming. The most obvious is the little girl, but I appreciated the attempt to recreate the Fishermen's spears and attire in live-action, there's something charming about the way it contrasts the more grounded aesthetics here.

Watching it in HD, its cheapness is still quite apparent, but you can appreciate its scant moments of genuine beauty a lot more. I'm quite fond of its transitions between animation and live-action, with this first graphic match being one of the most effective.

Revisited In The Aftermath (1988) after not having seen it in years, and in HD for the first time.

Best known for clumsily combining and reordering about half of Mamoru Oshii's Angel's Egg with newly made live-action footage in service of making a new, more straightforward post-apocalyptic story.

Spending so much on a thing like this. - Beck: Hm? Yeah... I just love watersports. In the next panel, Beck's goons respond to this statement with incredulity.

The Big O manga confirms Beck loves watersports.

"I have to experience it The Right Way" is a disease that I totally understand, but why rob yourself of new opportunities? Why not revisit an old favorite in a different way for the fun of it? Watch the less good cut and see if there's anything good in there. Watch it with a dub you haven't heard.

The thing about films having alternate cuts or endings is that if you like the film, you also have the privilege of being able to try a different flavor. Kill the canon purist in your mind and instead adopt a Wow Two Cakes mentality. If you don't like it, then examine why a version didn't please you

I am sick and tired of the "you have to pick one" mindset when it comes to presenting feature films and media in general

Cut this desert island whataboutism crap and examine things from a larger viewpoint.

Edit of a Reddit comment and series of responses featuring the cast of Azumanga Daioh. Tearful Little Diet Girl (Yomi): The genre is tokusatsu, not sentai. Sentai literally only refers to super sentai. Idk how people can say shit that's so utterly false when one google search prove them wrong. xX Fujicakes Xx (Tomo): Bro tokusatsu is a fried pork cutlet what are you even on lmfaoooooo Giants Fan #1 (Chiyo): I am pretty sure you are thinking of tonkatsu.

Something about the Robonoid's build always reminded me of the Count's Shadows in Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro, so here's one in their typical dark blue, operated by the Count's manservant Jodot.

Patlabor TV #40
Broadcast Mix vs Home Video mix

The sound effects work for Patlabor TV was originally done by Yasufumi Yoda of Fizz Sound Creation.
However after the broadcast ended, all the sound mixes were redone for LD onwards by E&M Planning Center to sound closer to the OVAs and movies.

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

Haha, same, that was how I first encountered it back in the day! Having revisited it since I've gotta admit that even for its time it's rather rough. I want to try and get through it eventually though, there's sparks that make me feel it'll have at least an episode or two that manage to really sing.

Penultimate trip to the SEED Destiny mines. Djibril fired the sudden mega laser superweapon at a bunch of places I've never heard of because while the worldbuilding and setting are clearly well thought out and realized, none of it has ever been communicated to the audience bc characters are priority
