"Boobs, Guns, and Cosplay": The NEW Anime Pic Thread

[Reply #360 on:]

Yes, Chris, I would also like to know..
Pitt, I've seen those. They make baby Jesus cry. Actually so did the End of Eva movies, but.. That's beside the point.
..Changing "Rei" to "Ray" has got to be the most hilariously dumbassed name change since.. well.. Sailor Moon's "Rei" to "Raye". Seriously. I might understand changing "Misato Katsuragi," after all, Amurrkans dun unnerstand teh japuhneese wurds, but.. Come on.
So, congratulations, filmmakers. You made three original and dynamic characters into bland scifi archetypes and you made Eva 01 look wrinkly like my Grandma. I hope you're happy!
Oh, TOTP!

[Reply #361 on:]

You'd think people would learn after the Super Mario movie woundn't you? 

[Reply #362 on:]

Didn't we have a large discussion of this movie in the old pic thread? I seem to remeber some interesting points being pointed out. I'll look later. Until then

I thought this was quite approprate


On that note



I think it was pointed out in the lesbian thread that huge breasts cna look ridiculous. As such




I thought about it for a while and have choosen to only link this one http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8772/prettydamnclose.jpg
I also thought this pic was fairly apt

[Reply #363 on:]

Well, back on track I suppose.

Now, why would you post that?  I thought we all agreed the last time someone posted that to never speak of it again.

That one never bothered me.  I mean, it's not like you can hear how her name is spelled when it's spoken.

It's not the name changes or the way that the evas look that will make ths movie suck.  The real reason that it will suck is because, instead of 14-year-old kids, the eva pilots will be played by adult actors, thus defeating the entire purpose of the story.  All of the psychological aspects will likely be removed, and the movie will end up being about giant robots fighting giant monsters, which is not at all what Eva is about.

Hey, don't knock the Super Mario Brothers movie.  I love that thing.

Great.  Now I'm gonna have to build a time machine so that I can go back in time and destroy Nurdy's computer when he's still twelve.

[Reply #365 on:]

Ignorance cannot overcome facts.  Anyway, I dred to think who's gonna direct this piece of eva-crap.  With my luck, it'll be Roland Emerich.

Here are some more reasons that adaptation movies DON'T work:

Street Fighter
Godzilla
The aborted Saban Live-action Sailor Moon
Double Dragon
Hulk
Batman and Robin

If there is good fortune with the project it may turn out like the X-men movie, Spider-man, or Abre los Ojos (See the second Urusei Yatsura movie).  All of which are good films, but they stile PALE in comparason to the either the original or the originals legacy and breadth.

Somebody post some pictures.  I'm depressed.

Actually, Saban had nothing to do with that.  Saban may be guilty of many sins, but that wasn't one of them.

Also, don't forget that other live-action adaptation of Sailor Moon.  You know, the one where they changed Usagi's name to Buffy.

You know I seem to remember reading somewhere about a Live Salormoon skating show (you know like that Beauty and the beast on ice thing).

Any who.

Here soem pics from an awesome series I just finished watching.

Last Exile (finding good quality pics was really hard)








Also some good news (at least for me). Thanks to a uni mate of mine I have been able to get my grubby mits on GITS: SAC 1st gig and Wolf's Rain. As soon as I'm finished with Scryed I am definitly going ot watch them.

I don't know about ice skating, but they did have live-action Sailor Moon musicals in Japan.  Hey, it worked for The Lion King, why not?

I've seen a few episodes of that.  It looks like an interesting series.

I've been watching Wolf's Rain on Adult Swim.  Very strange, but not in a bad way.  It's starting to grow on me.

That's what I mean. You can't tell the spelling from when it's spoken.. So changing the spelling at all is a pointless and gay thing to do.
They're getting adult actors..?

I'm on dial-up, Pitt.  It would take hours to download that just to find out what it is.  Assuming that it's what I think it is, and we are talking about the same thing, here's the real story.

Well, you were upset about the live-action Eva project, so I thought that seeing the real thing would cheer you up.  I thought that you liked Eva.  Isn't that why you're so upset about the live-action thing?

 

Originally posted by EvilLunch:

That's what I heard.  I don't know if it's true, but when was the last time that you saw a live-action sci-fi movie with three 14-year-olds in the lead roles?  I think the best we can hope for is probably young adult actors passed off as older teenagers.  Meh.

[Reply #378 on:]

How SBTB.

[Reply #379 on:]

SBTB?     Your use of acronyms has confounded me once again, Nurdy.

[Reply #380 on:]

Saved by the bell.

Worst case scenario: Freddie Prinze Jr. as Shinji and Sarah Michelle Gellar as Asuka.

Let's just pray that it doesn't come to that.

[Reply #382 on:]

I like this picture.. It has the pictues hat flash briefly in the end credits.
So anyway, I met Alan Ruck the other day.. Nice fellow, he's doing The Producers in my town at the Carr. Lovely singing voice. But when he did Ferris Bueller, he was 30. 30! He looked younger than Matther Broderick, who was 20 at the time. Actors that look like him are hard to find. He's somewhat older than my father but looks much younger[and my Dad is pretty spry].
There are very few people I'd pick from for that movie. Rupert Grint might make a fine Kensuke.. Norah Jones would be lovely as Misato[though I can't imagine her ACTING like Misato.. Euuu..], of course it helps that I think Norah's the perfect woman. But.. Asuka.. I cannot think of anyone so daring.. so lovely..!
Norah and Misato

[Reply #383 on:]

Kate Rose?

Like Kate winslet who played Rose in Titanic?

Fuck you, Hollywood.  My guess is they'll get Reese Witherspoon to play the part, she practically already played it in "Election."

David A: My feel for Eva is pure Love/Hate.  Love: Characterizations, depth, uncompromised imagry, design.  Hate: Cliche's, budget ducking, character disregard/bastardization, winey Anno Overtones.  Love it or hate it, I still have to say: ONE OF THE MOST DEPRESSING THINGS YOU WILL EVER GO THROUGH ON A TELEVISION SET.

Whatever.


Plotless PLASTIC Little.  Urushihara's debut animated feature, as well as one of ADV's first aquisitions before getting the rights to Evangelion and becoming Filthy stinking rich. (That Farscape funding had to come from somewhere).

Interesting side note, back in my fic MSTing days, I'd use the "Little" Crew to riff with.  Always a blast.

[Reply #384 on:]

You used anime characters? Bah, I made my own crew up. Nothing like Holograms of Napoleonic War soldiers and a Russian Cyborg to fill the gap.

Anywho, a few pics and some Nurdy linkage. I want to show you all the stuff before I remove it from the PC, I want to make more room for my game mods.

I bet you have a list to all the Imageshack URLs so you won't lose the pictures so long as somebody looks at them at least once a year

Just Chris: That looks interesting, what is it about?

I'ts brand new yet already licensed by Bandai, and the 3rd episode's just around the corner so there's not much to tell. Basically it's set in 16th century Japan with these 3 main characters with a "we're good but we don't follow the rules" kind of mentality.

If that sounds familiar it's because Shinichiro Watanabe is directing it. No Yoko Kanno, though. Replace the jazz with a bit of hip-hop and retain some of the style, and this anime does have style. Most of the character's faces look like they've been hit with the ugly stick however.

[Reply #387 on:]

I like the designs though! Looks rather One Piece. And if Nabeshin is behind it, how can I complain? That sounds really cool! 

[Reply #388 on:]

@El

Wrong Watanabe. Nabeshin is Shinichi Watanabe and this it Shinichiro Watanabe (Director of cowboy bebop. Very similar names I'll admit also to note I've been told that Watanabe is the japanese equvilant of Smith ie it's very common.

[Reply #389 on:]

By the way Nurdbot, do you get some of your pics from Boyis.com? They're loaded with fanservice fodder.

[Reply #390 on:]

Nope, but I will do now in the future. I trawled all around the net for the pics you see.

[Reply #391 on:]

Well I finnaly finished reading all of Ranma 1/2 (I figured it would be easier to read the whole thing that try to get my hands on te series, cheaper too).

Anyway
here's Shampoo



Now for some true horror

Calm down, Pitt.  It's just a TV show.

No more Eva pics for you.  Next time you ask for pics, you're getting Sailor Moon.

Now witness the horror. I found more pics of the cosplay thing.



And while you reeling I will tell you that is not a doll. It is also not a woman. That's right it's a dude. If anyone pisses me off I can always find more.
