Panties, Mechs, and Samurai Swords: The Newer Anime Pics Thread

[Reply #320 on:]

this isn't anime, actually, but it seems to fit too damn well within the *ahem* anime areas for me to self-justify that it should be here instead of the funny pics thread in offtopic - this is a scan from the "Harley and Ivy" 3-part miniseries comic that was on scans_daily - and it shows that the Teen Titans writers aren't the only ones influenced by anime:



and just for good measure, here's some Paranoia Agent pics - and btw, this show kicks ASS:

[Reply #321 on:]

I freaking love Paranoia Agent, and I'm happy/can't believe it's on cartoon network.  As I said in my review page everything about paranoia agent shows you how skilled Satoshi Kon is for getting inside your head and setting up shop.

[Reply #322 on:]

PSycholgical is it? Like Neon Genesis>?

[Reply #323 on:]

I'd compare it more to Lain than NGE, but Paranoia agent has far more shape to individual episodes, since each one centers around a new person.  The animation of Paranoia agent is also far more composed to continuity, though it does take a huge skew toward abstract by the end.

[Reply #324 on:]

Col. Klink, Paranoia Agent's directed by the same dude who directed Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers - Satoshi Kon - and it's similar to Perfect Blue in the mind games that it plays (that kind of psychological.) I'm waiting to see the whole 13 episodes, but it's already up in my top 5 favorites list.

That would be Nevada, a real life 11-year old girl who brutally murdered a fellow classmate, and was thus thron into an all-encompasing internet spotlight.

Unless I'm mistaken, that's Bruce Timm's artwork.  He also happens to be the executive producer of the Teen Titans cartoon.

[Reply #327 on:]

I wasn't very impressed with perfect blue. But then I only saw the cartoon network cut. Wait am I talking about the submarine show?

[Reply #328 on:]

No,the [adult swim] show you're thinking of is Blue Gender. The submarine show is Blue Submarine No. 9, if I'm not mistaken.

Perfect Blue is neither. Perfect Blue is a movie, and a really fucking damn good one at that:

The hell with that - this is a pics thread. Perfect Blue pics for all!

[Reply #329 on:]

Woah.  Thats a big chunk pf Perfect Blue pics you found, Raven I hadn't seen any of those Cham group shots before.

[Reply #330 on:]

Pitt: Wow. Um. Heavy.

Ah, anime with the word blue in it must be a success.

Oh, and some generic stuff from Nurdy.

[Reply #331 on:]

[Reply #332 on:]

Awww, that is awesome. Hand drawing in detail like that is possibly a great talent in general. I wish I had talent.

I'm gonna post my 'cake then cry bitterly into a glass of bottled water.

Adam Warren drew that, not me.

Here's some more of his stuff:

Rick and Minmei:


Chun Li:


Mai Shiranui:


Rei Ayanami:


I think this one is self-explanatory:

[Reply #334 on:]

That hand drawn picture Rei is pretty good, as well I might add.

This has something to do with anime and shit.


But just for good measure, some animated .gifs:
New version, atleast to me.

Yeah, I think that's all.

'Lolicon': Japanese abbreviation of "Lolita Complex." A dangerously all too common (in Japan) affliction of affection from middle aged-men toward teenage girls.

Oh cool!  Pics from Azu...ma...Uhm whatever that stupid cartoon is.

Not teenage girls, prepubecent girls.  Teenagers already have breasts, which is probably a big turn-off for pedophiles.

[Reply #338 on:]

 Pedophilia=/=Lolita Complex.  Pedophelia is a mental illness, usually invoked by child-hood phychological trauma.  A Lolita Complex is an isolated incurrance of desire from middle-aged men to teenage girls.

There is definatly a line there.  The sad thing is that Dating Sims are crossing it in regular intervals.

[Reply #339 on:]

Well, if you say so.  You seem to know more about the subject than me.  That doesn't explain why there's so much Card Captor Sakura hentai, though.

[Reply #340 on:]

Yeah, yeah, I know what lolikon is, and even the more feared Toddlerkon. -_0

Aaahh, Puni Puni Poemi, what memories.

The end of Read or Die: The TV, Episode 11:







This episode is perhaps why this show has already shot up to my 3rd most favorite anime series ever, behind FLCL and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

[Reply #343 on:]

Still haven't seen PPP yet, Nabeshin owns I might add in all his psuedo Lupin-Spike Spegal glory. On a side note, I miss Hellsing.

Oh, and some pics.

[Reply #344 on:]

Ok, forst try was negatory, so here we go once again....

<_<

[Reply #345 on:]

Yeah, forgot how many images is the limit.




Cosplay!




Yeah, I know, I'm a nerd, and this is mostly Osaka, oh well. 

[Reply #346 on:]

Stooop it!

Damn that was some good Azumanga Daioh.

Keep this up and I'll mentally regress into a Japanese Schoolgirl in no-time.

WAI! Guinea-pig-kun, DOMO! DOMO!

Dammit.

[Reply #347 on:]

I was forced to do this:

[Reply #348 on:]

Macross 7, FIRE BOMBER!







I may watch this series again.  Why you ask?  Because about halfway through the series I watched an episode and went...GOD!  That's the cheesiest thing I've ever seen!  They'll never make anything cheesier than that.  Then I watched the next episode, and it was even cheesier.  This went on right to the tail end of the series. 

Everything was so damn cheesy that I could scarsely comprehend it.  after I got to a point where I said "I'm Watching another macross 7 episode now and it better be the cheesiset thing I've ever seen in my life."  I was never dissappointed.

[Reply #349 on:]

Damn you Pitt, I have to imagine the cheesiest thing in anime now you didn't tell us.

*tries and fails*
Beh, have pics instead.

[Reply #350 on:]

The cheesiest thing I ever saw in anime:

Ray: I'm sorry, but Mylene and Bassara couldn't make it to the concert today.  So we'll use these cardboard cutouts.
(Two cardboard cutouts of Mylene and basara are shown, both have moving arms that strum their instruments)
Ray: OK, lets go! (He pushes play on a boom box and mics it.  Vefidas starts to drum and Ray starts playing with the two cardboard cutouts standing there strumming the instruments)

(the crowd goes wild)

I coulnd't make that up.

Clean urushihara!

[Reply #351 on:]

Bump.




Lastly to ensure my manliness, something I did myself:



EDIT: For some reason I couldn't get it to do 4 of the animations, I'll try again, later.

[Reply #352 on:]

Sway Koyomi!  For world peace!

Excellent Paranoia pic, GTP nice work

Here's more of one of my fave char designers: Urushihara Satoshi.  If this dude would put the smut down for a week, he could make something really outstanding, I swear.







*Sigh.  So far from the mainstream because he's probably painting perfect teardrop breasts even as I write this.

[Reply #353 on:]

Pitt: Mainstream would force him to do cute animals or something else that'd be a waste of talent. Maybe he's waiting for some anime that has the best balance of humour, action and fan service ever.

Did somebody say boobs? Please, don't hit me, It's just filler....

[Reply #354 on:]

Guineapig trick...Awsome new avy.

[Reply #355 on:]

Concerining that firts Pitt pic, Those are the shiniest people I've ever seen. And they look quite cold, too.

[Reply #356 on:]

Urushihara is also the master of the "glimmer" effect.  Lotsa shiny girls.  Also if you thought they looked cold, you should see his dirtier works.  I saw one of a girl in a mech suit that covered her arms and legs, but her entire torso was buck nekkid.

Naked in a metal suit?  Brrrrrr.

Nix IMD me the other day, and he goes into how firefly is really cool.  I agreed with him, and listened to how it's a well made series, and I don't doubt it.  But you can guess I ran to my DVD player and cued up a certain series, right?







Oh, my yes.

PLus there's one thing that Outlaw Star has that firefly can NEVER boast!



HOMOSEXUAL ARMS DEALERS!...uh...yeah.

[Reply #357 on:]

Aaaah, Outlaw Star. That takes me back two years ago. Remember the sequal rumours?

[Reply #358 on:]

Sequal Rumors?

*researches.

*stops

Sequel Rumors?

*researches

Oh, so there was some talk of that.  Everything from a whole new second season to movies to OVAs.  I guess Angel Links was all they ended up with.

Edit: GPT, that scene where Yukari pushes Penguin-chiyo down, guaranteed laugh every time.

[Reply #359 on:]

Thanks, Pitt.

Wow, what a coincidence, I started downloading Outlaw Star about a week ago, of course, knowing Bit Comet it hasn't seen past 44% in days, but, whatever.

Let's see if the other gifs will work now.
