RadishTM Veteran Posted May 12, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 12, 2010 The second half was quite flawed with glaring plot holes that completely ruin the whole setup by the first half and made me remember how much I dislike Holland. He is the Misato (Neon Genesis Evangelion) of Eureka Seven. The only redeemable factors of the movie was seeing Eureka and Renton together, the amazing animation and the amazing soundtrack. One of the best romance sub plots for an action anime and one of the best soundtracks for an anime series ever. Agreed, really disliked Holland in this movie as well. Though I love the soundtrack, SUPERCAR FTW (Y) Berserk87 - Mal I'm off tomorrow so I'm trying to find a good movie to watch tonight. The biggest requirement is that its a standalone movie, as in I don't have to watch anything before it to really enjoy the movie. Another Ghibli film or Lupin III special, particularly Episode 0 'First Contact'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadishTM Veteran Posted May 12, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 12, 2010 Seeing Ulquiorra's Cero Oscuras animated was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Eye Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Ulquiorra has always been my favorite of the Espada. Here is a thought if Aizen knew about his second release would he have ranked him higher? or is that not how the Espada's ranking works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedxyz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Currently watching the first two episodes of Yukikaze. Simply stunning CGI. Think Appleseed meets Sky Crawlers. Amazing. (forget the characters and weird story) Berserk87 - Mal I'm off tomorrow so I'm trying to find a good movie to watch tonight. The biggest requirement is that its a standalone movie, as in I don't have to watch anything before it to really enjoy the movie. 'The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya' is on my plan to watch list, and I've heard a LOT about it, but I need to watch 2 or 3 seasons of the series first...which isn't going to happen in one day. Here's a general movie guide: If you're willing to watch a movie that requires the brain to be turned on, watch Ghost in the Shell 2.0 and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence back to back in HD. If you're looking for a psychedelic mind trip, then watch Tekkon Kinkreet. If you just blood, watch Ninja Scroll and Vampire D: Bloodlust. If you want fairy tales, watch Howl's Moving Castle. If you want female assassins, then any of the Kara no Kyoukai movies. If you want CGI, then watch Appleseed and its sequel. If you want a cop suspense thriller/sci-fi, then watch Patlabor 1 & 2 and Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. If you want a light hearted, feel good romance, then Ocean Waves. If you want dystopian sci-fi that revolutionized how anime is animated and produced, then watch Akira. If you like watching sports anime and want to feel the thrill, then watch Nasu: Summer of Audalusia. If you just want normal characters with interesting settings, then watch Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers. If you want a Ghibli movie, then check out my guide. My recommendation: Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell... Did I mention Ghost in the Shell? Bonus: Liked Cowboy Bebop? Loved it? Want moar?!? Watch Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heaven's Door. Matrix XII 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ruins the whole flow of the anime series and presumes roles that don't fit his personality. He needs to be put in his place for being such a man child. It made the anime series get under my skin in the same way in Neon Genesis Evangelion when Misato did something outrageous in the last few episodes. I second your Lupin recommendations.

Berserk87 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I watched one of the ghost in the shell movies a while ago, but I don't remember which one it was, and I was a little thrown off because I didn't know any of the characters or backstorys.

The first one is a stand alone movie that was released in 1995 before any TV series adaptation. @Masked Forever: Why did you recommend him Ghost In The Shell 2.0? You should have recommended him the original Ghost In The Shell :p You'll be surprised at how many people refuse to watch the 1995 version simply because it's too "old".

Udedenkz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Akira - 1988 Remastered in 1080p with insane sound quality. 2.0 rapes your eyes with bloom, but the sound quality is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamushroom Veteran Posted May 12, 2010 Veteran Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) You'll be surprised at how many people refuse to watch the 1995 version simply because it's too "old". That's their loss if you ask me :p To me, Holland was a great character in the series. The way he would constantly push Renton to do what he's supposed to do. He was like this kind of father figure to Renton which he seemed to need throughout the series. In the film he was somewhat of a douch trying to get what he wanted. Nonetheless, I liked his character in both stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralDogma Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Here another review sans a numerical rating: Now and Then, Here and There Status: Finished The plot: ?Now and Then, Here and There follows a young boy named Shuzo "Shu" Matsutani who, in an attempt to save an unknown girl, is transported to another world which is possibly the Earth in the far future. The world is desolate and militarized, and water is a scarce commodity.? This one is extremely depressing anime(I don?t know how I end up watching these :( ). Now, that?s not a bad thing; it tries to be depressing, and it succeeds at it. If you have any emotion in you, this will get to you. From what I recall, the art was very nice in this one. But I watched it over a year ago, so don?t take my word on that. This anime has a very simple premise wrapped in a sci-fi coating: the horrors of war. There?s some sci-fi aspects to it and, if you?re a sci-fi buff, you might get you fill from that. I highly recommend this one, but I?d have something happy/comical to watch after it.

deletedxyz Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 ^ That anime is on hold for me. It gets quite silly form with its weird "after school sci-fi" clique. I just finished watching the second season of Darker than Black and the last episode is a Neon Genesis Evangelion type ending. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
