    Well, that was faster than expected. Didn’t the first game just come out like 2 months ago? That’s not a lot of time to make a game. I hope that means it’s terrible and gets crappy reviews aquateencarl1

    Anyways, on to the real reason I ventured into this thread.

    I put up with it for awhile, but Nil and Tachi-nii’s “jokes” in chat last night/this morning was the last straw for me, and I feel the need to put my foot down. You guys are having too much fun tormenting a fellow forum-goer than you should. And I want it to stop, especially in chat. I admit, it was kinda fun coming up with silly, overblown reactions to the game before, but I quickly grew tired of that.

    Now, anytime I hear about or see this game anywhere it just makes me angry. Very, very angry. Like I want to punch a hole through the faces of all those stupid, effing developers who are messed up in the head enough to create such a stupid, effing game. It’s a really good thing I don’t drink… or live in the vicinity of anyone who worked on the game.

    And so, I would like to request that any and all mention of this game series be confined to this thread, at least while I’m around. Please and thank you.

    Movie Month lineup has been announced!

    Quote:

    MOVIE TIME ANNOUNCEMENT!!

    We’re sorry we don’t have them for next week, but we’re kicking off movie month with the last two episodes of the Hellsing Ultimate!. 9’s the first week, and 10’s the next week. And there’s a whole bunch of movies too! Every week for a month we’re showing two movies (if you count Hellsing as a movie, which we are). Full list below, and full schedule to come in the next couple of weeks. Spend your holiday in Hyoerspace with us!

    December 6th – Hellsing Ultimate 9 and Summer Wars

    December 13th – Hellsing Ultimate 10 and Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos

    December 20th – Dragonball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan and Akira

    December 27th – Evangelion 1.11 and Evangelion 2.22

    Despite most of the movies being reruns, this is a pretty solid lineup.

    I’m surprised they managed to get the last two episodes of Hellsing Ultimate so fast after the “sorry, we don’t have those” announcement. Really looking forward to them, although it makes me wonder, if they had run them in November as originally planned, would we have seen two different films take their place for movie month, or would the first two weeks only have had one film?

    Unlike last year though, not counting HU, there’s nothing I haven’t already seen, including the two “premieres” (Broly, which I at least consider a network premiere and FMA: Milos). Akira was the only new thing for me last time.

    Despite already owning them, I’d be willing to watch the EVA films and Broly again hosted by TOM. I’ll probably pass on Summer Wars and Akira, which I like but don’t really feel like watching again yet, and on FMA: Milos which I HATED despite being loving both FMA series. I thought it was a pretty terrible film, and the art style was so… odd. I hope it does well for them, but I will not be watching it.

    11/18 EDIT: Actually, now that I check, the Broly films never aired on CN or Toonami. So it’s an actual Toonami premiere as well an AS/CN premiere, although not a TV premiere, since at least the first two did air on Nicktoons back when they were still showing DBZ Kai.

    Actually, a question there, is Noike on in this Ai TM cast? Unsure whom of the Tenchi crew, we have yet to see, would be inclusive, for a discussion like this.

    I don’t think there are any returning characters we haven’t seen yet, with the possible exception of Ryo-Ohki, but even she’s kinda up in the air at this point.

    Noike isn’t in Ai. Same with other older characters like Kiyone and Nagi. If they were going to appear they likely would’ve been announced alongside the rest of the cast back in August.

    Looks like Washu’s ‘teaching equipment’ will come in handy!

    Oh, you’re right, that is the equipment Washu mailed him! With how Tenchi was questioning it’s necessity while talking with Ukan, he seemed to be acting like it was something the school provided him.

    That does make me wonder when’s the next time we’ll see Washu in full. Her backside cameo last week was all we’ve seen of her for awhile, and we haven’t seen any surveillance crabs either for that matter. You’d think they would continue sneaking them into the background, but I haven’t noticed any recently.

    And Mihoshi has been MIA too. Is she ever going to make a proper appearance at the school? Fuedal Japan episodes aside, we haven’t seen her since her cameo at the Science Club’s dig site. Hopefully she didn’t die in the cave in… 😮

    Did I call that? Or did I call that? tuxedodouche

    Hana’s personality has basically done a 180* from how we saw her before, now that her googly-eyed fangirl switch has been flipped, and I’m not sure I like that :/

    Seriously am I the only one who will be miffed if it doesn’t end with Rukia and Ichigo together as a couple?

    Personally, I was always partial to Orihime, but Rukia x Ichigo does seem inevitable, which I would be ok with.

    But the manga isn’t ending, so we’ll have to get that question answered another day. It’s just the anime that’s over. It may get a Shippuden/InuYasha:TFA-esque sequel series to adapt the rest after the manga does eventually end though.

    That of course crossed my mind, but the Rock handsign is more of an Western thing, I’d be surprised if that’s what it was actually intended to be. The Takahashi handsign, while technically identical, isn’t really “thrown” in the same context as it would be at, say, a rock concert. Hana doesn’t appear to be telling anyone to Rock On, she’s just kinda… doing it. Sort of like the Jojo/Bancho distinction, I wonder if the average Japanese viewer would even associate it with music? Aside from Rock music, the only times I’ve ever seen it significantly used in any other context was in Takahashi manga, where it doesn’t actually mean anything beyond being a recurring visual gag characters would randomly do under certain circumstances, usually when surprised.

    Then again, maybe I’m overestimating the cultural impact of Takahashi’s manga, and vastly underestimating the popularity of Western Rock culture in Japan. I fully admit that’s not an area I’m well-versed in blush1

    That was a very fun episode, although I still find all these girls fawning over each other to be extremely cliche for a show set at an all-girls school :/

    I will definitely be basing Femchi’s hair on Tenchi’s new hairdo gendo1

    And Hana seems to have gone full fangirl mode. That book she has is strange though. What are the odds she already wrote, and illustrated the cover of, a FemchixHana fanfic by the time Tenchi and Momo walked halfway across the school grounds? Kiyofacepalm1

    Hachiko, naturally, just keeps her costume from the play, which is a European-style military formal uniform. This easily could be poking at shojo series like Utena.

    I would think more Rose of Versailles, than Utena. But I guess they’re all “classical European uniforms” in the end.

    Beni, however, breaks the mold a bit by wearing a male gakuran school uniform. I doubt anyone can question what trope she is. jotaro1


    Although most Westerners immediately associate that look with Jojo, I would imagine most Japanese viewers probably just see it as more of a generic Bancho/high school delinquent look, which does kinda fit her personality.

    Quote:

    Ukan steps out representing… well… let’s just say someone had better “Call [Her] Princess”, or maybe queen. I’m looking at you, Ayeka.


    I know it’s probably not based on Dead or Alive, but that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw her dress. There are two characters in DOA with costumes that look practically identical to Ukan’s dress. I guess it’s a specific type of dress, although off the top of my head I don’t recall actually seeing one outside of DOA before.

    Also, any fan of Rumiko Takahashi should instantly recognize Hana’s hand gesture here. I don’t know if it actually originated from Takahashi, but she uses it frequently in her manga.
