I'm not. If I had to guess (spoiler below):
Well I'd simply think clothes would just lose. The premise is so basic-shounen action. After all we've been through, a loss for the protagonist just no longer seems fitting.

What makes you think it's going to be Instrumentality though? Or rather, what events do you predict will take place?
I think that...(spoilers below):
if there is a "bad end", where the clothes win, humanity will become a hivemind, just like in Instrumentality.
 
If there is anyway. It'd be somewhat interesting, but in this day and age, people aren't ready to accept these anymore.

^ I was wondering what headphones does Super Sonico use?

Panasonics are mainstream in the hipster community. But AKGs ftw. I think Super Sonico's are completely original.
 
Pupa ep. 6, was probably one of the most nonsense things I have ever watched.
It was even worse than those 5 minutes ecchi OVAs.
 
Yuyucow from Twitter has analysis and speculation on how the winter shows are going to sell, and this really doesn't look good for so many shows.

Better hope those adaptations that won't do so well with discs are going to get a boost in sales of the source material.
 
Sill waiting for a anime girl to rock a pair of Sennheiser HD 800 headphones. Am I asking for too much?
 
So I went on the Internet...and found these:

Dragon Ball Z Kai Buu Saga has been officially confirmed. Like people didn't already know it was going to happen for the past 1-2 years or anything, especially with that leak by a voice actor....
 
So a friend of mine bought me a New Material Model Turn A Gundam for Tree Day. The arm fell off due to dry rot as well as some other things. He finally sent it back two weeks ago (the same day I send in my 720+'s for RMA) and got it back today. So, I went to pick it up.

The left shoulder armor plate fell off due to dry rot but I didn't mind it this time as superglue is my friend. I put it back together and, well:

Contents included:
That book which had some information I assume of the design of Turn A Gundam and some other things.
Turn A Gundam

Accessories:
  • Different hands (one for grabbing things and one where the fingers are stretched out
  • Gundam Hammer (not a Hyper Hammer, sadly)
  • 2x Beam Saber hilt and Beam Saber Beams (they detatch because the hilt has it's own holster which connects to the back, as you see in the rear pic)
  • 1x Beam Rifle
  • 1x Shield
  • 1x Core Fighter which is detatchable
  • 6x Nuclear Missles that can be inserted into the silos that are located in it's chest area.
  • 0x Cow. :(

The shield also can be holstered on it's back through a provided bracket but I decided to keep it on it's arm to have the maximum amount of accessories on it. The figure feels really solid in your hand due to the metal legs but also feels really delicate. Other pieces are old and plasticy and prone to, well, dry rot so one has to be really gentle when molesting it.

All-in-all, I like it.
 
It looks awesome :D!! +1 on the core being detachable 👍. The MG version comes with Loran's cow :p. Just sayin'.

Holy crap, it comes with a spiked metal ball? That's overkill. :lol:
 
I've seen someone get a custom graphic printed for their Capital One credit card so I don't see it not happening with VISA.
 
DK
Holy crap, it comes with a spiked metal ball? That's overkill. :lol:





And besides, Gundam Hammers (and the upgraded version which is known as the Hyper Hammer) have been in the Gundam Universe since the original Gundam series aired.
 
Yes it is. Not my type of funk though.

And I managed to catch half an episode of Space Dandy.
> He was racing, then he got blown up, then he became the Buddha.
What is going on, I don't even know? :confused: I probably need to watch some more.

Also, the ending caught my attention. It's just so chill. :cool:



I thought I recognized that voice! It's just two weeks ago that I randomly stumbled upon Etsuko Yakushimaru. :O
 
Indeed, the ending of Space Dandy was the only thing to catch my attention. I'll eventually try to watch it, when it's over and people can tell me if it sucks or not, but for now it's not worth wasting my time in it.
 
Methinks you should get back to trying things for yourself...Imagine we go back in time, we liked Trigun and told you it's worth the watch, and now here you are all disappointed.

This notion may be a reason why you've gone so conservative with this stuff.
 
I've got my fair number of shows I'm trying for myself, but I always struggle to find time to watch them. My backlist is already looooong enough to add several worthless shows to it.

Plus, I've found you guys to be an accurate thermometer of what can be expected from a show. Let's say I more or less trust you :lol:

Aaaaaand many of you said Trigun ruled and I tried it again and it still was the worse crap on earth, so that happened already (:
 
Well Trigun only gets good about halfway through soo...

Im watching Space Dandy on old Tooami so that ed is new to me , i guess the eng version is a bit different.
 
Things are different if you're watching on Toonami because they have to cut the OP and ED a bit to fit US broadcasting time as we have more commercials than Japan. Japan is like 25 minutes, for us it's 22 minutes.

Fujiko Mine is pretty interesting . It still has that 80's look but very dark, the music lively with the scenes

I'm surprised more people here haven't seen that show. It's by far one of the most popular anime of all-time, and just about every anime fan has heard of it. Shame we'll never get another season to it.

--------------------------
Started Mawaru Penguindrum, I'm impressed by the animation and direction of this one.

Shame if I want to own it I have to deal with one of the worst anime BD's out there because Sentai 🤬 the Blu-ray authoring on both parts (Can you learn to encode 1080i right?). Supposedly the second BD is even worse than the first one.
