YEs, but for content only available in Japan the options are japanse with japanese subtitles. :D

I only see it because I'm on a japanse IP#.

Got an email this morning about a 10 DVD mystery bundle from Crunchyroll for $22. Figure this is probably mostly filled with the stuff they can't sell but could still be worth it??

Doesn't offer much about what exactly it has. Are they mostly movies? Partial seasons? Full seasons??? Anyone know?

In the past it seems to have been mostly a random mix of multiple series where if you were really, really lucky you'd get more than one volume (as in 4 eps) of the same series. Last year they apparently also threw a bunch of OVAs they couldn't sell into it.

I think Crunchyroll may die within year given how all their source of media are turning make their own services.

By the way, Live-Action Cowboy Bebop is happening on NetFlix.

10 episodes order, no sign what it going look like. It could be good, could be rehasing, or it could be bad.
I'm not fan of this sort treatment of my treasured animes.

Luciora · « **Reply #666 on:** 28 November 2018, 12:32:42 »

People wanted anime to go mainstream. This is exactly what happens. If it wasn't we wouldn't have gotten the other live action movies like Dragonball, GitS, or Alita.

These things were pipe dreams in the 80s and 90s. Fans should have been careful what they wished for .

This sounds horrible.

I'm going to listen to Yokko Kano music until the bad images go away.

Wrangler · « **Reply #669 on:** 28 November 2018, 15:08:11 »

What may not sound horrible is Gundam NT. ANN just posted a promo video that's region locked to Japan but their able show the trailer.

I'm still not keen on the design, sorry seems to be continuation of Gundam Unicorn. Third Unicorn. Though i wonder (without trying find the special) if this is the same third Unicorn that was in cameoed in a special for Gundam Reconguista in G: From the Past to the Future. This link to MAHQ profile for the Phenex which is same name as the one in Gundam NT. i think they are infact the same machine. There mode where it does not have those chain things running down it's booster.

They are - there's only one RX-0-03 Unicorn Gundam, nicknamed "Fenex". The 03 denotes that it is the third unit in the Unicorn line, after the original & the Banshee. This is not the first work it's appeared in, also appearing in a manga-series in addition to a pair of CG films created for Bandai's Gundam Center in Odaiba. The one appearing in the G-Reco short is a new unit based on the original blueprints.

Dialogue-heavy teen drama with some requisite romance.

The bunny suit is just an initial hook to the main plot device, and isn't really relevant to it.

What's in my pocket?

Crunchyroll has couple interesting and bit funny articles about Goblin Slayer. I recommend fans over here to read them. WARNING! Some screen captures have gore and user comments don't meet this forum's rules!

More than anything, the central party of Goblin Slayer screams "amateur D&D group." Two players have inevitably selected an elf and a dwarf, and come to the unspoken agreement of carrying on their proud tradition of endless quarreling. The odd player player that enjoys strange monster races and even stranger prestige classes whose idea of roleplaying is speaking in unhelpful riddles. The newest player who's opted on playing a rookie to reflect their own inexperience, and has admirably filled the role of group healer. Then, there’s that guy who has min-maxed the heck out of his character and is very transparently metagaming, since they value experience points over memorable roleplaying experience.
...
Then there’s everyone try to get a rise out of Goblin Slayer and his ardent refusal to roleplay.

Goblin Slayer is supposed to be dark fantasy, but I got some good laughs of it today. More so than from many supposed comedies ;D :D

Regarding Goblin Slayer Ep9. Not my idea but i saw it in the comments and though it was both funny and on point:

Immediately interested! When I heard they were doing a sequel, I was worried that they were going to have Lelouch get off completely scot-free after the BS he pulled at the end of R2, but it's clear here that C.C. still has her code and that Lelouch, if & when he appears, will have to be brought back some other way/likely won't be the central focus! I'm very intriqued! Sasuga Goro Tanaguchi-kantoku!

Scott free? Didnt he die?

On a side note: Im really digging season 2 of Castlevania. Pity it only has 8 episodes.

One thing IIRC though, its based on the Code Geass movie compilations. Which changed a few things, some characters dying, some not dying, sorta things.

Yeah, but some said he didn't & I was worried that with a sequel they were going to eliminate that.

The true main antagonists of The Lord of the Rings were corrupted & compromised men like Saruman, not Orcs or Sauron himself.

Guess what? Anime places that scene in different place and makes changes to it.

Speaking of Space Combat, Volume 6 of Space Battleship Yamato 2202 just released a clip from upcoming Volume 6 of the series. Don't bloody watch it if you don't want spoilers, though this is just combat in general nothing plot revealing.

I so want it, i wish no-Funimation would update what they got posted. They only have up to episode 13.

Page is from Goblin Slayer Side Story: Year One, prequel series to Goblin Slayer. Goblin in the page says he saved the kid. Good deed that, isn't it? He (the goblin teacher) appears in anime too in flashback scenes.

[edit]
So Goblin Slayer in his childhood was saved by a goblin, and that goblin trained him to slay goblins. You didn't see that coming, did you? I sure didn't.

In that page appears a corrupt & compromised man, mastermind behind the local goblin outbreak. Anime replaces him with some skeleton priest performing sacrifice ritual. Neither gets much of screen time.

Goblin Slayer has its focus in protagonist, his party, and their lives which has much more to it besides slaying goblins.

Vaguely interesting. I'd definitely want to know more about that goblin, & what his angle was.

Some pages back there is mentioned a magic scroll used in Goblin Slayer which derailed to discussion about spells and RPG rules. When it comes to Goblin Slayer, magic scrolls are rare and valuable lostech which aren't made anymore. Goblin Slayer got teleportation scroll to his hands and he wanted to get use of it to kill goblins. It isn't about having the most powerful or the most cost effective stuff, but making the best use of what is available and at hand. This should be obvious to those BattleTech and MechWarrior players who have played campaigns with limited resources, salvage, and repair rules: I don't have spare AC/10 to replace broken one in my CN9-A, I can't convert 'Mech to CN9-AL, so should I install AC/5 and maybe second LRM 10?

I thought he was a halfling, an old halfling rogue/thief. Actually now that I looked at the flashback scene, he look more of a ratfolk/wererat than anything, Anime version at least.
