This is playing right now on G4TechTv, 1am. It started last night, or rather this morning.
It's from Gainax and is like FLCL meets Alice in Wonderland. Two 12 year old kids are best friends and have lived at this old shopping arcade since they were born. But now some deveopers are demolishing it to put a huge mall there, and in demolishing it, destroy 4 magical seals. With the seals gone, it opens up a gateway to multiple parallel universes that are totally screwed up, and now the two kids have to save the universes and get back to their own.
The dub is annoying though. Since the show's set in Osaka, they give the main characters southern accents. <_<
-
Ah, I've been thinking of buying the manga for that...
-
D has the best avatar I have ever fucking seen.
-
no! mine is better B)
-
I've seen one episode but in order to see the rest, I'd have to buy it and there's other stuff I'd rather get first.
-
I just started getting Full Metal Panic! through Netflix, but Abenobashi is the next series. So I'll start watching it in about two weeks.
-
Am I the only person that hated FLCL with a passion?
-
Alls I know, is that Van Helsing was terrible.
-
I liked FLCL at first but then after repeated viewings it got annoying.
I've seen one volume of Van Helsing. I didn't think what I saw was terrible but maybe it gets worse later. At least Crispy Coat Fryman avoided an English accent in the dub.
I've seen one episode of Full Metal Panic as well as read that manga insert in Newtype and it didn't grab my interest in the least. Another annoying school girl... bleh.

THANK YOU.
-

you alway hate the wrong things.
-
Tell me one redeeming thing about the show?
-
Alls I know, is that Van Helsing was terrible.
The Hugh Jackman movie? Agreed.
The anime Hellsing? I hated it when I tried to watch it in order. The 1st 3 episodes are nothing but Seras whining & angsting. Bleh.
-
Robots that grow out of children's foreheads and shit them out after a fight scene.
-
The serial Japanese show Helsing is pretty cool, if not a little annoying at times,
I was refering to the Hollywood expriment in audience insulting, Van Helsing. That guy is the absolute worst Dracula ever. Ever.
-
Ha ha, duh. Okay, I mixed them up. I remember this goofy kid at work who thought Helsing = Van Helsing. Now I'm just like him. Fuck.
-
Haha!
-
He was this wacky tiny Asian guy who was basically homeless and needed to practically beg for loans and food, yet would regularly go to the mall and buy games and manga.
-
Where the fuck did he store that stuff?
-
Asian people have pouches in thier bellies.
Wait, is that Asians, or kangaroos?
-
Probably both.
-
That movie had so much fucking swinging in it.
-
He carried bags around. He also crashed with people, so I can imagine he'd store crap there, too. Kinda like a squirrel.
-
If his face looked fat, his cheek pouches were probably full.
-

I know I do.
Hellsing wasn't that great, but the manga is cool. There's actually something going on there, although it is the tired old "South American Nazis" schtick. Dunno if it's ever been used with vampires, though. Never saw the Van Helsing train wreck, though. I figure if I stay away from that, Punisher, Catwoman, and Hulk, I'll be doing well for myself.
Getting back to Full Metal Panic, it has the schoolgirl thing going, but it apparently has more to it after the first few episodes. I won't know for sure until I see the 2nd & 3rd DVD volumes, which came in this morning's mail.
-
The school girl thing is the most annoying part. Those military peeps were kinda cool though.
-
I prefer the second series of Full Metal Panic. Straight-up comedy and none of that save-the-world-with-generic-giant-robots crap. Although I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much without having watched that first series for context. Huh.
I hear there's going to be a third, that'll be more like the first. Boo.
-
I remember tom posting pics from the second series. The first did look like a series that would be better served by being funny. And like actually being funny, not like trying and failing.
-
The second one was certifiably funny. There were no German goldfish, none of that shit. I'm talking about genuine humor over here.
Back on topic, Abenobashi was a decent show with a handful of great moments, but for the most part its crap outweighed its merits. And the southern accent thing, when used in any series, bugs my ass to no end. Thank God David Lucas didn't apply it to Mugen in Samurai Champloo.
-
But I wanted to hear Spike say "y'all"!
-
You mean Shishio. Er... Roger the Negotiator. Er... Jamie from Megas. Hey, there's another gravy show.

"OH NO!!! THEY WANT TO SHAKE THE DEW FROM MY LILLY!!!"
Damnit I don't have the images anymore >.< And Kary has my FMPF CDs, so alas you will deprived of the yaoi-themed screenies :(
-

Megas? Maybe the season finale.
-
No! I mean, yes the finale was great, but other than that it's almost always great! Bow down to the Megas, wenchy-wench!
-
BLECH! Never. Moron and Doofus-Sidekick are too painful and unfunny to watch on any regular basis.
-
The show's funny because I KNOW people like Coop and Jamie... It hits home pretty hard.
-
Yeah, that was my feeling on the matter. Also, I find their constant videogame and anime referencing gags quite refreshing. And what about Goat? Goat is GOAT.
-
I also like the odd grab-bag of voice actors they get. Cam Clarke, Phil LaMarr and Peter Cullen in the one episode? Where else?
-
Oh man, Peter Cullen. That episode was a DELIGHT.
LaMarr and Clarke have their vocals plastered all over everthing these days, those whores.
-
Oh and don't forget about Clancy Brown.
-
I also know people like Coop and Jamie. Except they don't play video games, they're pushing fifty, and they drink beer and listen to Kiss all day long. Not funny.
-
Oh shit yeah.
What's with this Full Metal Alchemist ad they keep running on AS? Fucking hilarious.
-
Merla <3 Ed Elric. :joe:
-
Oh shit yeah.
What's with this Full Metal Alchemist ad they keep running on AS? Fucking hilarious.
Haven't seen it.
And I missed this week's ep. Screwy AS and their schedule changes... moving Family Guy and Futurama back and forth...
Next week's FMA episode should be very interesting. I am wondering how the English VAs for Ed and Al will perform.
-
Merla <3 Ed Elric. :joe:
C-cause he can transmutate his arm? *BANNED*

What? All they did was kick out the Venture Bros. and bump up FMA and GiTS.

Dude, I never even thought of it like that! EW!!!
-
There's never any love for Gluttony.
-
I haven't been watching the dub. Sucks that they won't be using any intros other than the second. The third was fucking DYNAMITE.
-
Also

Fucking dogs see more action than any of the guys in FMA.

Riza looks hawt.

I really don't like Adult Swim's practice of shortening the ending credits.
Just cut out those annoying cards and make room for the endings. I would complain, but I don't feel like registering on their message board.
-
So who reads/watched Yakitate!! Japan?

And if you did, they'd just make fun of you on air. They should never give people like us television shows. It then leads to crap like Tom goes to the Mayor being popular, which is perhaps the worst AS Show ever, and that is counting Blue Gender. :blink:
-
Blue Gender was still better than Wolf's Rain.
-
Finally Reign is elevated from worst AS show ever! My day is complete. :bernie:

Actually if you know things about Alexander the Great, it doesn't suck so bad.
-
I actually don't mind Peter Chung. I liked Aeon Flux, actually... But IMO, he should stay far, far away from licensed properties.
-
Tom Goes To The Mayor is possibly the worst shit ever shat.
-
Bigger better bolder bigger BIIIIIIGGERRRRRR.
TGTTM is comic gold, Nur. Comic platinum even. I loves it.
-

Exactly. I really liked it. The regular Madhouse VA's are primo as usual on the 1st disc, except for giving Hephaestion a falsetto voice. :angry: But maybe the guy who wrote Alexander Senki merged Bagoas & Hephaestion into one character. Another reason to win the lottery & go to Japan for language immersion.
-

AGREED!
-
Man, youse guys have no appreciation for the avant-garde.
-
How about it's just boring and unfunny?
-
Bingo.
-
Our Tom has obviously never been to the Mayor.
-
Definately not that one. It looks like he works outta a 1970s trailer.
-
Our Tom has obviously never been to the Mayor.
I think we would have heard about it.
-
But he's full of ideas!
-
Bad ones.
-
Weird ones.
-
..."Hey Tom, lets get reverse-circumsized at Pioneer fucking Island!" That's the only way I'd laugh...
-
A poster at the Toonzone boards praised it for its "clean humor" but I fail to see how tits would not make it better.
-
It wouldn't.
-
They would if they did party tricks or something.
-
Like if they talked?
-
Hey, I saw that thread! And I agree with everything that was said within. EVERYTHING.
-
You would agree with Sucklover7.
-
I know joe's barely containing his excitement over the impending airing of the DBGT "lost" dance party episode. :P
-
Pffft! It's only the single greatest contribution to the DB mythos ever.
-
Really now? I still say it's a money making scheme.
-
OMG YOU ARE RIGHT...
-
Toriyama would be rolling over in his grave over your sarcasm.
-
I don't even know what we're talking about anymore.
Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai, GO!!!
-
I don't even know what we're talking about anymore.
That happens when you get older, joe. :P
-
I'll have none of your sass-talk, young lady. :angry:
-
Joe should clean up that dust.
-
Y-you mean he peed on the carpet again?
-
Fuck a German goldfish.
-
It sure as hell wasn't the pet rock.
-
you guys watch way too many Seth Macfarlane shows.
-
You watch too many Paul Dini cartoons. SERVED.
-
this "You Got Served" stuff is so 2003.
-
Extra Zero got served.
-
I got served... in a restaurant. Other than that, I think black culture is fucked up.
-
It ain't 'you got served' -- just SERVED. An Extra Zero spin on an old classic. I plan on using it liberally henceforth.
-
Thank you for picking up the serve, Joe.
-
Let the suffering commence.
-
*commences suffering*
-
SERVED.
-
I got served... in a restaurant. Other than that, I think black culture is fucked up.
Oh, I know. THey "respect" their parents and "love" their families.
Pfft. What the hell is that crap!?
-
Tom just despises people who love macaroni and cheese more than he does.
-
:lol:

Respect as in shoot, and love as in cheat on with the bitches?
-
Well atleast you didn't say fried chicken...
-
Watermelon?
-
Well atleast you didn't say fried chicken...
See, now you went and made me hungry.
-
I had beer battered fish. ^_^
-
We know Adam was white because even God couldn't tear a black man from ribs of any kind.
But that stereotype was always stupid to me, since you can hardly separate me from them either.
-
Outback makes a killer rack of ribs.
-
Then you need try some pickled pig feet. I know it sounds gross but it tastes so good.

-
Dear, those do NOT look like feet. :lol:
-
x.x
Never on your fricking life. I have a publix, I can buy a steak.
-
Dear, those do NOT look like feet. :lol:
Jesus Fuck! Is that ALL you think about?
-
Plus, they look like feet.
I would know, I walk around all the time.
-
And you are a pig, after all.
-
Right, right.
......hey. Waaaaaaiiittt a minute! :angry:
-
MegatronY-Y-YE-MmmBk-Y-Y-YE-MmBlEkmbBl-Y-E-YE-YE--errr AFFIRMATIVE
-
:huh:
yeah, good impression.
-
Jesus Fuck! Is that ALL you think about?
And that's bad because....
Anyway, all I said was that they didn't look like feet. They look like intestines. :P
-
"What's that brown liquid the pig's feet floatin' in...what is that, pig piss?"
-
No, but it sure tastes like it.
-
No, but it sure tastes like it.
THEN WHY EAT IT!?
-
It was the only food at my grandother's house that I was sure the roaches hadn't gotten to. Years later I found out I was wrong.
-
WOW.
