What Are You Watching?

Completed episode 3 of Trigun! Frank's drunk voice and Vash and that headband crack me up. Anyway, I love Frank's little rebound tale. I could watch episodes like this forever. Also, the music is really shining.

My problem where I accidentally sticky threads has yet to be resolved. But tbh, I don't think sticking this thread is a bad idea at all.

Anyway, I had a busy weekend, so I'm down to finally watching the last 3 episodes of Part 2 tonight, and while I want to say that it's bittersweet, I honestly can't be too sad at all about its run. The series was never revolutionary, but remained consistently entertaining, right down to the end.

I'll probably also be busy over the next few days, but I'll try to find time to make it through Mystery of Mamo and Castle of Caligostro, the former I'm especially excited to finally see. And then I will do Part 3, even though I know that it's the least popular of his series. The completionist in me demands it! Plus, it's only about 1/3 as long as red jacket.

And in terms of non-Lupin series, besides the ones that I've recently talked about watching, I was thinking about adding Hajime no Ippo to the list, but then I remembered that I still somehow haven't made it to AnJ 2 yet, which must be higher priority. There's totally room on my list for both, though

I watched the Hitler's Legacy episode today. Apparently there's only one Cartoon Network episode left judging by the two seconds of preview I saw - the little girl fairy take or whatever episode. I only saw some of the end of that episode back in the day. I'm not sure how many episodes this has been but it seems like Adult Swim barely had any. Of course the atrocious ratings are to thank for that.

I agree that Zenigata shouldn't show up all the time. He is my favorite Lupin character but damn

Part 3 isn't bad, really. It's weird and very childish, but it's still an enjoyable enough way to kill time.

A list of five less popular Sci-Fi anime worth watching: https://youtu.be/650kWcbrU6g

I mainly bring it up because Level E is on the list!

[LumRanmaYasha]

Any list that has Captain Tylor in it is worth paying attention to in my book.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Captain Tylor was more well known back when it came out, and by older anime fans. Since there hasn't been a new anime or light novel, it's no wonder no one talks about it these days.

Shame he didn't mention Planetes.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Planetes is pretty well known among modern anime fans from what I can tell.

Is that some sort of exercise?

There's going to be a mass exodus of anime titles on Hulu on June 1st. The following titles will be leaving:






Most FUNimation and Sentai shows are leaving as well, but there's so many that the guy making the list isn't done tallying them yet.

[VLordGTZ]

Yeah, it's strange how much anime content is leaving Hulu soon. 

I found this breakdown of what's being removed on Hulu based on publisher:


What I'm most surprised about is the fact that Viz's content is being removed even though Hulu is their main streaming platform for their content.  I wonder if this means Viz will slowly start putting more of their shows on other streaming services.

[gunswordfist]

Ugh, not my Lupin..Is Trigun leaving too?

[VLordGTZ]

Well, all 4 parts of Lupin III are on Crunchyroll, so you could always watch it there, GSF.   

It looks like Trigun is safe for now.  The portion of Funimation's catalog that is being removed seems to be shows with very low popularity.

[gunswordfist]

I haven't had CR in months which is the only reason why I started watching it on Hulu.

I watched Mystery of Mamo last night, and loved it! It really is a throwback to the first series, and it feels like more than just an extended episode of it. The story works well, and it's loaded with cool sequences. I'm glad to own it!

I watched the early 90's dub, since I heard that it's the best, and while I don't think it's perfect (Goemon in particular sounds like a British professor), they do a good job of handling a lot of the characters, and it sticks true enough to the source material to land. For COC, I'm sticking to the 2000 Manga dub.
