Crowds-Sourcing IX: Wings of 6chan

Crowds-Sourcing IX: Wings of 6chan

Welcome back to the first post-license edition of Crowds-Sourcing, where Sentai Filmworks decides that they can still spend some money on that gun they shot themselves in the foot over Flowers of Evil with! Last time… Rui got fucked over by Katze and Gatchaman wasted all their time at a kindergarten! What goofy misadventures will our team of neon striped Super Sentamen Raidas get into this week?! Gatchaman (more precisely Hajime) takes in and heals Rui at their dorm. The…

Crowds-Sourcing VIII: Cheap PR Stunt

Crowds-Sourcing VIII: Cheap PR Stunt

Wow… last week’s episode was pretty good! Can this week keep up the momentum?!? (spoilers: nope) We begin with everybody but OD in the dumps. Paiman’s reduced to binge drinking, Jou (who has recovered from his masive injuries from last week) hates himself more than normal, and Utsutsu has a sunny disposition (wait what?). Naturally Dr. Hajime has a perscription for this crippling predicament… do a public relations reveal at a nearby preschool! …god I hate this show. So anyway…

Crowds-Sourcing VII: “Whip it Good”

Crowds-Sourcing VII: “Whip it Good”

Oh boy! Gatchaman Crowds time again! How low can we go this week?!? THIRTY MINUTES LATER… Who is the man who made this episode and what have you done with my usual hipster hack Kenji Nakamura?!?!!? Following his rather lame attempt at getting Gatchaman to drop the whole Gatchaman thing, Rui decides its time to fight fire with fire and eliminate his “benefactor”/torturer Katze using the CROWDS. That goes about as well as the Hindenberg disaster as Berg Katze annihilates…

Crowds-Sourcing VI: Going Public

Crowds-Sourcing VI: Going Public

My laptop’s screen may have shorted out but that isn’t enough to stop CROWDS-SOURCING! Last time: Recon gave us a ton of philosophy pretending to be exposition and then there was a cave-in. This week… more of the same except in reverse. Hajime’s antics are caught on a security camera and now the whole world knows that Gatchaman are not some urban legend. This proves to be an incredible hassle to Veal Paimansean who can’t figure out whether the consistently…

Anime Blogging, Cartoon Discussion, And The Need For Approachability

Anime Blogging, Cartoon Discussion, And The Need For Approachability

I want to take the Animation Revelation blog in a new direction. Every day I grow a little older, and every day I get a little more tired of the whole “angry, negative reviewer” shtick that infests the internet like chlamydia. Ever since the Angry Nintendo Nerd first talked about taking a shit on a video game cartridge (and probably before, as well), people using rage and hatred for comedy effect have become a dime a dozen, with a new…

Crowds-Sourcing V: Load Runner

Crowds-Sourcing V: Load Runner

HEY KIDS! Its time once again for Crowds-Sourcing, where Gatchaman Crowds does everything in its power to spit on its own legacy! Last time, the cast spent the entire episode moping around and getting their asses kicked. This week… more moping!…yay? We start at the Gatchaman Dorm where Hajime has finally reached the point where none of this Gatchaman stuff is making sense to her anymore. She wants to actually save people in real life but Paiman’s all “Screw you…

3 Reasons – Bodacious Space Pirates

3 Reasons – Bodacious Space Pirates

“Work for? I don’t work for anyone, I’m just having fun!” – The Doctor, Nightmare of Eden (1979) Well, hello there. I’m The Eclectic Dude, a guy from the AR forums and have been an anime blogger for the past 2 years, well 2 years ago this month. I have taken a look at various anime, be it OVA, movie or full TV series, both good, bad and just plain bizarre-what-is-this-I-don’t-even. In celebration of 2 years of being in the…

Crowds-Sourcing IV: Shit Gets Real

Crowds-Sourcing IV: Shit Gets Real

Gatchaman Crowds ends its first four episode chunk with actual plot and a surprisingly large amount of nihilism. After nothing happened last week, a shit-ton happened this time. The Crowds successfully rescue the skytram but since Rui activated their amnesia effect, everybody thinks Galax and emergency personal did it. Meanwhile, Jo gets his ass royally handed to him by Berg Katze who has his own NOTE and the ability to vanish into thin-air. The news that Katze is back in…

Crowds-Sourcing III: Bad Milk Rising

Crowds-Sourcing III: Bad Milk Rising

Welcome back to Crowds-Sourcing, where Gatchaman Crowds tries everything in its power to rape my childhood harder than George Lucas! Last time, nothing happened… then they caught a MESS cube. Then some girl with pink hair turned out to be Recon from Fairy Dance… wait what? Well surprise, surprise! Hajime’s MESS idea actually worked!…much to the annoyance of Pai-zano who’d rather blow up Rubics Cube monsters instead of getting all touchy feely with them. With the main threat defeated…sorta, and…

An Episode-By-Episode Look At… Tron: Uprising, Part 2

An Episode-By-Episode Look At… Tron: Uprising, Part 2

“Blackout” In a spin-off series of any kind, you usually have a rich bit of source material from the original series, movie, book, or whatever the show is based from to work with. With something like Tron, though, there are only 2 films to go on. In some cases that could be enough to already have a well-established Universe and set of characters to work with. Without actually meaning to insult either of the Tron films, though (especially considering that…
