Uhh so the TTGL movies are going to theaters next 2 weeks. Also they will have a dub version, which I didn't know even existed for the movies

[The Stig]

As far as I know they were never dubbed. So if they're dubbed it's a recent/new thing! So if they're gonna be in theatres that's worth it if everyone can also get onboard the hype, which from previous movies american theatres tend to do (i.e. the big cheer when cap picks up the hammer in avengers).

Why is it coming to theatres ? Or is it purely to celebrate that there's a dub now.

Pretty sure this is the first time they are being dubbed.

Some anniversary celebration I think?

If you guys were wanting to re-watch the JJK Sukuna vs Mahoraga fight, now is the time. The Bluray version just came out and the animators not only did their usual clean-up/undimming of scenes, but they also re-drew some of the art and added completely new scenes to the fight.

If you just want to see the changes, this video (this channel in general) goes over the new stuff added to the Bluray version:

This is cool but curse the remains of that evil Harmony Gold for not releasing the original series and the movie!

Anyone see the Gundam Seed Freedom movie ?

I enjoyed it overall, there are some faults to be sure. Suit battles were cool in my book, most of the new suits looked nice, gotta sell them toys. I would def watch it again.

Wall-o-text below

Spoiler: show

There were some bits at the beginning where I was questioning what was going on with certain characters and events that were mentioned (New red hair girl/Flay stand-in and this "Stolen Freedom" event, which I think would be a VERY BIG DEAL that the top mech of the last 2 years was stolen). Which there was a good fan theory I seen flying around was that the new bad guys brainwashed someone to steal the Freedom and bring it to their country so they could fight against the suit itself. Which I can see the logic behind it, it also could explain why most of the bad guys were so good against Kira, aside from the mind reading/manipulating powers. Following this theory, the group did Batman levels of prep work against Kira but not much against the others. The first fight the bad guys appeared to be using just plain superior suits compared to Kira and Co.

Pacing was a bit rushed for me, nukes were dropped on a new country and then the Requiem "retaliation", all happened with what felt like under 5 minutes of screen time. I understand why it had to feel this way since it meant to be shown as a retaliation strike. But there wasn't even time to understand the full casualties besides it casually being shown Nukes went off over the first city with ??? people and then laser strike hits Moscow with little mention how many died. I was actually sad to watch the fate of the Archangel but thankfully (some might say bullshit) most of the crew was able to survive, but the ship and crew lived through two major wars, sad to see it go out like that.

I was a little disappointed when the main plot just ended up being the back half of the Destiny series again with the motivations. I was waiting near the end to see if the Earth racist guy was going to pop up again, you know, the whole reason why this movie started in the first place. But maybe he was never real in the first place and these people were just manipulating everyone from the start.

I did think most of the mobile suit combat was great, even though they are CGI vs hand drawn in the OG but no arguments there. The opening fight with Kira more or less soloing most of the army was great for me as a Kira supporter. Them walking his character back a bit made sense as well since he wasn't much of an emotional force at the end of the Destiny series, and with a title like "Freedom" in the movie, he has to have some kind of character arc. As a kid who never got any actual on screen military training, then him struggling with wanting to help Lacus end the war but only knowing how to do that by fighting along with his hero complex makes sense to me. Athrun was honestly the best character in the movie, one of the more level headed people in the movie and series as a whole for the most part, even though he didn't get a lot of screen time compared to the others. Shin was actually growing on me here since he wasn't in the whole revenge/vengeance mode the entire time he was on screen.

The ending fighting with the Mighty Strike Freedom was so OP and over the top I was just busting out laughing, granted I did love when Kira was OP in the TV show and would just dunk on people (My old avatar here was of the SF for the longest time). Granted I am a person who likes over the top OP characters and I know there are plenty of Kira haters out there and I can see their argument.

They are doing old school style Toonami again in the afternoons. All shows will be uncensored. Yes, you read that correctly. The OG Sailor Moon series will finally air uncut for the first time in the US.

Gainax Has Filed For Bankruptcy After 40 Years Of Operation

[Tyrath]

*cries in childhood noises*

If it makes you feel any better, there probably wasn't even anyone from the Gainax of your childhood left at the company at this point. They're a shell of their former glory. That said, it's always sad to see stuff like this happen.

[NotGreyheim]

"We were blessed to be able to produce a number of hits like Neon Genesis Evangelion (to which Khara Inc. now owns the copyright), but starting around 2012, there has been a naively optimistic restaurant operation strategy, the establishment of a new CG subsidiary conducted with no realistic planning, large scale lending of company funds without security to corporate executives, failures in investment projects.

Because the corporate management's continual misappropriation of company strategy and property, the company (Gainax)'s operational state continued a precipitous decline."

Nothing more fitting than a Gainax ending.

[Outlaw]

Yes, they have been in a steep decline for a while now.
