So JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven's story mode was pretty cool, before taking a huge nose dive in last chapters. Heaven Ascension DIO's a massive bitch compared to the hype he got.

Besides that the game's basically a slightly less clunky J-Stars, but the fanservice is great. Pretty much what I expected. The translation is way better compared to how garbage All Star Battle's was. Even if the censored names are still there, at least Polnareff isn't called "Eiffel" anymore.

Also the game's only been out for three days and Online mode is already a wasteland. Go figure.
 
Eh, if I could soldier through the absolute mess that was Sailor Moon Crystal, I think I can do the same with the new Berserk anime. The constant CGI practically hurts my eyes though, holy shit.

And, of course, Tumblr is losing their minds because Caska now has light skin.

I'm only in it to see how they manage to fuck up Mozgus.

Yeah, the CGI's pretty terrible, especially compared to the (already low) standards for the films.
 
Tiger & Bunny gave me so much hope that CGI anime can not only have great writing but also look amazing too.

And then I watched Ajin....
 
Tiger and Bunny was dope show. my main complains is that side character like sky high and dragon kid get really shafted in there focus own episode. Rock Bison and Fire Emblem got basically nothing other then they pals with the other. Origami Cyclone's episode got the best focus episode. the movies were the worst though. Beginnings was basically a recap movie with a last luster original climax and Rising was awful and lame climax to the series. i would have loved a season 2.

As for Ajin i use to have faith in Polygon Pictures then Knights of Sidonia season 2 happen. so it probably sit in my netflix queue until i am done watching Black Butler for the second time and Oran Host club for the third time.

So much could've been done for a Rock Bison episode. He's a middle-aged hero like Wild Tiger who's constantly on the bottom of the scoreboard. An episode focused on the ridicule and feelings of being washed up could've made Bison a way more sympathetic character. At least in Fire Emblem's case, we do get to see his hard upbringing because of his sexuality in The Rising. But this was after 25 episodes and a recap movie made him out to be the most stereotypical fab & gay guy ever and that ruined any message they wanted to give.

On its own, The Rising was an okay movie. My issue is that it really was just a standalone movie instead of a conclusion. We still know nothing about Oroboros and Lunatic's still on the loose. We really need a season 2 or at least another movie. The Beginning, however, was a garbage recap and it only showed that Barnaby used to be an asshole to everyone.

Ajin does have a really interesting story. If you really aren't able to stand the animation, check out the manga, that's what I did.

A Rock Bison episode wouldn't have been hard to write either. the whole thing could just been about Tiger and Bison rekindling their old friendship after Tiger finally expedience of what it feels to be a successful hero. then Bison could have gained a second wind and pass Tiger in the leader board leading to a friendly rivalry between the two. Fire Emblem should have been the mentor type, a guy who has lived life more then anyone and giving saga advice to anyone who starts to lose there way. He could still be loud and proud, but have very cool and collective edge to him. then the message they tried in Raising would have handled better.

As for another movie I don't think they could have pulled it off right. Oroboros seemed to be way to big of a thing just to be deal with in a hour and half film.

and for Lunatic he was the perfect villain foil for Tiger and even Barnaby to but heads with. i just wished they did more with him. Hell i would have liked Raising more if he was the big bad, but the creative team was banking on a second season that was never meant to be. I am still wondering why they didn't do that.
 
Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and The Pillows are both confirmed for returning in FLCL's sequel. I don't even care if it's shit now, at the very least we get more music from them.
 
D.Gray-Man Hallow premiered today.

It's decent so far. Not happy about the voice changes, but at least most of them sound like the old ones.

A few days ago, Viz media announced they're planning to release the JoJo part 1 anime on blu-ray. They also mentioned that the disc will include an English dub starring Patrick Seitz as Dio, which started up a lot of rumors that they may redub part 1. It's definitely possible they'll just use Warner Bros' dub, but if that was the case, why specifically mention Patrick Seitz? He was hardly the only big name in the dub. I admit I'm hoping for the rumors to be true, the show deserved a much better English dub

Besides that, Viz also announced at Anime Expo that they're going to finally release part 4 in English and Hirohiko Araki's How to Create Manga book. Add that with the Rohan Kishibe OVAs coming with the part 4 BDs, things are going pretty well for JoJo fans.

Now if only they'd finally reveal the main villain of part 8

Haven't paid attention but EoH has an actual campaign now instead of being episode recaps?
