I mean, there's no guarantee that Freeza's back for longer than one episode. It could just be a comedy episode or he could just tell Goku to fuck off and they'll need to get someone else. Or stick Buu in the time chamber so he wakes up faster.

But Why bring him back a third fucking time?............ (:_( and just when I thought they were going to stop trending old ground. Who wants to make a bet as to when Cell comes back in some form?

Actually, this is the fifth-sixth time for Freeza, third for Super itself. There was a couple of filler episodes a while back which had all the past villains return in illusion form. Including Cell, the Ginyu force and even Saiyan Saga Vegeta (with Nappa).
 
Happy Goku day, fellow weebs!

The guy who's doing the manga for Super as well as one of Toei's staff have stated that the team that's been shown could change, and I think they were referring to this. I was kind of annoyed at it, but at the same time Buu is super overpowered and he was one of the few members of U7's team that was a sure thing. Frieza coming back gives plenty of room for new interactions he haven't seen before, as well as the stakes are significantly raised because of him. At peak power he can match Goku and Vegeta in SSB but he can't maintain it for anywhere near as long as they can.

I've been forcefully pacing myself, but I just finished up the Golden Age arc. My favorite secondary Hawk was Judeau, he didn't deserve what he got. But then again, almost none of them did. (:_(

Griffith did nothing wrong.

Talk like that even ironically can get you a nice warm shallow ditch to spend the last minutes of life in.

What I love about Berserk is that it doesn't paint Griffith as evil, or even Guts as positive. What he did was evil to Guts, but to Griffith, he was only staying true to his dream and who he is. And it's easy to argue that with how he is now, Guts is actually becoming darker than Griffith ever was, even in his own mind.

I get both sides of it.
 
They're both pretty fucked up in their own ways but at this point Guts has let go of his obsession for Griffith and is trying to salvage what little he has left of his old life(Casca). Unfortunately for him, the world's just going to get even more fucked up until something is done about the God Hand. Griffith has only gotten worse as time went on and he's pretty much achieved his dream of ruling a kingdom. God only knows whatever fucked up shit he plans to do to the poor sheep that followed him to Falconia.

Sadly I've spoiled myself on later events, but I'm still only on volume 28. Guts has only just gotten the Berserker armor and is still knee-deep (and probably at his worst) in vengeance.
 
I'm currently watching A Tree of Palme, about 40 minutes into it right now, and I'm just so bored out of my mind. Like, the animation's great (as to be expected by the director), but how did he go from the interesting Robot Carnival "Nightmare" segment and awesome Catnapped! to... this? I mean, if it's more about the mindfuckery than the Pinocchio-esque story, then sure, whatever, but the mindfuckery just isn't interesting here.

Guess it was just one of those duds he had to get out somehow.

It happens.

EDIT: Checked his bio and saw he did "Fantastic Children", I sorta dig that series when I first saw it a decade back. Not sure if it holds up though.

Sounds like a one-and-done series to me.


Anyway, funny how many people discuss Berserk here. What was everyone's opinion on the new series and films? I personally was not a fan. The new series did a better job at actually following the damn story than the films, but that animation. :stress:
 
I already have A Journey Through Fairyland on VHS - it is probably the easiest to find of the various Sanrio titles released here, but everything else I am somewhat excited for, especially the stopmotion Nutcracker film - largely due to the involvement of Christopher Lee.

Think about it. Imagine the marquee: "Christopher Lee in The Nutcracker." Now doesn't that sound awesome?

I'm disappointed I haven't heard anything on the Chargeman Ken and Goshogun licenses yet, though.
