    • RE: New One Piece Movie "Stampede" (August 2019)

      @All:

      Yeah, gacha mobage especially is a hell of a drug. Fate series actually just very recently dethroned One Piece in revenue thanks to Grand Order.

      That's interesting. Not crazy surprising though; the Fate series has the benefit of spin-offs that can catch audiences who aren't into the primary grail war genre (not sure if it's considered shonen). I'm sure OP will catch up once it finally ends and Toei goes crazy with the spin-offs. Can't wait for Shougeki no Sanji's son & Mushishi: Tales of Roronoa Jr lol.

      On topic, I'm looking forward to seeing Stampede. The films are usually just cool fan-service to me anyway, so this one embracing that idea appeals a lot.

    • RE: Act-Age

      @Cyclone_Baroness:

      Is anyone still reading this? I started but the shonen jump app has a gap between chapter 7 to 46. Anyone know where I could read it?

      Was just debating on starting it myself after browsing the jump app's offerings. Haven't made the leap yet, but I did search to find the chapters. Here:

    • RE: Marvel Movies Thread - Holy Shitballs

      I'm interested in their move to deeply intertwined television canon. While it is kind of annoying I'll have to binge watch shows inbetween movies, from a business perspective it's also very smart. Forces people to get that Disney+ service & takes the pressure off trying to release movies with actors & chatacters who might not have the same appeal as the original team.

    • RE: The "Shueisha" Thread

      I'm pretty sure U19 will be axed, and I'm rather disappointed. It wasn't a mind-blowing start really, but I was at least drawn in by the KND esque vibes & the libido concept (if only because it was the perfect word to choose, lol). Definitely thought it'd do better than the less interesting new 6. It, Dr. Stone & Robot x Laserbeam were the only 3 I actually wanted to see more of.

    • RE: Notions That Don't Deserve Their Own Threads

      I was randomly watching One Pace (the fan-edited anime) today, and on a whim picked the first episode. When Higuma shows his bounty to Shanks, he says, "I'm worth 8 million. I'm quite the big shot."

      I almost died laughing.
      This is irrelevant to any discussion, I just happened to find that hilarious in retrospect.

    • RE: DC Movies Thread - Shazam saves the day

      I'm so disappointed. As a kid/teen, I loved DC over Marvel and JL was always my favorite. Yet, here we are. MoS was bad, BvS I have no interest in ever watching, SS was whatever, and WW isn't appealing to me either. I might catch JL one day just for the Flash. Never would've expected I'd have just loved the last GotG & be heavily anticipating the next Avengers (a team I didn't even like as a kid).

      Also… why're all their movies soooo blue? It's almost immediately depressing just from the screenshots.

    • RE: Ghost in the Shell Live Action Movie

      Cyberstantinople, lol, that'd be great. Having just finished the journey that is the 1966 War & Peace film, a cyber-punk Russia would be amazing too.

      Anyway, I think the most annoying part of all this to me are the people on my own side. Being an African-American male I'm completely against white-washing in Hollywood. But, moreso for the reasons Aohige stated. It's not about this particular role, or movie, but about the opportunities for diverse actors in America as a whole. Especially when the reasons tend to often boil down to, "we had to pick a big star to make sure this does well." So, they typically pick a Caucasian star who's been in a bunch of movies, thereby solidifying their brand more, and proving their own thesis. It's a circular argument that can't be fought against if other races are never given roles to become stars in the first place.

      The people arguing that GitS has this inherent Japanese-centric story-line, and shouldn't be tainted for that regard, bother me. While I'm admit in the show there's definitely certain tenets specific to Japanese culture, visuals, and I'd even say religious aspects that's completely ignoring the definition of "adaptation". I'm a fan of the show, so I'd like the spirit to generally stay the same, but I was prepared for the westernization it'd need to appeal to larger audiences. Which, being honest, isn't much. They're cyborg police officers. Easy block buster, honestly.

      Another reason that the ScarJo casting bothers me, as f'ed up as this is, relates to the prominent fetishisizing going on in America (especially California) about Asian women right now. Pick a cute Asian girl, put her in a leather jacket and leotard, give her guns. That's easy marketing if you ask me.

      @Cutty:

      Saw the movie yesterday. Batman was great he really was. I actually like him more then Bale.

      The rest was meh.

      Edit those to tags to say "spoiler" not "spoil", lol. Some people might not appreciate that.

      Ahh, okay. Dope. I'm down for this then. Useful way to waste my Wi-fi.

      I kind of don't want to bother nominating anything because… ZARDOZ.

      I do wonder though, when you say host a streaming thing, is that like chat or video?
