First /m/ thread of the year claimed by me announcing I'm watching Xabungle.
>>23019022Enjoy, I have fond memories of watching it at the time. Entertaining cast and surprisingly fun action scenes.
>>23019022one of very few comedy anime that is actually pleasantly funny and entertaining for once. big likable cast
>>23019022>screenshot in filename>this qualityGrab BD release, it looks absolutely gorgeous. Eichi best girl.
>>23019346man promoting his own release
>>23019346I can't. I mostly watch anime on my phone.
Happy New Year, you stupid fucking BRAT.
>constantly allude to a Three Day Rule in dialogue throughout>have an entire conversation dedicated to laying it out anywaysGuess Tomino can't keep his writers from giving exposition forever.
>>23019505I was reading about the background of the show’s production and apparently Tomino was getting finished scripts from the writing staff and constantly editing them and rewriting them to fit his style which seriously pissed off head writer Yoshikawa to the point the two fell out big time and never made up. Likely explains why the show goes from just alluding to bits of world building in dialogue to just outright explaining it in some episodes
>>23019549Also explains why he made Victory's production into a cult of personality.
>>23019022Do enjoy, anon. Honestly one of my favorite shows ever.
for me, it’s Birin
>>23019346>It's been processed to shitThe people ripping /m/ BDs need to STOP DOING THIS.
>>23019323>everyone constantly worrying about low fuel, resorting to ramming into each other and trying to lob grenades into cockpits and skirmishes turning into chaotic clusterfucks of destructionwhat other shows do this?
>>23019549lol like him or not, but tomino really is an auteur, huh. no matter what show, i always hear him editing the other staff's things
>>23019576>>23019346youre both wrong, its Rag
>>23020089That's a fancy way of saying "control freak" and "douchebag". Pic related is an anecdote I found about him on Brain Powerd.
>>23020101Name one genius who ain't crazy.
>>23020283Yas
>>23020101t. never made anything worthwhile in his life.
hee hee hoo hoo lol hahaha heeheeheeheeh lol lol lmao wwwwww hahaha pee pee poo poo ahahaha lol
>>23019570And yet you're the people still talking about it.
>>23020891>talking about a show = you loseNot everyone on /m/ is a spammer.
Yeesh, he only said he wanted to marry you, Elche/Elchi.
>>23020923Okay nevermindThe hell is up with Hola's chin?
My first /m/ post of the year will be me posting the Xabungle MC's cock
>>23020101Based
Xabungle was disappointing to me. For whatever reason I couldn't get through it the first two times I watched it, even though I actually enjoyed it a lot and found it quite funny. I just dropped it to watch other stuff that caught my interest more. I don't know if anyone else is like this but I don't particularly like watching more than one show concurrently. When I did finally get through the whole series after restarting it for a third time, the humour was lost on me and I found the love triangle dynamics between Jiron, Elchi, and Rag to be infuriating and unamusing in the slightest. That being said the rest of the cast was pretty good. Music was great, the show looks amazing as well. Definitely one of Tomino's better shows but I still didn't care for it as much. I wish I saw what most of /m/ sees in it though.
>>23019353Lol, not me. I stand by my shilling. And yes, grab that BD release, it's the only one with the official subs, which are way better than the fansubs.>>23019641I used a 2pass encode from U2. Nobody filtered that, the BD just comes like this. Sunrise BDs, particularly recent ones, are pretty degrained, unfortunately.Look at Moozzi if you want to see how much worse the actually filtered one is.
>>23020101Even if it's bullshit, I believe it. Sounds like something he'd do.
>>23019022I put off watching Xabungle for too long, it's a lot better than I gave it credit for
I've been advised to stop derailing this thread into psycho-analyzing Tomino.
>>23021645Did Lensman TV just get finished? My AniDB notification triggered but I don't see an upload anywhere, let alone any post on /m/.
>>23024650Not directly involved with that, but apparently yes. Not sure why Nanto hasn't put it on nyaa yet, or why star or anyone else at /m/subs hasn't said anything. There's a mega link on the blog.https://skarohuntingsociety.wordpress.com/2024/12/29/lensman-galactic-patrol-1984-episodes-01-25-complete/I know contact with Nanto was intermittent for most of 2024, apparently he's been really busy, but I only know what other people involved tell me.
11 episodes in. The big thing I'm taking out of this is how inconsistent names are between this and SRW Alpha Gaiden's fan translation.
>>23020101Brain Powered was good.
Ditching half the crew to run back for the first well-groomed man she's met in her life. Jeez, Elchi.
"Ascension of Light"? Oh god did FE16 steal from this show?

>>23020101Brain powered is very good, salty hater.
>>23026753Fan translations aren't a fault of the show.
The fourth wall gags are increasing.Also it's hilarious how he calls his new mech a "main character suit" when it looks MOTW as hell.
Suddenly a bunch of fish people out of an SR

The bungler makes me happy. Not being ironic.

I feel rather foolish saving an image multiple times over the years trying to find "the best"

Had to delete something which was maybe too spoilery since first timers are watching ITT
I think this should be enough images for now. One of my favorite shows ever. Happily turned 40 back in '23!
Tell that to SRW.
finished it yesterdaypretty fun, especially with unique mecha fights with them using grenades or parts of enemy robots bit rushed final episode, so the final showdowns vere extremely brief. Tomino does them usually longer, though he just has one not two. Daitarn had two fights in finale and it was rushed there as well, so I guess that's the problemstill, final scene was kino
You seriously think you're the protagonists with lines like this
I can't tell if this is Fatman talking. If it is, then man is this a weird way to first show he's intelligible.
Okay that's a huge shock. I thought it was against anime law to have the comic relief tagalong kid be a girl?
Whoever's writing Elche, I wish they worked on Victory.
>>23019022You are in for a treat.>>23019341I was surprised by well done it is, especially for Tomino considering his stinkers like L-Gaim and ZZ.
Oh hey they acknowledged how similar Elche's two-parter is to Rag's adjacent two-parter.
Please stop showing the toddler girl topless, show. Creeper shit like that was one of the biggest problems with Gundam '79.
Okay this is just the same thing that happened last time. Is it a habit for 80s mecha to make different members of the same writing team write their own versions of the same premise? I remember a few episodes of ZZ Gundam doing that.
>>23033705Please stop being porn poisoned american. Before Kultur-Terror took over the world, people were able to separate nudity from sex.
