I tend to think that the creator doesn't really have any more right to change things than anyone else, I suppose that's maybe partly a side effect of being a Star Wars fan. Having said that, I don't think the idea of alternative versions is inherently wrong but making changes and pretending...

I wonder how people would feel if the Major was played by a male actor, her body is artificial anyway so her appearance isn't fixed. I can understand people's concerns about the film but ideas along those lines are exactly what these kind of cyberpunk settings are good at exploring, it seems a...

Actually that's probably a better comparison and quite a good point.

Harmony More thoughts in this thread, but basically it was kind of interesting but not necessarily good. I've mostly been re-watching things recently. Most recent was Shirobako, which holds up really well. I'm particularly fond of the way it ties details in the animation, storyline and...

Harmony This film is either really well written or really badly written, maybe it's both. I think it's probably best represented by the main character, Tuan. She spends the majority of the film talking about how rubbish society is and how people are just putting on a show of caring rather...

I can't say I'm fond of the things the current government is doing, but I can see a case for putting a bit of control on EU immigration while it's status is being negotiated. As I understand it, they're not saying that people absolutely won't get in but that it just won't be guaranteed from...

I managed to fit in more Skyrim recently. I spent most of my time shouting at fish. I'm now a master Alchemist. I also picked up Stardew Valley on a whim. I spent most of my time shouting at fish. Stardew Valley is kind of a standard farm sim game but it's fairly well made and has an...

To be fair, I'm not sure the folks at Anime Limited know exactly what's going to happen with their releases most of the time. I don't mean that in a bad way, they're just always having to deal with external factors and other companies so it's not always going to be easy to know exactly what...

I did enjoy Gosick overall when I watched it, I wasn't entirely keen on some of the story but the main characters and some of the supporting cast make up for that quite a bit. The way the show is executed probably helps to make it easier to ignore things that could otherwise be significant...

I think it's pretty good that you can essentially get three standard edition releases (one being 24 episodes) for £40. You'll probably eventually be able to get all three sets (less the box) a bit cheaper than that, but that's a really good price for newly released sets. I'd certainly like to...

I suppose you could say that something objectively meets certain agreed criteria used to measure quality but the actual criteria wouldn't technically be objective since they're just agreed based on collective opinions. I don't think it's unreasonable to say that Yuri on Ice is a high quality...

I genuinely think everyone should at least try the first and last episodes of the first season of Kinmoza, they're a bit different to the rest of the show (and each other) and kind of uniquely awesome. I'm not saying everyone will love them, but they're worth experiencing. I think the main...

I have to admit, I don't always remember to check the name (although even those change occasionally). If everyone suddenly switched to Karen avatars it'd be pandemonium (or perhaps heaven, for some).

At 99 episodes I'd imagine some people hesitate to commit to spending so much time on a show, especially since longer running shows have a reputation for having lulls. Space Brothers is actually pretty consistently brilliant, if you enjoy the first couple of episodes then you're in for some 94...

The article says that specific rights vary, so I guess Crunchyroll mostly has streaming rights for the shows. I'm not sure how that works for their deal with Funimation, but I'd guess that they're basically sublicensing to Funimation as part of the agreement while Crunchyroll are the official...

It's not necessarily easy to send the right message though, you can post about things and refuse to buy things but the company might not get the right message (especially if a lot of different issues/perspectives are being discussed). If sales are terrible, the company might not have the chance...

The Case of Hana and Alice / Hana to Alice Satsujin Jiken I quite enjoyed this one, I guess it appeals to my tastes with it's focus on characters and slice of life type stories. I've posted more thoughts in the ratings thread.

The Case of Hana and Alice / Hana to Alice Satsujin Jiken I quite enjoyed the film, it's something odd and a bit different and that probably works in it's favour. I'd say it's kind of a slice of life film, there is a main storyline that reaches a resolution by the end but much of the film is...

I've been playing a bit more Skyrim recently, it's kind of amazing just how terrible the beginning of the Dawnguard questline is. You find a mysterious individual who carries a rare and powerful item and was possibly the target of your enemies, so you take them "home" to the spooky castle that...

I'd guess because robots represented emotionless beings to him and if he was a robot then he wouldn't have to worry about all those annoying feelings. I think he did have some experience with robots in his life, so that may have made him more inclined to think of them that way (I think they...
