Simulwatch Planning Thread - Suggest & Discuss

(I bloody hated Texhnolyze.

Lol I get it wont be for everyone as it starts slow and by the end goes off the wall. But after the NGE watch I think it'd be quite fun to rewatch it with an analytical eye.

I really liked it back in the day even if I was left somewhat confused the first time. It and Ergo Proxy were in a band of sci fi anime all on their own and loved it.

Ergo Proxy. Now you're talking.

If people don't own a physical copy of Akira, then there's something wrong

Am I a blasphemer for selling my copy?

[Gemsy-chan]

I’m a heretic then as I didn’t like Akira

The story is a bit confusing, took a good few watches to work out what happens. But you can't deny production wise it is top notch.

Hope you give the new project a chance as it'll adapt the whole manga. Although it probably won't be as good production wise.

Posting about it in the Tank Police simulwatch got me thinking, and I wondered if anyone would be interested in doing the first You’re Under Arrest OVA series? It’s only four episodes so isn’t a huge time commitment, however I genuinely have no idea about its obtainability any more or if it’s available to legally stream. Pretty sure the DVD is long OOP.

As luck would have it, I have the OVA episodes on VHS, so I'd be down.

For some reason I was going through my old amazon orders on the train this morning to see what order I saw shows in back in the day and got reminded of Murder Princess. Dont remember much about it expect that I really enjoyed how unexpectedly crazy it was. It's only 6 episodes so dunno if people would want to do a watch of it at some point.

 

[ayase]

Murder Princess.

Have to say, I’ve never even heard of that one. Always interested it trying new things though.

I was also wondering about a sort of... read along of the Dominion manga after the simulwatch? I’m quite eager to revisit it after watching the anime. Might be a couple of weeks til I can get my hands on my manga volumes but I just thought I’d float the idea. I’ll probably post my thoughts as I re-read them anyway.

The version I have is the region 1 DVD. Dont know if it ever got a physical release over here or how easy it is to find online. I just remember it as being over the top fantasy, that at the time I'd not seen anything like it. No idea how it will hold up on a rewatch.

That's an interesting idea. If I can get a hold of it aswell I'd be up for it.

 

[Professor Irony]

Murder Princess.

Hadn't heard of this one either, but Koichi Mashimo is involved again, so it would seem weirdly appropriate after Dominion. Stop me before I inflict Eat-Man on everyone.

Sure, why not. Also worth mentioning that collected editions of both the original Dominion and Conflict One are available on Kindle or Comixology for £8 and change each. The first volume also includes Phantom of the Audience.

Now that people are getting their copies of Gunsmith Cats I wonder if anyone wants to watch them as a simulwatch and discuss it?

I'm also up for watching Bublegum Crisis as well.

 

[Neil.T]

Oh.
Bubblegum Crisis had occurred to me, too, actually. Also Bubblegum Crash. I've got both of those on DVD, as well as Gunsmith Cats. And AD Police to boot.

I can see potential in this.

 

[Captaaainuniverse]

Punchline... it's not that long and set over Christmas. Though most of what's happening makes that hard to believe

 

[Professor Irony]

Up for BGC or Gunsmith Cats. Punchline.... eh. It's not a bad show, but I think once was enough for me.

 

[ayase]

It probably goes without saying I am very much down for (re)watching anything Kenichi Sonoda has ever had a hand in, although I can't promise any posts I make about BGC will be very interesting. It's one of those things I love to such a degree I'm not sure I can look at it objectively any more.

 

[Neil.T]

Yeah, but that'd be entertaining to read, though.

 

[Professor Irony]

I forsee Knight Saber avatars on the horizon.

For a bonus round, we should watch Wanna-Be's
