Boku no Hero live action fan short

Pretty damn well made, if extremly short.

That's really great.

Top comment is also superb.

The Macross/Robotech story. Harmony Gold was blah blah blah

This gets especially delicious when you learn that Harmony Gold licensed Robotech to Palladium Games (who I might say would be the legal equivalent of Harmony Gold in the RPG world as far as licensing goes) for an RPG adaptation which crashed and burned amazingly.
Don't know where you got that info, the Robotech RPG was one of their biggest titles until Harmony Gold yanked the publishing rights (after Macek lost primary control of the company, but before Yune bought it back).  It has the second highest number of setting books of any Palladium product period.  In fact, Yune and Sembieda are currently cooperating on a new Shadow Chronicles RPG series, several of which are up for sale already.  Now the Macross II RPG, on the other hand, crashed nearly as hard as the series/OVA.

But Palladium is nearly as bad as HG, so that point is valid.

but I'm not sure if that was the exact one. I thought it was pretty cool, but its something that sticks out in my mind because I dropped it for having an extremely hard escort mission that frustrated me to rage quitting it.

Yeah, RPG consumers are discerning to a fault (and can afford to be, due to high market saturation) so something like that was never gonna fly.

You know what gets even more ironic? FASA's Battletech used Macross mecha, which it actually licensed through a licensee of Studio Nue from Japan, who originally made Macross. Later, FASA actually got sued by Harmony Gold because these are also Robotech mecha. Despite, you know, Battletech actually coming out before Robotech even did.

Although, from what I've heard the Palladium Robotech RPG isn't supposed to be that bad. The thing didn't in fact crash and burn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotech_(role-playing_game)
There were 14 separate books released for it steadily from 1986 until 1995, with the original books in print up until 1998 and the license lapsed in 2001, but the lapse wasn't really the fault of the game itself, Harmony Gold was going through a rough patch due to a failed Robotech sequel, and Palladium cancelled a lot of their side stuff to consolidate work on their main RIFTS RPG, so neither side was in a position to negotiate a license extension. Palladium then re-acquired the license in 2008, and has released more stuff since then (another RPG based on the 2007 Robotech Shadow Chronicles movie and a minatures tactics game). Sure, it's not D&D or Pathfinder, but given that it's an RPG based on a TV cartoon that came out in 1985 and hasn't had any proper sequel since then, it's one of the most successful of that type: a lot of shows get an RPG or game adaptation, how many of them still have stuff being released almost 30 years after the show ended?

Not sure if this was discussed earlier, but it's a thing.

While I've never personally read/watched any Lupin, gotta say, the animation here is pretty damn slick and doesn't feel out of place at all. What probably helps is that it doesn't have a shit framerate that makes my head hurt (looking at you BLAME!)

Some coworkers are discussing going to see this at its premier in September.

Promare, huh. Well, the teaser does seem to abuse pastels hard enough to be a my little pony crossover. I look forward to the eventual equine reveal. Reactions should be glorious :V

... not!Kamina is trying way too hard, enough. Like, the sameness there kinda' detracts a bit from a first impression.

Yeah, the art is a bit weird to me, but given the names involved, I'll definitely see it. Although I don't know when, because the person I would normally watch things like that with in theaters has moved to a different continent from me.

You've undersold it a bit, they were head director and writer, not just some people who worked on those. And shows that Imaishi directed are pretty much entirely responsible for Trigger's style as a thing that stands out, both now and when it was Gainax's style.

Trigger has always had an issue with characters looking similar to each other. There was a red-haired not!kamina in Kiznaiver and there was a not!kill-la-kill-hackerdude-who’s-name-I-forgot in Gridman.

Maybe it'll be a plot point, and not!Kamina will actually be an isekai'd Kamina.

I don't think they consider it a problem. I'm pretty sure the similar elements of design are meant to be taken as reference and homage. It's all but impossible that they don't know he looks like Kamina; they consciously decided that's what they were going with.

I remember some of the really awful escort bullshits, all in all the worst mission design in anything ever, and I can't think of one which wasn't garbage.

I did really enjoy how fluid the transformation sequences were though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ttqXZCgJkI

Pow, battloid, pow, gerwalk, pow, veritech as easy as you wished in-game which really caught the ease of the palladium robotech feel where the switches took a melee action and you'd have four to six actions per round normally.

I'm just really loving Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. Just has that perfect shonen battle anime flavor that I crave.
