Lucky Star was kind of heavy of referencing other anime.
-
It seems odd that they are doing a remake rather than a sequel - maybe they are out of new ideas.
-
Mahora Academy from Negima. It literally has a massive library/dungeon and and tree that is pretty much Ygdrassil.

Anime moments with mostly silence & ambiance noise
holywhippet replied to Rohan Serwer's topic in Anime Discussion
I can't think of a good example. The closest I can come up with is a scene from Azumanga Daioh: -
A lot of the isekai anime is kind of generic but there are some good examples - That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is fairly good IMO. Same with harem type anime (badly named IMO). The Tenchi series was pretty good for the most part.

I think you might be talking about A Returner's Magic Should Be Special: https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GEXH3W207/a-returners-magic-should-be-special That part happens a few episodes in. Also, that wasn't a girl.

Does anyone else think Luna from sailor moon sucks
holywhippet replied to glitchXsix0feetXunder's topic in Anime Discussion
Luna didn't pick a kid, she found the teenager who was the reincarnation of the princess of the moon kingdom. Given that they were facing monsters and super powered villains there really wasn't any other option but to have Usagi become Sailor Moon. What she wanted/expected/needed was a mature and competant princess like she had been in her former life. What she got was Usagi who was just a typical teenager that hadn't been brought up understanding honor and duty. -
I'm not sure of the exact details, but I think Earth basically faces something like an ice age or near extinction event. Sailor Moon, or Neo-Queen Serenity as she calls herself is able to revive the world thus becoming it's new ruler.

✨✌The Character Rock Lee Is based On Bruce Lee?!
holywhippet replied to Metabee177's topic in Anime Discussion
I've read this before somewhere. The odd thing is though, I think Might Guy looks more like Bruce Lee than Rock Lee does. -
Slightly off topic, but I did think it funny that they turned Capain Marvel into Disney princess and they the people she is a princess of literally communicate by singing.

Excellent, thanks. -

I was looking forward to Konosuba season 3, but it seems that Crunchyroll isn't releasing a dubbed version? -
Can you tell difference between CGI and hand-drawn?
holywhippet replied to djc123's topic in Anime Discussion
I think I can. I do see scenes in anime and immediately think "that's been done via CGI". I can't be sure if there is CGI out there that I have mistakenly thought was hand drawn though. -
Some of my favorites: Order of the Stick: https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html The Whiteboard: https://www.the-whiteboard.com/autowb001.html (Note that the style changes a few comics in).

I've been watching it having read the first few manga volumes. That image you used isn't very indicitve though - it makes it look like Maomao is some kind martial artist walking into the fight of her life.
-
I just finished season 1 of Yuru camp on Crunchyroll. I was disappointed to see they don't have an English dub for season 2.
-
I tried a Google search. Dragonball itself has never featured Christmas, but Dr Slump has and the two are officially set in the same reality so technically yes.

Magical Girls: Force of Utter destruction
holywhippet replied to Clayton's topic in Anime Discussion
I think I saw a small clip of the dubbed version once. I stayed well clear of it though as it sounded like a travesty. The original is a classic though. -

holywhippet replied to Clayton's topic in Anime Discussion
No, I watched the subtitled version. -
Magical Girls: Force of Utter destruction
holywhippet replied to Clayton's topic in Anime Discussion
Just about all of them. The watery card IIRC does try it's hard at drowning someone IIRC. The jump card makes a really bad attempt at attacking Sakura. Other that that I can't think of any that made a serious attempt. -

holywhippet replied to Clayton's topic in Anime Discussion
You might want to rewatch that series. I think you might be miscounting or misremembering the number of cards with homicidal tendencies. -
japanese Mythology and Anime: What confused you?
holywhippet replied to Clayton's topic in Anime Discussion
I've been to Japan a few times and learned very little about religion and mythology there. Most of what I've learned is from anime, manga and video games. The Naruto series is interesting as quite a few of the special powers refer to their their gods or mythologies. -
Did they dub any more Sgt. Frog anime?
holywhippet replied to holywhippet's topic in Anime Discussion
I'm in Australia so that might be why it's not on Crunchyroll for me. Thanks. -
Many years ago I used to buy the dubbed Sgt. Frog anime one DVD. Then they stopped producing dubs - I think it might have been a licensing issue perhaps. I'm not sure if they ever resumed producing them. Does anyone know one way or another? Also, is there any streaming service that has them? Wikipedia says Crunchyroll but I can't find it on their site.

I'm not sure I'd agree. The first NGE ended so vaguely it's hard to be sure what happened from my recollection. The more recent remake did have a lot of devastation but things were looking up in the end.
