H!P Fantasy Groups/Listings/Performances

[Starra]

Well, it's not like it's going to happen .

Also, I've been meaning to watch Nadia. Is it any good?

[Celedam]

It's a Gainax version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, so if you like Gainax and steampunk, then go for it.

Note: If you've already seen Disney's Atlantis, then Nadia is going to seem veeeeeerrry familiar.

[Starra]

I have seen Atlantis. I dunno. Maybe I'll watch it eventually when I run out of things to watch.

[Celedam]

Nadia is much better, and it came eleven years before Atlantis. I'm just saying it will seem familiar (which is, in fact, a euphemism for "Disney ripped them off").

[Starra]

That wouldn't be the only time Disney has ripped off an anime .

[MrMoondoggie]

The main ripoff i know of is also one of disney's most famous and in my opinion their best movie ever.

That said it's not like anime never takes cues from Disney.

[Starra]

I think it's amusing. Early Japanese animation borrowed the styling from Western animation (such as Mickey Mouse), then several decades later, Western animation borrowed from Japanese animation.

[MrMoondoggie]

It's kind of funny how it goes with both styles borrowing from each other. Even in more recent times like when Gainax did Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt they took a lot of ideas from western animation and payed homage to it. Being a fan of a lot of 80's and 90's cartoons i loved spotting all the little parodies.

[Starra]

I've been meaning to watch that, actually. Seems like it's right up my alley. Maybe I'll get around to it after I finish Mitsudomoe.

But they also do really weird, unexplainable things like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Which only makes sense if you have a knowledge of how the Japanese language works. And even then it's odd (but also awesome).

ANYWAY.

Wada Ayaka, Fukuda Kanon - SOMEONE ELSE.

Mitsudomoe is such a hilarious show. Actually now i want to see H!P versions of those opening themes. Not sure of the line ups that would work best though.

Maybe Masaki,Haruka,Meimi?
