Comment on Top 10 Anime Movies of All Time by Imyou:

Oshii’s a brilliant director, he’s just often miscast for projects. He shouldn’t be put on things with humor like Urusei Yatsura or Patlabor. When he gets something dark to start with like the Red Spectacles series, he’s a natural.

  I’d say the opposite… those are classics, but since I love Urusei Yatsura and GitS, I hated the movies since they were so far from the original material. Oshii sucked the life out of both of them and made them dark and bleak like everything else he touches.

  Are they going to rerelease it every year or two with some changes to the story so you have to rebuy it again to see what’s new?

  All shows could have a similar drop rate, making the most watched the most dropped… Not saying they do, but something like this is always a factor to some extent if you’re talking raw number of people who dropped each.

• Square Enix “Will Focus On Social Gaming”:
  

  They might as well… They’re known for making games with stupidly high production values, and they tried to do that half-assed with cheap labor and it didn’t work… Well, if they’re not willing to do what it takes to make a flagship title, they may as well go into retirement and make little cheap games like any other upstart.

• Dragon’s Crown Amazon “Ultimate Video Game Hardbody”:
  

  Same here. Hard bodies can be cool, but she’s left human anatomy far behind and charged into uncharted territory. Even the bizarre looking musclebuilding champions IRL are a more familiar shape than that. The characters in this game seem to have been drawn based on looking through a fisheye lens.

  I don’t even watch Kuroko’s Basketball, but after all the threats from that wannabe terrorist, getting events cancelled etc, I’m glad to see it so high if just to annoy the loser calling the threats in.
