What the heck was that supposed to mean (particularly the "crawling up" bit)? Tenchi is my all-time favorite anime series.
I used to post in this thread about anime episodes going free on the NA PS Store, usually for periods of 1-2 weeks. That hasn't happened in almost a whole year, I think . . . and it probably won't ever happen again, based on changes to how the PS Store does video. Additions to the Video side of the PS Store have shifted from downloads + streaming to streaming-only, except on iOS/Android devices. The PS3's Video side of the Store is going entirely silent later this month, also (it will be able to stream existing owned content, but no further commerce will be available). And, the Web Store has had no Video side for a good while (supposedly temporary, according to a text blurb on the site, but with no ETA on its return). Granted, I don't have full visibility on what's in the PS Store; maybe there have been free anime episodes available on the PS4, or through whatever Store interface there might be on iOS/Android devices. But, it just feels like trends have shifted, and maybe the North American anime distributors have decided there's no point marketing on the PS Store when the vast majority of their online viewing audience is on other streaming video portals.

MemberTo be more detailed....
There’s too many anime for me to go through on crunchyroll and the fact that few really holds my attention on top of competing for my favorite spots.
Tenchi first episode is so far decent enough without going overboard imo as far as harem and all that stuff.Posted 6 months ago # -
Which Tenchi Muyo are you talking about, anyway, the OVA series or the (first) TV series? I assume you don't mean Shin Tenchi (AKA Tenchi in Tokyo). Also, in case you aren't aware, Tenchi is one of the pioneers* of the harem genre as a whole, so no need* to worry about it going overboard.
Puppets are less creepy when they are on a smaller screen.
Similarly, I found several years ago that Spyro the Dragon (the PS1 original, in Classics form) did not give me motion sickness if I played it on my PSP, unlike when I played it on my PS3. Anyway, I assume you mean Thunderbolt Fantasy, since no other budaihsi shows have much in the way of English translation work done. How far have you gotten (and what are you watching it on, your Fire tablet?)? The latter half is when the story starts getting all twisty. :)

*These two are in-jokes for Tenchi fans who might be lurking.

MemberYeah, I've been watching it on my Fire (we have free wi-fi). I dropped my Kindle and it stopped working, so I started bringing my Fire to work. But reading novels on it hurts my eyes for some reason (I would guess the relatively low resolution) which leaves video.
I got tired of Space Cats after a few hours.

I've . . . never heard of Trollhunters, actually.
Something I've been meaning to mention for months: I get a real kick out of hearing David Tennant (best known to me as the Tenth Doctor in the revived Doctor Who (2006-2009, generally speaking; 2005-2010 if you want to nitpick)) playing Scrooge McDuck in the new DuckTales. Tennant is a Scotsman to begin with, so we're more or less hearing his normal voice. He's noticeably higher pitched than the Scrooge I grew up with, but he's still quite good. I'm less enthusiastic about the new Launchpad, who is stupider than I recall. My favorite character so far, though, is Webby, whom I barely, barely remember from the original show. She's such a powerhouse here, though! Like a mini Michelle Yeoh--though with the vulnerability of a Jackie Chan character.

MemberI only lasted five seconds when the reveal trailer was posted months ago for the new DuckTales. Surprised to hear that it's not completely trash. As a big DuckTales fan, I knew immediately that it wasn't for me.
I hope it somehow encourages Disney to get the last 25 classic episodes out on DVD. I have TaleSpin finished and the first 75 episodes of DuckTales (And the movie), but I'd love to get the remaining episodes on DVD (I've yet to buy any Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers and probably won't, since I liked it but didn't love it).
That said, early DuckTales was much more to my liking. Wasn't a Bubba or Gizmo Duck fan, so there were a lot less interesting episodes in the final quarter of the show's run.

Thunderbolt Fantasy season 2 had its season premiere in Japan a couple of hours ago (and is now available for paid subscribers on Crunchyroll, plus for free viewers a week from today). Sweet! I wonder what convoluted machinations will go on this time, what with the main characters' backgrounds finally having been revealed at the end of last season. Maybe this season will be more straightforward? But then, that's not how Gen Urobuchi (project head) does things, I don't think.
I never liked ducks (in animation) much mew. This Turtles is great though.
Which TMNT are we talking about?

MemberWhy do you assume that I am talking about TMNT mew? I'm sure there must be loads of other TV shows about random turtles.
...
2012 TMNT.
You're the first person to actually ask me which one. I assumed that everyone would assume I was talking about the original 1987 series.

MemberI never watched 1987 version either when I was a kid. 2012 version was my first foray into the franchise. I binged watched all 122 eps, then went straight to 1987 after that. I made it to the middle-ish of Season 3 when I realized this franchise was literally all I was watching, so I am taking a long break haha.
I dunno if I will watch the 2003 version. None of my friends have seen it so I'd have nobody to talk to about it. Many people love it the most, but the 2012 version is really good (I like that they all look different for once), so maybe I should watch anyway, just to compare myself.
One thing that bothers me is that 2012 and the new 2018 show are the only ones in the franchise where the turtles actually have plastrons that connect to their carapaces. In all other versions, their shells aren't connected at all, so the carapaces are just hanging there on their backs with no support. It's not something super huge to complain about, but it does look pretty weird/strange every time I see it. Only Nickelodeon it seems actually did something about it. Even Michael Bay with his 'realistic' designs doesn't have proper shells!
