Words From An Otaku (The End?)

[OniXera]

Let's not forget, the 80's version of Astro Boy was the worst adaptation, and the '03 adaptation was the best (yes, better than the 60's adaptation. I've seen all 3 in full).

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

Sadly,I've only seen the 80's version.I haven't had time to check out the other two versions out yet. I do plan on seeing them though.I love old school anime, but yeah, sometimes it's just like??? One of my fav anime from the 80's is Ranma. 90's is Magic Knight Rayearth; and of course who could forget the late 90'sCowboy Bebop?I'm currently watching some older ones right now like Macross, Vifam, and Urusei Yatsura as well. There's definitely more that I've seen from that time,but there's a few.

[OniXera]

Well, you surely missed out with Astro Boy, the 80's version is the least accurate to the Manga.

Yes, Ranma is awesome, so is Cowboy Bebop. But there are quite a few series from back then that kinda made you want to go "why?..."

Dragon Ball was also an awesome 80's series.

But you can't forget they're remaking the sequel series, DBZ, in to Dragon Ball Kai this year.

Remakes can be good.

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

I didn't mention Dragon Ball, because that's a given. lol

For DBZ though... remake? I thought it was just a remaster?

[OniXera]

That's FUNi's version.

This year, in March or something, DBZ is being remade in HD, in Japan.

It'll be called Dragon Ball Kai. The animation will be redone, all the lines will be redone, and it is supposedly going to be only around 100 episodes long.

So it should look like the most recent Dragon Ball OVA, in other words.

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

Really?? Now I'm extremely confused. I'm gonna have to do some research. I still thought that they were just doing a HD remaster of the show. Hmm... interesting.

[OniXera]

Oh no, it's a full remake of the series.

[NarutoDKurosaki]

It also depends on who's doing it. If it's Bee Train you can just forget about it.

[OniXera]

Bee Train?

If they are the same people who did the latest Dragon Ball OVA, and Blue Dragon, then it's them.

I'm pretty sure it isn't.

[NarutoDKurosaki]

Nay, I was using them as an example if they were to make a remake on ANY anime.

KINGS of terrible anime.

[OniXera]

Well, what series have they done?

[NarutoDKurosaki]

The worst I can remember are:

Arc The Lad

Spider Riders

and...crap the name escapes me... MEDAROT! There you go.

[OniXera]

Medarot, Medabots, is there a difference?

I liked Medabots...

[NarutoDKurosaki]

Nah, sounds better. MedaROTted Pieces of Shit, is more like it,

[OniXera]

Of course, not everything in the 80's and 90's was totally awesome.

The 80's and 90's suffered from the same retarded series we do today, we just don't remember them because they are almost 20-30 years old.

There were a lot of series back then that fucking sucked. We only remember the good ones.

[kiisu55]

I think the 80's/90's stuff is the best also >.> the newer stuff i just cant get into, there's one every now and then but I just dont like the newer stuff very much XP

[TVMaxwell]

wow, i remember the first time i saw one of your vids was in may of '07 and i was in 5th grade, you were talking about lovely complex and i think Denno Coil... i dunno, but you completely opened me up to the world of anime and for that i thank you dearly

-Max

[ronaproject]

The 80s and 90s stuff is the best anyway! Just my opinion...

[AssholePatrol]

I don't think so. There's a lot of good new stuff if you know where to look. Unfortunately a few overblown popular series hog the entire spotlight. Bleach, Naruto, and the like are what seem to make the image of "new anime"

[NarutoDKurosaki]

Everything lately is moe or crappy love stories. I rarely see GAR characters that aren't remakes or nice plotlines.

[SaraSohma7]

yeah im not really into some of the new anime either i need to rewatch some olderstuff

[arishosan]

HEYYYY, if you're going to say my name you have to link to me in your info box =D

lol. lol.

I'm Alicia, in case you guys were wondering why I said that.

=( I'll miss you Domo. Ha.

[arishosan]

And Domo, I know you're really excited about your computer... maybe you should make a dedication video to it XD ahhhhaaa.

You ARE two people =)

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

I'm two people? WOAH! That's hawt!

[arishosan]

Hawt?

Which one XD lol lol

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

Um... the one sitting in the chair!

[arishosan]

LIAR =0

haha

[ninetail3df0x]

aww man thats a bummer. but best of luck to you dude. also does anyone else think his senior pic at the end looks sort of like Eric from That 70s Show? xD lol

[YokuramaAnimeTalk]

i feel exactly like you. im tiered of trying to keep up with all the animes, and i also want to watch all the old animes aswell.

i still need to join the group xD lol

[FJSpoof]

Hey there doesnt need to be reviews on the new stuff. Old stuff is amazing as well.

Either way Just glad to see you will still be making videos.

What the heck was that random Make me so happy laptop and 4 hard drives thing in the middle? XD

Also you should always watch what you want to watch and review those. Don't watch what people want you to review. Just tell them it wasnt your style.

I've seen Solanin before but never thought to pick it up.

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

I'm happy! I have a laptop now! It's so small and nice! And I actually have 7 hard drives. I didn't count the internal ones. I have to keep getting them to store anime. lol

[Strife18]

Please don't stop Words from an Otaku! I don't mind waiting! I wouldn't care if it took you 10 months to get the next vid out. I love WotO! You are so awesome, funny, and random and Youtube wouldn't be teh same without you.

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

Like I said I'm not completely stopping my vids, they'll just be less frequent. I'll also being doing stuff with I-Studios so my wackiness is somewhat being transferred over to there; and I'll be on blogtv, so no worries! You'll still be able to experience my randomness. lol

[blueteaa]

Haha -- I'll miss words from an otaku. I've been watching since.. uh.. since you had blonde hair and those thick black glasses that you lost in the bottom of a lake (or something) XD

anyway, thanks for making these, they've made me laugh :)

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

Wow. That's a realllllly long time. You've been there from like the beginning! Thanks for watching! I'll still be around and hopefully you can check out my next liveshow on blogtv. Hopefully that'll be soon. lol

[KyutoJohasu]

This almost sounds like a Light Yagami Dialogue in the beginning. xD

Why not do a blog every month or two?

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

Well I'm not stopping my vids completely so I'll probably end up at least doing that.

[GrapplerJMo]

heh, the ONLY new anime i'm watching at the moment is Hajime no Ippo New Challenger...and that's based on a manga that's been in publication for 20 years. But anyway, I am mostly watching older stuff myself like tekkaman blade and rg veda. but i also plan on watching season 2 of nodame cantabile, winter sonata, and casshern sins

[gluclax]

Good for you man! 70-90's have some amazing anime. I actually tend to like the older anime better. No point in making such a fun hobby like Anime stressful!!! It is so much fun.:) Loved the show!:)

[RODalicious]

...sigh...I had just started watching your videos...

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

Well, hopefully there will be more to come. I'll just be working on other projects and sites. You should check out blogtv sometimes, it's like my blog just uber long. XP

[EvilChibiPro]

*sigh* Glad I was with you till the end Domo. I have to read that book by the way...

I will look into your other accounts and be curious about the blogs and such.

*laughs* You are still the same Domo, even after two years have passed.

Good luck with your new projects and I hope everything goes well. I love that senior picture by the way. (:

[shocb]

sigh and i just started watching these vids too :(. well its for the best. you seemed very jittery and nervous :D.

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

Did I? Well I knew I was gonna disappoint people so that's probably why I seemed that way. I've been doing blogs like this on youtube for so long and now... well I'll be around, just around other places besides youtube more often.

[ONVPodcast]

Nick: I completely understand considering I play the role of "the guy who tries to watch the new series as they come out" on the podcast. Best of luck in your other projects! Yeah, Solanin's supposed to be great.

[Agravain3]

well this makes me sad, but i understand. i tried making youtube videos too and its so hard to do them and keep a life as well.

i wish the best to you.

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

Well, I'll still be around. Although, I have to say that blogtv sucks up way more life than youtube. XD

[ffVIIfanboy]

Well it's probably for the best. I'll miss these blogs but at least we may hear stuff from you or get to talk to ya.

[AnimeDrumDude]

Well at least you ain't gonna to leave completly, still I'm gonna miss these blogs *sob*

"Is that my hair?"...haha you think you have problems? I can't walk down the street without eating my own hair lol.

[WordsFromAnOtaku]

lol! I'm probably gonna have to get it cut soon cuz of regulations at school. I'm actually surprised they haven't told me to cut it yet.

[AnimeDrumDude]

...my form teacher(I think you guys call them home-room teachers)flipped out at me this mourning and told me to go see my year head about my hair, couldn't find him (lies XP)so I didn't go, but damn why so many school rules on hair, sob.

[DCAComics]
