    Orphan Black was the best show currently on television and why haven't you watched it yet?

    I pretty much marathoned the first season a little while ago. Fantastic show. I'd been meaning to watch it for a while, but I'm kind of glad I put it off because it made my wait for the start of the second season a lot shorter. :monster: I'm hyped.

    General Anime Thread

    The eighties flashbacks were the best thing ever. I think I feel sort of the same way about the ending. It was good but not great/super memorable. As for the show in general, the plot twists weren't really terribly surprising, but the way they were delivered was pretty great, which is...

    General Anime Thread

    I haven't been keeping up that much with what's new this season, but I'm looking forward to Ping Pong (airing April 10th). Normally, I wouldn't be that interested in the premise, but it's directed by Masaaki Yuasa and adapted from a manga by Taiyo Matsumoto, and from the trailer it's looks like...

    General Anime Thread

    The "cousins" stuff was just the dub, though, not the show itself. Has anything been confirmed beyond some info on the staff and the one leaked preview image? I'd love for them to go beyond the first story arc and have the Outers included, but unfortunately I'm not sure if it's likely that...

    I thought Kill la Kill was a blast to watch even if as a whole it wasn't groundbreaking or anything. I was kind of hoping for some outlandish plot twist with the ending, but it was OK for what it was. I'll definitely miss having a new episode to watch on Thursday. I need to catch up with...

    Academy Awards 2014

    I think that literally the only new movies I've seen this year are Frozen and Pacific Rim (which isn't nominated for anything :( ), haha. I'm pretty interested in how the animated category will turn out, especially since Pixar isn't represented at all (deservedly so, nothing against Monsters...

    Evangelion 3.0 coming in fall 2012

    I wouldn't be surprised if the ambiguity of the double bar line/repeat symbol in the logo was intentional. :monster: I think all the allusions to EoE are pretty neat, and I kind of hope they do add up to something in 4.0. On the other hand, I dunno how I feel about Rebuild making the...

    Last Film You've Seen

    Frozen. I really, really liked it. Visually it was great; I think that, in the end, it benefited from being 3D instead of 2D, given all the ice/snow effects (dat ice palace). The story gets major points for the atypical villain choice (for Disney :monster:) and that the focus isn't on...

    Is Sephiroth Really Overated As People Say He Is

    When I first played the game I thought he was pretty cool, but I still didn't really get the appeal. I do like how the game has you chasing him around with you only really seeing the aftermath of what he can do, at first, like with Shinra HQ and the Midgar Zolom. The first disc flashback was...

    Are Games Crippled By Easy Modes?

    I don't think having an easy mode hurts, as long as the game gives you a choice. It's a lack of difficulty options that can potentially ruin a game, IMO, because if something's too easy then all the player can do is make up self-imposed challenges, and if it's too difficult then the game...

    Games you like to play around Christmas time

    I'll probably always associate Twilight Princess with Christmas time, since that's when I first got to play it and I was so unbelievably hyped for it; Snowpeak Ruins is also a great wintry dungeon. I tend to play A Link to the Past sometime around December (or during the winter in general)...

    Some things

    Thanks for the comments! :) Here's a bunch of sketchbook stuff, mostly on toned paper since I've been really enjoying using it lately; I need to try using black charcoal instead of pencil, but I don't like sketching with it as much:

    Unlucky's Sketch Hoard

    I think you did a very nice job with the face - you really got the subtle expression you were going for. And I feel exactly the same way about lineart and digital lineart in particular. Putting a sheet of paper on top of my tablet helps me to control the lines a bit more/be a bit less shakey...

    Maleficent

    The trailer didn't really do much for me, but it looks like the movie could be OK. I mean the visuals look nice (the shot of Maleficent and the branches is great) but nothing really stood out to me to set it apart from stuff like the recent Oz movie and Snow White and the Huntsman. As for the...

    Some things

    Floating panda torso from the earlier rough sketch of it. I didn't plan to go beyond a value study with it so it's pretty much done. I don't know what this is supposed to be. I kind of lost interest as I went along with coloring it. Here's the drawing and really rough initial color idea...

    Some things

    :huh: Hmm, looking at the value studies on a different monitor has them looking really washed out with the darks being lighter than intended. Hopefully my settings aren't wonky or anything. I took a stab at going beyond the sketch phase but I still can't get things to look as finished as I'd...

    Beautiful Animation

    I've never seen the Little Nemo movie, but the pilots done for it are really neat (ignore the awkward voices/dialogue, especially in the Dezaki one): YbPJmxIQqKc p-1PJVMvq7c

    Beautiful Animation

    Great thread. :) I'm always looking for animation recommendations, as well. Edit: Whoops, dunno how similar all of what I wrote about is to the videos you posted, as I've not seen either of them, but they're both directed by Makoto Shinkai so maybe check out his other stuff like Voices of A...
