Any highlights of this show? I'm not gonna bother watching any of it.
The Nerf Guns
A long while ago. The final bit with the rebels and Bergan and Doir's mutiny has come and pass, all that's left is the Liberation arc, which will be the final two weeks.
On a different note, what are your thoughts about the P-Bandai SMP Voltes V including literally every other weapon besides the Tenkuu-ken that wasn't in the base release? Scummy AF?
SMP Voltes V is a cash grab over VVL anyway.
They didn't make Girion gigantic in the show?
Kinda disappointed with that arc and Commander Robinson's death, honestly. Diand never even became autonomous or a beast fighter. Still holding out hope for the final arc though.
commander robinson's death was way too abrupt tbh.
>Commander Robinson's death
Shut your prostitute mouths. Commander Robinson's death was perfect drama-wise. In the anime, it was just him dying by helicopter death while Megumi flies away on a jetpack (lol?).

The final salute to Robinson and Jamie reminiscing about her dad was also perfect.

i didn't say it was bad, it was just abrupt.
i thought the whole brainwashing thing would last longer.
The show is 90 episodes long. Why would you want to drag this out?
where did i say i wanted it extended
come on, i just think they could have made it feel better, like instead of ozlak just gunning him down from a spaceship, something else happens
They did it perfect. To do otherwise is to drag it out or stray too far from the source material. You don't know what you're talking about.
>They did it perfect. To do otherwise is to drag it out or stray too far from the source material.
they already had it strayed far from source material with how he died
And they have to stray further to satisfy your take on it, which is quite frankly shit and would've dragged it out?
>And they have to stray further to satisfy your take on it, which is quite frankly shit and would've dragged it out?
I didn't even suggest anything. I just said it was abrupt.
What, you don't think that's cool?
>I didn't even suggest anything. I just said it was abrupt.
It was supposed to be abrupt.
>What, you don't think that's cool?
It's felt like more of the same type of death as Mary Ann and Dr. Smith. The "mentor figure dies inside a ship" death. Third time kills the drama and novelty.
>they already had it strayed far from source material
Would you rather Jaime ride a jetpack while her father's helicopter explodes, you corny-ass motherfricker?
Still no sex scenes?
VVL Heinel and Katharine sex scene = Shishio and Yumi sex scene in one of the new Kenshin OVAs.
VVL = Valverave
damn, they really do love Voltes V.
>make j-drama more like taiga dramas and Philippine telenovelas
No.
why do japs love this, and this is me as a flipgay
Literally more faithful than Gatchaman or City Hunter live-action.
J-dramas should become more like K-dramas.
This honestly
Let J-dramas be J-dramas.
Let K-dramas be K-dramas.
Let Filo dramas be Filo Dramas.
Neither should emulate the other, or lose their identity altogether.
What did I say in the previous threads. They LOVE it, even the stuff that we don't.
>trendy dramas
And this folks is why Jetman is so popular. People love messy romance. I don't know why sentai is so anti romance or team infighting.
the last thread was kept alive by a schizo, can't believe no one is going here
I need to catch back up. Got busy and I'm still on ep71 now.
>never got around to watching despite kinda wanting to
>it's already nearing the end
Wow, time flies.
I still don't get the point of the Eva subplot.
Think of it like a fanfic, but instead of a Mary Sue you have a Villain Sue. She's the original character - Do Not Steal version of a love rival that was literally imported from Filipino telenovela tropes.
She's even named after Evangelion. For shame.
Is the filipino telenovela lore really this deep?
but why make her last so fricking long
Mary Sue self-inserts tends to stick around.
Of all things NOT to change, the fact that Voltes doesnt keep the Eagle as an upgrade part is the worst
Combattler V reference!
The bomb is not original to VVL, it was also in the anime. It's in the same episode(s) Zardos' castle gets rekt.
I really wonder how they'd make a Combattler V sequel to this..
So what did everyone think of the Netflix live adaptation of One Piece?
See
I thought it was decent. The draggy parts were the same kind that VVL had, the necessary evils to give more substance to the story.
So when Camp Big Falcon took off did the people on the grounds just die?
I wonder how the series will end?
Probably like the anime with Zambojil dead or some shit.
Also, what's the consesus on turning Zaki female?
dunno but for me
Pretty Ojou-sama > Some random noble dude
Same as the original, but Heinel's death is more ambiguous. Spinoff hook with Daimos or Combattler V.
I mean obviously they're not gonna change too much, but I meant more on the presentation side. 4 more episodes left, are they gonna expand on anything?
damn, these last 10 episodes are actually pretty cool!
No, because the main villain wasn't his sister. They're not even in the same parts, Heinel shows up in the second half, when Garuda is the villain.
The story of the villain you're thinking of is that many, many years ago, Boazan and Barm went to war. But a Boazanian noblewoman and a Barmian man fell in love and had two children who had horns and wings together. The lovers were killed for sexing up the enemy during war, but the children managed to get away. The elder sister was consumed with vengeance and came back in the time of Victory Five to destroy as much as possible. Her sister ends up hanging out with Hyoma and switching sides.
As for Heinel, he survived the Voltes ending but lost a horn and gained a deadly cough. He shows back up to help save his brothers from Garuda. That's pretty much it.
Not in Victory Five? The sisters there are named Juelion and Belion.
If you're talking about the Marin that was in the unused draft episode of Voltes, then she was Catherine's sister, not Heinel's.
>Not in Victory Five?
What the FRICK are you talking about? LMAO, you never read Victory Five, have you?
...you're citing TVTropes? Buddy, I own Victory Five. It's two volumes, and she's not in there.
Here, buy it yourself and see: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/search/search?auccat=&tab_ex=commerce&ei=utf-8&aq=-1&oq=&sc_i=&p=%E3%83%93%E3%82%AF%E3%83%88%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%96&x=0&y=0
Now, the real trick is figuring out what that TVTropes moron was actually reading. I admit I have no idea.
>I own Victory Five
Doubt.jpg.
I believe you've seen the cover to Victory Five, you gigantic poser.
Has anyone thought of checking God Bird? Same author, same universe. She might be in there.
>I admit I have no idea.
The only correct part of this post.
>TVTropes moron
The audacity of this b***h claiming the TV Tropes guy is the one who needs to prove anything over you being caught in a lie LMAO.
So....
Where's Marin there? Can you pinpoint the exact page?
Victory V has been posted here before, Marine wasnt there. first villain was that Barm/Bozan kid who ends up piloting Phobos. Second volume villain was the OG Garuda or someshit.
Shes probably in Godbird or whatever that story with Daltanious in it
They didn't post the whole two volumes, moron. She's in Victory V.
Children, children, Victory Five has been scanned for years. You can just read it yourselves.
https://mega.nz/file/Y7VkjT4Y#T7ZfivwaOq4lvJ_Ukfue_B_5uVu9GAZsAC8vVkYsGE4
Haven't posted here for a long time, I love that the Solar Falcon looks awesome.
Also if the OPLA Netflix is any sign, VVL will be treated well when it's dubbed/subbed.
damn
i'm guessing they'll have an epilogue episode as friday's episode
maybe they'll even tease Daimos, cause Zambojil specifically mentioned Brahmin.
i know they're already producing Daimos, but I wonder how far ahead they already are...
Culminating into one big live action movie starring VVL, Daimos and Combattler?
hope it happens sooner rather than later. Little John might just become John lol.
i mean he might become john if they take too long.
Either they recast or have some sort-of "time skip" to explain why he became John.
I think they'll keep the actors age and explain it as a time skip.
Voltes V is reaching Nicky Larson levels of based.
In fairness to the criticisms against VVL, Nicky Larson also has its share of annoying side characters and "French humor" (Jerry Lewis style slapstick humor, if you will).
Both would've been perfect adaptations if you get rid of the unnecessary original additions to them.
how is the slapstick any different from the City Hunter anime
"Rom com sexy slapstick by a horny Japanese man" is a bit different from "Idiot sidekick killing hamster with microwave" or "Loser salaryman getting beat up by bodyguards", methinks.
Like they don't belong in the original series or something.
The parts that are from City Hunter are fine and obviously the original parts featuring "French humor" is horrible.
I only recommend watching the Japanese dub of this, naturally.
Toei can't wait to make a toy out of this form.
Here's Riot Inc. Post Production's post on FB regarding the volt tank.
VVL is the Philippine's version of Katawa Shoujo, isn't it?
No, Keit-Ai.
Here's a good point. Japanese love VVL because the director is the biggest Voltes V weeb.
Not enough, never underestimate Filipinos' nostalgia! They got something first seen in the good ol' 1997 Chogokin implemented in a live-action retelling of a well-loved Super Robot show directed by the creator of Gundam!
neat. I thought Spin Fly was supposed to be the Grandasher equivalent.
It existed first in toy form. You mean the VVL version of the toy form, right?
Yeah, the VVL version. I didn't know it was a toy.
Is this where they got the idea for Daimos' Tranzer form?
I thought it's originally came from Combattler's GranDasher.
I forgive the Philippines for not making the Mechanical Eagle into Voltes V wings.
Never change, Google.
APOLOGIZE
Hell no. VVL was a success in spite of her and her inclusions like the bed scene and Eva, not because of her.
On the point of romance, I won't apologize.
>walang love story sa cartoons na ang target ay kids
Megumi left the chat, Combattler left the planet, Daimos left the universe
Nah. IN FACT, if we got rid of her and just stuck with the original more it would've been an even better product.
tbh this made her death hit harder since they are more intimate so its a welcome addition
Makes sense, since they act business-like outside of the bed, and it wouldn't make sense to normalgays. I can give Doctolero that.
I'm torn because I have no problem with the sex but I have problems with Eva.
R.I.P. in peace, Katharine. You will be missed.
On the bright side, had sex, doesn't matter.
Japan should make a Voltes V Legacy Abridged.
Or Voltes V Kai.
Angry incel Heinel might not have been a big deal in the 1970s, but nowadays people loathe incels so might as well have him get some with Katharine.
Fellas, is it incel to get angry at the death of a woman you're not having sex with?
I don't understand that word nowadays. It just means 'person I don't like because I disagree with him' to me. Heinel isn't even an incel, he's a prince. Princes of his appearance and stature usually attract all the women.
What were you expecting because the /m/ side of the show has been excellent throughout.
>What were you expecting
For the Godol fight? A 1:1 recreation of the anime fight. Certainly not Gundam Wing Buster Rifles and Voltes V losing an arm.
Glad you liked it then
I was shocked to see that happen. It was a good thing that the city they were fighting in was already in ruins, cause I'm pretty sure that kind of energy could have obliterated most of it.
I wonder how Voltes V ranks among live action mechs? You think he can take on something like a Pacific Rim mech, even if he is shorter?
Isn't a Pacific Rim mech much bigger? I don't know if Voltes V has the arms to penetrate Gypsy Danger for example, even if it's faster by a lot.
Gypsy Danger is 260 feet or 80 meters. Voltes V is 1970 feet or 600 meters. I think Daimos is bigger than Gypsy.
wtf are you talking about, Voltes V ain't that big. It's 60 meters.
My bad, I mistook the weight for height.
You're both wrong. Voltes V is 58 meters and 600 tons.
>I wonder how Voltes V ranks among live action mechs?
Still below Pacific Rim, I'm afraid.
>"What do you mean it's not canon? I have twice the cannon!"
>Gundam Wing Buster Rifles
Wrong. It's the Twin Satellite Cannon of Gundam Double X from After War Gundam X.
Ah okay. Thanks. I only know the original Gundam and Gundam Wing.
Doesn't it look more like Freedom Gundam's Back Cannons?
Even Japan is waking up and realizing your lies, Doctolero.
>one cherry picked contrarian opinion
Sure
Notice how they say they love the Voltes Heavy Tank and NONE of them say they love Eva or the melodrama.
What point are you even trying to make you absolute moron LMAO?
NTA but that gay doesn't like the heavy tank either. This is coming from somebody who hates the melodrama like that gay.
That anon's point is that there are many JP opinions that don't care enough about the melodrama to say it. Either that or they like it. No need to gaslight him into thinking he's a moron when you shifted the goalposts yourself. "Notice how" is gaslighting 101.
Shut up. You pulled the same shit the last time Legacy was criticized on Twitter:
oh that dude been vocal canon purist since day 1 and mostly want mech scenes lmao
No person in their right mind, even the Japanese, would like "Generic Clingy Jealous Girl" as a character.
I thought Japan loved tsundere or yandere girls.
I'm sorry you write telenovela garbage.
I read Voltes's lines with the Chogokin Voltes voice from the old commercials. Still fresh in my mind.
The Vince Russo of VVL.
Hello, Doctolero. It's not a good look for normies to find out you're posting on Cinemaphile.
>you're defending this garbage, you must be Doctolero
Imagining being this desperate
You're both dumbasses. Not only it isn't me, but I've spent more than half the entirety of VVL threads on /m/ shitting on Doctolero. You both need to shut up and stop crying whenever somebody tries to inject some nuance into the arguments or opposes you.
Voltes V vs Godor fight was good, I'd give it a godordidn'tbreathefire/10
Those bloopers at the end of the episode... This is standard issue problems if your horns are built in your wig. Funny, from the nephew of Connie Sison (mentioned last Tuesday in a midday news show).
Michael V also did good in his Octo-1 rendition of Aniki's song. Really wished they insert a memorial for him in the finale. Or maybe all these covers during the show's run is enough of a memorial...
God damn
they gave Godor twin laser cannons.
Gotta say VVL exceeded my expectations for the Godor fight.
https://twitter.com/NegiKitsu/status/1699823158273147048
Frick it. I'm all in on Daimos now.
It's guaranteed money now so they'll probably push Alden Richards for this since he was the voice actor for the 2015 reairing of the anime, then Bianca Umali for Erika. But if they're going to cast her as Erika then I'd rather they go for the real life couple for the chemistry with Ruru Madrid. I don't like these choices though. I'd like a more elegant actress and a more martial arts proficient MC.
>Alden Richards
>Bianca Umali
But what if they made HER as Erika in order to cash in on YOU-KNOW-WHAT...?
RIP Miguel Tanfelix that's all I'm gonna say. It's been how many years that he's courting Ysabel and nothing is happening.
I'm making an AlDub reference, what are you talking about?
Double reference. Miguel was cucked because Bianca never told him she was in a long term relationship with Ruru. Alden was cucked because Maine never told him she was in a relationship with Arjo, now her husband. Both guys wanted to get into a serious relationship with their loveteams.
Anyway it won't work anymore because the chemistry is already gone.
Gonna post this here to scare the flips.
>Alden Richards!
>Erika!
Jokes on you, I was there with my coworkers on Tamang Panahon.
I think there's a currently free A-lister out there who can take on the role of Erika no sweat. The supposed Darna, she has no more "studio limitations" and GMA would be stupid to not tap her, Liza Soberano.
An afro can easily be a wig, what matters is that this guy has to be skilled with a sword and has rizz.
>since he was the voice actor for the 2015 reairing of the anime
No, he'll probably play Richard's father like how Dennis Trillo played Steve's father.
...Omae no karate wo misete yare!
Say, if Daimos is next, and people would all over the world (not just Japan, too) would push for a live-action Combattler, instead of that weird copout ending from a second group of aliens who are enemies of the Campbellians, I want it styled like Shaider's two-part finale where Gavan and Sharivan assists him in finishing the job, except here, Voltes and Daimos appear as backup (something that was unable to be accomplished in the anime for obvious reasons). That way, all eleven pilots would get together when the mission is complete.
To be honest, Alden is that one person who never commits to relationships, shipped with literally every girl in the Philippine celebrity industry.
If they're not doing Combattler, the production team should adapt God Bird instead of Victory V as a sequel.
>That way, all eleven pilots would get together when the mission is complete.
Together with Big Bert and Big John
>and people would all over the world
I don't think GMA cares about the people from all over the world, just the Filipino audience. Hollywood is the international one, not local Philippine networks.
I guess? Anime is Japanese propaganda.
Basically the same damn shit with Japanese works having the Japanese fandom be the law? Frick.
Who will play Edward Kramer? And will he still sport the 'fro?
Bitch, he looks like Goku.
What would be the explanation for his Disco Stu looks though?
His Disco Stu. Or a youngin' "hipster" that's a little too into 1970s aesthetics.
Someone should make a Daimos Abridged and have Kyoshiro act like Disco Stu.
Soon.
Moyase moyase makka ni moyase...!
Now I get to see Erika kidnapped 100 times in live action!
It's 2023, my dude. We're going to get Girl Boss Erika and her robot Phobos early like she's Sayaka Yumi from Mazinger Z.
It's more of a perfect fit for Doctolero's type of telenovela writing.
Also, in case Combattler gets adapted too, Hyoma x Chizuru is canon. Though I expect her to make Juuzo part of an unwanted love triangle.
Doctolero will invite him
to be part of a love triangle no doubt.
>Though I expect her to make Juuzo part of an unwanted love triangle.
Standard fare by that point.
>Mang Jose, Mang Jose
Bed scene when?
Soon. Hairy chest and all.
Zardoz piloting Godor be like...
Why does it look like one of those old-timey hair salon hair dryer helmets?
Because his wig constantly falls off, horns and all. Production standpoint.
I can't believe they found a way to make that ridiculous helmet look even more ridiculous.
Symbolism. He's a dickhead so his headgear symbolizes that.
>me at the parlor getting a haircut because the barbershop was full
They stick very closely to canon most of the time.
Is this true, Filipinos?
Anime and Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid helped save Japan from American hatred too. It's not exclusive to the Philippines.
Lmao. Sharing their culture definitely helped, but let's not forget the non-anime related agencies that helped repair Japanese-Philippine relations.
Besides, the Philippines hasn't been largely anti-Japan for a very long time. If we were, I imagine Onoda wouldn't have been able to get back home.
There's a certain city in the Philippines that has had a large Chinese and Japanese percentage before WW2 and the current situation so no.
I mean, by the time COVID hit all the people who still have memories of WWII have died out, so maybe.
Its been ages since we held malice against the Japanese in general. The last vestiges of hatred from the war is because of the Comfort Women who the Japs still dont recognize. This is also a contention in SK and Mainland China. Other than that, post war Jap diplomacy has them concentrating on building up economic projects in neighboring countries trying to do the whole Co-Prosperity Sphere thing manually.
That and Xi Jinping's aggressive diplomacy has pushed us even closer as Western bastions and main supply hubs for Taiwan in case an invasion does happen.
>because of the Comfort Women who the Japs still dont recognize
Not defending the IJA but the US also enslaved us for display as savage monkeys during the 1904 World Fair. And until now it's treated not as the serious issue that it is like they do with Black American issues, but just as some learning trivia for schoolchildren. You can imagine my shock when my niece went and asked me about it for homework.
Same country whose citizens say Japan deserves two nukes because of Nanking, by the way.
to be fair, systemic wartime rape is still a notch higher than a being world fair exhibit
Have Americans held malice against Japan since WWII? I mean, aside from the crass "Two nukes weren't enough" jokes that crop up from time to time.
I mean, Cinemaphile is an American version of the 2ch Japanese message board, right?
Here's your Daimos, guys.
>debuting on September 11
LOL, was this intentional?
Never forget.
>it starts off as a normal telenovela
>suddenly, aliens attacking
>his name is Richard Hartford, and the girl he's wooing is an amnesiac Erika
Btw how do the rebels talk to the earthlings without any universal translator
The rebels have a universal translator as established in the first few episodes.
I was under the impression that when they became slaves their translators got removed, idk where I got that idea
I don't doubt the series might've neglected adding the translator, using the earliest scene as a handwave. But the handwave is the official explanation for it. Their equivalent of translator microbes.
I'm expecting Daimos would lean more on the Filipino drama writing given the romance was a core plot, from what I remember.
You know, even though you're mostly right, when I rewatched it the karate violence was surprisingly more brutal than in Voltes and Combattler.
Daimos is very underrated for mech-on-mech violence and sakuga fight animation because of the love story.
Both Combattler and Daimos have romance as a major part of the core plot.
It happened to Filipinos too brody.
>Combattler
You're talking about Garuda and Miia, right?
NII-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN t_t
screw Combattler and Daimos.
I want them to do live action Gravion
Cool. Which country outside of Japan with a CGI budget loves Gravion? They can make it.
This show should be named Octo-1
Little guy has been nothing but helpful with 0 drama
They did it intentionally because the original anime just forgot Tako-chan existed midway into the series.
>helpful
Octo-1 helplessly watched robo-Ned murder Dr. Smith
He can help whenever he can without overshadowing the actual cast. He's no Scrappy Doo.
Say hello to Kuya Zardos
I mean, say goodbye to Kuya Zardos
>They didn't make Heinel's death ambiguous
Welp, so much for that Victory V/God Bird sequel!
Hrothgar went through more false flag deaths than Zardoz. He'll survive.
Did he break a horn? If he broke a horn, that means Victory Five is canon!
ONE JOB.
>Ssssshhh. Zardoz is sleeping.
>Zardoz is just a li'l dead! The Victory Five sequel is still good! It's still good!
They did not show any hasty funeral or even a tombstone in the epilogue did they?
nope
tfw no Knight Monohorn.
These ads are predatory pieces of shit
Zero regulations
I guess I have to be happy that they're recouping their investments but holy shit
Can't they pull a Japan and make a full 10 min straight airing and all the ads in the middle then 15 mins of straight airing at the end
"Why isn't the Philippines acting like Japan?!" is some funny shit, bro.
Frick this stupid melodrama holy shit it's the ending already we don't NEED IT
Also Mark>Steve
"brohood" what a fricking joke
I'm free to dream
Muting this bulshit.
There was no brotherhood between Steve and Mark who fought the entire fricking series and more than half of it for one girl.
Frick you Suzette Doctolero
>Muting this bulshit.
lmao why would you need to mute?
Anyway, the series end with a "Voltes V Legacy Will Live on"
They're definitely teasing some sort of reunion with Daimos.
in Daimos, I mean.
I didn't want to hear whatever Steve had to say after leaving Mark out to dry. Even Mark calls him out for his bullshit one last time saying there was no "brohood" between them.
>They're definitely teasing some sort of reunion with Daimos.
Like it's not obvious already. It's massively successful.
Dude it's just a show calm down
HEHEHEHEHEHE
This man's dedication to hating is unparalleled
does that man have autism? does he not understand what jokes are?
I only wish the Shrine of Mary had a hidden mecha goddess underneath.
All hail Mama Mary!
>the whole show was made so that Doctolero's Stemie fanfic would become canon in live action
Search your hearts. You know it to be true.
Thanks, Satan.
LOL, looks like stock footage used on Karaoke videos..
Maybe that's the point
It's Morphin Time! DRAGON ZORD!
Zeo Ranger 5 Red!
That's a fivehead.
for all my misgivings, I thought it turned out alright. could have been a LOT worse. The mecha carried it on it shoulders but the changes are mostly alright if not executed poorly, giving out the twist early so youd get some attachment to Ma Gou before she dies, giving Daijirou something to do, introducing Kazarin and Hainel being in a loveless physical relationship that ended up being an emotional relation.
7/10, decent foray into soap operakatsu. Just edit it a bit and trim the fat.
Also, wouldnt mind seing Legacy as a unit only thing in SRW after Robot Jox gets in
Trim out Eva, give more substance to Mark and Steve's relationship, and I'm good. Those are the two things I had gripes with the show about.
>give more substance to Mark and Steve's relationship
But there wasn't much of anything between Kenichi and Ippei's relationship either. Hyoma and Juuzo had more of a bromance.
I'm fine with OC content, like Big Bert and his gf. It would've been so easy to make the love triangle a non-toxic "competition" so to speak, but because women don't like that kind of writing we're stuck with melodrama.
>I'm fine with OC content
No, you're fine with "some" OC content. Or else you wouldn't request Eva's screen time to get cut down.
The problem with your request is that Doctolero is the head writer and what OC content she favors goes.
When I said OC content I meant GOOD OC content not just some. I'm completely fine with filler arcs if they expand the world or give characters additional dimensions beyond how they act during wartime or whatever the premise of the show is. The melodrama barely added anything and in some places detracted from it like Eva's revenge.
>GOOD OC content
And in Doctolero's eyes, that's more Eva scenes lol.
>When I said OC content I meant GOOD OC
Doctolero: You mean like this?
Uh, guise? Why do they have a corpse? I thought Heinel had no body retrieved.
They didn't show him get buried or even have a tombstone either, so....
More importantly, Baron Zander was able to escape with the Skull Rook. That's your sequel hook.
Wait, when did he get into the Skull Rook?
>Sssshhh. Aniki is sleeping.
Wait, it can still work! They're hiding the broken horn! MONOHORN CONFIRMED!
Now we wait for the Japanese dub.
Not my first choice but why not? Let Archer cook.
See you in 3-6 months, /m/.
Have the original voice actor for Kenichi/Steve now voice Kentaro/Ned instead.
Why is it that the Japanese accepted Voltes V: Legacy, warts and all, more than even Filipinos did?
No stupid network wars for one.
They didn't actually watch it. They just saw clips on Twitter. They weren't exposed to recurring cases of love triangles like it was thrush.
>They weren't exposed to recurring cases of love triangles
They were, they watched the livestreams. Difference is that they didn't understand. Why would that one JP autist hater cry about it if they didn't watch?
Not all of them watched the streams or all 90 episodes. Get real. The ones who could definitely complained about the Eva stories.
>they're speaking positive because they're onlt seeing bits and pieces and those who watched it sees it for the telenovela trash that it is
That's not what I'm observing with them but ok.
>That's not what I'm observing with them
You're a fricking moron if you think they all have the stream available and aren't just viewing Twitter clips.
You probably are anyway.
So in the Philippines, it was a flop all along?
Yeh.
That's what I was talking about here
Network wars, most Filipinos don't have enough media literacy to discern it. They're likely grown women too which is sad. Kinda like Cinemaphile when they fight over sales figures.
It wouldn't get a 10 episode extension if it was a flop.
It's not even trending, they say.
blatant lie lmfao
Again, network wars. Nothing to take seriously. Most Filipinos watching VVL don't use Twitter. FB is still the largest social media platform in PH.
>Have Americans held malice against Japan since WWII?
I wouldn't say it's malice but there has been an underlying disdain for Japanese stuff in the entertainment sector for decades now.
I haven't watched the anime for a decade+ now but I don't remember it losing an arm in the anime.
>underlying disdain for Japanese stuff
Which isn't present here in Cinemaphile since most people here are weebs.
It's still present here but not as overwhelming as say, IG or Twitter
I think the Japanese dub will improve two things. Emotion from the main cast and the absence of the made up language cringe. I don't deny that coming up with fictional languages is a skill and Doctolero has been great at doing that for her fantaseryes but I'm not trying to hear another HOMSAK from the cast and I don't think the JP dub will be adapting it since there is no need
>Emotion from the main cast
You think the main cast lacked emotion? Even when it comes to death scenes, like Jamie with her dad or the Armstrong Brothers with their mother?
Reminder that you've been doing major damage control every time VVL is criticized by the Japanese.
More like YOU're doing damage control whenever someone points out how wonky your arguments are.
Wonky? People are just posting the negative reviews of Voltes V Legacy. You're the one who can't accept criticism.
NTA but that's not criticism. You might as well have said that animanga Luffy looks more wild than live action Luffy. They're differences, even the wiki you're using is saying that.
The same wiki that called Zardoz an incompetent swordsman?
Nobody said all of them, get real. The ones who could appreciated it. This person got interested in Filipino dramas because of VVL even.
Also I didn't check it before posting but both this person and another one liked Eva's inclusion.
>both this person and another one liked Eva's inclusion.

Here young master, the links you ordered. Is there anything else you want, you pampered little whiny b***h

And before you say "the Misaki acc didn't say anything" the reply says Me too/watashi mo which means Misaki likes Eva too.
>who has a bad reputation
>I love Eva Zaki Risa Takeo too. (loves side characters in general)
Bro, that's really scraping the bottom of the barrel there in terms of stretches lol.
Bad reputation in general, not his/her opinion. Keep coping.
They don't know it exists.
Kek
Netflix pays more than Amazon. They paid $138 mil for One Piece live action, and the failed Cowboy Bebop live action was $70 million.
>not his/her opinion
So that means even in Japan, she has a bad reputation. Thank you for proving me right.
>says nobody in Japan watched all the livestreams and told me to "Get Real"
>iN JaPaN ShE HaS A BaD ReP
So what is it?
Only the initial post is mine
It's cope because they know that most Filipinos don't like Eva just from Twitter alone, not collective Japanese opinion. So far only one Japanese autist hates Eva.
Basically that gay is trying to twist my words all this time for his agenda.
Kek this means he might prefer VVL to the anime, hence "Don't watch in a Japanese way"
>not collective Japanese opinion
Can you prove there's a collective Japanese opinion of liking Eva? Because good luck.
It's not collective Japanese opinion because it's not out there yet. The minority watching the livestreams are generally lukewarm towards Eva because only one Japanese person so far has reacted negatively to her and there are two who like her. I don't need good luck to prove something that's not there yet.
>It's him explaining why VVL lacks "honor", moron.
Posting google translated out of context tweets doesn't make me a moron, but it makes you a seething and coping nerd. At any rate, the Toyoda person clearly likes VVL so it's fine to take his opinion as siding with VVL.
>Posting google translated out of context tweets
Quick. Contextualize this. I look forward to your cope and damage control.
https://twitter.com/mars3955A/status/1701133453394321807
How will you check my "cope and damage control" when you probably understand Japanese less than I do? Kek
My post really ruffled your feathers huh nerd.
>less than I do
Ah, so you're just doing damage control and you don't understand the tweet. Good to know, autist.
>u-u mad
Saying that is always a concession that you've lost the argument kek.
>Ah, so you're just doing damage control
By posting stuff that seems negative about VVL on this thread? Oh I forgot, that was YOU lmao
There is nothing to damage control. VVL was received warmly by Japanese, Latino, Cuban, and most Filipino fans watching who aren't on Twitter.
Concede? It's more likely that they think it's the prevailing Filipino opinion since most Pinoys on Twitter don't like Eva. There's no concession going on there. I am telling you their opinion from their point of view, since the Japanese language is very contextual.
>It's more likely that they think it's the prevailing Filipino opinion
Why would they know what the Filipino opinion on her would be if they're tweeting amongst themselves? Desperate.
>By posting stuff that seems negative about VVL on this thread?
Yeah, how dare we post feedback on this show from the Japanese kek.
Hey autist-kun, what do you think of
? Why are you going out of your way to ignore that?
There's nothing negative about what he said kek. He's only talking about the difference between the anime and the live action. Toyoda even says that it also happens in Tokusatsu.
Besides why am I the autist, you're the one posting Twitter screenshots to shit on VVL.
>there's nothing negative about Heinel being honorable and Zardoz looking cowardly
Holy cope Batman kek.
Here's another tweet preferring "Heinel" over "Zardoz".
https://twitter.com/U_fort/status/1701173661032669402
>Here's another tweet
That person is only talking about Heinel though? Zardoz where? Kek
>Desperate
Google translate exists you dumbass. My opinion is not what you think it is.
>Google translate exists you dumbass
Why the hell would they care about what Filipinos think about Eva LMAO?
Same reason why we are interested in Japanese reception and posting their opinions in this thread? Why don't you get off Cinemaphile and get a real education instead because it seems you've dropped your brain somewhere, first by blaming me for saying it's consensus that Eva is bad then second for thinking that Japanese people aren't interested in opinions from foreigners
>why we are interested in Japanese reception
There's like 3-4 of us here kek. Keep reaching.
Again, ????
You're making stuff up about me in your head.
I'm even busy disproving the baiting autist in the last hour.
No, you're delusional. How the frick are you connecting one conversation into another separate tweet? Not every tweet about Voltes V in Japan is about VVL. Stop being a fricking dumbass.
From one guy, that guy. The others aren't criticisms, just your dumbass. Like this
It's about Volt Lander not VVL
>From one guy, that guy.
So he's the same as this guy?
That's his alt? Kek, you're delusional.
>You're making stuff up about me in your head.
What are you talking about? I'm saying if there's only 3-4 people here on Cinemaphile who's interested in what Japan thinks, then there are probably just a few people in Japan who cares what Filipinos think about VVL.
Fricking schizo poster who replies to everyone LMAO.
Maybe someday you'll learn to accept criticism instead of explaining it away, thinking that your favorite show is flawless.
Bad faith takes are not valid criticism.
Calling every criticism "bad faith takes" is a one-way ticket to an echo chamber.
Because I'm calling it for what it is. But hey, who am I fooling? This is Cinemaphile, where any attempts at defending something is taken as weakness(cannot take criticism, wanting an echo chamber circlejerk)
Simp.
>How the frick are you connecting one conversation into another separate tweet?
That's one long chain tweet complaining about how dishonorable Zardoz acts compared to Heinel, morono.
>I don't need good luck to prove something that's not there yet.
You sound desperate to downplay Eva.
>downplay Eva
?
I'm not doing that. I'm saying collective Japanese opinion of VVL, whether it's about Eva or otherwise, doesn't exist yet, since only a handful of them watched the livestreams religiously. There's nothing to prove yet.
>I'm not doing that.
You just did by posting that one tweet that concedes Eva has a bad rep as an example of someone liking Eva LMAO. Desperate.
>Kek this means he might prefer VVL to the anime
LOLwut? What kind of cope is this? In no way did his tweet even suggest that LMAO. It's a continuation of this tweet thread:
It's him explaining why VVL lacks "honor", moron.
>
>I love Eva Zaki Risa Takeo too. (loves side characters in general)
Bro, that's really scraping the bottom of the barrel there in terms of stretches lol.
>Bad reputation in general, not his/her opinion. Keep coping.
>
(You)
>They don't know it exists.
Weird how you say /m/ doesn't now it exists even as you tell another guy that criticism of Voltes V is "coping".
No subs and it being in another language fooled them into thinking it was good lol. I kid, I kid.
What did they mean by this?
Telesuccess will milk the IP 'til the end of time~
Telesuccess is responsible for most if not all the dubbing in the Philippines, including anime and K-drama.
Soon...
If you have a spare $20 million check lying around, we can have Daimos.
I tried to enjoy it but it was too hard. Too much cringe, poor decisions, drawn out conflicts that made it unenjoyable.
Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it a "poor decision". Maybe it's just not for you.
You're being super weird over bland criticism. Did your uncle work on this show?
>How dare you call me out on my weab-colored glasses whining. You must be a shill sent by the production team!
lol "bland criticism". Get over yourself.
That's one of the stans/alts of the rival channel that for some reason keep pushing the "Voltes is a flop" narrative, even if the ratings say otherwise.
Boring episodes 71-75 which was not in the anime version the FIGHTING SCENES of the Voltes Team versus disciples of General Watson. Even the death of General Robinson was a cheap scene, with him dying on the ground.
Who's rewatching the series from Ep 1? I will, but in JP dub of course.
I'm waiting for the Japanese dub. It's my preferred rewatch version, just like with Nicky Larson.
Japanese really like that m'f tank mode, don't they?
Did Voltes lost its right arm in the anime as well? The realism was fascinating in the final duel.
no, it gets slashed on the chest but no limbs were chopped off
Twin Double X Gundam Cannon was series-only. Like Desler and his shield. Or Tank Mode. I like it when they up the stakes.
Which one of you guys wrote this? LOL.
What wiki is that?
Maybe a better word would be consistency. The main cast weren't consistent. Sometimes they would act great in drama scenes and sometimes they were just forcing it because no tears were coming out, like the nth time PAPAAAA was gone. You could hear Little John's exhaustion sometimes when saying his lines. Jamie with her dad was fine along with Mama Armstrong. The best is Zardoz with Zandra.
Villain Wiki. I think it was written by the Playground Autist.
https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Prince_Zardoz_(Voltes_V:_Legacy)
LOL, Playground Autist really trauma dumped on a random wiki.
I remember that anon. I can't believe we have nicknames now.
Kek he can cry all he wants. VVL CGI > all tokus. There's a reason there's more praise for it from the Japanese than their own shit like Seiya, I mean Knights of the Zodiac which was Hollywood funded. $60 million. VVL was $19 million. Which is why the damage control comes from him, not from us.
>VVL CGI > all tokus.
Cringe. I hope you really don't think that way.
More homages.
So does /m/ hate or love this SEA toku show?
It was fine.
I missed a lot of the old mechs, but then again they were just there for padding, so they weren't that important.
So uh, same time next year for Daimos?
Yep. 4 years of sporadic posting once again. Unless we get live updates on the Japanese dub of Voltes V Legacy.
Nah, Voltes V Legacy was in development hell, I doubt Daimos will take as long.
They need to recoup their $19 million funds first.
It probably won't take too long, since this is planned for an international broadcast.
https://twitter.com/NegiKitsu/status/1700693544569368914
Did anyone else notice that the last two episodes of VVL is basically the finale of Jetman? Or just me?
Both involved huge lasers and a one-armed robot stabbing the bad guy. Just saying.
>Maybe it's better not to watch it in a Japanese way. Even if it's Megumi, there's no romance in the original.
What did they mean by this?
I thought "The way you act is very dishorabu" was a meme, but apparently is very real and missing from VVL.
>Enemies and allies are attacked from behind without any hesitation
I don't want to be the guy, but did this guy never know about Nanking soldiers doing exactly what? Or does he admit the Nanking soldiers are dishonorable and no hero would do what they did?
"Your heroes are acting like Nanking guerillas" probably isn't a good look. Or they don't consider Gundam-tier "Real Robot" action as something applicable to Romantic Super Robots?
>attacking enemy and ally from behind without hesitation
Voltes V is dishonorable like ninja.

That's nice to hear
From ONE Japanese person and everything else framed negatively despite not being negative like the honorabru shit.
>no Zardoz in the tweet
>yOuRe CoPiNg
You're not only malding, you're delusional too holy shit
>You're not only malding, you're delusional too holy shit
Did you miss it or are you just moronic?
>From ONE Japanese person
There are multiple criticisms on this thread. You're alleging they all came from one Japanese person KEK?
>That's nice to hear
Are you one of those super fans who can't accept criticism LMAO?
I've said that I don't like Eva, or the romance in general. I've also criticized the inconsistent acting of the main 5.
That's not criticism, dumbass. The Japanese purist's tweets were criticism. It's true that VVL wasn't THE top trend, for example.
>What are you talking about?
I'm talking about your delusional homosexual ass misrepresenting my points. I'm not even sure what you're about. I don't even care about how many people here care about Japanese opinion on VVL, I was talking about Japanese opinion on foreign opinion like Pinoy only.
>Fricking schizo poster who replies to everyone LMAO.
Because the thread is dying and it's clear that no matter how fricking rich a Pinoy is to be able to access Cinemaphile, they can still be dumb as bricks and have zero reading comprehension, since more than half of what you're accusing me of aren't true
Like I said, they're not criticism.
I do, deal with it.
The chain is a wholly different conversation from that one tweet talking about Heinel. You should've taken the hint when I didn't bite the Volt Lander bait
>he's replying to everyone
Look, guys. The playground turbo autist is back.
>The Japanese purist's tweets were criticism.
Oh so any criticism that isn't that one guy, you claim to not be criticism, hence you claiming it's just one guy.
LMAO, you schizo posting freak.
>The chain is a wholly different conversation from that one tweet talking about Heinel.
Yet you're still avoiding replying about that chain reply. As if you're denying it's actual criticism of the show and how Heinel is different from Zardoz lol.
>it's the "I reply to everyone" guy again
Hello, Playground Autist. I see you've returned.
Where's my Soul of Chogokin Voltes V action figure, Shirakura?
LMAO, shoe machine.
This is a good question.
It's going to be shown everyday like Sazae-san.
VVL is best watched like Friends, Seinfeld, or something. Put it in the background until it's an interesting episode.
Posting proof immediately afterwards, no edits or anything
Hi, Playground Autist. Thanks for confirming you schizo post too.
Wait who is supposed to be PlayGround Autist? All I did was make a throwaway comment that some other dude blew out of proportion.
The schizo poster who replies to everyone and troll posts just to derail the thread. It's VERY easy to tell who he is.
Ah, that guy. Yeah, I learned to ignore him. He went insane trying to defend every single criticism the series got.
I hope we see the series on streaming soon! I'd love to see this with better quality soon.
>Wait who is supposed to be PlayGround Autist?
see
Don't let his claims that he's not the Playground Autist or he doesn't mind the duel of Steve and Zardoz in the playground fool you.
Schizo posters like him are quick to contradict themselves and sock puppet replies to their own posts just to stretch out arguments, pretending they're another anon even though it's obvious that it's still them by the way they post.
I can easily tell when it was him, so I didn't respond at all.
Remember to ignore the playground autist as soon as he starts replying to everyone.
