Cyberpunk is kinda losing its appeal, the closer we're coming to living it ...

Right? I love cyberpunk but it’s not fun we got the shitty cyberpunk dystopia and not the awesome one with cybernetics and neon

rockerface@lemmy.cafe · 42 pts · 145d (1 reply)

Cyberpunk had always been dystopian tho. The point of dystopia is that it looks like utopia until you're in it.

CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 145d

That was the joke, we got the really shitty one

yeah, we're supposed to get cybernetic upgrades not cybernetic downgrades dammit

God at least some shadowrun action right? I want trolls with autocannons and gnomes hacking into megacorps - not ketamine addicted techbro cybernazis

lesbian game night has consisted of goblin with a fat ass in between rounds of frosthaven so mashing all three of those canons (a shadowrun goblin with a phat ass in frosthaven, shown by standing next to one of the crab people i guess? that's how it was in my brain use your own imagination it'll be more fun) just gave me quite the dopamines. thank you.

That just makes it even better!

There are different types of cyberpunk dystopias, post cyberpunk and regular cyberpunk dystopias

I know, I’m old, I love cyberpunk. I was making a joke. Not dissecting the larger genres into sub-genres.

cyberpunk anime with guts and griffith

Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 145d

Uhhhh, blame! fits the bill. I’ve recently started reading it after stumbling upon the movie. This might sound like low praise, but I can’t figure out any other way to describe it without trampling over some facet of its mystique. It’s worth the time

FenrirIII@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 145d (1 reply)

Androids with boobs

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 6 pts · 144d

An easy excuse to get that nudity tag while somehow arguing its better cause they are plastic.

RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 145d

"VHS"

I still got some on LaserDisk.

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 11 pts · 145d (2 replies)

And right at the end of this era and somehow hitting the bullseye of all the tropes while also being a meta commentary on them:
The Big O

Holytimes@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 144d (1 reply)

Absolutely under rated anime. It's up there with the likes of cowboy Bebop. Yet always forgotten. Truely sad.

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 4 pts · 144d

Its a truly wild rild and so good. Producer of Akira and Director and writer of Appleseed kinda feels obvious.

_stranger_@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 145d

Just re watched ghost in the shell the other day Hell yeah.

Anyone else remember trying to catch anime on the sci-fi network on Saturday mornings? It never seemed to start at a consistent time and it was usually Vampire Hunter D.

Back before anime was even close to mainstream and hardly anything was translated.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 144d

i wish i had known the trick was to stay up late friday night.

FrChazzz@lemmus.org · 1 pts · 143d

Back when it was referred to as "Japanimation." I used to watch the Saturday morning anime. I caught Green Legend Ran on there and remember really liking it. I need to revisit that one at some point.

But DBZ was the biggest of the 90's.

Zoomboingding@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 145d (2 replies)

Goku was naked a few times

ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 144d (1 reply)

He wasn't the only one.

Zoomboingding@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 143d

We don't count Puar /s
It's been like 20 years since I watched through Dragonball though. I know Bulma is at least topless a few times. Besides that, what? Oolong and Krillin once or twice?

Urotsukidōji enters the chat to comment on nudity ...

"erotic horror manga" is something i didn't expect to exist. i constantly underestimate the japanese.

A new Patlabor anime can't come soon enough.

Tahl_eN@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 145d (2 replies)

Is Tekkaman technically mecha? It's armor, not a big robot like Gundam/Macross/Patlabor/Zeorymer/Escaflone

Capybara_mdp@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 144d

Yep- starts out like guyver, but the main character can’t properly transition so he needs a robot buddy as assistant (and cannon platform)

FenrirIII@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 145d

I recall he had a giant mecha buddy at some point

caseyweederman@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 144d (2 replies)

What's the nudity one from? When I was very young, I caught about two minutes of an anime on public television in a different language.
Did a dude knight climb up the tower wall, see her, and almost fall off? Is she changing the dressing on an arrow wound?
I didn't really discover anime for over a decade after that so I might be misremembering the art style altogether.
But I sure filed it away as "Something Interesting".

sukhmel@programming.dev · 2 pts · 144d (1 reply)

Finding the source was a bit complicated, but it seems to be from episode 7 of DNA², the description of which does not match what you remember: https://web.archive.org/web/20120621103752/http://www.hinata.xpg.com.br/paginas/index2.php?page=%5BRaFa%5D%5BFiLsk%5D%2Fdna2.html

Thank you for looking into that. You're right, that's not the one I remember.

what's the blue spider as the bottom left? I swear my parents watched this when I was like 8 and definitely not ready for it

AscendantSquid@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 145d (1 reply)

I think it's from Wicked City, it's an anime movie from 1987

AND?! what's wrong with starting out with these perfectly viable/plausible plot and visual design concepts? If anything that medium was prescient. People be asploding Neo Tokyo on the regular now in their tiktoks for the memeslingery.

@FoxtrotDeltaTango @GlitchGhost Mix in this for Italy.
Free to swap MLP for Transformers... everybody knew them at the time.

Somehow, the lesser / local tv networks were able to get Anime and Filmation along side with a mix of unusual old movies and show. Tv was once a lot more interesting...

Goldrake Topolino magazine My little pony Gen 1. Filmation he-man.
