Joe here, Next episode we'll be reviewing the Final Fantasy V sequel movie, Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals! Make sure you watch the movie before the episode, as I doubt most of you have never heard of this movie. Unfortunately, it is not available to watch on anything but VHS, but if you wish to purchase the VHS copy, you can click HERE for the first half, and HERE for the second. Technically it's not a movie, but rather a 4 episode miniseries, but we'll be reviewing it as a movie... You can also watch it on YouTube, HERE: Be sure to review the movie on this thread, we'll be picking out some of the stuff we like when we record the episode (11AM MT Sunday morning 9/7/14). Happy Grinding! -Joe |

So Ive been listening to past episodes and got round to this review. I have a few points for you. 1, You were right when you said that anime isn't a genre, it's an art style, but to me when I say I enjoy anime, that's what I mean. I enjoy watching different genres in that art style. I can't speak for everyone but I wontwatch a specific anime if I don't like the art style, even if I would enjoy the story. It's all about the art! 2, You also brought up the sexualisation of younger characters and said you don't like anime because of it. Again, I agree! But to say that then about all anime is a gross generalisation of anime. There are DEFINITELY series and movies that over sexualise young characters and the same COULD be said of some live action western movies. Finally, this movie/OVA was just hilarious. I think if you watch it tongue in cheek it's not too bad. For being released in the mid 90's isn't not tooooo bad.  P.S. Don't take this post personally or as a rant or anything! I still LOVE the podcast. Just giving you my 2cent. |

There isn't anything to take personally everyone has their own opinions infact I too watch anime and I agree that some is really weird. Joe just loves to rant about how he doesn't like it but he has all the episodes of neon genesis evangelion, which has a naked clone of the main kids mom at the age of 15 so you know thats kinda funny. As for western practices you're right we sexualize everything and everybody in action movies until you leave the movie with blue balls.

Yeah, it wasn't that bad. I just don't think it was necessary.

I actually have both parts on vhs. The old warehouse video in my town closed down years ago, when they, they sold their entire inventory. They had a large anime section. I bought most of them since i rented them often and had to have em. The 2 part set came with the bulk purchase.
I didnt know it was related to ffV till much later on when it was released on the psone.
