Da Cap'n 2099 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 18 episodes in and this series is up there with Berserk for me. Helps that it reminds me of Berserk, as well. Get on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Finished this and, damn, the feels. Right in the fucking feels. This is, officially, my second favorite anime series after Berserk. No, you're crying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nemo McFly Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 How 'bout a synopsis? What the hell is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Middle schooler Ushio heads down to his basement (where he's told NEVER to go) and finds an ancient tiger-like monster impaled by spear to a wall. After a little back-and-forth, Ushio finally decides to remove the spear freeing said monster, Tora, and inadvertently beginning an adventure to save the world! With its main theme being friendship, this series has a little bit of everything... that's also metal as fuck. #UshioAndTora4Lyfe!

Little Nemo McFly Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Sounds cool enough to check out. I saw a quick clip on youtube - the animation quality of that show looks amazing. I don't have a lot of access to anime - Netflix has an anime section - but nothing I've ever randomly clicked has blown me away or even kept me interested for more than a couple o' episodes. Not very 'on the pulse' when it comes to anime - but I'm easily impressed w/ that distinct art style...sometimes. I do wanna check out Berserk - that looks bloody n' action packed.

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Ushio & Tora is on Hulu and avoid the new Berserk series. Stick to the original and you'll be golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keth Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Dub or sub? It dont matter just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 I watched it subbed. I usually like to watch in its original language the first time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Right on. Its good to know its on hulu too. Those gifs sold me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keth Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Yeah you done good here Panch. Easy to watch, hilarious, great characters, amazing action. There's a couple of movies that came out years ago too I've heard good things about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 So finally finished this. Was gonna post this in my review thread, but I wanted it bump this for people not watching it. I love the art and character designs especially. It's consistently good and engaging. I don't think I ran into a boring episode. Never filler an always important or moving forward. I can see the Berserk comparisons also. Tonally, of course it's nothing like Berserk, but there is something about it that is reminiscent. The series' main villain is legitimately creepy as hell too. That mirror monster's message at the end give me hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Dubs a comin! Good excuse to rewatch it when it happens. I want that video set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hmmm... not sure if I like those voices. I'll use whatever excuse to watch it again, but here's hopin' it doesn't sully my original experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yeah Tora's voice especially will be hard to replace, but they dont sound offensive or anything. Apparently thats his og voice actor from the old anime though. Hakumen will need to sound creepy as fuck too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 The tone feels wrong though. I imagine cartoony voices like DBZ or something. Not, like, an actual dude's voice, you know? I don't know. I'll watch and probably fall in love all over again, but that clip made me cringe a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I will say, as I was watching, I thought Chris Sabat (Piccolo's voice. That his name?) would be a perfect fit for Tora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Let's just start a petition to get the American voice cast of DBZ on U&T. Fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keth Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Rewatching this with @JayneLane and still love it. Why this doesnt have a massive fan base I'll never know. Toonami needs to option it and make it huge. Along with Bacanno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
