C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Not Animation per say, but Thunderbolt Fantasy is a Japanese/Taiwanese co-production that aired in Japan last summer. It's a 'Sword Saint' style puppet show and it is incredible. I got put on it by a friend towards the end of the 13 episode 'season'. It's truly a marvel to behold, and a great story to boot with a TON of twists and turns. The character designs all look like they were done by Yoshitaka Amano (they weren't), but the script was penned by Gen Urobuchi (of Madoka Magika!). I just recently introduced it to Panch and he's about 10 episodes in. Had always intended to make a thread, but never got around to it until now (actually Panch gave me a heads up that if I didn't put one up soon HE was gonna do it LOL!) Here's the first episode so anyone who's interested can get a taste. Full season is up on Crunchyroll. Really a great show, and a second season is currently in production, so there's more puppetry goodness to come!

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I LOVE this show and have been wanting to talk about it on here since Jon introduced it to me. This has Axel's name written all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Can I also mention how much I love the Dance Dance Revolution intro theme? Edited July 23, 2017 by The NZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
