Re: Ikki Tousen - Great Guardians: Complete Collection
Once again, I wonder: Clearly these images, final or not, aren't just being sent out accidentally. So why on Earth would FUNimation, normally a very sensible company, allow their preliminary images to be distributed with awful neon color grading applied? Maybe it's a copyright thing, so they can figure out how far their PR material trickles down, and know at a glance who's using it? There must be a reason, since it keeps happening, and can't just be by accident.
Anyway, after the absurdity of MB's "We Suck When It Comes To Logos" department doing their best/worst with Dragon Destiny, I'm very glad to see that FUNimation has opted for, or at the very least is apparently strongly considering, using Geneon's series logo.asa --> S^2 --> Hayate

Indeed, the color on this looks a bit...radioactive. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves.Comment

Re: Ikki Tousen - Great Guardians: Complete Collection
I'll agree that the colors look very over saturated here, and also that the logo looks great. (No pun intended.) I like the overall look of it.
It definitely looks better than Media Blasters' original preliminary artwork for their release. Though, one could argue that it's not setting the bar very high.
Edit: Thanks for the catch, strikezero00. Normally I double check my posts, this time I took it for granted.

Apparently water coloring is the new rage for anime covers.Last edited by joelgundam01; 09-14-2013, 05:42 PM.Avatar: Satellizer el Bridget from Freezing

Re: Ikki Tousen - Great Guardians: Complete Collection
The artwork chosen here is good to me (ignoring the coloring right now). I'm sure another cover with more accurate coloring will surface soon enough.Comment

Re: Ikki Tousen - Great Guardians: Complete Collection
Wasn't it brought up in another thread that these oddly colored covers are due to images being saved for printing, rather than digital display? I guess it wouldn't be possible to import this into PhotoShop, change the save settings, and not have it considered an alteration instead of an official cover.Originally posted by WTK View PostComment

Re: Ikki Tousen - Great Guardians: Complete Collection
While its a nice cover, the content is a tad deceptive. After all, this is a series about reincarnated feudal warlords battling for control over all "China", taking intense sexual pleasure from the violence. And pretty teen girls in mini-skirts don't quite convey that aspect of the series."The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity too great for the eye of man."

Perhaps, but as retellings of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms go, this sure beats the shit out of those awful “games” Koei put out on the NES.Originally posted by One Vorlon View Post

Yah....., screw the warlords! Everybody knows it's about girls beating the shit out of each other. That is when they're not sexually molesting each other.Originally posted by EyeOfPain View Post
As for the warlords; they should just go to the afterlife and ah, get a life! Assuming there is a life in the afterlife and assuming the afterlife isn't as screwed up as the Soul Society afterlife in which case I don't blame them for wanting to hang around as girls in mini-skirts beating the shit out of......... Ah....., I've come full circle here...... haven't I?
Oh well....., in which case never mind!

Re: Ikki Tousen - Great Guardians: Complete Collection
In all fairness, the manga version plays up the roles of the reincarnated warlords and their destinies to a higher degree than the series ever did. At most the first season made an effort to get the point across that the magatama were heavily tied to their ancestral namesake, and that their lives were effectively destined to repeat history in the modern era. For the most part the anime eschews a great deal of that relation in the subsequent series, and it becomes what we know it for best, being an intense fighting show with a heaping of T & A supplied by torn clothing. It may not be so unique anymore, but I will say that of the bunch of brutal fighting series that have sexualized heroines, Ikkitousen just happens to be my favorite.Comment
