Oban Star Racers

I just finished watching pic related and it was really nice although I've never seen it brought up here. What is Sup Forums's opinion on it?

fantastic art, beautiful music. Great characters.
could not tell you anything about the plot. it was interesting by 'racing story' standards, but that ... isn't saying much. None of it stuck with me.

where are their noses?

The ending was a bit weird but I found it satisfying. Everything had the closure it needed except maybe Jordan.

It's pretty much God space god vs 40k Chaos god doing a whole lot of shit in the back ground and using the races as ways to get it done

The French have a thing with anatomy.

it's universally loved on Sup Forums
anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves

I was worried that someone would've told me to go to Sup Forums.

i've never seen the jap dub but i kinda want to and also the french dub just to compare to the english

glad they kept the jap ending song even for the english dub though. yoko kanno is great

I couldn't find either with english subs so I gave up and went for the english dub.

Remember how a blind Aquaman can casually bitchslap an ambushing Deathstroke?

Jordan got one hell of a cockblock, yo. Right? I dunno, maybe they could work something out when he's off taking sick days.

In my headcanon he just teleports like Satis did to go back to Earth. It'd suck to see everyone he knows die before him though.

Pretty good, but the characters would have looked better with noses.

Also, Don Wei is fucking retarded.

Why are her tits so weird?

daily reminder that Jordan was a better Avatar than Korra

...

Looks nice, I might take a look at it, I'm desperate for a good show

i know theres a mega link somewhere but i lost it sorry

I didn't like the ending, felt directionless.

The rest of the show was quite good.

Yeh well as long as he gets that molly puh amiright?

Jokes aside the story was actually done pretty well, the ending was just jarring and didn't have much to celebrate over - no great connection with aliens, no new era of expansion for Molly to lead... just settling for something typical. Understandable but disheartening.

I liked the ending. Molly just wanted to have a typical family after all. I wish we knew what happened to Rick though, he was actually a better character than I initially thought he would be

>I didn't like the ending, felt directionless.

How so?

Really enjoyed it. Felt like someone took the Pod-racing from Episode 1, and made it actually fun and a thrill to watch each episode. And the themes it handled were engaging and never too preachy. It even quite a pleasant surprise that the Disney broadcast kept everything in instead of dumbing it down.

All of it is on youtube so it's easy to watch.

>tfw shipped molly with the alien elf prince
>tfw out of nowhere generic human guy gets her at the end

>shipping molly with alien scum
Serves you right

I liked the no nose aesthetic. Made cute characters cuter and strange characters stranger.

And yes. He was either retarded or more blind than Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder combined.

He went on to work on Symphogear and Space Dandy.

O died for our sins.

I don't know what's better, that opening or this ending.

There's a porn comic of this made by Area that I consider one of the best damn porn comics ever.

Should I get into the series?

Yes

Should I get into the comic?

Totally.

Area is my favorite artist in the history of porn (right behind the legendary PBX), don't know if he/she's recent or not, but he draws expressions like no other artist and all of his/her porn is on model.

He/She's doing that long ass Star vs. comic and I love every page of it

Honestly I like the magi one better, but it'll never get finished.

I didn't liked how rick left when he had info about canaletto, he could have warned them, and also he was the best character and his relationship with molly was cute, it was not fair

Cuck.

ONDAI CAN'T HAVE DIED. I WILL NOT ACCEPT IT!

Rick had his memory about Canaletto wiped when he went to the shaman.

I HAVE PREDICTED EVERY POSSIBILTY

same designer

It was suprisingly great.

Not quite. Thomas Romaine did help create both, but he was more fully in charge of Code Lyoko where Oban was a collaboration with Savin.

That's not cuckoldry you fucking retard.

Sorry. I wish I was better at managing my time. Technically the sad panda version's got all of the pages now, I just need to go back and cleaning up the old pages.

I really like Rick and Molly... I should draw more of them, but I need to rewatch the series.

Always glad when these kinds of threads inspire artists to draw some new content.

Sauce?

Why do the French sometimes create little jewels of animation but never export them?

Not him but the last oban thread inspired me to draw this

I've never seen anyone draw beer goggles.

It's neat but man you sure do love your zig zag lines. Keep on doing your thing. Whatever it is. Certainly unique.

...

>there will never a full version of this song, or the Cybersix theme

Fuck. All. Of. You.

How long did it last?

Had two seasons. Both excellent.

Breddy gud.

Because animation age ghetto and US cultural imperialism.
You think french people don't want to bring a couple Academy Awards home? But instead it's often things like Big Hero 6 that win.

Prince Aikka is best boy and I'm glad that he won the Evabowl

What are you talking about bro

I dunno senpai Molly and Jordon kissed at the end, and Eva was perfectly fine having Aikka become the Avatar. Aikka can't reproduce with a human to continue the royal family anyways.

Just started ep 1 of this holy fuck this is good. What am I in for lads?

Unpredictable races. I really liked how I couldn't predict the outcome of almost all the races. Get out before you get spoiled

Thanks .

>Aikka can't reproduce with a human to continue the royal family anyways.

Says who?

Earth's team in the race outcomes was slightly believable, in that they were not really winning as much as they were just barely scraping along enough to not be eliminated.

Biology

That's just bullshit.

Generally speaking, you can't reproduce with other species.

Except we have never had the chance, so that doesn't necessarily mean we can't.

Just because Ligers are infertile despite the parent tigers and lions being compatible, doesn't mean that exact limit has to apply to humans.

The exceptions to this rule are very few, and they are often genetically similar like the tiger and lion or donkey and horse. Nourasians evolved on a completely different planet with completely different conditions. The chances are next to impossible.

Caliborn?

That's what concubines are for
Alternatively, he's gonna be the fucking king, who's going to tell him he can't cheat on his wife with the banging hot alien

Don't remind me.

I feel you, my friend.
At least Aikka and Molly can get hitched and live a good life while Jordan has to run the universe.

>get hitched
I think you mean fuck like horny animals when they reunite in ten years, initiate diplomatic relations, and establish trade between neighboring galactic civilisations.
But mostly just fuck like horny animals.

I like the way you think.

I'm surprised how much the show kept from the pilot even though it was made 5 years later.

youtube.com/watch?v=sZT3rbtKWBM

but Oban is scotch.

i remember seeing molly as early as 2001 so i guess this was what i watched

Haha yeah i got overboard with those in that drawing, i still like how the arrow-2 came out tho.
I made a molly with our bro ondai for you guys!

Nice work user. This show needs more art.

Are the people in the show mexicans?!?!

maybe jordan is half mexican, but wei it´s a chinese name and don wei looks super asian

Still GOAT hypnosis scene.

I purchased the DVD set in both NTSC and PAL. Worth the money. Unfortunate it wasn't animated in 1080p.

it´s it from madman ? because i thought jetix didn´t release any of their original shows shame because i also loved super robot monkey hyperforce go

That racer was fucking weird

I bought the DVD sets years ago on Amazon(USA) and Amazon-UK. A nice full-color Vinyl figure of Molly too.

>A nice full-color Vinyl figure of Molly too.
I've been looking for that with no success

I don't know how hard it is to find them anymore. I got mine when it was still cheap and easy to get. I think you can still find them in weird colors, if you don't mind having to re-paint it.

Says you.

that is the ugliest art style i have ever seen
it's like "how to manga drawing book style" on steroids

...

In animals, this usually boils down to two factors. You have to have the same number of chromosomes, and that the combination of the two creatures can't have a specific deformation that results in death. As an example, humans cannot crossover with a chimpanzee, because a chimpanzee has one more chromosome than a human does. Humans were able to cross with homo-erectus, neanderthal, and several other early men, because they had the correct number of genes.

All rules fly out the window when crossing plant species. Some flowers will cross with trees. Anarchy!

So until we boink a green-skinned woman or a catgirl from space, there's no way to know for sure if crossbreeding is entirely off the table.

Not that the possible lack of interspecies reproduction would stop us from fucking those space girls.

Donkeys and horses have different amounts of chromosomes and they can create mules. I still doubt that a species from another planet would be able to reproduce with humans though. It would be like trying to mate a cat and a bear.

What the hell is up with these two though

There have been cases of purely female species reproducing among themselves. I believe one example was a type of lizard.

Why not? If they're close enough to humans in terms of physiology, that means they could be close enough to reproduce with. Hell, most scientists already assert that other lifeforms couldn't have body structure like ours, but if they did, then it only stands to reason they could be compatible with us.

Cute Kitty.

One of them probably has to have a nearly full set of what the other has, which I assume applies with the mule. In the human-chimp comparison, two of the chimps chromosomes is basically the contents of a single human chromosomes that has been split in two in the chimp. If you could glue the two chimp chromosomes together into a single chromosome, it might be complete enough for the gears to mesh with the human counterpart. Of course there are no hard fast rules, just the way things usually trend.

Look up parthenogenesis.

does this mean my xenophile fantasies can actually be real

if only there weren't chance like a 99% the child will end up a garbled organ mess
