It's week nine of the Sci-Fi Channel's Ani-Monday block. This week the schedule goes back to normal and Noein, Tokko, and Street Fighter V II air again.

Triva: Did you know SF V II has two English dubs? That's right. The one we know is the one that was licensed by Manga Entertainment and dubbed by Animaze. The second dub came from ADV Films and it was released in the UK(ADV has distribution rights to the title in the UK). For anyone who has heard the ADV dub, please share your thoughts in this thread.


Here is this week's schedule:

11:00: Noein - "Precious Person"
11:30 Tokko - "A Telephone Call"
12:00: Street Fighter II V: "Hot Blooded Fei Long"
12:30: Street Fighter II V: "Appearance of the Secret Technique"

[J'onn J'onzz]

Man, I almost forgot about this. Monday nights are such a random time to be watching anime.

[Rolling Cloud]

Man, I almost forgot about this. Monday nights are such a random time to be watching anime.

Tell me about it, I almost forgot too :sweat:

[Captain Highwind]

*THBTT* I thought it was Sunday!

*Summer is wearing on my nerves*

[Nel]

I almost forgot too. :sweat: Good thing I came to the forum ten minutes before it airs.

After last week, it seems like an eternity since I've seen Noein and Tokko.

[Kitschensyngk]

"Ani-Monday Ani-Monday!" What the crap are they singing?!

[Ishtar]

Tell me about it, I almost forgot too :sweat:

Yeah, me too. Good thing someone reminded me.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

oh jeez, I give my thanks to Ishtar for mentioning to me about Ani-Monday. If not, I would still be sitting here with my stupid homework.

-You know, sometimes I understand this show perfectly, and sometimes I don't. Floating mask makes no sense, but the dimensional stuff does.
and Haruka is now on my list of females I don't hate in anime.
the list is still small, however
=]

[Rolling Cloud]

oh crap, Karasu! Don't die!

This torque thing is becoming a total Dues Ex machina >_>

[Kitschensyngk]

Is it possible to understand the plot of an anime series and yet at the same time not understand? That's me with Noein right now.

[Ishtar]

Is it possible to understand the plot of an anime series and yet at the same time not understand? That's me with Noein right now.

Yeah, I know what you exactly mean.

[Space Cadet]

Is that the first time Noein's ending credits weren't sped up?

Edit: I love how she says, "I'll cut your *bleep* head off, cutie-pie.

[Kitschensyngk]

"I'll cut your fxxxing head off, cutie-pie." Tee-hee.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

ohh noo! The blond was stabbed by the strange regenerating S&M guys D:

[Classic Speedy]

OK, that "Ani-Love" bumper was just confusing. I couldn't even understand what the characters were saying.

[Rolling Cloud]

You know, they could probably show Elfen Lied on Ani-monday, they know how to handle the material.

Anyways, Ani-love bump! (from Macross Plus o.O)

[Ishtar]

OK, that "Ani-Love" bumper was just confusing. I couldn't even understand what the characters were saying.

Not like it was mean't to make sense anyway, but year it was weird.

[Rolling Cloud]

God, Sakura..stop interevening in Ranmaru's fights. Let him win on his own. :shrug:

[Captain Highwind]

Hey that pink-haired girl's Misao from Kenshin.

I'm getting better at this.

[Paul_Cousins]

And here comes a very good SFV episode.

Are we going to do that "gayness" count on these two SFV episodes like we did two weeks ago on the last two episodes of SFV?

Edit: Good, Sci-fi cut the recap.

[Vyse]

Street Fighter! I miss you. Not really, but hey, we get to see the franchise's Bruce Lee clone, Fei Long.

[Rolling Cloud]

Are we going to do that "gayness" count on these two SFV episodes like we did two weeks ago on the last two episodes of SFV?

Wouldn't seem right to stop :sweat:

[Space Cadet]

lol, they were about to show the recap, but then quickly switched to the title card instead.

[Captain Highwind]

lol, they were about to show the recap, but then quickly switched to the title card instead.

Supah Battle Action MOVIE!

[veemonjosh]

I almost forgot too. :sweat:

Me as well.

Man, EVERYONE forgot about it this week. :sweat:

[Vyse]

They're looking at the skyline. Together. The gayness begins.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

oh God.. everything they say in this show I keep turning into horrible, horrible sexual innuendo.

[Vyse]

Swallow's nest. Every time they say it, down a shot! (Also when they say swallows)

[Space Cadet]

oh jeez, I give my thanks to Ishtar for mentioning to me about Ani-Monday. If not, I would still be sitting here with my stupid homework.

-You know, sometimes I understand this show perfectly, and sometimes I don't. Floating mask makes no sense, but the dimensional stuff does.
and Haruka is now on my list of females I don't hate in anime.
the list is still small, however
=]

Is Chun-Li on this list?

And Ryu joins Goku, Luffy and other shonen protagonists with a big stomach that can eat anything.

[Ishtar]

oh God.. everything they say in this show I keep turning into horrible, horrible sexual innuendo.

Seriously, me too. Also, Ryu reminds me of Goku. Especially how he kept eating that swallow meal. "More please!"

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Is Chun-Li on this list?


Yes! She is. I like her attitude, and she's actually not annoying.



Ryu reminds me of Goku. Especially how he kept eating that swallow meal. "More please!"
I keep telling you people that! It's Goku from another world!

[Rolling Cloud]

oh God.. everything they say in this show I keep turning into horrible, horrible sexual innuendo.

Is that why I can't stop laughing at this show? Srsly, everything sketchy line....

[WarrenSpike500]

Is Ryu trying to beat Luffy & Goku at eating faster and more then everyone else?

[Ishtar]

Is Ryu trying to beat Luffy & Goku at eating faster and more then everyone else?

I'd like to see a crossover where the 3 of them have an eating contest. I'm curious who would win?

[Captain Highwind]

It all goes back to Bruce Lee.

[Classic Speedy]

I must be in the minority when it comes to almost forgetting Ani-Monday. I never forget that it's on. Not sure what's causing you guys' problems. :p

This week's Tokko was OK but next week's is pretty good, mainly because we start to learn just how deep this Phantom conspiracy goes, especially in relation to the government.

[Paul_Cousins]

Yes! She is. I like her attitude, and she's actually not annoying.Which is one of the reasons this show is so rewatchable. None of the main characters are annoying.

Plus the series creators are completely open about the comparisons between Fei Long and Bruce Lee.

[Vyse]

Fei Long, Age 17

He wants to give the public something special.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

FEI LONG IS CAPTIVATED BY THEIR BEAUTY.

And has major eyebrow issues while hes at it.

[Vyse]

Ken has fashion issues.

[Rolling Cloud]

I think that Rock Lee wouldn't feel out of place here. ;)

and, that director looks like the one from Pokemon :sweat:

[Tenku]

Age 17


WHAT

Ken looks so goofy in that outfit D:

I do agree, Chun Li isn't annoying at all. Which is refreshing.

[Ishtar]

Ken has fashion issues.

Seriously. That had me laughing pretty hard.

[Classic Speedy]

Man, watching this episode focused on Fei Long makes me wanna rewatch the U.S. series episode "So You Want to Be in Pictures", where Ken becomes the producer/actor of Fei Long's film and lets the position go to his head, big time.

[Vyse]

Who thinks Fei Long makes those sounds when he, you know.;)
Also, Ken is way too happy.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Ken's taken off his clothing... this could get rough.

ahem

I really do like this show, and not just because of the way it fuels my already horrible mind. Just something about it is entertaining, and very unlike other fighting shows I've watched and hated.

[Ishtar]

Finally, Ken looks so much less ridiculous without that stupid wig.

[Vyse]

DRAGON UPPERCUT!

Ken wins becaused he ruined Fei Long's face? Gay.

[Paul_Cousins]

And they dropped the preview as well. Anyway that was a good fight scene between Fei Long and Ken.

[Ishtar]

DRAGON UPPERCUT!

Ken wins becaused he ruined Fei Long's face? Gay.

I find it hillarious.

[Katsumara]

Did you see the second picture of them running up the steps? They really looked.. like one of them was grabbing the other's crotch. D:

[Master Moltar]

I went from totally hating this OP, to thinking its awesome. Crazy...

[Ishtar]

I went from totally hating this OP, to thinking its awesome. Crazy...

It's actually pretty catchy. I like it.

[Vyse]

I went from totally hating this OP, to thinking its awesome. Crazy...
I agree. It totally beats the original OP.

"I'll put your head through the tunnel"

[XOMiss_Samantha]

That whole 'tunnel' reference just killed me, fyi.
and I agree. I like the OP too.

[Katsumara]

"Do something a little different." Right...

and the opening is catchy.

[Ishtar]

That whole 'tunnel' reference just killed me, fyi.


Oh man. That line just sounded so wrong...:sweat:

[Vyse]

Ken proposed to Chun-Li? Well, she was wearing a tux variant.

PS: Aquaman killed my uncle.

[WarrenSpike500]

Ryu is left holding the bags.

[Captain Highwind]

Everybody wants to fight ninjas.

Old sweaty DIRTY MAN! D:

[XOMiss_Samantha]

What is it with all these damn crotch shots >_>

[Vyse]

CRAP! Didn't that old man eat ENERGY! HARDCORE!:eek:

[Tenku]

Ryu's expression = gold. He was stunned.

[Vyse]

Ken wants to be "upwind" when it comes to Ryu.

[GrapeApe]

Man, I almost forgot about this. Monday nights are such a random time to be watching anime.


man I'm pissed i missed the whole block AGAIN i just barely caught the last street fighter.. sigh.. next week i promise

[animePWNS]

Is it just me, or did Kureha show a little more in the Tokko recap than she did in the actual episode a couple weeks ago?

[Katsumara]

Chun-Li has discovered Ryu and Ken's "Deeper" connection!

[Captain Highwind]

Chun Lee almost discovered their secret. o_O

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Even the girl sees their obvious yaoi romance.

..
the instructions that old man just gave...
they
they..
*beats self with bat*
must..not..think..dirty...things...

[Vyse]

"more like twins than friends"

Admit it, Chun-Li. They're lovers. You will never make it with them. Plus, you are still jailbait.

[Rolling Cloud]

Is it just me, or did Kureha show a little more in the Tokko recap than she did in the actual episode a couple weeks ago?

Wasn't last week's episode centered around Kureha? :confused:


Chun-Li has discovered Ryu and Ken's "Deeper" connection!

And yet, she's still oblivious to the fact that they can't date her :lol:

[Captain Highwind]

Fantastic?

Hell, it's Fantabulous!

[animePWNS]

By showing a little more I meant "showing a little more".;) ;) ;)

[Vyse]

Chun-Li. Destroyer of balls.

Also, Ken and Ryu's look screamed gay couple.

[animePWNS]

Looks like we're going into one of the show's smaller story arcs now, and I think next week we'll get a small hint of things to come.

[Paul_Cousins]

Everybody wants to fight ninjas.

Old sweaty DIRTY MAN! D:Well that happens in the next episode, well technically their were not ninjas but the enemies were dressed like ninjas and clowns. I kid you not.

Truth be told, Chun-Li in the series is a very good fighter, but that is not really shown until later in the series. And Chun-Li at least had enough personal self respect to apologize to her opponent after accidently kicking below the belt.

[Captain Highwind]

Well that happens in the next episode, well technically their were not ninjas but the enemies were dressed like ninjas and clowns. I kid you not.

Kinky. O_o

[Paul_Cousins]

Kinky. O_oYou have no idea. ;)

[PickHut]

Noein: A whole lotta nothing happened during the first half of this episode... then, all of a sudden, they show the friggin apocalypse during the second half. Man, all of that stuff just literally came out of nowhere.

Tokko: Why did they show a box of tissues beside Ranmaru's bed? What was he doing:eek: ?

Alpha Zero Q Plus Infinite: Chun Li's father surviving an explosion he was inches away from, Fei Long staring passionately at Ryu and Ken, Ken being disappointed that Chun Li thought they acted like twins instead of... erm..., and Ryu going into the back of a shop with an old man.

Welcome back, Street Fighter II.

[XOMiss_Samantha]

Tokko: Why did they show a box of tissues beside Ranmaru's bed? What was he doing:eek: ?


You literally read my mind. When I saw that I made a very similar comment.
*cough*

I think for Noein, I'm beginning to understand Karasu and how he wants to protect Haruka. I remember him telling Yuu that he was him from another dimension, and since it's obvious Yuu and Haruka have feelings for each other, I can see how that would translate to Karasu and the Haruka in his own dimension. It's only natural he would want to save Yuu's Haruka, then.

I think that makes sense.

[Zeonic Freak]

Ah, back to the gay comments again, although it was made in SFII, but that could be anything. I mean, maybe Chun Li thought Ken and Ryu were monsters, come on people get your heads outta the gutter.

Yea, i wouldnt want to fight Chun Li, for the fact that she hurt that guys junk for being carless, and even Ken and Ryu were like "yea, were not messing with you". Funny how the Director was like "ah, who cares if they tear half the equipment and statues down, THIS IS GOING TO BE AN AWSOME MOVIE!!"

Ah, if we could all be like Ken where we buy girls whatever they need, then they get sucked into you.


Man, watching this episode focused on Fei Long makes me wanna rewatch the U.S. series episode "So You Want to Be in Pictures", where Ken becomes the producer/actor of Fei Long's film and lets the position go to his head, big time.

Yea i know what your talking about, ive got both seasons on DVD of the US Street Fighter series.

So i assume next week Ken, Ryu and Chun Li learn Hadeo to maybe go back and knock Guile off his feet?...

[Captain Highwind]

Ah, back to the gay comments again, although it was made in SFII, but that could be anything. I mean, maybe Chun Li thought Ken and Ryu were monsters, come on people get your heads outta the gutter.

No monsters in the closet here; more like...well... (http://www.dailymotion.com/MrHighwind/video/4551672)

[Rolling Cloud]

By showing a little more I meant "showing a little more".;) ;) ;)

Oh, that..well, I guess you could say that they did :sweat:

[bigdeath]

Tokko: Why did they show a box of tissues beside Ranmaru's bed? What was he doing:eek: ?


For the same reason I keep tissues near me at all times. ;) :evil:

Oh, how I love you, Street Fighter 2. Doesn't Ken no he can't...errr...you know...with a 15 year old? Well, as they say: If theres grass on the feild then its time to play ball! :evil:

Even ryu was hitting on that sweeeeeeeeeet...*cough*...errr...underage hott! :anime:

And yes, this show can't get any gayer. :shrug:

Also, I can't beileve that no one commented on sakura's slap! I think I felt that. This sakura's got more fighting spirt and...errr...assets than a certain one in naruto. I love her. :D You'll soon learn that saskura loves to slap people and her slaps are burtal. :anime:

Yes, ken and ryu are very rough monsters that like to tear stuff up! :p

I agree that Chun Li is one girl I would not want to fight. BAD GIRL, VERY BAD! NO DOGGY TREAT TODAY! :evil:

Really, they get sucked into you? I think you got that backwards. :evil: :p

[Anyone00]

People remember:

Oh and here's Ryu playing "strip" mahjong with the above character:
http://www.planetshogo.com/dash/reviews/dreamcast/capcomvspsikyo/capcommahjongcover.gif (http://www.planetshogo.com/dash/reviews/dreamcast/capcomvspsikyo/)

[DBZNarutoWarrior]

Yeah, me too. Good thing someone reminded me.

I wasn't so lucky:sweat: :p . I will catch up on it though, not to worry. I'm mainly into Tokko, although I'm not REALLY HARDCORE into it, but it's pretty interesting.

[Zeonic Freak]

Really, they get sucked into you? I think you got that backwards. :evil: :p


I think it goes both ways because it doesnt matter who starts it, just as long as you or her get free stuff...

[bigdeath]

I think it goes both ways because it doesnt matter who starts it, just as long as you or her get free stuff...

LOL, amen! :anime: Oh, my mind is so dirty.

[D Dubbs]

I must be in the minority when it comes to almost forgetting Ani-Monday. I never forget that it's on. Not sure what's causing you guys' problems. :p

Yeah, same here. How can you forget about something as awesome as Noein? ;)

and, that director looks like the one from Pokemon :sweat:
Oh man, you are so right...he even acts the same way...

I went from totally hating this OP, to thinking its awesome. Crazy...
Yeah, it's growing on me...but Noein's (and even Tokko's) opening puts it to shame...

By showing a little more I meant "showing a little more".;) ;) ;)
Yeah, I watched the subs since my cable was out, and they do indeed show her entire breast...nipple and all. I guess they're taking the ecchi to the next level...:sweat:
Noein: A whole lotta nothing happened during the first half of this episode... then, all of a sudden, they show the friggin apocalypse during the second half. Man, all of that stuff just literally came out of nowhere.
Again, I had to watch the subs for part of the episode (stupid thunderstorms), and I noticed that Manga is cutting scenes and moving them to different places to make commercial breaks flow smoother...

Noein: As others have mentioned, you know what's going on, except that you don't. I think that's the true brilliance of the show right there. Also, I really hope younger Yuu stops moping around and gets off his ass sometime soon.

Tokko: I'll accept this show. The premise is really stupid, it has horrible pacing and there's way too much of the violence-fanservice-swearing mix, but somehow it manages to be fun to watch.

Street Fighter: To be honest, I found this show the least entertaining of the night. I thought that they were going to fight all around the world, not just in China. And it seems like they'll be in China for at least another episode. Also, I have to disagree with you all and say that Chun Li is rather annoying. For God's sake, she spends half the episode on a shopping spree. Yeah, that's quality entertainment... :sad:

[Captain Highwind]

she spends half the episode on a shopping spree. Yeah, that's quality entertainment... :sad:

I would also like to note, that was a very gloomy-looking mall. Just something about it didn't look right to me.

[bigdeath]

Do you guys realise that tokko's got some full nude shower scenes coming up? I wonder how Sci-fi will handle them. :sweat:

[Space Cadet]

Do you guys realise that tokko's got some full nude shower scenes coming up? I wonder how Sci-fi will handle them. :sweat:

What episode?

[Zeonic Freak]

Do you guys realise that tokko's got some full nude shower scenes coming up? I wonder how Sci-fi will handle them. :sweat:

With the "white blur of anti lust"...

[bigdeath]

What episode?

Wow, fast response. I guess this got your attention. The showers are near the end so in a few weeks. Sorry, but my computer recently crashed so I don't have the tokko eppys anymore or I'd check right now. :crying:
