>>13201455

>>13201694
Ha.
>>13201396
Props for posting 1990s Kawajiri Birdy.
>>13202121
Also I wanted to encode the R2Js of the OVA, but they aren't on ADC and share/PD didn't have them either when we were looking.
Damn it Japan, why are there so little Kawajiri BDs?
>>13202121
I want desperately for there to be a remake of the OVA done in the classic style that finishes the story. Ushio and Tora is a remake done in 90's art, so it's possible.
I Birdy often. I just wish the OG Birdy was on Hulu along side Decode, so I could Birdy all the time.
>>13202180
Too bad Funi never picked up the license after Central Park Media went under.
Who was the better Birdy, Kotono Mitsuishi or Saeko Chiba?

>>13202191
With these older shows you want to watch R2J rips by non-shit encoders whenever possible anyway, it gets kind of important with this type of video. In this case, the rip by Rabbit Force, which should be on bakabt.
How does one becomes Birdy
>>13202225
You die. It is a neccesary, but not nearly sufficient condition, mind you.
>>13202267
A small price to pay to enjoy life as a superpowered space babe in a leotard.
>>13202296
You don't really become her. Rather she lets you use her body while yours is broken.
>>13202310
So, there is the obvious question. What will she do when you try to masturbate.
>>13201419
>>13202310
But the body changes to your form when you're in control, so it's fucking pointless. All you really get is a girl inside your head.
>>13202335
Well in the manga, Tsutomu tried but was interrupted by a team of Space Mice investigators sent to assist Birdy before he could start.
>>13202267
80's hair best hair.
>>13202352
That'll do
>>13202352
And you get the be in her head.
That's not my bag, but I can see the appeal.
>>13202375
Love the robot designs in the original manga. They seem more intimidating than the ones in Decode and the Remake manga.

>>13203200
>the QUALITY remakes
So you haven't actually watched Decode and you've only seen stills of the action scenes?
Anybody else think the manga has the best plot but the worst versions of Tustomu and Birdy as characters?
>>13205200
Obviously, what did you expect when he posted that?
>>13205798
>the worst versions of Tustomu and Birdy as characters
Like, how do you mean?
>>13205200
I watched all of it actually
>>13205998
Birdy tries to leave Tsutomu for dead and only brings him back to the ship because Tuto catches her in the act.
Tsuomu is just a smarmy little prig who constantly nags her, and never really tries to understand her, even after seeing how traumatic her childhood was. They aren't buddies like they were in the OVA and Decode.
He's still useful as a jr. detective partner, and Birdy is still fun and flashy, but they aren't as likable. Which is a shame because the manga has some really intricate conspiracy sub-plots.
Birdy has everything you could possibly want in a series. Action! Pathos! World-building! Well-written, sympathetic characters! Hobo fights!
>>13207726
>That mild annoyance at the whole event
I'd probably be into shonens a lot more if they had protagonists like Birdy more often. She really, really enjoys this shit and doesn't get all dramatic about things.
There is an alternate universe where Birdy The Mighty was a successful shounen series with a full TV anime that told a complete story, and has multiple film and OVA adaptations and Patlabor is Masami Yuuki's neglected, underappreciated franchise.
>>13207953
Patlabor wasn't just Yuuki's creation. The manga was, but that was his bit of the IP.

Just watched it, wasn't expecting it to be so goofy. Overall pretty good.
Anyone got that gif of Tsutomu doing the Cid Highwind Stride?
Hold on, someone sum up this series/show
I have no idea what it is, and it looks like it's more than T and A
>>13209504
I liked the Charlie Chaplin/Buster Keaton bits with Birdy controlling Tsutomu. Nice little touches of levity that balanced the more serious scenes.
>>13209567
While pursuing a criminal suspect, alien police officer Birdy Cephon Altera accidentally kills a human teenager named Tsutomu Senkawa. While hisbody is being repaired, she hosts his mind inside of her body. In addition, Birdy's body can reconfigure itself to resemble Tsutomu's (though Birdy can override Tsutomu's will and is the dominant mind). The two become a sort of buddy cop duo, and face off against alien criminals, killer robots, and cyborgs from the CIA among other threats. There's not really much TnA. Birdy's costume is meant to look like an acrobat's leotard because it suits her aerial/grappling fightng style, just like Superman's costume was supposed to look like a circus strongman. There was a manga from 1985, an OVA from 1996, a remake manga which ran from 2003-2013, and an anime adaptation called "Birdy The Mighty Decode" which ran from 2008-2009 but which desperatly needs another two seasons and is sorely underappreciated.
Anybody else think we were going to see Birdy turn against the Federation is season 3? She already resented the brass for using Altan civilians as bait during the terrorist attack, and she knows what kind of sketchy experiments they did on Nataru. It seemed like it was going in that direction.
>>13211387
>thinking there will be a season 3
>>13211390
I'm speaking hypothetically.
Did any of you ever play Gravity Rush? Watching a couple of the Decode webms really reminded me of it.
Time for some fresh Birdy webms, right out of the oven.
>>13212207
Really my only exposure to this series is finding a VHS of it in a bargain bin at a Big Lots in the late 90s, liking the picture on the front and side (It had one of those things going on where each VHS in a set had a piece of a picture and you were suppose to put them all together to get a nice picture), and finding what I read on the back really interesting. But I was a dumb kid then that didn't wanna buy it because "it had a picture of a girl on it, people might think I'm fag".
Always wanted to watch it though. Actually forgot about what it was called until just a couple years ago. Annoyed the hell out of me because until I found it again I honestly thought I just made that memory up.
According to some manga spoilers on 8ch:Birdy gets captured after a fight with Nechula after trying to stop her from killing Revi so Birdy can arrest her. Weakened from the fight, she gets knocked out by Gomez and put into a medical tank which also suppresses her strength. It turns out Revi has been working with the surviving Alterian Emperor, who's body is frail and dying, and who's consciousness had to be placed into one of Revi's robots. The Emperor is attracted to Birdy, and wants her to give birth to his heir because she's a superior Alterian genetic specimen. Birdy refuses the offer, and says that Ixorians are sterile anyway. It turns out that Revi found a way around this through advanced artificial insemination techniques (which is how Gomez and his wife were able to have a daughter). Birdy tries to think of an escape plan, but it turns out she doesn't need one because Gomez and Chigira help her break out before she can be the Emperor's babymama. So Birdy gave up the chance to be the new Empress of the Alterian Empire because she didn't want to have the Emperor's creepy clone baby.
>>13212314
>Birdy is so fine that it becomes a plot point
>>13212317
That and the super-powers. if you knew a chick with superpowers, you'd marry that girl.
I might have to redo these webms at some point, but here's what I've got for now.
I've seen the remake, how does it compare to the original?
>>13212352
Poorly.
>>13202352
>>13202352
not even a real girl more like a weird alien
>>13212861
>Not a real girl
Being an alien doesn't preclude her from being a girl.
>>13212861
That isn't a bonus?
The LD covers look quite good.
>>13212318
Only if it's safe to do so. Birdy has this bad habit of punching people in half that she really shouldn't.
>>13213206
Birdy is controllable adult. But imagine she has a baby that takes after her.
>>13207726
Now to be fair she shouldn't have been there to being with, intruding on the domain of the homeless.
But neither should they.
>>13213375
Well in decode, she didn't seem that bad when she was a kid and some of her behavior stems from her environment
>>13212352
The original is better executed but doesn't really go into depth about anything at all.
>>13213428
What this anon said. The Original OVA has the best execution, but Decode goes deeper into Birdy and Tsutomu as characters and really explores why their friendship is so meaningful.
Animation is great in both.
Why the fuck does no one finish translating the new manga once and for all? So many retards doing different version of some popular series and no one grabs this gem.
>>13214300
Man I recall going "yay" when somebody started doing it in... 2008 I think. Scanlation effort ended soon after.
>>13214300
It's something about the mangaka. His run of Patlabor is still untranslated, too.
>>13215522
I have both of the volumes that Viz published, and they're flipped left to right.
Which Birdy had the best costume?
>>13217922
What did you expect from a late 80's release?
>>13219715
Either of these >>13204896
thought the black version is more delicious
Although I like all of her decode outfits
her space helmet and outfit were neat
>>13219892
It amuses me that the space suit has simulated cleavage.
>>13219892
OVA
>>13219715
That's tough, man. I can for sure say I like OVA Birdy's hair the most, but all of her outfits are really good.
>>13220123
Not really, its just forming a seal around her existing cleavage.
>>13221584
Her shark ship was pretty cool for what little we got to see of it
>>13221584
Well, it looks like simulated cleavage and that's what counts.
>TFW we'll never see a Birdy/Captain Marvel crossover
>TFW we'll never see Tsutomu compare/contrast with Rick Jones
>TFW Birdy would crossover well with DC's Captain Marvel too.
>>13223705
I am not a cape fan and as such have zero problems with this.
Anybody else have the laserdisc version of the OVA? It comes with some promotional material and apparently Birdy is only supposed to be 16 in that version, so she's only a year older than Tsutomu and the same age as his sister. Kind of weird how they made her older in the remake manga and Decode (late teens, early 20's), they usually make characters younger.
>>13224744
That's quite interesting. It makes more sense with her at least in her 20's (or their equivalent to it) given the role she plays. A 16 year old dressing up as a space hooker to get information out of a giant dog probably would've turned some heads, come to think of it.
When they do make season 3, they need to show Birdy fighting the cyborgs from the Pentagon.
>>13226562
>>13226663
>>13226562
She what now?
>>13226685
Cyborg secret agents from the US government come to Japan to investigate all the alien shenanigans, find a connection between Tsutomu and recent events, kidnap Hiyamiya for information, which leads to Birdy fighting them to rescue Hiyamiya.
>>13224769
Not really. In the summertime high school basically looked like a whorehouse, maybe school uniforms aren't such a bad idea.
School sucked but at least there was eye candy galore. Another reason to hate Muslims though.
>Tuto
Goddamn, he was a high tier husbando in Decode.
>>13226705
Of course.
>>13226726
Nip schools have uniforms, it's a bit of a moot point here.
>>13226751
Is everything that Birdy wears insanely lewd? I mean, even her loli getup wouldn't look out of place on a stripper. In fact, it's more lewd than what she ends up wearing.
>>13226705
>>13226775
I actually think the cyborg fight is the best one in the manga. Shame it was never animated.
>>13226786
She was raised by a robot under the supervision of a Grasshopper and a Tyranasaurus, who's to say what lewd is in that culture?
>>13226792
This is also the point in the manga when Capella shows up, and her metods are a little more...hands on than in Decode.
>>13226796
Her species seems to have fairly similar standards for clothing and modesty as humans. That shit is lewd no matter which way you slice it.
>>13226818
Yeah, but that's going by fanart.
>>13226818
Maybe they just cover for protection and not modesty.
>>13226838
What do you mean? That design is present in Decode at the very least, as are normal civilians. We also saw how she dresses when she pretends to be a fancy hooker.
>>13226751
I really thought he was going to hang around longer, that death caught me off balance.
>>13226842
The Alterian empire seemed to have the ancent warrior mindset where armor is supposed to show off your phsyique/warrior body. That aesthetic seems to have been carried over into the Federation.
>>13226862
Whatever excuse will do. I'm more worried about Birdy's warrior body here, if you know what I mean.
>>13226927
I've always got the impression that her uniform was supposed to look like a gymnast's leotard because it suits her aerial/grappling fightng style, just like Superman's costume was supposed to look like a circus strongman.
>>13226786
...anon, it's a reference to Kintaro's costume.
I honestly liked that they were pretty consistent about her wearing her complete uniform whenever she was interacting with her superiors or the rest of the organization.
I liked the pacing of the original manga more than the remake. The remake manga drags on too much, probably because it's trying to retell a monthly series in a weekly format. That's not to say that the remake is bad, but I understand why Decode was such a liberal interpretation when the manga had only covered so much ground. I actually wish to remake had been monthly, then maybe it would have been more compressed storywise. What's worse is that Yuuki still had the magazine tell him to end the manga early, sothe conclusion was rushed. He's working on two series right now, so I wonder if he'll ever get the time to finish Birdy properly.
>>13227162
The point is that the Birdy is worryingly fuckable at all currently known stages of its life cycle.
Posting some pasta from another OST thread:
I have yet to hear anything that tops Yugo Kanno's soundtrack for Birdy The Mighty. The orchestral pieces are majestic, sweeping, and absolutely gripping. The rock/electronic pieces combine thrashing guitars with forceful drum 'n' bass beats to emphasize urgency. And finally, there are peaceful, poppy tracks which combine live instruments with electronica to create this warm, urban sound.
Yet another reason why Birdy was such an under-appreciated series.
SIDE Birdy is just fantastic. The piano opening, then the upbeat electronic and string sections kick in, then back to the piano and DAT SWEET SAX.
I don't have the best vocabulary when describing music, but it has this sense of heart-racing adventure, yet there's something familiar about it. You'd think the saxaphone would make it sound dated, but it doesn't. It just sounds so vibrant and exciting and it fits in perfectly. And it's just so idio syncratic with the show. I can't imagine Birdy jumping around Tokyo to any other piece of music, just like I can't imagine Superman without John Williams' signature theme.
SIDE Tsutomu is very heavy on the brass section, and when it almost sounds like it belongs in a 90's playstation RPG, but that makes perfect sense when you consider his role in the series. He's the young, naive protagonist about to embark on a grand adventure with his mysterious new friend. It's a little more understated than Birdy's theme, but that's appropriate too. Birdy is the flashy, bombastic one of the pair (with her more somber side as signified by the piano), but Tsutomu is the one being introduced to this grand universe.
>>13201396
>80's Birdie
YES
I want a remake of the OVA in the 80's style.
>>13226751
Say, what does he use that appendage for?
>>13230863

>>13231751
Nevermind. Found it.
http://www.doujinshi.org/index.php?P=BOOK&ID=86094
>>13213375
Well, Gomez's daughter didn't inherit any of his Ixorian abilities, but that's a question of whether or not Revi tinkered with the process or if Ixorian genes are just too difficult to pass down. I'm guessing it was the former, since part of the reason the Emperor wanted Birdy to be the mother of his heir was because of her unique powers (even for Ixorians she's supposed to be uniquely strong, and can even channel her powers into a pure energy form.) She's probably even stronger than Gomez, but lost her previous fights to him because she lacks his speed and specialized military training.
It's curious that Revi wouldn't just take a few skin cells from Birdy or blood samples from a previous fight and create an egg to be fertilized with the emperor's genetic material in an artificial womb, but I guess the emperor wanted a true heir, even if his real body is too old to do the deed and his android body doesn't have the equipment.
I think it was implied somewhere that Birdy and Tsutomu were created from genetic samples of members of the Alterian Royal family, which s why they both share characteristics with the emperor (plus there was that hotsprings arc in volumes 16-17 where Tsutomu's class visits the resort which turns out to be run by refugee descendants of Alterian royalty and one of the girls looks like Birdy with brown hair).
It makes sense for super soldiers like Birdy and Gomez to be sterile, but I wonder why Birdy is functionally asexual while Gomez is able to have a wife and a family like a normal human.
>>13202375
>>13230672
>>13230863
Why does 80's hair look so goofy in photographs but so stunning and stylish in drawings? I just run my fingers through that luxurious lion's mane of a Birdy's hair for hours and hours.
>>13230096
The first OVA was 1996.
Is Assemble Insert any good? It's by the same author and based around a similar concept. The main character is a super strong Android girl.
>>13232877
Well, if you were the emperor and had a thing for Birdy I'm sure you'd much rather knock her up properly than create a shake-n-bake baby from her genetics.
So what explanation do they offer for Tsutomu in this? How exactly would he end up being related to any Alterians, let alone the royal family?
>>13234626
But that's the thing, he can't do it properly. His real body is too old and withered, and the robot body Revi made for him isn't up to the task either. What difference does it make if it's in-vitro or a clone?
Tsutomu isn't related to the royal family, it's hinted that Birdy is distantly related to a branch of the royal family that escaped to Earth to get away from a civil war.

It's okay. Short and predictable, but still enjoyable.

The dude is probably /d/ as fuck and sees getting her pregnant as a valid substitute for doing it himself.
>Tsutomu isn't related to the royal family...
Makes sense, but you didn't make that particularly clear.
>>13235050
Sorry, I meant to type "Birdy was created from genetic samples of members of the Alterian Royal family" in >>13232877
I included Tsutomu by accident.
>>13235149
Alright, you did it two or three times so I assumed it was intentional.
Is the original manga translated? If so where can I get it? I only saw the remake in Madokami.
Recently watched the OVA, I thought it was great but I want to see how the story goes, have to watch Decode soon as well.
>>13233854
Norio Wakamato voices a role, and as you said there's a super strong robot girl. Also a gold Raideen bust. It's fun.
>>13235500
I probably meant to type "Gomez" instead.
>>13235659
Only the first three chapters of the otiginal manga mave been published. They're easy enough to find on any manga reading site.

I hate how the manga was forced to end just as the invasion was beginning, Birdy got a promotion and a new uniform, and we were just about to find out what was inside the artificial moon. Birdy and Tsutomu weren't even back in their own bodies yet.
Then they go ahead and let Yuuki draw two new ongoing series anyway. Why couldn't they have let him finish Birdy properly?

>>13263341
More people need to know about Birdy.
>>13256979
Wait, Evolution didn't have a proper ending?
Well fuck, I always assumed it wrapped everything up. That's 33 fucking volumes between the two series.
I love Yuuki's 80's style.
>>13253782
That little moment of analyzing how dog-chick fought stuck out to me so much, I love it.

80's Birdy was more slender, but not flat.
>>13201396
>hat is off by just a little bit
Damn.
We need to see Terminator Birdy animated.
The mangaka added Sayaka as a character in the manga after Decode, and instead of being merged with the Ryunka, her grandfather implants her memories into Undine (the android girl that Birdy fought) after Sayaka gets into a car accident.
>>13283926
>Undine has Sayaka's memories transplanted into her mind.
>Subconsciously feels guilty about Sayaka's condition and destroys the mind transfer machine
That was pretty deep.

But in decode second season Tsutomu is useless except for a disguise or mental support for the problems he creates. Still good though.
Any decent Birdy cosplay out there? Or would that be illegal?
>>13287075
I think Tsutomu's role was smaller compared to season one, but that was because it was more about Birdy's past. He still grows as a character, and he's far from a plot device. Going back into Birdy's memories and helping her recover herself showed how close they had become and how they complimented each other.
>>13287110
if furfags in diapers with dildos is okay at cons why not that
Which do you prefer: The more emotional Violeen from the manga, or the blank slate robot from Decode?
>>13287110
Depends. A 16 year old girl walking around as Birdy at a anime convention SHOULD be illegal. All those cardiac arrests.
>>13287110
There's one floating around the boorus, there isn't much on her tag on any of them so they might be your best bet.
>>13289824
Fuck, I didn't even know that I wanted to commit this crime until you pointed it out.
>>13288576
I prefered Decode approach because the idea of Birdy being so lonely and isolated that she had to project a maternal personality onto a lifeless android made her a more sympathetic character. In the manga she was just a robot with feelings.
I liked the look if the technology in the OVA because it felt more alien and dark, but I liked the organic look in Decode.
>>13281183
Bring back the original doll designs and have Terminator vs. Terminators.
I actually liked how they point out the disparity between the inferior, earth-manufactured dolls and the more powerful ones built in space.
>tfw no Arita Shion resin kit.
Just saw the original OVA. Pretty good, though I hope the series goes deeper into the lore.
It also had a hilariousdub
>>13302247
And by hilarious you mean...?
>>13302247
I kind of what Funimation to do a redub,
>>13303720
I mean that Tsutomo sounded like a cross between Butters from Southpark and Shaggy from Scooby-Doo
>>13306319
I liked Tsutomu's OVA dub voice. It fit him as a hapless, put-upon character.
Well this took me way longer than I thought it would
>>13316733
Not the crossover art I was expecting.

From Rick and Morty. A comedy show on Adult Swim
Love the organic technology in the show.
OVA Geega was more menacing than Decode Geega.
>>13324063

Eww.
>>13325626
Tuto basically has its tentacles on her cleavage
Don't forget to ask for Birdy on Toonami.
>>13330669
That's why they get gay robots for these missions.
One crossover I wouldn't mind seeing is Birdy/Cutey Honey
>Panther Claw gets their hands on some alien tech
>Seji starts snooping around Tsutomu
>Birdy vs. Honey
>>13333289
i can't tell if her expression is of 'is that a camera?' or if that face/pose is usual for her showerings.
>>13330727
I get that women are weirdly comfortable around gay men, but I'm not sure if they're that comfortable.
>>13333289
>birdyshower
>not birdbath
>>13333751
Consider ing she's not looking forward, probably the second.
>>13336372
But around gay robots...?
I watched the OVA more than half a year ago and I wasn't all that impressed except for the visuals (I should probably rewatch it one day for a better assessment), but I watched the first season of Decode on Saturday and I enjoyed it though I wasn't particularly drawn into it. I just finished the second season of Decode though, and thought it was brilliant, even if the ending was a little anti-climactic. The OST was used incredibly effectively, the OP was great,loli Birdy, the backstory, the emotional weight to the conflict, the, what I would call, sakuga in the fight scenes and the brutality of some of the fight scenes. It was great in my opinion, though I can definitely see why some would prefer S1 or the OVA.
>>13333289
needs more muscles, specifically abdominals
I kind of like that Birdy didn't have a standard uniform in the original Manga. I wish we had figmas for each one.
