About to watch Dragon's Heaven on a recommendation.
Anything I should know going into this? I keep hearing comparisons to moebius, but is there any deeper meaning to that? This also looks a lot like Nausicaa, so was moebius just really influential at the time?
>so was moebius just really influential at the time?
Yeah.

Hey, girl. Nice pauldrons.
>>13481045
>so I put these moebius lines on everything
>which was the style at the time
Was this the only thing Makoto Kobayashi ever directed? The fact they built a mech in real life just for this 24 minute short blows my mind, & I feel like I'm missing something behind the scenes.
I wish someone would subtitle the making of documentary towards the end of the OVA. I really want to see if they had anything to say about it's construction.
>>13481090
>look up what other shows he did mech designs for
>Works include: Hot Space Cowboys
>"Wow, that sounds pretty gay"
Google image searching this, I feel validated.
>>13481090
He also did stuff like the abysmal 6 Angels.
>>13481120
And ICE.
Did you even google OP?
Kobayashi talks a little bit about Dragon's Heaven in this interview, but it is mostly about his work on Yamato

Has anyone ever scanned the Dragon's Heaven manga?

>Anything I should know going into this? I keep hearing comparisons to moebius, but is there any deeper meaning to that? This also looks a lot like Nausicaa, so was moebius just really influential at the time?
Very much so. Moebius was the inspiration for a lot of Japanese designers and artists of the 80's. Kobayashi, Nagano, Miyazaki, Shirow, the works.
>>13481054
Power Suit ver. Kondo when?
>>13481090
I think he's done a lot of short manga stories in the Dragon's Heaven world so I assume this was like a pet project of his.
>>13481090
>>13481101
>>13481120
>>13481132
He's done Last Exile designs and something else well-known if I'm not mistaken. Best and unique Japanese artists are not in demand in anime industry.
>DVD is $200.

I'm extremely violent when it comes to the lack of blurays for Techno Police 21C.
>>13482246
DVD ?
Isn't it LD/vhs only?
>>13482454
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEODAI-6199
Someone who can't buy from Japan requested it. It's cheaper on Japanese Amazon, not sure about the shipping price.
>>13482535
FUCK we need to find a guy who bought it, we need the rips
>>13482535
Is that the MSRP or secondary market markup?
>>13482623
Well, cooperative purchase is up on ADC.
>>13482658
Show me the way
>>13482652
I've checked, it's much cheaper in Japan. $55 for a book, $120 for a DVD. The book must be great with all that art.
>>13482623
I'd like to have the actual ISO then. ADC people can help with making subs, the site has guides for everything.
>>13482690
1. Follow the instructions on their site to get an invite.
2. Wait for a week or whatever they ask you (no less!).
3. Don't get an e-mail because kpd has more important stuff.
4. Go to ADC IRC to remind him.
5. Get the e-mail with your invite.
6. Look for the thread or people interested in bying this DVD.
If you like Dragon's heaven guys, this is the time to act
Interested in this since I've liked his art of the Gundam franchise, but everyone keeps mentioning Moebius. Could someone please clue me in on what Moebius is? There are several instances of fiction with that name, so I didn't want to pick the wrong thing and be mislead. Thanks!
>>13482690
to you
(Heavy Metal)
>>13482837
I would donate, but money is really tight right now, plus, they haven't gotten back to me on the ADC application I sent.
>>13483319
Moebius is a French artist.
real name of Jean Giraud.
He's done a lot of amazing work, including sci-fi fantasy and a variety of other things.
He's a really talented guy and you should check out his work.
>>13483350
>is
He's dead, Jim.
How do I contact someone through ADC if they haven't gotten back to me in a week? I tried the IRC on their site but it says not to ask about applications there.
>>13481218
Yes, someone posted all the pages in a thread last year on /m/, I saved it but my HD died and I lost them.
Wish he would post them again.
>>13483325
Lead me now where you are

That OP is so fuckin good thanks for that m8, i got a great laugh out of it

I also recommend Relic Armor Legaciam. That was a fun little one-shot, I wish they made more of it.

Anyone here have the OST? Someone uploaded it to youtube, so it must exists somewhere.

Give me a moment to upload it.

I wonder if these CG renders are for a new Dragon's Heaven animation project?
>>13488203
Ew. I wouldn't want CGI Dragon's Heaven. The hand drawn art is part of the charm.
>>13488476
That's a damn good point. It could still be good, but without it being hand drawn 2D it would lose much of it's charm.
>>13488493
>That's a damn good point.
I don't think it is. I think its typical nostalgia whining. The reason why there was only one episode of Dragon's Heaven made was because hand drawn art takes forever.
I dont hate the original DH animation, it is great, but it was not drawn as good as Kobayashi's illustrations. This "charm" is nostalgic bullshit that people say, but something modern with Kobayashi involved in the computer process would be cool to see, too. I'm not trapped in the past.
>>13488534
I don't think Moebius's art style transfers well to 3D, but feel free to post some similar examples in 3D. I've never seen something like this or Nausicaa done in 3D before.
>>13488534
Go fuck yourself. When a visual medium is visually pleasing, it's visually pleasing.
Not some "nostalgiafagging."
>>13482243
What kinda designs? Pretty sure Last Exile is mostly on Range Murata and his love for supple schoolgirl age thighs.
>>13488850
you say that like thunder thighed little brown girls are a bad thing...
>>13483361
Are you sure? If you filled an application and waited for more than a week, you can legitimately go there. At least it was like that half a year ago.I asked the staff, waiting for the response.
>>13483366
If wonder if you were the only one. There must be more here on /m/.
>>13483733
Only 1 of 2 is subbed. Hardsubbed.
>>13488097
Thanks a lot.
>>13488534
>nostalgia
I hate this meme.
>>13488850
Mechanical. Also Giant Robo and Venus Wars.

you wouldnt have a good torrent for this would you? Been searching and not finding anything. It looks quite nice.
>>13488850

Range Murata did the character designs. The mechanical designs were all Kobayashi -- you can see tons of his works on it in his "Hyper Weapon" books.
Kobayashi also did "ICE" and the mecha designs from Trinity Blood.
was this Kobayashi's passion project? I still can't get over them building a mech for this. Does anyone know if anything interesting gets said in the post OVA making of scenes?
>>13482243
He did the Giant Robo OVA, Gankutsuo, Last Story, and other stuff. He actually ends up doing a lot more clean Art Deco stuff for gigs than the greebly, organic work you see in his models.
>>13490797
>Giant Robo
Wasn't he the one who came up with at least one of the Ginrei OVA designs?
>>13490271
Best I've been able to find. God, I'd love a BD remaster.

Sorry guys. I really want to fund this dragon's heaven dvd, but the universe is against it.
Interview/documentary about moebius I thought you guys might be interested in.

If I still remember by next month I'll buy a copy for you guys cause I love you~
>>13492201
Tey closed the registration. The form is still on because their sysop is offline. And I don't have any invites for now but they're pretty easy to get on another private trackers like AB.
>>13495495
Pls do
>>13495495
You're very kind, anon.
Got into ADC. Anything I can do to help?
Is there any chance the DVD's are on U2 dmhy? I don't have an account there so I can't see.
>>13500224
Tried both english and japanese names. They don't seem to have it.
>>13500901
By the way, do they also have R2 DVD's of a series called Key the Metal Idol? I've been trying to get an account just for that. I wanted to make it my first encoding project.
>>13502179
They sure do.
>>13502179
They're on ADC.
>>13488203
They're should make a Dragon's heaven game. But they won't.
>>13491382
>>13491583I cant get this to play in any of my media players, sound works only. what the fuck am I doing wrong
>>13511070
Just use MPC
>>13511070
>>13511073
VLC worked fine for me, btw i made some cleaned up subtitles, there were a lot of grammatical issues and a spot where the subtitles use "Battle Robots" instead of "Gampfs"
>>13511126

yeah, Ill try that next
>>13481030
Key animation: Shinya OHIRA
Just how involved was he in this? Isn't Ohira some kind of legend when it comes to Sakuga?
