Hopefully never cause it's a shit idea and a shit series. Only retard teenagers who don't know how to find porn like this crap.

Birdy is sakuga porn, dingus.
I miss Birdy's bare thighs
>>13560011
>sakuga
This word I suspect you just made up means nothing to me. And regardless, that doesn't stop Birdy from being an awful idea with no worthwhile results.
>>13560029
It meant enough to warrant a reply, though.
>>13560029
nikawa pls
I want to see Birdy's energy monster powers animated.

> Sakuga (作画) (lit., "drawing pictures") is a term used in anime to describe moments in a show or movie when the quality of the animation improves drastically, typically for the sake of making a dramatic point or enlivening the action.
>>13561872
i.e. 3 minuets of every episode with actual animation.
i.e. the gif/webm that suckers you into watching 13 hours of mouth flaps

Birdy The Mighty. There was a 1996 OVA based on an 80's anime, and another series called Decode which aired in 2008 and was based an a remake manga that ran from 2003-2012.
The OVA is available at:

Remember to ask for Birdy on Toonami.
http://toonami.tumblr.com/ask
>>13562379
Reminds me of Gravity Rush, if you ever played it.
>>13564421
I keep hearing that comparison, and now I want a DLC Birdy costume for the remastered version.
>>13564951
Now that I think about it, they aren't massively dissimilar. It wouldn't surprise me if Japan Studio contained a couple of Birdy fanboys.
I just realized Birdy did the whole "ancient Egyptian Gods were aliens" thing before Stargate did.
>>13560011
>when the quality of the animation improves drastically, typically for the sake of making a dramatic point or enlivening the action.
The OVA sure, but Decode? That show was drawn by inbetweeners who outsourced the work to the Chinese who then outsourced the work to the North Koreans. You can't even use the 'style' excuse. It was genuinely awful.
If anything Decode is a lesson that the director needs to keep a tight leash on his animators and not just high idiots who's work only included web flash.
>>13561178
The OVA gives it serious competition since Kô Ôtani was in his prime

>>13568151
Was that sarcasm?
>>13568340
No, Decode's animation while fluid, was awful looking.
>>13568435

Like Spider-Man, Birdy started wearing a new black costume in the 80's.
>>13575986
I actually like the black costume. Should have been used in the OVA.

1996
>>13581856
'96 Birdy was more expressive and had cooler hair.
Would have enjoyed the manga more if this little faggot didn't take up so much of the story.
Left or right?
Is this series popular or anything like that? Seems like one guy posted some stuff back and then topics sprung up all over the place.
Anyway, what's the deal with the manga? And how many vols were translated and how many were not?
>>13586580
13 volumes translated out of 33.
>>13581856
MIDDLE!
Sayaka's grandfather is so /m/ that in the manga he puts her consciousness into a robot body.

I love this song. love the mix of j-pop and 90's R&B.
OVA Birdy was the best character-wise, and OVA Tsutomu was the right balance of clever and hapless.
Oh, look at that. A new picture.

There's more than a few scenes where characters lose mass for the sake of 'fluid' animation.
>>13575541
>Moyashimon
Wait what?
>>13596436
They mad necessary sacrifices based on the budget, and I think the risk paid off.
>Wait what?
It's from the Masami Yuuki tribute art book. Moyashimon mangaka drew that.
>>13596440
Hardly when it looks ugly as sin. Very rarely do I judge anime on their animation, but if it looks like a trainwreck, I can't in good faith say it's a good series. A great example of trying to do a fluid fight scene and having look like complete shit is Toradora.
>>13596447
You're talking about a couple of scenes out of a whole 25 episode series, the majority of which looked stellar.
Birdy accomplished more with a smaller budget than Toradora did.
>>13596458
I still find it unimpressive if you drop the ball in the animation front and then fail to correct it during the BD release which means the poor animation was intentional. Maybe a bit of QUALITY is okay, but the choice was clearly intentional.
>>13596461
The made a choice to go off-model for fluid animation. Nothing wrong with that. You're exaggerating.

I don't know why I find the OVA so refreshing. A 20 year-old OVA seems fresher than most current anime.
>>13598335
thank you based anon
Hoping I'm not too late to the party here. I want to get into Birdy, but what I want to know is what is the manga series name, and what is the watch order of the movies/OVA's?
>>13614817
https://www.google.com/search?q=birdy+the+mighty+mangaupdates&oq=birdy+the+mighty+mangaupdates
>>13614817
Original manga is called "Birdy the Mighty", though only two chapters are translated.
I'd watch the OVA, then Decode, and from there go into the remake manga.
>>13596479
I'm not sure if you're aware, but you are responding repeatedly to one of our shitter tripfags.
So yeah.
>An Arita Shion figure kit exists

>>13603296
H-h-hey Birdy could you put your hair up in cat ears for a second? I' wanna see something
>>13559975
I still find it great that Decode's S1 villain was fucking Shamalamadingdong.

Decode's Animation only seemed to get really bad in S2, the flashback arc was AWFUL.
>>13627746
>>13627753
>>13626089
I'm wrapping up s1 right now and this affords me no shortage of amusement. Major twists from him expected last episode. I'd agree the show "looks" dull and lifeless though.
Do I watch cipher before or after decode 02?
>>13628653
> I'd agree the show "looks" dull and lifeless though.
How so? It has dynamic, fluid animation. A nice use of a pastel colour scheme.
>Do I watch cipher before or after decode 02?
Before.
How many more years until someone finishes translating the manga reboot? I'm surprised someone actually picked it up after Ronin Ixioran dropped it, but that faggot only translated like two chapters before abandoning it after a few months. We're still stuck at volume 14 out of 20, and then there's all 13 volumes of Evolution to go...
I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll have to learn Japanese to ever finish this manga.Decode was better, anyway.
Kid Birdy is too fuckin cute.
>>13631357
I think Decode handles the Violen subplot better than the manga. It didn't really make sense for her to have emotions.
>>13615720
Well having read >>13628653 I'm a little confused. Is Decode 13 episodes in total between 01 and 02? If not then what is the name of 02? Is it just known as Decode 02? Also as of now I have Birdy the mighty which im fairly sure is the ova, and like I said before the 13 episodes of Decode. As far as videos go do I have everything I need?
>>13632650
Decode in toyal is 26 episodes, 13 for 01, then Cipher, then 12 for 02.
Then there's the 1996 OVA which is 4 episodes.
Too bad there was never a full flashback OVA.
I actually own all the Drama CDs they put out for the OVA.
>>13638979
You moonspeak?
>>13639753
No, I bought them for the art.
>>13640118
Near as I can tell, most of them are prequel stories. One was adapted into episode 5 of Decode season 1.

I think it's because she looks like she's enjoying herself so much.
I'm on Birdy Decode S2 at the moment and she's nowhere near as totally high on cocaine as in the '96 ova. Her facial expressions alone are worth the price of admission.
>>13566868
To be fair, that narrative device has been knocking around since the 60s. Probably earlier.
>>13669837
Besides "Chariots of the Gods", what else was it used in?
>>13669383
This. I liked the moments in Decode where Birdy really let loose, but there were too few of them in season 2 (though the hobo fight was great).

People have been doing 'Ancient Gods were aliens' for decades, mang.
>>13680045
Aside from Chariots of the Gods and a couple of Star Trek episodes, what are the oldest examples?
>>13680180
The 1960s was 50 years ago. That qualifies as 'Decades'.

>Paleocontact or "ancient astronaut" narratives first appeared in the early science fiction of the late 19th to early 20th century. The idea was proposed in earnest by Harold T. Wilkins in 1954; it received some consideration as a serious hypothesis during the 1960s; and has been mostly confined to the field of pseudoscience and pop culture since the 1970s.[citation needed]
I wish Birdy got more merch.
>>13684335
That image always makes me want to do incredibly lewd things to her.
>>13684335

Was that in the OVA or Decode?

>>13559975
I hated how in the Decode remake she suddenly made small sparks every time she used her strength. It implied her super strength was unnatural and the result of space magic. It pisses me off to no end.

>Broadcast in 720p
>BDs never
The Jews did this.
>>13690525
Really? The effects spam is one of the coolest things about Decode.
That said, I always took it to be her suit material bleeding off the energy she's inflicting on it so it doesn't get damaged.
>>13690525
I think that was just her forcefield, since she was able to use her super strength outside of her uniform and without sparks.
What was everyone's favourite fight?
>>13705208
>>13702912
Yes, Birdy still has super strength outside of her uniform. But look at >>13701993, for example. I would be damned if it doesn't look like the forcefields are acting, not her natural strength. This is only a cosmetic element, but it matters when a lot of the appeal for a show is on the super strength of its main character.
You don't give Superman glowing forcefields every time he punches a villain, and then emphasize how the strength of Superman is his own alone.
Even when I actively try to ignore them, those sparks simply don't work for me.
>>13709926
The fight against the genetically augmented human in the OVA, when Birdy throws a locomotive on him. Cool as fuck.
>>13709926
>>13711735
Fuck that's some solid choreography and animation, especially the grapple escape, gimme dem arms, bitch!
>>13711631
>I hate a cool visual effect because it implies that the space police agent might be using future technology in addition to her raw strength
I don't see the issue personally.
