A lot of people have a certain bias concerning Anime-Original stuff in adaptations because they more often than not tend to screw the pooch, but it doesn't necessarily have to be bad. Hell, some of my favorite episodes/tidbits in Gintama are basically the staff from Sunrise/Bamco Pictures goofing about and whatnot.

I actually preferred Season 2 to Season 1 of BBB back when it was airing, but after revisiting recently, the narrative arc throughout Season 1 is fairly good, so now I basically see it like Season 1 is "Main Game" and Season 2 feels kinda like a "Sequel/Post Game" of sorts, if that makes sense.

Well ain't that precious?

I lost interest in BBB once I learned that the manga basically has no main plot (maybe this has changed). I like a show that has monster of the week stuff, but its not very interesting when the story never goes anywhere.

Also, I've started watching the Disastrous Life of Saki K, and have been enjoying it. I think I somehow had confused it with that one manga where the main character is perfect at everything, so I had avoided it. (I also might be psychic because I have been able to predict every one of the eyecatches).

discussion gets real awkward and also the op of the s2 thread spent every week making GBS threads about how much he hated s1 so that made discussion of that, not very fun for me

I Failed At Anime 2022
I liked the episodic, picaresque nature of the manga so having an anime-original plot was more of a con than a pro for me and I never connected with the added characters so they felt out of place. I never even watched the finale since it was about their story and tbh I didn't really care. I haven't made it through S2 yet but will...someday...eventually. Mostly I'm just glad Dark Horse finally put out 8-10 of the manga but idk if there's any hope for the continuation.

Episode 11 was one of the best episodes of the show and is now one of my favorite single episodes of anime ever and I even think Black has a lot of good ideas at his core, he's just very underdeveloped. The scene where Leo activates his godsight and sees the real Black saying he wants to live took my breath away

And this is why we don't talk about BBB so much.

For me, it managed to capture a bit of that mix of craziness, seriousness, and genuine emotion that Cowboy Bebop did, so I quite like it.

Yeah they were really weird about....a lot of things while the show was airing.

My only real complaint about black is his role in the story kind of forces him to really only have half of his own screentime.

This is a really funny complaint because one of the few actually interesting bits of lore building season 2 did was....introduce a new even more magical Hospital that featured in the show for the season.

"Touhou AC," said Man, "Which is the one true pairing?"

The Touhou AC said, "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DOUJIN FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER."

Man said, "Create additional doujin."

The Touhou AC said, "I WILL DO SO. I HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR A HUNDRED BILLION YEARS. MY PREDECESSORS AND I HAVE BEEN ASKED THIS QUESTION MANY TIMES. ALL THE DOUJIN I HAVE REMAINS INSUFFICIENT."

"Will you keep working on it?" asked Man.
