I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
S1 just has a lot of setup to it, but I think the payoff is worth it.

I’ll also say, I think Decode is an instance of an anime adaptation being way better than the manga. I fell off on it but I started reading a fan translation and while there were story beats that were similar, the plot was wildly different. It was okay, but I vastly prefer the anime.

who, me?


I wanted Great Pretender to have either more heart or more teeth, and it was stuck in this weird in-between where it didn't satisfy me at either end of that spectrum.

I thought it was funny how the show made a point to say they'd exhausted their supply of English and for everyone's sanity they were switching back to Japanese. That was a good joke, but I was still overall eh on the series.

i am pathologically into heist films/etc so while great pretender was massively mediocre i still somewhat enjoyed the ride

i liked great pretender for the most part. i'd definitely watch more but would prefer a movie to another whole season, i think thatd be a good format for it

there are several different versions of birdy and they're all basically completely different from decode, i think decode is the most unique iteration tonally since it leans harder on the sci-fi end. definitely feels more creatively driven by akane kazuki's interests

It’s the series that named a pair of sick slicing prosthetic legs Blade Runner so I’m not 100% surprised.
