I don't know where that breakdancing meme came from but I'm delighted every time I see it and it's different iterations

Anyway I hope nothing happens to Yuko but something most definitely will

Also denji continues to be hilarious with his intense horndogging even right after a vicious fight. Just gawking at the mostly naked, blood-splattered girl standing in front of him. Absolute dingus

I actually have got to say that I'm kind of impressed with Fujimoto drawing a school girl in her literal bra and underwear in the most non-Male Gaze-y way possible. Even the crotch shot was just folded in to the action and it all feels really restrained. Denji even leers at her and the art doesn't go out of his was to accentuate Asa's body at all. Like, compare that to the way he draws Power sometimes. You just don't really see that in this type of manga, which always seems to go out of it's way for a panty shot or for a character's cleavage to be the focal point of the panel. I apologize, that's probably a weird thing to fixate on but the bar is so, so low for seinen manga.

I'm very invested in what happens to Yuko :ohdear: her character has been setting off death flags from the start, but I really want to see if there is any way she can be redeemed. Probably not, though. Poor Asa.

Okay I'm all caught up. Oddly enough what finally broke my resolve to not ~spoil the anime for myself~ wasn't the promise of more batshit loving fight scenes or more poignant character moments, it was the vague spoiler that Denji was getting wooed by some loving dork who rules. So I went and read ~80 chapters.

Don't tell anyone, but I think that this manga might be good

Honestly that's as a good a reason as any. I binged homestuck after seeing some splash art and thinking to myself, "wait when do characters get wings???"

It’s got Fujimotos weirdness and I can already see some of the early experimental versions of things he did in CSM and his one shots. It’s good but, but I’ve only gotten as far as dog rape man and chopping off that poor kids legs. There’s a lot to go, and the pace is way less refined but it’s compelling in a very raw way.

The moment-to-moment pacing is really rough and I think that's where I'm really struggling with it. I might finish it if only because it's pretty short and I'm really curious about the trans rep

Ended up re-reading part 1 in it's entirety again today. Meant to only read up to where the anime was while I was getting my oil changed but ended up reading all of it. There was a lot that I had forgotten from my first read, like Power coming back as the Blood Devil, and stuff like that. Goddamn this manga is good

There are people out there that think that any scene that isn't some sort of combat scene is useless filler. Please add "filler" to the list of words people throw around that has been divorced from its original context, says me, a Bleach veteran :corsair:

I still can't get over the Future Devil ep ED just being "here's the end of Part 1 for youthe future is great!". Anime-only folks are going to lose their minds in a couple years.

I didn't even think of it that way Holy poo poo :psyboom:

Figured I'd ask but does anyone know why they did a new ED for each episode? I don't think I've seen that done in an anime before. Honestly they were all so perfect I wouldn't be surprised if they genuinely couldn't decide on one.

This rocks so hard

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:

Misato has extremely deep-to-the-core intimacy issues from PTSD due to A) directly living through the apocalypse from a front row seat and B) watching her dad die saving her life after spending her whole childhood convinced he didn’t give a poo poo about her. These compounded to put her in a situation where she deliberately uses sexuality as a shield to protect her emotional vulnerabilities, and especially adopting a hyper-sexual behavior to limit how much people get emotionally invested in her. She’s also a severely debilitated alcoholic who was probably going to die of liver failure before 40 if SEELE hadn’t got to her first. The end result is that by the time of the TV series she flirts with literally everyone regardless of appropriateness and, by EoE, she’s been so emotionally broken down by kaji’s death, ritsuko’s betrayal, and the general collapse of the overall situation that all of her coping mechanisms have fallen apart and “I am going to bribe this child with sexual favors” is all she can think of because that’s all she’s got left.

It looks really good? Like, not perfect, I think the colors could be a little more lush, but the art direction feels really consistant

My only complaint is that I wish they had made Makima look a little more bloody and sinister after she was shot and she was standing behind the guy, but the tension and pacing of all those scenes felt good

I hope the low DVD sales doesn't affect the next seasons. There is SO MUCH from this manga that needs to be animated

Anime was super good, not 1:1 but I don't expect any adaptation to be. I binged that thing in like 2 days.

Kinda like JJK I think the manga has some qualities that are hard to translate to motion entirely, but getting a lot of those sequences done so pretty is worth it as an extra way to enjoy it,

There are quite a few bits in the manga that kind of only work as a manga. I think it's why Junji Ito adaptations can be kind of underwhelming--what makes his stuff really good is how he weilds the medium.
