I went over why the first episode was so bad earlier in the thread. The second didn't do anything to redeem it. I was going to do a 3 episode test, but I think I'm done.

I like it because the rich and powerful get killed in a very graphic manner. Very satisfying. But the mood whiplash is bad indeed.

That explains all your ukraineposts.

Edit: I liked the Raditz reference.

For some reason, the mood changes in AgK don't really bother me, but I recall the swings in Oh! Edo Rocket being awful and absolutely hating the show because of it. It's been long enough that I don't remember the particulars that set me off, though.

Goddamn, Wakanim has been even more awful than usual this season (and that's saying something, given their typical laundry list of problems). They're managing three shows, and have severely messed up their releases of two. Space Dandy's dub track hasn't emerged despite the fact that we're two episodes into the second season (and they had full simuldub functionality for the first season). Meanwhile, Terror in Resonance is supposed to get released on a Friday, and episode two still isn't out yet (there's an announcement banner for it which is supposed to be linked to the episode, but it just 404s instead).

Their efforts to set themselves up as the EU Crunchyroll have been hugely unimpressive so far.

You should definitely google it at the office. Preferably during a presentation on the bigscreen with the sound cranked.

According to MAL it's a hentai with explicit rape scenes

Yes. It's some of Yasuomi Umetsu's best work. Just get the version without all the gratuitous rape.

In order to get funding Umetsu went to a hentai production house so both A Kite and Mezzo Forte had some rather graphic sex scenes tacked on. You can watch both OVAs with them cut out to no ill affect.

boy this anime feature film that has gratuitous rape scenes of an underage girl is one of the best movies i have eve seen! yea the normal runtime of the film is about 60 minutes but if you watch the version with all the rape scense cut out it is only about 30 minutes long.

I can't wait until Half in the Bag reviews it. I'll be really interested to see how Samuel L. Jackson performs in it.

45 minutes and from what I understand only seven of the 15 minutes cut are pornographic.

Edit: For anyone that doesn't know who Yasuomi Umetsu is here's a video compilation of his work.

I'm kind of bemused that they're using the source material being an anime as a selling point. I feel like you'd find more people among mainstream moviegoers who are openly hostile about it than those who like it.

I am also watching Rail Wars. It is a bad show. Watch it only if you enjoy watching bad shows that are bad. And not even the good kind of bad, just flat out bad.

As someone who doesn't watch a whole lot of anime, what makes Rail Wars so bad? I've heard people saying it got terrible after the second episode and I'm curious what happened.

Nothing in particular, it's just not a good show. There's no reason to watch it because it shows no signs of going anywhere. It has no idea what it wants to be besides butt shots and an uninteresting main character who gets tits shoved in his face a lot. There's like one character who has any potential to be interesting, and I highly doubt that will actually be delivered on.

Basically it's not yet offensively bad, but has the potential to be. It's mainly just not a good show when you could be watching several other actually fun shows like Sabagebu or Nozaki or Barakamon if you aren't in the US.

I thought Railwars could be something like Girls und Panzer, but its really bad. So boring and dumb.
