I am the weird off-model dude in the audience, cheering but not actually moving, that they keep panning back to and sweeping over whenever something exciting happens in the fight

I'm the guy that looks mysterious and intimidating, perhaps with a mask or deep hood, and I get paired up against the talented young'un, and he's super worried, but when the time comes for us to fight, it turns out I'm just a super goony guy who entered 'cause I thought the chicks would dig it, and I go down in one punch soon after my face is revealed.

you wanna do death in anime, do it like in tokyo magnitude. saddest show, sadder than grave of the fireflies. really good show, deffo a recommendation from this poster

There was a few scenes in that show in one episode where it was kinda like, yeah, this horrible earthquake would be terrible, but we have some really cool robots we could break out and so there would be a silver lining.

I considered that and decied it wouldn't

Although apparently a very mild romance develops between the main guy and the girl who hated him and thought he was a disgusting gross nerd in the beginning, and that could be cool

This chick becomes his love interest in the third season, according to people who read the manga

At first she just knows him as a weirdo anime nerd who wants to start an anime club. But she keeps getting dragged to bicycle races and she gets to see him in a different context, and by the end of the second season, she understands that he's actually a pretty impressive guy. It felt pretty natural to me.

The show is pretty decent to good but the thread is absolutely terrible. There is also no sex unfortunately.

i love jojo but it's ridiculously over the top and not a single death is taken seriously. also i watched dragon ball z on cartoon network as a kid so i wouldnt know anything about that but im sure it's not as brutal as this was

They cut a lot of the more brutal stuff in the dub like raditz vomiting blood
