The japanese are barbarians who cut thier bread in humongous chunks. Also they stand accused of slicing sandwiches into four parts.

But Tutu isn't a prince? I thought we were after magical boys?

Tutu is really good though.

Tutu also definitely has magical boys, just not as main character. It's pretty balanced in that.

Shugo Chara started kinda lame but ended up pretty good a couple episodes in IIRC. I then dropped it for unknown reasons. I saw it's on CR, I should watch it sometime.

Also it has Mizuki Nana.

CCS is also great.

So how's the Utena dub? I just realized I don't have any dubbed shows in my backlog and have pretty much exclusively switched to subs for everything.

Yeah, I ended up liking Shugo Chara a lot surprisingly, for something I started watching on a whim alongside Skip Beat since CR had just become official. It falls into filler hell though in its later seasons since it caught up to the manga.

If you must blink, do it now.
Mecha shows are just magical girl shows aimed at boys.

I've heard the 3rd is appropriately horrifying but I never saw it, mostly because I heard everything else was terrible.

this kind of stuff is in almost everything nowadays and it drives me crazy. all the background people in parasyte looked like this, all the cyclists in yowapeda when they're doing big group shots look like that, it's super jarring.
