Ah I see, well for me I make the joke because the way Masamune "strategizes" about getting Aki to fall for him in his inner narration essentially comes across as what I've heard about PUA; the show generally doesn't seem to at all embrace the philosophy but the first 2 eps had some cringey moments.

I actually also have a hard time seeing Aki as unlikeable; on reddit people are using the b-word and I'm just baffled.

yeah she's got both sides going on. the degree to which she insults and shames guys is pretty ridiculous (e.g. Moleo) but at the same time i can see how all the attention focused on her from guys would result in being so fed up with it that she just shoos them away harshly. so for guys like Pudding Prince i don't see her being so bad.

Yeah. It's just a drat riot. I do hope Akko starts to get into the swing of things at least a little sooner rather than later, though.

LWA isn't really doing much for me, I just find myself bored watching it. I'm glad a lot of other people are enjoying it though.

I don't have an argument? Certainly not based on anything from reddit, I have a basis from which I formulated joke about a show I obviously enjoy, what are you on about?

Why is "heard" in scare quotes?

Natsume is in a monthly magazine, so we're probably catching up to it pretty quickly with this recent spurt. That said, the manga's still not over. so there'll probably be at least one more season after this even if it goes into the ending arc right after I make this post.

I'd definitely say MaiDragon's aced the 3-episode test. First ep wasn't super remarkable, but 2 and 3 have leaned hard into the absurdist/heartwarming family comedy angle, to its great benefit.

Season 1 had really bad 3D CG and probably the worst sound direction I've ever heard.

Apparently the BD's fixed some issues but I haven't checked it out.

ugly cg adaptation directed by a comedy director with no experience with cg that cuts up the story to fit a bunch of arcs in a 12 episode time slot

One day there will be an up and coming studio that has incredible passion for Jojo Berserk and they will slowly work themselves into the position where they can buy the rights for the anime. Then they will make a labor of love that will finally get them recognized, securing manga faithful adaptation of all the arcs. That day is nowhere near the foreseeable future.

the new show has been especially dire but berserks art is such that even the most well intentioned of adaptations isn't gonna match up

I appreciate Berserk for what it is but I'd rather somebody do this for Battle Angel Alita honestly
