That’s fair. I was debating dropping it after ep1 but ep2 has me solidly in the follow through camp

dogsicle posted:i'm very surprised that the show with an emotionless serial killing teen was more edgy than polygamy Edginess isnt about how grisly the murder is. Also, s not even that he was emotionless, but he actively sought out people who he could basically torture as he killed them. And then there was the end of the bathroom scene that it seemed like he didn't even plan, but the show made happen as if to make him happy. Its exceptionally hosed up.

edginess isn't about how grisly a murder is it's about how happy consenting people in a poly relationship are

dogsicle posted:looks like Garo still has another week before it wraps up introducing the full cast, but eps 2 and 3 were much stronger than the first and seem to have almost entirely done away with the shakycam and significantly lessened the cg. definitely worth a shot if you're into hyperviolent OVAs from the 80's. This most recent episode was the most standard heist episode ever made. Do any of the previous Garo series do interesting things or is it all as generic as this?

I tried reading the first few chapters and dropped it some time back. There's something about the way he presents the characters and setting that felt... exploitative? Im not sure how else to describe it. Ot didn't sit well with me. Also being edgy has nothing to do with consent. Its about societal perception and acceptability. When was the last time you heard of an openly polygamous relationship consisting of dozens of women? Im not saying that Naze and co are bad characters and they have no place in the show - far from it, they're integral- but that their relationship would be considered hosed up in our modern society.

Whales e2 was pretty good, with a  shocking twist at the end.dogsicle posted:it's been okay so far, i think 3 and 4 will be the real test as to its quality, since they're potentially kicking the story into a more generic path. I kinda agree with this. It'll at least be pretty, though, so I'll keep watching.

I'd previously seen a couple episodes of Fumoffu several years ago, so I decided to watch the first episode of the actual main series. II'd forgotten the focus on Kana being a nerd; I guess her tsundere-ness had overshadowed it in my memory, or maybe it just didn't come up in the episodes I watched. Kurz's pervert shtick is really annoying; hopefully he'll get sidelined soon. Sosuke is funny, though. The idea that an actual elite military guy would read Soldier of Fortune made me raise an eyebrow; I was under the impression that magazines like that were aimed at...well, at the type of fantasist the other students assumed Sosuke was. Sometimes I think the lack of actual wars in Japan gives people weird ideas about modern wars...but on the other hand, there's a lot of people with weird ideas about modern wars in the US too (that's why publications like Soldier of Fortune exist). Yes, I realize it's a throwaway line I shouldn't be over-analyzing.

Sosuke is exactly the sort of person who would read a dumb gun magazine for nerds while also actually being in the military though.

From what I’d seen about Inuyashiki, I’d been getting a rather offputting ‘old man yells at cloud about The Youth Of Today’ vibe off it. Is that actually tolerable?

My big draw to Inuyashiki right now is the cyborg body horror cause I'm a weirdo. like the OP just having shots of their bodies opening, clicking and closing, the old man screaming in fear as his cyborg head unfolds to show his "core", him expelling his stomach contents through his arm cannon etc. I don't know much of there that is or if that's something that makes it worth watching but it's cool imo

I watched the first episode of Ancient Magus' Bride. I'm interested, but I don't know whether to watch the OVAs - getting more context is good, but I'm not sure I want to see the main character just getting more and more miserable for three episodes if that's what it is. Help me ADTRW

Help me ADTRW the ovas are about one of the few times chise felt warmth and love from a person as a child, they provide more context but they're also more than chise just being miserable for three episodes, they're about why she would even be willing to trust someone who offers her warmth and love

Help me ADTRW the OVAs do have a fair balance of sadness and life-affirming stuff, so it should be fine. otherwise they fit into the timeline somewhere in the middle of the series, so about nine weeks out.
