I can only imagine this statement means bunny girl will inspire 30 times as much discourse as franxx

That looks nice, I'm tentatively excited for more Eureka Seven again and also reminded that the first new movie thing is on amazon and I should watch it.

i mean darling in the franxx wasn't exactly a show unified by one specifically bad thing as it was a show that was a jumble of things that ended up leaning towards being a gigantic mess so it's a pretty meaningless statement to make towards something that isn't immediately apparently anything like darling in the franxx

I sort of feel like the most famous bad thing was the inept exploration of gender roles, though, so given Bunny Girl’s premise, I can sort of get an inkling of what they might mean by that.

It’s not really a meaningful comment when it does nothing but kick along a long game of telephone.

And let's just compare the way the two consoles approached puzzle games: The Dreamcast gives us Chu Chu Rocket - colourful, simple, cartoony. Gaming equivalent of candy. The Ps2 gives us Ico. Artistic, hauntingly beautiful, impactful in the way no game before it could have been. Gamings ambrosia.

:shrug: It is obviously pretty vague. But well, if the show starts getting into the mode where people find themselves thinking "hmm, this is going into some sensitive places with some pretty weird takes and throwing a bunch of random ideas in, maybe it's going to build up to a decent ending in the end if I keep on watching???" then well, I'd bear that comment in mind.

Who are "these people" that you described in your previous post? I refuse to believe multiple people made that same disingenuous, vague, lovely comparison.

Let me unpack:

1. I came upon a conversation between people discussing the show before it aired
2. Some members (or some member) of this conversation claimed to have read the source material
3. The comparison to darling in the franxx was used

It's not a show I was going to watch anyway, but seeing people talk positively about the show brought the conversation to mind. So I just typed off a quick reply since it probably wasn't worth me actually researching this thing that is ultimately gossip.

ALSO, I'd do a mea culpa now, since now that I've actually gone and checked with this person, they were actually thinking of a different show, so ... sorry everyone. :P

She's gay but she read too much shoujo romance manga as a child so she's incapable of finding satisfaction in normal human relationships because no one is dramatically stating that they'd be willing to die 800 times forever in agony for their love.

This isn't a joke post, that's literally her backstory.

So I guess she's the anime equivalent of someone who watches too many romcoms and never dates because no one is """the one"""

i can't speak for how that series handles it but "unrealistic expectations of relationships due to societal conditioning" is a thing a lot of people still deal with to varying degrees

I was wondering how sympathetic the show wanted me to be towards the MC. It's a hard line to walk between "You absolutely shouldn't date someone you're not interested in" and "you're being way too unreasonable" and I found Bloom Into You felt more like the former imo

I loved Bloom into You 1 and it reminded me of a 90/00'S shoujo romance vibe which is exactly what I wanted out of the show.
