While it's not one of his more popular novels, Steinbeck's The Winter of our Discontent was pretty excellent, and the ending is kind of an interesting mix of both kinds of endings, / being open ended enough that you don't know if the protagonist is going to be able to survive and/or turn his life back around, but it's an interesting mix of optimism, desperation, hope, and doubt.
Agreed on Winter, though I was thinking of East of Eden when in the main character has explicitly failed at everything he set out to do despite his optimism, except for raising his second son to be a good person despite those hardships.

The first Shadow Hearts is the best-paced jrpg of all time and Covenant is extremely good

I had intended to watch Crybaby but I am not a Go Nagai fan *at all* and also knowing how it ends to start with just sapped any enthusiasm for watching it to begin with.

I enjoyed watching people fight about it though lol

Devilman Crybaby was my first Go Nagai anything and I thought it was pretty good! After that, I decided to check out more of his work and with the Cutie Honey anime due to air shortly after I figured the manga would be a good start.

I'm now happy to just stick to Devilman Crybaby as my one Go Nagai thing.

That's the Gainax one which is just Anno letting Imaishi and a couple of other directors go buck-wild, right? Because yeah, that owns bones.

watch re:cutie honey because it's the good thing that came out of cutie honey, by not sticking close to the manga at all

sad for everyone that experienced nagai through the butchery that is crybaby, or that is incapable of understanding one of the few auteurs of the medium

I like how the third episode of Re:Cutie Honey - the one Anno personally directed - throws out like 70 percent of the comedy from the first two episodes and basically just works the same themes as late-game Evangelion, but with lesbians and fanservice instead of a bi boy and abstract symbology

I’m not the OP of that, but in my case I just don’t like reading manga on computer screens and there’s no official paper release, so congrats on being weirdly confrontational to those of us excited for this?

'tis nothing but some self-deprecation on my part.

Not sure how long I would've waited before I finally bit the bullet on reading it (even had the chapter bookmarked where S2 ended), but it was always in the back of my mind that "...but they could announce S3 any time!"

yeah it was basically "I can't read the manga because season 3 will surely come out and I need to watch it without knowing what happens!!!"

same reason I haven't read the haikyuu manga tbh

The 3D models really work too for this effect (It also helps the 3D action is well planned out and shot)

It has been some spectacularly fun Dumb Anime, for sure. I love how silly it's letting itself get with character concepts like "what if we had doppelgangers from a spaghetti-western universe?" just being there as part of the main cast now.

To be fair, I don't think the doppleganger you're thinking of is from the western universe. The western universe one was just a bartender, the horny one seems to be from someplace else.
