SweetBro posted:Any suggestions this season for a darker thriller where the cast isn't in their teens? Something along the lines of Ergo Proxy, Black Lagoon, or Psychopass? I'll add to the choir and say that Dorohedoro might be for you. It's certainly dark and brutal and the entire cast is composed of adults, (with one possible exception) but it's also very weird and often lightens the mood or (intentionally) whiplashes it with absurdist and goofy humour, so if you are looking for something super serious and grim its not quite it.

I'll give Babylon one thing: it's unpredictable. The second half changes protagonists to the president of the USA, and in the most recent episode the leaders of the G7 nations discuss the most basic moral philosophy you can imagine in an effort to figure out whether suicide is good or bad.

On the second episode of Bofuri and it's the most fun MMORPG system I've seen in a show "Oh I <did thing>? I GET A BONUS FOR IT" Also I'm not entirely sure Hanako-San is actually an anime or if it's just some nth dimensional LN, but it's pretty striking and unique with its art design. I really hope it doesn't turn into some weird thing. FilthyImp fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Jan 21, 2020 |

Homura and Sickle posted:did rifle is beautiful get better after the premier episode? i normally love studio 3hz's output but the first episode was very dull Not really, no. I watched it all because I was on the rifle team in cadets and that part felt incidental to the show, which isn't great if you're looking for a sports anime about rifle shooting. It's just a bunch of girls being overwhelmingly saccharine, so if that's what you're looking for and the background activity could be interchangeable with anything else then it might be your jam I guess.

Sounds like Asteroid in Love. I dropped it halfway through episode 2 because it is a snooze fest.

koisuru is a way better show than rifle, for one it has a cast that feels like they exist and have dynamics instead of being literally one repeating joke every episode rifle occasionally has like one mildly funny line but it feels like an okay at best short anime stretched to fill out full-length episodes The Colonel fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Jan 22, 2020 |

Splode posted:Sounds like Asteroid in Love. I dropped it halfway through episode 2 because it is a snooze fest. I was about to say the same thing, but at least Asteroid in Love makes more than a basic attempt at including tidbits of astronomy/geology info. When they set up the telescope to do some planetary observing I was waiting for someone to go "hey, where did it go?!" because of course they don't have a fancy tracking mount, and I wasn't disappointed. Long Riders is my gold standard for that type of series. It wasn't about racing but rather just chilling with your friends and having fun on bikes, but it gets across a lot of good info if you're a complete newb to recreational cycling. It has stuff like what kind of gear is available, what you should wear and why, what to eat so you don't bonk, how to ride in a paceline and so on, which has made me recommend it to folks who want to know more about bikes. As far as I know all of the routes it shows are real and they had them up on their website; the season finale on the Shimanami Kaido was what ended up pushing me to go do a bike tour across Japan, because they made it look so gorgeous. While on the Shimanami Kaido I ran into some other bicycle tourists and because of Long Riders I was able to take them to some places off of the main route, like the bicycle shrine on Innoshima where we were able to get some cool talismans for the journey and hang out with a rad priest.

It really feels like Isekai Quartet was forced to put in Rising of the Shield Hero, because they're thrown into another class, hardly acknowledged, and are barely given any screentime at all.

Heartia is good, but it's definitely a step down from Comicron. I can imagine some very out there parents naming a child Heartia.

For years I couldn't figure out why Blur never had another hit. Their other music was good, it just seemed like they got the Woohoo song out there and just quit. Turns out he was just busy with his other project. Something called 'Gorillaz'.  Dorohedoro is a riot already. Boku no Tonari ni Ankoku Hakaishin ga Imasu ("A Destructive God Sits Next To Me") is dumb as gently caress and I love it.

The first season was great, the second season was decent except for the abysmal MMO raid episodes which should have been two episodes instead of five, and then it ended on a cliffhanger. Maybe the third season will be good again.

The characters aren't interesting at all and there's not much you can do with a gimmick that basically boils down to, "Hello, I'm Naofumi and these are my groomed child slaves Filo and Raphtalia". While I get it due to differing publishers, I'm still pissed Slime didn't get in since the joke and gimmick potential is some much better.

Davincie posted:but they had several hits before and after song 2.... I mean fair, they had "Beetlebum" and "On your own" from the same record, and 20 years later you'll still find people who will go to bat for "Coffee and TV", "Tender" and "No Distance Left to Run" from 13. But "Song 2", along with the s/t as a whole was it. And again, it's likely because Coxon was a feisty 27-yo bright-eyed, coke-and-alcohol fuelled riff machine who had fallen in love hard for Pavement, R.E.M., Mission of Burma, Pixies and tons of american bands. And while obviously Blur was a different beast, the s/t as a whole was the more rowdier of their records. Hell, Coxon straight up covered 2 Mission of Burma songs on his 2nd solo album The Golden D. Also, while I love Gorillaz, in my riff-loving opinion I think the best outcome of Blur going on hiatus was Coxon focusing on his solo output.

Girls & Boys and There's No Other Way both peaked higher than Song #2 in the US... https://www.billboard.com/music/blur/chart-history/alternative-songs I'm not a huge Blur fan but I think you're selling them a little short here. They were pretty important along with Oasis, Pulp, Radiohead, etc. in the early to mid-90s. I think Blur's reputation suffered a bit too much for being pop sellout frauds or whatever. (Though I guess I'm one of the people who would go to bat for the songs you mention above.)

I had the biggest crushes on Damon Albarn and Jarvis Cocker growing up, though admittedly not as much as with Chris Cornell or PJ Harvey. I think part of what made me like a lot of British bands was that, unlike a lot of american bands, most of the British blokes still kept to standard E tuning so you could cover them up (the thing that made me more money as a wee-pubert was busking) easier without fiddling with tuning and junk.

My visceral hatred for the movie bastardization of Starship Troopers is probably why that's the only Blur song I'm aware of.Captain Invictus posted:looks good, but, is it about humans who...get turned into animal-people, I assume through genetic experimenting or something? Since it seems the girl is a normal human girl, and then gets turned into a tanuki girl? Like the splicers from Batman Be-- oh you covered that. I think all but one of them were just partial changes though? Looks Trigger as gently caress though. It's funny I have a story concept scribbled down from like 2010 where "human" cloning is illegal but an AI decides that modifying their genetics to be sufficiently not human skirts the law enough. "FireBull" is an amazing way to ape a brand and sneak some drinking in...
