Honestly I never saw them cause they didn't come up in high school literature class. Also they didn't have guns in them, as far as I know. Or a scene where two of the characters bang and the teacher goes "OKAY, OKAY, SETTLE DOWN."

Hmm, tough snipe to deal with. Thankfully this is an opportunity for me to pad my posting stats by going "drat, what a snipe".

what kinda clarification is noting that gonzo animated it, gonzo's got a lot of duds but they've also been involved with lots of solid stuff

Gonzo’s hit to miss ratio is way more miss, and it gets way way worse when you take out adaptations. Especially when their adaptations are taken out of the picture there’s almost nothing I’d say gets past the range of “good” even the stuff I have a soft spot for like Solty Rei or Speed Grapher. Maybe Last Exile.

So maybe I should have clarified that it’s a Gonzo original where their track record is definitely awful.

I might watch Symphogear one day because I played that fighting game demo Feyntan made and just going off Hibiki's moves alone it seemed really loving cool

Its a bit slow to start but once it gets rolling its a blast to watch. Then its over and you end up with a heavy metal soundtrack sized hole in your heart that nothing else can fill.

I don't know if I'd call it slow to start, more that just the tone shifts. The first two seasons are still neck and neck for my favorite, much like Chris and Maria for best symphogear.

Catching Food Wars on Netflix and I'm curious about the techniques mentioned on the show as to whether I can apply that to real cooking such as making a grid pattern on a steak and then filling it with diced onions to make the meat softer,etc.

Adding wine at just the right cooking time will not, in fact, cause your pants to fly off while stars and rainbows circle around your head.

Been thinking about rewatching Yona.

Just read Yona instead, until we finally get a new Yona season to cover the Water Tribe arc.

For a second I remembered it'd been a long time since the last chapter and feared the scans had gone on hiatus again, but no, it's just been 29 days and it's a monthly manga anyway.

Gonzo made Blue Submarine no. 6 and I will never not like that because of the music and the janky 2000s CGI

they were referring to gonzo original IP, not adaptations

i'm not gonna sift through a bunch of shows i heard about once more than a decade ago and never again for a quality assessment, but yeah saying anything against their adaptations would be stupid

season 3 is def. the weakest. season 4 has really good antagonists and an actually fairly strong throughline though its doesnt manage its cast that well, season 5 is all over the map but as a finale it works.

ultimately i think s1 and 2 are the strongest seasons because 6 protagonists is too many to juggle such that everyone gets screentime in 13 episode seasons, and their attempts to dos o mostly lead to a lot of filler. but it is what it is, and s4 and s5 are still good.
