Phantom Blood is nine episodes long and it escalates insanely fast. Like, ep1 is Victorian character drama, ep2 is Dio plotting a murder and Jonathan fighting street thugs, ep3 is Dio turning into a vampire and fighting Jonathan to the death in a burning building. I wouldn't call that "slow". It's not like Stardust Crusaders, where like 80% of the show's runtime is random encounter fights that inexplicably get two episodes (looking at you, Death 13)

I think that's really awesome sci-fi font. It looks exactly like stereotypical alien glyphs but is still technically readable. Very interesting.

i had no idea people didn't like the part 4 adaption, it's probably my favorite of the ones theyve done so far.

the moment during Atom Heart Father where the stardust crusader music hits instead of the DIU theme is a good example of how to adapt stuff to fit the medium, it kicks rear end

Meh, I mean sure but I also feel like in the otaku bubble it's easy to underestimate how tricky to sell it can actually be to some people, between the art style, the content generally being A Lot, how just about every part after 2 has one or two segments I have to take care to either warn my friends of ahead of time or make he decision to just skip. Feels like for every friend I show it to who becomes a fan, there are two more who decide it's just too much.

i feel like most 'warn people ahead of times about This Bad Content' things wind up, having the warning be weirder and more offputting than the content

I think it's not that engaging or fun. It felt very dry and by the numbers but that's to be expected if you watch anything that other than Jojo's first because a lot is based on it. Part 2 however owns bones.

so there's a child who gets blown to bits in part 4? and if that's not your thing we can just watch something else or skip it when it happens. have you ever watched a child die? it might not be your thing. if it were, that would be weird. haha

*we start the show* so were you yes/no on watching the child fireworks?

lmao

but yeah im just thinking of the big twitter thread i saw with like 'ugh how dare people recommend utena without people mentioning that it has TW: RAPE, INCEST, ANIMAL ABUSE, RACISM, SEXISM, SEXUAL ASSAULT, CHILD ABUSE, BODY SHAMING, DEATH, VIOLENCE, GORE' that had tons of replies of tweens going 'wow i was going to watch this i didnt know it was so hosed up!'

and like yeah it has those things but it is 99% goofy elephant comedy and the way it explores those things is pretty tasteful. im not saying people shouldnt be warned it comes up but idk theres got to be a more tactful way of doing that than just slamjamming it as teh first impression anyone has of a show. like utena is a show for thirteen year olds its not in the back of the vhs store and you have to ask the clerk to go get the keys while he talks about how he really enjoyed la blue girl
