The Lensman movie was cool, too bad E.E. Smith's estate and the book nerds hate it

Also that Starship Troopers anime has neat power suit designs

No. Stairmaster is a good egg. Well, sorta.

I'd recommend you to check more Haruki Murakami books, even if he's (admittedly) kinda one-note at points.

Murakami is really cool if very horny. I read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle last year and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World this year, and both were really good, though I only really appreciated the latter in retrospect. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle in particular really stuck with me, the plot barely exists but the way it reads and flows is like a really compelling dream. I bought a bunch of other books of his I need to get to at some point.

The FF5 ova is rubbish, other than that it think there's only the character episodes for FF15 and they're okay if you like FF15?

Please post in the Slayers thread as you watch it because it's still fun to see peoples' fresh reactions to it years after its release. I finally watched it for the first time after seeing that thread and went through the original three seasons and all the movies over the span of a couple weeks and it's all so good.

Yeah, I was going to check more of his books out of the library earlier this year, but, well. Events transpired. I'll get around to it at some point, honest.

netflix loves to steal valor

According to yuasa, aniplex approached him with the idea and they and dynamic (go nagai's company) are the producers. It was distributed through netflix iunno if they were involved beyond that.

Devilman Crybaby is a complete Netflix original as it never aired on television and debuted worldwide simultaneously on the service. I also believe they were part of the production committee.

I would definitely say it's one of Yuasa's weaker works. As for whether it's good or not, it's a bit divisive, some people loved it, some thought it was just dumb, so you'll probably just have to experience it for yourself to see if you dig it.

A friend recently put me onto this, and I found the first two chapters to be some of the best manga I've seen this side of Vinland Saga, so I'm just going to drop a rec here for anyone in the mood for some melancholy fantasy.

it was produced by Aniplex and netflix bought it from them

i don't think netflix has directly produced any of their anime yet, its all stuff they bought the rights to

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
I got my PS5 and managed to fire up Funimations app to watch Akudama Drive. On the plus side, no pausing even once during the ep. my connection is so beefy on PS5 it can handle the app being lovely. Well, Funimation figured that something still had to be broken so they made the subtitles look like poo poo. Huge font, and gigantic black boxes around them.

Thanks funimation. I didn’t want to see animation on the screen when people talk a lot either.
