finding out the history of antisemitism in japan began with the army in early 20th century reading the protocols of zion, translated by a virulent antisemite, and in less than a century it spawned a death cult in the form of the aum shinrikyo... just brain rot

Another funny bit is that some Japanese leaders read them and thought "We've gotta get some of these cool Jewish people who run the world into our country"

an actual Roadside Picnic anime would rule though

just drunk Canadians with bad attitudes getting each other killed in the Zone

although come to think of it Darker than Black has what could be called Roadside Picnic influences

darker than black not being available for streaming or purchase anywhere is a travesty

ghost in the shell was my first anime besides kiki's delivery service and totoro (which pwn) and when i later joined the air force and realized it had a lot more to say than 'wow cool cyberpunk' i was slightly thrown for a loop lol.

"The Man Who Cannot Deadlift"

Ya, it sounds cool when you describe it like that, but when you watch it it's not really that exciting. 8 (or 9? idk, I quit after the beach ep) eps in and nothing is happening, they just kinda wander around, end up in the weird place, run away from the SCP of the week, next ep repeat the same. Premise is cool, but they do literally nothing with it, those are some boring-rear end lesbians.

I guess tastes vary because I’m having a great time with it. Most of the threats they deal with are of the “instantly kill you or drive you insane” variety so it’s not like fighting them directly is an option. The show is more like Mushishi or Mononoke where half the point is them trying to figure out what the gently caress is going on, except with more mindfuckery. It’s one of the few shows that does incomprehensible monsters well, and I really dig that

I don't want to poo poo on it too much, because it's not bad or anything. It's ok, there's things to like and enjoy in it. I just think I saw all it's elements done better by other shows, so I'd rather watch those. Mononoke has weird monsters and surrealism, and also incredible style, and the mindfuckery usually matches to some emotional beats or backstory of the characters, so you never feel it's coming from nowhere. Wonder Egg has supernatural lesbians fighting monster-of-the-weeks, but also incredible mindblowing animation and sympathetic and fleshed out characters. Shinsekai Yori or Land of the Lustrous have alien worlds with completely different rules, but also interesting mysteries and characters that are engaged in those worlds instead of just kinda stumbling upon stuff.

I liked it at first, but I guess I just wanted something more and/or different from it.


Anyway, I'm reading Assault Girls and it's weird as gently caress, what the hell is this. Soldiers in an interdimensional war are piloting giant biomechanical schoolgirls and slowly go crazy and start believing they actually are the giant schoolgirls.

It’s great. You have this whole isekai hero plot going on and the whole time you’re watching it you’re thinking “drat I really wanna get back to watching that spider talk to herself already”

The manga cuts out the isekai hero stuff entirely. I don't know why the anime didn't just do that (especially considering they had to skip important spider stuff as a result)

higurashi gou's pacing really is loving atrocious

finally got to the part where stuff is actually happening and rapidly diverging from the remake but now in episode 15 it's going way too fast; we're just burning through four loops in one episode? i gotta sit through 12.5 episodes of repetition and we're just gonna diffuse the tension of how each loop gets hosed up by going through it like a clip show? it's antithetical to everything else and it just feels... mean

the anime is sticking pretty close to the LN, which is like, the actual source, rather than the manga adaptation

the ln series is a fun read imo

it just feels like a poor creative decision especially when you could have probably cut your episode run count in half

Ping Pong
A Place Further than the Universe
Paranoia Agent
Cowboy Bebop
Haikyuu
Monster
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Are probably my top all-time picks. No real order except Ping Pong at #1, MP100 maybe overtaking it if it nails the final season.
I still need to watch Tatami, Lain and Utena.
