I think the other day on these forums someone made mention of an anime or manga that was about truck drivers whose job it was to hit people with their trucks so they could be reincarnated into fantasy worlds that needed them.

This I'm interested in

I appreciate Nomad doing something different than just hey lets redo season 1 of Megalo Box and just have it be another boxing tournament.

But it's just so rough to watch, it's misery porn. You watch Joe dig himself a deep dark hole, crawl into it, and then try to crawl back out.

I'm late to this but I just wanted to say my favorite part of Invincible's animation was spending several episodes wondering why Atom Eve's logo is some kind of radfem thing?



but then it turns out in maybe two scenes all season she has an important closeup where it's drawn on model:

Transmetropolitan might be one of my favorite comic series ever, but pretty much all of Castlevania is just dripping with Warren's particular brand of snark. It's like there's one sense of humor in the entire universe and everyone shares it.

Still liked it well enough.

the standout characters really are anyone but the game's three main ones, it's like after season 2 they didnt had a clue what to do with them so it just stalled

In June 2020, several women (including musician Meredith Yayanos, artist Zoetica Ebb, and photographer Jhayne Holmes) accused Ellis of sexual coercion and manipulation.[125][126][127][128][129] The Daily Beast reported that "by 19 June, over 60 women had joined a group organized by Holmes, all of them accusing Ellis of a largely consistent pattern of behavior".[129] The Guardian later reported that "roughly 100 women have come forward, while 33 of them have composed written statements, supported by emails and text messages, which have been seen by the Guardian".[130] These testimonials were posted together on a new website, SoManyofUs.com, in July 2020 and contain accounts of "manipulation, gaslighting, coercion, and other forms of emotional abuse".[130][131]

Getting rid of Ellis won’t get rid of the swearing at this point. It’s become too much a part of the show’s brand. “The vampires say gently caress” is what people want from it now.
