I'm planning on stopping the last episode of Gurren Lagann after the wedding scene

Is Girls und Panzer good?
I watched the series on HIDIVE and enjoyed it, but once I got the Anzio OVA and watched it I was hooked. At one point the two tank destroyers get into a brawl and it's so intense you cannot believe you're watching a show about girls driving CGI tanks go this hard. Also the scenes with them fighting off the tankettes are nuts.

I think it's better to acknowledge it's existence, in order to analyze/learn from it why those elements are bad/mediocre, then to outright ignore/pretend they didn't happen. Though, there's nothing wrong with exploring alternative endings through fan media: I think some of the most popular genres of fanfiction are just people attempting to give a series what they believe to be a better ending/continuation, or to explore underutilized elements and relationships of the canon source materials.

the problem is that a lot of people like to bash fan media like fanart/fanfiction because they think everything about fans are terrible

there's lots of value in examining parts of things you do like that are kinda rough or that you don't like as much. but also if you just really really hate it there's no real reason to agonize over it a lot, it's fiction, it's not real unchangeable events. lord knows no amount of thinking about the episode of season 2 of rinne no lagrange where kyouno gets sexually harassed over never having been able to gently caress a guy is going to make it more than a really bad left field gag that contributes nothing to the overall themes or dynamics of the story

i think it's worth giving thoughts to things that are kinda rough on the surface but actually have some cool ideas if you dig a bit deeper, but if it's just blatantly stupid and flies in the face of everything else about the show for a lame gag or w/e you're not going to dig out many thoughts besides "well that randomly sucked"

also if you're spending time in a community that bashes on fanworks that might be a lovely bunch of folks to be hanging out with and you should consider finding better people to talk to. there is a ton of negativity out there but you can definitely avoid interacting with it.

I find it way more rewarding to engage earnestly with something, warts and all, than to handwave those warts away to form some sort of platonic ideal that doesn't actually exist.

also re people pretending shows dont exist, my stance is. i can understand why people say that about shingetsutan tsukihime cause i'm not sure it's possible to make a duller adaptation of a vn than that

actually i just remembered one show i actually do kind of just pretend the last few episodes of never happened is oniisama e. the last five episodes have a couple interesting notes about moving on from loss but it's also 90% just "how sad... if only she could have lived, to see us all realize we were never actually gay". i dont like melt if i think about it though i just think it sucks, but that's just 70s yuri

tbf you can engage with something fully, decide you dont like it, then mostly ignore it going forward

for instance the ending of the kannazuki no miko manga is stupid

I watched the first season of Blue Exorcist but only up to the point it deviates from the manga then I dropped it. Considering the second season also pretends the rest of that season doesn't exist I think ignoring them is the right move there lol

Sometimes a show has a weird bad aside that's easy to shrug off and sometimes a show will do something that feels like it reveals actually lovely values or recontextualizes the parts you like about it in a way that's hard to reconcile imo

Speaking of shows that have been going on forever, has there been any indication that the Detective Conan manga is reaching something resembling a conclusion?

Then again, the One Piece anime is close to 1000 at present.

Approaching 700? It's already over 1000.

I'm aware Conan has a continuing plot but it's overwhelmingly episodic. It can continue as long as there are weird ways to be killed at increasingly obscure Japanese locations or events

heck even if you did resolve the ongoing plot you could easily just have conan continue solving random murders forever just not as a kid anymore

Two questions: 1.) has a defined amount of time passed in-universe since Conan started? 2.) Has he made one single solitary iota of progress in that time?
