If I wanna watch Cutey Honey, how does the 70's anime compare with Universe? I'm aware that the former doesn't have an ending, while the latter is based more off the manga and does

The 70s anime is enjoyable but very repetitive while I just found Universe to be kinda underwhelmingly mediocre to the point where I didn't finish it. Re:Cutie Honey is the way to go to be honest.

Yeah, re:cutie honey is probably the best incarnation of cutie honey. Shin Cutie Honey was alright as well for it's own self contained thing.

70s cutie honey has a few fun eps but is largely boring as poo poo. there are only a couple things out of cutie honey worth really watching, mostly re:

dont read the manga it's one of go nagai's worst. universe is heavily changed from it, as is basically every cutie honey adaptation, because there's not a lot exclusive to the manga worth adapting

Watch the first episode and it'll give you the general idea of what the series is like. I think the first ep is quite fun, having some of that 1970s wackiness.

note that 70s also keeps the beat where halfway through her girlfriend gets burned to death in a school fire so i think it's just, generally not going to be within your interests as far as that kind of show goes

the first ep is the best part of the show by a lot

Well, as expected, Odd Taxi is a bit outside my strike zone, but I'll still probably finish it. The zootopia aesthetic is a hard sell for my tastes, and I'm never a fan of media making me feel vicariously embarrassed for the characters, but the parts that aren't that are fine

That's an interesting viewpoint, because for me Odd Taxi read more like it's a world where Japanese mascots are real and have regular jobs and lives, rather than a Zootopia-like scenario.

i never consciously register anthropomorphic characters as... anthropomorphic characters. i always kinda just register them as very stylized people when i'm watching stuff in autopilot.

I mean it's obviously not making the fact that they're animals core to the setting like Zootopia. I just don't like the aesthetic of anthropomorphic animals much

the op lyrics are about his pathos

a man who gave up his life and took up the name of the Devil to fight for love and justice...

it kinda feels like this will just be another short because i don't know how else you'd stretch out adapting the same material as the original short. even there it suffered from falling into one joke syndrome
