Really enjoyed Fionna and Cake, I didn't know where they'd take it but it was pretty nice all in all. I'm not sure how satisfied I am with the ending although I get what they were saying with it. Now it's its own thing instead of a gender swap copy of Adventure Time. Cool I guess. But it's like the modern day and that's absolutely and utterly poo poo, why wouldn't you want it as a cool fantasy world where everyone's mostly happy and nothing bad happens? Just storytelling wise I went away a bit sad about how it ended because of that

Open Source Idiom posted:Is it just me or are there far more fights in this season than in (individual) previous seasons? It did feel that way. The characters felt a bit over powered this season. I remember the previous seasons were mostly 1v1 and seemed like the portagonists struggled a bit to win. Here they'll take on 3 or 4 vampires at a time and just cut them down without too much effort. Then again its hard to not feel anime when it seems they are trying to attack and dethrone God.

Open Source Idiom posted:Is it just me or are there far more fights in this season than in (individual) previous seasons? It definitely feels that way. More fights and more opponents in each fight too. Any 1v1 fight is basically exposition time, the big fights are all animation showcases. Which is fine by me, not complaining at all. Most of the criticisms raised ITT are fair I think, there's definitely a shift in the writing sensibilities and it doesn't feel as layered or complex as the first series yet. I have faith they'll get there but I can see how this wouldn't be everyone's vibe in the current form. limp_cheese posted:Then again its hard to not feel anime when it seems they are trying to attack and dethrone God.

It is an anime with a very cutesy style but full of horrible violence, both physical and emotional in regards to characters that look like children. A funny thing is that while discussion of it is banned in ADTRW the series aired on American cable TV.

The reason why it got banned from Something Awful is that the author is, like, maximum otaku brained and is open about how much he wants to gently caress the characters who look like five year olds. It's like the Piss Forest comic strip but the Piss Forest is weirdly sexualized child torture, also there are people who are really adamant about how good worldbuilding the Piss Forest is.

I only meant so far as the cutesy exterior hiding a lot of messed up things, it was a shallow comparison. Didn't know the author was that kinda person, though.

I really enjoyed the new series of Castlevania. It has flaws that others have already mentioned, but they don't detract from it that much. I think it is worth remembering how the first series took a while to find its footing, and the moment when Sypha, Trevor, and Alucard meet and decide to be allies in that season one is just as contrived as the worst moments in Noctourne. There was a lot to enjoy, my favourite stuff being: -Slavers being vampiric pieces of poo poo and getting killed -Aristocrats being vampiric pieces of poo poo and getting killed -The queer relationships -The opera singing -The summoner spells -The pink-haired demon miniboss -The Aztec -The big bad and how things go down when the party finally encounters her As with the previous series, the voice acting is top notch, and the art and animation is beautiful amidst all the violence. The magic is fantastic and when a God steps onto the scene it is appropriately terrifying for everyone around. I wish we could get a Malazan series with this level of quality!

I will never not find it absolutely exhausting how hard pedophiles try and "jokingly" insert this poo poo into works that ostensibly aren't supposed to be porn. Kiss Players did the same exact poo poo. Once you see the wide far apart eyes and skin gloss loving run, it's like their calling card or something.

None of that icky maturing business for her I guess.

I always felt like MiA would be much more acceptable if the characters were not kids, or like, at the very least if they weren't adorable. Unfortunately, they're both, oopsie daisy.

I don't think there's anything overtly sexual in the show or manga itself. What gets to me is just the horrible, horrible suffering of cute little children. I think one of the earlier things I remember is the girl asking for you to mercy-kill her friend for mutating into an abomination. I guess there is a thing where after you've gone a certain distance, you do wanna just know what's at the bottom of the hole. All the extreme bleakness I guess creates a unique feeling, which I don't think is a good one. I feel like I wanna counteract the energy of Made in the Abyss by making some other recommendations.  Even If the World Is Over It's Fun to Live This series has a vaguely similar superficial vibes, but instead of venturing down a hole of despair, it's about a girl and her friends adventuring through the postapocalyptic wasteland full of weird creatures. The main character carries an x-acto knife as a spear.   Hakumei & Mikochi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MjRWYwxS0E Not really similar vibes at all, just cute little people out in the country having a chill time. It's a kinda soporific. It's one of those series that I feel is "mature" not because there's any violence or sex (there is none), but because there's things I think only adults would be interested in, like there's an episode about helping a friend pick out new furniture for her apartment.

I would suggest to people that wants to watch MIA to watch girls last tour instead, which has similar vibes but far less child abuse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrtG75JJkOQ
