this has me thinking

it would be kinda cool if these lameass recap episodes were also behind-the-scenes featurettes at the same time

like, "here are the creators talking about how they made the previous season, while also telling you about the critical plot points and elements"

please tell me that at least one of these creator comments about Yoko is "bomb-rear end titties"

it's still funny to me that Kamina didn't actually know that combining was a thing that could happen; he literally just thought that jamming one robot on top of another would accomplish something based on nothing other than "why the gently caress not"

i'm not sure if this is better or worse than other Recap Clip Shows

on the one hand, other shows at least build theirs around some form of narrative, like a character reminiscing about past events; this one is just straight up being a clip show with no rhyme or reason to its clip-showiness

on the other hand, at least it's being honest and not having anything that you would miss by skipping this episode

fun fact: the 4 generals of Lord Genome, the Spiral King, all have names based on the nucleobases that make up DNA: guanine, cytosine, thymine, adenine


oh man, i remember when this started on the very first night

i hadn't seen any promos for anything, so i had zero goddamned idea what this show was gonna be about

and oooohhh man, when the poo poo started to hit the fan

ooohhh man

i don't recall everything being so damned dark the first time around

and by that i mean i don't recall them using low light levels to censor the Evangelion-levels of blood and human gore

DEADMAN WONDERLAND PLOT HOLE #RED
We never find out why the Crimson King massacred an entire classroom full of innocents just to frame this poor bastard and give him Deadman powers

Isn't it because he survives an encounter with the Red Man, and thus may have the blood thing? Or maybe Slimy Bastard knows about Ganta's past? Also maybe I should read the manga again, I don't remember if it ever finished though I do know it went further than the anime.

okay, maybe perhaps i should consolidate

DEADMAN WONDERLAND PLOT HOLE #1 (for realsies this time)
We never find out why Ganta was framed for the murder of his entire class, why he was given Deadman powers by the Crimson King, or why Slimy Bastard orchestrated all this poo poo

Lmao... "How big are them titties?" I'm taking this seriously.

her response was pure gold, but it was really missing a "thank you" from the guy who asked

i also did not forget that the first episode had neither an OP or an ED

Black Boxes

poo poo, i was under the impression that the Crimson King reported to/was under the control of Slimy Bastard, and that he had some major plan or scheme behind all this poo poo

i also don't recall anything about Ganta's past being terribly important in the grand scheme of things, thought it could be that either i've forgotten details in the 3 years since watching, or that that stuff was only in the manga
