I didn't get to delete my first post in the old thread yet.  Waffleman_ posted:Was Deadman Wonderland good? Thinking about whether to stay up for it or just go to bed after Gurren Lagann. Deadman Wonderland owns and you should def stay up to watch that poo poo. I don't know what Oh Snapple!'s problem with it is, but I remember him complaining a lot about DW and praising the poo poo out of Casshern Sins (which was alright but BORING AS gently caress) when those shows first aired, so he may not have the most unbiased opinion on the matter now. EDIT: ... No offense, Oh Snapple!. I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Jan 2, 2015 |

Oh Snapple! posted:Casshern is probably the best non-Dandy thing Toonami has shown since its return and I wish they were airing it again instead of DW because it's a much better show in basically every respect. If your mark against it was "IT WAS BORING AS gently caress" then I'm inclined to think you're an ADD-riddled manchild. It's a slow show but it makes every second worthwhile in its ultimate payoffs. Also had really great fight choreography and baller aesthetics in its animation, and in general was a pretty honest show in its surprisingly positive themes despite the rather melancholic atmosphere. Compare to something like DW which is honestly just rather exploitative in its use of violence. 'course you could probably bring up Hellsing in that, but Hellsing also had a certain pervading charm about it and its characters and knew when to be serious and when to just goof the gently caress off. Why yes, as a matter of fact I DO have ADHD! Thank you for asking.  Kidding aside, that was one of my bigger marks against Casshern Sins, but it wasn't my only major one. The overall "duplicity of life and death" and "death makes life exciting" themes just... didn't click with me at all. I got the messages they were trying to send by episode 2, and then spent the rest of the series praying they were going to take a different angle on those, as they're pretty tired, uninteresting, and un-useful themes to me. I dunno, I have mixed feelings about Casshern Sins. The animation and aesthetics were indeed beautiful, as were the fight scenes and overall fight choreography, and being a huge Mega Man fanboy, I have to at least respect anything with Casshern, since it was such a major influence on so many parts of the Mega Man franchise. But beyond that...... I just don't really feel it. It's got tons of good stuff going for it, but beyond that superficial level, I personally just don't feel like buying the poo poo Casshern Sins is trying to sell me. And I have trouble understanding why anyone else would buy it, either. Sorry, man.

bango skank posted:Excited for Deadman Wonderland again(They've got it on Netflix but Toonami is pretty much the only way I consume anime.) It'd be cool to get something like Durarara back again too, maybe do another run of Death Note? I'd kill for Death Note to come back. Right now though, I'm happy about Deadman Wonderland coming back now that Adult Swim can say "poo poo" uncensored.

His (hilariously goony) backstory: He was a big fat smelly otaku neckbeard with no friends who lost all his toys and video games in the major Tokyo earthquake disaster known as "The Red Hole" 10 years prior to the start of the series, and this horribly traumatized/warped him into being a sadistic prison warden who now treats Deadman Wonderland like his own personal toy/game.

Oxxidation posted:If you're actually counting what happened in the manga, then this was the actual reason for everything. Major manga spoilers follow: ... well poo poo, even I could have predicted that. Everybody knows Dissociative Identity Disorder almost never presents with just one alternate personality; it normally presents as an interlinked network of at least two or three alternate personalities, each of which serves a vital purpose in maintaining and sustaining the whole, while oftentimes representing a distinct facet of human brain cognition/performance. (... okay, no, everybody doesn't know that, but I do and I really like to play Armchair Psychiatrist and occasionally sperg out over neuropsychiatry topics, so gently caress all yall  )
