Last Celebration posted:But I think Endorph is more commenting on the premise of the movie’s narrative being kinda weird with Broly as a fifty year old man. I understand that, but my point was thinking of the situation in terms of human ageing is not reasonable because of the nature of the characters. It's like thinking the Ents conversation length was weird because Pippin didn't take time scale into account.

The "wackiness" of the Re:Zero world almost entirely comes from Subaru, though. (Puck's playful personality not withstanding.) Everyone else acts and reacts like a normal loving person, and I think that's the point. His hijinks are literally him just falling back on his otaku background as a means to cope with absolutely, bug-gently caress insane situations he finds himself in. I love him as a character because he's exactly how you'd imagine a well-meaning but emotionally stunted otaku with huge self-esteem issues would act. A whole lot of people cringe at the scene where he's screaming at Emilia, but that is the realist poo poo in the world. That is the exact point he loving snaps and just dumps everything in a meagre attempt to salvage his own sanity and ego. He fucks up hard in that scene, and he knows it.

I also want to hop in and just say that Re:Zero's S2 opening, Long Song, is top 5 OPs of the last decade. And we only hear it like 3 loving times the whole season because they crammed so much content, they just skipped the OP/ED for 10 of the episodes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X5hG51jbA

Saoshyant posted:Humanity Has Declined (Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita). It's a surreal comedy and a cynical social critique, painted in the most colorful pastels you can imagine. The main character is... refreshing -- a deadbeat doing the work no one else wants in a world where humanity is approaching extinction, and that job being a UN mediator with an entirely new species. Said species are a bunch of weird smiling fairies, easily excited and ready to commit exactly all of humanity's excesses without a care in the world. It's pretty drat unique. Seconding this rec. Two things to know going in, though. There is a bit of a lull in the middle, and the story arcs are shown out of chronological order, Haruhi-esk.

Steins;Gate's story is surprisingly linear. You just miss all the "bad" ends you can get from the VN which I highly recommend you Youtube if you don't want to go through the novel. Some of them are really good and you'll instantly know where in the anime that decision branch happens.

There is an episode in the most recent season that, IMO, redeems/explains Subaru’s entire thing perfectly. The trials episode is the best one of the series.

PRADA SLUT posted:Nana Nana's anime ending was terrible because they just cut off in the middle of that arc and do a flash forward for the last episode which spoils a bunch of crap from a few arcs in the future.

Annath posted:How many versions are there? The first two manga were written simultaneously with the anime. (The anime was the original but due to production delays, the first manga's initial volumes came out first.) One was basically a battle series released in Shounen Ace. The second started releasing right as the anime was finally releasing. That was the shoujo adaptation serialized in Asuka Fantasy DX. The third manga was a mutli-artist collab of short stories released after the anime had finished. Neither is really comparable with the show. There was also a novelization released shortly after the anime in Newtype. The localization of the anime in the West was a clusterfuck because the localizers wanted Van to be the main character, so they edited a lot of the Hitomi scenes and even released the second episode as the premiere just so they could get to the initial fight with the dragon first before going into all of Hitomi's emotional characterization. They also straight up cut out a lot of episodes that dealt with "taboo topics". IIRC as a kid, they eventually just never even broadcast the latter episodes (at least on Fox in the U.S.) because of how heavy everything gets. The movie was released years later as a condensed reimagining of the show but with different plot beats and a much much much edgier tone. It isn't terrible but isn't as good as the series and fucks with the characters in a lot of weird ways.

BattleMaster posted:My SO and I really enjoy comedy shows where the main character is some kind of terrible goblin who screams a lot and are often drawn as a chibi blob while they have their "clever" plans or reasoning backfire and they get exactly what they deserve while a straight man character or narrator heedlessly tells them that they are an idiot but things turn out alright and heartwarming in the end. Examples we have watched include Tearmoon Empire, The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, 'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess, Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro, and Squid Girl. WataMote probably fits.
