The greatest injustice is that there will be no second season of My Roommate is a Cat. It's about a cat that goes from living on the street to living with a human so it's basically an isekai.

pillsburysoldier posted:Yeah 9 eps in to s2 of promised neverland and that's a ton of convenient plot points happening all at once Season 2 of TPN is maybe one of the most baffling things I've seen out of an anime studio in the modern era. most shonen is about milking the fanbase for as long as possible, but TPN just decided to condense 3/4 of the plot into one season and end it with a slideshow that makes no sense unless you've read the manga.

galagazombie posted:The Anime went to poo poo because after the terrible Manga finale ended the franchises profit potential the producers told them they weren't going to fund more seasons so just throw together something on zero-budget to fulfill contractual obligations and milk whatever little money from fans there was left through pre-orders of the disc-set. Plus there's the fact that a huge amount of anime these days exist (and are funded) mainly as vehicles to push interest and sales of the still ongoing source material. And since the Promised Neverland source material had ended (regardless of if it had ended bad or good) the anime lost a lot of its reason for existing. Can't wait for Demon Slayer Season 2 to be animated by A-1 pictures and come out looking like way of the househusband.

on one hand, I get why Demon Slayer got huge. It has charming characters and decent fight scenes and the anime is fantastic looking. On the other, I don't get how it was the manga that finally broke the One Piece streak and sold a ridiculous 82 million volumes.

pillsburysoldier posted:The head captain dies Quincies are the only people who have the capability of actually annihilating a soul rather than just pushing it forward through the cycle of reincarnation, so pretty much the only ones who actually die during the series are the losers who get owned in the final arc and the miniboss villain in Hueco Mundo that's there just so Uryu can be not useless for a couple chapters.

All shonen series tend to do their supporting casts dirty to one degree or another but Bleach was particularly bad. The only side characters that got good fights were the ones that were still kinda villains like Kenpachi and Kurotsuchi.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:my favorite thing about bleach is how it never introduced terminology for a ghost dying despite that being pretty much the only thing the manga was about. most of the ghosts did not die, due to popularity or kubo's bad writing habits. but this does not change that the various ghosts were constantly brought to the edge of ghost-death. another funny bit was how most of the important ghosts were nobles, meaning they were the result of ghosts bumping ghost uglies and pumping out ghost babies. they were never human. ghost Burn the Witch implies that there are multiple afterlives and where you go when you die primarily depends on your geographic location at time of death. Kubo's cosmology is wild.

Casey Finnigan posted:Tanjiro feels like he works cause he's cartoonishly nice and that's his most defining trait but his niceness doesn't get in the way of his goals or his effectiveness, doesn't stop him from standing up for himself, and ends up becoming a boon for him more than anything. it seems like every fight in KNY ends with the demon telling a sob story about how they eat humans because no one loved them or whatever and Tanjiro's like "that's super sad but you still gotta die, dude."

My biggest issue is that Spike's suit really doesn't translate well to live action. It looks weird that a guy who has to do kung fu and gunfights constantly would wear something that would restrict his movement so much. like that promo still that's clearly from the vicious chapel fight. He's bloodied and scuffed up but that slimfit single breasted suit coat is still buttoned and immaculate. This might just be a me issue but it looks super weird to me.

christmas boots posted:It also suffers from that thing where writers have no sense of scale since he ends up killing about 80% of all life on earth which I'm pretty sure just means everyone's completely hosed in the long-term. This was a problem from the very beginning of the show. The people in charge of the city decide to just ice 25% of their population in like episode 2 for the lulz. The scout regiment takes laughably huge casualties throughout that make no sense, especially since there's no real mention of people getting conscripted into the scouts and basic training in universe takes 3 years. There's no way they would be able to come close to replenishing their numbers. You gotta just roll with the idea that the huge numbers being thrown around are there for dramatic effect.

genericnick posted:They ice 25% of the population because they lost a large part of the arable land. The scouts lose a lot of people but most of the mass causality events are years apart. What? They say that the scouts take about 30% casualties on every mission. That's a higher casualty rate than the battle of Antietam. any unit that suffered those kind of casualties regularly would find itself unable to replenish itself fast, particularly when you consider the time to train new recruits and the fact that only the biggest death wish psychos enter the scout corps because both entering the military and the scout corps specifically are voluntary.

The whole time I was watching GW I was thinking that Sticky Fingers would have been a much better stand for a main protagonist, with GE probably being better on a side character too dumb to use it properly outside of a couple moments, basically the same way The Hand was in DiU. Sticky Fingers is a stand with a lot of really cool tricks and uses while not being too obviously godmode like Gold Experience or even Crazy Diamond. also despite watching several videos about it and trying my hardest to understand it I still don't get how King Crimson works. It has the same problem as GE where it just does what the plot needs it to do. And I hate the final battle and the concept of Requiem stands in general.

I literally got to the current last episode of AOT before I realized that there's still half a season left to go. This final season has been dogshit. I'll probably watch the back half after it's all aired to just see the end of the train wreck. this show is pretty much the anime equivalent of Lost. huge mystery box where the driving force of the story is hoping for another lore dump so you’ll actually understand what’s happening, but after the show put all its cards on the table at the end of season 3 it just exposed how awful the plot and characters all are now that they have to carry the story.

My take on AOT is that it's basically anime Lost. It was a mystery box show that when it put all its cards on the table at the end of season 3, just exposed how shallow its plotting and characterization was the whole time.

So I started watching 86 Eighty Six on the recommendation of some anime tiktoker and so far it's pretty good. The premise is that in response to basically skynet happening a neighboring country built walls around itself, kicked all the non white people out of the country and pressed them into military service fighting the robots. I'm only a couple eps in but so far its pretty solid. Gives AOT crossed with Gundam vibes. It's weird that Japan seems to have a lot of media involving purging minorities recently though.

Pitch posted:I watched the Demon Slayer movie and I'm still confused about exactly what part of the train was infinite. The first season had several demons who can warp space to make mazelike building interiors people can't escape from, so I expected something like that. But actually the train was so finite that they specifically called out how the five protagonists could split up to cover the entire thing. You didn't see the pair of time travelers playing the niche 2d fighting game Mugen in the background?
