the second anime skipped over 99% of the poo poo from the first anime that was considered canon so people didn't have to watch it twice (also so you have to buy both shows i guess :v:

they're both on streaming; my preferred frankenstein is first 26 episodes of fma > episode 11 of brotherhood and then finish it out

or just watch both if you have time i guess

Some of the choices for what anime to signal boost with broadcasts in the us has been weird too

No idea why viz doomed Naoki Urasawa's Monster to being on that Chiller network instead of literally anything else, though it may have just been passed on by a few of those other late night blocks

That and Cromartie High School should have both been on AS god drat it, give em both the exposure they deserve

yeah urasawa is criminally underappreciated in the us, probably because the only work of his that got adapted into anime was monster and that got fuckin buried

shame, too, monster would have done numbers given how much people fuckin loved paranoia agent over here

i think the big thing working against monster now that i think about it is that it’s over 70 episodes long and isn’t a shonen battle anime where you can get hooked just catching ten minutes or whatever at 4 am, and it doesn’t have satoshi kon’s aesthetic

(it’s totally worth watching if you haven’t; the pacing tends to drag for the first ten episodes but it’s really good i swear)

Pitch posted:

Guy is chosen as one of the legendary heroes of the kingdom by the gods or whatever, but his only talent is healing. The rest of the party abuses him and drags him around for years even though using his power traumatizes him. Eventually he finds a bullshit way that he can use the "heal" spell to do literally anything and he rewinds time several years to start over and enact a gruesome revenge fantasy against everyone who wronged him. Episode 1 was just sort of bad but episode 2 has a lot of rapes, a scene of him breaking all of the princess's fingers one by one, making her beg him to stick his dick in her instead of a red-hot poker, and ends with him erasing her memory and convincing her that she's actually his devoted servant before they set off together to track down the other people he's after. The words "torture porn" get thrown around a lot but...

are there people who watch this poo poo like "hell yeah, this is what i'm all about gently caress yeah dude hell loving yeah"

besides the fact it's a ripoff of shield hero (or shield hero is a ripoff of it, or whatever the gently caress) mixed with time travel, it just doesn't sound like the pacing is very good; the idea of "helpful power turned harmful" is okay i guess but it doesn't seem like a very good revenge fantasy??

I hadn't heard from it so I looked it up on MyAnimeList and there's forum threads with basically the people you're describing. Lots of "can't wait for the uncensored version!" :stonk:

i watched it out of morbid curiosity and it’s just... bad. it’s so bad. the pacing is bad. the animation is bad.

i stopped watching in the middle of the second episode because, well, didn’t need to see that, but nothing up to that point would lead me to believe that there’s anything there beyond just an especially twisted take on power fantasy and titties. lotso titties. bazongas. ta tas. also the main character being sexually assaulted so that we know that he’s in the right.

I didn't get super into that but it's definitely worth a shot. I haven't watched a ton of food shows, the ones that really stuck with me are Silver Spoon (about an agricultural high school) and Wakakozake (the episodes are only 2 minutes long but you'll get it if you check the first episode)

silver spoon is great

cooking papa is fun if you want some relaxing 90s anime vibes with low stakes; the backgrounds are all done in that sailor moon watercolor aesthetic which is always really nice to look at; yakitake japan is also good but i assume everyone knows about it already

i've been meaning to watch bartender for a while but haven't gotten around to it

There's a lot of fascist imagery in the show being utilized by the protagonists and it takes a bit before the story really starts to call it into question in a major way. But ultimately I think the story has thematically landed on the idea that literally everything lovely has happened because of some kind of reactionary power.

the ending/where the story is currently would also seem to point to the Great Man Theory that underpins fascism as being... flawed, to say the least

but that truffaut quote also applies: it’s hard to include fascism in media without making it appealing on some level to someone, unless you’re making it so cartoonish and abstract (like in the new star wars films) that it ceases to be a coherent ideology (or even ceases to be fascism) and consequentially it looks ridiculous that anyone would believe it

nuance is hard

watching burn the witch, only got about five minutes in before they dropped the totally bonkers statistic that in this world, 72% of deaths are attributable to dragons

for reference in the real world 73% of deaths are attributable to non-communicable diseases

dragons are twice as deadly as heart disease

e: well
the “you can never go home again” subtext of higurashi came out a bit, but as someone who uh never actually watched the original just this new version i am mostly just confused!

yeah the frustrating thing is that it’s not a remake but there’s a lot of content that’s repeated from the first series as if for new viewers so the pacing is bad but it also doesn’t work as a standalone viewing experience

higurashi gou's pacing really is loving atrocious

finally got to the part where stuff is actually happening and rapidly diverging from the remake but now in episode 15 it's going way too fast; we're just burning through four loops in one episode? i gotta sit through 12.5 episodes of repetition and we're just gonna diffuse the tension of how each loop gets hosed up by going through it like a clip show? it's antithetical to everything else and it just feels... mean
