Yes Shinji. Kwaru told you not to take the spears out and now your did and there's a fourth impact. Grats. Stay out of the loving robot.

they'd of found a way to do it anyway eventually, like they now use tech to fake lilith. Thats the one thing i'm confused about. It seems like humanity was reaching a point techwise where they were rivaling 'the gods' but Gendo was all like 'we have no choice but to do this elaborate ritual or we'll be exterminated'. Exterminated by who? You've murdered all the angels as part of the elaborate ritual. You have giant space battleships that rival the gods in power. Who even were 'the gods' at that point? It can't be the adams because they just formed a sentai team and got eaten.

edit: lol i forgot for a second this is all just to see his dead wife, did anything he say matter other than that point?

She was probably middle class

Seeing online creeps, you understand why so many decide to hide behind an anime avatar. Also it’s like you can use tech to become anything you want. A dragon, a skellington, an anime lady with big boobers, whatever you can imagine. You get famous without anyone knowing who you really are.

Shame about the creeps.

I’m rewatching Trigun now because of the reboot announcement and there’s a really confusing line in the episode where the whole town’s going after him where Vash is like “until I find the man you’re looking for, I have to keep moving” which makes no sense because the man they’re looking for is him, why would he be looking for himself, and this is supposed to be a serious scene it doesn’t match the tone for him to be like “well whoever this Vash guy is I’d better keep an eye out for him!” So I switched over to the sub real quick and what he actually says is “Until I find him, I have to keep moving” which makes way more sense because it hints at Vash’s actual goal and leaves it open-ended who he’s talking about. Hope someone got fired for that blunder!

it could just be poetic licence because he knows who they really want because he knows he's not the bad guy even if they don't

Finally got around to finishing GitS SAC: 2045 and it's so drat messy. I still don't even have a good idea of what the N is supposed to be, exactly. It feels like they're trying to combine the puppetmaster and GitS 2: Innocence plotlines into a big jumbled mess. The second season looks better than the first, but the art direction still looks like a video game cutscene. I was half expecting that I'd have to take the controls of a tachikoma any minute. It feels like they had a lot of interesting ideas on the table but didn't know how to string them together and make a point. A lot of stuff happens only to not matter at all, like the Prime Minister of Japan being a white American, or Togusa's flashback to being tortured and having to run in the woods for four days. Just a lot of unexplored ideas and wasted time.

Its so weird how the anime industry goes through these periods where they forget how to do anything right. Like just unable to tell a coherent story. Even the basics have been temporarily forgotten.

im down with horny content but not the weird pedo poo poo that pops up in anime constantly.

there has to be a happy medium between sexless american porridge and anime

golden age anime from the late nineties had the perfect balance

Escaflowne, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop

all knew where to draw the line. But the anime industry has collapsed so many times since then. They do what they think they gotta do and currently that is market to the worst of the worst.

We don't generally actually see that happen in cyberpunk, though. The most that'll happen is some dipshit toady being incompetent or greedy gets shafted for it. Or one of the protagonists will have parents who got screwed over by a richer guy and then committed suicide for a tragic backstory. If you're particularly unlucky you'll be in an office that gets bombed by the protagonists. Whereas if you're poor or one of the protagonists you're just a walking ball of death flags at all times. A protagonist who defects to the corporate side will almost certainly die, but usually because they'll get killed by the people they tried to backstab. It ends up being a numbers game, and if you're poor you're almost certainly gonna die, but if you're middle class or better you might die but you'll have a pretty great life up until that point. Maybe it's my own limited exposure to the genre that's the issue here, but the protagonists rarely accomplish anything meaningful unless they're either trying to stop some cataclysm from happening or have a small personal goal that will still probably cost them their life. A lot of stories have the same shortcoming of being unable to envision a better world

The 'nothing can get better' nihilism is baked into that genre and I agree that it limits it greatly. Both in scope and enjoyability. But I don't think its accidental. It's just accepted that by the end of a cyberpunk story everything will still be hosed but one of the protagonists might be richer.

No, that's Magical Girl Raising Project. Madoka is "what if magical girls lived in our reality and not one where being 'evil' meant sending bumbling fools to a tiny town to somehow take over the world." I imagine it's pretty much incomprehensible to people who aren't familiar with magical girl tropes.

Sort of like "inside baseball."

All of these animes sound really bad, don't sound at all like ones where someone shoots someone and it goes ka-BLASH or a sword totally cuts someone in half imo

More akira and shigirui imo (tho the latter is very weird too)

In trying to remember how to spell shigirui I discovered shigeru mizuki who fought in ww2 and wrote about it, gonna check out his manga Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths if I can find it

anime is in a slump right now and many won't admit it

it's ok there will be a new golden age in 5 years or so

Being embraced as a vampire is basically marrying into the ruling class. This is really basic poo poo.

i think its just the thrill of being in a relationship with a monster that could kill you but doesn't because it likes you back

it had some high highs but really low lows. the worst thing about it is how it constantly teases bigger things but never actually goes there. There’s no way this is the story Ōkouchi actually wanted to tell. The series didn’t get nearly as much support as it should have and they shut it down when it was getting the most interesting.
