her ancestor is, shes just a girl with a bow and a school uniform. but inuyasha has a big cool sword and he can see a special spot to slash and when he slashes that spot a big WOOOSSHHHH wind thing happens and he owns the bad guy of the week. then hijinks happen. unless sesshomaru is around......

Well great ancestor also does the same thing as main character girl, shooting spells from her bow and arrow. And was also revived from main girl because main girl is the reincarnation of great ancestor?

But that's getting into the weeds, we are here to see Bowcerer and Sword-dog get into wacky weekly adventures to collect the super special jewel mcguffin and maybe also kiss?

any cool law anime? i wanna see like, better call saul, or the courtroom scenes from the wire. but an anime. dont say phoenix wright.
theres some more grounded cop/detective stuff but i think in terms of courtroom/lawyer drama the ace attorney anime are the only ones. theres probably some seinen manga about it though if youre up for reading

There's an anime about a girl who pretends to be a telepath but is actually a secret government assassin and she doesn't actually have telepathy it came out around the same time as Amogus getting popular and its pretty good but by no means perfect. I really wish it leaned into the "mystery" way harder; where the plot is more about her gathering information and meticulous detail about her targets and the planning around how to take down powerful and dangerous super powered foes without having any powers herself.

Basically the fun part at the beginning of Fate/Zero when Kiritsugu fights Kayneth is what I really would have liked to have gotten out of it.

I tried SRW T and I didn't particularly like the SRPG bits but it did make me interested in gun x sword so I'm gonna watch that. Perhaps tonight.

bleach had two stopping points, after soul society (incredible), after aizen (fine) and just kept going. i think it has some really neat character designs and music and some huge plot problems that really make it drag the longer it goes on.

i've been plugging away at gundam in sequence and it's incredible how good it is. war in the pocket stands out, almost head and shoulders but having played a lot of like, super robot wars, it's hard not to hold reverence for the original stuff/char's counterattack. the impact of it is so immediately evident if you've been in and around anime for awhile and then watch it.

caveat to my jojo opinion i forgot to post because it always comes up: i have never really engaged with part 4 outside of reading duwang scans as they were coming out over a decade ago. maybe i would rate the part higher than that if i had done so. i like koichi, hes a funny little guy and he does the sasquach pose. you know the one.

Anime is good but I can’t see anything this season topping Birdie Wing

My friend likes sports anime and enjoys over the top stuff. I kept telling him he needing to watch Birdie Wing and he was all “yeah, sure I’ll do it.” With the tone of “I’m not doing that.” So I said “looks just watch the first episode with me and I’ll drop it.” He actually plays golf (casually) as well, so I knew this would hit close to home for him. Needless to say he apologized because he didn’t realize just how over the top it was and after two episodes we stopped because it’s the next anime he’s going to watch with his girlfriend.

Birdie Wing owns.

When I first read Part 4 I hated it, but when I reread it after it got a new translation I loved it.

Duwang gave us some good in-jokes, but it's been replaced and for the better.

whats your one single favourite giant robot. only one. no qualifiers
it depends. do you mean giant robot, or giant mecha? a piloted machine, or a self-aware sentient mechanical being?

if it's a self-aware creature, there's no doubt it's this fella. he says ONE LINE and is automatically one of the most badass transformers of all time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bcCKcXnJOU&hd=1

remember when High Noon Studios made a really amazing series of Transformers games using their own designs and reinvented lore, and then didn't get a chance to actually end the series and dissolved, leaving the series forever unfinished? boy that's a fuckin' shame I tell you hwat

if it's mecha, it's Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann, no question. Not basic Gurren Lagann, not Arc-Gurren Lagann, not even Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann(or Chouginga Gurren Lagann depending on preference) is an amazing design, it's literally the moon, and it transforms from a space battleship into the robot. it's so loving cool

unfortunately all youtube videos showing it off have been utterly scrubbed from existence, they're distressingly thorough about that poo poo. but it's a cool robot
