I told myself I would only watch a few episodes and I ended up watching 7 in a row so I guess I can say I’m hooked lol
I decided to try another isakei and started Faraway Paladin. Holy crap this is good. A likable main character that isn’t OP, awesome animation, good pacing, and nice world building so far. Only 6 episodes so far.
I’m like 12 episodes into Tokyo Revengers and yeah it’s a good show for me but man these episodes feel so short with how long these recaps/OP/ED are. It felt like the last one was only maybe 17 minutes of actual content.
Pet peeve of mine is when the next episode of an anime starts with the last few minutes of the previous episode. Like... why? Are viewers like goldfish?
Just finished Sonny Boy, one of the weirder shows I've seen in a long time. Really loved it, not sure I understood it.
Just finished Wonder Egg Priority, which I really loved until they introduced a totally new plot point in the final episode, didn't resolve it, and then spent half of the "special" episode finale recapping everything we've already seen and still didn't resolve anything. Wish we could get another season but I'm not optimistic. Feels like anime series are either one rushed season, or it's a shonen that goes on for 25 seasons.
right? It’s great. Been thinking about the show a lot since I finished, could see it becoming a cult hit if people give it a chance
So I'm continuing my watch of the Certain series, and I'm now on Episode 7 of Index III, and I have a complaint but I realize it's not even really the anime's fault. Frenda's death. Feels so glossed over with no time to even process what just happened. Like, it happens so quick, it's almost blink and you'll miss it. But I realize the actual problem is because this sequence of events was written first in the Index light novels, and then her character was fleshed out afterward in the Railgun manga. And because I've decided to go in chronological order, I now have her backstory, so she means more to me as a character than she did to the series when this sequence was written. So maybe it's my fault. Maybe I should've watched Index completely first and then watched Railgun to have the blanks filled in, and then it wouldn't seem so disjointed. But that makes me wonder about the purpose of an adaptation. I know a lot of people complain about changes from the light novels and/or manga to anime and that's understandable since a lot of details and arcs tend to be excised for the sake of simplicity. This however feels like a scenario where they knew what was going to happen and knew both Index and Railgun were being adapted, so they could have taken the opportunity to make the story more seamless. Maybe add information or scenes to help make things feel less hollow. I dunno, maybe that's disrespectful to the author to alter the work, but I feel like as things are now, it just feels like compressed writing when it's technically not.
I feel like Gurren Lagann is just hyperbolic wholesome masculinity, and Kill La Kill is a sort of antithesis to that.
Don’t know which is creepier, that “God” creature or the Fire Force chapter a couple months ago where it showed a real life woman speaking to the audience lol
