So they can set up a bonding moment between Luffy and Zoro where Zoro shouts out his finishing move during the final battle of the season.

 

Zoro gonna do a finishing essay like he did vs Pica, man's got a word count to hit

 

Kneejerk answer: because American filmmakers are embarrassed by the popular content they feel compelled to adapt by market forces and rarely understand it

Measured answer: it's a cheeky means of preparing western audiences who have only watched live action shows and are unfamiliar with shonen tropes that the majority of the characters they're about to encounter call out their moves when they fight

 

Finished Vinland S2 last night. Might be one of my favorite seasons of anime I've ever watched. Incredible character development/growth made up for the slower pacing and lack of major action that was in S1. I wasn't clamoring for more action at all throughout the whole thing tbh. Patiently waiting for S3 in like 2026

 

god I hope there's a season 3

reception is lukewarm in japan so it seems like they're marketing to international audiences explicitly now

japan doesn't deserve it

 

new season of Konosuba next year

 

Fucking amazing.

 

post from last week

 

s3 of Vinland Saga would actually probably have more violence than s2 lol

though the manga is on what would be season 4 rn and there’s been no violence at all

 

Ranking of Kings movie announced

 

Excited because I assume we’ll get Iris and Cecily.

 

Yeah, Vinland Saga season two is a masterpiece. Bring on season three.

 

before I scrolled down to the end of the poster I legit thought this was something about your name

 

Finally started Skip and Loafer, it’s an absolute joy. Really reminds me of Kimi ni Todoke

 

Heavenly Delusion fucking rules, wish there was SOME reveal or answers in the season finale though. Hopefully we get more seasons. Might start the manga from where it left off

 

Just finished Heavenly Delusion this weekend as well with the last 4 eps. Really wish they went all out with a longer 24-26 ep season. I was really getting hooked with those last few. One of my favorite shows of the year so far either way. Beautifully animated, the post-apocalyptic setting is fun to explore, and I love the dynamic between Maru & Kiruko. Excited to watch more when it eventually comes.

 

Hisoka's crotch glowing and the ass focus on Gon, in Hunter x Hunter. Weird, along with gross and disturbing.

 

Reason one why HxH will never be better than YYH

 

Confused whether it's a sequel or like a re-imagining or what

 

The evidence so far looks like it's pointing towards a reboot, from the title, the trailer being of Lawrence and Holo's first meeting, and it being so long since the original series.

But they did get the same cast and they're promoting it as a new adventure, so who knows. The marketing is all confused.

 

Yeah, that's the direction I was leaning until I saw the "new adventure" bit. Didn't know about the voice cast.

Would prefer some sort of sequel over just the same thing again.

 

Me too, cause a reboot runs the risk of stopping at the same point or earlier. If they're committing to a full adaptation, that's one thing, but they haven't said anything.

 

I really liked the original Spice and Wolf so I'm excited for this regardless of what form it takes
