oh shit really?? I would’ve thought they’d skip to part 8 because of the horses being hard to animate

The ones with Kevin Penkin on the OST. There’s at least two of them now (Made in Abyss, Tower of God), so I guess they’re not unique anymore, but hey

present day, present time?? Wow, I never thought i’d see new Lain stuff aside from the stuff the breakcore artists I follow put out.

ok

is this that cooking anime just without the cooking?

bendy straw… with a pinky out

oh no, another traumatized healer protaganist? im scared

damn, you always hate to see it happen. was this anime good? I’ve always seen it in the catalogue but never took the plunge

no skin in the game but I nominate Okarun’s Transformation form for best soles. Those things are durable as hell to be sprinting across the pavement at those speeds and casually breaking roofing tiles.

i’ve got no skin in this particular discussion, (I never watched naruto lol) but you might be interested in plague of gripe’s plague of gripes on naruto’s main character energy that he didn’t earn

GRIFFIIII–oh wait, false alarm

I suffered through the unmitigated and uncut One Piece anime until my interest and patience petered out at the end of Punk Hazard. I’ll get back in one day…

S1E1 spoiled me, I’ve been feeling like that every single episode

Lets all love Lain.

Of the new season, Train to the end of the world & Jellyfish can’t swim

Check out the Mother’s Basement youtube channel for some good seasonal recommendations. He also covers trashy anime in seperate videos from his ones-to-watch or best-of videos, if you wanted to avoid (or deliberately delve into) that.

lotgh op 2

"In every age

In every place

The deeds of men

Remain the same"

I cant believe this was as good as it was. A “Romance of the week” format sounds like a disaster, but Rentaro really really really really really loves those 100 girlfriends so it actually works?

oh there were some good ones this year

Frieren, Ancient Magus Bride, Sacrificial Princess, Pluto, Heavenly Delusion, and there were ones I just missed.

Of the ones i’ve fully completed, I’ll say Sacrificial Princess & King of Beasts gets my vote as best - It stands alongside Beastars as one of the brave few anime to not coward out and just make the non-human women completely ordinary humans with cat ears and :3 faces.

The problem with the current one no sane person can catch up on is that it doesnt want you to catch up on it. The number of episodes is one thing, but the sheer disrespect that it puts on the viewers time is egregiously bad. Theres so much stuff to like in the anime, but its layered under 3 and a half minute OP, 3 and a half minute recaps, multi-part flashbacks occuring before and after mid-episode splashes, entire episodes in the middle of critical arcs that are just flashbacks, glacial shounen battle arcs, and somehow loads of cut side content despite its incredible bulk. A remake can right all of that.
