Huh… That first season was so mediocre. The original show is heavily flawed and I was kind of looking forward to the first season because of that, But It’s just so bland. The art is very average and uninteresting the voice acting is fine, which is a big step up from the og. The music is way worse in the new one. The pacing is better. It’s a really mixed bag. They fixed the weak areas a little, but also lost most of what made it good in the first place.

IDK… I really wanted a new and improved Kenshin, but I’m not sure why this is even getting a second season. Was it popular in Japan? No one I know watched it over here.

no idea, it’s quieter, slower, and more contemplative than any of those. but it’s still a fantasy adventure story.

give it a shot if you’re curious.

it’s neither, it just lowers inhibition. so when you have that random thought like “what if i slapped that guy” you’re just not going to stop yourself. that doesn’t make you a good or bad person, everyone has different things going on in their head. what matters is the thoughts and actions we listen to and let live. like, no one is right all the time, but alcohol will make you feel like you are. leads to mistakes.

in this case I think it’s obvious that Rudy didn’t really feel that way, if anything he’s just confused and rejecting the “maybe you just need to go it the long and hard way” speech that he just got. that was him grasping at straws “no, it’s not because I’m emotionally damaged and need to work on that, she’s just got too small titties!” which if he wasn’t drunk, i think he’s now mature enough to think about and realize obviously isn’t the answer either. even if he was that shallow, all his other interests have had small breasts. like, it’s so completely untrue that he couldn’t be doing anything other than drunkenly trying to drown out the sad thought without thinking.
