To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

I think you just have to let the Anime Scouts do their thing. I was looking through an old thread and pretty much no one called Shirobako as something worth watching, but for me at least it was Anime Of The Year. It's hard to say what will be good just from the descriptions.

If that Eva simulwatch happens I hope someone mentions it here. I've been spoiled on most of the plot points but have not actually seen the show. I'd like to.
No stop being logical and reasonable. This entire season is a pile of poo poo.

quote:

When Nanakorobi Nene, a cybernetically-enhanced girl-next-door, heads to the island metropolis of Cenancle to live with her aunt, she has no way of knowing what's in store for her. A chance meeting intertwines her fate with that of the super-rich inventor, Uzal Delilah, and her adorable and grumpy companion, Clarion, who happens to be a cyborg just like Nene.

Nene is thrilled to make a friend, but there's more to Uzal and Clarion - and the island of Cenancle itself - than meets the eye. When a super-powered terrorist threatens Cenancle, Uzal claims that the only way to avert disaster is for Nene to team up with Clarion and use their combined powers - abilities Nene never even knew she had!

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that
Someone detail me the difference between shounen ai and yaoi. I was never informed.

DBZ had Bulma, at least. It didn't really have an all-male cast, just almost no female characters who actually fought until 18 showed up.

A lot of shonen ai also have token female characters. Case closed, DBZ is gay.

shonen/shoujo-ai: assumed romantic subtext. pretty sure everyone is gay, this does not mean people are making out all the time. this would be your yuru yuris and free. usually about other things besides the smooching.

yuri/yaoi: they are making out and the story is explicitly about how these people are getting in each other's pants. this would be maka-maka and...uh gravitation, i guess, gently caress i can't think of an obvious yaoi

tbf Gundam isn't particularly popular in the west, even in anime communities, and where it is it's usually select series like Wing, 00, or SEED.

Thunderbolt looks really pretty and sounds amazing but then so did Unicorn.
The opening of the shot of panning over the debris field while pretty much horror movie music played was stunning though.
