The first half of KLK is pretty decent if you can get past the designs but the second half jumps off a loving cliff into oblivion.

Yeah it was a super dope show until the halfway point and then it literally just became the absolute worst

KLK at least gave us Mako Mankanshoku, some cool action sequences, and a bunch of good character music themes (even if several of them got run into the ground by the end).

Most of what it did well had already been done better by TTGL though, and going full :chloe: with Ragyo didn't help.

So Netflix's Saint Seiya is one more retelling of the Sanctuary saga, only this time it looks a boring rethread. Wasn't there even a recent all female remake of Saint Seiya?

You can do quality 3D, and this has Kamiyama involved, so that's enough to keep me hopeful.

Is this a spiritual successor or a direct successor to SAC, since it retains the name?

E: lame, still at least a year off

not that it's particularly worth watching but does netflix really only have 3 of the 5 GITS:Arise episodes?

So, Baki was surely something. Weird that it starts off in what seems to be the middle of the series, but from what I've heard is that if they started from the beginning it would be another JoJos situation.

I feel that the first half of the show is one of the best anime ever. Then midway it becomes trash, before getting pretty good again at the end.

I'm in the middle of it and it is pissing me off since Retsuko and her friends are such wimps toward Araki.

EDIT - I do find it amusing how the show downplay's power harassment with that arc. (so far at least). Sure Araki seems like a villain but Retsuko should have absolutely done the same with her boss.

I binged S2 last night, and, yeah, Anai had entirely too much power, for too long. His redemption, such as it was, wasn't enough. I was really hoping Retsuko would step up and get through to him. At least Kabae got some development from it.
I knew Retsuko's relationship wouldn't last (I think it's predestined to be Haida), but I'm glad the way it ended how it did. I was worried he would have turned out to be more of a villain. And it ended with character growth!

Unlike last season, I flipped back and forth to the English dub a few times, and was pretty disappointed by what I heard.

Pasting my post from CSPAM:

punk rebel ecks posted:

I just finished season 2 of Aggretsuko and holy poo poo is the series reactionary as gently caress, even by anime standards.

The season literally revolved around how the protagonist wants to do absolutely nothing in life but work her lovely job where she gets abused and be home to be barefoot and pregnant.

Also, workers who report workplace abuse are just snowflake manchildren who are too afraid to grow up.

The show literally has entire monologues developed to the two points reciting what I said word for word.

The season also features Andrew Yang.

tadano is right and retsuko's job is done by computers already in normal countries

agreed on anai

i dont think promoting marriage and childbirth in a dying country is wrong per se, but it's a multifaceted issue

Anyone else watch Sirius the Jaeger? It's not a bad watch for a single-cour show of a werewolf fighting Vampires in the 1910's.

Also I just liked the hilariously Super-Gothic Vampire designs :allears:.

Saw Kakegurui pop up on my Netflix recs. Remembered crazy face memes when it was first being aired.

I'm on episode 8, and I still have no idea what to think about it. The OP is a banger though.

I really dug Angel Beats! thanks to the interesting setting and impressive ability to land both comedy and emotional beats. The songs are great too.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is really clever. I went in blind and got way more than I expected.

In a very different vein, I'm looking forward to Kakegurui XX next. :getin:
