That seems so rare these days. The number of episodes is definitely what put me off of Bleach, Naruto, DBZ and OP.

KISS ME KRIS

most of the anime epics I can't really get into the characters. Dragon Ball is the exception and that only happened because the manga is 1000% better than the animated show. That said, the animated stuff is pretty fun too(like Goku falling off the dragon way and beating the poo poo out of everything because Goku is how I'm trying to be).

I tend to veer more towards the mecha and super robot stuff because 1. piloting giant anything is the coolest feeling ever. 2. the metaphors you can use to represent getting into a giant robot and fighting your enemies are super relatable.

According to OpenEmu, I've now logged 1 day, 14 hours, 57 minutes in Super Robot Taisen A Portable and I've not even in New Game+

I'm getting really fed up reading comments online about victims of the virus. A staff member of my states governor just died. She was 33. The first comment on Facebook was "stop lying she was immumocompromised stop trying to scare people. "

As if they didn't matter. I hate people like that. Some real Nazi language
Right? Nazis have been with us the whole time, waiting for their moment. And their moment arrived, and here we are, living in a world where they voted for the first unfathomably ignorant person who just said the quiet part loud, and they're just openly doing this poo poo everywhere.

I've been on the internet since about 1993, and Nazis have been a problem from the start, and well before that in the BBS days, but the more popular the platform, the less likely people would be able to get away with it, for a time. You could watch people get banned from AOL for speaking favorably about HItler back in 1994, for gently caress's sake. But here we are, two-and-a-half decades later, and Twitter and Facebook ban queer people and people of color before they ban Nazis.

Most people still use "owned" as a term as if it doesn't have its roots in racism, but I was there, playing Quake and Half-Life, where people would call you the N-word and say that "owned" you when they won. And even internet leftists still use it, and I'm never sure if they're doing it on purpose, or if they've just never thought about it or its etymology.

I watch people being banned from so many places for being irritating to others by fighting the creeping fascism in ways that aren't deemed civil enough while literal Nazis get the benefit of the doubt, because their freedom of speech is favored more than others'.

So here we are in a quarantine, and it's worse than any time in recent memory, as the president of America crosses out "Corona" and writes "Chinese," and just what the actual gently caress?! How is this happening?!

I never really pushed the term "owned" away that hard because it came from hacking, referring to gaining root access, or literally owning another system if only temporarily. Hackers and then script kiddies would always put up greetz to other hackers or script kiddies after making it known that they owned whatever server it was with a defaced website or some file in the db. i used to hang out with and think those kinds of people were cool in the early to mid 90s but there were a lot of horrible slang terms back then so I can't in good conscience say it was not meant to be related to slavery in some way. dang

Bunny Drop (or Usagi Drop) is a short 12-ish episode slice of life/coming of age dramedy about a goony guy raising his grandfather's 6 year old illegitimate child after he passes away. It's heartfelt and has relatable, human characters. I really enjoyed it years ago and have been meaning to give it another watchthrough again one day.

This is exactly what I'm looking for thank you. I just want nice, quiet stories about family trying to make it. In all media.

With all due respect to JoJo fans, I understand that it means a lot to people and I respect that, but I've seen one or two episodes and I'd rather lob off my own foot than watch any more. It is not a show made for me.

Naoki Urasawa's Monster is a fantastic show that's cool and for adults and is emotionally mature and thematically rich and all that. The basic premise is a doctor in Germany saves the life of a young child, who years later shows up as a dangerous serial killer that the doctor then has to track down and apprehend. Lots of cool mysteries and intrigues and character drama ensues. Lots of cool music and imagery, that you can see right in the opening.

I figured a longer series would be fine, seeing as how everyone is stuck inside for the forseeable future.

Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood are both on Hulu, and while the plot parts are kinda all over the place Gundam Unicorn is really pretty and has some incredible fight scenes, it and Neon Genesis Evangelion are on Netflix

Not much of that on Hulu or Netflix, you'll want a VRV subscription so you can have access to the Crunchyroll and Hidive libraries

Also I'd highly recommend Isekai Izakaya, I think it'll be right up your alley

Both perfect shows. Wild that the best shows of that decade came at the immediate beginning and the immediate end, respectively.
