Nomad firing on all cylinders three weeks straight. I liked the first season of Megalobox well enough, but Nomad feels like an entirely new, much more confident show.

Just watched Vivy and it's probably gonna be my third watch of the season alongside Zombieland and To Your Eternity. Discount Monokuma is my favorite character so far (which apparently is a very rare opinion.)

Please tell me someone else here is still watching the Moriarty show, because that last line... I saw it coming, but couldn't make myself believe that's where they were going.

dogsicle posted:it was a pretty conspicuous scene, but so far i'm just taking stuff like that as references rather than full-on continuity. they've been kind of inconsistent in how characters are handled with Lydia and Yana being similar to their 90s counterparts while Shelley isn't and other characters seem to exist largely as name references like the detective or Paglia. it's obvious Kanata's grandma was raising her granddaughter into a potential athlete, but whether she's actually Akari from the original i'll wait for them to reveal (or not, and leave as an ambiguous tease). I also wish the series would be less vague on if it's a reboot with references, or a sequel, but honestly with the way the whole "civil war on the moon" plot was told via a dialogue dump by Lydia and Yana, I'm starting to not trust the series with telling the greater interesting plot bits well. Like it almost feels like there's two anime here - one's the stuff with the sports girls, the other is all the intriguing world things happening around them. And I'm not sure how they're going to mix those two. Then again the ending of the 1997 series (spoilered because even though it's old it's worth watching IMO) had the whole alien thing come out of nowhere in the last three episodes and somewhat pulled it off

Watched the first ep of Super Cub. It's an interesting contrast with the opener of Yurucamp S1 - whereas in the latter they used as few words as possible to convey that Rin was alone but comfortable, Koguma is alone and quietly sad. I hope the murderscooter brings her joy edit: the one thing I would say is it was kinda weird that they completely skipped her getting her license. Felt like it should have been a bigger event for someone in her head space, if that makes sense Guess I'll have to sub to Funi, too. Can't remember if I've ever done that before.

As Davincie said about 86, The Jannisaries and Mamluks provide ample real life example of "Let's use slaves as the cornerstone of our military and our most elite force, what could go wrong!". Both examples also ended in the Mamluks/Jannisaries saying "If I'm the one with the sharp objects why aren't I in charge?" and taking over their respective empires. So the 86'ers doing it would just be a page right out of history and I'd bet money on a mutiny/escape plan being in the world near the series end.

The Jannisaries iirc didn't "take over" the Ottomans but they did exercise a considerable degree of influence and have a great deal of powers and privileges of being a part of such a elite class entailed but it isn't like they declared themselves the Caliph. They're more like the Praetorian Guard in Rome where the people who are ostensibly are supposed to protect the Emperor are also in a position to choose who gets to be Emperor. A better analogy is like a combination of penal battalions during WW2 by the Soviets mixed with Roman Auxiliaries. e: A quick look at wikipedia suggests ghilman, slave soldiers that predate the jannissary corps in the islamic world. The Confederacy during the Civil War tried to use slaves as soldiers, that's actually probably closest along with Osttruppen during WW2.

Moriarty S1 felt like it was almost all setup and kind of boring, but in S2 that's finally all over with and the story is spreading it's fantastically dumb wings in the best way.

bass reeves was forced into fighting with his master for the south but it didn't last long because he was a better shot than his master and at one point he just clocked his master in the face during a card game and bolted

I did not in any way shape or form see it coming, but then it happened and it is the best, most wonderfully stupidest thing ever. And oh my God, yes, more, more, MORE. If this series goes out like A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen I will be over the loving moon. Sindai posted:Moriarty S1 felt like it was almost all setup and kind of boring, but in S2 that's finally all over with and the story is spreading it's fantastically dumb wings in the best way.  I didn't think of the series as particularly boring in the first cour, and I was actually a little bit worried about the plot once they decided they were going to have one, but this episode turned it all the hell around. And the title the next episode says they're going to do an arc about Jack the Ripper? Yes loving please.

Maxwell Adams posted:I want somebody to go ahead and spoil the dumb thing Moriarty is doing. Well all right, here goes, obvious extremely major spoilers: The opening arc of season two is an expanded version of A Scandal in Bohemia, that one story with Irene Adler. Except it turns out that in this story she didn't steal some tantalizing photographs of the King of Bohemia, she actually stole proof that the French Revolution was an op performed by British intelligence and that Robespierre was actually secretly a British spy who orchestrated the whole thing to overthrow the government of France as a social experiment. Also, Robespierre is actually the ancestor of the Holmes family and that's one of the reasons why Mycroft Holmes, who functionally runs the government, didn't just burn the document in the first place. Also, Irene Adler, is an egalitarian social reformer who is using blackmail material to try and force rich assholes to do good things to try and transform Britain and got the document while trying to get dirt on the Prince of England. But that's just all prologue, Adler got this extremely incriminating document and Mycroft Holmes charges the Moriarty brother who's in the Army to recover the document and kill Adler without realizing that he is the Lord of Crime. After much skulduggery and some stuff with Sherlock the Moriarty brothers get their hands on the document, use it to negotiate a deal where they reveal themselves and their ideals and their plan for social reform to Mycroft and get his tacit support and a guarantee that the British government will overlook them being The Lords of Crime, and then stage Adler's death. At the end of the episode Irene Adler officially joins the Moriarty crime family and gives herself a new name. Bond, James Bond. Omnicrom fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Apr 19, 2021 |

Unsure what the situation of the world is in Nomad...seems like Japan owns america, or at least the american southwest? since japanese guys are the ones evicting mexican immigrants and all. or osaka is now the same as the american southwest and america is so bad that people are going over to japan now? really it just seems like the director wanted to include mexican inspired locales

FilthyImp posted:I mean you can distill it into something like "Sora crosses worlds and dimensions as a Chosen Wielder of the Keyblade and reincarnation of a Keyblade Master" but that's a really, really broad overview of the story. It helps when you realize a vast majority of each game is made up of "Sora recreates a Disney movie and it doesn't have much to do with anything."

The Disney films are mainly to present a time/place for the villains to taunt Sora and for Sora/Riku/Etc to respond back, basically to act as a stage for them to battle it out their war of ideals.

They mention coming over via boat at some point, I think North America may just be turbofucked somehow to the extent that the US is no longer really a viable place to seek refuge.
