Banana Fish should have a siren imo

that, Cells at Work, and the Jaeger vampire thing are all I'm initially picking out for now.

How's the Muhyo & Roji manga? The synopsis sounds cool.

I read the first chapter and didn't like the dynamic between the two leads because the tone of the jokes seemed really mean-spirited so I didn't read any more of it.

It feels like a light season to me (as did last season) mostly because instead of like a dozen shows I potentially will like and want to watch there are 2-3 stand-outs and a whole bunch of stuff I have zero interest in, which tbh is probably an easier season for me to actually keep up with and not be overwhelmed so I don't mind. I suppose it's really more like a *normal* season for me since the ones where I want to watch literally all the shows are fairly rare but have been more frequent recently because it feels like the audience(s) I fall into are getting more attention lately.

The fact that ADTRW pointed it out to explicity say to avoid it amongst all the other easily avoidable shows any season, without explanation and contrast to general reviews of it, makes me curious enough to verify.

A bunch of people saying wow this is repulsive + that description is pretty self-evident imo

if a dozen people tell you "that bag is full of poo poo and it stinks, don't open it" and the bag itself has THIS IS A BAG OF poo poo printed on it, would you still need to open it and take a big whiff before you figured out it was full of poo poo?

I don't really have any issue passing judgement on a piece of media based on summaries/artwork/opinions of people I trust without having to watch it though, and I know a lot of folks are the complete opposite. It's usually less "this is a stinker" and more "this is probably not a thing I'm gonna like" but some things are clearly bad in ways that are evident with only the most passing scrutiny so I don't see why I should waste time confirming what I already am like 99% sure of.

The times that I've tried to give things the benefit of the doubt and watched or read them generally have reinforced my initial judgement, although a few notable ones have surprised me by being bad in different and worse ways than I expected lol

we have had this conversation before and I don't particularly care for how you insist everyone will like things just because you do. I read roughly 10 chapters which was extremely generous and imo if it takes longer than that to get moving then i'm not going to be interested anyway.

They added in the cast of High Speed and introduced a bunch of new characters as well. If you haven't seen the High Speed movie you will probably end up lost as most of this episode is about introducing those characters.

Gonna be interesting to see if Free can handle this large of cast

good to know, I am currently only about halfway through S2 and thought that was all I needed to finish to be current for S3

I binged 1-6 of Angels of Death and it was overall pretty meh. I liked when Zack and Ray were being silly together and it really needs more of that. Floor B4 was just tedious, where the previous two were ridiculous but things moved quickly. Also the OP and ED suck.

idk if I'll binge to the end when the season is over, I'm definitely not engaged enough to follow week to week (plus I kinda looked up the game to see if the plot was really as obvious as it looked and welp that seems to be a yes)

I'm liking Sirius the Jaeger a lot. I'm 4 episodes in at the moment (about to watch 5) and it's still holding up, although I'd like to get more development on the rest of the Jaeger team now that Yuily's backstory is out.

Yeah the vampire elders and that guy's entourage were a fun change of pace. I'm enjoying the period setting as well and man the sound, like when Yuily is fighting and poo poo hits his staff, or that elevator scene.

e: I kinda feel like this show is what Kabaneri was hyped up to be but let everyone down as far as mood, action, production, etc. I'm cautiously hopefully it'll hold up through the season.

Who is this mystical 'everyone' supposed to be? :colbert:

Kabaneri was perfectly dumb-as-poo poo when it needed to be. I yelled 'Suplex the train!' and he did. I wasn't let down.

I suppose I'll pick Sirius up just because such a comparison was made.

tbh I didn't watch past the first episode but iirc the general reaction was that folks were pretty hype for it and then it didn't hold up compared to how it was expected to, from what i remember from that season's thread.

To go back to an earlier post, Yuily's arc is well-trodden territory yes but they don't really have to do anything special to make it work, just tell it well and make sure the characters are engaging and for me they're doing ok with that so far.

e: I haven't watched Banana Fish yet but from what I know about the manga (mostly plot summary & the ending) and also that it's about gay people and was written in the 80s it's tragedy all the way down so I'd kinda expect it to be a downer. That's a big reason why I haven't gotten started on it yet.

I've been deliberately not reading the manga for that one so gently caress the anime too.
