Thanks. I also think Fire Force is just really starting to lose me. I'm way tuned out.

While watching the subs, I felt the opposite. I actually feel like fire force improves as soon as they get to this arc, and everything following it.

If I ever got an ear pierced I think I'd wear something like this lady's eyeball earring

Fun fact, Rika's mom is voiced in the Japanese version by Mayumi Shintani, who was also the VA for Midori in Luluco, another Trigger show. The eyeball is a direct reference to Midori.

I'm gonna be honest, I was pretty blah on Fire Force season 1 but season 2 is some pretty fun poo poo

Yeah, this was my same reaction as I watched them both subbed, s2 is just more engaging, especially once the cast goes to China.

Infact yes. I.M. Gei, you're posting like a blood thirsty madman and spoilering poo poo for the other posters. Given that I don't think you can control yourself, I'm telling you right now, don't post in here about Attack on Titan again.

but like- how the gently caress does Gridman fit into this hosed-up theology? Is he supposed to be a manifestation of the concept of free will? Who the gently caress is Lazengann supposed to be and why is he enabling God's temper tantrums? Why is there a random garbage child existing outside of the status quo? Who is cleaning this poo poo up in between episodes? Is everybody a tomato, or only some bodies? The numbers, Mason; what do they MEAN?!?!?!?

All of this stuff will be answered by the end of the show. But yeah this part is only implied, not outright stated:

I mean, if you can control yourself I don't mind, but I'll be honest in that I don't think you can, and I need to emphasize that you really were dragging down the experience for the rest of the posters in this thread, making them both really uncomfortable with how vicious your commentary was getting, and spoilering them.

Love that Anti's idea for a kaiju is a floating needle.

So yeah, Akane's whole thing is she's imitating Kaiju shows, whereas Anti is just thinking "What's the most efficient way to kill Gridman?"

It's an anime/manga trope. Don't overthink it.

Is Dynazenon a continuation or a self-contained series?

Right now it's more of a spiritual successor, bit I could see it being recontexualized into a full on sequel if the writers choose to go in that direction. There are a lot of callbacks and visual parallels to ssss.gridman that make me think that it'll have some meaningful connections.

Yasahime is a pretty terrible sequel. Even if you were a fan of inuyasha, it has a lot of issues as a followup and stand-alone series.

Why are they recapping so much? Its not like they have to stretch for content, there's a ton of manga to be adapted.

Sometimes in order to pace certain scenes out or the arcs that are covered by a chunk of episodes, you have to stall for time.

I mean, 12 makes more sense, that's a single cour.

12 or 13 eps seems the most common nowadays, but plenty of shows get slightly more or less. They're all still considered "one cour" though.

Also Fena seems to be listed as 12 eps on MAL.

I really really want to watch and livepost about Batman Ninja with y'all, but I spent all of last night driving 5+ hours to go to a lovely football game and didn't sleep a single wink after I got there (at 1:30 AM) so I spent all day today barely awake and dazed like a zombie and then the game that I paid like $100 fuckin bucks to go to sucked so bad that I left before halftime to run a bunch of errands all over town instead before driving another 5+ hours back home so I'm hella sleepy and may not make it past Fena

Completely understandable. Do whatever makes you feel the best in this situation.

I wanna talk about parts of it but I don't know what spoiler rules apply to Fire Force.

We can't breathe even the faintest word about AoT without getting slammed with probes, but I wonder if the rules may be a bit more lax for FF.

Just spoiler tags anything past where the second season ends. It's that simple

Are you telling me that Fox is owned by Disney?

In any case, who it was originally created for doesn't matter right now. I'm talking about who has the rights to air it on TV and who had those rights between the time Adult Swim gave them up a few years ago and right now.

Disney bought 20th century Fox and dropped Fox from the title, so its now just 20th century. Disney did not buy Fox News however.
