I always found the rebuild movies incoherent and kinda pointless. Not stoked for the final installment. I'd have to rewatch all the other ones first.

I say this as a big EVA nerd.

Watch DBZ Kai. It's significantly shorter than the original series and better paced. Though you miss some key filler like when goku and piccolo learn to drive or when goku goes to DBZ hell, the home for infinite losers.

YUGIOH is exactly as you imagine it and its also great.

I've started Hunter X Hunter. Thats supposed to be good.

I thought invincible was pretty good, I forgive the shonky animation just because it looks like a DBZ movie in the last episode. I think the narrative is fine, Marks a likeable idiot boy. OmniMan is clearly a massive piece of poo poo and a veritable avatar of toxic masculinity. I'll watch season 2 and hope that they clean up the directing a bit.

Vampires as sexual beings has been around since Bram Stoker made Dracula about how those heathen Eastern Europeans with their raw animal magnetism will seduce our chaste innocent white women, and Vampires as being tormented supermodels who love to have tragic gay sex has been around since Anne Rice. But what I want to know is, since Vampire are undead and have no heartbeat or bloodflow, how are they getting boners and having all this sex?

hate to break it to you but the novel dracula is also about gay sex. Vampires are gay.


I really enjoyed the last(?) season of castlevania, the wonky story telling aside it was a lot of fun. Malcolm Mcdowell was a delight.

it attracted an older audience by appearing more mature than it actually is, and managed to capture the same kid audience that wanted the new cool thing. and it was like a perfect hype cycle, with the first season, the end of the manga, and the movie all coming out within a year.

it's pretty good and consistently so throughout so that helps too. I was a little surprised when it became that big a phenom but I think in the end it makes a lot of sense.

I think its key selling point is competence and consistency which is kinda rare in the industry at large. It kinda felt like it came out of nowhere. Add the excellent animation and adaption work ufotable have done and it was a hit for good reasons. I think people find an earnest good hearted main character refreshing at this point. The last anime I remember being talked about similarly was Attack on Titan and I'm glad that a show that has an unambiguous good guy at the heart of it is getting similar attention.

is evangelion actually good or is it just a meme thing?

It rules. Anno started off making a kind of revisionist mecha show and it got way out of hand its great really. I think each ending has its own substance to it but gently caress if End of Evangelion doesn't have one of the best battles in any anime ever.


Edit: I think the rebuilds are loving nutso and not worth your time.

The rebuilds are worth your time for just how nutso* they are. Also they have great animation. And it’s the same continuity. They aren’t remakes.

I'm going to rewatch them whenever the last one rears its head - but I remember the pacing being confounding.

RE: Oddtaxi ending I still don't know how I feel about it - the visual style didn't require a story explanation to my mind, the last scene is good I think? I was not aware that there is an audio only show on youtube as a companion piece. I guess whether its just a one off oddity or if it becomes an on going series is the rub. The manga only came out in january of this year, which leads me to believe that there will be more oddtaxi I guess?

The guy who did that gambling manga, Kakegurui, started another manga series. It's a fantasy series about a guy who sets out to kill a group of warriors who reincarnated into the fantasy world from other worlds and have extremely overpowered abilities. It was cancelled after literally one issue because some readers noticed similarities between the evil warriors and characters from other popular manga.
