  • Binbougami Ga was a fucking trip.
    I don't know how to handle a show that tackles such serious questions in a way that's often so frivolous.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    It's barely Gatchaman though. But hey if it's good, it's good.

    My counterpoint.
  • last night in my dream i was watching a really cool anime
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    This week's episode of Jojo:

  • Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    have any of the musicians featured in Jojos learned about their counterparts?
  • I am watching Riddle Story of Devil

    It is about 12 schoolgirl assassins who are given the task of killing their bright, upbeat not-assassin classmate in order to gain their greatest desire. one of the assassins falls in lesbians with the girl and swears to defend her

    from the description you'd think that it's a busy, campy murderfest thing, and it does start out that way before settling into being a quiet psychological drama with maybe a dash of intrigue. there's a lot of focus on the relationships between characters and their inner conflicts and all that good stuff. things are nicely paced and the characters are all distinct and most of them are fun, though a few of them are flat.

    Also it leans on Utena some, what with the whole "lesbian fights classmates to defend the person she cares about who is hiding something" and also little visual flourishes here and there

    so fun show
  • kill living beings
    i've read a bunch of doujin by the artist of the manga. w e i r d
  • man there is a swimsuit episode i hate these things

    (*sigh*)
  • Gahahaha, I'm up to Fate/Zero episode 5. 

    The speech Rider gives to Lancer's Master was really badass. I like how the implication is that Rider sees something in Velvet that isn't readily apparent.
  • oh it is a swimsuit episode with bombs

    that is a bit better?

    maybe?
  • also one of the assassins has two dads

    fate/zero rider is the best servant in the entire fate franchise
  • anyone here seen Ninja Slayer?

    I assume someone's subbed it by this point.

    nyaa should have the viewster subs, which are the correct subs to use for that show

    (i haven't watched it, but i've seen the subs)
  • so, Ninja Slayer.

    Half of it is MS Paint drawings, hilarity, and YEART

    the other half is rather well-animated, interesting, and compelling in a "serious" sense.

    recommended for fans of 12 Oz. Mouse and FLCL.

    so fun show
    update it was pretty eeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh
  • I have ended up watching some Blood Blockade Battlefront

    after watching a bunch of eeeehhhhhh shows in a row i think I have stumbled across something really nice
  • also this strikes me as something TNS might like for whatever reason
  • I'll do that at some point
  • We can do anything if we do it together.

    Do tell.
  • Im having a hard time pinning down why exactly I think you'd like it

    I think it's because the action/humor balance reminds me of what I saw of cowboy bebop, and also there's the odd old jazz number in the soundtrack and i associate old jazz w/ you

    and it's really gorgeous:

    (*these are not the best bits mind these are just what i found when i took 5 seconds to google things*)

    other selling points:

    * the third episode mostly features one of the deuteragonist characters playing a very intense game of alien chess

    * characters have names like Zapp Renfro, Leonardo Watch and Blitz T. Abrams

    * it all takes place in a future new york that was fused with an alternate reality new york in some kinda weird incident thing and it's a really cool and memorable setting, especially when they get to the really weird parts that dont act like reality should

    * also in addition to having cool names the characters are fun
  • or did you want me to talk about the plot?

    Nah, I'd rather to go into the plot blind. Everything you posted about the show has seriously piqued my curiosity, so I'll give it a try when I have some free time.

    Thanks.

    i still don't watch this show but

  • I think PUNCH LINE might be like, a classic in the making?

    I really have no idea where to begin describing why I think that because the show is so bizarre, but I should say that the jaunty, comedic theme tune is increasingly inappropriate.

    Final thoughts on Evangelion:

    The series itself had some interesting touches and some relatable moments, but didn’t add up to an understandable whole to me.

    End of Evangelion, however, is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

    I don't really get how Urobuchi is some weird, character-killing monster on the same level as GRRM. I mean, if you ask me, Gankutsuou was more fucked up than anything in Fate/Zero, although the latter probably had a bigger body count (if you count Caster's/Ryuunosuke's murders).
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    He really isn't.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Joss Whedon, Urobuchi, and GRRM are not actual monsters who hate your joy and happiness.


    That's Taro Yoko.

    Yeah. I mean, the message of Fate/Zero is that the mindsets of nineties anti-heroes (even sympathetic ones like Kiritsugu) are unsustainable in the long run.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Who, I may remind you, are all dudes.

    Take that Tumblr.

    I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about now.

    Urobuchi thinks women, and only women, should suffer from their hubris-Tumblr
  • Ooookay, that's a new one to me. 

    Like, there were more dudes than chicks who got killed in Fate/Zero. And Madoka has only girls die in it because most of the characters are girls.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Solas-Ui died really badly though. And Illya and Maiya were basically accepting of their need to be tools to be used.

    Maybe they didn't quite have hubris, but they probably suffered more.
  • Nah. El-Melloi probably had it worse than Sola-Ui - guy was reduced from a powerful magus to a Viserys-esque figure who could only swear and curse at the only person who would still obey him.

    Maiya I agree with, though.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    I feel more sympathy for Sola-Ui though.
  • When your only frame of reference is El-Melloi... :/

    image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.

    Barely.

    Male deaths: Kayneth, Tokiomi, Kariya, Risei, Ryuunosuke, Norikata.
    Female deaths: Sola-Ui, Shirley, Maiya, Natalia, Irie.

    (And if we go by what happened to Kayneth prior to his death, we also have to take Aoi into consideration. Also you can't realistically use "Oh, more guys died!" as a metric in the first place for a variety of reasons.)

    You forgot Rider, Caster, Berserker and Lancer, though.

    Who in Fate/Zero survives that isn't in Fate/Stay Night, other than Waver?
