You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
it isnt bad persay, but it definitely operating on the expectation that you wanna schtup the kid
See I know a lot of people are bothered by that kinda thing but I tend to be immune to it because I just end up imagining myself as the kid
This is reminding me that I think you would really like Shinobu from the -monogatari series, particularly from Nisemonogatari on where she actually does things and totally wrecks people's shit.

Saber Marionette J to X is some sort of sci-fi anime which, if this picture is to be believed, is the second best anime of all time (the first best is Cat Planet Cuties)
Quite a lot. I thought it was very interesting and a neat case study on how you don't need a strong (or even clear) narrative through-line to make a work compelling.
SAC on adult swim was one of the first non-pokemon animes i saw (bits of). I think my reaction was "this is pretty violent" and "what is she wearing, i gotta change the channel before my parents walk in"
I saw a few minutes of one of the quiet moments in Cowboy Bebop and was like, "This is way too deep into a story I don't know to follow, and I think way too genuinely adult for me to understand right now, but this is probably actually pretty cool."

I vaguely remember having exactly the same reaction, or at least a similar enough one, as a kid to similar exposure to it.

yeah you really need a lot of backstory to understand mushroom samba
^ It involved Faye and Spike and it was clear to me that these people had a dynamic I was not getting the full picture on from the last few minutes of some random episode.
The second episode of Plastic Memories starts with a certain character showing up, one who is the obnoxious kind that doesn't do stuff right but cheats and then smugly smooth-talks their way out of it.
Also the OP is...a little tonally schizophrenic. Is it in C minor/Eb major or F minor?
So apparently these robots have free will, a human's level of intelligence and even empathy, need exercise to stay in shape, and even need to use the bathroom. (Or maybe not...?)

Aria the Scarlet Ammo was about a boy who becomes a combat master (albeit an obnoxiously condescending one) when he gets aroused, and that was...one of the worst premise ideas I've ever heard.
Aria the Scarlet Ammo AA, however, seems to feature Aria the upperclassman (upperclassgirl?), who's basically one of the school's best, and a wannabe apprentice who's apparently very very much an Aria fangirl even though she generally sucks at everything (with some key exceptions though).
I guess they decided to just cut out the guy main character and simply make it about cute girls doing stylish combat. That's an improvement over the previous arrangement, at least.
Also the OP is...a little tonally schizophrenic. Is it in C minor/Eb major or F minor?
I mean, a lot of songs are modal or slightly chromatic; and F minor and C minor share all but one note, so it kind of... doesn't matter?
It's using chords in an odd way that ends up feeling like it jumps between the two unexpectedly, and so resolutions and typical chord motion get interrupted rather frequently.
I'm not saying this is a bad thing, though. I just haven't figured out its logic yet.
Update re the tonality thing on the Plastic Memories OP:
Might have to do with a feeling of being on the border between two different states.
And it's fitting in a way because the story IS about a metaphor for passing away, and the way thinking about it affects oneself and the others around oneself.
the whitewashing was bad. renaming the character was confusing. but this... this. i don't even know what to say about this

Really late to the punch, but: There are approximately 37.2 trillion cells that fill my body. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those trillions of cells it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for the person who composed this at this micro-instant. Hate. Hate.
All comedic exaggeration and Harlan Ellison references aside, that trailer was what I feared was going to happen to the GITS live-action movie, which is to say the visuals of the movies were lovingly re-created, but none of the brains of the animated movies that made them so endearing to me are there and we're left with a very pretty, but very vapid action movie, which isn't what makes GITS so endearing to me. And all the reviews I've read have agreed with my first impressions. And dubstepifying the theme from the GITS movie is just gauche, IMHO.
Anyway, Production IG announced a new Ghost in The Shell project and it's gonna be co-directed by the guy who directed Stand Alone Complex.

also standard well-known stuff like Lucky Star and K-On!
i'm usually not much into this genre
though i CAN rec a couple rather entertaining deadpan x crazy people series - Haruhi Suzumiya and (to a lesser extent) Rocket Girls
i've also seen Leviathan: the Last Defense but that's more derpy-cute than moë
cutesy/moë but drama: uta~kata
Atelier Escha & Logy
it's cute.
apparently the perfect character design existed and nobody told me??? what the hell guys

Space Dandy, though, is having my cake and eating it.

I really should watch Space Dandy someday, though.

I've only watched the first two episodes though but like.
It's not good.
Like it's not like removing the male protagonist somehow changes the fact that all the characters are terribly written less-than-one-note characters.

regardless

the ultimate spoiling
