I tried to watch it again, from older eyes; I couldn't make it more than a couple episodes. I might give it a more earnest try; but there was a ton of whinging sooo..

I remember watching it for the first time over a decade ago, and couldn't stand Shinji. I still can't, but the rest of the show still is very good.

Perhaps at some point, every father is suppose to educate their male offspring on how to obtain females.

Yet, with the advent of Anim00 and Vidya, it may be the case that several generations of fathers have themselves skipped such lessons..

So, segments of society end up with dees'kiz only specced wit Mad-dota-skillz (Shinji)

I just want to celebrate that we are way into (what is hopefully the first season of) A Certain Scientific Accelerator.
It is a ~~seque~~ spin-off to the A Certain Magical Index ~~and A Certain Scientific Railgun~~ series.

<removed>

This tune was apparently #1 on the charts in Japan for a while.
I didn't know anime music was this big...

it's not really a sequel more of a spin-off for people who like accelerator (me)

no wonder I was having trouble finding this thread, last post was in Oct

anyway, just watched One Punch S2 and boy what a let down after such a long hiatus. I was expecting the writers to be cooking up some phenomenal anime-trope breaking plot, but instead they took one of the few animes parodying animes and made it just like every other anime. What a ****ing let down, and how completely boring.

I guess I expected too much out of a series that hinged on the mc being a mcguffin, but they could have at least TRIED to make the 2nd season interesting or different than every other "superheroes live amongst us" anime out there. I don't even care about the conclusion of this ****ty hero killer plot.

One Punch, you're just another basic ***** now

I felt the same way about Mob Psycho 100.

I really wanted to love it's second season, but even though it was unique, I just didn't get into it like the first.

I really liked how both were as you were saying, poking at the genres in very effective ways, but they've seem to have settled.

Didn't really like mob 100 all that much, even S1, but then it just got kinda lame in S2

But overall, the problem is that it's probably meant for younger people, and Tp4 is just old.

Evangelion Bluray looks really gud'

Original series made using Optical, so there's alot of Film Grain. Does wonders for gradients and soft details.

Very Grain, Much Analog

Overall, mechas are not as tied to the story as other anime genres.

Mecha fans only need enough plot to Tie all the mecha tech and upgrade paths together.

None of the other stuff really matters as long as the Mechas look Kewl..

Oof, You're trying to make me rewatch stuff. I'll say... It has Berserk vibes for me personally, in that, I like Berzerk for similar reasons as this show. Dark Ages, Vikings..Great story. It's quite gory. I'm surprised it was on amazon prime as well.

So hm. Berserk, without demons? The action that it has is good, but it's not -hyper-stylized or the main draw of the anime; but more represented as if these characters were larger than life and someone was telling a story about the characters.. "And then! He picked up a stick as big as a tree! And hurled it at his enemies!". Exaggerated, but based in reality I would describe it.

Even if you didn't like it; it would be interesting to hear a perspective counter to everyone else's so far.

RIN: Daughters of Mnemosyne was pretty gory,in addition to a pretty f'ed up story.

9999hp · « **Reply #1765 on:** Mon, 10 February 2020, 15:40:36 »

Off the top of my head, nothing really jumps out with guts and viscera like that. I know I've watched some gratuitous stuff, I just have bad memory. Cartoon guts and gore, is still gore but there is that barrier there.

This clip from Blood C is pretty brutal.

Shock horror wise, the most uncomfortable movie I've watched is most likely "A Serbian Film"; However I don't remember if it's truly that gory, but just extremely uncomfortable to watch. If you haven't seen the film, I would absolutely not watch it.

I only mentioned the gore about Vinland, as a friend of mine who I recommended it to is not a fan of gore at all, so I had to preface his watch with that warning.

Dang, checking out some of these top goriest anime lists, I actually haven't seen quite a few of them and now I have a new quest. This video has some nutty ones too:

Finally finished the Otaku recommended watch order for Evangelion, 1-20, 21'-24' Director's cut, 25'-26' (End of Evangelion)

Younger Tp4 didn't understand the anime at all.

Older Tp4 has more life-xp to project in terms of interpretations. But overall, it's not very clear if the author (Yoshiyuki Sadamoto) really had a profound sub-plot. If he did, it was not cohesively formed, a few scattered ideas based on the dangers of the nuclear triad as perceived in the early era. Of course Today, we know that the triad is not philosophical, it is merely a skyscraper built without toilets. <hahahahahah>

Looking at the -discussions- by the work's fan, Tp4 isn't high/mighty, but these fans are almost certainly only superficially intelligent and short on books..

Zomg, Batman Beyond came out on the Bluray.

It looks so gud. Apparently only 41 of 52 episodes had undamaged film for rescanning, the other 11 damaged episodes were upscaled from Digibeta.

Nonetheless, Glad all of season 1 is intact. There's some light degrain-algorithm used, but it's light, not destructively imposed.

Screenshots below are 4K uprezed, Zoom in to chk out dat grain detail.

What didn't you like about it? I found the kid aspect a bit uninteresting; but I guess it added to shock value during its moments as well as naivete.

Pacing. it gets to a point as an anime fan that we've seen all the tropes, and when they do reveals at a novice-watcher's pace, it's a major drag, regardless of how well it's done.

Vs something Crass and vapid like OVerlord, at the very least, overlord delivers FAST, you know it's going to happen, but it takes less than an episode to get there.

The new Konosuba Crimson movie, Most hilarious anime movie I've seen in a while.

The 2 season Konosuba is a self-parody of the fantasy game world genre. The movie follows season 2.

Decent mindless watch before the coronavirus killz us all.

Not as gud' as Overlord, but it's a close third after the first Swordartonline

I can see that; still need to set aside time to watch Overlord. Tower of God just came out; I like the animation style; the manga was entertaining, and I'm just hoping they don't pull a OPM in s2.

Pic shows what I enjoyed enough to own/keep, but doesn't even remotely cover all of what I've seen or liked. My NAS has been at its limit for awhile, and regular shows and movies have taken the storage precedent over anime, so I'm out of the loop on anything semi-current and have had to triage a fair amount of series and movies.

I'm hoping to upgrade to larger storage in the near future and would appreciate any recommendations along the lines of what I have pictured here.

Tokyo Ghoul is a good entertainer and a must watch. Season 1 is interesting and promising, especially episode 1 which gets you hooked on to the show; season 2 however goes off track and the viewer ends up clueless. One can only hope that season 3 is satisfying.

Finally got through Mary and the Witch's Flower. AKA Weeb-Potter. Attempted to finish many times, but never managed till now.

Animation is great. HDR version makes really good use of Highlights, The excessively bright blue is really magical.

The story is a bit kiddy, but well that's all anime.. wish it had a bit more twist, but perhaps that wasn't the point.

Just started Yaiba.. eh... the art is nice, minimal banding, they've used soft blacks and added alot of dithering noise to smooth the light casts.

But the Story (so far anyway),, it's just Okish , not mindblowing like the reviews. Is it gonna be mind blowing in a few more episodes ?

I can't believe this many people recommended it.

Rewatched Shingeki No Kyojin and the new episodes of the final season. Forgot how great seasons 1-3 were, great show I really enjoyed it - This is the first anime I've rewatched!

Jujutsu Kaisen is a new one (about 12-13 episodes out atm), also great. Fun, fast paced.

I recently watched a few things like Neon Genesis, Koe no Katachi, Mononoke Hime, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, Violet Evergarden, and Vinland Saga.

Neon Genesis was great, I was pretty confused about some stuff - had to go back and rewatch certain episodes. The movie definitely cleared up a lot of things. I can see why people claim its overrated, and I can also see why people claim its a masterpiece.

Koe no Katachi was a lovely film, so was Mononoke Hime and Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi. My first experiences with Ghibli films, love the way they tell a story and animation is always eyecatching.

Violet Evergarden was interesting albeit slow. I still enjoyed it, not something I would rant and rave about however.

Vinland Saga was awesome, always loved Viking shows/Norse mythology (I guess you can tell by my forum name lol). Was very refreshing to see an anime hitting this theme up! Definitely an anime I would recommend even to someone who doesn't watch anime.

Still technically a "Space Western" in a sense. But I have fond memories of it and for them to come back w/ a movie to close it out was great. There are alot of series that I wish they would have at least made a finisher for ie: HSotD (loved the first season only to be disappointed a second wouldn't be coming).
