        @BloodAngel People had to yell ‘HEY TEZ IT’S UTENA WITH ROBOTS’ at me a few times before I finally gave in, but.

        IT’S UTENA WITH ROBOTS.

        And trauma.

        Every time there’s an utena reference in anything, ever, it just gets me RIGHT IN THE HEART.

        she/they

            Yes. They’re adorable.

            Omagerd, she is adorable.

            But Chuatury “Chuchu” Panlunch (aka Punchy McPuncherson) is awesome. That right hook!

                      Now I need season 2, that was some of the best anime I have seen in a very long time! Thank you everyone for pushing me into finally watching it!

                        Watched Witch from Mercury. Thanks to whoever in this thread mentioned it first, because holy shit was that good. It’s like, okay, we’re starting with something that seems as complex and nuanced as The Expanse, and then we’re going to have a bunch of episodes with the cutest shit you can imagine happening between giant robots punching each other, and then the last two episodes will be more shocking and tightly paced than the best episode of Game of Thrones and the last scene will have your jaw on the floor.

                        I also finally finished Summer Time Rendering, which was a fantastic mystery show. I’ve seen people say that it’s perfect, and while I wouldn’t quite agree with that, it comes pretty close. If nothing else go into it blind and watch the first episode. If that ending doesn’t hook you, I donno what will.

                        The show that was meant to air here as Heavenly Delusion, but which Disney still has listed as Tengoku Daimakyo, started on Saturday. I can see why some people have considered it one of the most anticipated new shows. It’s a neat little post-apocalyptic mystery and I look forward to seeing how the two stories we’re seeing so far come together. It’s also gorgeous, with fantastic backgrounds and animation. I like that none of the characters are particularly cute, too.

                        I binged Tomo-chan Is A Girl!! yesterday, just because I was home alone and needed some background noise and the whole series was dubbed and I’m burnt out on My Hero Academia. It was really cute. Tomo is crushing on her childhood best friend, but she’s tall and tough and he thinks of her as one of the guys. Cue romantic comedy hijinx. The side characters, especially agent of chaos Carol, make this one. Absolutely wild that Jad Saxton voices both deadpan and manipulative Misuzu in this, while also voicing the chaotic Chika Fujiwara in Love is War.

                        I also did the one-two punch of I Want To Eat Your Pancreas and A Silent Voice. Both are 10/10s, but I found them more uplifting than crushingly depressing. Did they get tears? Oh, plenty. But neither wrecked me fully. Not like every other fucking episode of To Your Eternity, for instance.

                        Apparently becoming an anime guy is part of my midlife crisis, since I was an anime guy as a kid and then just completely dropped it like twenty years ago and now I’m watching more of it than ever. There’s just so damn much.

                        love that perfect frown

                          That’s a great list! This may be the most basic recommendation of all time given it was wildly popular when it released, but you may dig Your Name based on that list of shows.

                          There are far more costly vices, and there are a great many worthwhile stories to be found in this medium. (Though many are saddled with some degree of Anime Bullshit.)

                            Your Name is a 10/10 for me. I’ve sinced devoured all of Shinkai and am eagerly awaiting Suzume, even tho none of the IMAXes around here have it at a time that is at all convenient for me.

                            Oh, I should also add Cyberpunk Edgerunners. I figured I’d give it another try after giving up on it pretty quickly before. The story is pretty good, not great, but good. And I still found the animation pretty lacking. Lots of static, empty backgrounds or repeated angles with minimal movement in them used over and over. Killer soundtrack, tho. It shouldn’t have been 2022 Anime of the Year. It wasn’t better than Spy x Family, Ranking of Kings or the surprising Lycoris Recoil. (Which makes for a good combo with Witch from Mercury if you like to taut action paired with girls who are definitely going to be in love eventually.) And to be entirely honest, they really dropped the ball since the best anime of 2022, and perhaps all time?!, Akiba Maid War, didn’t even make the dang list.

                            love that perfect frown

                                  I saw that and it made me watch EP 1. I love the concept. But I’m debating if it will be worth watching still.

                                  Otaku are now illegal! OH NO!

                                    I found it to be something of a fever dream - like they made a pilot for a show and then just decided ‘eh, sure, this can be episode 1’.

                                    Levels of disjointed that I have not seen since FLCL (No shade on FLCL, but it’s trippy.) Plenty of great cuts of animation, which… I mean, also very FLCL.

                                    Not sold on it.

                                          The spouse and I are binging Attack on Titan. I stg if Eren doesn’t grow up and stop being so whiny I am going to throw him out of a window!

                                          I just finished rewatching all the way through to the first part of the finale. Man, what a show. Buckle up!!

                                          Eren finally grew up and Armin finally got rid of his awful hair cut!

                                          I feel bad for DaddyMikasa. Her love for Eren can only come to misery and pain. Also, if I weren’t already married I’d want to marry Levi.

                                            Saw Suzume. Absolutely destroyed me. I took my nine year old and she climbed into my lap to try and comfort me.

                                            It may not be as good as Your Name, the way it hit me was in a way that was very personal to me and likely won’t be experienced by the majority of people, but Suzume will stick with me forever…
