    Just got back from the Promare premier. Damn, that was one Trigger-ass Trigger movie. What a blast.

    Ehhh I didn’t t like promare at all. I was hoping for a big dumb action movie, but it’s actually pretty boring. Most of its runtime is just long, droll exposition about its hamfisted politics. The very few action scenes in the movie are not worth the wait. I think the very first one is the only time there’s really even a real fight?

    It occasionally breaks the fourth wall and loudly yells about how dumb the storytelling is, only to go right back to playing the world building and lore completely straight.

    No character arcs.

    The female part’s a little underwritten.

    The audience saw some stuff that reminded them of gurren Lagann and they clapped.

    Promare was ... probably one of the least engaging things I've sat through in a long time. Way too long, the action scenes aren't particularly good (save for the first one) every character is a broad archetype and the plot was nonsensical in a way that ... wasn't really funny and actually kind of annoying considering how damn long the thing is.

    Also all of the CG stuff looked like Paw Patrol toys.

    yeah the movie was only so-so but the soundtrack was pretty great (Hiroyuki Sawano did it, that makes sense then). I need to go find that rad ass music that played when lio was doing burnish shit

    I guess its this?

    Also one of the lead characters is voiced by Ferdinand's VA from Fire Emblem Three Houses and I kept losing my shit whenever he was rambling about his firefighter's soul

    because all I kept hearing was "I am Ferdinand von Aegir"

    @Janson pointed out to me that the HxH dub has the VA for Bernadetta as Gon, which is... weird. Also the VA for Chrom is Leorio.

    So I saw a spoiler thread for upcoming One Piece.

    Very generic spoilers:
    We're having another intermission with reverie stuff.

    Peoples' heads are going to be exploding.

    How can you endure it? I noped out halfway through the recover Mitsuki arc. Everything seems like filler quality stuff.

    Speaking of one piece

    I keep seeing fans abbreviate Conqueror's Haki/Color of Conqueror's to CoC

    So folks will talk about Shank's powerful CoC or how we'll definitely see Zoro use CoC in wano

    I can't stop laughing and apparently I'm 11

    I read CoC with a much different, but no less crude, meaning

    In my brain it was Snake saying CoC like CQC.

    But now it’s Snake saying “Cock?” so thanks for that.

    What's wrong with the reverie? It was only six chapters last time.

    As a watcher, Reverie was the most interesting part of the whole Big Cake arc.

    This post is from a few weeks ago, but I just started reading this manga a few days ago and just got to this scene and was like "Hey, I've seen that somewhere before."

    It's been an enjoyable read so far, but writing Raino out of the series was bullshit. Also I think the author forgot about the class rep character a long time ago (unless she returns in later chapters).

    I really like Sound Only on theringer.com if anyone is looking for more EVA commentary. I feel like it's more in line with how I came away feeling about the show, while saying it better than I could, than the sort of frustration and anger described in the Waypoint watch.

    Hmmm, watching the final 6 episodes of Evangelion for the first time, right before bedtime, wasn't a good idea. Just wrap up the cool weird robot show before sleeping, I thought.

    Rokudou no Onna-tachi is vastly less creepy than it could have been.
