    I watched Darwin's Game ep 1 and I will admit that I have been looking for something like that for a minute.

    But I was kind of rolling my eyes that the whole "yandere who is obsessed with the protagionist after their first meeting" deal.

    I already read/watched Mirai Nikki.

    That isn't what Mirai Nikki is at all tho.

    It's something much, much dumber.

    It’s almost refreshing that Darwin’s game is NOT Mirai’s Nikki, and that Yandere love interest is like “ Hey I want THAT no strings” and the protagonist is like “....yeah okay!” and that’s that.

    I say almost because UGH.

    But yeah, Darwin’s game is basically “ What if death game anime didn’t crawl up it’s own butt with convoluted bullshit twists.”

    It’s popcorn, and yes those kernels still suck.

    Quarantine is leading to me crushing my backlog of unwatched anime.

    Anyone familiar with GEN:Lock? A rooster teeth show on Crunchyroll. I really dig RWBY.

    So a thought hit me and Im not sure why.

    In naruto did a bad guy graft the eyes of Sasuke's clan onto his body?

    Yes, that would be Danzo.

    To be fair, Ristarte is able to do plenty if not for the fact that the hero is so far beyond her.

    Aqua is able to do plenty beyond anyone else in Kazuma's party...but just doesn't because she's an airhead.

    Darkness doesn't cause any problems unless you are Kazuma and Megumin is actually a boon on the local economy by providing a steady stream of work for day labors.

    The Gundam movie "Narrative" was up on the Gundam Info channel for a weekend and then they delisted it. I'm really curious what happened there, did it get licensed for release in that time or was their plan to do only a weekend all along? If the latter, I wish I had known to watch it right away. : (

    they put up and take down series and movies constantly on that channel on purpose I think, trying to cycle things in and out to promote buying the blu-rays or whatever

    You know I haven't watched much of the Gundams outside of Seed, a little bit of 00 and some other one I forgot.

    But I know quite a bit about the characters and general plot just from playing Super Robot Wars.

    I kind of wish they'd remake the original because I think Amuro is cool but the animation itself is a bit dated.

    The Origin is a sort of remake, though it shifts the POV character from Amuro to Char.

    The Origin is a prequel. Closest to a remake was Seed.

    the compilation movie trilogy holds up just fine imo

    the first movie is pretty much all cut from the anime but the second movie has new footage and by the time you get to the third movie it's like 70% re-animated

    My only issue with the movie route is that it slims it down a little too much.

    I didn't really attach to the characters the same way I might a full season of a show, but the older series is far too meandering for me.


    I feel the reverse about Macross 7. I'd have a far easier time recommending it (it's a great series) if it didn't drag it's feet the first twenty episodes or so.

    But cutting it into movies wouldn't give you enough time.

    There's some good parts to the Thousand Year Blood War! There's just also a lot of bad parts, and it's way too long, and also despite it all being so drawn out he still managed to make the ending feel rushed.

    I guess an anime could tidy things up a bit and make it flow better, but I don't know if that's something they'd actually do.

    I hope that Kubo learned from this and Burn the Witch doesn't introduce two dozen new characters every arc. That feels like it was a big issue - the Captains stuck around as secondary characters, so you needed to have enough Arrancar for each of them to have a proper fight, so once you get to TYBW there's literally an entire alphabet of villains...

    IIRC Burn the Witch is supposed to be a short-term serialization, so it shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully.

    it felt rushed because it was rushed

    kubos biggest flaw (aside from pacing issues) is that his big bads require deus ex machinas to kill

    ywach and aizen literally beat everybody at once, which why the fuck even have the sternritter or espada???

    theres no stakes because the stakes are so absurdly high that you already know how it will conclude

    Aizen at least had a somewhat believable defeat in that his own desire made him vulnerable. His subsequent return he was much more self certain and stable.

    Ywacha though, I don't even know how he lost. Immune to everything, on the level of a god, able to pierce all defenses, and he gets done in by hypnosis?

    her arm was just broken instead of ripped off. But that may also be something else's fault for me thinking that.
