But the stuff that's bad is so so bad that I can't help but feel negatively towards the show as a whole, even if I sometimes take a look back at the greater stuff and still enjoy it
Yes, but just imagine if they had to do tests like "Okay, now we're going to rub a chicken on you" "...why" "Well, WE DONT KNOW BUT IT MIGHT DO SOMETHING"
Also, rewatching i'm 110% convinced this is taking place in like, 2200s, 2300s - the line about tech development is that if it hadnt been for quirks, people would be taking Interstellar Holidays by now.
Gimme my grim and gritty My Hero Academia: THE QUIRK EMERGENCE horror story, or something.

What, you mean like No Game No Life 0 did?
but the gag bits can be very strong, and the payoffs fuck
It's very easy for one to end up undermining the other, and when that happens you just end up feeling nothing
Combine that dissonance with some sensitive subject matter and, well, you get a Yoshiwara In Flames arc
theres a lot of gay panic and some transphobia that makes me super bummed, but that's kinda par the course for a lot of anime
lmao how did i not remember that, must have blocked it out
well i’ll recommend 99.9% of love lab

The show is still really fantastic though.

I only ever saw the anime of this, so what I mainly remember is a rushed-feeling "the anime was cancelled, you're all fired" type of ending. Do you know if the manga version went on much further than the anime?
Yeah there's nothing wrong with it, it's fiiine, but in a damning with faint praise way. It felt like a series made entirely of filler anime arcs from Naruto to me, which I guess makes sense given what Boruto is. The barest hints of a major arc might have been starting to show when I gave up.
Jeeze they're up to 150 episodes already. Where did I get up to... looks like somewhere around episode 50, when they were getting ready for chunin exams.
Anime apparently reached chapter 120 of 240 chapters, with several changes. As far as I checked people seem to regard the manga better (not just because of the anime's coverage).
Furuichi is my spirit animal in that series.
Almost no spiritual power but incredibly high spiritual compatibility. Those tissues alone put him on par with Olga in terms of pure power.
We both agree Thorkell is the best.
Also dang that show had a good soundtrack.
Dude just wants to have a laugh and some bants and a good old friendly fight to the death

Also the craziest thing about that show is that Yuka and Asano basically don't exist in the source material. Yuka had a very minor role, doesn't cross over, and is then only seen in like one flashback, and Asano is just straight up anime original.
Luckily whoever adapted the script was smart enough to realize that long, angst filled inner monologues featuring crippling self doubt are a lot harder to pull off in visual media, so they used those two characters to achieve basically the same effect.
way back in high school I would take a trip to the mall on like the release date for every new dvd and me and another of my friends would watch it.
I love how it takes that standard alternate magical world concept and instead early on basically turns it into a survival story. She gets punched in the face by peasants and bitten by dogs and nearly dies of exposure! And it's super uninterested in having some cute boy come along to sweep her off her feet and rescue her. And her character development is fantastic, and it keeps progressing too, there's never like a "ok i've got my shit 100% together now" turning point.
Also the various beasty designs are cool, especially the sound design for them.
The anime kinda-sorta is that, from what I've seen of it. The manga opens with Boruto's graduation from the academy and him forming a 3-man team, similar to Naruto. Whereas the anime opens with him getting into the academy. So these first seasons of the anime are largely new stuff that takes place before the manga starts. Presumably this was to allow the manga to get a healthy lead, while also making an anime ASAP.
As said, the show doesn't glamorize what Vikings do. But at least Thorkell is honest about what he does. He's not interested in fighting the weak.
