    y'all gotta stop reading manga starring men/written by men/acknowledged by men

    Urusei Yatsura, written by the queen of manga, has a ton of problematic stuff, and I'm curious how the remake will handle it.

    Having just recently watched if for the first time, hopefully with people talking at room volume a little more

    More than anything it was like already a "taking this too far" trashy domestic drama sorta series, and then it got successful and they were like "IT CAN NEVER END" and now the mangaka's just sniffin' glue for plot ideas to keep this thing going another few months.

    It really feels like the editor said "no you are keeping this fucker going until we get that season 2 announcment"

    Finished my back to back watch of S3 and 4 of Aggretsuko

    S3 was rough, I didn't like a certain plotline but it was good despite that

    S4 was a lot better and actually feels like an ending to the series, if that's what they're going for? Edit should have waited for the credits to finish lmao, S5 already confirmed

    Also I never watched that Xmas special

    I started reading the first Vampire Hunter D novel the other day, and it's real fun. Very... dumb, but I enjoy it in the same way I enjoy the Conan stories - this is a dude who is real fucking hot, and real fucking good at killing, and every lady that sees him wants him, and he's always gonna get out of scrapes because he's fucking Vampire Hunter D!

    It's a weird pulpy mishmash of nonsense and post-post apocalyptic absurdity, but really enjoyable. I could do without the lurid descriptions of women's bodies (especially when they take every chance to mention AND SHE'S ONLY SEVENTEEN) but unfortunately that's just a thing I've come to expect of books like this.

    Also, I didn't realize that 1) it's a series of novels originally (given how I heard about it years ago I assumed it was an anime or longrunning manga), 2) there have been only two movies, the last of which was made 20 years ago, and 3) there's 29 of these novels?!?

    Anyway, I'm certainly interested in watching the movies now. I hear that if nothing else they're very well-animated.

    The movies are worth a watch, certainly. The second one is at least visually gorgeous

    I think current plan has Season 4 starting on the 31st with this lineup:

    Schedule_Example_6.png?width=757&height=456

    6 episodes a night, two from each row. Roughly 9pm-12am EST (6pm-9pm PST).

    The rest of this month until then will be finishing the Baccano oavs and Bakarina S2, with some random anime movies or specials to pad it out.

    I think those are all really great runs to drop in on.

    While I suggested just the actual tournament in the middle of Kill la Kill, we're watching all of it because everyone else that had seen it agreed it was worth it.

    I'm excited about Sailor Moon S, which I never saw on TV originally. We're currently trying to decide whether we go with the cousin dub or not. Some people have very strong opinions.

    And Animenagerie has featured like five Trigger shows by this point, so Luluco was the obvious way to go.

    I can't really think of a big genre we're missing (across the 4 seasons so far). Also has to be something that 5+ people can mostly agree on.

    There's also the new 'no giant robots or genre deconstruction' rule...

    Sometimes I wonder if I should pick My Hero Academia back up.

    I stopped watching at the end of Season 2 because that's all there was at the time.

    I remember enjoying it.

    But not enough to care when season 3 and beyond came out.

    No one actually wants to watch the cousin dub, it's offensively bad and ruins a great show.

    the cousin dub is fun in a shit way but it's not the right way to experience sailor moon. i suggest either watching both back to back weekly for comparison or running a late night pirate radio stream of the dic/cloverway dub in addition, for the real perverts

    I'm watching season 2 of Dragon Maid

    It's really fucking good, I love it.

    I kinda hate that one elephant in the room character design, 100%, and a couple of the other... uncomfortable bits are still here... but it's just so fuckin wholesome and thoughtful and sweet.

    I doubt they'd have the time for both, but the late night version of the dub after watching the original is a hilarious idea, and I'd be all for that.

    talking about that dub led me to find this, which is a truly incredible piece of previously-lost media. you have no idea how happy i am; this soundtrack is etched on my soul, and having clean, hd versions of everything, including new unused stuff, is. a miracle. like, hearing a perfect version of the tuxedo mask theme brings me to tears? i am...lame, probably

    Absolutely yes. It’s very good. There’s some stinkers like any show with 200 episodes would have(super s imo) but overall it’s got an incredibly unique sense of humor that I really really love

    By the by, you might like knowing I still own the DiC album. :)

    I despise the dubs of the later seasons, but the OG, warts and all, is near and dear to me, since it was my first exposure to the show.


    And honestly, just on the sheer quality of the voices, I think it's still the best dub they've done.

    I'm glad we're on the same page. Super S actively pains me. Everything else is top shelf, though, especially Stars.


    Crystal is a hot mess. Avoid it at all costs.

    They were doomed to failure the moment they didn't use Moonlight Densetsu, though in all fairness, Stars succeeded with hype through the roof.
