    I'm kind of surprised that Realist Hero went to the well of
    REVOLUTION~!

    so quickly.
    I figured the Prince would take the city of Van back and the people would eventually realize how shitty he is, but it happening in the very next episode was unexpected.

    Realist hero
    The prince and king were huge idiots. Destroying infastructure and reducing available food on top of decades of their previous bullshit could only lead to rebellion
    I'm not disagreeing, I just thought
    it wouldn't come to a head until later in the season, not the very next episode. Though I guess it did have a little bit of a poke from the Princess, too.

    Yeah I think the time tables being accelerated. I assume theres a few weeks between some events in the past few episodes

    Pretty sure in the light novels you have some paragraphs open with stuff like "Several weeks later..." or "After some time goes by..."

    With the latest attack on titan episode:
    Connie being such a dumbass that the only way he can think of to get Falco in his mom's mouth is "hey, wanna brush some titan teeth by hanging from the rafters" actually got me... really chuckling.

    The desicion to redo all the Eva movies dubs for the amazon release is still so wild for me

    So many minor line changes that dont do anything

    Everyone sounding slightly worse because they are like....60

    and a continuous feeling gaslit.

    I GOTTA know what happened behind the scene to make it happen this way

    Tonight on a special AniMenagerie presentation, we watched Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo.

    Also, tonight I've launched AniMenageRead Volume 1! Get it, Read???

    Yeah we're going to do a little manga book club. The first assignment is...

    51aAm32ywvL.jpg

    Battle Angel Alita! Now a blockbuster Hollywood film by the creator of Avatar! No, the other Avatar!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFXpRV9zQWc

    No, fuck, the other adaptation!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkZsFiVQQsk

    That's the one, with the big eyes.

    Yes, the plan is to read the manga about two volumes a week, discuss it, then watch the film (and possibly the OVA) after. So, if you didn't think you'd be able to make it to live shows, but can handle reading some manga chapters every week, PM me for an invite to the Discord.

    Our plan for Chapter 2 is Billy Bat, which is apparently a manga all about how Walt Disney is evil. Also excited about that!

    To be honest, not looking enough like 2d anime might be why most 3d anime doesn't work for me all that well
    Land of the Lustrous worked well for me, and to a slightly lesser degree Dorohedoro
    Beastars also works well (unsurprising, same studio as Lustrous), though they will mix 2d animation with 3d animation when they need more exaggerated or stylised expressions, which I thought was clever; you don't really notice it unless you're paying attention.

    Eva rebuild 3 has a great first 20 minutes. Shame about that one hour of nothing in the middle and a confusing last 10 minutes.

    Eva 3 is certainly my least favorite of the series in a lot of ways. Not least which, the localization path supposedly being altered by Khara that has had knock on effects on the release/re-release of the rest of the series.

    Seeing a nude man, however, is God-approved!

    Totally fine to look at naked women AND naked men and all the naked humans in between. I mean God even said he made us in his image, and what could be more virtuous than admiring the image of God a couple hundred times a day give or take. In fact use both hands and it's basically praying. Also you know what God always says, "Come unto me," so be sure to finish to really show your devotion. And remember, God's always watching!

    I'm probably one of the few people on the forums who was paying Funimation in lieu of Crunchyroll, but so long as the latter app is fine on Xbox, I guess this is whatever. Sounds like they're kicking me a coupon to switch as well.

    I'd brace yourself, I didn't like the second season nearly as much. It loses a lot of its focus by introducing the new faces.

    Huh. Not an opinion I've seen very often. Think I enjoyed them about equally. (Which is a lot. Hello, subject of my hyperfocus for almost two years now.)
    Good news? While next season (April!) should introduce another two faces (or rather, "upgrade two background characters to supporting cast,") the main focus is back on the two main leads.

    Um, Season 2 is as good as the first, though? There's no reason to worry? It doesn't introduce that many new faces? It's fine?

    I mean, it gets more dramatic than the first at times, yes, but it's in the service of developing its characters, so it's okay?

    Funi sub was $7 a month, the worthwhile plan at Crunchyroll is $10 a month, so the hike is already here.

    You don't think they'll miss getting 17 a month tho

    Some board member is taking a fat dump right now thinking of ways to increase the price so they can buy a tiny yacht to go in the pool of their bigger yacht

    So after Funimation pulled its library sharing from Crunchyroll because Crunchyroll was being too demanding on Funi, Sony (Funi) ends up buying Crunchyroll and putting them back together.

    Convenient, but media consolidation remains a worrying thing.

    The Crunchyroll app ekes out ahead of the Funimation app in usability though.

    I don't mind the drama at all, season 1 gets very dramatic. I just find the added student council stuff to be boring.

    Funimation had secured the streaming rights to most of the higher quality series between them and had more paywalled content too so if you were paying for either it made more sense to pay funi imo

    I assume "crunchyroll being too demanding" was "crunchyroll was asking for too much money for a buyout so we made our own streaming site to take all of the higher quality new content away so their business would suffer and they would sell to us lower"

    CR and Funi were competitors for years before the brief period where both sites shared content. Then the rift happened, then Funi was bought by Sony, and now it's all consolidating.
