    I have no idea where Flowers of Evil is headed, but it's fascinating(and I love the realistic presentation).

    Does the show end satisfactorily, or will it basically have a big "now go read the manga" neon sign?

    It ends with some "there's some real shit coming up next season!" vibes but it's also a solid ending for the story arc. I have not checked out the manga so I can't give a fully-informed opinion but it certainly isn't the sort of "just ended in the middle of the fucking story with no resolution at all" non-ending that some adaptations of continuing works receive.

    Yeah, I watched Escaflowne's first 8? 9? episodes on Canadian Fox Kids, then from, like, episode 16 (???) to the end on YTV, and it was pretty all right! Raised some interesting questions for young me to chew on. Loved the voices. Prefer them to the new dub, actually.

    Yeah, Escaflowne is pretty good. I remember back from my teenage days.

    Also, started Ascendance of a Bookworm on a lark and am now reading the light novel. This is a very fun read.

    The one where he kills all the dragonslayers and can see them while they're invisible. The music and the enemy reactions always give me chills. I especially love the short sequence where they show him just fighting nothing and he swings and things die. Absolute monster.

    Och, that's a good'un, yessir, indeed.

    The music in that scene really elevates it, too.

    ETA: Hey, why can't I view that scene unedited on youtube? What gives? No, wait, this is probably Funimation's and the copyright violation detection algorithm's fault...

    I do wonder also how much this is a response to the rise of ad-blockers? Seems stupid either way - I'd love to see the data, but my gut instinct is having free week behind with ads was great for converting people into actual subscriptions.

    Hilariously, the Funimation app gets totally ad-blocked by my Pi-Hole, I haven't seen an ad since the first time I booted up the app.

    I would go scorched earth on Nakamura for what she did in episode 5.

    Oh, and there's a movie too:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smm_A9Tq6iM

    Looks born for the role.


    Of all things, this show reminds me a lot of Serial Experiments Lain.

    The quiet ambience, lack of music, focus on background shots to build tension, etc.

    On Symphogear, Maria went from having no powers to getting like 3 power-ups in a single episode.

    Akibaranger was here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff.

    Thunderbolt Fantasy had a Necromancer dancing on a boat while her undead minions murdered everyone on the shore. Also a boss joined the party and didn't seem to lose too many levels in the process.

    Well, there are number of things that only work on Luffy when it's funny...
    Gear Third doesn't actually make any sense if you think too hard about it. ...or didn't, because this makes it make perfect sense. It's literally a move straight out of cartoons.

    Gear Second causing Luffy to heat up is retroactively more appropriate.

    On the other hand this does raise some questions about the Enel fight. Although "it's funny" makes that work too I guess.

    Could y'all provide a little more context for those interested

    I got like another 800 episodes of the death march before I get there

    The context is that’s it’s a massive spoiler don’t click

    I'm the most spoiler-positive person possible, i don't lose any enjoyment knowing things ahead of release abd even like reading ahead plot details if i like a story, but uh this time I'd advocate caution because its a spoiler that really kind does recontextualize almost the entire story and you should probably be current with the story at least for it to even land correctly.

    it's extra fun cause Luffy does so much random bullshit that he thinks awesome in the moment it makes so much sense

    Arlongs teeth, launching his crew recklessly, thanking mr.3 for the hammer water Luffy and many more it's gosh darn hilarious

    It's a thing, somehow. The CW app does it, Hulu does it, most apps probably do it.
