    Finally got around to watching Bakarina. She's a sweet, sweet girl who's too worried about dying to think about romance. Honestly, relatable!

    Episodes <7:
    Boy, this Geordo character sure is trying to get some "alone time" with clueless Bakarina! Gives off bad vibes... I cheer whenever Good Brother Keith interrupts his machinations.

    I got to episode 7.
    Truck-kun, you bastard! Then again, N>1 grieving friends and families vs +6-8-9+ aristocrat characters' lives made dramatically kinder might be a net gain for overall inter-worldly happiness, who knows.

    regarding the aunt in skip and loafer
    We get a few pov scenes with her where it's acknowledged more specifically that like, she's in a good place now but for a while she was closeted and deeply depressed, then out and estranged from the family, which is part of why she lives in Tokyo when the rest of the clan is off in the boonies, even though they've since reconnected.

    As far as she functions in the story to Mitsumi, she's simply her cool aunt who acts as a female role model for our girl. Which I actually really like. Mitsumi just loves her aunt wholeheartedly and it doesn't even really occur to her that anyone else wouldn't love her too.

    It's just impossible to stay mad at how ridiculous Bastard! is, when the show continues to casually throw out characters like Bon Jovina, Abigail, Eddie, and Anthrasax.


    And the OP is seriously incredible.

    I love that fashion style personally

    Also "shrugged off jacket style" is completely devoured in search results by shrugs, which are garments that are just sleeves with minimal connective torso material apparently, I thought that was something else

    I don't remember that commercial specifically, but I've definitely seen its ilk advertising the blood and gore it contained compared to Western children's cartoons.

    the people trying to market anime here in the 90s didn't know what the fuck they were doing honestly, that style of ad was never ever cool. The first time someone figured out how to market anime in a cool way was probably cartoon network/williams street with their toonami and adult swim programming blocks. It's testament to the inherent entertainment value of the product that anime took off over here in spite of being advertised like schlocky B movies from a decade earlier.

    One of these days I need to find the Evangelion ad that was on one of my Godzilla tapes, it was the grand total of what I knew about that show for a long time and it was just a bunch of quick shots of robots doing scary looking things and dramatic music and explosions. Pretty sure there wasn't a human in the whole ad

    Time to once again post the two hour long Elfen Lied retrospective that basically sums up why this one particular anime got any popularity at all - because anime used to be seen as a whole ass genre and for a period of time it was exactly ok for every male or female 7th grader who was into that nerd shit to like sailor moon and dbz in equal measure

    I have been holding off watching that because the animation doesn't seem like it'd be great and it seems like an edgelord's wet dream. But that Op is killer AF and has been on my playlists for months. Is it any good?

    It's got a lot of edgey and even problematic elements but is also quick to make fun of itself in equal measure. It's a pure guilty pleasure.

    Also, watch the sub. It's even sillier when they yell out the ridiculous attacks named after metal bands.

    Yeah that's pretty decent.

    Ha, just came here to post the same thing.

    It's good. Nothing ground breaking, just a beautifully illustrated Shonen that dosen't outstay it's welcome, dosen't constantly introduce new characters, and is actually willing to kill it's darlings (the kill count is pretty impressive by the end of the story).

    Hopefully it can be fully animated, because it's a fun romp

    If it was anything like the vinyl and CDs Columbia House offered, they would license the ability to copy a master and churn out a bunch of cheap copies. Quality was usually not great, but it would cost them pennies. S&H wasn't bad either.

    It's honestly probably the exact length a lot of Shonen should be.

    Yup, a lot of why I liked it - strong established stakes for the main character, and when he reaches that goal... Story over! Even the power source etc introduced is tied back to everything we see from the word go.

    It's an excellent burgers and chips of a story - it's nothing you've not seen before, but it's delicious all the same and exactly what you want out of these things.

    I kind of wish they'd made either of these into a show rather than remaking it.
