    New season of Demon Slayer started out pretty flashy. Makes sense, since part of the episode was from the movie.

    Oof, this Cafe Terrace anime was really, really bad. And not in a fun way. Just boring and relying entirely on (censored) nudity, but the girls aren't very interesting or well drawn. At least I can check that one off the list now.

    I'm still reading the manga for this, though mostly through sunk cost fallacy at this point because it's pretty obvious who the ending will be with (at least it sure seems like it).

    The characters do get marginally more distinguishable as time passes, and there's plot events and stuff, but yeah, there's too much fanservice a lot of the time and the personalities are very one-note. On the other hand, I do appreciate how the male lead is still, at 100 chapters in, generally uninterested in romantic involvements and would like the girls to just leave him alone so he can get on with running the restaurant.

    Real. I last heard a joke about this three days ago.

    I dunno why everyone thinks Sydney is shit I quite like the place and everyone I meet is nice but I didn't grow up here and all I need from my life is fast internet, a room to keep my computer and console, and some income. It provides all of these things.

    Americans and Australians are natural enemies.

    Like Englishmen and Australians.

    Or like Kiwis and Australians.

    Or like Indonesians and Australians.

    Aight, I just finished Evangelion 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo which is a dumb name but anyway

    I've lost the thread.

    Ain't none of this shit make sense no more and it barely ever did to begin with.

    Also, I don't know if Shinji is supposed to be sympathetic but I absolutely despise this little shit. His (dub) voice actively makes me want to run headfirst into a woodchipper.

    Edit: the more I think about it the more it feels like Evangelion suffers from having too cool of a premise. It's vague and mysterious and an absolutely absurd spectacle but the necessity of having to explain all this insane shit and move it towards some kind of resolution with closure means that it's gonna collapse under its own weight.

    Granted, I still have 3.0+1.0 to go so maybe it sticks the landing. Also I'm watching the redo and not the series which I kinda didn't know was a thing going into this so I have no idea how these differ and if maybe I should've watched Evangelion + End of Evangelion. I dunno, Evangelion is baffling both in the subject matter and how you even engage it.

    I kinda almost wish that all these angels and shit never got explained and just existed as the backdrop to interpersonal mecha drama. It's like, what would happen if we woke up one day and the apocalypse kicked off with a giant fucking space cube with one billion angel eyes or whatever? We wouldn't know what the fuck was going on, it would just be a matter of trying to survive and adapt and understand what little fragments we could about the great Cosmic Red Hue that's come to make everything obnoxiously red.

    I get Hideki Anno has like, things and stuff to say and I'm being picky, here but it's just my gut reaction.

    3.33 and what would eventually become 3.0+1.0 were supposed to be released fairly close together, but the latter was delayed for almost a decade.

    The big thing is at teh time, from what I remember, 3.0 basically sent Anno back into a depressive state which, when you know about Anno’s past, the way Eva is basically his most personal work, and 3.0 basically being about “What if you did desperately run back home to your abuser thinking that everything was all your fault and thought you could fix everything by doing what they wanted from you?” And then… yeah, can see how that grinds further production to a halt for someone like Anno.


    Supposedly, it was the Shin Godzilla project that helped pull him back out of that state.

    doesn't seem like it's streaming anywhere currently but the new bluray release of the OVA is out next month

    also don't watch the theatrical cut, it cuts out too much stuff for something that doesn't have all that many moving parts in the first place and suffers for it
