Also hearing some rumbling that there might be a Emergency RWBY SLSH. They thought they were out, but it sounds like they need to get some feelings out about the *other* trainwreck of a series this season.

It might not be the loudest manga I've ever read (that's Boyfriend X Girlfriend), but it's sure making a run at the title.
I really enjoyed their video about Lain, lots of thoughtful insights into the series.
Yeah. Season 2 isn't bad necessarily, but it does feel incongruous with season 1. And season 1 is excellent and stands on its own just fine.

Honestly I can kinda relate. Not like, to his situation....
Not a lot of people mustered the enthusiasm to continue to watch RWBY, between the poor quality and the fact that Rooster Teeth
This spoiler is a warning for all living mortals.
Jackson and his guest host, Luke/Space Drake, are talking about how the big thematic symbolism of these women who live in dominion under the patriarchal whims of Embryo is thrown away for… effectively Kira Yamato Tusk effectively getting to unsettle him by bragging that he banged Ange before Embryo could with all his omnipotent godhood.
Luke: “Embryo got cucked!”
Jackson: “It doesn’t show a way out of… It’s not like, ‘Oh, Embryo represents this patriarchy that controls these women, and here’s the things that they have to do to escape that,’ it gives answers to its thematic questions, it doesn’t resolve in the way that a story would, where like things mean anything. And so I felt like I’d just been dicked around for like 24 weeks and it pivoted hard.
Luke: Could you imagine watching this weekly?
BOY I SURE CAN.

dammit Fukuda… dammit Fukuda… dammit Fukuda…
Sometimes I like to think that Witch from Mercury is a very very heartfelt apology from Sunrise for making it through that series week to week.
“Oh, oh god so you…. You watched all that just on the promise of a sunrise mecha series with a woman as the lead protagonist. Oh… oh we are so sorry. Please, please have this Gundam show.”
Shit, really? GDI.
I mean it's fine. The premise is a little weird - but it's fine.
And Ai's monologing about her philosophy on love and lies even as she's bleeding out seemed like typical melodramatic anime bullshit.
Now the protagonist's plan is to find and... I guess kill?... his biological father by
1. Spending four years guessing at Ai's phone password until he just happens to get it right.
2. Infiltrating showbiz so he can surreptitiously DNA test anyone that could potentially be his father.
All based on a hunch so that he can murder the guy who maybe sent a stalker after the girl he was himself weirdly obsessed with.
I'm not trying to say it's bad. It's actually pretty decent - I'm enjoying it.
But it's not, like, blowing my socks off or anything.
If ONK can stick the landing better than the Erased anime did then I'll consider it superior I guess
But yes the internet is losing it over the show and I'm not convinced it's about anything other than the very cool character designs
There's one every season it seems.
Hell last few seasons each have had like 3-4 shows get picked up and meme'd to death. CSM, Spy Fam, Witch From Mercury, Bocchi, Komi, Nagatoro, Edgerunners, there's probably a ton more I'm just forgetting in the moment
Also endless Eva and Lain memes
Me: lain will never be ballin
Lain:
Don't know the first thing about this anime but WOWEE

my biggest problem with Oshi no Ko is that once he started writing it, the quality of Kaguya-sama kinda plummeted,0 and I've never been able to not resent Oshi no Ko for it.
I've given up on it since it's really trashy, screamy, and overall obnoxious, but it's using just incredibly fucking bad CGI in general as some kind of weird style. Apparently the most recent episode leaned into that extra hard by just pasting character heads over photos.
Like, this is how ALL the animals in it are rendered and animated. Not just the 'monsters' but the dogs in the village too. It's like someone opened a portal to 1980s CGI.
Well to be fair the Entertainment Industry stuff is like 90% of the manga. The mystery ends up being way less relevant than you'd assume coming off the prologue.
Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm an anime only on Kaguya
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm curious to know where the anime stands compared to the manga as is now
None of the clips posted are even the most garbage parts. Maybe not even in the top five.
The anime and manga of Kaguya have not diverged.
There is a separate argument that once he started writing OnK, Aka's writing quality for Kaguya dropped.
Like he set up way to much serious stuff for a romcom to clealy handle
Ah, ok thanks for clearing that up
If I really thought about it I could probably count on both my hands the numbers of stories I've read that ended truly satisfyingly. Good endings are very hard.
I'd say anime sometimes has the benefit of going back and changing things from the manga, but that can backfire as often as it works out. My roommate talks about the Tokyo Ghoul anime like it committed a murder.
Wait is that even CGI
it looks like they just touched up live action footage of a guy on a rice thresher then drew over his head
