Watching this season

Last completed anime

My favorite waifus

I can talk philosophical and try to analyze writing all I want. I'm still a freaking weeb and I am not denying it.

My favorite video games

I think 13 sentinals is mostly a visual novel, but I've played like 3 VNs so I don't think it makes sense to put it in a different category for now.

I'm actually more interested in watching that parasyte one since parasyte is one of my favourite series

Would that show just be the same as the anime, but live action? If so, this Odd Taxi one definitely interests me more, it's always super cool when media provide an alternate view with additional context to how mysteries played out.

I do really need to re-watch Parasyte though. It's one of my favorite anime too but I haven't seen it since around 2016.

Parasyte, Your Lie in April, and Assassination Classroom are the 3 series I considered among my favorites and rated them 9 when I was way younger (2015-16), but that I want to re-watch to see if I still agree with the scores. Both my tastes and rating methodologies have changed since then, so I'd be interested in learning what I think now. There are a few 7-8s that I've wanted to do that with too.

It's hard to force myself to re-watch something just for that purpose though. Is it really worth spending that many hours watching something just so I can reduce a score on one of my favorite childhood shows by 1, when I could watch something new instead?

Parasyte's a case where I do want to genuinely re-watch it though since I realized I forgot lots of details in the show. Your Lie in April / Assassination Classroom would be re-watches purely for potential re-scoring.

Did you see that Odd Taxi currently has an ongoing live-action J-Drama following the series from another perspective? I'm gonna check it out really soon, although I think I'd get some value in re-watching the series first to pick up on little details

literaturenerd Apr 24, 2:27 PM

Alien and Aliens are both still stone-cold CLASSICS!

literaturenerd Apr 23, 8:50 AM

That was very informative! Metallic sounds like it really could have been something special if it had more episodes! That’s always tragic when that happens.

k0rvus Apr 21, 9:49 PM

BTW there is a music video for "let you down" that shows a small story in the universe that is about a whole new character.

Ohhhh I'd seen that in my recommended but I didn't know it had a special element like this. I just watched it, it was really nice. Apparently, the main character of it has a sister that's a character in the new Phantom Liberty DLC for Cyberpunk 2077.

I haven't played the game yet, mainly because I haven't bought a ps5 yet and have a MASSIVE backlog to get through

My backlog of games is ridiculous too, I'm never going to get through it. I just went through a phase in 2019-2020 of buying lots of games on sale (like that cyberpunk game Va11 Ha11-a I mentioned) that I thought I would want to play, but since then I've played more multiplayers and I never factored in how new releases would delay playing them. We'll see if I actually keep playing lots of Cyberpunk or if I get distracted with other games. It looks so beautiful though, I got it on my new PC with really good specs (and the ability to use mods if I want to) rather than on my ps5.

Rufus was a complete asshole, but I loved his death; it was simple yet insignificant, like his character was, and the way Defrot tricked his mind into thinking he stepped into his room but suddenly fell overboard was so good.
No need for epic fights; it's just that Defrot watches from the side of the ship as Rufus drowns.

It's been a while since I've seen an anime this good. The last time I've felt this unique experience was when I watched Perfect Blue. It's a show that does a lot of story-telling through subtleties. Mars Red episode 1 was still the best episode I've seen so far.

I didn't notice that until you brought it up, lol. The scientist really got the short end of the stick. Considering that there were only 13 episodes, it makes sense that we won't be able to get much.

I agree with the animation; it really captures the dark, moody tone of the series; however, there are some wonky fight scenes at times.

I'm still skeptical about these two shows, Kino's Journey and ID Invaded. However, since you gave it an S and SS tier, I'll give these two a shot.

Hopefully it's a 1 hour long video. I'm just kidding, lol. It's okay; take your time making it. I'm looking forward to your video, though.

PokerFacecat Apr 20, 3:53 PM

Hey just wanted to mention that Kingdom season 5 already finished airing (and way before Grimm Variations) so you should remove it from your "The Future is now,Get ready" stack

Kushna Apr 20, 7:21 AM

I apologize for the delayed response, though. Yes, I am truly grateful to you for recommending the show Mars Red. I think it's an excellent show; I gave it a 9/10. I don't think it's a masterpiece yet since I intend to rewatch the series, which I won't be able to do for the coming months due to other commitments.

Edit: I just saw your YouTube channel. Any plans to do analysis videos for Mars Red or Sonny Boy?

k0rvus Apr 19, 2:17 PM

Did you see the new trailer for Look Back's movie? I'm honestly blown away, I didn't think it would look so beautiful.

I'm even more excited about the movie now. It's got perfect animation in the exact style I love (and accurately brings Fujimoto's style to the big screen) plus the movie could be even greater than the manga due to potentially giving the story more time to breathe.

k0rvus Apr 19, 2:13 PM

I couldn't agree with all your parts about Cyberpunk more. I really think if it was just given a little bit more room to breathe, it could have potentially entered that top echelon of anime for me. However, what they were to accomplish with that kind of story in only 10 episodes is still very impressive.

I really hope that the team behind Edgerunners makes another Cyberpunk anime following a completely different cast (with a couple of easter eggs, of course). I can easily envision it as an anthology series telling different stories of people who tragically gave themselves to Night City.

oh also, Don't forget to at least try the dub to see which version you like more

I do wonder if I could actually like the dub more... For me, that kind of thing is pretty universally untrue. In the past, the only anime I've preferred the dub for are Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy.

k0rvus Apr 17, 9:18 PM

Honestly I 100% agree with that. I think edge runners was way too short for it's own good. It's not that it didn't function as a story, it's that it could have been so much better if it gave us more time with the characters.

For real. I think that they did a good job with the sudden time skip, but it could have been even better with more time to develop through that point. I also thought he and Lucy's relationship could have used a little more development before they got together. But from the point of them getting together onward, that was handled extremely well and produced all of the best moments in the anime.

I'm guessing that the team just couldn't reasonably request much of a longer season from Netflix, so they concluded that the end result was their best option narratively to fit everything.

Edgerunners is honestly having a serious effect of scenes sticking with me, probably moreso than any other anime I've rated an 8 or lower. It's not at the level that Sonny Boy is for me in that regard, but a few of those David/Lucy moments really were just so beautiful, moving, and impactful.

I'm broke, so I don't pay for more than one streaming service, and pirate anything else, so I found it from a pirate site that happened to have the blueray version: https://zoroxtv.to/watch/akudama-drive-10op/ep-1

And thank you for the link lmao, I'll be sure to check out the blueray version instead if it's a solid step up. I'll probably watch it really soon tbh.

k0rvus Apr 17, 10:26 AM

I'm definitely gonna check it out soon then, I'm insanely Cyberpunk-pilled right now. I just recently watched Edgerunners and loved it, then ended up buying Cyberpunk 2077 and downloading Va11 Ha11-A (which I bought like 4 years ago but haven't gotten around to). I need more cyberpunk content in my life lol

Is there a way to watch the blue-ray version you're talking about online? Or did you actually go out and buy the physical blue-rays for it?

Sidenote, while Edgerunners is on my mind, I really think it could have been an easy 9 minimum if it just had maybe 15 to 16 episodes to develop David and his relationship to both the city and the characters a little more gradually.

k0rvus Apr 16, 9:15 AM

Wow, Akudama Drive is really on that level? I've only watched the first episode, but I just had the perception that it seemed like a really fun show. I was planning on asking one of my friends to watch it with me for a fun group watch, but then that never ended up happening unfortunately. It's been on my backburner for a couple years now but it's always on the shortlist of shows that come to mind when I finally start something new.

TRC_Randy Apr 15, 10:11 PM

Hmph. Part of the reason why my replies take sometimes days to post.

literaturenerd Apr 15, 7:04 PM

Their evil has a unique flavor to it that makes them special as a fantasy species. The Skaven are incredibly book smart, so their technology is unparalleled within their own fantasy setting. However, just as the video said, they have ZERO capacity for self-reflection or wisdom or any sort of deeper philosophy beyond "Our guys should kill everyone else, and I personally should be the one to lead our master race! Fuck everyone else!". As a result, they can never actually use their amazing technology effectively. Instant communication for example SHOULD be a massive advantage in any war. They can report changes and troop movements instantly when it takes their opponent's days or weeks with carrier birds. However, one Skaven general will find out about human troop movements and rather than report it to another Skaven general and have the humans walk directly into a well-prepared trap, the first Skaven general will call up the 2nd general and lie to him that that the humans aren't coming, just so that he can get promoted if his rival dies. In terms of wisdom, the Skaven are far and away the dumbest species in the setting, worse than the orcs!
