MaximalDisguised's Profile

Thank you for accepting my friendship request, you have a beautiful profile, it was to be expected from an evangelion fan.

Thanks for the add:)
I had to add you because your a NGE fan ^^
Oh and I like to talk with you about stuff too ^^

Gipfel der Götter <3 Wie fandest den ersten Band?

Thanks man! I couldn't help myself, I just bought the first five volumes of Berserk en masse. God help me, I hope my wallet can keep up!

Also on another note it's cool to see that you're enjoying Megalo Box so much, I definitely think it has a chance of being my AotS (my only concern is that the cyber-arm aspect might make it too silly to take seriously).

Still though, I love the aesthetic, the directing, the music, and Junk Dog. I think I'm definitely watching Ashita no Joe and Hajime no Ippo as soon as this show finishes! The only question is which one since they're both prety long LMAO.

BTW where do you read Berserk online (may be different for you since you're German and I'm in NA). I plan on buying the physical volumes slowly over time (a couple a month) to support Miura, but my reading pace definitely outpaces that. All I can find online are shitty translations instead of the official Dark Horse ones

Yeah, I just read the first chapter.

Honestly, as much as I liked it, it didn't feel nearly as good as the Golden Age stuff. A grizzled badass going around killing monsters is cool and all, but it just doesn't do as much for me as much as large scale battles between nations, political intrigue, and tragedy of interpersonal relationships (Casca, Guts, and Griffith) like in the Golden Age arc.

I see now why you love Berserk so much.

I just completed the Berserk 1997 series and I'm shaken to my core. I thought after seeing Evangelion I wouldn't see another masterpiece for a while, but here I am, less than a month later. This show is now my fourth favorite anime of all time.

Listening to the godly OST now, and I can't wait to begin the manga!

Thoughts on the new FLCL episode?

I won't lie, I'm a little crushingly disappointed. Not bad, but not exactly good either. The directing is too bland and the show just feels like a FLCL-fied K-On! I guess it had some good things going for it though.

oh sorry i thought you read it because in the site it is said u have completed it

so i read Uzumaki.
i feel like there is a reason why kirie, the main character, didnt end up dying or being fucked up in the story
there are other people as well who didnt get affected that much by what is happening compared to other fucked up people
or am i overthinking this?
i think kierie is simple person who want simple stuff and she is satisfied(edited)

it kind of ironic cause her character is not that complex hehe
well
overall the story was good experience. i wanted to hate it tbh, i couldnt.
it just draws me.
it is like spiral.
it is weird experience.
and i am glad that i read it
i wish i am more aware of why i like it
i feel like i still dont understand my feelings about it

Yes I will definitely read it (although I might wait until after Wit's adaptation since their anime are often visually stunning and have great Sawano music).

I usually like to read a manga after I'm done watching the anime since I'm worried that reading the manga will make me lose motivation to watch the anime in the first place, that's why I'm watching Berserk (1997) so I can start to read Berserk immediately afterwards :)

So, thoughts on the Vinland Saga announcement? Looks like you're a big fan of the manga! :)

Yeah the filler was bad from what I saw of it. I binged the show when it was done so I skipped most of the filler, but I watched the Bount arc (which was horrible). I liked the Aizen arc at its core but my biggest time was the number and length of "filler fights" between side characters vs Espada that I frankly didn't care about and didn't effect the plot in any way. I remember that fucking pink haired scientist guy vs Ishida and Renji lasted like 90 episodes.

Still, it was fun. The music, and a lot of the good fights (like against Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, and Aizen) made up for it.

How was the 1000 Year War Arc in the manga or whatever its called? I heard it got...mixed reviews.

What do you think of Bleach btw? A simple score is hard to sum up a long show of inconsistent quality. IMO the first arc was pretty decent, and then after that the Soul Society arc was one of my favorite arcs ever, and then the Aizen arc was mostly meh with some good scenes, fights, and moments between the meh. Still can't give it below a 6 though because of how much I loved the Soul Society arc.

yea evergarden is not good for me at all.
it started out intersting after 2-3 epsiodes
like oh they have this character with bland personality that want to understand other people
like she is a robot or alien
and she interact with others and make mistalkes
i liked that
she developed a little bit
it was slow and good
then
sigh
it becomes something else
i dont want to go into deltils
but i feel like the creators are trying too hard
to make the character relatable to other character she interact with in every ep
so this is the structure of the show:
in every episode she interact with new character. she learn from them and relate to them. the new characters learn from her and see stuff from another perspective because she feels pure and honest.
thats cool concept if done right

i didnt explain my issues
i just said why i like it
or why i had expectations for it
here comes the negatives
so there are episodes where she just comes out of character
like it feels like she is different character if u actually have memory and pay attention
she just started having interests without good and prober build ups
people would call that development, i say bullshit
that is not how development work

i have to be specific
i will say one example
in ep 6 she was assigned a job to copy some astronomy books in some academy or something. she meet this guy who help her as well. then after she copies many books she goes in and describes how wonderful are books, and she noticed that it is special thing that she was entrusted with preserving old books for future generations and how wonderful it is to do it. and they do it in dramatic way. for a normal human, you and me, it would be normal to say that right? but to her and her character and what she has been through, it kinda feels off.
