Thanks for saying so!

Sry for the late reply, work and going out have been eating a lot of my time and sometimes it just feels like I don't have anything to add or say. I'd definitely be down for a Blade Runner anime by Watanabe. He did the short animation for the newest movie too and I would really like to see him return to his sci-fi and action roots... I mean slice or life and "music" based shows are fun, but dam I miss the old Watanabe. Very hyped for the Cyberpunk 2077 game, I don't even PC game though, so I might start just for that. Watanabe is really into music though, he helped produce the music for the Lupin III: Fujiko anime and he even did a music video for Flylo and Anderson Paak. Have you seen anything by David Lynch btw? He was in another Flylo music video.



Yeah I remember watching Cloud Atlas in theaters... it was a really strange movie, by the directors of Run Lola. I don't think they've really done anything since then, but it even had Tom Hanks in it, even though it was more of an indie movie. I been watching a lot of movies lately, I was just an Fantasia Film fest in Montreal and saw Ready or Not which was great. The directors and lead actress where there for the premiere of the movie. There were a few other movies, but nothing really memorable tbh. I feel like more of that author's work in general should be adapted. Lucifer and the Biscuit hammer is really good and definitely deserves an anime. I think the author just knows how to write satisfying conclusions. Anime is just like any other industry man, it will jump on trends to make money. Isekai is hot money maker right now and ppl are gonna take advantage of that.

Yeah I think I watched a few episodes of Hyonge Mono, but at the time the show wasn't fully subbed so I wanted to wait. Also the opening theme is amazing lol. Did you start watching Carol and Tuesday btw? I watched the first episode... but honestly I just wasn't vibing with the show, people are saying it gets better later, but like I didn't think the songs were really that great tbh. I am a big fan of Thundercat though, who is apparently in the show later. I'm just surprised I'm not really into Watanable's newer works in general. Kids on the Slope and Terror in Resonance were both kind of let downs, especially Terror. I actually really liked Space Dandy, but the show was a little hit or miss with all the different directions and he was just working production. Idk man I'm not saying he lost his touch, but I'd like to see him go back to his roots.

You're talking about his Samurai oneshot right? Yeah thats a great one... it's hard to believe that Vinland Saga and Planetes were made by the same guy though. Both are so different, but each great in its own way. I actually read Spirit Circle recently too. Its a really solid, despite the the art being kind of meh, the story and characters really sell it. I've always found the concept of past lives to be really interesting too and I was getting tired of the typical modern motifs of alternate dimensions or time travel or isekai.

Lol I have some merc with the raptor logo, but the ball with the claw marks is cool too. Yeah it's quieted down a bit, but people are still very eager to see if the MVP is going to stay with the raptors or go to another team.

Also yeah T-dot blew up when we won the NBA championship. I wouldn't be anywhere else

Dam bro, thats great to hear. I wish I had more motivation to go through my backlog and tackle some of the bigger series that I always wanted to finish (like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, 12 Kingdoms, Slam Dunk, Crest of the Stars, Argento Soma, Zegapain etc.). I feel like they just been waiting for me to get to them, but I just get busy with seasonals and western shows and movies and video games and I never really get to them. I've actually been going through quite a few big manga recently though. My new job is pretty chill and I get a lot of downtown so I go though some manga, when I'm not busy.

I've read a few good ones lately like Sanctuary, The Climber, HolyLand, Spice and Wolf, Bastard, Bokkou, Eagle, etc.). Yeah man, if I don't enjoy something I just tend to drop it bro. I just don't have the time these these. I remember when I was obsessed with getting more completed anime and hitting 3k completed. It was mostly watching short animations, movies, music videos and commercials though.

Yeah of course here's a few good ones from the last few years. Kimetsu no Yaiba, Mob Psycho, Devilman Crybaby, Megalo Box, My Hero Academia, Grand Blue, Shouwa Genroku, KonoSuba, Shingeki no Bahamut, Drifters, Sakamoto, Prison School, One Punch Man.

Also how hyped are you for the Vinland Saga anime? First episode should be out soon actually. The studio that did Attack on Titan is handling it so I'm pretty confident its going to be decent.

Also I have an interview coming up for the interview club on this site. Feel free to submit some questions about me.

How you been btw?

Depends on the target demographic. It would lose the fans of the first series like my buddy Aesthetic Onion. He seemed to mostly like it because it reminded him of Lain. Meanwhile , it could potentially be more popular with a wider audience.

Not really. I expect the modern adaptation is likely going to follow closer to the light novels and be less abstract. I could be wrong though.

I totally agree with your ratings philosophy BTW. Trying to assign an objective measurement to a subjective work of art just ends up being pretty arbitrary. I try to be objective, but I'm aware my own ratings are affected by various factors. Some of these include: my mood when I'm watching a series, what company I watch it with, and my expectations going in based on what others said.

Thanks man! I had a fun time writing that one.

Thanks!

Yeah Thunderbolt is originally a manga, I haven't read it myself though. Yeah the manga is really ramping up for Berserk... its been a long while since people have been so excited including myself. Yeah I feel like it can be difficult to avoid spoilers these days, especially with really popular manga like Berserk. Speaking of Naoki Urasaw (the creator of 20th Century Boys) he started doing this series called Manben, where he interviews other manga artists, which is super interesting, definitely worth checking out. He did an episode on Junji Ito, Ino Asano, Hanazawa Kengo and a lot more. I just wish more of the episodes were translated.

Wow FLCL was really popular back in the day, I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet. I fucking love Yoshiaki Kawajiri and all his stuff. I feel like hes extremely underrated. Especially his more acclaimed works like Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D. He had a bunch of projects that ended up getting put on the back burner like a new Ninja Scroll and a new Vampire Hunter D series. I feel like he doesn't really have the same kind of power that he used to at Madhouse, even though hes the only founder thats left. They did end up making a teaser trailer for the Ninja Scroll sequel, but as far as I know the project has been shelved.

Oh wow, I haven't heard of anything related to Boogiepop Phantom in a long time. Speaking of bizarre sequels though, they released the new FLCL early. I just finished the episode... gotta say I was pretty bored out of my mind though. 75% of the show was just a SoL about 4 girls making a rocket ship and thne like the last 25% something actually happens lol. Pretty much it seems like the original, but instead of the MC its his sister... The last bit was pretty decent though and its only 6 episodes apparently so I'll probably ride it out.

Anyway yeah Piano no Mori seems interesting, I remember watching the movie, but FMP is definitely the one I'm most looking forward to... its been years since I saw the original and I'm really curious about how the story ends. Also really need another season of Gundam Thunderbolt... hopefully that comes out soon. The last episode of Origin should be coming out soon too. Also if you follow the Bersek manga something big just happened... like fans have been waiting 20+ yrs for it big. I haven't been so excited reading a Berserk chapter since I was in my teens lol.

OOOOH, OK
NOW I'M FUCKING HYPED (just saw the announcement)

New Boogiepop anime? I've only heard about the two new manga (and that's pretty hype-worthy too).
