Anime - Magical Girl Anime Thread, hajimarimasu!

JoJo Stardust Crusaders 18: Arabia Fats' The Sun. Interesting stando, but the real standout moment was when the gang broke out in laughter. Because no one in this show laughs normally. Pretty interesting. I have to check out that thing in the middle Anno helped get going, because that animation looked great. But if anyone want a TL;DW- 525 replies

Anime - Magical Girl Anime Thread, hajimarimasu!

So first thing, I would only eat McDonald's if the alternative was something vile like Burger King or Subway. If I'm going to eat a fast food burger, it's going to be Whataburger. Secondly, there's been a trend of high profile chefs starting restaurants featuring simple street food like burgers, hot dogs, tacos, etc. Now some of this is a desire to break into a more casual dining market, which can be more lucrative than haute **** only affordable by rich ****ers, and some of it is trying to bourgeois-ify casual food to provide a novelty to rich ****ers. This is relevant because sometimes the former is just pretty damn good, like I love good barbecue or hot chicken and waffles to the point that I'd prefer it over most of the haute stuff some of the wealthier forum members eat, while the latter stuff like $100 burgers can go **** themselves. Now what this has to do with anime....well I think what makes both food and media work for me is feeling. Like I enjoy a stylistic romps and heartfelt stuff like Watanabe's animes, deep and horrifying **** like Berserk (90s), silly light hearted stuff like Sailor Moon, deconstructed versions of silly light hearted stuff like Madoka, and....well whatever the **** JoJo is. Sometimes you can look at them in terms of quality, ie Watanabe animes seem to have a very solid production while Sailor Moon was a low budget cash grab that somehow worked (aside from a certain horse), but I don't put much into that. The bigger qualifier for me is how did it make me feel, because at the end of the day all the technique or production values in the world can't save something that just isn't good while something good can bring subpar or mediocre things together to create something great. I don't know if this makes any sense at all, but I'd recommend anyone check out the live action movie Thunder Road (2018) to kind of see what I mean. It was made on a shoe string budget and imo easily beats out a ton of movies whose budget was gargantuan.- 525 replies

That's what you get for watching from the couch. MOTOR BOAT IN A BATHTUB. I was going to compare him to Nolan, in that both make big budget blockbusters that aim for being more profound/thought provoking than your average action flick but fail (for me at least) at doing so. Maybe it's the curse of the big budget only producing kid movies and boring action stuff. Arrival and one of his early films are really good though.

I think Dennis Villeneuve's sci-fi movies just aren't that interesting and end up being boring for me. I dunno.

I think the Dune movies should end with the worm-human hybrid god emperor and no explanation at all. Anyways I'm going to read Hero of Two Worlds soon. -

JoJo Stardust Crusaders 16 and 17: Steely Dan's The Lovers I think this arc had the notable fact of having the longest beatdown before part 5, and god damn if anyone deserved it more than ol' Steely Dan. 1 minute of One thing that I like about Stands vs Hamon is that the ideas behind STANDO POWAH are way more creative.- 525 replies

Cowboy Bebop. It's not as bad as I thought it'd be, but it just feels...like it's not anything special. The iconic scenes it translated into live action just don't look as good as the anime. And Jet's beard looks terrible lmao. -
WhistlePig 10 year Rye Whiskey. I like it. It's very smooth but there is a small burst of heat and an almost grainy issue (though that could be a result of the microgreens I ate).

They do translate some of the side panels and bubbles, but I don't think it's consistent. The fansubs will fix it.- 525 replies

Komi Can't Communicate with Hououin Kyouma. It was better than last week. I think the show works as something light to watch that I'm not terribly invested in.- 525 replies

If the Republican party collapsed today, it'd be over a decade too late. Unfortunately, I've been hearing pronouncements of the imminent death of the GOP sine at least 2012 and it hasn't stuck. I think those of yall who don't live in a Republican state don't really understand how entrenched they are. The GOP is more like a vampire than the CPSU, rather than collapsing because of contradictions within itself it's only going to be destroyed by figuratively driving a stake through its heart and cutting off the head. The Democrats aren't up to the task of disassembling the monster, even in the face of an attempted coup they are either unwilling or unable, so the Republican party will continue to rise from it's coffin to terrorize the world. If the GOP does collapse in 20 years or so, it's more likely that it happens because climate change has pushed the world into dystopia than because the GOP's bull**** finally having consequences.

This is why I try to not care about adaptations, there is a very good chance they will be massive disappointments and massive disappointment is bad. Between majestic taking weekly psychic damage and you getting a disappointment 25 years in the making, apathy seems vindicated. But watch me come in here tomorrow to rage over Cowboy Bebop lmao. Maybe this is Hurlsnot hating something that is good? Thus proving his taste is an inversion of yours. -

They backed out after getting viewers. Unfortunately the hoax took on a life of it's own, like Qanon. -
