Rewatch of Devilman Crybaby episode 1. It holds up, but is blatantly sexual in a way that the cheesecake from Rebuild or standard big tiddy anime girls aren't. It works for the type of show Devilman is, but it's worth noting before any of yall stumble into it blind and start imitating Joesph Joestar. Majorly NSFW. The art looks really rough at times, particularly with limbs. But it's hand drawn and I think looks more authentic than some of the uncanny valley cgi out there. That's a horse that we've beaten into undeath around here, so I'll just say Crybaby looks best when it goes into absolute insanity territory. Excellent use of colors combined with a truly kinetic animation delivers some of the most horrific monsters possible and does it with style. As to the plot, I'll try not to spoil it. But this episode is the setup and basically what happens is a crybaby teenager on the track team meets up with his old friend, who is now a professor. They shoot at some rappers before going to a sex party where they take in some substances and then it goes into OH MY GOD! territory. Currently hard recommend. This **** slaps.

Leave it to Hurlsnot to downplay the dire plight of vacation homeowners.

Old news, but I think this is a pretty interesting article on local politics. https://www.hcn.org/issues/53.1/south-economy-when-covid-hit-a-colorado-county-kicked-out-second-home-owners-they-hit-back

Well, 6 episodes is nothing compared to Rebuild or SMC so it's not like he hasn't been through worse.

Not yet.

Finished season 2 of B: The Beginning. So it's been at least two years since I watched season 1 and I'm a little fuzzy on that, but this doesn't hold up to my memory. It feels like a quarter of a season (it has half the episode of the first season, and is paced where each episode feels like half an episode), has really janky animation, and isn't particularly interesting. Right now I'd tentatively recommend the first season and just drop it after that. Well, I guess it's MAN HUMAN time.

Wisdom that comes from harsh lessons. Imagine sitting in theaters back in 1999 watching the Phantom Menace and thinking "this actually isn't in the bottom half of Star Wars movies". Better to not even contemplate just how bad it could get.

So Disney is going to buy up the IP and release something worse?

I fail to see what is weird or gross about a magical animal making contracts with emotionally unstable teenage girls.

KP has already seen the spoiler.

I did.

Reservation Dogs. So far it's been amazing. Yuuge recommendation.

If only. Anyways in the last 20 years a bit less than 6500 Americans died in Afghanistan, the bulk of them contractors. There were weeks where the rona took more than that, and it continues to kill hundreds daily as more variations keep popping up. I'm wondering if some of the folks currently wailing at ol Joe are going to make that a priority any time soon, because it seems a lot of them really don't give two tugs on a dead dog's **** about dead bodies piling up.

So B is back and I have no idea what is going on lmao. Kidnapping, blackmail, genetically engineered birdman, and moar conspiracy abound.

Since @majestic mentioning Ekkusu got me wanting to rewatch Devilman, I went through the other anime that I watched on Netflix. I thought I'd mention a few I haven't seen talked about here yet. Cagaster of an Insect Cage: CGI abomination, do not watch. BNA: Absolutely insane, in a pretty good way. Not too much, if any, CGI from what I remember. Main characters are a confused half-animal girl and an edgy Wolfman. DIO is also a snake. Baki: Martial Arts Gym Gods. Pretty ugly and really stupid. Dorohedoro: All CGI and real uncanny valley hours. A shame, because the manga is great. If you can get past the CGI worth it, if not just give up. Hi Score Girl: CGI love story between two socially challenged kids who play Street Fighter 2. B the Beginning: Some weird **** I half remember about conspiracies and genetic engineering. I haven't seen season 2, but season 1 didn't make me want to kill myself. I've already recommended Beastars, Great Pretender, and Carole & Tuesday, but I'll do it again. Devilman Crybaby is an eternal recommendation. Anyways I guess it's season 2 of B. Let's see if I lose my mind.

Is this about Australia, China, or India?

Is it now? Guess I know what I'm watching next.

What are yall talking about? There's never been any live action anime adaptations produced by Netflix.

Huh. Well if part 7 was a retelling of part 1 and part 8 was a Mashup of parts 3+4 (with a reference to 2), I guess that means JoJoland could be a reference to 5 or 6. Either way if it tracks with every other part of JoJo it's going to be completely insane.

The rebuild movies. Sarex and I enjoyed it, Bartimaeus and majestic hated it. Especially Anno's waifu. Oh ho. Soon all of us will have seen the sheer insanity that is DIO.

Well I might not watch Utena because I found out something I wouldn't enjoy. You see

I think in many cases the answer to the acknowledgement of someone as a person (with personal bonds and all that jazz) can be "I don't care, **** them". Rush Limbaugh is a man who contributed to making a lot of lives hell and made millions doing so, when I think of all the people I've known who got kicked out of their homes or suffered abuse by their parents because ol' Rush was telling them how teh gheys were abominations, it's hard to give him anything but scorn. I'll fully admit to saying that empathy is conditional, and I think anyone who tries to say otherwise is lying to themselves. You will be glad when people you think are horrible kick the bucket.
