deanb Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 In trying to find a funny clip segment for the embed I found that best I can tell most the episodes are up on Youtube (though not legitimately). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Now onto Cowboy Bebop. One of those seminal shows that's been on my list for a while. I believe it's getting a live action production soonish. So far I'm about 4 episodes in or so, it's defo a bit of an old style show of "bounty of the week", very little (so far) interconnecting material to keep the momentum and hungry for more. Like it feels it would easily slip in some kind of conspiracy thing (and maybe it will). Spike is all over the place too; sometimes 'heart of gold' type, other times an uncaring bastard type, frequently dumb (trying to crack open a virus vial) while at times uncannily prophetic/insightful/intuitive (like slipping virus vial into the womans pocket). The general feel of the world at large though reminds me of The Expanse, so that's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Why does this work so well?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I never watched it when it was current, so I finally got around to The Devil Is a Part-Timer. Again, I wish people would have explained this better to me because the impression I got was that a demon lord was banished to Earth and forced to work at McDonald's MgRonald's. Instead, Satan and his trusted right-hand Alciel willingly flee to Earth and have to make a life for themselves until they can gather enough magic and return to Ente Isla. They aren't the only residents of their world however and so begins a series of comedy and action with some almost too real slice-of-life moments. I mean, in just the first episode Satan is tempted to use his limited magic reserves to cook some french fries after the fryer breaks down. If he doesn't, then the location won't be #1 in sales!

TheMightyEthan Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I loved that show, I wish there was more than one season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Been kinda meh on video games the past few days. No idea what to play next or what I even want to play. So I used that as an excuse to binge watch some anime. I'm paying for Crunchyroll so I might as well use it once in a while. Anyway, I finally got around to checking out The Promised Neverland. I've been curious ever since hearing really good things about the manga. It wasn't quite the nail-biting thriller I was expecting but it's pretty good. It was more on the drama side of things than I would've liked, though. Probably didn't help that in the last few eps said drama mostly hinged on a fake out that I 100% did not fall for lol. I really like where the season ended, though. Leaves things wide open to go basically anywhere next. Started Demon Slayer next. I hadn't really heard anything about it but I've been seeing that boar-headed dude popping up everywhere the past few days and got really curious. Only 2 episodes in but it already seems very my shit. Starting to get high expectations for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Demon Slayer is like the biggest thing this/last season. I need to get around to it. Besides, look at how gorgeous it looks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 There are some naysayers, but that has been a constant in the anime community since forever. Demon Slayer has been my #2 this season and last. Tanjiro is such an amazing protagonist. He's both skilled and compassionate, even to his fallen foes. He recognizes the pain behind their very inception as they too were once human. Nezuko is cute, but boy howdy does she have a following now. Not too into the top brass of the Demon Slayer Corp yet. Maybe some of them will grow on me, but they strike me as pompous asses. Well, except for Tomioka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 NNNOOOOOO.wav I try to stay legit and use Netflix, Prime and CR, but then stuff like this hits and it makes me consider just getting a bottle of rum, blast some Alestorm and raise the black sails...

Mal Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is bizarre but well paced for the most part. I currently got to part two... Seriously, I'm with Smokey, where did Joseph get that Tommy gun!? Well, onwards. I'm for sure enjoying this... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Trust me, you won't know the true meaning of bizarre until you get to part 3. Stands are such an insane game-changer for this series. ...fuck, I really need to watch Golden Wind already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 You haven't watched Part 5 yet? Shit, man, it finished a while back. You don't even have to wait for new episodes anymore. At least watch the torture dance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Yeah, like 3 episodes in I realized that the weeklong wait just wasn't doing it for me and decided to wait until it was over. Then it ended and I just kinda forgot about it lol. I haven't even finished Demon Slayer, which I started like a month ago. Or shit, make that two months ago according to my post above. I can't stick with a show to save my life these days. The last one I managed to binge until I ran out of episodes was The Good Place and it was the first one in a while.

Mal Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Finally watching Jojo makes Dio Brando all the more interesting and perplexing. Dio first shows up with Jonathan Joestar but I know Dio eventually fight Jotaro Joestar with a modern-ish compactor roller (WRRRYYYYY) and of course stands so Dio at some point just have a massive power level spike. Jojo for sure have some pretty distinct power levels. It's not like more of the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 What the FUCK? Bizarre. It's bizarre. Spoiler Considering all that has happened, all I know Kars will come back with aliens. Then probably be squashed like Freeza. Anyhow! Onwards to Stardust Crusaders. I think I'll need some way other than Netflix to watch it. Speaking of Netflix, it has some censors. Mostly gore and the few Nazi salutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 I didn't even think to ask, are you watching it in English or Japanese? Both shows are fine and I'm usually not a dub vs sub purist but this is one of those cases where it is SO much more enjoyable in Japanese just because of all the hilarious Engrish.

CorgiShinobi Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 @FLD Dude, finish them! Demon Slayer is sooooooooo good! Of course Golden Wind is, but don't sleep on Demon Slayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 @Mister Jack I was watching it subbed. Honestly, the official subs seems off from some things that the characters say, frequently during times when they use English since you know, I can hear words that's not in the subtitles... But I guess the subtitles are adequate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 You mean when they change the names of things based on copyrighted musical references? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 So that what those were. Those made up some of the off subs and Japanese dialog but there are some others where some phrases seemed (again, I'm no localization expert) to be missing.

Mal Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Anyhow, putting Jojo on hold a bit until I get off my ass and get my Steam Link setup again so I can watch Stardust Crusaders on my living room TV from my computer. I gave Plex a shot but it confounding me so I'm going with what works. In the meantime, time for me to check out Carole & Tuesday. It has been a long time since I have been back on this Mars... Or at least it should be the same Mars as Cowboy Bebob. I heard good things about this show so, why not? It's on Netflix and it's ready to watch.

Mal Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Stardust Crusaders is finished. Overall this was better in a lot of ways but I think I prefer Battle Tendency more just because of Joseph. Jotaro is a fine addition to the Joestars but Joseph is just too hard to beat. Hell, Part 3 grew Joseph's character some more which made him stronger. Part 2 also has Lisa Lisa which Part 3 lacks someone like her (I like badass women...). On to Part 4... which is the point I have no history with. Only recent Jojo thing I know is a meme "Oh, you're approaching me?". I don't even know the characters in them and what's the whole deal is. Hell, how do you grow after Part 3? I'm absolutely intrigue how Jojo got up to Part 8. How does it continue for 30+ years!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) Part 4 is my personal favorite part but opinions on which part is the best are all over the place. Edited November 27, 2019 by Mister Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Part 4 is also my personal favorite. For a while I didn't know because Part 2 and Part 3 have excellent moments, but in the end I think it was the characters, setting, antagonist(s) that won me over to Part 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Gonna have to agree on Part 4 being the best (although I still haven't watched Part 5). It starts out "only" really good but keeps getting better and better as the pieces slowly fall into place and you start to see how they all fit together. By the halfway point it was already my favorite part and the last few episodes are some of the most tense bullshit I've seen in any anime not called Monster.
