going to mention some nasty concepts in this post but I won't describe any specifics

the back half of the series actually has less "fanservice" IIRC but also does this somewhat by engaging in a bait and switch against it's audience and having some really nasty sexual assault imagry so be prepared to deal with that

it is weird how that dichotomy is because when you look at specific scenes and some shot choices and merchandising the way they treat women is so fucked up but the women in the story are really interesting and complex and an important part of the story to me at least was how they get mistreated (mostly by men). like if the protagonists are shinji and misato, then the biggest people around them story-wise are rei and asuka, and ritsuko and kaji (and the adults/teens reflect each other in neat ways, most noticeably with the protagonists)

evangelion has a lot of problems but it was super impactful on me as a young teenager so it still holds a place in my heart. its just hard for me to ever really recommend it to anyone without some caveats. >.<

also wow cool robot

oh hell yea I really like it

this is good and now i want to watch this anime lol

I only watched the first few episodes and I think it owns that they updated the human character designs to be more detailed and work in HD but haven't touched the animal designs at all which is pretty funny. I didn't keep up with it tho I don't really have an attachment lol

has anyone watched that fruits basket anime adaptation? people are saying it's good, which sounds weird

thank you love these posts

back in my day it was the magic smoke, gen z has it so good.

This is the most owned I’ve been all month

not with that attitude

Excellent, that's all I needed to know. Thank you for your timely comment reply.

this is possible but outside the purview of this post

what about dating an anime-style girl?

Why are you hurting me specifically

impossible. it cant be done. how can we possibly introduce a viewer to our fantasy world without also hamfistedly introducing it to a character who's also new to it. no one has ever done this.

if that happens i'll be pleasantly surprised

they need to make another season damnit

yona is great i need to read it

yona...

i absolutely LOVE dungeon meshi

it's a joke it seems to be impossible for manga/light novel/anime writers

is this an actual challenge or is this a joke about anime? because it seems easy but i am not a writer

though it's only manga, dungeon meshi pulls this off really well imo!

it's really good and the execution is perfect, like every detail from voice acting to pacing to music is inspired. I'm so hype
