fuck this is a hard ask

"best" is so subjective, I think Tallahassee is my favorite one though. There's a lot of really solid ones, and even the ones I think of as less-solid have at least a few songs each that I absolutely love. But if I have to pick one, it's Tallahassee.

Eat these often and it will lower the bitterness of your heart and your mind and open your heart and your numbed senses. It will make your spirit happy, purify and cleanse your mind, lower all bad fluids in you, give your blood a good tonic, and make you strong.

Well of course they don't taste good, they're medicinal ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

oh yeah I totally agree, I don't think that was compatible with the deadly sins thing at all, but I think it's more interesting than the deadly sins thing(mostly; the fact that all of their deaths in brotherhood were super ironic[with the possible exception of Lust] really tickles me)

Brotherhood is way way better and also one of my very favorite shows, but will admit the pacing was a bit too fast in places (the Significant Death in the first third hit a lot less hard because of this imo). The 2003 anime had a little bit more time to get attached to the characters, even if they shit the bed on pacing after diverging from the manga. It also had some really cool ideas honestly:

[SPOILERS FOR FMA 2003] The whole "homunculi are created by people performing human transmutation, and look like the person they were trying to bring back to life" thing was a really cool idea, and imo was more interesting than the canon explanation. Also, Roy having been the one who killed Winry's parents, and the other world on the other side of the gate... more ideas I find really interesting, even if the execution wasn't quite there.

[END SPOILERS]

I also liked that Winry and the library girl were much more major characters; but on the other hand, they don't do my wife Riza Hawkeye the justice she deserves, and therefore actually 2003 FMA is garbage.

Also I'm excited! Let me know what you think. Normally in order to watch anything I have to also be drawing or playing games but DTB frequently had me dropping what I was doing so I could pay full attention, which is rare for me.

Yeah, I've heard that it loses a lot of what makes season 1 so good, but I've not seen it for myself. I very often disagree with the common opinions of anime fans, so I'm still going to give it a try. Just need to watch something a bit more lighthearted first to mix things up.

Reply to Ergo Proxy is one of those animes that I feel like I always heard about being super good and then I try to watch it and I'm just SO BORED by toasthaste

it was also really confusing?? like a lot of stuff just kinda happened without explanation and normally i think animes overexplain everything but this one was too far in the opposite direction for me

I enjoyed some stuff about the setting (being able to turn your robot companion's personality on and off at will is a nice touch) but it just wasn't enough!
