[LordDeathwatch]

Yup, it's like not disciplining a badass child and then they escalate to the next level of fukkery. We gotta Neg him regularly to keep him from getting worse.

@42 Monks was right.

 

[twan83]

Yup world trigger s2 gonna be most slept on anime this year with the way this shyt is rolling nothing but flames

 

[Mr. Negative]

I hate having a random ED stuck in my head.... but not remembering where it came from so I can just listen to it.


edit: found it


while I LOVE spotify, it doesn't have none of this type of shyt on there

 

[Consumed]

@Consumed you know the RahXephon episode I'm thinking of

Haven't seen it. Only know that it borrows from Eva a lot. Is it good?

need to be a neg train on him every time

 

[Mr. Negative]

there's no way I can give my top 5 episodes.

Moments? Yeah.

Episodes!?


I think the difference is the medium. Like I could prolly give you my favorite episodes of almost ANY TV series I've watched.

But that's because post Buffy/DBZ, you have a Showrunner plotting, and different directors directing and different writers writing different eps. (YES, I DO feel like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and DBZ are the legit parents of modern western media, the same way I feel like RZA is the father of modern music marketing)

Anime is a different kind of beast. You got one studio doing the work of one writer over 13-god knows how many eps. Usually, the only things that change are the budget and/or the studio.. It's hard to pick out an ep out of a series to say is "greater".

At least for me.

 

[42 Monks]

Plus with the way these shows stretch certain things..... some events can 'happen' across multiple episodes. Its just hard to measure imo.

I always lean on RahXephon because that show is really, really close to being a whole fukking mess but its got one particularly great episode that makes you forget what a sham it is. Plus the movie makes up for it a bit too.

Usually, when you've got a good show - its always good more or less so a defining ep that elevates the entire product isn't really something you'd key off on.

 

[Kenny West]

Meh I went off of moments mostly

exactly.

I look at it like this Ask somebody what was their favorite episode in DBZ is... when Frieza was counting.

 

[bxrfan]

This might seem weird but now that I'm older I find myself subconciously bumping up the the ages of characters from a lot of shonen shows now. Does anyone else experience this?

It's like I know the official ages but my brain refuses to believe that these 10-15 year olds can look like and be doing all these things at their age so they have to be older than what they are. Maybe it's because now that I'm almost 30 I see how young kids really are at that age whereas when I was a teenager myself it felt perfectly fine

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Kings Raid started off as mid with potential, but over like the last 6 episodes that shyt went up a notch or two.

 

[Consumed]

still in awe of how nice the fades and transitions are in Horimiya. You can tell what a character is going through from the direction alone. Like Miyamura's struggles with being ostracized in school, his insecurities about whether he deserves to have friends or not.

Another great episode this week. I feel like I'm watching a mount rushmore esque romance in the making.
