I heard Watanabe wanted to do another comedy like Space Dandy but Adult Swim told him no it had to be serious, which is a big mistake since correct me if I'm wrong since its been years but Bebop wasn't that serious aside from a few small moments or some of the later episodes. I think I remember seeing spike fight some guy in a giant sombrero and poncho in episode 1 and episode 2 was 90% chasing Ein around, and wasn't that episode whey they all get high on mushrooms in the later half of the series

I miss the old days of anime when the producers would just troll the creators and the viewers, we'll never have another saga of Pedro in current year

Just cute innocent body disposer eyes.
 
Man Lazarus fucking sucks. Episode 3 and some retarded noncharacter is introduced that is a tranny who servers virtually no purpose other than to have a that in the show for 4 minutes. What the fuck is this site trying to do because then a black character talks about chimping out because somebody told him there would never be a black Einstein. This shit stinks
 
More importantly, it’s also the GOAT’s birthday!

I know him best as Giroro, but others might remember him from Hellsing and Resident Evil. He’s also Gerard Butler’s official Japanese voice, which gave us an amazing reference where Giroro says, in English, “THIS! IS! SPARTA!!!!”
 
Glad I skipped over Lazarus when I saw the crappy Cowboy Bebop knock off imagery it was using for promotions, it sounds even worse than I thought it would be. Anime well and truly is getting pozzed by progressives, isn't it? This season is pretty crappy overall as well, I haven't seen anything that seems worth keeping up with. My Hero Academia: Vigilantes looks ok but after MHA was such a disappointment, I don't really want to get into more anime from the same universe.

I'm up to date on the manga and it's clear the two justifications for it's continued existence are fan service of the half dozen or so female characters and filler so that King can continue to land as a joke character.

I am guilty of that since I only check for updates to see if my waifu (do not steal) Tatsumaki is in it. The Garo garbage made me massively lose interest in the story; he's a shit character and it went on for way too fucking long. At this point I don't really care about the story because Murata fucked it up, so he might as well just give me the softcore pinups I am there for as I loosely pay attention to the story.

Does anyone dislike OP characters? Like it happens with One Punch Man and Mob Psycho (same writer I believe, go figure).

For me it is heavily contextual. Yeah, usually it's done awful, but sometimes I like it when the author realizes that not all conflicts and enemies have to be ones that can be killed with superpowers, but that has to be done well or else you end up with Superman style stories and I have never liked those either. My avatar is from Saga of Tanya the Evil/Youjo Senki, and while she is OP, a big part of the story is that it doesn't really matter since God hates her and a single soldier can not win a war even if the soldier wins every battle they're in. Like most ideas, it can be done well but the execution lies with the skill of the writer.
 
Does anyone know what changes they did with the volumes of pokemon Sun and Moon in comparisson with the magazine version?

As far as I know, the volume releases for SM are unchanged compilations of the magazine chapters. The manga only gets volume additions in the full releases that have numbering continuing from RGB. The next release for that version, volume 65, should be the end of the ORAS arc and start of the SM arc, but it's been delayed for a couple years now, supposedly over some disagreement between the author and editors over the volume additions for ORAS arc's ending which still have yet to be resolved.

For me at least, Watanabe is consistent of how giving troons representation in his work. The second clip was posted here before, I'm too lazy to find original post.
Carole and Tuesday anime was in 2019. Mermaid troons were exposed for "mismanagement" few years later. Sometimes, universe can be quite funny beside all shitty things happen.
Second thing that is funny to me, they pick Yuichi Nakamura to voice the troon. Couple decades ago, he voiced a cross-dressing idol, Ringo, in Uta-prince. More or less to me "how troons think they look like vs how they actually look like".

Missing another anime girl(s) role from him.

It has just come to my attention that there will be an Anne of Green Gables anime called "Anne Shirley."

Anne of Green Gables holds a very special place in my heart, so I will most definitely be checking this out. Can't be any worse than Netflix's "Anne With an E," which was cancer and I hated it.

I also just discovered that there's a new Rose of Versailles anime coming out. That 100% has my interest as well.

It's definitely better than whatever Netflix produced. Give it a shot.

I have no doubt about that, but in addendum to my previous post, the new series is so rushed/poorly paced. They're trying to shove multiple books and events into a runtime less than half of the 1979 series and it shows... Akage no Anne took 13 episodes to get to Anne breaking her chalkboard over Gilbert's head (great moment), meanwhile AS does it by episode 3. The characters are so bubbly and reactionary it completely takes you out of the fact that the show takes place in the 1870s. The old series characters, especially the adults, are measured and look and act stern, i.e. reserved and period appropriate. The new show simply doesn't have the time to represent 1800s people are they actually were.

The way Marilla acts when contemplating keeping Anne is a great example of this. Akage no Anne's Marilla is subtle in her reactions, you can see the gears working in her mind without the need for in-your-face storytelling.

Meanwhile Anne Shirley's Marilla literally gets in another woman's face like she's going to fight her - something a proper 1800s woman would Never Do, especially to a complete stranger.

The new series doesn't have to runtime to be subtle, and that's a big problem for the pacing and authenticity.
