It's all because M+ fucked up & the best boy of the series is now on the clenches of yaoifags.

Wait, where is this other one from?
I read it here.

Also, here’s the word used.

Uramichi Onii chan is probably the most relatable character, other than being unable to sleep unless drunk or sleeping pills.
 
I didn't know that Magia Record has its second season. The episode itself was actually really good, we go back to the original cast of Madoka, Homura and Sayaka, with Homura being in the mid stage of her "transformation" from a dorky useless girl into the badass we know and love/hate. You can see Homura is starting to get shrewd about the situation, but she's still learning her power and seems to have a problem connecting to anyone besides Madoka.
The big problem is that I really don't want the show to end with a massive retcon to the OG series, since it will pretty much invalidate everything that happened until now. So I hope the writers don't go that route.

Also new Jahy sama and she's so adorable you can't help but smile all the way through.
Well in one of the manga side-stories
Madoka ends up impaled like a kabob so Homura just fucking leaves and the remaining characters live happily ever after in their own timeline.
so I don't think we need to worry too much about this becoming some kind of recon. The creators have already done trail runs of alternate timeline shenanigans.

Double bonus if you read the original manga that was made back in 1995 for the U.S. It was really fun.
Another good 90s anime is the OVA called Golden Boy. It's only 6 episodes and definitely worth a watch. I wish there were more seinen animes. Kinda tired of the highschool aged setting of many characters in anime/manga.
 
I could totally see

That's the kind of vaguely horny language he would use to tell Deku he admires him, but Mineta is exactly the kind of guy who would look at so much porn he gets into femboy trap shit.

I'd believe it either way.
Basedboy Mineta with that Sigma Coomer Mindset. Also I forgot that Trap Goku results in Drip Goku.
 
To appease my namesake, I finally watched Digimon Last Evolution.

With my only real qualm with this film being Sora not doing anything, this is the true sequel. Digimon Tri was seriously pointless because nothing plotwise was brought back in this movie save for a quick one-second cameo of Meiko and Meicoomon, and the thematic element of "DigiDestined have to grow up" was handled SO much better in Last Evolution than in six movies. Keitarou Motonaga (and Yuuko Kakihara for the series composition) can go fuck himself for wasting three years with his bullshit.
I know this is an old post but I wanted to add my opinion on Kizuna, as a lot of stuff in it bothered me,
- The whole “Digimon leave their partners” rule that came out of nowhere.
- The main villain just being a copy of Maki from Tri.
- The fact that the movie does not retcon the epilogue, making the whole message ponitless since they eventually get their Digimon back. This is the same issue I had with the reboot plot point of Tri.
- Meicoomon being alive and well despite Tri making a huge deal out of having to mercy kill her, making her death feel cheap.
- Agumon and Gabumon getting unique forms that came out of nowhere and look awful.
- The 02 kids being wasted.

Basically my biggest issue is that Tri and Kizuna both don’t commit to their endings. As I said before the epilogue is still canon, Meicoomon comes back, and the reboot was temporary. It makes the impactful moments that are supposed to make us sad feel cheap.

I know this is an autistic take but the movie itself felt like the creators trying to tell fans who were there since day one that they should grow up and move on from the series. The message itself wouldn’t have been such a bad thing if they didn’t decide to create an Adventure reboot aimed at the current generation of kids right after Kizuna came out.

Apparently that's what made Hiroyuki Kakudo leave the project, but I'm willing to give it a pass that that was something the DigiDestined believed was going to happen before something later down the road proved it wasn't permanent. It wasn't the first time the DigiDestined would get separated from their partners, they thought they'd never see each other again after Apocalymon was defeated.

- The main villain just being a copy of Maki from Tri.
She might've been a copy, but she was better fleshed out and had an actual conclusion instead of just drowning in the Dark Ocean in a "fuck you, audience" moment.

- The fact that the movie does not retcon the epilogue, making the whole message ponitless since they eventually get their Digimon back. This is the same issue I had with the reboot plot point of Tri.
See the above. I think there's some correlation there.

- Meicoomon being alive and well despite Tri making a huge deal out of having to mercy kill her, making her death feel cheap.
The cameo was so quick and pointless that you could literally take out that couple seconds of showing the two of them and no one would've thought otherwise. Helped that none of the plot-points in Tri came back in Kizuna.

- Agumon and Gabumon getting unique forms that came out of nowhere and look awful.
Yeah, the designs aren't that great. They look more like they belong in Frontier than Adventure, but Frontier had better designs still.

- The 02 kids being wasted.
Unfortunately. I'm at least glad they did something, but that's probably why they're doing another movie that'll supposedly focus on the 02 kids. Or something.

Kizuna I don't feel like it misled the audience (too much). Tri sucked that much ass.

The message itself wouldn’t have been such a bad thing if they didn’t decide to create an Adventure reboot aimed at the current generation of kids right after Kizuna came out.
I think that was the intent, too, but Tri and the numerous merchandise released of the Adventure kids by Bandai say otherwise, and so it's definitely a mixed message. Taking it at face-value, I get it, and it's natural for the characters, but as a message to the fans as a whole, it's disingenuous. But at least Kizuna didn't spit in our faces like Tri did, which is why it sucks it had to come out as a result of Tri.

I completely agree. It was entertaining but thoroughly retarded if you try to think about it. The whole ending is undermined by 02's ending.

Golden Boy has the best comedic timing I think I've ever seen, animated or not.

Probably the only reason it isn't meme'd around more is because it's own personality overwhelms whatever it's being reused for.
 
BTW, guys, what's your take on RETRO CRUSH? It hosts several old anime for free on their YouTube channel. That's how I discovered Iria: Zeiram the Animation. Really cool, I'm yet to watch the movies, which it serves as a prequel to.
