Do people overhype Bocchi just because they relate way too strongly with the main character's social anxiety autism? Because, I mean, I get the feeling too, but I'm not gonna put the show up on a pedestal just because I feel it's an accurately comedic interpretation of what extremist social anxiety looks like in a person. The visual gags used to highlight the extent of the anxiety are fantastic, but I'm not so sure they carry the show all by themselves, even if the variety in animation style is impressive.

Having gone a few more episodes in, it's definitely the animation for me. It's surprisingly creative at times.
These random breaks into surrealism are more entertaining than they have any right to be.

Looks like there could be some connection to Dual

There technically already was connection through the mecha. GXP is like a separate dimension where the mech hadn't been put into deep hibernation for millennia by its original people if I recall correctly.
 
Just watched through Nagatoro S2. Better than S1 to be sure, animation went up, still funny as shit, and I'm just waiting for all the color "correction" people to ree lol.

If that's the case, if Seina is reincarnated from Kazuki, does that mean he and the robot are the same being?

I think most people would move from pirating anime to paying for it if there was a genuine benefit for doing so. The only issue is that these companies are incompetent as shit and that there will never be something that paying for anime will ever have over just pirating it. If you want to support creators, there are a million and one ways to do it that don't require you to pay for a CR sub. If you want to watch anime, there are a million and one ways to do so. The only people who willingly pay for CR or any other anime service are people who want to "support the industry" but are too lazy to find any other alternative or people who are just genuinely dumb.

Piracy is also just engrained into western anime culture. If it weren't for dedicated fansubbers and whatnot, anime wouldn't become nearly as popular. It's kind of hard to separate the two.

I've said it before, but man do these new weeblets not understand the herculean effort it used to be to get your hands on bullshit cartoons.
I mean, manga is being sold in normie bookstores, everything can be streamed now, I can't remember the last time I torrented anime or manga, it is so different now it's kind of awesome.

Now that's a new one, and it also sounds like the creator's literally pulling it out of his ass.

Did they release the full season in one go?
 
I finally marathoned Edgerunners, and I was very impressed.
That's how you do a one season anime. I loved the characters, I loved the ideas and themes it played with, the animation was stylish as fuck, and even though I never played the game the world felt really well developed.
And I will admit, I've added I really want to stay at your house to my gym playlist, just in case I need to tap into raw emotion to finish a set.
I would highly recommend this show, even if you aren't a triggerfag.
 
Just watched Tokyo Ghoul's first season for the first time and I don't think I'll watch any more. The protagonist is a pussy and it just didn't click with me. I know he gets tough in the second season but I cannot go on.
Loved Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, so stupid anime lists said I'd like this. Wrong!
 
Maybe try Gleipnir if you haven't @Sparkling Yuzu, it's got a nice guy protagonist-kun that doesn't want to hurt anybody who's flipped around by the end of the first season, with the transition kinda beginning as early as the second episode. The only problem that I really have with it is that there's a 15 year old that pretty much everybody wants to fuck/rape, including nice guy protagonist-kun, to the point that (spoilers for the first five minutes of episode one)
he almost rapes her while she's unconscious after rescuing her because he really likes the way she smells

The aesthetic might throw you off at the start, it's a seinen treating a goofy battleshonen plot very seriously/realistically so when thugs or neglected/abused kids get powers legitimately bad stuff starts happening

I wrote off Tokyo Ghoul as pointless misery porn when it was still going but the author's next series Choujin X is incredible. I think it's more along the lines of what you want. Just the right balance of fun and genuine danger. The protagonist has a lack of confidence but he's still likeable and works hard. Also if you somehow haven't seen/read YuYu Hakusho yet you NEED to do it, the dub is even a classic. Jujutsu probably wouldn't exist without YuYu Hakusho. Choujin X either for that matter. Yusuke is easily my favorite shonen protagonist.

YuYu Hakusho v06 (2005) (Digital) (Lovag-Empire) 029.jpg yusuke finger.jpg 0007-007.jpg

Generally you're gonna hear about how great Hunter X Hunter by the same author is, and it is, but you won't care about the characters as much as you will in YYH.
 
The anime for Tokyo Ghoul gave off the wrong impression of the writer tbqh.

At least, it lacked the funky paneling and art the author is known for. That plus apparently a lot of issues with editors which is why he went without one with Choujin X.

Personally, I'd say the manga for Tokyo Ghoul Part one still holds up.
