What yaoi pandering? Everyone in Goldern Kamuy is as straight as an arrow.
There are plenty of panels that are effectively buff men wrestling in the nude. It panders to a different subsection of yaoi fangirls than the common uwu soft bishonen looking one.

Tsurumi has a fuckload of men in his Division that are on the edge of homolust and daddy issues. It’s mostly in a joking manner or used to play into how manipulative Tsurumi is, but it’s there.

The guy who bangs Inkarmant does so after getting dosed on aphrodisiac and wrestling men while naked.
 
4Kids revisionism rearing it's ugly head.

Think it's just because some of the more modern censorship of anime and manga have been so obnoxious and malicious compared to 4KIDS' goofy censorship to appease the FCC, but 4KIDS was pretty important in bringing more anime to America. Hell, if it wasn't for them, I might not have become the anime fan I am now, who knows, Digimon I think would've still come to the States with or without Pokémon's influence since Saban Entertainment existed well before 4KIDS did.

TMNT 2003 was pretty kino, though, even if it went on too long. Fast Forward had potential but the season's second half got cut to try and salvage the ratings and brought about the "soft reboot/retool" Back to the Sewers season.

You know you can be optimistic so much when you can look at these fictional characters in these two trailers and tell that the voice actor fits the characters in question, and you have yet to see the full anime.

That’s how you know how good these two are going to be, especially with the latter.
Damn, I'm actually kinda shocked this got a manga. This is one of those rare times I wish the anime takes it's own route, due to how plain shit the manga turns into.

Oh, I’ve read the manga for 100 Girlfriends. It’s surprisingly wholesome.

A teaser has been posted for Season 3 of Yuru Camp, but the changes to the studio and character designs don't look good:

Im a pretty big normie here as I havent watched much anime or read much manga but I just watched Black lagoon for the first time and I watched it in tandem with Batman TAS. I dont get whats so great about it, I find the first season okay but the second is such a slog, I couldnt make it through and found myself watching TAS more cause I liked that. It feels like a standard popcorn anime, like a hollywood action movie, mindless fun. Revy and Eda are pretty sexy but thats it, theres nothing there, especially stuff like the Vampire loli incest was just creepy and retarded.

Never seen Black Lagoon but you should watch The Big O, always kind of reminded me of Batman. The dub and the sub are both great.

I like Batman from a comics perspective not necessarily a media perspective. I get what I want from Batman from Berserk and Fist of the North Star. That was just an offhand mention to show how boring Black Lagoon was for me, I ended up finishing TAS before I did Black Lagoon (50 something episodes vs 25 episodes). I see lot of people mentioning it as one of the best anime out there and it feels so mid? Its like a Michael Bay movie done better than Michael Bay with some bits of John Woo inserted in. Idk if it wasnt for me cause the anime I like are stuff like Gunsmith Cats, Doomed Megalopolis, Dragon Ball, Ninja Scroll, Akira, Berserk 97 stuff like that.

I found Black Lagoon boring too, started reading it because of all the praise and dropped it pretty early on. I'm not a big action person in general but the plot and characters just didn't do anything for me. There's barely a story at all. Also I couldn't stand Revy, they tried way too hard to make her this edgy badass.

I like action but it should have some meaning behind it like in Jin Roh or something. If its meaningless operatic action and stunts then it should be done live action like John Wick or Extraction, making it animated reduces the impact a ton.

Where on earth are you seeing a lot of people talk about Black Lagoon as one of the best anime out there? Aside from you nerds, I haven't heard anyone mention Black Lagoon since like 2008.

I'm autistic as hell for noticing this, but why did they give Rin the same dopey, rounded eyes as Nadeshiko? Rin's eyes are suppoed to be flat across the top. Blue arms! Blue arms!
 
Oh yeah i guess the new season started. whats the shortlist of recommendations so far?

nvm got my shortlist of anime to check out. at least half will be pruned off before the anime is over
