The moe art from the 90's-00's were something huh

Are chinky voice actors ending their careers over infidelity and degeneracy going to be a thing? Because since last year guys like Takahiro and Tatsuhisa have been ruining their lives over cheating.

What is funny though is that Namikawa Daisuke survived pedophilia accusations and is still getting major roles.

Really makes you think.

The irony. Kunhiko saw Naoko romanticized a relationship between a college student and an underage high school student and said "Hold my sake...."

That wasn't Naoko, that was the 90s anime's idea. In the manga Mamoru is a 17 year old high school student, just 3 years older than Usagi. Speculation is the anime made Mamoru college age so he'd have his own social life instead of always hanging out with the girls.

Wasn't this guy trying to force Usagi and Rei together against the will of everyone else in creative control?

It's a rumor that's never been confirmed. Although the anime did seem to not like Mamoru. In both arcs of Sailor Moon R Usagi and Mamoru we're kept apart until the climax.

Got 11 episodes into Shin no Nakama before dropping it. The unexamined narou cliches were piling up and there wasn't enough of Ruti to carry me through.
 
There’s this manga series I’ve been recommended to read called Shy by Bukimi Miki which is about a nervous and timid novice superhero trying her best with the responsibilities of being a hero and being a representative of Japan.

So far it’s been a pretty good read considering I’ve had a background with the hero genre when it comes to older Marvel stories, however there’s elements in this story you wouldn’t expect through the complex conflicting emotions and moments of slice of life for a chapter to go over some character work.

However, when it comes to My Hero Academia I’ve definitely get into discussion of how the recent chapters drag in the X-men conflict with the prejudice and whatnot very late into the story, and the case of some Shonen readers being more vocal as per usual about what happened, but I don’t really bother looking into much of it.

After months I finally decided to watch some anime, picked up Gunparade orchestra and went in blind, finished the first episode and it is quite a refreshing sensation of not knowing anything and get throw into an unknown world.

The mecha looked cool, the monster too and the school/academy vibe with lots of different kids too, reminded me a bit of Infinite Ryvius.


Watched 3 episodes and I liked, the name was GunParade Orchestra and not march, dunno if it is a sequel and there is another anime with 12 episodes that may be related to it

My buddy and I enjoy watching anime we see as "stupid fun" (think Baki) and riffing it or just being taken aback by how over the top silly it can be. Well, while looking we found this nifty little series called "Drifters". Now that was fucking fun, I wish the author didn't produce his shit at the pace of a paraplegic snail doing a marathon in the Antarctica because I need fucking more of it. Someone needs to lock Kurata in a basement and lace all his food with speed till he finishes it.



This is all I will say.
Nobunaga Oda and other historical and folklore figures get isikai'd to Dungeons and Dragon's land,
join Hitler's 5th Reich, and fight The Anti-Christ.

Been on a SHAFT kick lately, mainly watching their earlier SoL/Comedy stuff. I watched (S1) Hidamari Sketch for the time, am re-watching Pani Poni, and will probably start Zetsubou-sensei before long. I bring this up because the other day I came across this post on twitter, sharing some concerning posts made by a current animator at SHAFT:

Seems the studio has fallen pretty damn far since the early 10's.

Have you given Hellsing (Ultimate) a shot? It was the series Hirano authored before Drifters, and its considered the poster-child of the kind of anime you seem to be into. If not, it's well worth looking into while (fruitlessly) waiting for new Drifters chapters.
