No, they aren't ever actually evil. They can't sell to gaijin if it has a twitter nono word happen.

I'd actually say the he's anime Tom Hooper and Stephen Daldry, or whoever you consider to be the most oscar bait director you can think of.
Japan has its own version of film industry shits jerking themself off for a night like we do with the oscars and academy awards, iirc the two oldest/biggest ones are the Mainichi Film Awards and Japan Academy Film Prize.
Miyazaki has one 2 best pictures from the film prize, Princess Mononoke in 1988 and Sprited away in 2002, and every ghibli movie he's worked on after 2007 when they made a best animated film category
For Mainichi, he got 3 best pictures, same two as above plus totoro and at least 7 in starting all the way back with Castle of Cagliostro for best animated film.

How can one assassin mother be so superior?

I recently decided to rewatch Konosuba! Season 1 and 2 since I never got around to catching the movie or season 3 when it aired, and I have to say that I forgot how fucking funny this show is. It's like It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, except the characters have redeeming traits instead of being total shitbags. Darkness is still the weakest of the 4, but the show is just as fun as I remember it.

Is the movie and season 3 still good?

You guys got any recommendations for shows set in historical periods?

If you can get past the fucking bear in episode 1, golden kamuy
I'm familiar with the Yokoyama Mitsuteru manga version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but I don't know how the anime version holds up
I remember liking Rakugo Shinjuu when it came it, but that was years ago so don't know how well it holds up
There's a rumor that Historie is getting an anime, but the main source is one of those anime leak accounts, so 50/50 chance it actually happens
Kingdom is a maybe, I've been meaning to pick it up but haven't gotten around to it
Not much for stuff like ancient greece or rome, think the only options are 2 versions of Thermae Romae and a cheap cgi one called Cestvs about a slave fighter around A.D 50. One of these days someone needs to make one about either Augustus or Aurelian.
Maybe Master Keaton, although that depends if you consider 80s Europe and Japan (and the odd ruin or two) a historical setting
Elusive Samurai was alright, I had some complaints about a few things later in the manga but the anime hasn't covered any of said parts.
 
Are mangapark and xbato/batoto hosted on bad servers or am I getting regionlocked or what?
Nearly every chapter I try to pick up now I end up with broken pages.

Kuzuma's voice actor does a great job.

I didn't like it, started getting hit hard by too many characters and plot elements, and the cast being sort of capable and appreciated. It was good while they were bottom tier living in stables.
