There's gonna be a WWE anime

Was only a matter of time tbh. If we get ourselves a crossover of older wrestling characters like Tiger Mask and Kinnikuman together (and possibly the girls from Wanna-Be's if it has an actual following) on top of real-life Japanese wrestlers such as Yoshi Tatsu, Ultimo Dragon and Hayabusa (and even IRL Tiger Mask), I think that'd be fun.

When did they sell an anime to Crunchyroll, anyway? No date's given?

It was mentioned first in today's WWE business call.
 
So I've just finished watching the first episode of to your eternity and damn it hit me right in the feels.

There are many piece of media that are made to be emotionally manipulative but, to your eternity does it in a way that feels natural.

Oh yeah, this series seems like one of the more popular ones out there but I wonder if it just gets carried by the art. When I tried it I got as far as the black one getting rapey out of nowhere to just drop it cause it felt like the same old tropes all over again.
 
New episode of Spider Isekai doesn't look like shit like the previous one. Really, the saving grace of that godaweful animation was that it was the human subplot so nobody gives a fuck. I'm guessing that the heroine gets trapped in stasis for 15 years so she'll meet the heroes in the cave, and either her mother turns into the demon lord or her alternate personalities gets corrupted to become the various bad guys. Thought I really want the heroine to commit Arachnid holocaust.

TBH, the art in the manga is bland and can be mistaken for every other BL. Only the figures for Kurose (black haired one) has a unique design, and is the best part of it. I think the hype is from the BDSM-theme. Most fujoshi is fat and mentally ill girls. They see themselves in Shirotani and want to be dominated by Kurose. The BDSM-theme makes it easier to imagine yourself in the story.

The part of him getting rapey and cutting Shirotani out of nowhere were weird af. But it's not unheard of, that some people get into these type of jobs, just to gain easy access to vulnerable people. Since you dropped it early, I can say that he was rapey as a kid too.
 
Waiting for my copy of Zombieland Saga to come lol. I know the 1900s lady and the one that Kotono Mitsushi plays didn't get their own backstories yet. Any progress with second season lol.

Pre-ordered the rereleased Ace Attorney season 1 anime.
I love AA. (That sounds weird) I know it's kinda shit from what I heard but like.....i played all games except Apollo Justice. So it's not like I'm missing anything crucial. But I'm excited to see Ini and Dee and Morgan. And then next season Dahlia 'God Tier Villain' Hawthorne

No progress yet, but there's some theories about Kotono's character. Will spoiler it just in case
When Junko appears in the OP there appears to be some kind of debris floating around which might allude to the fact she died in an airplane crash and when Tae appears there are biohazard symbols. She may have died in a way that actively prevents her from "waking up" properly.
 
Haven't been watching a lot of anime as of late, but I have placed an order for Serial Experiments Lain (heard lots of great things about it!) and FLCL (for some reason, Hulu only has six episodes of the OG series) as a birthday treat for myself. Can't wait to dig into them soon.
 
Came back from watching Demon Slayer Mugen Train.

IT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD AND I CAME BACK CRYING LIKE A BITCH. 10/10 was so worth it to go to the theater to see all of that action on the big screen because I know damn well my TV wouldn't have been able to do it justice.
I had a rough day and going to that movie made me smile and I am 10/10 buying it when it comes on DVD and rewatching the fuck out of it. The SFX for the breathing techniques were great, the only kinda weird thing was the CGI on a certain demon, but outside of that it was a breath taking experience that I would love to experience again if the price tag wasn't $60 between me and my mother . (I know the movies gotta make a profit but FFS.)

If you do go keep this in mind:
- If you go see the movie please have your shot or keep your mask on all the damn time because social distancing was FUCKED at my theater. instead of closing off every other seat, they closed off whole ass rows and then like people just started jumping over the tape and sitting down the theater did nothing to enforce social distancing. They did try cutting off the ticket booth but people kept coming since fandango enforces the "if you have an online ticket you are guaranteed a seat" thing but yea this- was ridicules' so careful those who are immunocompromised or non vax'd people are going to sit next to you, and fill up the do not sit areas and even sit on the fuckin floor please be safe.

- people will not shut the absolute fuck up. For the most part it was quiet, standard fair nezuko does a cute thing we all go awwww a funny haha we all laugh, a cool scene we cheer etc, but some people wouldn't shut up the entire movie. Maybe it's cause I rarely go to movies as is (and I only plan to go to the Jujutsu and BNHA movie if they drop where I live) but this really bugged me.

- There's quite a few scene's where it flashes pretty quick where you could get nauseated? Not worthy of an epilepsy warning per say, but since I know some people are sensitive to that shit keep it in mind.

Idc if I get trash cans, top hats, or puzzle pieces but it was wild seeing how everything went down from walking into the theater, and then leaving.

Never apologize for enjoying something. Unless it's like...cannibalism. That's bad.
 
I went to my local vidya shop and snagged the absolute fucking classic Arcadia of my Youth, so now I have been binging anything Harlock related and in my off time, I started rewatching Inuyasha. If anyone can tell me when to watch the movies in relation to the anime, I would appreciate it. Inuyasha is a clusterfuck.

I also came back from watching Demon Slayer. People were fairly quiet where I was at other than clapping when the credits rolled and softly chuckling at the appropriate scenes.
It was very enjoyable. The CGI was noticable, but it didn't bother me much. It really upped some of the battles, definitely worth watching imo. I was surprised to see it got an R rating.
Going to a theater with covid seating is pretty weird, and I saw a few cosplayers too.
 
How the fuck is Demon Slayer not up in torrent sites? You'd think once it hit the usa, some theater owners would let someone copy the film for crack money.

Thanks for the recommendation, seen the first two episodes and they are a blast. The opening suggests that there's going to be a ton of body horror in it.
