Cartoons (Part 2)

,

i’ve had this screenshot saved for a long time. i think i was rewatching this fairly recently but got distracted. i love sentaro and characters like him, it’s just my mo ( tough guy with a heart of gold / big bro character ) but like be ready for the ending. i think aspiring to be this cool is a lot to live up to but i still admire this dude anyway. he’s my kinda dreamy.

I never finished watching the anime (though I adored it) but I also recommend reading the manga! It has gorgeous layouts.

Dropping one episode a week.

Giving Chainsaw Man Part 1 a Chainsaw Man Part 1 was a funny joke, shows hit and miss as an adaptation but given it would needed a his and her circumstances approach to make any of it translate properly, I’ll take what we’ve got.

Nearly finished Lupin III Part II and some of the criticisms of the later series being too plot heavy and not character driven are rather funny given how a lot, and I mean a LOT of these episodes tread water for 20 minutes. Mostly fun but I’m glad the later seasons went in a different direction especially when there’s 150+ episodes of this (Knew a lot of the stranger crossover episodes going in like the columbo one but wasn’t expecting the rose of versailles one to be one of the best episodes of the whole show).

If it took them a half-dozen seasons or whatever to get through Part 1, I honestly wouldn’t mind. I appreciate the considered pacing, it adds to the groundedness, especially if they’re expanding on granular daily ritual stuff.

yeah that was the most surprising addition of the adaptation to me

Not enough animes about fujobait lighting cigarettes, grinding coffee and cooking breakfast.

And honestly, cutting the series to date off with him and a feral child bonding over base, puerile but fully justified cruelty is a hell of a punchline and character endpoint on its own.

it’s almost 2am and i’m listening to roundabout and i feel like i’m gonna lose my mind if part 9 doesn’t come out soon

Pacing in the first episode of Trigun Stampede seems kind of rushed but worth it for how incredibly solid that CG animation looks in motion.

so it’s been one year

it was around this time I saw Belle in a movie house and I hated it

I hated it so much that I didn’t watch cartoon for all of 2022

and then the quints saved me

the Quints movie came out in Japan on my birthday, but it didn’t come over to the states until December and then I got to see the truncated version of the ending of a comic I already read. but it (and season 2 in general) were way better than season 1 and John Sword Art Online voicing the male lead asshole actually made the material better

I’m back. I can cartoon again. you can’t beat me Hosoda, no one can.

(Shinkai’s chair fucking movie will be the thing to defeat me)

Trigun Stampede - where is Milly

I demand Milly

if they’re going to go this hard on the acting, I don’t know why they made it 3D but goddamn if it isn’t a massive flex

Bocchi the Rock - yeah the show is good and cool

however it is too real and my response to a lot of it was going from “I have social anxiety.” to “I have social anxiety?!?!”

Love Lab - how can all of these girls be so terminally stupid, I’m into it

god I have so much garbage to go through. I hear the kids like that Spy x Family show with the funny faces? and they made Utena with giant robots except unlike Star Driver it’s good? I have two figures from Back Arrow that I bought randomly and I have not seen a single second of it. I have to finish the fight with Yashahime and Shield Hero and Rent-a-Girlfriend and Uzaki-chan and

wait, you’re telling me there’s a whole goddamn show about a tomboy in love this season?

I will defeat cartoons.

if Hosada could make an entire movie with the grounded feeling and comedic timing of the scene where kayak guy confesses to saxophone girl, he would make the best cartoon movie ever

instead he worked on Digimon at Toei and broke his brain forever and has to say things about The Internet

Hey this Arcane show is pretty good. Between this and Castlevania I’m getting real impressed by these English language animes. I reject outright the idea that League of Legends has anything resembling “lore” and instead prefer to think someone wanted to make a Dishonored adaptation, which is cool with me.

kevin aymeric painted a lot of the backgrounds on Arcane and that was the first thing I learned about it that made me want to watch it.

Aymeric is mostly known for his work on various masaaki yuasa toons
