One of my finest bar conversations was explaining all of this drunk to two other weebs at 1am. I agree that it should be pretty easy to follow but I think some of the political stuff you might miss the first time.

At least it's not The Wolf Brigade

I dunno, people always talk about it being confusing or hard to follow, but I've never really thought that? Ultimately, there are three major groups of characters: the Colonel and the weird old psychic kids, the lady that Kaneda is kinda in love with and her terrorist friends who are trying to help the one old kid get away from the government, and the biker gang that Tetsuo and Kaneda belong to [although only those two are really that important]. The conflict between the former two drags in the biker gang, owing to Tetsuo having latent psychic powers, as well. Tetsuo's powers eventually go out of control because they're too strong, and because he resists being controlled by the others. Then everything really goes crazy when Akira, the big bad psychic man, gets woken up. But he's mostly cool with just undoing the damage that's been done and then taking Tetsuo off to another plane of existence where he can't cause anymore harm.


Oh is that what happened? Because all it seemed like to me was 3 new characters every 15 minutes and really aggressive and confusing editing and this dude goes from a crying bitch on the street to like....seeing teddy bear mechs and then he's in space for a sec and why does he have a cape all of the sudden and then he's half cyborg and then he erupts like Clayface and squishes someone to death on accident and then he becomes a planet?

He's a snotty little punk who gets cool psychic powers so he thinks he's all great but then his powers run wild so he has to go live in space.

Watched Thunderbolt Fantasy after seeing some people shilling for it on /a/, it was surprisingly fun. The story was kind of like your typical Chinese fantasy stuff, but it still managed to be interesting. Obviously though the main draw is the puppetry stuff coupled with the special effect which manages to look simultaneously great but weird. I definitely digged it on the visual front. Now begins the wait for season 3

Is Gantz worth watching? I tried the first two episodes a few years back and thought "there's no way I can watch this, it's too jarring" but I feel like my brain might be sufficiently fucked up enough for it now.

GundamInfo is putting up the Narrative theatrical film for free on YouTube March 13-16 if anyone wants to watch it. I missed the one night screening here in the US last year due to a work event so I'm definitely taking advtange of it.



Don’t think I ever shared this from our 2018 Japan trip. Couldn't get the kid to do it with me.

Seconded.  The author's newest manga is even more fucked up, BTW- it's about a porn star who can become a naked giant and she fights (what else) alien invaders trying to destroy everything.

Watched the first 3 eps of GITS: Stand Alone Complex. Both seasons are available to me via Hoopla but only 10 downloads per month means I can't just zone out and binge and not retain any of it. Seems pretty good so far. I liked Arise and SAC is supposed to be quite a bit better or more well received so a nice 5 month watch of this should be neat.

"SAC"

I liked the first season, but it kind of fell off during the second season for me. I'd like to finish watching it but I have no idea where I left off since it was years ago already, lol.  Never saw the movie either.

The SAC movie was alright. Not as good as either season, I thought, and the ending kinda felt off, but it was still better than Arise.

SAC and 2nd GIG are absolutely fantastic. Still got my DVDs of the seasons and also the Blu-ray compilation films for each season as well as the Solid State Society Blu-ray.

I really hope the new Netflix series ends up being good since it's using the SAC moniker.

It's been a year since I've seen Ergo Proxy I think and I'm really in the mood for another gritty, serious show like that.

SAC looks good. I could finally finish Monster...

Oh, man, tell me about it. And literally all the backstory being told during the quiz show filler episode :lol

Some of it was good in an epic trek kind of way... but I felt so fucking blue balled when they got to the city and had to go right back home. Great anime regardless. Plus I like slow paced things, helps me relax even when the show is super serious. ...Maybe I should rewatch Mushishi :ohhh

The first Mardock Scramble movie is pretty good. 2 and 3 are kinda wack because the latter half of 2 and first half of 3 is a card game at a casino, and it really drags.

Blade of the Immortal anime? It looks good. I'll watch it and report back.

Also I haven't watched any new Gundam in years. The last Gundam I watched was Builders.

Any new serious seinen shows from the past year?

Oh right, a Vinland Saga adaptation. Should be good.

Is the tone of Cop Craft as silly as that op?

Feels like so much modern seinen is over the top. I guess the super serious shit of old is more of a financial risk. Doesn't feel like seinen anymore, though. 10 years ago you likely wouldn't categorize something like seinen but here we are.

It's definitely not as over-the-top as the OP, but is somewhat less hard-boiled police drama than it is burnt-out cop dealing with his new partner who is an elf from another dimension.

I didn't keep watching but new BoTi was good. Much better than the one they did a decade or so ago. It's heavily stylized which is a good thing. I mean mainly in terms of editing. They make what seems like a small budget work.
