First episode of Esca is off to a good start. They really designed the hell out of that dragon for maximum revulsion. Blech.

I'm also watching Zenshuu, but I've avoided talking about it because I can't decide whether I love it or hate it.

Take the most recent episode, for example. The "villain" has lived so long and seen so much death and destruction that she just wants an end to it all, and the MC "cures" her simply by turning her into a bishi simp. "Oh I have a new zest for life so long as I have these pictures of beautiful men to look at!" It's almost a meta commentary on certain types of anime fans. Yuck.

See, having never engaged with the TV series, I thought the movie was alright. At least, I remember enjoying it for the most part. It looked really nice, didn't it? Maybe I don't actually recall any of it and I'm just giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, I'll watch the show.

I could probably watch Escaflowne. I think I've only ever seen the fancy movie version.

My attach rate for new stuff lately has been so grim that I've found myself going back to old favorites as well as things I may have overlooked.

Vintage anime I've been watching:

Air Master
Akagi
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
Kaiji
Monster
Turn-A Gundam

Bo-bobo I was surprised to realize I had never finished. Also, that the manga had a follow up series titled Shinsetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, even though I think the actual run in Shonen Jump from one to the other was unbroken. I've read it all now. You could tell he was running out of steam by the end, but he was at least able to pull off a mostly satisfying conclusion.

Hmm. I'll flag stuff from now on. On this page, only Salem's Lot was yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, everything else was at the theatah, darling!

Super pretty to look at. No real conflict to speak of. Just a nice story, I suppose.

Not only that! In the first episode, it's established that the vampire works as a jack-of-all trades around the family-run bathhouse, and after he finishes scrubbing the tile floors he does a little celebratory dance... and it's just a straight-up Michael Jackson routine! It's like, what are you even trying to allude to here, people? :laugh:

Well that didn't last.

I guess it had been resolved before I even made that post.

Don't know why I started this thread. These could have easily slotted into any number of existing conversations.

First issue of this dropped. Interiors are heinous. Whack artwork, zero titillation. Can't say I'm shocked.

Finally saw an ep and a half of Sakamoto Days. Kind of boring.

That's how I felt back when I tried reading the manga. The show still has me for now, but I can see myself losing interest eventually.

I'm also watching that Vavamva Vamvam Vampire thing. Super weird premise. Also, can't help feeling there's some kind of double standard going on, because if his "prey" had been a girl as opposed to a boy, the show probably wouldn't even be allowed to exist.

The way his "bloodlust" is portrayed by having the front of his pants stretch out cartoonishly as a result of his visibly massive erection, and it's all played for giggles is really something else. I guess it's because we're meant to understand that he doesn't actually want to fuck the kid, just drink his blood? Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż

I watched that one where the old dude isekais into an otome villain. It was kind of good? I'll stick with it for the time being.

Honestly, the most obnoxious character presently is the "protagonist" and how she's endlessly fawning over the MC.

That Mononoke movie on Netflix is some maximum effort.

I will likely never play this, but it's a cool cinematic anyway:

I don't know how familiar you guys are with IIDX, but I was into it hard during the PS2 days. Unfortunately, after that Konami just kind of forgot about the home market, but they never stopped cranking out the annual releases in arcades. So there's like 16 years of beatmania that I know nothing about, and I've found a YouTube channel that has the BGAs for all of them.

Now, I'm frankly amazed at how many songs just have cheap visualizer crap to accompany the audio, but I feel like it makes the odd gem like this one that much more special:

I've begun tuning to the Christmas stations when I'm in the vehicle. These last few years, I've felt like Christmas is here and then it's gone in an instant and I don't even get a chance to enjoy any of it.

This year I'm gonna wallow in that shit for two solid months. :poo:

I've caught myself several times now substituting "hear" for "here", so if you notice me doing that, feel free to point it out.

It's finally happening.

Old brain.

I've played a few hours of Beastieball and fuck is it ever fun. It's basically Pokémon, but instead of having your little guys beat the shit out of each other, here they're beating the shit out of each other with a volleyball. It sounds stupid, but they really pulled it off.

Also, the monster designs evoke Pokémon without being agonizingly derivative of Pokémon. Looking at you, Palworld.
