By the way, earlier I mentioned that I recently finished watching an anime called Golden Kamuy. Have you heard of it?

Xenomata Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 So um... I've been putting Made in Abyss on the backburner for years now. Always looked interesting, but I just kept it as a just-in-case-I'm-ever-bored emergency. Well I got bored and I decided to watch it. All 13 episodes of what I now know is just season 1. So my thoughts: What the fuck did I just watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I finally got around to subbing to Crunchyroll, and I'm really impressed with Eighty Six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciphertul Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 I can't wait for season 2 of Komi and season 4 of Overlord. Komi is supposed to start in April and Overlord is in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really is a good show. That reminds me that I really need to finish watching it (they had to release a couple of episodes earlier this month for some reason after leaving things on a cliffhanger that definitely did not come across as an intentional cliffhanger, and I haven't gotten around to watching those episodes yet). I've mainly still been watching the brand new anime Love of Kill, but I also recently rewatched Golden Kamuy. Honestly, I'm surprised that Golden Kamuy isn't very popular in the west; sure, it is very much a show about Japan (specifically the island of Hokkaido and its rich history), but it is a really good story with some great characters, and it surprisingly has a lot in common with the Western genre. I've seen some fans blame the CGI bear in the first episode for the show not being popular in the west; can one bit of questionable CG really turn a lot of people off a show? Given that it's set in Meiji-era Hokkaido, which is the time and place that the Hisui Region in Pokemon Legends: Arceus was based on, I wonder if maybe that might help the show's popularity in the west in some way; it certainly has sparked at least a few jokes online comparing the game to the show.

Fabulously Olivier Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) The entire reason I subbed to Crunchyroll was to avoid the commercials that broke the player more often than not. But no. The player is legitimately broken. It's actually the worst video streamer I've ever encountered, and it frustrates me that the death of Funimation means that it's going to be the main anime streaming platform full stop. I mean, I can't even watch an episode of Jojo without it hitching every few seconds, with the audio continuining while the video does not. This shit is what one would expect from a third rate piracy torrent, not the premier streaming service owned by Sony of all companies.

Fabulously Olivier Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Right when I started watching One Piece, it got a turn-based open world JRPG announced. What timing, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanguard333 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Well, I just watched the last episode of Love of Kill. It's funny; I originally watched the show out of sheer curiosity as the premise seemed so bizarre that I had to see if the story was taking it seriously or not, and now, here I am hoping that the show gets a second season.

Awesome; I watched that show for the first time a month ago, and it is indeed really good (I've even been recommending it at pretty much every opportunity on this site). One thing I particularly enjoy about the story, being a history enthusiast, is just how much attention to detail went into getting the historical context, and especially the Ainu Culture, correct. Out of curiosity, how far are you into it? I just want to know in case I accidentally say any spoilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you're still in the first season then (there are three seasons, each twelve episodes long, and they just announced season 4). What did you think of the CGI bear in the first episode? I personally didn't mind it, and I was quite surprised to see that apparently a lot of people complained about it when the first episode originally released.

Not great, but at least it didn't take me out of it like truly bad CGI in some craptastic anime (cough Netflix Dragon's Dogma cough).

That was pretty much my thought on it (though I haven't seen Netflix' Dragon's Dogma; I didn't like the game's story in the first place). Apparently one reason the bear was CG was a stylistic choice to make it more unnerving. I'd say it succeeded, though not on the way they intended given how a lot of people reacted to it. Anyway, what do you think of the show's opening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
