Sweet. Another anime to watch and be embarrassed when my wife catches me. Looks pretty cool.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Looks like Weathering with you

I know the feeling. Looks cool though.

Do you ever get past the look of disappointment when they see you watching a cartoon.

Directed by Attack on Titan?

Gen Urobuchi is a bit hit and miss with his stories, but at least in the trailer it looks fun and thankfully the animation isn't trash like in most other Netflix originals (aside from Arcane and a few others)

my wife doesn't care most of the time, I also don't watch anime or TV in general as much as I used to.

It's written by the urobutcher, it's going to be good.

 

[EviLore]

Great to see Uzumaki Naruto branching out into new career opportunities

 

[Little Mac]

Demon Slayer S2 has ruined all anime for me. Now excuse me while I shop online for a Tengan Uzui wallscroll.

I saw it and was intrigued. Saw the synopsis and went wtf? Might be something to check out.

Can’t relate, as I look at people who judge something purely for being animated with a disappointed look.

Like, my own mother who is in her mid 60’s has seen and enjoyed both Paranoia Agent and Great Pretender. And honestly, I don’t really know anyone who looks at animation with contempt anymore. Certainly everyone in my age demographic (30’s) or younger from my friends, family, and co-workers enjoys cartoons and/or anime to sone degree. Even a few of the most jock-looking dudes at work will surprise me when they see my beanie (has the Scout Regiment symbol on it from Attack on Titan) and recognize it.

I'm always down for more weeb shit.

Still remembering you not continuing Knights of Sidonia, Netflix, you fucks. Don't think I forgot about that one!

Even our lord and savior Hideo Kojima commented on the quality of the show and you chose to ignore even the god emperor himself.

Which Urobuchi series did you consider miss? I’ve enjoyed the ones I saw (Madoka, Psycho-Pass) that he did. Hell, the fact that virtually everyone agreed Psycho Pass Season 2 was a huge step down from Season 1, and Urobuchi only did Season 1 speaks volumes. Hell, even something like Aldnoah Zero wasn’t on him as he wrote only the first few episodes and wasn’t responsible for the infamous Season 2‘s opening episode retconning the prior season’s cliffhanger.

Also, WIT Studio isn’t tied to Netflix and they’ve always been solid in the animation department. Still need to watch Vivy, the fights look fucking awesome.

Really liked Madoka and I love Fate Zero (shame the rest of the franchise is trash).
Psycho Pass was ok, felt like the actual story and characters didn't fully live up the the potential of the concept, though I agree it got notoriously worse after he left.

Didn't like Aldnoah Zero or Gargantia but I must admit I didn't realize his involvement with was limited.

Admittedly though, my skepticism is mostly because I thought the animated Godzilla trilogy was fucking terrible (not even sure why I watched all 3).
