I finished watching all 12 episodes. I thought the story was pretty good. It seems a lot like Gundam. I thought the animation was done very well too.

I've only had time to watch the first episode and so far I would say that my feelings towards it are pretty lukewarm. But I'll watch a few more tonight and we'll see how things go.

I watched them all and enjoyed it. What was the deal with
Hoshijiro's scan and it being 15% off? Was there any significance behind it?

Speaking of Hola Unblokcer, I recently got a chromecast and decided to cast Netflix from another region and it's not letting me do it. I can cast the browser but I would rather cast Netflix itself. Does anyone know if the other VPN's work or if there is a setting I can change so I can watch Netflix from other regions on my TV.

^Maybe try and change the settings of the router itself?

Edit- Forgot Hola is an extension. Try ad-free or unblock. They have DNS settings for routers.

Can't change chromecasts DNS so it doesn't work. Sucks...

Just watched Blood Brother on a whim...

Wow. Absolutely floored by this documentary. This is one of the if not the best piece of media ive ever watched. So honest and the emotional rollercoaster without being left feeling guilty. Please everyone watch it. I promise you will enjoy it and possibly reevaluate your own life.

I started Knights of Sidonia on Netflix. I'm sure this has been spoken about to death, but it has some big story beats that are similar to Attack on Titan. I read that both mangas came out in 09, so is one considered the 'first,' or does no one really compare them like that?

Did people know Pacific Rim was up in Denmark? Might be on the other Scandanvaian countries too, I'm not sure.

I watched it through HBO Go and I found it to be boring. The CGI is downright amazing, but that is the only thing it really has going for it. Come to think of it, I think I finished watching it.

Sounds like some Pentagod shit

On Knights of Sidonia: Where does it fall on the scale of anime tropes/fanservice? I hate that shit, but I love mecha and I love space opera so if y'all can recommend it to me on that basis, I'll watch it.

I'm a mecha fan, and I'm enjoying the series so far. It's not like Gundam/Evangelion proportions, but it's definitely an interesting series.

But what about fanservice? Already in the first episode I saw some titties and generally sexual themes that make me wary when dealing with anime. Does that stuff end up not being a big deal?

Do Americans have a way to access content from the FX channel without a cable subscription? I REALLY want to watch The Strain when it starts.
I'm from Australia, I have no idea if Foxtel down here is even getting the show but I don't want to pay their ridiculous pricing anyway.

I just checked and it seems FX is handled like Fox is, which is to say they require users to log in with the Cable Provider accounts to view the content.

Watched Journey to the West by Steven Chow (Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer) . It dragged a bit in the middle, but it definitely had that Steven Chow feel. Decent action and CG, plus an absurdly awesome ending. His movies kinda all follow the same structure, so if you want more Kung Fu Hustle, this is an alright movie. I'd give it a 8/10 if your a Steven Chow fan and a 6/10 if you're not.

There's a few fanservice-y parts in the show but, thankfully, they're pretty short and few and far between. Overall I thought the show was okay, nothing spectacular but pretty interesting and I'll be watching the second season.

Was The Job supposed to be the Cop version of Rescue Me. 5 minutes into the pilot and I notice besides Dennis Leary like 5 characters that had a role in Rescue Me

Edit: So it was a decent show, but by the time the plot thickens it reached the point where it was cancelled(19 eps) ah well. Some laughs were had. Also further looking this show pre-dates Rescue Me. So it seems like the people banded together after the The Job was canned to form the same concept of a show but make it based on firefighters for Rescue Me. By seasons end I recognized about 8 or 9 people that had some kind of role from Rescue Me in The Job

^^ This. They hit a few anime tropes that are a little unnecessary, but it's nothing crazy (i.e. the naked characters you mentioned. They don't put emphasis on it, it's supposed to be taken as an everyday thing). Like I said, a decent series, nothing mind-blowing.

Season 1 is good to great. Season 2 is fucking phenomenal from beginning to end. Just perfect.

Season 3-5 are rough with some gems here and there. But season 2 is one of the most perfect seasons of anything.

I'm always amused when people binge watch a fresh season of a show and then are surprised to learn it's going to be another year before the next season comes out.

My wife is this way with every show we watch
