Well, the narrator was pretty specific when he was referring to HIS story and how watching anime caused a certain emotional response. Sure, it can be applied universally to all types of media, but he was really specific in regards to Anime.
I actually get what he means; I've only watched anime for a couple years now and I've felt emotions and had reactions to animes I've watched that I never had watching traditional western media before. Case and point, I never once cried or felt like crying watching a any tv show or movie prior to watching anime. Not sure why, but sometimes the presentation has a certain way to resonate emotionally that cannot be duplicated through traditional media.

Okay, that's exactly what I mean.
but, but, but, I have watched other forms of media.. Granted, not a whole lot since I've been working 2 jobs for a long, LONG time now, but, I've still had experiences with traditional media that did not invoke the same emotional response as anime.

Kado: 0 and 1
Is there a reason this keeps jumping from 2D to 3D animation, I'm getting distracted trying to catch the bits when it returns to 2D especially as episode 0 seemed to be mostly 2D animations!
A very intriguing show, kind of wished I went blind and not know the giant cube was going to decend onto Haneda airport, as the first episode totally makes it look like a straight political drama. Though in playing it so straight, the use of Dr. Shinawa who is pretty jarring to the rest of the cast, I guess they wanted a quack for some light humour. Picked up and will watch for more giant cube of doom.

I think it's because most people tend to view anime as trash and something you'd just watch when you're a teenager.
Like cartoons but worst.

Sounds like I should just leave the show at 3 and out then.... It was already on thin ice and I really don't want to waste my time. Besides, I have too much work to do and the show already puts me to sleep...
I am still trying to wrap my mind over the fact that they have this steampunk inventor who just casually invented a mech suit thing that increases the body strength of humans where heavy lifting is no longer a chore and oh it is compatible with old people. I swear to god this happens and all they can think of is how this suit would work well with local arts and tourism.

To this day I still haven't watched it. But it is something I do plan to get around to at some point.
I posted it because I thought it was a nice video and it's nice to see his (in his own words) "brain fart" videos he does every now and then.
I think he did one for Your Name a few months ago...
Me too. Wondering when NA will get the chance to be able to watch it in theaters or whenever it comes to blu-ray.
I didn't expect anything less from you, DTL.
Sure... But I think he is trying to get to why anime can invoke a powerful response from people and why people ignorant of anime should not look at anime as this thing that only children watch, but rather, stories that can have emotional and powerful impacts on adults.
Gigguk, I believe, is trying to convey what anime is to some people and how it does have meaningful stories to people. Even though there are people out there who don't believe that "cartoons" can have impact like that.
It's clearly a thought that he wanted to expand on after seeing A Silent Voice.
I think that is what Gigguk is getting at, yes.

Kado is indeed neat and worth watching. I don't feel the need to give it extra props since folks are already giving it enough attention.
As opposed to something as underwatched and underappreciated as ID-0. Speaking of which, here's my short write-up:
ID-0 episode 3
Well, that's one way to deal with the military showing up to ruin your day. Beyond that, the mysteries involving orichalt, Ido's memories and the strange girl keep piling up.
It's interesting how an odd little show like this is apparently attempting to address some of the ground previously covered by Ghost in Shell and its ilk, to be sure, but from a different position and in a more blatant yet arguably more dehumanizing manner. In that famous manga/series/film, the main concern was generally the set of implications derived from what happens when your consciousness is uploaded into something as wide-reaching and abstract as a global network or into otherwise visibly normal android bodies (aside from that one tank in SAC, IIRC). Even in that sort of context, it's easier to feel daily acceptance and sympathy towards people like the Major when your face isn't so obviously a piece of metal. Here in ID-0, we don't have a full picture of the popular perception yet (and maybe we won't see too much in the long run), but remaining permanently stuck in robot form is definitely not welcome, resulting in both a criminal act and the implied loss of your rights. Hardly the first use of this variation, I know, but I like it all the same and want to see how the nuances are handled within another type of story.
"Basically, you don't exist in this world."
Talk about being meta. In any event, this series is still totally fine as an Outlaw Star-esque space romp with potentially darker implications beneath the fun-and-games. Or a slightly more philosophically-inclined version of Bodacious Space Pirates with cool robots.

Exoskeletons aren't really that farfetched anymore. There are several in Japan designed by students to assist the elderly and some are already used in Korea for construction/dock worker tasks. They were also used to help with the Fukushima cleanup

While I wouldn't say I'm against romance stories, whenever I'm reading or watching a romance story I cannot help but roll my eyes through my skull. I don't take very well to all the heming and hawing romance stories go through with the characters or how everyone acts all emotional and irrational over what I view as insipid things. That isn't to say I don't like emotional stories, but when the emotional story is romantic I find it hard to like.
Not to mention many romance sub-plots in stories have also ruined what I would have viewed as a generally good story. 8th MS team would be my anime example.
I am not super keen about Rick fawning all over her, though it's pretty much as expected for the genre, but it seems her interactions with Ido (and maybe the others) will be worth checking out.

Akashic Records
Love Tyrant
Saekano S2
Armed Girl's Machiavellism
Sword of Oratoria
Dirty Little Secrets: (that will get dropped at a moment's notice if it comes to that)
Eromanga-sensei
Tsugumomo
Horney Priest
Haven't quite figured out, but still watching:
Clockwork Planet (will probably move to junk food)
Grimoire of Zero (will probably move to junk food)

the only tolerable character in eromanga is Elf Yamada
the rest can die in a fire
imouto can stay in her room during a 8.0 earthquake and get crushed to death by a 5 pound piece of rubble, the frail little shit
niisan can slowly starve to death from a lack of sales revenue to buy food
class rep can go get diagnosed with Ventricular tachycardia, unsuccessfully attempt treating it for a few years before it turns to Ventricular Fibrillation and a sudden and deserved death
The editor can live too i guess

Pretty damn close to my list, but I haven't seen KADO yet. That may change tonight.
I'd also add Yowapeda, WorldEnd & Akashic Records. Enjoying all of those too.
There hasn't really much changed in the last days, except that I'm moving Alice and Zouroku to mediocre, and I've started watching King's Avatar.
Re:Creators spot is fairly shaky right now, I hope the next episode is some dumb fun again.
There are basically 4 AOTS-level shows for me, so this season is pretty great.
Great: MHA2, Kado, Bahamut2, SukaSuka
Good: ID-0, The King's Avatar
Potentially good but with caveats: Re:Creators
Inexplicably above average junk food: Bastard Instructor
Medioce: Alice and Zouroku, Grimoire of Zero
Junk food: Armed Girls Machiavellism, Clockwork Planet, Sword Oratoria
Dropped: Sakurada Reset
On hold: AoT S2[/QUOTE]

I see, so you find romance in general too sappy. That's unfortunate, but you're hardly alone in that.

Anyway, for what I'm currently watching this season, I would say I adore Eccentric Family 2 and Tsuki ga Kirei, like Laughing Salesman, and find Kado somewhat interesting.
