There's good and bad just like any genre. Re:Zero, for example, has some stuff in it that rivals Berserk in sheer ****uppery as it's story progresses. But I'd say quality is the exception rather than the rule.

Also, Now And Then, Here And There is really early 00's and something of a cult classic. Different pedigree of quality overall.

Been rewatching The Woman Called Fujiko Mine over the last few days, and I still can't even be bothered by the wacko plotlines 'cause the animation is just so purty

That's where that gif came from? Cause I Googled it and got Lupin III and didn't believe it for a second. The animation was modern gorgeous and I wanted it but wasn't about to be hornswaggled.

What, the bong rip? That's from one of the movie spin-offs of the series.

The Batlord · 11-16-2018, 04:07 PM

So is the series actually good?

Oriphiel · 11-16-2018, 04:16 PM

If you like ridiculous amounts of tits and bullets and a weird art style, aye

The Batlord · 11-16-2018, 05:05 PM

****in nice.

The show that started it all, way back in '79.

And you know what? For a '70s anime about big robots, it's actually way ****ing better than it has any right to be. Serious without being boring, funny without being retarded, and meaningful without being overwrought.

The Batlord · 11-30-2018, 02:16 PM

Hell ****ing yes. I believe I've said the same. I haven't finished the series which is like 50 episodes long and I hear it has too many episodes but in general it's much better than the Gundam series you saw on Toonami.
