Adi Shankar, the executive producer of the Castlevania animated series over on Netflix scored the rights to create a Devil May Cry series.

And, he's gonna try to blend both universes together...………...somehow. Calling it the "bootleg universe".

I watched the original anime a while back and it was pretty good. So, with Shankar running this iteration, should be great too.

Yeah that is serious boner potential right there.

"Finished" Devil is a Part Timer. Highly disappointed. Not because it wasn't good, because it was. But it ended up being one of those short (13 eps) anime that was popular enough to warrant being continued, but ends up getting stuck in limbo. Like Deadman Wonderland. Really sad I seemingly won't get a conclusion unless I read the manga which tbh isn't really my cup of tea.

Wonderland wasnt popular. It tanked. Got "popular" when it was dubbed but US audience size isnt big enough for a revival.

Loved the show tho

Absolutely was and also felt it was one of the rare successes in walking the line between either being an action series or a comedy series. It handled itself well on both fronts without ever going off too hard in either direction.

I've always heard FMA:B is far superior to the original, of which I was a huge fan. But I've also heard it is very similar and is basically a slightly altered retelling of the same story for all intents and purposes so I have never been able to bring myself to watch it. Is it different enough or "more better" enough to warrant a watch?

The first third of the show is the same. The major differences start when the origional show got in front of the manga around the half way point. The ending is much much different and very much better in every way. Its the definitive version without question.

I loved it. The absurd tonal shifts and juxtapositions make it my cup of tea. I would have liked How Not To Summon A Demon Lord about as much, if it didn't go full harem.

I had someone who was both cute and in the middle of selling me a new phone suggest Ergo Proxy. I was kinda getting into it, but had to stop watching because of the whole Funimaton/VRV divorce. Does anyone know if it stays good, or does it trail off and get stupid halfway in like SAO and make it not worth the effort to track down?

Finally getting around to watching season 2 of Castlevania, and holy shit do these people love the series.

Every couple minutes Im marking out over something. Stuff from Curse of Darkness, Symphony of the Night, Lament of Innocence, etc etc etc

This show is great regardless of your experience with the series, but if you DO have a lot of experience your gonna have an ear to ear grin the whole time.

I also love the focus on characters and story. I thought this show would be a fun but brainless action romp, but it's got a lot more Game of Thrones in its DNA.

I don't know where else to put this but the new She-Ra is alright. Doesn't really push any SJW malarkey other than certain aesthetics and character design. And everybody seems to be gay. Like, confirmed straight people seem to be rare. It's kinda funny how gay this world is. Probably why the population looks so sparse.

Adora's rival Catra is a standout villain. Adora herself hits all the tropes associated with being a chosen one, though still given a shocking amount of balancing traits. Not only is she not a Mary Sue, an episode pokes fun at her starting to think she is. Several episodes humble her, though that might be a case of 'Benching Superman' since given who her traditional brother is - she is still justifiably OP.

On the elephant in the room: A few references are made to Eternia, established as some other planet. And obviously Greyskull is in her morphing time chatch phrase. But no; specifics are not expanded upon on Eternia, Greyskull, or He-Man. In fact Adora is rebooted as
SPOILER: show

so she doesn't even need to be Adam's sister anymore.

The fabulous horse with the rainbow wings is back and I shit you not you will not believe in what way he will be used to satire, and who he satires. I legit laughed out loud. I'm not even sure he's actually satire, but I laughed.

As with a lot of content from female Progressive writers all the female characters kinda come off as socialite valley girls, but I'm not the target demo so eh. I'll live.

Decent show.

I've started watching SSSS.Gridman. Seems v weird so far. Dunno how I feel about it. It's like a bunch of anime clichés of differing types all stuck together. Fortunately it has one really interesting hook, so I'm going to give it a bit more time before I decide whether or not I like it.

Yes. And Voltron and Power Rangers. Its crazy. But the whole set up and why its all happening and the aftermath of each event...those things are very intriguing. I'm gonna keep watching it as it comes out for now. I needed some more current shows to watch anyways.

Gridman SSSS might be in a bit of trouble. Seems another anime animator is accusing TRIGGER of plagiarism and it's pretty blatant too.

Adora's rival Catra is a standout villain. Adora herself hits all the tropes associated with being a chosen one, though still given a shocking amount of balancing traits. Not only is she not a Mary Sue, an episode pokes fun at her starting to think she is. Several episodes humble her, though that might be a case of 'Benching Superman' since given who her traditional brother is - she is still justifiably OP.

On the elephant in the room: A few references are made to Eternia, established as some other planet. And obviously Greyskull is in her morphing time chatch phrase. But no; specifics are not expanded upon on Eternia, Greyskull, or He-Man. In fact Adora is rebooted as

Decent show.
I actually just watched this, and am aligned with most of what Kt's analysis is. Kinda funny about the needle burial on the gaydar given that people lost their shit about where Korra ended up or the supposed "homosexual agenda" of Steven Universe, and this seems like a "fuck you, we'll turn it up to 11!!!" response to all that. Hits every part of the spectrum from Project A-Ko undertones, to Kill La Kill intimation, to yeah totally Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune clear cut couples. That sailor dude is like the only serious 100% straight guy around, even with his over-the-top flaws... he feels like he was written to be the straight version of how gay guy characters were written to be in the 80s. Backing off, though, it seems kinda natural, given the fact that the ratio seems to be about 20 to 1. There are barely even guys IN THE BACKGROUND in the entirety of the show. And because of Bo's voice I immediately think of Wallow from Bravest Warriors, and as such, imagine he goes in every conceivable direction.

Outside of that, I did like the callbacks/easter eggs sprinkled around, like the Grizzlor cameo, or Razz making a comment about Loo-Kee "liking to hide". I was also one of those who was initally kind of down on the redesign; not because of the outcry of "where be the tits?" like many others, but she looked unimpressive from the promo pics. There was no scale. Seeing in scale the fact that she essentially She-Hulks and grows about a foot and a half taller, becomes meatier than Adora as opposed to just a palette swap, it looks a lot better in action than out of context. Also, here, EVERYONE knows she's She-Ra. It doesn't remain some "secret"; it is revealed to pretty much everyone at all times. Also, the transformation sequence seems to be a tad more Sailor Moon inspired than the OG source, and thankfully isn't done all the time.

To me, this feels almost on par with the '02 MotU reboot in that it makes the world and lore make a bit more sense. This She-Ra isn't a girls' "me too" for jumping on the He-Man cash cow like in the 80s. On that, as for the previous spoilery thing
SPOILER: show
it is possible in the future there may be that connection made, be it to Adora or one of the previous iterations of She-Ra, that there was some relation to He-Man. Hell, the Lighthope seems very much like Cortana as made by and in the image of The Sorceress.

If I had to make a guess this might be leaving the door open for possible crossover depending on how the next run of Masters of the Universe goes, what with the upcoming movie and all. Might be some wiggle room there to add a connection later, or leave it out 100% and continue doing its own thing, but it seems to be a deliberate hole left there either way.


Also, Hordak is kinda badass in a really understated way. He doesn't really do shit, but everyone is shook. They *show* the type of ability and fear Shadowweaver instills, and she "knows better" than to directly test him. He isn't flashy or speechy, but everyone is aware that he is in charge for a reason. I dig that.

I'm down for more of this, if they clean up some of the writing. Yes, I understand I'm clearly not the target demo, but the only problem I had with the show as a whole is how quickly some of the plot tone changes from "this show is for little kids, cut us some slack" to "kids are smart enough to understand and follow" and back again. On one hand, you have a 22 minute lesson learning bout of melodrama with something that should be easily solvable but, you know, for kids, so we can't make it complex... but then turn around with deep effects of manipulation and abuse that spans for the whole season and makes some of the relationships not as simple as hero vs villain. Seems like they should be able to manage that better, but it wasn't a total deal breaker for the watching... I mean it has some flaws, but it isn't like it was season 1 of Iron Fist.

Catra is great. Bo seems to be the perfect concoction of 'Gay Best Friend Zone Lvl.Gameshark'. He appears to have all the hall passes a straight guy on the hunt would never get from females (unlimited access to bedrooms at any hour). Even the one counter point gesture with the prom thing was very clearly painted as friendship with no hetero signs. Though the one time later on they could sell him as canon gay, it's played for laughs and he's kinda annoyed/preoccupied.

And again other than aesthetics and undertones none of this is shoved down your throat. No pandering, no lectures outside of the usual cartoon PSA morality. She-Ra is alright.

Out of anime territory completely, but so did Sam from Clarissa. Dude had ladder access to his neighbor's bedroom, and her parents were okay with that.

Which he'd have a point if all of anime hasn't done this at some point or another. The Akira drift, the Brave Sword Stance, other famous scenes have been 1:1 redrawn and nobody has raised a stink. What's about Gridman that's got this guy all in a tizzy?

I dunno, I think he just wanted them to run it by him first. That seems to be what he is upset about the most from his comments.
