I was doubting as to recommend Higurashi no Naku Koro (the 1st and 2nd season) ni as you're not fond of horror, but I'd really recommend it more for the mystery aspect (and how it's well stated).

The only spoiler I can give: Season 2 downplays horror significantly.

devilman crybaby:

I love masaaki yuasa, they're my favourite anime director, however, I think this is my least favourite anime that i've seen from them, mainly because of the source material. And mainly because i'm not into action

The animation style and OST for the anime are incredibly good, thing is, while their other works like ping pong the animation or the tatami galaxy are more for older audiences, devilman is just pure raw shounen. The action scenes are a lot more messy than in ping pong, as they're just mostly fluff.

I'm also pretty sad that they didn't allow yuasa to make an ending, since the ending for the tatami galaxy is the greatest ending in anime history.

Now, I do believe that this is one of the best shounen i've seen. I've enjoyed it more than chainsaw man and the others. Mainly as it is not that much focused on the action scenes and the plot itself is nice. I was not the biggest fan of the first episode, but I feel the ending plot twist made me enjoy that start.

so yeah, good anime, doesn't fall in the pitraps of other shounen anime and has an amazing ost and animation. There isn't really anything more I want to say

12th fail


what the actual fuck this movie is actually kino

it's an underdog story of this guy who comes from a poor village, which cheated their way through school and they go to the city to basically become the equivalente of a police officer in india. Thing is that the exam is like stupidly hard

The actual story itself is largely exagerated and not something that could happen in reality even if it's based on a true story, no human being can work 15 hours, study 6 hours and sleep for 3 for a year. You would actually die of overworking. But what the story nails are the feelings. This is one of the most motivational films i've seen in my life, and even if the synopsis of the movie tells you the ending, you still feel really happy for the protagonist at the end.

Again, like the only other indian movie i've seen, RRR, if you look at this film "objectively" and try to spot plot holes or stuff that doesn't work like that or try to make a very concese story, this movie absolutely does not hold, but that is not the goal of the movie. This is all about the energy and the vibes. I don't know if all indian cinema is like this, but I really do not mind it, they're enjoyable from start to end.

The cinematography and acting are peak. This movie uses a lot of shots that lasts like 3 minutes with no cuts and there featuring a lot of characters and movement. The camera movement is very dinamic. For the entire first part of the movie there is basically no shot where there is a fixed camera. This is less common the longer the movie goes for, but I think just having these incredibly well done shots at the start of the movie just sets you in the right mood to enjoy the rest of the movie

This is not a movie like the human condition where there is a just a really banger plot that makes you think a lot and stuff. It's just a really enjoyable movie to watch

Saints row 1 and 2 (dropped? kinda?)

-----

I first played saints row 1, had to emulate it, the game crashed to me like 4 times. When I finally got it to run, it run really slow. This is all an emulator thing but it really annoyed me.

The game itself is an open world go commit genocide type of game, the main story is pretty ass, the voiceover sucks. It's just mainly a sandbox where you can just commit every crime known to mankind

after a while I decided that saints row 1 was just not worth it, the one that was requested was 2 anyways, so I skipped to that one

the game was drastically better. First of all, it didn't crash once, and everything just felt better, the main story was still pretty bad and kinda boring. So I just focused on running around and causing chaos, which I feel it's what the game wants you to do anyways

In fact, in order to advance the main story, you first need to go do random events in the open world, or else, you wont be able to play the main story. On itself I really dislike this mechanic, just let me do whatever, if I want to rush the main story let me, but in this case, it didn't matter too much as I didn't want to do it anyways

The side-events are fun, they're just excuses to break stuff and fight cops, however, after a a couple hours of just doing that sort of stuff it does get boring. So I decided to not really play the game too much more

so yeah, it's a good sandbox game, not so much a good story game. If I was stuck with this game it wouldn't be so bad tbh, I think as a game that you boot up from time to time just do try out some wack stuff it holds.

I don't like the argument of "it's just a pilot", because I'm aware of it, and I think it's fair to judge a show based on it's pilot, since the fucking point of a pilot is to try to sell the show. If no criticism is allowed because "it's just a pilot", what's the point of having a pilot?

+ I think this is pretty weak as a pilot, I think this start is weak all-around, I think chapter 1 for all my favourite shows and mangas is WAY stronger than this. + some of my criticism is about what can the show do in the future. I don't expect them to be able to tell a story about insanity in this hyper kid-friendly format

Well, never said it's not valid just to judge by a pilot, as I have a somewhat more... well, lenient policy for them. Pilots by nature are somewhat meh by nature. I just found it to be very good for just being a pilot made by an independent group (of which I tend to be more lenient to as well).

What I really expect is this to be more of a mystery/suspense show, because if they go to just the insanity way... it might flop hard for me... Solve the damn mystery and we'll be fine, right, Glitch? Don't make this a DHMIS v2 or a generic analog horror stuff.

I have a few criticisms for the characters too, for example aside from Caine and Pomni the rest of the cast was... existing, kind of difficult to flesh out everyone in 22 minutes. Didn't like much how Pomni's stress was portrayed either, it was way too fast, too rushed to be believable and even exaggerated.

Speaking of beginnings, recommend me stuff that has a great beginning. Preferably anime/manga, can be stuff I have in my PTW.

I get that, it's just an independent studio doing an yt thing and it's impressive that they have managed something like that. However, at the end of my day, if I have to choose between two shows, and one is just drastically better than the other, even if the other option is an indie, i'm not really going to watch it. I want to see the things I enjoy the most, no matter if it's indie or not. I do enjoy a lot of indie movies, series, and games, because I believe they're superior than their high budget companions. But I don't think that is the case for the amazing digital circus

you FOOL, I have already read through solo leveling!

it was alright, i'm not the biggest fan of it, I read it half a year ago so i'm just going of memory here, but yeah

The most surprising aspect of this manwha is that it's full color, which is very impressive. But after a while you get used to it and don't think too about it, the art itself is fine. There are no incredibly striking panels I remember, it's just average

The story itself is also pretty simple, a member of the family of the protagonist is sick, they're working as a hunter to make some money, shit happens. They are able to level up their skills, something that should not be possible in that world, so they just become really op, My biggest complain is that this plotline is resolved wayy too early, but due to plot reasons, the guy just continues to fight and level up and becomes very edgy, and I dislike edgy protagonists. I just think the plot loses a lot of force in their second half, they're not really fighting for a cause anymore, they are just forced to keep fighting against different enemies because he is forced too, there isn't really any really banger storytelling behind with an insane message or whatever. The guy is just there being edgy[/spoilers]

The actual leveling process is straight up taken from MMORPG's like many other fantasy stories. And I do think there are some pretty applications for it. [spoiler]one of my favourite scenes is when the protagonist didn't accept the daily quest rewards on purpose, that way. In one fight that they were about to die, they were TPed out of the fight, and they were able to save their life because of it. I thought that was incredibly neat, and I was excited to see that technique be used again in the future. Something that didn't happen.
One of my complains is while the protagonist learns new tricks, the insane ammount of power-scaling just outshadows it. The final fight is not a culmination of all that the progonist has learned, it's just doing their basic attacks thing but now that they are 100000% stronger

It's also purely action too, so while a lot of characters are introduced, barely are explored since it's more important to see how sung jinwoo nukes those enemies.

from my point of view, solo leveling was just pretty average with a couple things I did dislike, it's not something I would recommend to people

Genocidal Organ (I finally finished it!)

This is a military fiction mistery book. The premise of the book on itself is pretty simple, simplifying A LOT, there is this bad guy called john paul and our protagonist has to stop them from like commiting more genocides

The most interesting part for me isn't the story itself, but what topics are covered in the story, as it explores deeply the nature of war. It makes the argument that in the future war will become so expensive that no ammount of control over the natural resources will make war worth it. However, war will still happen due to things like patriotism

I agree with the point than even if wart isn't worth it, it will still happen. War IRL isn't really an objectively right thing to do. Even if you take the morality out of it, a lot of wars do happen due to factors like religious extremism.

It also disscussed how war, murders, and other clearly awful things, can be seen as a positive in the right circustances. Our protagonist is a member of a government organization, which does make seem their action less bad. however, the acts that they're commiting in order to stop john paul are also on that same level. John paul is still worse, but the protagonist develops PTSD midway through due to the things they're forced to do and see

This is all twisted with the character of john paul, if war isn't objective, it can be seen as a positive thing, and is a part of human nature (they give the example of war and conflict happening on uncivilized tribes). Under what moral grounds are they convicting john paul? aren't they just acting human?

The answer to that question is very complicated, and the way john paul was made to stop murdering people at the end of the book is not appliable to every single human being on earth. The book does not exactly give a concrete answer, but it doesn't really need to, just raising that question is enough IMO

I liked this book, for me, i'm not the biggest fan of military things, so it was a little bit difficult to get the motivation to read the book, but I can see the appeal and I can really appreciate what the book does. I also have to say, at the end of the book it talks a little bit about the life of the author, and damn, I really feel bad for them

Lived a difficult life it seems, graduated art college at the age of 33, had to work as a web designer. Finally published a book in that same year, people really liked it, they were nominated for awards, and then they got cancer and died shortly after, at the age of 34.

The monet they fianlly were able to follow their dream, became a successful author, started talking with bignames, they just get cancer and die. That is just fucking cruel, I feel so bad for them. I hope they lived a happy life at leaast

there is nothing to analyze here, it's a weird crime comedy with buff indian men punching each other in the most dramatic, over the top and epic way, filled with comedy and musical numbers. There also many musical numbers. I'm generally not a fan of action, so wihle it was fun for a little while, i'm not sitting for this entire movie. I enjoyed RRR but that was an expcetion, I don't really know why I got into RRR and not this movie, but yeah, RRR sweep

Glad you liked it :) The end is kind of weird and honestly I didn't understand everything the first time I read it. It makes more sense after reading Harmony since they mention it, even though it's never explained in detail we just know that something happened and we can assume that something is what happens after the end of Genocidal Organ. I'm not sure if it's really intended by the author or if it's just fan speculation but it does fit very well.
Also yeah the author's story is very sad.

I have watched both higurashi (s1) and 8 mile

-------------Higurashi--------------

Full disclosure, my brother has been recommending me that I watch higurashi since like 6 years ago, so i'm biased against higurashi just because I have a mental block on the anime. I've just told my brother that i'm not interested in watching it so many times that actually watching it now is harder

So I finished higurashi (s1, original, 2006, not the remake). And while I got adviced that I watch the second season too, I just don't know if i'm really feeling it

Higurashi a mistery/horror anime where the protagonist moves into a town and learns that every year, during a festival, one person dies and another disappears. The story is told in a very strange way. The 24 chapter season is divided into many arcs, we have the question arcs, and the answer arcs. In the question arcs it will basically question your sanity as you wont understand shit (you can piece some stuff together but like you're missing 80% of the information). And then, in the answer arcs it gives you another perspective which should hopefully clue you in what the fuck happned

The anime doesn't show you a full chronology by the end, so you have a lot of pieces of what happened and it's your job to order them and learn what happened in your head

I don't dislike this format on itself, I think it can be pretty neat. But it really didn't grab me. The fact that it's horror doesn't really help that much either. There is a bunch of gore and pretty painful scenes. The scenes aren't that bad IMO. I have seen a lot worse in stuff that isn't horror. But I think in higurashi it was least tasteful than in those other things I've watched. The gore in higurashi feels more for shock than anything else. The idea is that you go "oh wow why did they do that????????" and you really get into the story, but my reaction is "oh come on I don't really want to watch this shit". But that is just me not liking horror or that type of scenes.

An example of a more gory scene that I like is that one scene in harakiri where they force a guy to commit harakiri with a wooden katana and it's like a 3 minute long scene of the guy struggling to kill themselves and slowly bleed out. Thing is, in harakiri, that scene was the climax of that part of the story, it was a representation of everything the movie wanted to say about honor, cruelty, and justice. How they can force someone to do something that inhuman in the name of honor yet the same samurai will lie to avoid a similar fate. Or dekalog 5, which had a lot of very bad scenes but that was as movie critizicing the death penalty.

Thing is that the combination of the question/answer format and horror is just not for me, as it happened that I was watching the anime, I had no clue what really was going on, I didn't have the information yet to really solve anything, and the fact that there were pretty distasteful scenes that didn't help me get engaged into the story, and only made the chapters that were already harder to watch even harder. I understand that for some people that gore helps them get into the story but i'm not them

What I do enjoy is that the story on itself isn't overly conveluted or anything. Once you learn of one of the plot twists that happens near the end of the anime, a lot of the things just begins start making a lot of sense. The story isn't hard to understand, it's just that the way that the story is told creates confusion.

You could argue that every mistery thing is kinda like that, where it just hides information to create the mistery, or not, there would be no mistery. But I think there is a difference between having just information that the protagonist doesn't know yet, and making them have to find it. And just telling the story in a way where a event that maybe happened very early in the story is told very late. I don't dislike on itself. But it's just combining that with horror that makes me less engaged on the story

the actual characters are fine, the actual plot is really neat, it just that the way that it was told and the other elements that were added into it amde me less engaged in the story, and even if Ienjoyed my time with higurashi, I don't think I want to continue it


-------------8 Mile--------------

8 Mile, AKA that one eminem movie

this movie would probably have been better if I was into rap. The movie is about this guy who is not eminem but it's inspired by eminem and played by eminem and how they had a rough start in life, but managed to pull through. So an underdog story about rap

The film is all about the living in the hood experience™, I don't know how accurate any of this is, I assume very little. It's all about the street cred and the reputation.

This movie isn't anything new, eminem isn't really an actor either, it's just if you enjoy eminem this movie is probably good but idk. For me it all felt very foreign to me, I can't really relate to anything that happened or whatever.

What I do enjoy about the story is how they humanize the protagonist. Eminem in this movie is a depressed mf who is trying to prove themselves constantly and overall being a douchbag, yet, they have a daughter, and it's on those scenes with the daughter that they show that while they're doing all of that stuff. It's more a result of the society that they were forced to live in, more than how they are as a person, I really appreciate that.

I think I said Higurashi S2 focuses way less on horror and more on character development and solving the plot points. Yes it's still violent (although lighter) but I really recommend to continue.

Also, they made animation better too.

season 1 only, wont watch any more of it

I have never played cuphead, but it doesn't seem like you needed to do so, I quite literally have 0 things to say about this, it's just a kinda nice children show that tries to imitate old disney animation. It was nice I guess but i'm not the demographic for this show

also in the middle of watching this I said fuck it and whatched la sociedad de la nieve (society of the snow in english) and holy fuck that is a banger movie you all should go see it

I was editing it while you made this post, I always update after posting, it's just that the last time I forgot



also, next: akira



also I have already played learn to fly, I played that game as a kid


--------learn to fly (franchise)--------

learn to fly is a game where you play as a penguin that just wants to fly. Thing is, since penguin dont fly, they have to build a cannon or a rocklet (depending on the game) to fly. The game is actually just a glorified clicker. You upgrade your rocket, send it, get coins, upgrade the rocket, send it again and get more coins this time

there are also adchivements and stuff that are pretty interesting, and multiple gamemodes and shit. It's just a timewaster number go up game, but damn, when I was a kid I played that game all the time. It's a game that has a lot of charm with the graphics and the little minigames for each launcher and stuff, so yeah, one of the better flash games IMO

--Akira (anime)--

fun fact: my dad really likes this movie

Akira is a very, very influential work of fiction, it's on the same tier as blade runner and that sort of stuff in the fact that it basically created the cyberpunk genre, and it's still pretty much amazing by today's standards

the idea of akira is about these series of experiments to make hyper powerful human beings, the way it actually works is really neat and I really enjoy it. Thing is, one of them goes kinda wrong and a lot of shit happens

I feel that in akira they had that idea of the energy and what akira was and then they built the world around it. The technology is advanced therefore the world must be. While this is a cyberpurk work it's not the hypercapitalist dystopia that we're used to. The worldbuilding is just great, the world is a certain way, therefore this character has these politicals beliefe therefore they act in a certain during a certain situation.

While akira is action, and I don't enjoy that, the action in akira is really really well done, and I don't mean that the sequences are really well animated or whatever on itself (which they are). But that there is never action without a reason, in the later half of the movie, the action is the showcase of the power of akira, which again, has impact an impact on the world.

I really enjoyed akira, and I WILL read the manga now
