Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [Week 47] - eviltoast

Previous Thread | Next Thread

Hello fine people of this lovely community. Like normal, this thread is the place to collect all your random anime thoughts, hot takes, and questions. Some example conversation starters:

  • I really liked Rent a Girlfriend and was wondering what to watch next?
  • My brain is too smooth to understand Evangelion. ELI5?
  • My Neighbor Totoro is a trash movie. Allow me to count the ways…
  • Is there any news about a season 2 of Usagi Drop? I really love where the manga goes after the anime and wanted to know when it might get adapted.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers, I wrote a guide for you to reference.

    • I caved and watched the final Attack on Titan special subbed. Did not regret it. I do notice that the VAs are more “shouty” in Japanese. The German dubs I regularly watch are more similar to everyday conversation.
    • Rewatched Suzume no Tojimari subbed. It’s better than dub in terms of VAs. It could not salvage the dialogue-writing though, which is a step down from Your Name and Weathering With You. I wonder of Shinkai’s next movie would depart from the Your Name formula.
    • Frieren: Lügner looks a lot like Johan Liebert. Remove the horns, and he’s genderbent Violet Evergarden.

      I have previously written about some of the issues I had with Suzume. I think it is a visually stunning movie. I just wish it was better written.

      As for Usagi Drop, I really enjoyed the anime and looked up the source. However, when I looked it up, pretty much all I found was threads warning or memeing about it. So, I looked up the synopsis and realized that I was fine with just the anime.

        I agree with your takes there. I’ll add that whether someone thinks it is a masterpiece or not hinges on how well did the themes resonate with their personal experiences.

        To add to Frieren, I’m interested to see how well it would hold up against the fabled FMAB-related rating bombs.
