Portugal also has super low birth numbers. Hopefully the situation changes before governments impose laws or something. The situation would have to be really dire for that to happen though.

the amount of times I thought "that's a Eva reference!" ruined the experience a bit. I sometimes wonder how many of the references people attribute to Evangelion are from older shows. Hell, I get the feeling many of the people that deride Darling in the Franxx for copying Evangelion haven...

Axiom Verge : Bought this for PS4 for a cheap price with high expectations and they were kind of met? The game play is fun, by the the end of the game you can basically fly through the map, which is super satisfying, the soundtrack is this fun electronic sound and the story is unobtrusive, but sati...

I remember reading one say, as an example, that watching the show is like trying to read a novel with every 4th page missing. Did I male a mistake here? Tomino is humble in general, him apologizing doesn't mean that much. In regards to the "novel without pages thing" , part of the problem...

Response to robersora in spoilers. the closing statement of Episode 15 implied that the only way people can be happy in forming male-female relationships. I took that to be specific to Hiro and 02, not a universal statement. The show has gay characters, why would it apply to everyone? Granted, it co...

Thematically, I'm still not really sure what it's striving for...? I get a feeling that it wants to sell us a kind of sexist view of the world? I mean Ichigo FINALLY came to her senses - how dare she had her own selfish motivations! Finally she submitted to the will of the one man that counts, beca...

Yeah, here we go, time for the turning point. They were humans all along is super cliche, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. This episode practically confirms it. Still, it's all about the execution. This episode could have toned down the CG a bit though. For me, Darling in ...

Gundam NT has been confirmed to be the next UC Gundam anime coming soon: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-04-20/gundam-nt-unveiled-as-new-uc-anime-set-after-unicorn/.130645 I'm not liking those character designs at all when compared to Unicorn. Still, it's the same writer, so it'll probab...

I like it too! It' a good comedy! I'm not sure if the creators intended for it to be a comedy, but in the end it doesn't really matter.

Really? I felt the action scenes were poorly translated: I'm talking more about how well animated and choreographed they are. I know they're not particularly realistic, but I don't think that would have really fit the tone of the show, either way. They are a flashy, funny and nonsensical affair. Th...

The season is over. Finished while I was on a train somewhere in Europe. Now that I have catched up, here are some thoughts on some of the anime I watched. Violet Evergarden never shacked off the feeling I had when I watched the first episode. A very pretty show with bland direction and writing most...

I still enjoy the show, though. I love me some well executed trash. <3 my expectations for it going forward are a tad lower I think it's too late for the show to be truly great So this is how one feels when you like a show far more than nearly everyone else, weird. At this point I'm fully convinced...

I can't believe it. He made my favourite Ghibli movie(princess Kaguya). We just lost a legend.

RIP

So, I'll be traveling to a lot of places tomorrow: Oslo, Vienna, Paris and other places and I won't have access to the internet while I'm doing that(not like I'd go to the internet even if I could, that's not why I'm travelling). Maybe I'll still log in tomorrow morning bu I don't know. So, see you ...

People are still bawling over Violet Evergarden Episode 10(and yeah, it's one of the better episodes so far) but I'm sitting here just thinking about unread emails because of Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho episode 12. The anime isn't over, but this episode was the climax. I'm not a crying mess or anything ...

Apart from the last, it doesn't seem that anyone here is watching any of the airing series I am , proving that my tastes are out in left field somewhere I guess, as they seem to have been for the past year at least (did nobody else watch WaSuYu/YuYuYuS2 ?). I'm surprised, though, that Chaz hasn't p...

A.I.C.O.: Incarnation : I struggle to find the words to describe this anime. Aside from the basic, I mean. It's an action anime with above average animation. Other than that, what is there? The characters are basic, I wouldn't call them one dimensional, but there isn't that much done with them. The...

^^^ I think the reason One Punch Man and Mob Psycho are well regarded is mostly due to the excellent animation. Other than that, all you have is a decent story(a bit above average in Mob Psychos case) and a couple good comedy moments. Not bad anime by any standard, but far more well know than you'd ...

Happy Birthday robersora!

That hurt more than I thought it would.
