I doubt you'll be able to turn back the tide of disappointment...

Hi!

Don't worry, I'm not really trying to convince anyone. I just have to give my thoughts, as the person in this forum that liked it the most. I already wrote it, I'm done, it's out of my system.

Oh wow, people are still talking about this shitfest? huh And guess who's going to talk about it now? Okay, okay, this is going to be hard. My feelings about Darling are confusing, I've been thinking about it for a month, but I'm going to do my best explaining. I'll just start by saying that the sh...

Yo, I'm back. Didn't find any statues, but I did make many friends, so that's good.

It feels good to be back. Hope I didn't miss too much.

Now, it's time to make that Darling in the Franx review.

I'll be leaving tomorrow to two excavations in semi remote regions of Alentejo. Naturally, I'll have no internet. I may pop up back in the middle of July briefly but I'll only be done at the end of that month.

So, yeah. See you guys then.

GUNBUSTTEEER!

Yeah, I saw that one coming.

I'll be leaving before the final episode airs though, so that sucks. Probably will only watch watch it in the middle of July or so. Still, I'll look forward to seeing everyone's final thoughts on Darling when I return.

I dig your rejection for Seasonal Bullshit to watch the good stuff. :kaworusparkle: I still watched plenty of seasonal bullshit tough :ehh: And boy, do I have almost nothing to say about this season. It's not because there isn't good stuff out there, in your post you wrote about Hinamatsuri and Lup...

My grandfather wants to cut a lemon tree in our house(my parents and my brothers) to make space for some bitch that rented the house a couple of weeks ago. Despite said woman having plenty of parking space a few meters away. Obviously, I value the lemon tree over that woman's life, so I'm against th...

Darling Episode 22: I wish there were a couple more episodes. The events placed in this episode needed more time to breathe. I suppose having everything happen at the same time does have its own suffocating effect, but I still would have preferred something else. In other news, were going from Macr...

There's a jazz festival going on in Lagoa, near were I live, and I went to the first day and was blown away by the second group that played, "Fly Magic", so much that I went and bought the CD after the concert. It's not like the first group was bad, they were great too, but the other guys ...

Dominion : Late 80's OVA where a new recruit joins the tank police and wrecks havoc through the(almost alien in design) town. Not much to say here other than it being really funny at times and keeping a light tone trough most episodes. As expected of OVAs from the period, it has some wonderful anim...

Ah, no: the monuments (especially the monuments of National Heroes and Their Victories) are kinda revered here. That's good. One time in Évora they vandalized the First World War memorial, nearly drove me insane. That said, I don't think the average person is even aware it's a memorial, despite the...

which are often treated here as festivals of National Pride (TM) and then inevitably change into festivals of National Complex (TM). You'd think that football fans would hesitate to support a sport where the players make more money than the average people could even dream of, but no. Do they also v...

Yeah man, I get you. Darling was divisive from the beginning, I'm not expecting everyone to like it. I just got invested into it more than usual.

but recent mecha anime just... they feel like there's no soul in them anymore. Aside from Gundam there's barely any mecha anime at all these days and what little there is is mostly 3D nonsense. Darling is pretty unusual in that it actually has drawn mechs and is of a decent length. Last 2D mecha an...

Please no, the cars honking all night would be insufferable. I had enough headaches last time we won. Let Japan win or something.

A question (and it is genuine): Is anybody invested in the relationship between Hiro and Zero Two at all? Yes. They're kids in love, so naturally you get the super sweet moments and little else. They don't have time to develop into something different. And I'm fine with that, their romance doesn't ...

Finished Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon completely. All trophies and endings. All in Veteran mode, naturally, my pride wouldn't let me pick the lower difficulty. That said, even at it's hardest moments, it still can't compare in difficulty to the old Castlevania games. What a great game, I'm sure i...

According to Wikipedia Trigger isn't even involved in this show since the start of the second half... I'm not sure I trust Wikipedia but there hasn't been many action scenes at all since the mid season climax, so that isn't surprising. Still, I thought the animation in general(not just specific sce...

Episode 20:



Sure, why not? And here I thought I knew how this would play out but I guess not.

Man, this anime has been a great ride, I don't really want to leave!
