What have you been watching in the past 7 days?

I see. Well, anyway I think One-Piece filler used to be better than a-lot of other filler from other series. Most likely. I don’t have as much to go-off of but from the series I know.

I'm sure it's better than Naruto and Bleach's filler. I remember those being horrible, especially Naruto's.

Shippuden's filler is somehow even worse than the OG's filler between the Sasuke Retrieval Arc and when Naruto and Jiraiya leave Konoha.

One-Piece is a series with good filler (it used to be for the most part at-least), but nowadays I heard they cut-out all the filler for slide-shows & reaction shows. Taking a slice out-of DragonBall Z’s play-book.

- Enemy is an Organization like real world (not sure how to explain it but think like NASCAR is an enemy obviously not but there are companies like real-world ones)? Check

I think I get it now that I talked to ChatGPT about this. Essentially like military & institutional greed. I think this was what I was trying to say. You know’m’sayin’? I don’t remember every-thing exactly as it was over a year ago & I only kind-of half-paid attention as it was because IIRC I was doing something else at the same time too (I think) but I think they were fighting to protect nature &/or the island over greedy & evil, corrupt industrial-forces/institutions/military who were trying to use & destroy nature for their own selfish reasons which is another Studio-Ghibli-like thing. A child & their innocence vs evil adults & their greed. chat reconfirmed it.

Also of-course Apis resembled a Studio-Ghibli protagonist. Not only her personality & the fact she’s the protagonist but also just the look, like a cross between Studio-Ghibli x One-Piece.

Also the atmosphere, Chat said Hayao Miyazaki called it Ma. Not only the music which sounded like they used more Studio-Ghibli-esque whimsical music (IIRC when I look at videos on YouTube) but also the quietness, nah’m’sayin’? It’s apparently called ma. When you don’t use music or anything else except natural sounds/nature’s sounds (or sometimes voices too). That quietness is very Studio-Ghibli-like. Even-though Chat agrees with everything anyway so it’s not like it helps.

Also for example the music here, even-though this obviously is a classic track from the TV-series it does seem Studio-Ghibli-esque or not?

Spoiler

Chat is a reliable Nakama.

Hey, in movie 4 Sanji is really good to the child but he didn’t know she was a female yet. When Usopp asks him why he is being so good to the child, he answers with something like “I don’t know”. Later-on it’s revealed she was a female all-along, so Sanji subconsciously treated her better because of that. What?

One-Piece Movie 6 because it was on TV yesterday (but I didn’t watch it on TV). What a great piece of modern fiction. The last half-hour/45 minutes are very unnerving (like for example but IIRC it gets worse when Luffy gets constantly pierced by arrows & with each-one he tries to keep going to the point he also stretches his neck forward in the end). It’s very a very psychological-horror feel including the music in the ending. The lily-flower is creepy AF. Unlike perhaps with some other movies the ending doesn’t feel rushed (as-in the final fight). Yeah Luffy punches him with one punch but it’s build-up-to.

Starting Dandadan season 2.

Nightmare fuel as the children would say today. Don’t worry about it (please).

 

[Symbiote]

Terror in Resonance. 12 episodes, reminded me of Death Note. Wasn't a bad way to kill time on a Sunday.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

Watched a-lot of the first 6 episodes of Chain-Saw you know. This series similarity to JJK is remarkable. It’s like a seinen, more brutal version of JJK. If you even watched the first 3 episodes of either series or maybe 5 you’d know what I mean. Either-way Chain-Saw is interesting too, even-though the MC is a-lot hornier & less like-able than JJKs, but Chain-Saw is more sinister.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

OK, up-to about most of chapter 38. I almost kind-of watched. Not every-thing really though (like most things perhaps that I watch passively). Any-way another series Chain-Saw reminds me of is Psycho-Pass & like I said before it’s like a seinen version of JJK, but more precisely it’s like a more realistic & sinister version of JJK too. More realistic in the sense that if JJK were real it’d most likely be much more like JJK than Chain-Saw (because people are bad) & the protagonist is less a-lot less heroic than JJK.

I don’t know perhaps it’s because a-lot of the same dub voice-actors appear a-lot in these new anime & that reminds me a-lot of each-other.

That’s it for the time-being most likely.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

I got a q. Why didn’t the Urobutcher return to Psycho-Pass after the movie (& only the movie)? He returned for Madoka with the movies, even-though the sequel still hasn’t been out. I heard Psycho-Pass was no good after Urobutcher left, well at-least for Season 2. I heard better things about Season 3. Whyyyyyyyy? When-ever big creators leave their series it seems the original works created by others are always inferior in quality.

 

[Symbiote]

When did Psycho-Pass get a third season? Might have to rewatch it.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

like I don’t know, 6 years ago l0l.

what did you think of Season 2 (if you watched that)? i only watched the movie & the first series.

did the studio kick the Urobutcher out or what?

…if i can ask

 

[SSJ2]

I should rewatch Psycho Pass. I remember rating it really highly when I saw it like 12 years ago.

 

[Symbiote]

I remember liking season 1 and 2, don't think I watched the movie. Probably didn't know about it.

IIRC I thought it was good too.

I heard season 2 was bad. I watched the movie because I heard Urobutcher returned & all the key people were involved again I think. It was a good movie IIRC. The season 2 characters just seemed like back-ground characters. You can literally watch it with-out watching season 2. I did & still understood every-thing. Only thing I thought was weird was that the new person was now all edgy or some-thing.

Should I watch Revenger? I don’t know.

 

[SSJ2]

IIRC I thought it was good too.

How long ago did you watch it?
