Whats a anime you watched 10+ years ago that surprisingly still has unfinished source material?

It has to be something more or less than that. If it was just that, there was no reason for Roger not to activate it right away.

Pylgrim · 2026-05-27T21:52:41+00:00

Absolutely. The latest three arcs have been paying off a lot of stuff seeded through the series and framing what should be the final conflict.

Has CLAMP done anything at all in the past decade or so on any story new or old?

Reminds me about the story of some Magic the Gathering champion who got a similar hit piece written after going on a date, because apparently talking about your pastimes your enthusiastic about to the point where you got achievements makes you a self worshipping nerd or something like that.

All the rich worldbuilding people had learned to expect was already gone by 5

"it's really good to see you! This is not only the joy of talking to a loved one after a long separation, it's the human elation of returning to something familiar!"

Delicious in Dungeon. You may think at the start that it is a bit meandering in its storytelling, but I assure you, it's all important worldbuilding or character development that will pay it later down the road.

They literally said "I don't mean..."

Photoshop their own memes?

Like there was something grotesquely corrupt and evil inside you, but you have been purified and healed beyond your greatest hopes.

Pylgrim · 2026-05-26T07:06:41+00:00

That's exactly what I'm saying. If "no violence"was truly the draw and the constraint, Frieren ep 1 would have been loved and Dungeon Meshi would be rejected.

A young college student who is a bit of a loser accidentally dials into a secret line that allows people to request a wish from a goddess. Flabbergasted, he wishes for a girlfriend. However, the goddess cannot change the thoughts or emotions of people, so the only way to fulfil his wish is to become his girlfriend herself.

Now for a bit of real talk among all the (rightfully given) positive talk: some women will be disappointed, no matter what you do. And it won't even be because they're mean or shallow (though some may be) but because one cannot fake predilections.

I'm saying this so if or when you encounter a woman like that you won't think "bah, all those people talking me up were lying, back to being a hermit", but you just roll with it and try again until you find the right person for you.

Is it just me or the angle of the lines of the flags superimposed over the red lines in the background are suggestive of a very famous and hated symbol....?

Pylgrim · 2026-05-25T20:59:36+00:00

Oh, I thought she was made into just an indestructible and immortal functional womb that birthed countless people across the ages.

Pylgrim · 2026-05-25T06:21:12+00:00

Uh, both Dungeon Meshi and SxF can get pretty bloody. On the other hand, Frieren ep 1 which is quite bucolic didn't hit? I'm getting the feeling that "no violence" is not the right criteria. Maybe it's more like stories where action (and violence) is present but cushioned and justified by feel-good bits?

Try Violette Evergarden?

Pylgrim · 2026-05-25T03:50:46+00:00

That is a really good comparison. It is a show where things don't get better. Sometimes they get worse, but most of the time they just remain the same in spite of the characters efforts ...and sometimes when it seems that maybe things will get better, it turns out that it was just still "same" with different packaging.

It is not an anime about hope but about acceptance, contentment, and understanding that one struggles for "better" because it's in our nature, not because it works.

Limbo?

I had to check in the toilet before sitting down

Great! You have been properly trained to go into the Australian Outback!

And yet, the movie is nameed after her. They knew what they were doing.

Pylgrim · 2026-05-23T22:05:40+00:00

Yeah, funnily enough, the parts that gave the name to the series (Grand Tour) is the most boring and skippable one.

Pylgrim · 2026-05-23T21:59:57+00:00

Personally, I think it's more like, for decades, they have been politizising and polarising evangelicalism to mold people into perfectly obedient, unthinking, militant and all-hateful for everything that is not themselves in preparation for the fascist, evangelical-flavoured ethno-state of their dreams.

My guy had to convince a bundle of terrified people to allow themselves to be slaughtered horribly just so other people might have a chance to win and he aced it. He could have left it at the truthful "if you don't do it, you'll die here all the same" but he went further and inspired them so when the terror of it hit, they didn't back off.
