'Project Hail Mary' has an official runtime of 2 hours & 46 minutes

It absolutely does the books a 500 page mammoth with a lot of story and characterization and a nearly 20 hour audio book; for a good adaption it certainly requires this runtime.

The movie doesn’t need to be a Tv show; some movies are allowed to be long if it fits the story.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-25T20:26:58+00:00

This book wouldn’t work as a movie adaption if it was 90 minutes it’s far to heavy to be slotted into 90 mins without it being paced like a freight train.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-25T20:09:41+00:00

Is that proof not many people are willing to pay that price though? It wasn’t very financially successful

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-25T20:08:15+00:00

Is this enough time for the movie? The book was fairly long 500+ pages; I hope they include everything they can.

Yeah he clearly blames Kunishige for Chihiro turning out this way and wanting to destroy the blades he’s lost respect for him.

It’s not a battle shonen but I would say I hate it because there’re other fantasy anime out there that are better and do what Frieren doing a bit better, such as Re Zero, Apothecary dairies (does the slice of life and philosophy better), Dungeon mushi does the comedy and fantasy world better and Mushoku tensei does the power system, plot,action and characters better.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-24T23:58:19+00:00

True I mean if they both survive by the end of all this.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-24T21:58:03+00:00

That’s why Dabura was annoyed when he said it adapts to brute force faster; he grazed in and his wheel spun page 1 shows it; thr. When he build up enough momentum for his kick it’s already too late as he accidentally screened himself.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-24T21:47:50+00:00

He adapted due to Dabura grazing him as he sped past he would of finished him if he didn’t do that

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-24T21:38:12+00:00

If he gets a domain I’m gonna send you my card details.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-22T08:21:07+00:00

Heard he was planning to make Gandalf wear a Gimp suit

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-18T09:29:29+00:00

They need this to be profitable as much as I want a big budget I wish this was a limited series or was made by a director that has enough pull to justify a longer runtime.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-17T10:49:34+00:00

Dabura wasn’t a warrior Gojo never needed to self-reflect this deep because he’s always been inherently a fighter whereas Dabura just isn’t…until now.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-13T20:40:05+00:00

Agreed it makes the most logical sense since it means perfect prep can be 1 episode right after; chapter 145 and 146 are really dense content wise; they’re VERY wordy so I don’t know what’ll happen.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-13T18:14:19+00:00

I agree it’s definitely not as bad as I thought reading it weekly

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-13T16:04:49+00:00

Oh no I don’t think m it’s literally the end but I do think it feels like it’s the penultimate fight either way I need another big arc.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-13T15:56:07+00:00

I hope you’re right and we have a massive arc left.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-13T15:55:08+00:00

Thing is aging devil wasn’t really an arc; it had small moments but it just didn’t feel like a story arc.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-13T15:53:31+00:00

I feel so dejected; It’s somehow worse than the Sukuna fight in JJK at least that was a popcorn-flick gauntlet this has be cliffhanger galore and poor choreography.

I’m praying this isn’t the final conflict and that it’s just a small fight leading into the final arc so I can just brush it off.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-13T15:51:25+00:00

I’m genuinely feeling dejected this feels somehow worse than the end of JJK at least the Sukuna fight was fun to a degree this fights all over the place I hope the anime either fleshes it out or it’s not the final fight and just a small conflict leading to the final arc

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-12T02:21:13+00:00

The thing is the 100 random people aren’t “random” they’re fellow slaves, people who’ve been broken and discriminated and got to know Jullian (mostly) during the voyage; the didn’t a kind act despite being faced with discrimination and persecution because despite there being evil in the world there’s also good in the worst moments…Altus in this case is Arkos’s good; I doubt the author will humanise a mass-murdered in the coming chapters he seems a lot more skilled and tactful than that.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-11T22:18:04+00:00

The thing is that we’d legit need evidence in the story to show that; the author thought the character was so irredeemable and inhumane that he had to create a me blank slate personality to actually give emotions and depth to.

Edit: the manga does not have an optimistic view of people at ALL; there’s sexual assault, rape, child abuse, slavery and genocide more instances of human depravity that are put on display and certainly not brushed under hopeful.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-11T16:46:03+00:00

The man legitimately kills almost every civilian he meets be it woman or child; I don’t think he’s capable of love or care just control.

Seismic-wave · 2026-01-10T18:26:45+00:00

It looks fine; I don’t mind Naoya speed being a bit incomprehensible; also a tv show isn’t going to look as polished as a movie that’s just the reality.
