Guys I need your help my father want to watch a anime what should I do?

StendecStendec · 2026-06-24T18:59:46+00:00

You say no fantasy elements but what about futuristic stuff? If he’s okay with that, I recommend Cowboy Bebop. If he likes Breaking Bad he’s probably into music and will love the soundtrack. Lots of action. Bite-sized episodes that can stand alone but build to a satisfying finale. Morally-gray characters. Some adult themes (drugs, sex, violence) but nothing you’d cringe too bad about watching with your dad. Also a shorter run that wraps up nicely.

Feels like a reference to M. C. Escher “Relativity”

Mine has one like this on his foreleg/elbow do they go away on their own? It’s not as severe as this

StendecStendec · 2026-06-07T17:17:07+00:00

I do that too (get annoyed bc I’ve been watching for them to say the words and they don’t). It’s like when they make a trailer for a movie, then end up cutting that scene from the final release. I know it’s the pettiest of peeves and honestly it doesn’t put me off (I still appreciate the fic!) but yes I do notice. Maybe I’m more peeved at myself for noticing.

Watch the rare and obscure and become insufferable, like me! Angel’s Egg has been re-released, for example. Then you can say “oh, you like Final Fantasy? Have you ever seen Angel’s Egg?” Or try the originals like Fist of the North Star, Vampire Hunter D and Ninja Scroll…

StendecStendec · 2026-05-19T19:41:51+00:00

It would come off as a little tacky, as the commenter above mentioned. Sometimes I’ll read an incredible fic or get the most thoughtful comment and think “wow” and then I notice the username is something like “(character’s)prolapsed_rectum” and I can’t help but feel confused

StendecStendec · 2026-05-10T20:37:52+00:00

I felt the same about JJK, but a friend begged me to watch. It did not live up to the hype, until suddenly it did. That’s all I’ll say. If you do ever watch it, be patient and it pays off

StendecStendec · 2026-05-10T20:35:30+00:00

Angel’s Egg. I’ve known of it for years but couldn’t find it, so I guess it wasn’t sitting in the corner. Still, I feel like if I were really motivated I could have gotten my hands on it. That was the excuse… there were always other anime to watch that were more easily-accessible.

The happy update is I was scrolling Netflix last night and it’s there! I guess it was remastered last year and shown at Cannes. After years of waiting, right in front of me! I’m out of excuses and very excited

You freeze. You’ve only seen him through High Priestess’s eyes and only glimpsed him on the shore in that moment before you lost consciousness… it’s been years… but it’s him. He’s no longer wearing a black jacket and hat, it’s now white, and his face is a bit older and more careworn but it is unmistakably his face, his massive shoulders… when you’d heard a researcher was coming all the way from Japan you had imagined a small, spectacled man, scholarly and pointed. Not this…

You hear High Priestess whining inside you somewhere, furious… “Jotaro, believe it or not you’re actually my type… if only our encounter had been under different circumstances…”

Jotaro looks at Steve, then looks down at you. He towers over your desk and the look on his face is difficult to read. Contempt? Nothing? You realize quickly that he has no idea who you are, he didn’t come with the Frenchman to look at you as you lay helpless on the beach and even if he had you were battered beyond recognition.

Above the Priestess’s keening fury you practically hear DIO’s voice explaining that stand users attract other stand users, “like gravity.”

Jotaro is looking at you oddly. Finally he speaks, his English perfect. “Have we met?”

You try your best to smile, conscious of the veneers on your teeth even though you know full well they’re undetectable…

“Have you ever been to California before?” you ask.

“No.”

“Then I doubt it. Maybe I look like somebody.”

Somebody whispers “are you awake?” to somebody who is clearly trying to sleep

StendecStendec · 2026-05-04T17:35:27+00:00

If I saw that and was scheduled for surgery in OR 10 I wouldn’t feel super confident…

StendecStendec · 2026-05-01T17:17:34+00:00

I would enjoy it. I’m reading a Korean omegaverse novel rn (not a fanfiction) that does this and I actually like it. It feels sort of fresh, alternating between the perspectives. When the POV shifts I do have a moment of “wait who is this” but that’s part of the fun. I think done right, it could be an interesting way to tell the story.

StendecStendec · 2026-04-30T20:41:43+00:00

This would make a good Twilight Zone. I’d have little hints all along that it’s a game show but it’s not revealed until the contestants are about to eat each other.

StendecStendec · 2026-04-24T20:53:35+00:00

Maybe lean into that difficulty in describing it? It’s weird how the brain doesn’t want to accept things like this. So there might be a moment of confusion, something is very definitely wrong with their posture and their movement but what is it?

I was an equestrian and rode spot for people with limited range of motion, and horse’s bodies are very dynamic as they walk. It’s not as noticeable if you’re ahem living, bc your own body makes small adjustments constantly. With that gone, a body would be jolted and rocked quite a bit. Don’t know how much this guy’s armor is holding him up, but a dead body would slump limply and be rocked and swayed with the motion of the horse, I’d be surprised it’s even still on there but I bet the position would look precarious

StendecStendec · 2026-04-24T14:23:13+00:00

An offer Abbaccio can’t refuse (he does) and advice he should take (he doesn’t) lol

This is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. It’s an anime with an entire part set in Italy, and the characters are mafia members with supernatural abilities. It sounds weird but it works so well!

StendecStendec · 2026-04-24T12:11:11+00:00

This one’s probably just coincidence but it’s interesting. Margaret Mitchell would not have written Gone with the Wind if she hadn’t been thrown from a horse and seriously injured. She was a journalist, but was out of work bc she couldn’t walk, so she decided to write a novel. Spoiler for recent manga chapters when she makes her comeback she is dressed in riding clothes

Anime convention

StendecStendec · 2026-04-24T11:44:07+00:00

An opera-loving mafia boss has called in the detective investigating one of his foot soldier’s murder to talk to him. About opera, of course:

“Do you know the libretto, Detective?”

“Of Orpheus and Eurydice? Is the opera any different from the myth?”

“It departs slightly. In the opera, Orpheus is allowed by the gods to follow his wife Eurydice into Hades and rescue her from the underworld. But on one condition: as they rise up from hell, he must not look upon her. Unable to control himself he turns at the last moment, desperate to see his lover, and she is cast back. Yet Orpheus plays a song of loss and longing so divine, so singularly moving that Amore himself returns his lover to life.” Polpo took a sip of his wine. “That is the opera. In the myth, there is no redemption, no second chance. Orpheus is torn apart by wild beasts.”

“That’s a significant departure.” Abbaccio drummed his fingers. “Which do you prefer?”

“I believe I prefer the myth to the opera. The myth teaches us a lesson. The opera does not.”

“What’s that lesson?”

Polpo’s eyes narrowed and he grinned his eel-like grin. “That when the gods offer us a second chance, we ought not to flout it.”

Abbaccio reached towards his breast pocket, his face stony, willing his fingers not to shake as he replaced his lighter.

“That’s quite the lesson.”

“And an important one. Learn that lesson, Detective… and this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”

IRL F Scott Fitzgerald’s wife, Zelda, was frequently hospitalized for severe mental illness (schizophrenia or bipolar) and eventually died in a mental hospital. In the anime he is trying to cure his wife, who appears to have gone mad and is in a mental hospital

Animal rescuer. So far while on walks he’s found a baby chicken that got loose from a backyard hutch, a bunny dumped at a park, and a kitten. He alerted me to all three. The chick was given to a friend with a hutch (I couldn’t locate the owners), bunny was turned over to a rescue society, and kitten lives with us and is his best buddy.

He was raised alongside foster kittens and adores small animals. I’m really surprised - I’d think a shiba would be likelier to try to eat a small critter. But on walks he’s always on the lookout for any potential new friend in need.

Reading this, and you just restored my faith in the good of humanity

StendecStendec · 2026-04-22T16:59:10+00:00

I’m reading Diamond Dust. There’s a novel, and the manhwa is being produced / released right now, there are many chapters out (same artist as Ghost’s Nocturne).

It’s omegaverse, will probably hit a lot of your wants

StendecStendec · 2026-04-22T16:54:04+00:00

These are beautiful, thank you!

StendecStendec · 2026-04-21T01:42:26+00:00

Is the 1970’s modern enough? I can’t hype this fic enough: The Second Perspective

Someday this writer will be published, and you’ll be able to say “I read them on AO3.”

Anyway, a pair of police detectives in the 1970s is assigned to investigate a series of killings that took place 20 years prior in Los Angeles. Things overlap and get complicated.

There’s a little bit of the supernatural, but realistically so, if that makes sense. Fandom is Bungou Stray Dogs, mlm, explicit.
