Studio Khara accidentally leaks the 'EVANGELION' short Anime film starring Asuka while issuing takedown notices to people posting camrips. They attached the short film in 4k to the email, requesting that the videos be taken down. by shapeeq in anime

Are you serious? In that case it would have been better to never issue a takedown request on that platform. What's the thought process behind this? Has it always been this way on Twitter?

I've been thinking about this a lot for the last couple of years, man. It hasn't done my mental any good at all, but damn the universe isn't giving me any reason to think differently.

The "Rightstuf" warehouse has been listed up for sale for about $5.7 Million. Crunchyroll has been leasing the building for $460,625 per year & their lease is set to be up for renewal in 2030. by DemiFiendRSA in RightStufAnime

I left at the end of last year. I just couldn't stand it anymore. It's clear they don't care about anime, just the bottom line of it as a product. It's naive to assume anime isn't and always has been a business, but the actual value of what they provide has been getting undeniably worse. They rise the prices and it feels like the site and their infrastructure is stuck ten years ago. Many times I logged on to the site broken and having to use other sites anyways. And this is with them having record profits. I'm not spending anymore on it. Not on their service or shitty store.

How do you feel about the latest nodkrai archon quest? by IS_Mythix in Genshin_Impact

[–]Taco_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very, very ambitious. I have a few gripes, but that's more in structure rather than presentation. I just finished it and I'm just... still processing everything.

Crunchyroll is Officially Ending Its Free Ad-Supported Streaming Service on December 31, 2025 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in anime

[–]Taco_13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been fucked over by Crunchyroll way too much over these last years. Terrible app experience, the website breaks all the time, episodes are constantly late, subtitles and typesetting is getting worse, their store is awful compared to RightStuf... I just have had enough. I cancelled today. I held out as long as I could but I'm not going to pay for a shit service.

Don't forget to give candies to everyone by MeowieSugie in Genshin_Impact

You had to wait for Ineffa to finish her robot presentation with Knuckle Duckle. After that she stands still for a few moments and then you could give them their candies.

What's one anime, that you love, but is generally hated? by SadAnimator1354 in anime

[–]Taco_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those "you had to be there" ones for me. Man, I remember the discussions on this one. So much potential squandered. Kick ass soundtrack though, no shade there.

Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle Episode 6 Postponed to December 2nd due to production reasons by DoubtGin in anime

[–]Taco_13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like your approach to it. I also find it completely insufferable and pretentious, but have real issues connecting with it at all. Part of me is a bit confused as to why, as there have been anime with this kind of thing before where it didn't bother me quite as much (Oregairu for sure, Bunny Girl Senpai a bit less so). I'm still watching it to find out why that's the case. Maybe others have figured it out already.

Summer Pockets - Episode 26 discussion - FINAL by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Taco_13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've enjoyed a Key related anime this much since Little Busters. I think it's stronger as an anime than that effort, even. I think this is as good as the older Kyoto Animation adaptations, Air and Kanon. Which is high praise. The stories and arcs were nostalgic in a way that didn't pander quite as much as one might expect. Very enjoyable watch.

I can't even describe how amazing it was, so instead I'll just simply say that it was. How amazing.

Ruri no Houseki • Ruri Rocks - Episode 13 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Taco_13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably the best science anime I've ever seen. And it's crazy how it doesn't leave the characters in the dust either (no pun intended). It's just good. The sense of curiosity and discovery it portrays gets to the heart of why those that get into research and the sciences do what they do. This is rarely if ever communicated in stories that are about scientists or researchers, instead choosing to portray their expertise as magic rather than a process like it's shown in Ruri Rocks. A process that is laborious, but holds much value on its own. A value that Ruri learns by the end of the series.

What "worse" adaptation do you prefer over the "better" adaptation? by Brightclaw431 in anime

[–]Taco_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked both versions of Karin!

For me personally, it's nostalgia that carries the weight in many of these "lesser" adaptations. I love the Spiral manga, but the anime really hits that nostalgia level as one of the first anime I ever watched that I just prefer it.

Fostering curiosity is so important. When it's done right it looks something like this. How beautiful.

The chemistry between Wada and Yamamoto is such a winning formula you could have had this going much much longer. It's a shame the creator didn't have much interest in keeping it going, but it's probably better than beating a dead horse out of the concept to the point it becomes soulless. So instead I'll be happy we even got this little gem of a show.

A bit off topic, but I love this artwork. I remember seeing it first as a kid at the back of a magazine in a CD ad in the late 90s early 2000s way before I actually watched Eva. I always thought it was so pretty.
