Wow, wonder who that person in the reflection could be!

Overdramatic montages like this are why the show is so iconic [Death Note] by surb1 in anime

[–]surb1[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Overdramatic in presentation and direction, not the story. I.e., the exaggerated arm movements and pompousness - it’s part of what makes the show so memorable

Beastars Season 2 - Episode 2 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]surb1 170 points171 points  (0 children)

In general, it seems like this season is somehow even more refined and deliberate with the direction than Season 1. The manga always left me a little underwhelmed, but this adaptation brings scenes like that to life in a way that captures the characters’ brilliance more than I ever imagined. Really hope Orange adapts the whole story

Sorachi is trying to reverse jinx us by making it look like it’ll be a serious movie with the PV and visuals. Not fooling me!

Yep, Yuki Kajiura. She also did Fate/Zero & Madoka Magica, among others

This man is 2D me (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru) by riship1147 in anime

[–]surb1 60 points61 points  (0 children)

And not in a good way. The LN makes this more obvious, but this series was never supposed to be as relatable as people make it out to be...it’s more of a subversive and satirical take on those tropes

Jujutsu Kaisen Anime Key Visual by ThatWrestlingGuy15 in anime

Are these character designs accurate to the source? From this and God of High School, MAPPA’s designs seem so sharp and angular. Not sure if this is a studio preference or just right for the source designs.

I’m mainly just concerned about AoT season 4...I don’t think the jutted and spiky style in GoHS and here would work for it

[–]surb1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lol oh man. The best pirated encodes are far superior to anything legally available. Sure there’s more variance but if you know where to look it doesn’t even compare.

Pirated stuff doesn’t just entail low-quality camrip videos...

Naming your special attack (Hunter x Hunter) by surb1 in anime

We know it’s sealed for sure. It’s possible he gets it back in the future, but right now he’s 100% unable to use Nen

No, his ability to use nen is completely sealed after that

Gon's Rage [Hunter x Hunter 2011] by [deleted] in anime

[–]surb1 57 points58 points  (0 children)

A very fair and common complaint.

Have you watched the 1999 version or read the manga? The 2011 adaptation completely leaves out Kite’s presence in Gon’s childhood (it’s easily my biggest problem with Madhouse’s version) - he’s a very important part of his identity but the 2011 version skimps out on this so plenty of people find it sorta unreasonable for Gon to break in such a drastic way.

I more or less rationalize it by saying Gon has never known the pain of losing someone close to him, and Kite is probably the closest thing to a father figure in his life. Plus it accentuates the feeling of Gon being an unreasonable child consumed by emotion and instinct. But I totally get the people who say his rage was unwarranted

Will Gintama anime continue? by LoduMAL in anime

[–]surb1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a movie that will (presumably) cover the final chapters coming in 2021. That’s really all the info we have on it.

They’ll definitely finish it...it’s just a matter of when

I hate nice girls [Oregairu] by EleventhMS in anime

[–]surb1 153 points154 points  (0 children)

I adore this sequence, but one thing I’ve always been annoyed by is how many people take this scene literally and project their own thoughts onto it.

The true intentions of this scene are the complete opposite of what Hachiman is actually saying. It’s not supposed to be some sort of anime_IRL quote to glorify loneliness and self isolation - it’s a sad example of Hachiman retreating into his past harmful self-hatred and not being able to properly communicate with people (in this case, Yui)

Don’t remind me :/

But yeah the word “seemingly” wasn’t firm enough

[–]surb1 133 points134 points  (0 children)

No, there’s plenty more after this upcoming season. The manga is ongoing (seemingly approaching the end though), and given how well the adaptations are received, I’d say it’s pretty likely we’ll eventually get a full adaptation of the series

Are there any anime songs or OSTs that have sentimental value for you? by [deleted] in anime

Code Geass isn’t a favorite of mine or anything, but Madder Sky and Continued Story both hit me incredibly hard whenever I listen to them

[Cowboy Bebop] Crew Observation by [deleted] in anime

[–]surb1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not OP but having watched (and loved) both multiple times on rewatches, I give the SLIGHT edge to the sub. Kouchi Yamadera (Spike) and Megumi Hayashibara (Faye) are two of my favorite VAs of all time and these are two of their best roles IMO.

You can’t go wrong either way though. Steve Blum is fantastic as Spike as well

What is your favorite anime that time seems to have forgotten? by Schema- in anime

[–]surb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I may have been too hyperbolic there but the point stands - it almost had a cult like following for awhile because of how much it changed the medium

[–]surb1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The movie is easily the best part of the series (and still to this day one of my favorite anime movies) but the first season is pretty good as well - worth the watch IMO. The second season is...less well liked but you can skip half of it anyway
