Eclectic Connoisseur of all things written, drawn, or imaginatively created.
Is it on the intellectual level of Monster or the artistic gracefulness of Cowboy Bebop? Oh hell no!
While not something that I would label a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, I still would recommend it to anyone who wants a more gritty take on the mech genre. Or, at the very least, a show you can kill a few hours with a group of friends and some beer.
This was definitely the level we were on.
It killed about an hour, we had some drinks and some laughs.
If I were to recommend a gritty mecha show, not that I am big mecha guy, I'd probably go with Blue Gender. Post apocalyptic, very downbeat vibes, fair amount of gore and grit and all that.

5 chapters into the school arc and now we have a school shooter. Yep, this sure is Chainsawman
Audibly booing.
Okay so obviously this video is a bit, but I think it also is illustrative of the larger issue with the MCU. As in, we have no ideas so let's raid whatever banks of nostalgia we can to get butts in seats.
I'm sure Hugh Jackman likes money and I don't begrudge him getting a nice payday but I am a little disappointed. Logan was a great send off to the character and the actor in one. Except now it's not, this has made that film a little less special.
The issue is they can't do this indefinitely.
Or i guess they can do this until it's far enough that Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans coming back is a draw in of itself.

The revelaton about Conner was certainly shocking and I look forward to his conversation with Rebecca in near future. Meanwhile, the conversation between the Oracion Seis reveals much in regards to their lack of interpersonal relationship and group integrity. It's no wonder why Cure was able to conduct his plans without oversight. It also seems like Mashima is hinting that Cure isn't actually dead, but we'll see. We also have confirmation that Grandpa Ziggy was trying to break through from his other personality's control when he tried to convince Elsie to kill him. It was also ingenious of him to install Pino with a failsafe to restore him to normal, albeit temporarily. But I pity the position that Ziggy has put Shiki since we know that Shiki doesn't have the nerve to kill his grandfather now that he knows that he's technically innocent of his crimes.
Chainsaw man "YIKES." That's all that needs to be said about this chapter. O_o

I think it's a safe bet to say that Reynolds has probably been campaigning for Jackman to play the role in one of his movies ever since the first one, maybe it just happened that everything aligned right this time(particularly since playing the role used to require a ton of time for Jackman to get into shape for it)
After ten thousand years of forgetting to do so, I have finally gotten around to playing Wild ARMs 5.
You know, it ain't half bad. Yeah, it ain't the best WA cast, and has some weird quirks to it, but overall I've enjoyed it. The cameos from previous WA characters was quite nice, especially getting a chance to vicariously save Raquel.
Man, other than a quick replay of 3 a few years ago, it's been over a decade since I played a Wild ARMs. Now I've played them all, though I still never beat XF. Always liked the series. Will definitely give Armed Fantasia a shot when it comes out.
