  • After season 2 i already suspected we were not getting to see Garou’s growth in a quality matching season 1.

    After seeing the now infamous Garou slide right in the beginning of the season, i buried any expectations i had.

    Did you still watch the complete season? I know many stopped watching half way through.

    I watched it all and besides the drop in quality, i was left confused about how the anime will handle the retconned parts of the manga.

    It’s already an effort to keep up to date with only the manga and now the anime mixed it up. Some parts are adapted from the retconned version, while others parts are not.

    It really seems that their decision depends on which version of a chapter will be lower effort to animate.


  • The One Punch Man anime turning into One Frame Man in its third season.

    From battles consisting of transparent PNGs sliding from the bottom left to the top right corner of the screen, to ludicrous censoring techniques like replacing a cigarette with a lollipop.

    For the fourth season they just inversed the poster from the third season. Tbf it will be actually Season 3 part 2, but it shows they aren’t even trying.

    Juxtaposed to this is the Dorohedoro anime, that also dropped a new season this year, after six (!) years.

    The long wait had a good reason. The animator loves the manga, but was busy working on the Attack on Titan anime and didn’t want to rush Dorohedoro’s second season. It’s a huge improvement over the first season, refining its mix of 3D and 2D hand drawn content into a wonderfully horrifying experience.






  • This is the same kind thinking of those people that “saved” the whale in Germany.

    99% of people don’t want to watch a baby deer get eaten by a bear.

    But it’s not about us, humans, how we feel about it.

    We are not the center of things and shouldn’t assume that our feelings or morals are ultimate and above all else.

    We have to treat all species with respect and leave them alone.

    Unless they choose us, like cats and dogs did, for example.

    Just because we cross paths, wild animals are not suddenly our concern.











  • this isn’t a model breaking the sandbox and releasing all company secrets by accident. Or suggesting to help teenagers with ending their lives. This is first and foremost careless managerial conduct.

    I agree with this. My emphasis was on it pointing out things that only could have been “great marketing”, if it wasn’t for it being the things that happened on that exact day. I got a little carried away with it

    I am curious about what the exact prompt was though. Depending on how unfortunate the prompt was formulated, the suggestion being all about the incident could be very much a valid response.
