I got caught up in Psycho-Pass 2. There's a little plot hole that bugged me,
which was that they have a missing inspector who's gun is killing people, if they took her out of the system she wouldn't be able to use guns. They tried covering this up by saying her psycho pass is clear and they can't admit the Sibyl System is flawed.
I don't buy it. Do they need system's approval to fire someone? Why didn't they just lock her gun? They did something like that in the first season didn't they?
I have a hunch that the system is letting this guy go forward with his plan. Let him find all the system's weaknesses so they can make it better.

I've been looking over Takehiko Itō artwork and character designs. He did Outlaw Star and a handful of fantasy-mecha mashup series in the 90s. Ryu Knight. K.O. Beast. I'm inspired, watching youtube clips and episodes.
I love how they did high-tech stuff back then. Like, wires, cylinders and the little details. It's something I've always wanted to learn to draw.

I'm sick. Coughing like crazy. Chills.
The perfect opportunity to lay in bed and catch up on Akame ga Kill!

Akame ga Kill was alright. Given that the anime got ahead of the manga, certain changes were made and they were...not the best.
If it ever gets the FMAB treatment, I'll gladly give it another go. Been watching Yona of the Dawn on Crunchyroll since it's historical. Kind of. I like it. Even though it's based off a shoujo manga it's pretty action packed and lacking in naked males.
And I am okay with that.

Watching Dragon Ball Kai. Picking up after the cell saga. But I'm watching the Japanese version. It's weird cause the English voices are so much deeper and masculine, but in this Goku and Gohan sound like kids. And Bulma smokes?
Oh I also watched Chaika - Coffin Princess. It was ok. Short. But I don't think the characters would be good for a longer series. Kinda shallow. It was based on an "light novel". I don't know what that means but I got the impression the the secondary cast were played up in importance for the show.

Forcing myself to watch Magic Knight Rayearth. Classic 90's fantasy. You know, school kids get whisked away to magical world that they have to save. It nothing I haven't seen a hundred times, but it's been on my watch list forever.

The DBZ Kai series is abridged. But they cut out a lot of the non-important stuff that gave the supporting cast their personalities. Like Chi-chi was this controlling mom-bitch with Gohan and wanted him to study instead of fight. But she treated Goten, who looks like young Goku, completely differently and even taught him to fight.

Speaking of DBZ I just watched several videos of Bulma and Vegeta, still trying to figure out their relationship...

It was after the Freeza saga. Vegeta goes back to earth and basically lives at Bulma's family's Capsule Corp. She just slowly starts worrying about him. She's aggressive, which is like the closest thing to a Saiyan woman he'll ever see.
There's one scene where's she like, "You need a shower. Come with me." And her mom and Yamcha, poor Yamcha, jaw dropped thinking it's happening

Steins;gate is great. It really is. I just finished watching it recently. I wish I knew of more good time-screw stories like it because there aren't nearly enough. That said, while the world line concept makes for good storytelling and is used to great effect, there isn't any good scientific rationale for it as far as I can tell. This in a show with two main characters that are scientists. And some find the pace slow, but I think you just have to appreciate character development. It certainly isn't Shonen.
Anyway, BAAAWW poor Ferris! Poor Ruko! ...poor Maiuri! And poor HOOIN KIOMA! (I'm sure I'm writing those wrong but whatever).
Doot do-doo!

Rewatching .hack//roots.
I think I originally watched it a low quality version of it on youtube back in the day with slow internet stopping the playback in one minute intervals.
Maybe that was the reason I couldn't appreciate it. Or maybe it was because I was still new to the internet and hadn't played an MMO so I couldn't understand where the characters were coming from. I hadn't experienced what it was like to see members walk away or watch forums wither away because of it's lack of accomplishments and distant administrators. The whole Player-killer thing seemed stupid, why couldn't people accept it as part of the game design? I couldn't see "The World" as a social experience. I'm not sure I was aware of "trolling" and that the whole point of PKers were to incite an emotional reaction.
Nobody knew if the "key of the twilight" existed. What did they think it was? I just thought of it as a cheat item but the one character suggested it was a metaphor. Like, you're not just manipulating game data it changes the way people play the game. It was a stand-in for the philosopher stone, basically. Again, I'm not sure I would have caught that either the I first watched it.
Listening to the character's stories about why they joined a guild. Why they left. Why they stuck around. I can totally relate to them because I've been there. I get it now.

I actually re-watched .hack//sign the other day. When I first watched it I loved it, then a few years ago I watched it again for like the 4th time and came out the other end thinking it was terrible.
I then watched it the other day and now I love it for different reasons. It is really deep, quite a lot of subtext. Fell in-love with it again.

.hack//SIGN is my favorite anime. :D I used to own all the DVDs, but... ;_;
Started reading Boku no Hero Academia. Superhero manga that's heavily influenced by oldschool western comics. I've been pretty impressed so far; it definitely reads like a manga but the influence shows just the right amount to make it feel like a fresh experience. MC is still too whiny though. Ideally he'll grow out of it pretty quickly.
Shokugeki no Soma the anime is premiering sometime in April, so I'm looking forward to that. The manga is strange and oversexualized at times, but in a good, funny way. The MC is also for once not a totally inept retard and knows what he's doing enough to merit being where he is without being super overpowered -- dude clearly shows improvement. Unfortunately, it's shaping up to be one of those in which every female character with virtually any screentime is inevitably gonna crush on him, which sucks.
Kimi to Uso is garbage with an interesting premise.
My Wife is Wagatsuma-san was a great manga until the last 1/6 of the series or so. I think it may have gotten axed, because the ending is just rushed and it seems like the author wanted to toy with ideas. Can't imagine why it would have been canceled, though. It was really interesting for most of the read.
Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari is neat. Starts on kind of a bland note (heroes come from real world to fantasyland because X reason), but something happens that pretty much changes everything with the protagonist. Don't read the summaries for it since those spoil the twist at the start.
RIN (Harold Sakuishi) is still great and getting even better. The progression is really well paced and the manga in general stays away from typical anime logic garbage.
