This looks like a good comparison match. I guess Ganondorf looks okay here if you think Chun is clearly stronger than Ken. I would've put them around equal though.

Ordinarily I'd agree but we're in a post-"Ken is in Smash" world now

Sure, but that was a 2010 match.

44. Durarara
https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/anime/10/71772l.jpg
@Turnsniper

Expectations for Durarara were high after Baccano was pretty much the best thing ever, and unfortunately the series couldnt quite live up to them. I feel like it did for a while. The first arc was pretty cool with tons of shifting viewpoints, and the second arc was interesting for other reasons, but the third arc suffered from feeling like bad high school drama and focusing on characters no one cares about. The future seasons improve things in a lot of ways, but to me they suffered a lot from me watching them years after the original series. This is not a show you can casually watch: it expects you to know who everyone is, and what their relationships are. The content is quite good in these seasons (though it does have some flaws, namely Anri doing nothing in the final season despite getting tons of hype and Izayas sisters basically being non-entities after their introduction), I just wish I remembered the context better. Character-wise, the cast is great. There are tons of awesome and memorable characters, just like Baccano. Again, the flaw there is its focus on some less interesting ones. Mikado gets some cool development, but Kida is fucking terrible and Anri isnt handled as well as she could be a lot of the time. It might be cool to read the novels and get a better picture of everything that happens in the show. I think theyre all out in English now too? Or theyre coming at a good pace? Anyway, DRRR is mostly an excellent show, just with a couple flaws holding it back.

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

I think the stuff after the first half was a little weaker in general, since it had to adapt the content from all the routes without adapting the endings, so you get a bunch of building action with no climax for a while. The end stuff was pretty good.

45. Inferno Cop
https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/anime/2/47037l.jpg
@AxemRedRanger

Though I didnt like it quite as much as its spiritual successor, Ninja Slayer (which is super hilarious and something everyone should watch, IMO, though opinions on it seem to be a bit more divided than Inferno Cop), Inferno Cop is awesome and a whole ton of fun. Rather than suffering from its limited animation, it uses that animation as a feature, making ordinary acts hilarious because of the lack of animation used to make them happen. Even normal things become ridiculous, and ridiculous things (which is pretty much everything in Inferno Cop) feel totally insane. Of course, theres more to the show than just the animation making things funny. Inferno Cop is one of the silliest characters ever created, but hes also a total badass, so all the forced cool things he does both make him seem awesome and work as jokes. The rest of the cast is great too, like the reporter who looks exactly like April from TMNT, and Mecha Cop, whose processor is a used Sega Saturn. They all have their own over the top traits and backgrounds, and the episodes are only 3 minutes long, so you never really get tired of them. IC was the first short series that I actually appreciated, since it actually managed to use the format effectively, and if I hadnt seen it I probably wouldnt have checked out some of the other short series that I ended up enjoying (one of which is still to come!).

Yeah. I watched a couple more episode, which were much better. But man, the premise of the show is so fucking bad. I wouldn't have any problem with it if it were written differently, and I really think it should've been (the tone is different too, with the guy not smiling at all in the first episode and then being shown to be a guy who smiles all the time later on. I get the feeling it was probably written years before the rest of the series, as is common with first chapters). Kamisama Kiss and Natsume Book of Friends feel kind of similar, but they have much better beginnings. That reminds me, I should probably read the Kamisama manga at some point...

Oh I thought you meant she was given the option to go back to the human realm or something and I'd completely forgetten about it. I think she just had a sense that the debt was her responsibility so she shouldn't take the easy route. I didn't like the old tengu guy though, so I didn't blame her for not wanting to go with him.

Better than staying with a kidnapper, isn't it?

If you prefer a direct link

Reddit is claiming that still allows them to stop sale of doujinshi for money tho.

No idea how true it is, because that would require both a much stronger grasp of the Japanese language and their laws around copyright but

It says ordinary doujinshi sales are fine, just not on a commercial level, so like you wouldn't be allowed to serialize a Gridman-based fan-manga in Shounen Jump.

I've always known it but it's still shocking to me how much of a cult Nintendo is in the US

Nintendo actually usually does noticeably better in Canada than in the U.S.

Old Square stuff like FFVI and CT do, too, so it might just be a SNES thing.

N64 was big here in Canada too, relative to elsewhere, I think.

Someone recommended it to me, so I ended up reading the (ongoing) manga Hibiki https://myanimelist.net/manga/93689/Hibiki__Shousetsuka_ni_Naru_Houhou about a teenage girl who becomes a novelist (a real novelist, not an LN author). It's super awesome. Main character is basically like a fantasy of how a teenager would want to be (no respect for social rules, if someone ticks her off by taking a picture of her without permission she'll go to his house and break his camera and verbally destroy him), and the story flow is excellent as well. The whole cast is cool and it feels kinda similar to some other series but at the same time it's also totally unique. I'm sad I picked it up before it finished, but man, it's so good.

@Raka_Putra

I think this was one of the first anime movies that came out after I started watching anime, and it was a great one! Pretty much everything about the movie is enjoyable. The family stuff is the highlight I think. Seeing the power of a big close family like this feels quite good, and it gives the movie an emotional power to it that other stories dont really have. The concept of the movie is a lot of fun to start with, with the online world and the math and the hacking and everything being the main characters fault but not in such a way that hes really to blame like how these stories usually go. Mixing in the card game doesnt make much sense, but its a way to get the family involved thats a lot of fun. All the characters are likable, especially the badass grandma. The movie as a whole just has a really good flow to it where things keep getting bigger and bigger in a way that draws the viewer in really well. Its funny that its basically a remake of the one Digimon movie the director did, but this versions definitely superior, so Im glad it was made. Feels like a perfect movie that non-anime fans would like too, other than the card game parts maybe.
