So I recently watched a review by DEMO on Redline. It seems like a pretty funky. Has anyone here seen it?

I just read Blue Heaven. It's pretty short (24 chapters) but a nice read if you're looking for a manga break. It's also pretty insane with some pretty one-dimensional characters who's motivations and methods are borderline stupid but whatever. Would recommend.

At first I was pretty convinced you were joking with all those caps, but then it dawned on me that Korra is probably popular enough to have a very strong hate group, so I wouldn't be surprised if you had been getting mixed opinions, and to be fair it does have it's fair share of problems, but nothing that would bother anyone but the elitists.

Yeah, I really enjoyed it, it's got some awesome visuals and is really fun in a over the top bombastic kind of way. It can get pretty cheesy at times though lol.


Edit: So I just finished Patema Inverted and thought it was really cool, it's a nice sci-fi movie and I would recommend it in a heart beat. Unfortunately though it has probably the most cartoonishly evil antagonist I've ever seen, which really let down the whole movie. That said, you guys should still give it a shot seeing as I doubt there's anything quite like it.

Edit 2: Just finished Short Peace and I really enjoyed this one too, though it's a bit more of an arty work. The whole thing is just over an hour long and has four short stories, so kinda like Memories. The stories have nothing to do with each other but each one is unique and you'll be able to to take something away from each one if this kind of movie is your thing, and I'll also note that each one is visually striking with styles that you won't see often in mainstream anime.

The next episode of Death Billiards promises to be interesting
I'm not gonna say I'm not enjoying it right now, but it has gotten slightly less interesting since episode 4
Episode 6 being an exception, but in a different way

I guess the story starts to get connected to each other now, not separated after each episode anymore. And why the girl still here lol? What happened to that cha guy?

Well we're meant to assume that whatshisfacewithredhair couldn't decide on how to judge her
which makes absolutely no sense because she was the most straightforward and good character so far, if anything Cha should have been a harder decision but idk man, I like her character kinda, she's interesting

Oh shit, if we're talkig about korra im in.

Gotta say, B2 was debatedly the weakest despite the good side stories and that sickass falling point. Korra's development was reseted, that deus ex machina ending and the villan.

Everyone agrees the first one is good. Korra's mixed.

I pretty much felt the opposite.

I'm sure to others its pretty cool, but I couldn't find myself liking the concept. I feel like it goes too far into the satire for me to take it seriously. Granted, I only read the first few chapters, so someone tell me when it gets better and I might consider giving it another try.

I don't think it's cool as much as I think it's entertaining
I don't think it was exactly meant to be taken seriously? But I could be wrong

obligatory "post on page 500" post.

Does anyone actively update their MAL account? Updating it feels like such a huge undertaking. Like I only have a few to put there and they really did make editing your account as easy as they can, but having to assign numbers on them and having to remember how much I liked each of them takes a lot of time.

I try to update it every time I either finish something, or remember something I've finished that's not already in there. Mostly because not only you guys see it, my friends also use it as reference for watching things and that makes me all fuzzy inside
it's pretty easy to remember how I felt about things, especially with the "masterpiece" "very good" "good" rating system, I just use the words instead of the numbers mostly, although sometimes that ends up reflecting how I feel about the show and not how good it actually is which isn't what I'm
going for
