that's fair enough considering its slow-pacedness

I watched Monster twice, which is rare for me to do for a show that long. I think it's because you have to appreciate how tight the show is. There's absolutely no filler, even at 74 episodes. The episode with picrel was my favorite one, and not just because it has a loli.

That said, it's definitely gritty over stylish and perhaps not as much of a "noir." More like some post-1960s European Neo-noir if anything. But it is interesting for the same reason as some of these others in seeing a Japanese take on an extremely European setting with often extremely European themes.

love Monster. it's a top 3 for me. been trying to get a lot of normalfags i know to watch it and i never recommend anime to normalfags. i think they would like it if they ever give it a chance. favorite character is the spy who grew up in an orphanage.

Naoki Urasawa has a manga that seems pretty lolicious, i yet not to read it - but main mc is a loli! One volume!

Darker than black season 1 has a really nice noir energy i like

first adaptation seemed darker to me. it's kinda like terra formars season 1 vs season 2. i dont hate season 2 but it lost a lot of grittiness and adds out of place stuff like uwu emoticons.

i just lost all of what i had just written ヽ(´Д`)ノ ah well. i will try and retype the gist of what i had.

fma over fmab by far. it's been a while since i've seen fmab, but i've been meaning to do a rewatch of both of them so i can more properly convey my opinion of why i think this way instead of being so vague or making a fool of myself by misremembering things. i've started my rewatch on fma, so my view of it is a bit more clear (plus i've watched it more than fmab, which i've only seen once years ago and am going off what i remember feeling back then).

fma handles heavy subjects with a lot more tact and depth than fmab does. it feels like fmab throws out going more into heavy subjects in favor of comedic relief or poorly done character writing. speaking of character writing, i'm really not a big fan of the character writing in fmab. the balance between characters and worldbuilding and how both of those things can influence each other is not done very well in fmab from what i remember. the characters take the focus, and there is not a lot of depth to them in the same way there is in fma. but in fma, there is a lot of care put into the world and side and background characters that really makes it feel alive. the world did not feel very alive in fmab. it felt very focused on one singular aspect of story rather than tying all these characters' worlds together in a meaningful way. what i mean by that is that the main focus was, once the homonculi were introduced, trying to defeat them. the homonculi were an obstacle in the way in fma, but they did not overshadow the other things that were happening and that had happened in the world. fmab felt very streamlined, is perhaps a better way to put it.

and, in regards to the comedic relief, fma does it wonderfully. it has a good balance between knowing when to take itself seriously so that a moment feels more impactful and the gravity of a situation (or at least timing the humor or doing it in such a way that it doesn't take away the impact or gravity of a situation) and still having some comedic moments throughout. fmab does this not so well. not so well at all. there were moments i couldn't take seriously, particularly scenes with envy and greed off the top of my head, that had no impact or gravity at all because of poorly timed comedic relief or just treating the situation and characters so lightheartedly that they don't actually feel like they're a threat at all. which isn't inherently a problem, except they were supposed to feel like a threat in fmab.

the emotions in fma feel so much more raw and powerful too. in fmab, some moments aren't that bad in that regard, but for others they feel cheap and forced.

roy is an absolutely incredible character in fma, one of my favorite characters from anything, but in fmab his entire character just gets fucked after hughes dies. from the get-go he wasn't as good as the fma roy, but still passable. after hughes dies, he becomes hellbent on revenge and most of the rest of his character is pushed to the side for the rest of the show. a lot of the characters felt like their characterization was honed in on only a few character aspects rather than fleshing them out. there was some character development, but that doesn't negate my prior statement. i don't remember the characters feeling very deep at all in fmab.

and the final thing, although i could talk way more extensively about this, is that the pacing in the last season of fmab gets fucked. not only the pacing, but the writing too. it feels more like a "mainstream" anime for lack of a better term, more than it had in the episodes prior. even more things that had been established or mentioned prior got shoved to the side in favor of putting all the focus on the big bad and his minions. which, now that i think about it, again isn't inherently a bad thing. but the way that the big bad and his minions are written, i don't know, there's something about it that i really don't like. it's lame.

also fma had way better music.

perhaps this is my bias, because i did watch fma first back when it was airing on adult swim so it has a special place in my heart. but i like to try and give things credit where credit is due. i didn't see the point in watching fmab since i had already seen the first one and thought it was so good that there's no way they could do it better, so i went in having no expectations for it which usually helps me form a clearer opinion in my experience. i only ended up watching it because i watched with the friends who had kept hounding me to watch it raving about how good it was. one of them had also grown up with the original fma and liked fmab more, so that helped to sell me a little bit on watching it. i definitely don't hate fmab, but again, not a favorite of mine by any means. there were bits and pieces of it i do remember enjoying, can't remember particularly what though.

i started watching death note and i managed to read a part of a note that was written ヽ(´∇`)ノ
i wonder how long it will take me to correctly visualize what they say though(;´Д`)

If you really wanna feel like you're making progress try with easier anime like the ones rated 1 or 2/10 on jpdb. If you know 14 of the most common words like watashi, nani, and some honorifics that already covers 14% of the dialogue in Wataten apparently.

>words like watashi, nani, and some honorifics that already covers 14% of the dialogue in Wataten apparently
LOL @ this info, an anime made 4 kids!
that website looks pretty useful, good find ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

i'm writing what i think i hear they say in wataten in both hiragana and katakana, i seem to forget some easy characters at times though

i believe i have learned that "okita" means "wake up" but i'm unsure if it's one whole word, also i think i heard the mom say something like "izumateruno" but i'm almost sure i misheard it

If u didn't know, all of GTA3's Flashback songs are from the Scarface soundtrack

Dialogues in old GTA games were something else, you really don't get writing of that type (and quality) in modern games

There are lots of rooftops you can get a motorcycle onto in SA with enough skill. I've been b& multiple times in SA-MP for that by gay admins that couldn't figure out how I got up there and assumed I must've been cheating. The most difficult one I remember is getting on top of city hall in las venturas by jumping from the square ring around the pyramid.

GTA is great.
I need to play SA. I still haven't.
Played an absolute bunch of 3, VC, LCS, and VCS though, and I played a little bit of 4.

>>111762
V-Rock and MSX are my favs.
VCS V-Rock was the most memorable for me.

LCS is the most insane 3D GTA I've played. I'm kind of surprised that it wasn't more controversial when it was released, but GTAs that don't have PC ports usually seem to fly under the radar

I was thinking something was off with the ending, turns out the one who killed Oburi wasn't Sawa

Looking through his roles on MAL made me realize Umetsu-sama's style is distinct. He worked on Bleach too apparently

I really liek it

I would maek a /c/ thread but seems everything from him is already on sad panda

he has werkd on a lot of other short OVA anime too, check them out if u like too

Japs excelled at animating mechanical parts in the 80s and 90s, it was what they were best know for in the west. The magical girls and physics-defying boobs only came later. It's no coincidence that a lot of depictions of japanophiles (the term weebs is from 2000s) in media from back then show them as fans of mecha
