Decided to give Iconoclasts a try.

4 hours in. It's more story driven than I expected, which is why I hope the story improves.

It's throwing a lot at me, but I'm not exactly feeling it.
I got this on PS+, been meaning to give it a try eventually. I remember hearing that the story throws too much at you without explaining anything about its world or the terms that it uses without ever telling you what said term means.

Should give Crypt of the Necrodancer a go after that Zelda version was announced. For some reason, there's a demo that's only available not only on Switch, but on the Japanese eShop....okay, then....Least it's only $3 as part of the PS+ sale.

what was up with the trend of calling good game in a certain genre an 'x' killer, like when killzone was a halo killer
Probably was the only way they could think of saying "yo, you thought THAT game was good? Take a look at THIS!" Seems like it was mainly during the PS2/GCN/Xbox era & early in the PS360, but after that, seems as though the term died down. Probably because most of the games that people claimed were X killers never really ended up "killing" the other franchise.

Case in point: Xenosaga only got 3 games and never got a rerelease and barely gets by with cameo appearances. Final Fantasy....still exists.

Polygon Pictures, what did they do?

> Knights of Sidonia
> Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters
> Tron: Uprising
> Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series)

.....huh.

Now I just want Nintendo to commission a Punch-Out anime where we get to learn the origins of characters like King Hippo.

I always saw Gon not meeting the King as being mildly interesting more than anything else

i don't really think Gon meeting Meruem would've changed anything considering Gon doesn't really give a shit about any ant but Pitou

Watched the Black Clover OVA today, along with the episode that I fell asleep on.

The OVA is actually funny. Black Clover once again shows that it would be better as a screwball comedy.

I also have to watch HxH and Naruto Shippuden.

TIL that people are selling old Toonami airings on eBay.

Should I take the plunge, buy some and report what I see to the thread?

All instances of "in a world where magic is everything" should be said by the old movie trailer voice guy.

I've basically accepted that I dont like evangelion and it's probably because i dont suffer from anxiety or depression

Evangelion loves to revel in suffering, which i don't really appreciate

I have anxiety and depression both and I still don't like Evangellion.

Most of it is just dumb monster of the week stuff with bad humor, an excessive ammount of fan service, and usually not great animation.

When it tries to deal with serious issues it does an decent job, at least relative to how most anime handles mental health issues. But there's so many mediocre episodes in between that the quality ones can't save the show for me

The directors cut 21-24 is great and every now and again an episode is damn good aside from that. I could see the hype if the whole show was that quality but it ain't.

I've been wanting to rewatch it for awhile now. Hope they get 3.33 as well as I've yet to experience that fuckery.

I wanted to watch it with all of you, and if it does show up on Netflix we should organize a screening.
