I hope Seda isn't saying super is a bad show when Caulifla and Kale are kicking Goku's ass

You can feel it in the air. Its almost time. Neon Genesis Evangelion is gonna confuse, anger and scare a whole new generation of people. The hot takes will be incredible

hot take: Evangelion sucks
This is a take that really depends on what one wants out of a show. If you want a happy message it's shit, if you want something that revolves around a bunch of disaster cases for people it's perfectly fine. The people in the show are messed up, which for me makes it pretty realistic since people are just flawed pains in the fucking ass' to deal with.

I actually prefer balanced stories that handle both optimism and pessimism, and having extremely flawed characters is fine, but I don't enjoy a show when I want to shove my fist down the throat of most of the characters all the time.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think that Evangelion might be pretty good!

hotter take, Hunter x Hunter deserves to stay right where it is on the podcast rankings

I'm kidding, but personally I wouldn't put it any higher than 5th as the list is now

Evangelion is a flawed show largely due to it's budget crippling the back half of the series is a pretty damning way. Despite that I still think it's a series that everyone should watch and when it's good, it's really damn good.

HxH has the second or third best dub aired on TOONAMI. Kill la Kill is still number one, and HxH/One Piece go between two and three in my mind. Space Dandy is a slight step behind that and Black Lagoon rounds up top five. This is based on the script/sound/acting quality and not the overall quality of the show as Kill La Kill is closer to the middle of the pack on overall story.

HxH dub is honestly one of the most impressive dubs in anime. Such a giant cast and nearly all of them knock it out of the park. There's literally like one character I can even remember having a subpar voice and it was that minor greed island character.

One Piece is really the only one on the same scale with similar quality, but even then that show nails the main cast but not nearly as much of the supporting cast like HxH does

>feeling tired & foot is hurting a lot after a 2+ hour walk

>hears I can pick up my pre-order of Crash Team Racing LE tonight at Gamestop, meaning both of my nights off can be spent playing

>....is given the Switch version of the LE despite pre-ordering the PS4 edition

>"sorry, we don't have any of the PS4 copies of the LE & probably won't get more since it's limited, but we can refund you the difference & give you a normal copy"

>Came to the conclusion that when I said "I want to switch my pre-order of Crash Team Racing to the limited edition", they misheard me & thought I had said "I want the switch version of the Crash Team Racing limited edition"

I now hate the name Switch & lost out on getting extra content to a game I was really looking forward to. Freakin' hell, this is making me madder/bringing me down more than it should've.

Hmmm, I should set some goals in life, and maybe try to improve as a person...

...Or I could just zone out and accomplish nothing.

...

Gonna have to think about this one.

Anyhoo I am real thankful that voice-actor-who-should-not-be-mentioned missed the Aggretsuko train.

It's one good thing even tho it's a lack of a...thing I guess?

you could be talking about the show or the character in SAO and i'd agree either way

That feeling is quite realistic if you meet enough people. Life isn't even balanced between good and bad, sometimes it's good other times you don't want to deal with it. My only "fuck this person" cast member on Eva is actually Asuka. I don't care if I'm supposed to think she's cool or whatever the fan zeitgeist for her is I think she's an abusive psychotic fucking bitch and I can't excuse her behavior based on her seeing her mom die, I just don't like her. Shinji's not even that bad to be honest.
Nah, it's def over that spot
You know something is wrong when B-Dubs and I agree.

what about 'dad of the year' gendo though

I have people issues so I could relate to most of the cast in a way or at least I could when I saw the show over a decade ago. I have Rei and Shinji tendencies so I can pretty much relate to those two easily. With my current daddy issues I can relate to Misato, like the personality types in this show really aren't unrealistic, they're just not made to be likable and if that's a make or break thing for you in a show then don't watch the show, and despite this I like this cast more than the cast of the fucking Sopranos.
what about 'dad of the year' gendo though
He's a piece of shit that got exactly what he deserved in the end. I don't even put Gendo in the likable cast category so he's "fuck this guy" by default. I feel sorry for Fyutsuki watching Gendo getting the woman he liked and having to work underneath him.

HxH is fucking amazing, but it has a bit too much fluff for my liking.

Yorknew, the NGL and Ant assasination part of the Ant arc, and most of the Hunter Election arc are all top tier. Everything else is usually really good, but can be a bit tiring week to week.

That said, this is coming from someone who actively dislikes and avoids most long form storytelling, so take that as you will.
