They are actually 10,000 years old but just happen to have a young body. It's not a sleazy conceit at all.
Hmm ๐
Didn't think I needed an /s on that statement but maybe I did!
Honestly I do like anime but I have to turn a blind eye to the creepy/ecchi shit in order to enjoy some shows. It's just a fucked up part of Japanese culture. A bit like how Ignition Remix is still a banger even though R Kelly is a monster.
That's true! Any recommendations?
Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Berserk (1997), Hunter x Hunter (2011), Ghost in the Shell (movie), Akira (movie), pretty much all of Studio Ghilbi.
Apart from EVA those are fairly good for keeping the creepiness to a minimum. I think Berserk at least contextualises it as being part of a brutal universe in a GoT kind of way.
Kill La Kill is probably the creepiest one I'd still say was good but it crosses the line a few times tbh.
love NGE. So weird. But wonderful too
I've tried cowboy bebop twice. About five episodes. I know something is wrong with me. Next time I get sick I'll try again.
Never heard of Berserk
Read some of hxh in shonen jump. Wow. Totally forgot I bought like a dozen of those over a decade ago. It seemed a little silly with the power levels of it's the one i remember. I actually tried the show but lost interest when they were in a big tournament and started discovering they had like powers? Or that they could power up? Felt goofy. Should I stick it out?
Ghost in the shell - been meaning to check this out
Akira? The live action big eyed thing? I don't remember hating that movie. But I don't remember much at all it
Studio Ghilbi is fun. I really wish I saw my neighbor Totoro before I was a grown ass man so I felt the magic more lol. I actually haven't seen anything others but they have rave reviews. Occasionally my local theater shows the films and I've been trying to see the wolf howling castle or whatever it's called
Yeah - Context matters.
Is Kill la kill the one my friend watches with the talking clothes? Cause I can't, my dude. Hahaha
Forgot to mention I enjoyed AOT. Saw one punch but thought it was too meta for me. My friend said it's good because it plays on tropes. But idk. Sucks cause I LOVE that artist. He drew a series called Eyeshield 21 about a Japanese (American) football team. It was funny as hell but my goodness, that art is incredible. Yusuke Murata
Ugh I'm gonna post some. It's just so gah damn beautiful

What were we talking about
I don't believe so but not expert enough on his discography to confirm.
