>>344303>legend of the galactic heroes I feel fell off in the second half with reinhard becoming a sister complex faggot and yang just being a pacifist pussy the entire timeYeah, the tension never reached the same heights as the first half, at least for me. It felt like a lot of things happened just to keep the plot going. The most disappointing thing to me is that they never really did anything with the Earth cult, despite giving them a more important part in the story. Every other faction is treated as this complex and realistic group, but the cultists are little more than Saturday morning cartoon villains. It's difficult to take them seriously, even after they
kill Yang. That's not to say they should have made them sympathetic or nuanced or anything like that. It's possible to make a fanatical cult like interesting and still make the audience hate them. LotGH just never did that.
No.344383
>>344361The idea of some cult having the resources to engage in meaningful galactic politics is dumb anyway. Space travel and space warfare (as otherwise depicted in the setting) are manifestations of states with enormous resources at their command. An entire planet gaining power due to functioning as a trade conduit between empires is believable, some schmuck cult is not. The "cultists" should have simply been an Earth faction as depicted for example in Starcraft Broodwar.
No.344384
>>344383Also this kind of reminds me of my annoyance at LotGH and interplanetary sci-fi generally: I never get the sense that the politics of
entire planets is being depicted in storytelling, it's always just feels like national geopolitics being projected onto planets. Most authors are too chickenshit to speculate on how a planetary government might function, so they just settle for pretending a planet is the same as a nation. Of course this applies especially so for the author of LotGH, who was trapped in the mental confines of liberal electoral republics and was unable to think of other possibilities besides dictatorship.

>>344384>Most authors are too chickenshit to speculate on how a planetary government might function, so they just settle for pretending a planet is the same as a nation.I felt this somewhat worked with LOTGH simply because it was always about the bigger picture even if the author was limited by modern political thought. Also some planets were around the size of a larger nation anyways.
No.344503
>>344465>Also some planets were around the size of a larger nation anyways.yeah the impression I got was that very few planets were globally colonized, so a single normal planet ends up not much different from a landmass like australia, where almost all the people are condensed in the same few spots

I appreciate what they were trying to with pink jacket though, if Mamoru Oshii had gotten to direct Pink Jacket's movie like he wanted it could've been really good
No.344573
>>344543>>344551It's weird how, as far as tone, and writing, and characterization, and art style, Castle of Cagliostro is definitely a red jack Lupin story, but they gave him a green jacket. And Mystery of Mamo is edgy and chaotic like the green jacket episodes, but they gave him a red jacket. What's the deal?
No.344574
>>344573Maybe the jacket color is just random and it doesn't signify any particular movie style.
No.344601
>>344574it has meaning, they use it for different eras, it goes Green to Red to Pink to Blue, then back to Green in part 6
some films and tv specials don't follow this though, the 90s specials feature the red jacket lupin, in general lupin mostly appears in the red jacket in films
notably though he appears in the green jacket in fuma conspiracy and cagliostro, which are two of my favorite lupin films

No.345113
>>344604I wasn't that much of a fan of the mage exam arc, as Stark got sidelined, they introduced way too many characters at once and the travel stopped for what felt like a Shounen Battle Tournament Arc. The one good thing about it, is that future story arcs, now have per-established characters to work with, and I do think the author uses them well, including the current manga arc.
>curious if it gets darker in manga (reading it now)It doesn't really get darker, but the world gets fleshed out a lot more, including demons and the Hero of the South, who is a complete alpha male, plus there will be a great story arc featuring Denken, hope you like him.

>>345658It depends on how you like your cuckime, personally I enjoy the episodic nature of the series as well as how quickly the fights can go as Dante isn't really to be beaten or challenged at all. Some people who weren't fans thought it could come across as a bit boring and it doesn't bother to introduce you any of the characters, if you know you know. That being said if you like 2000s feels kino I would watch it, its enjoyable.

No.345665
>>345664>bad copy of Hellsing or Blood+Far from it, its literally just about random days in Dante's life while he takes care of an annoying but cute girl who takes on the role of being like his little sister. It does depict a different side of Dante in the sense that he seems to be depressed but considering the context of
it being after the events of DMC it makes actually a lot of sense.
I think it does a good job of balancing the sort of literal slice of dante's life with just a bit of him ripping demons apart in 2 seconds.
Also one of the few cuckime I watch in the dub because Dante's definitive voice actor/face model and known denouncer of nigger lives matter Reuben Langdon voices him in it.

>>345665I didn't really like the design and animation style of this DMC adaptation, it reminds me a lot of Bloody+ which was one of the rare anime that I watched with hate when I was younger. And something about the anime also made me associate it more with DMC 2 rather than the original game or DMC 3.
I remember this plot about the girl and I understand the spirit of it being just him living his usual life, I remember something about the last fight he has. It must be over ten years since I watched this anime.
2021 to 2023 were the years I started watching a lot of anime again and reading manga but I lost my interest in both during this year, maybe the joy Will return and I can also take the opportunity to rewatch some old anime.

No.345691
>>345689I think it's possible, but the girl has to be extremely unappealing to the guy, like being extremely ugly, and he has better holes to put his dick in. Then why should he be friends with her? Maybe there is something they have in common to discuss, that he can't find another guy to talk with about.
No.345696
>>345689It is possible to be friends with women, but at other times and it depends a lot on age. And of course it also depends on what you define as friendship.
I had several female friends during my childhood and early adolescence, especially what any annoying fag nowadays calls a tomboy. Nowadays, as much as they try to pretend that it is the best time for this, I think it is precisely the most dangerous and futile time to try to be friends with a woman.
