The change from being a weekly show to a more highly-produced seasonal show seems to have really paid off for them.
The extra time spent really shines in the animation. These episodes are just fun to watch no matter what's happening on screen. There's a lot of subtle details and nuance to the way things are done that simply didn't exist in the older stuff, arguably even the movies. For the first time in a long time I'm rewatching episodes multiple times because I've missed things while reading subtitles or something.
I don't want to over sell it, they haven't reinvented the wheel or something, but for this series it's gold IMO.
I'm not surprised to see Bleach TYBW hanging around the top of the list. (Full disclosure this is the first time I've seen the list lol)
It may not be for everyone but it was enough to get me interested in the series again after not really following it for a while. I've been excitedly waiting for the new episodes to release each week and I'm already bracing for the letdown when it's gone.
Someone has to keep the windows clean.
Crazy that we just came from a season that saw no changes over the winter, then a flurry of crazy situations through the season leads to all but 2 teams changing their lineup this winter.
... but not towards its success!
To a certain degree I think when he backed Lewis into Max in 2021 he had a bit of leverage over them and that never transitioned into consistent individual performances.
Not shit stirring the 2021 championship drama, only citing what I feel was a big event in Checo's career path.
It's not exactly smiled on when drivers or teams intentionally manipulate a race. Just for comparison people hate on KMag for defending and stalling cars behind him when his teammate is fighting for a single point. Checo did something that played a major role in a controversial championship decider.
Checo was used as a pawn (willingly or not I can't say) in Red Bull's quest to deliver Max a WDC. I think a lot of his time at Red Bull was an attempted payback for that with hopes that he would perform more consistently with time. I don't think other drivers would've been given so many opportunities for so long with such an obvious gap to the other car. If we think back to Valtteri's time at Mercedes the performance gap was never so severe as he consistently qualified well but then floundered in the race or was the victim of the "second car" strategy. There were A LOT of Mercedes 1-2 finishes, and we never saw that consistently with Red Bull and Checo. Under any other circumstances I think he loses this drive much earlier than he did.
FWIW none of this is meant to hate on Checo. I've enjoyed watching his career until the recent slump and finger pointing when his driving hasn't been where it needed to be. I hope he's able to find success wherever he lands in the future.
Obviously I have no way of knowing every trigger for that message but VPN usage can trigger it for sure so I figured I'd bring it up since I didn't see it mentioned.
In case anyone actually cares and is trying to claim this the "error on our side" nonsense seems to be triggered if you're using a VPN.
Try reconfiguring or disabling the VPN if you are concerned with claiming this.
I'm not going to pay myself
Anyone who thinks they stand a chance against drones with a gun hasn't been paying attention to what's happening in Ukraine.
Gonna pew pew a CEO in the back? Sure, guns work for that.
Trying to save your own life against a fast and agile target that needs way less precision than you to be effective and probably never even presents a target? Nah mate, you're fucked.
