I'm just here to provide the standard PSA saying that you are free to make up your own opinion about anime instead of having someone on Youtube tell you what to think. The amount of people who don't seem to realize this is depressing.

Yeah, and "super cheap" is pretty much a flat out lie.

Anyone else notice that MAL locked their forum discussion on this same topic for the reason of "Please refrain from posting thread topics which extend beyond the discussion of anime/manga as an entertainment medium."

What kind of brain dead take is that? There was nothing controversial happening in that thread, then still locked anyway.

Love the player, hate the contract.

Good for him, I guess... bad for the Leafs long term success.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I did not like this game because I thought the voice acting was really inconsistent in acting and production quality.

I've been holding out on JJK season 2 all this time. I finally watched 22 episodes over the last few days and am going to watch episode 23 after I have dinner tonight.

I've enjoyed it a lot despite knowing about the production issues behind the scenes. I guess I am just greedy, but while watching I have just been thinking, "OK, can't wait til season 3 comes out."

Kind of a "whoa dude" moment to realize we have gotten 45 episodes and a movie of top tier animation in just about 3 years. Remember how we all had to wait 3.5 years in between Attack On Titan seasons 1 and 2, and it was just for 12 episodes?

That Nashville fan's reaction at 0:46 is pretty good. "You seeing this shit?"

Are you familiar with Monster? Both this and Pluto are anime adaptations based on the same author's work.

Pluto felt like a distilled version of Monster in the way that it built its mystery up over only 8 episodes rather than 74. The beginning part of Pluto did a good job of evoking that same feeling of tension and fascination that made Monster so enjoyable to me.

There were times during Pluto where the dialogue felt obnoxiously obvious, clearly providing exposition that the audience didn't really need. These moments pulled me out of the show a bit. Off the top of my head as one example: in one scene there is an explosion, there is a 0.5-1s pause, then one of the characters says, "It's an explosion!" Thanks, script writer, much halp, very explain.

Though even despite those moments, and also even despite its kind of unbelievable concept of robots exploring emotions, Pluto did a good job of pulling me in and I was able to suspend my disbelief for most of the series.

I liked it more than I disliked it. Would recommend it to any fans of this author or people who are interested in sci-fi murder mysteries.
