Glad to be of some service lmao
The main reason I don’t want the Oblivion remake
As an autistic man who gets sensory overload easily as hell, fucking nope. I would yeet the childs.
Had this happen recently with Death Note. I kept seeing memes about the fuckin show so I watched a synopsis of it. I thought “Well that ending is stupid. I’ll never watch it.”
5 hours later I found myself on the third episode like “Huh?”
But I digress. I turned on the subtitles and was driven batshit insane. Wasn’t worth the effort of trying to find ones that matched. Everything was the same gist but the wrong wording and I was losing my mind.
Makes me laugh every fucking time
I cannot stand anthropormophized characters. I don’t know what it is and well aware that it’s a personal thing but it drives me absolutely insane. That also feels way too… cutesy. Death Note I liked because it’s dark. Whether its for teenagers doesn’t matter so much to me as the tone of it. All the shows that I watch are usually pretty darker in tone, mysterious as hell, and with a plot that you’ve gotta figure out. Stuff like Severance, Westworld, Hannibal, The Expanse, even How to Get Away with Murder. Character driven stories that have a mystery with wits being involved more than strength but that also are dark. Death Note surprised me because it managed to hit every single one of those things but with the added benefit of something I’m always looking for but can rarely find. The main character being the bad guy. I am so overwhelmingly bored of the good guy winning, especially when it doesn’t reflect reality. I like stuff that subverts expectations to an extent and the expectation for me is good always triumps over evil.
So One Punch Man has been suggested to me before. What you said about the B Story is partially why I’m not interested in it.
I’ve become real fuckin’ jaded. I am so tired of heroes. I grew up on Bond who is hella flawed and has serious problems but then its just like everything got saturated with that. When I was watching Death Note I was enjoying it because the main character was the bad guy for once. Not to mention the point at which I quit meant that the bad guy won. I’m tired of heroes and of the conflict within and having to cope with that. Also I’m a Superman stan and that’s the majority of his shtick when you analyze it so I’m familiar with it as a story.
Overlord I’ve heard mentioned a lot and might sell me because he’s not necessarily a good guy. He’s just a dude.
I liked it up until L dies but from then on it just doesn’t make any sense at all and is so contrived. I mean not like the ‘plans’ that Light was coming up with were anything short of fuckin insane.
Suckers for punishment, huh? I… cannot say I relate. At least to that level of self-harm.
I don’t have many clothes :(
The funny thing is, the monologuing is what I enjoyed. The fun action, adorable creatures and badass robots are what put me off about most anime and why I haven’t seen much of it. I get very easily overstimulated by a lot of stuff happening on screen and anime often manages to trigger that stupidly easily in me. Death Note got around that by it just being a battle of wits so everything was slower and the only hyper-active moments I can really remember was the “I take a chip and I eat it” scene.
As a Trekkie I do appreciate when they go hard on the small details like that. This is a book series but Lightbringer by Brent Weeks for that insane magic system also gets my love for the same reasons.
I will consider it. Death Note snuck by me largely for reasons unknown but I can nail down a couple. One is that it was very head-y with not much in the run of visual action. One of the things that puts me off about Anime is that it can be extremely flashy. Not a complaint, again, just a thing that personally puts me off. Like a lot of stuff happening a lot on screen is visually overwhelming for me. Battle sequences in space in like Trek or Star Wars also I struggle to get through. Sometimes they’re some of my favorite things but I have to push through it because I get overstimulated really easily. Death Note just… wasn’t that. Barely any visual action and it was primarily a battle of wits.
Yeah… I quit after Watari sends a signal to an orphanage. At that point I just went “Well the rest of this is idiotic. This seems like a great point to stop.”
This is my Tenor account. All Blacklist Gifs are there. First three episodes have been turned into GIFs. Or, at least, GIFs that I think that I can use. Working on some more episodes now as well as episodes of other shows. I’m just going episode by episode so far.
I had made some stupid voice recording with like 3 hours sleep.
I undeleted it for the sake of stupidity.
Stands for ‘Need for Speed’, a prominent racing video game series.
I dunno why your comment did it but it inspired me to just randomly do this.
This is what happens when you run on like 3 hours sleep.
Oh my god you people sound so boring
