For now. However, piracy is going to do jack-shit when the Japanese companies start to incline to ESG/DEI/BRIDGE, and the progressive propaganda starts to pollute from the source.

Remember: Sony already wants to buy Kadokawa (A). God, already dying to see woke Dungeon Meshi, Oshi no Ko, Eminence in the Shadow, Overlord, Youjo Senki/Tanya the Evil, KonoSuba and Re:Zero.

So far, Sony is settling for a 9.6% stake in Kadokawa:

That's what Crunchyroll was supposed to be when they turned legit. It didn't work, since they are one of the big reasons localizers get to shit out their abject garbage. Crunchyroll also took people's money and built a big, faggy office that looks more like a daycare for themselves and funded High Guardian Spice, which isn't even anime but Calarts garbage instead. Not that their original anime they funded were much better.

What was the last show they produced before giving up? Because I know Adult Swim keeps making anime despite them not living up to any hype.

Ex-Arm is the last one I remember. I also know they made that godawful Irresponsible Galaxy Tylor show (which is a waste of time even though each episode is 3 MINUTES). Adult Swim's last original anime were the Rick and Morty show and Uzumaki, both of which seem to have disappointed lots of people.

I'm not a huge fan now, it seems to be more wacky dark comedy relying too much on the "wow she's EATING BODIES?" gimmick than delivering some more substantial stuff. I'm more interested in seeing the way aliens brainwashed society and how the MCs have to murder and get away with murder, but instead it's just offscreened and you get told about satellites that only the super special alien killing organization can use to track down our MCs (but the police wont, because otherwise the story is over, even if it makes no sense)

It's... alright, but I don't expect it to be great. At least the art holds up.

I don't know, it was pretty tense when he was recruiting them. It's definitely wacky too, but it balances that well imo. The eating aliens thing is probably going to become a major plot point though. I bet they'll be opening a restaurant or something, so focusing on that kinda makes sense if they're going where I think.

The satellite thing seems to be because they're a shadowy organization with access to that kind of equipment. The police might not be equipped with that stuff, though bigger government agencies would be, but they haven't drawn that much attention to themselves yet. I think the male MC even commented on that fact, there's only some missing people posters up, it's likely not even classified as murder yet.

But yeah, I can see what you're saying. We shouldn't have to rationalize this stuff it should be more directly addressed.

What's "BRIDGE"? Btw, I think Re:Zero was censored, it's just a female character's clothing from what I remember, the singer. Might be more stuff.

Censored Konosuba would be so sad. It's funny because it isn't politically correct at all, that shit is the death of comedy.

Which ones did Adult Swim make? I heard there was a really shitty, woke FLCL sequel or something.

IIRC it was called "Meiji 1888" or something like that. I can't even remember the title, other than it's very boring. They couldn't decide whether they wanted some deep, serious drama with lots of intrigue or to be a knockoff of Golden Kamuy. It also has a few girlboss moments western shows enjoy inserting.

My guess is the whole thing was mutilated in a committee by adding too many "ideas" Crunchyroll wanted to see, since it's a lot of wasted potential.

Has character age in anime always been as contentious as it is right now and I just managed to miss it, or is this a recent change as of a few years ago?

I mean I know Loli's always been a point of contention because they look like children, but I mean specifically more normal characters.

It is an american thing.

You know the meme ''she is 17 years 364 days years old you sick fuck''?

Zoomers actually took that for real.

Lads, I watched two anime this week (damn).

I watched a dub version of Sukeban Deka and it was awesome and later I watched all 6 episodes of Angel Cop. I did read the manga years ago but I dont remember much about it but even I could remember it wasn't anything like this.

Asura was such a wide boi and damn Lucifer was all style. Such a good job straight up from the OVA boom. I could see a live action adaptation happening soon.

Oh shit, that was Crunchyroll's doing? That explains so much and yet so little because it had fuck-all to do with Captain Tylor.

I guess the author of the light novels wanted an egotistical vanity project and Crunchyroll wanted to bait the Western fandom into using their service.
 
Amv hell 8 is premiering on YouTube right now
Don't know if it will be good at all but I've watched the original ones a ton as a teen so might as well post.
 
Finished Dandadan S1 and caught up with the manga today. Solid cliffhanger ending setting up for S2. Pretty faithful to the Manga. Loved the voice acting. The manga is doing great as usual.
