Castlevania is one of those shows that has no right to be good and yet is just overall great.

Lain

Isn't the outro for that a naked Lain, who is in middle school?

damn that's a good list. I recognize some of those names

Edgerunners had that creep grooming David by sending him porn as a minor, and its just glossed over.

thematically appropriate for the setting. Night city is fucking horrible, and no one should pretend that it isn't.

also, i just watched that, like, within the last couple hours recently.

The relationship between lucy and david feels kinda forced, but other than that, 9/10 no notes.

Been a minute since I watched it. You talking about the BD producer? Because that shit super ain't glorified lmao

Kotaro lives alone? Thought it was quite lovely.

It is now on my watch list

Doesn't violet ever garden have that weird relationship between the underage girl main character and the army guy (my apologies I haven't see in it a while)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

If you watch the english dub, it's ambiguous enough to be interpreted as a father/daughter relationship. That's also why I recommend skipping the movie

Thank you! I've been wanting to get into anime (more than just DBZ), but I'm never sure where to start
