    I swear, you're one of those 'why do you want sexy content in video games, just watch porn' idiots. It's not about masturbation. It's about keeping the original intact and creating a more immersive world. I'm currently re-reading GANTZ, and I haven't fapped to any of its sex scenes, but damn, they make everything feel so much more real.
    Maybe if you'd have actually read the manga, you'd know.

    The 1993 anime added a lot of fanservice that wasn't ever there to begin with.

    Maou 2099 - Episode 1:


    If they keep this serious tone, i might have found another great show for this season. I thought this was going to be more comedy like other anime where a demon lord finds himself in the modern world, but this first episode felt like there's actually gonna be a real plot.

    One thing I will always hate about Japanese authors and their "demon lords", however, is how once again we're supposed to empathize with the demon lord. Literally THE most evil being. At least that's what a lord of demons would be typically. In anime, however, it really only means that he's an opponent, a leader of an opposing faction and killing is the worst he'll do. When I think of demon lords, I think of the stuff that happens in, say, BERSERK. But modern anime-demon lords would never do truly evil stuff. And that sucks. Give me true evil when you call yourself "demon lord". Oh well. That's a general complaint I have for many anime featuring "demon lords".

    Looking forward to episode 2.

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    I'm with Mfauli on this one. I want my sexy girls in anime and games. However, I don't think so because I want the original intact or to see a more immersive world. I just like looking at it.

    Yeah...Raise wa Tanin ga Ii is really, really good.

    Nice to have a male lead with actual blood on his hands (during the episodes) instead of just being misunderstood or getting into fights for a noble reason.

    Yoshino is great in her own right too. She's funny, likeable, smart, and prefers to dress classy while going out. She gets herself into and out of messes quite nicely. No wonder he's falling for her.

    Ao No Miburo first episode.

    not bad, not great, judgement pending.
    animation seems a bit old fashioned, not too much movement, using pan shots to save frames.

    I'm not sure about the necessity of the framing device, but it's still the first episode. based on the opening it looks like a show with a whole bunch of characters, but maybe they expect me to already know half of them and only focus on the made-up heroes.

    need to watch a few more episodes.

    Maou 2099 episode 2:

    And there goes most of my positive impression, sigh. Lots more focus on comedic moments, and we have a demon lord who's becoming a VTuber now.

    I mean, cool, do that. But why make the first episode so serious then? Now we have the n-th variant of "Hataraku Maou". Will still keep watching so far because I'm already hooked, but this is disappointing.

    Also dear Japan: Pls stop using "demon lords" as villains when you NEVER depict them as truly evil.

    Ao No Miburo second episode.

    still not getting through to me. maybe if I was super into the shinsengumi I would appreciate seeing all the big names. but so far it didn't hook me yet. the stringer scene does intrigue me, maybe we can finally have some actual plot going on.

    sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
