You are a little demon. Get off my left shoulder, damn it. o/

I’ve thought about it. The problem is that I really don’t watch anime to the point that having such a subscription would be justified.

Depends on the situation, if he was kicked out or forced to leave then he might not've been able to keep that stuff. Or maybe the new place doesn't have enough room.

Happened to me, I was kicked out of my last house in Colorado and had to leave behind my entire VHS collection, which had basically every animated Disney movie ever made.

You could just abuse the free trial system... if they don't fuck with the video quality like they do with free users.

True but I’m a smidge worried about them asking me to input my credit card info before starting the trial.

Just saw the 1st episode of Dragon Pilot on Netflix. Interesting. Like a cutesy version of Top Gun but with enemas. Right into the danger zone indeed.

Dragon swallowed pilot. Needed something to provoke vomiting. Thankfully the procedure wasn't shown.

Have you ever started over on an anime before even finishing it? I have, but usually only if I went so long without watching that I start over to refresh my memory, assuming it isn't very long.

I do that all the time. I'm prone to suddenly dropping a series to watch another, so I have a lot of half-finished anime shows on my watchlist. It takes me time to actually come back to try to finish one, so I have to start over.

Longest one was nearly 8 months (yes, I keep track of when I watched a series last) when I dropped Oreimo.

Now that I got the tears out of my eyes, A Silent Voice.

I think the editing kinda ruined the movie, but the story was too good.

Because some series and movies take their time to world build and introduce/let us know characters before jumping right into the action and good parts.

FMAB takes 12 episodes to really get going and it's the highest rated series on MAL and other anime sites, Shin Sekia Yori has like... 17 episodes worth of foreshadowing and exposition but once you get to episode 17/18 it's utterly amazing, Gankutsuou takes 8 episodes to get the ball rolling but once you get to the halfway point it's a non-stop roller coaster of emotions, Berserk's first episode sucks compared to the rest of the series, etc...

The first five episodes are setup and a short trip to showcase the combat. It's only after that it starts focusing on the political comedy-drama that's the bulk of the series and reason why it's good.

It's one of my new favorites for sure. The editing was admittedly kinda weird though, I don't get why they needed to cut around like that, it didn't really serve a purpose beyond I guess reiterating certain points?

Either way, the story was indeed amazing. I remember somebody telling me they didn't like it because Shoko was a "perfect little cream puff". IMO, sure, but she was the only one in the movie, as opposed to quite a few other anime and Japanese media that treat high school as either a terrible place full of terrible people where the only heroes are the quirky protagonists or as sunshine rainbows and bubblegum where nothing bad ever happens and everyone is friends. Plus, IMO it betrays the cynicism a lot of people have towards bullying all over the world. I've met plenty of people with very unhealthy attitudes toward it, both victim and bully.

Reminds me of that Japanese urban legend about "The Counting Girl"... Which yeah, you would think, if it were that easy, to avoid bad things happening to you, people would stop... But they don't. What stops it is people surrendering their pride to the better angels of their nature.

Everybody in A Silent Voice is an amazing character, with both flaws and good things... Except Ueno I guess but she's just a bitch so it's fine :lol:
