For me who was initially an anime watcher but after switching to the manga in my teenage years, I understood why Ichigo and rukia were more of a close friendship. While orihime was always destined with Ichigo , the jealousy, the soft spoken love , while in my teenage time my wife who was my batch mate never actually bickered like ichiruki or had such an interaction even though we were in love quite like orihime and Ichigo . For most teenagers the interaction is usually soft love filled with nervous and a hidden special feeling which we really try to hide. So I think them being teenagers had an effect on us like they were adults. So I love ichihime , it provides me with how me and my wife usually were in our high school .

“I had sex once and threw up this morning” so accurate 💀💀💀

I think eva best strong woman in monster,its started as spoiled woman rich bitch,but in the ending,she can using a gun in eps 65

can watch on netflix????

The one unrealistic part of this is that even after being used, some guys would still worship her

Just finished the anime recently and I loved it. It was a really good series and I liked the last episode, to not even mention the reference to “Grave of the fireflies”😢. The only thing that confused me, and then I checked in the manga, was the appearance of Cat Queen (or whatever her name is) in episode 11. She appeared, attacked Ren, stole the tablet, got the tablet stolen by Sumireko immediately after, and then the cat refused to attack Sumireko because “she was nice to her”… and then she just gives up? I read that chapter of the manga and I saw that actually the cat(s) did indeed attack both Ren and Sumireko. I’ll just add another thought of mine: seeing the flowers leading to the library, I really thought that Oto was book lady all along, but probably this theory can only be valid in the anime, since the manga (from what I’ve seen at least) has nothing to do with that.

She’s adorable but deadly 😳🥺

Sorry I missed the live. I had to do stuff. And of course, this stuff was at the same time as the stream in some sick scheme by the universe to make me miss this. 😞 Didn’t help that I literally didn’t get a KZbin notification when it started for whatever reason. Ah well, I guess I still have the replay to watch.

I think Trope #2 is basic misogyny in writing… but I don’t want to come down hard on teenage girls who are writing while trying to figure out their identities, and who probably have crushes and/or boyfriends who really do seem like the whole world in the moment. Now, if the writer is 25+, then that’s a whole ‘nother discussion.

I came for the goofy shenanigans but I stayed for how amazing all the characters are written. Dandadan is my current favorite of this season hands down.

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to give a quick disclaimer that I am *well* aware that the audio is not stellar in this video. I had so many technical issues with this video and had to refilm it 4 different times and use a mic that I am not familiar with and that is not as high quality as my usual mic. No need to comment about it (or do, engagement is engagement). If you’ve read all of this, thank you, have a frog: 🐸

Meimei is also the only one there willing to entertain him

Lihaku was recruited by Lakan, who is great at spotting talent

It doesn’t help that MaoMao actively shuts herself down from going down some thought trails as ‘too troublesome’

Cotton didn’t become truly affordable until the cotton gin. Which contributed to other things

What makes it different is that when it was accidental, they meant it. The setup was there, but how it happened and even the aftermath was overglossed instead of dramatized. Instead, the focus was given to their inability to be honest and communicate properly. Contrast this to one of the worst romcom in existence: Rent a Girlfriend, where Kazuya was so preoccupied with a non-accidental kiss that he glossed over Chizuru's important heart-to-heart talk. Dandadaan by no means perfect, but does subtle romance very well despite grossly presenting everything on your face.

I’m not sure when exactly it comes up but Ah-dou attaches to Lishu to protect her from the previous empy

I’m afraid to say the frog will be missing for some time still

6th like and 1st comment

just came to say f**k you for the spoiler in the thumbnail, i didnt even got a chance, blocking your channel now bye

I feel like in the modern day maomao’s family would have poison control on speed dial

There are definitely things that I don't lke in this series but overall, considering the production means and the final rendering, it turned out pretty darn good. It was for sure a nice experience to discover this series! I just hope there is more to it as the ending feels kinda rushed in my opinion. I'm also glad to have seen every of your reviews! Thanks for giving envy shippers like myself a little bit of hope every time even though the odds were always close to (if not equal to) none lmao, and thanks for managing to change my point of view on the series each time!

Oh, come on. Rings of Power would have been a thousand times more awesome if it was about Galadriel just going around killing shit. Where that show fails is not with the action but with everything else and if it was mindless action most of its problems would actually go away. It would probably still be as bad as a Lord of the Rings prequel but it still would be a better show. John Wick gets boring not because it gets convoluted really but because it is the same thing four times. The story of those movies is secondary to the action and the style and you cannot really binge them because of how little else there is to them. Unlike a book and the majority of film those movies are there just to be spectacles and you do not really need all that much to them - you need a set up, a character presentation and then you can proceed to the spectacle and make the plot serve it instead of the other way around. You do not really need a character arc or a strong supporting cast, hell not even a memorable villain because this is not what the audience is there for. Same thing for Dredd and Mad Max: Fury Road. I'm not saying that Blade in the MCU should be like that but a Blade movie in the same style could totally work. If it was up to me to write a Blade movie for the MCU I would start him up a lot younger as a part of an established team that hunts vampires. They would go against something bigger than they expected or at least not realizing how powerful what it is and then get themselves killed one by one, Blade losing his friends and perhaps a lover in the process and discovering his own strength. In the end I would have him prevail and walk away in a miserable state only to have the best friend/lover be resurrected as a vampire and save the big bad at the end. And after writing this brief synopsis I realize what the biggest problem with both my and the idea presented in the video is - that is not the Blade that people expect. Like it or not they do expect the overconfident lone wolf vampire who could take on hundreds of vampires on his own and for a movie about Blade to be successful they should be given exactly that, at least to start with. Either that or get the most popular Blade comic story and adapt it. Cause when it comes to comic book movies there is a source material which is popular for a reason to begin with.

2:10 hahahahhaa

Apologies for the loud audio. The energy that Lars and Scott had at being able to record this review together in person was too much to tone down with the programs at our disposal. But please enjoy, because this latest episode was soooo much fun to watch! And it was a joy to review! There is a lot more to say about making fictional teens relatable, and this is just the start.

thanks! this was interesting

Amazing, really beautiful video, lots of the points you made are things i feel the same, also as a writer i believe that just like you say is really important to ask the "What about that" every time is possible.

ICHIGO AND RUKIA ❤❤❤

I agree with most of the video. However, I think there is an argument to be made a fight scene can be memorable in itself rather than just to the extent the story justifies its existence. The reason being, I see fights not as the climax or a beat in a story but a microcosm of the story itself. Basically, within a fight or action scene, there are stakes, conflict, set up, payoff, potentially subversions, etc. Literature Devil did a great video on the subject, where during a prolonged engagement the actions in the story cause the audience to swap between various emotional states. Mad, Sad, Glad, Scared. Basically based on whether the protagonist has the advantage or not in a conflict we should be switching from one state to another. If there is too much action but the stakes don't shift. (Within the fights not just before and after unless its a short engagement. ) Then the fight becomes monotonous and the audience desensitized to what is going on. In either case Macro level like you focused on or Micro level like Literature Devil, the details leading up to the big awesome epic badass moments are just as important. To shill Hyouka again. (Growns internally) the characters are basically tasked with helping some people finish a script for mystery film from three different suggestions. One of them claimed the clues and logical consistency were less important than the big moment when the detective goes "The Culprit is You!" The Classics Club naturally find this very naive. Some of my favorite fights Jojo part 5 could be seen as filler fights from a Macro scale in the grand scheme of the plot. But what goes on during fights was super engaging. I'm sure if you look at any action scene from Brandon Sanderson you'll see that principle of changes in stakes creating different emotional states in the audience yourself. To use an example you're familiar with.

Yeah, each fight certainly needs it's own build up in order to be unique and something to remember in movie. The first fight is certainly memorable. The ordinary guy we follow finds himself in a literal hive of vampires taking in a shower of blood from overhead water sprinklers. Then we see HIM...the Daywalker, the bane of the vampires...Blade. Wesley Snipes put a lot of effort into the fights to make each and every one unique. I think people forget how much work goes into these things, especially the writing and planning components. Thanks for bringing attention to the aspect of these movies.

Watched the show was amazing wanted plush does not exist

You're 100% right. I found out when writing my first book that each fight needs to feel unique and impactful. Keep up the good work!

I lover eriko kamata and eva,eva is has the greatest character development ever,while eriko have a good development,but both of them is good character,eva is strong woman despite bitch in the beginning story,eriko is bitchy too,but thsts why i loved both of them characters,not always female characters needed to be kind hearted

Anybody else find it really frustrating that J got a worse ending then the Solver? I'm not one of the people who were up in arms demanding that J should have been given a redemption arc, she wasn't significant enough to the story to deserve one, which is a whole other problem of its own. But why does the Solver get the happier ending of getting to hang out with the rest of the cast at the bunker after trying to wipe out the universe, killing billions of innocent human and drone lives, and J is left to rot alone in the Copper 9 badlands because...she's selfish? That's the one thing about the ending I genuinely hate, and hope if they ever return to this series and this world, they give her a nicer ending, because despite what J has done, even she deserves happiness.

I remember when I first checked out this show, it was because a friend of mine made a drawing of N, and I immediately got hooked just for how humorous it was with episode 1, episode 2 felt a little rocky for me, but then episode 3 was when I truly started to get invested in the unfolding story, in the drama From N trying to uncover the truth of his past, Uzi wondering where they came from and why she’s having these weird powers, V trying to shield N from everything bad, everything just added up beautifully to create a conflict where 2 people wanted to uncover more, and 1 wanted to hold them back because of her fear. Episode 5 often gets called the worst episode I see, but I think episode 5 is great because of how it displays N’s past connection to V, as well as show just what V went through as likely the first drone Cyn experimented on to make a murder drone Uzi and N coming together made so much sense and the more I watch the series again, the more I understand it was what was bound to happen, but it doesn’t make the pain you can see in V’s eyes as she loses N in that way, all the more painful to view No indie show I’ve watched since murder drones ended has given me the same feeling this show has, it has a special place in my heart and I feel it’ll only stay there longer as the time flies

Lain iwakura is cool female strong too,and maybe doc from eriko kamata is strong woman too because she still can fighting and there is moment where she is badass,she is maybe cruel but thats why i like his character,while i love lain because she is likeable

I will top your theory in insanity: The Annoying Dog is the same as W.D. Gaster, and is also possibly the knight. I am not joking, I have evidence (actually I'm like... 25% joking).

12:49 It didn't matter Sol Regem was already on his way & attacked a few minutes after Karim was defeated.

Ahh... i love this type of content. I don't typically leave comments like this, but this video only having 120 views is criminal. You guys are cool!

One thing I don't think most people touch upon is how Liams oldest projects:"Design","Yellow Halogen", "Black Dogs" influance his later works. I say that becouse when viewed in order they put everything in perspective. Every element of Murder Drones is contained in them. Spooky mansion? Check. Murder wifus? Check. Unique eldrichian tentacles? Check. Non stop fake out deaths? Yes you guess it, CHECK! Hell it even explains how solver might work since they have similar stuff to solver. Stuff like a memory conteoling monster that turns you into a semi-autunomous undead member of a hive mind. Or a pasites that give you godlike powers but its hard to tell wether you are you or a corpse pupetired by a parasite. It just doesn't end. Murder Drones is compolation of every idea, theme, worldbuilding and characters that existed in Liams brain since High Scholl.

На протяжении трех лет я активно следил за этим проектом и ничуть об этом не жалею! Murder Drones невероятно классный сериал, это шоу повлияло на меня, как и на многих людей. Самое очевидное это то, что я открыл свой ютуб-канал). Спасибо, Ларс, что показали всю глубину этого сериала и сделали его восприятие ещё лучше! Касательно 8-й серии то я остался не очень доволен ею, и на это повлияло много причин, многие из них были сказаны в видео. Я по-прежнему недоволен, как нам показали взаимодействие V и N (об этом я могу говорить долго). Фандом Дронов Убийц объединил множество людей со всего мира, и, несмотря на его " тёмные стороны", это очень классное место творческих и креативных людей! Что касается Лиама Викерса, то я не держу на него зла. Можно перечислить множество причин, почему сюжет получился таким, начиная с его неопытности, заканчивая давлением со стороны Glitch. Мы до конца не знаем, в какой именно ситуации был Лиам. И если всему виной неопытность Лиама, то мне хочется верить, что Лиам услышит критику и постарается исправить свои ошибки. Если Лиам признает их, то это будет невероятно смело с его стороны. Да и многие люди, я думаю, перестанут думать плохо о нём. «Ошибки всегда прощаются, если есть смелость признать их» (Брюс Ли). (Я был не очень доволен финалом «Атаки Титанов», но когда Исаяма извинился за такой финал, негативные мысли значительно уменьшились). Что ж, снова получился большой комментарий, но по-другому не могу, хех. P.S. И если можно, то позвольте, Ларс, я задам вам два вопроса. Первое это есть ли возможность у Лиама Викерса исправить ситуацию со всеми сюжетными дырами, взаимоотношениями персонажей и т. п.? И второе, как вы считаете, относилась ли V к одному из главных героев шоу? (Просто в один момент её показывают как значимого героя, но уже в другом её ставят на второй план, это также стало заметно в рекламах Glitch, хотя плюшевая V была очень популярным товаром).

While I agree with you the writing of Murder Drones is really good, I think that's what makes it such a frustrating story overall is because it wasn't given the time it needed to give a proper payoff to all the story arcs it set up. There just wasn't enough time in eight episodes to do so. So much of it went unaddressed or was massively rushed from Doll's villain arc and the origins of JCJenson and what all role they played in the Solver's creation and destruction of multiple planets and systems. Nori and Yeva's backstory as worker drone test subjects in the Cabin Fever Labs was extremely underwhelming because of how little we got to see of it. We barely knew anything about N, V and J's time at Elliot Manor before they became disassembly drones. Not to mention the show had only a handful of human characters in it and the ones it did have were barely even shown. And that's not taken into account the other stuff like the purpose of the corpse spires, what Copper 9 was like before the core collapsed, Khan and Nori's relationship before Nori was supposedly killed by a murder drone. How Doll became the murderous psychopath after her parents died, etc. That to me is why I was so disappointed when I found out it was only going to get eight episodes. There was so much more the show had yet to explore and yet it just abruptly comes to an end. Ugh... -.- Don't get me wrong. I still love Murder Drones for all the good it did give us, but I just hate how it had so much more to give and for some odd reason, Liam wanted to just end it as soon as he could. It just feels so sad the more I think about it. Murder Drones should have been a multiple saga series like DBZ and it sadly won't happen now unless someone else picks up the IP and continues where it left off(which I don't see happening anytime soon)

I'm pretty convinced that the solver has nothing to do with cyn and that cyn is just empowered by it. Everything cyn does is her own doing

Sometimes friendships or found family trope are the best kind of relationship and l can clearly see it in this show. I have not even sense a bit of romantic undertone watching the first few episodes (except for Kinger) And you are right Lars, while it would be sweet for some characters to be paired together. I feel like that's not the point of it and wouldn't fit the message of DC. The theme of this show It's finding purpose in this existential dread and finding people who understand, to lean on, and help you get through this internal mess.
