I was absolutely floored by Akudama Drive’s beautiful ending. I felt like I just walked out of a movie theatre and was just left with silence. The whole thing is an eyegasm, especially with the motorcycle scenes, and I am amazed with what Studio Pierrot can put their minds to when their animators aren’t subjected to long running anime budgets. Everything seemed to click with this anime (apart from perhaps the opening idk it wasn’t my thing). Definitely top 5 in my favorite anime of 2020 because of how unique and fun it was.

[@lalalei8112]

I feel like every historical anime is inaccurate so stuff like that dont really bother me. Still a bit disappointing, though.

[@norasyikinali6283]

@@lalalei8112 there's a few inaccuracies that a manga/anime managed to justify within the context of the story or too small to notice and then there's a LOT of inaccuracies front and center that the manga/anime failed to justify properly in story. Moriarty the Patriot unfortunately falls onto the latter category. The anime doesn't go far enough yet, but the manga depends too much on the inaccuracies for their plot that the story became garbage because of it. Some stuff you can handwave like Moriarty being able to target prominent upper class families without explicit repercussions or the character designs being standard bishie, but you can't handwave stuff like SMGs and Queen's black ops team - those things are only available during/after WW2. That breaks SoD like nobody's business, and as of now Moriarty is more or less a normal human being. No secret demonic heritage whatsoever. This might pass back in the early 2000's or whatever, but this is the year of 2020, where there are plenty of materials on Victorian era England available for free on the internet. Heck there's plenty of stories expanding on Moriarty's character out there that's far more interesting than this manga. This sort of lazy ass writing is just unacceptable. Production IG tried their best, but the source material is shit in the first place - not their fault.

[@mistercow2107]

@@norasyikinali6283 I read the manga. Sad to see that literally about 4 pages of manga turns you off from a manga with hundreds of pages. Well there is the character art too, but that’s mostly preference imo. It does have it flaws which hinders it, I completely agree, those 4 pages weird me out too.

[@fyrentenimar]

Fun fact: Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken already had an animated adaptation way back when (91-92) and is based on a manga started in 89, so yeah, it absolutely is old school JRPG. And from what I can see here it follows the manga very closely.

[@tutterbear98]

ETA: to know the whole of the world of the show, and the general pitch of the show actually, the first two episodes are needed. You kinda can't just watch episode 1 and expect to know what this show is about. This video got me to try episode 1 of Talentless Nana blind and that was a good idea. I have more of an eye for Shoujo tropes than Shonen, and legit thought it was going to be a normal, if darker, worldbuilding wise, Shonen. Try it blind if you can!

ETA?

[@tutterbear98]

The adachi and shinamura light novel struck a chord with me. It's one of those high school shows where the characters really do act like authentic hs students.

Akudama Drive was an amazing journey. There is no other anime like it. The ending was also phenomenal and it wasn't predictable. Give it watch!

[@TheExecutorr]

Higurashi really was a blast with it's first episode and the trailer that released where the name "Gou" came up for the first time. It lead to fierce discussions if Gou can be watched without knowledge of the franchise, or if the first seasons should be watched first. Not to mention the discussion if it's a sequel, a remake or something else. It basically kicked off a civil war within the Higurashi community, and I absolutely love that. I'm just happy that Higurashi is back.
