  5. I've seen a few people mention that both the original manga's writer and artist were known for working on horror-themed series before this one. For this series they basically created a death game story with a coat of soccer paint on top. But man, I cannot remember being less enthused after the first two episodes of a series since...maybe ever? Like, are we supposed to be rooting for this protagonist? Because so far he seems like a complete psychopath. He already knocked out the only remotely-sane person in this place (although with that crazy eyes look I guarantee you that one comes back later as an unhinged antagonist), and none of the rest of these nutjobs are remotely likeable so far. As for the "sports" part, I don't even enjoy soccer, much less watch it, and I'm still rolling my eyes back into my head at the nonsense that dimestore Steve Jobs is spouting. Sure, pour all your resources into developing a single incredibly selfish player in large team sport and see how that goes for you. And put some motherfucking shoes on you weirdos.

  6. Yeah, I loved the shit out of Erased, which has a very similar overall premise to this show, and that didn't put any real effort into explaining the hows or whys of its central time-travel mechanic. And then there was the criminally under-promoted Summertime Rendering, which did have some more specific constraints on its time travel but played with them for the sake of increasing tension and drama. Either of those shows would have been awesome to have on the block.

  8. True. The best time travel shows are generally the ones that don't take themselves too seriously. Classic example is Legends of Tomorrow. First season they spent a lot of time trying to explain how it worked and the ruminating over the consequences of making certain decisions, and it was kind of meh. Then they retooled the show and kind of stopped giving a damn about making things make sense, and it just turned it into a wild ride that reveled in the fun of being able to go to all sorts of different times and places. Made the show just infinitely better and without a doubt saved it from being cancelled early on.

  9. Hey look, we got schedule updates on time for once. A DST one where nothing really changes, and the expected Rooster Fighter bookend for the 14th. It doesn’t specify sub though so not sure if it’s that or just a double showing

  11. If conventional firepower became as powerful as mid-20th century nuclear weapons, but there was no nuclear fallout, would they be more likely to be used?

  12. A movie that’s only 85 minutes long really shouldn’t be this fucking slow-paced. I really don’t know what I expected from The Strangers: Chapter 1, though. At least it was a free download.

  13. Convinced Ghostrek to sign up for skydiving lessons. What he didn't tell him is that the skydiving school is located directly next door to Classic Swim's alligator farm.

  14. I usually have either Friday or a precious Saturday off but this week I have Thursday off because my back-up has a doctors appointment tomorrow. My system is already telling me 'only one more day left of this week!' when it's really two more working days left.

  18. The real mindscrew would be if it was some sort of closed-loop situation, and the brother was the one who shoved him in the first place in order to trigger the time travel that saved his life in the first place. In any event I'm fine with not thinking too hard about the mechanics if the show is fun. Our protagonist is a good kid (if not a supreme dumbass), and it's a rare thing for modern anime to take on that classic "yanki" vibe.

  19. The time travel in this show breaks more literally every time it happens. It will not get better explained. It will only get worse.
