I'm sure the rich uncle who didn't trust you enough to hire you as more than a receptionist will gladly sign on to a multi-million dollar policy written by you. As we all know, insurance is easy. You just write a policy, sign them up, then never look at the policy again 'cause it'll take care of itself.

You know what they say. Never try, never fail. Excellent life motto.

Shit fuggs, watch where you put that bar. You set it so low I almost tripped on it.

I like Fate/Extra but it's probably more unhinged shaft that makes me like it than being super good. Pot also helps.

Low bar to cross.

I honestly didn't realize Gainax was still around. I'd thought they went out of business shortly before Trigger started - "triggering" the creation, so to speak. Looking at their current projects, I guess it's not too unreasonable of an assumption. Rebuild is basically the only big thing they still having going on and they haven't had a TV anime for a couple years.

No word exists to describe a sense of being impressed I could use sarcastically to express how unimpressed I am.

I'M NUMBER 6! I'M NUMBER 6! YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Not possible.

Only if the climatic Jar-Jar vs. Ghost dinoklingon fight ends in touching romance and felattio.

I know you mentioned it before, but forgot when I posted that.

It can be Patrick Stewart instead of Picard.

Happy birthday(?) BoobThicc'ums!

Oh, and Jar-Jar has to fight a ghost of a dinosaur-klingon hybrid.

Write a chapter where ghostrek joins you in a Star Trek ghostbusting adventure with Bill Murray and Patrick Stewart and William Shatner. Maybe throw in a wookie or some shit.

Toonamoglodiytes.... That didn't work as well as I hoped.

Who tracks manga by pages read? Wtf?

Packard - born 500 BCE & still brooming I don't know why I thought the second one said "& still booming". My joke would make more sense if it did. Damnit tsar, you made me look bad.

I know it's not in that video, it was elsewherw. "Bad execution" is about as useful as "dat stupid". It's so vague it could mean just about anything. Like, how do I pose a counterpoint that isn't "I didn't think it was executed badly"? Not much of a conversation then. And viewers get confused over the silliest things. If you can't figure it out when it's practically spelled out, I don't know what to tell the person.

I wasn't talking about quantity. In fact, I was talking about how it was used. It only felt "shock value" in, like, one scene and didn't feel it detracted from the scene. For the most part, it actively avoided showing much gore at all. Even episode 7(?)'s opening death sequence wasn't all that graphic, despite being pretty brutal. But we weren't talking about people who understood the show. If you have to preface a video essay with something like "I didn't understand the point, there probably is none" [as Gigguk did in one of his Re:Zero videos] you probably shouldn't be giving breakdowns of it. And someone not understanding the point of a show that has an entire episode dedicated to two characters discussing the point of the show does boggle my mind, rightfully so. I'd disagree about it not delivering considering it was definitely my favorite of 2016. I really don't care how focused a show is if the material contributes to the story and none of the many detours were arbitrary or meaningless.

Maybe? A lot of manga authors put stuff about rejected works in their "About the author" pages, though, especially for long-running series. It's far from the first I've seen.

He didn't really rant, nor say they laughed at him. Like, the only thing said was the concept and it was rejected.

I didn't find it especially gratuitous with gore, save episode 15 which was a very strong episode in its own right. With that exception and some brief moments here and there [mostly Beteguese] the violence was fairly tame. We're not talking Elfen Lied or Future Diary where there's no rhyme or reason to how pointlessly excessive the gore gets and there's far more character depth to it than either the aforementioned, even if Subaru becomes hard to "like" at some points - but Subaru's shiity behavior is directly tied to the point of the show. The only way I can see people missing the point is by not paying attention, really. They make it very clear that Subaru's growth is a criticism of contemporary reward-based heroism and very little was particularly confusing from a plot or character standpoint. It's not perfect in either respect and there are confusing moments from time to time, but the most significant parts were far from difficult to grasp. Like "the point" was made so clear that after a certain point I'm more willing to fault the viewer for not viewing it critically enough moreso than the show for not coddling.

Gigguk doesn't do a very good job at this, imo. I think it may be a different video, but he's made explicitly clear he didn't think there was a "point" to the show despite the point being pretty clear. That and not understanding character motivations that were fairly self-evident.
