That was Kadokawa though (not Sunrise), and they are not involved with this new show. Plus I would expect that Anno has SIGNIFICANTLY more pull behind his name than Hiroshi Kobayashi had with Kadokawa being prudish.
Hmm I don't know, it's the same Anno who said Studio Khara would be directly involved with ensuring the Evangelion translations were correct went it got re-licensed to streaming companies and then Netflix changed Kaworu saying he loved Shinji into just liking and "being worthy" instead.
Besides, Anno isn't the director or lead writer on GQuackers so his opinion/clout probably doesn't matter much here.
Khara is all old school Gainax people though...people who cut their teeth in the industry under Anno's direct supervision on Eva, FLCL ect..and he's written and storyboarded two of the existing episodes, and the dude writing the rest is Yoji Enokido who is Anno's protege from his Gainax days.
Re: Eva Netflix: It can be translated as "I love you". It's literally in the dictionary definition ("liking (romantically); being in love with; beloved"), and it's still translated as "I love you" in the Netflix version when Kaworu says that he represents the words "I love you". Translating it either way is fine. It's actually the most common way to confess your romantic feelings for someone in Japanese. Anno, in an extensive interview with yaoi magazine, said that Satsukawa was "right on the mark when it came to homoeroticism", and that there was nothing wrong with the earlier drafts (where Shinji and Kaworu kiss, for example), although some of the more racy elements had to be toned down because the producers at the time would not allow it (ex: skinny dipping turned into time at the baths).
I'm not saying that Anno has some master smackdown clout with everyone involved, just that this is not the same situation as Witch of Mercury by a long shot, and Anno and Kara history speaks to more progressive tendencies than not.
Nevermind, See my other reply.

Yes, there's a bit of the idol stuff here and there but Cinderella Grey especially is all about running, rivalry and that sort of thing. The little bit of idol stuff there is gets played for laughs because Oguri is spectacularly bad at it which becomes a running joke.
Your Forma this season has been interesting. Sort of ID Invaded but focused on AI / Automatons etc. Would recommend.
I'm mostly teasing you.
There's teasing and then there's levying the B-word against someone. They are... a whole thing, and a fandom to be avoided at all costs! -

A few neat picks from this season:
Kowloon Generic Romance - starts off as a very basic will they won't they have they until you veer into a story about cloning and what makes someone who they are. Neat
Killing Slimes for 300 Years season 2: It's my favourite LN series of course I am watching this, I eat it up
Cinderella Grey - as per above it's peak as in cap, and the last episode had my entire ass tense up on the edge of my seat. -

Not that this detracts from it - switch brain off, enjoy flashy animation, come away happy.
Accurate to a point. There's a running subplot about Tanjiro's empathy towards others, that manifests for the viewer as he slaughters demons and we get a sympathetic origin story before they dust out. It runs just a wee bit deeper than the basic 'travel around, kill demons, train, kill more demons' premise. It's not Full Metal Alchemist's deep ruminations on brotherhood and fascism and science, but it's not DBZ level fight fight yell yell fight more either.
True. I'd still argue don't go into it looking for any particular depth because it is a surface level spectacle show - but not in a detrimental way. The bits of backstory flesh things out just enough to not drag it away from what makes it good. It's like seasoning.
Fair to say both perspectives are fair, the depth is there to an extent but it works perfectly fine as a superficial fight show that's nice to look at. I'm enjoying the sheer diversity of demons and Hashira characters, some of it is standard trope done well but some are genuinely original and the design work is exceptional.
I would contrast it with Jujutsu Kaisen which is super good when it's about punching demons and really slow and boring when story is happening. Demon Slayer has a neat blend of both.
Anyway I'm going back to being horsepilled, Uma Musume: Cinderella grey is peak (as in cap)

11 Jan 2017 - 16:37Sorry for the late reply; lol, I'm nor even sure why I made this account. So yeah. But Hail Hydra, ya know. Haha.
Also, belief it or not, I kinda imagined you'd have a BB avatar, after I'd seen your cover image. Nice to see I'm not always wrong. :p
