I triggered people on Reddit about Panty & Stocking and I found it worthwhile to hear alternate viewpoints: https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterRant/comments/w938s2/the_anarchy_twins_from_panty_stocking_with/ .

I think a problem you might be having (and a problem a lot of people have when interacting with various low brow anime) is that it's just not meant to be taken very seriously. And some people aren't able to enjoy media in a non serious way, which is totally valid. PSG is like a lowbrow 80s sexploitation ultraviolence hentai OVA, or a Go Nagai property. It's bad by design

Don't force yourself to watch it if you're really not enjoying it just for a review, there's better gainax/trigger series out there. PSG is literally just anime Sausage Party. Your writings on the series sound like you're in physical pain lolol take care of yourself!!

Sounds good, I might take a break from it, I have a surprise review about a donghua that I think the community would like to know about.
I have to rewatch Panty & Stocking yet again. :|

As someone who rewatched Lain multiple times because everyone kept claiming it's good despite every single fragment of my Soul screaming otherwise, I advise you against it.

I am partial to a bit of scatological humour, myself, as was Jonathan Swift. There are scenes in Gulliver’s Travels you might find, but a quick survey is his poem, ‘The Lady’s Dressing Room’, for your delight and edification!

I am a big fan of Swift myself and used to carry his complete works on me and loved his wit and humor. Sadly, Panty & Stocking is not clever with the joke.

Racing anime time: Should I review Initial D, Machine Hayabusa, Wangan Midnight, Redline, Mach GoGoGo or Capeta first?

since redline is just a movie and not a series it might be a faster review compared to some of the others!

This is going to be a controversial statement, but Alec Baldwin needs to be in prison and the incident on the set of Rust is just the tip of the iceberg.

i think alec baldwin is definitely at fault, but not exclusively at fault. i personally put just as much blame on the people in charge of props, ive worked as a prop manager with dangerous equipment (not guns but sharp objects) and there should not have been any way for that to have gone off and killed someone

youre also not supposed to aim them right at someone however, always over to the side in a way the camera cant really notice

tbh i disagree,, he probably feels soo much guilt n i think that might be punishment enough, as its rlly not like he intended to kill him ,but the family of halyna were right to file a wrongful death lawsuit, as ofc he is at fault- as well as the prop ppl. why didnt they check it? i think they need to take responsibility too

Are you familiar with Baldwin's treatment of his daughter? I should really say abuse and not treatment.

I didn’t have strong opinions on the Rust incident but the horrible things he’s said to his daughter are very…

I agree. OG Sailor Moon is the best Sailor Moon, same goes with comparisons to the live-action Sailor Moon.

original sub > original dub, too! the dub was where a lot or problems came from
Agree or disagree: Ninja Hattori-kun has better (more likable) characters than Naruto. I would like to have a discussion on this.

Who should I cite this as, as an unknown Doujin artist created this, but it uses Miku's voice bank? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A94A8wEjjDk

I have no strong feelings on this series in particular either way, but I think "funny" series are the hardest to critique since humor is so subjective. I rarely find anime "funny" as much as I enjoy it, with rare exceptions that tend to fit my bizarre sense of humor. I think I'm like the last person in the world to fondly remember Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo for instance. (1/2)
I don't HATE Panty & Stocking, but I feel about it about like I do Family Guy. I can acknowledge why it's supposed to be funny and I get why people like it but somehow it just doesn't make me laugh. I have been told that the dub changed a LOT in P&S though, especially humor wise--not sure if the original is any "funnier" or not. (2/3 actually lmao)
There are rare series where I enjoy the original scripts but find the dubs "funnier" and more clever in their writing even when they change too much--Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo and Keroro Gunsou being the main examples off the top of my head. I do wonder if I'd feel that way about P&S in reverse since the dub humor doesn't "land" for me, but I haven't honestly cared enough about the series to try that... (3/3)
I watched the dub, so I may start from the ground up watching it subtitled. The review has been put off until at least December for now.
That sounds like a good call. I admire the hustle but I don't think anybody should expect you to subject yourself to an experience you find this unenjoyable, not even yourself!
