>>22945 Yet another old manga being adapted. But this time it can't pass for a fast-paced comedy like Guru Guru. It was a very bad first episode. Hopefully now that the initial setting is ready it gets better. I haven't read the original, so I don't know what to expect. But it seems to be a combination of goofy characters in a world of suffering and death.
I don't get the hate boner for Death March. Is it another Isekai video game? It is. Did you expect it to be super good or something? It was okay for an average "5/10" kill your brain isekai shit.
Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens is not too bad, but the fact that they though it would be a good idea to not be just a story about hitmen, but a world were the hitmen business is mainstream is upsetting me. At that point the Hakata city wouldn't even exist.

The way netflix released this really annoys me, it's one of the shows I've enjoyed the most this season and might have made for a good thread and weekly discussion. Hell, I almost skipped past it while browsing nyaa which would have been a real shame. The plot was mostly good, it managed to avoid or explain a lot of stuff that I was worried about from the first few episodes. Sure a lot of the bad guys are just cartoony insane, but at least there's some reason behind that. The superpowered shit, while it does bring some cool action is mostly a sideshow and even though Keith is a genius detective or whatever he's not the only competent cop on the force at all. I guess my main problem with it is from the final episode, why didn't keith just go to grapple him? they were right next to each other, there was no reason he had to shoot him. I suppose he might not have thought that he would have won a manfight, and it wasn't worth the risk letting him get the shot off, but considering how there was just a massive speech about how averse to murder he was it still does seem a little silly. Still I can forgive that since I enjoyed it so much. I'd consider the direction all round to be pretty good, but episodes 9-10 stood out quite a bit as some of the tensest shit I've seen in a long while.
I'm not sure I liked that sequel bait at the end, I thought it felt pretty complete, but I'll certainly watch it if it does happen.
