    Jorm is in the same universe as BL I believe, yes.

    Similar feel but overall I didn't like it nearly as much. Decent show overall but zero current desire to do a rewatch of it.

    So this show is pretty awesome

    Spoiler: show
    Someone on reddit did a frame by frame analysis of Worick's flashback and it looks like maybe his dad was abusive, his dad killed his mom, then Nicolas killed his dad and that's maybe how the two met?

    So far I dont see any compelling story out of this anime. Getting bored of this really quick.

    One of my favorite shows so far this season. Has a far more interesting story than any others I've seen in a while. The fight that episode did not go as I was expecting.

    So tell me what is the actual story? So far, to me this is just some procedural shit with flashbacks. No overarching story, nothing whatsoever to make me care about any character in the anime. Even a shonen anime does a better job of doing that.

    What I'm getting is that you like your stories spoonfed to you. Just because they are showing it in bits and pieces doesn't mean theres no story. The way they are doing it keeps me all the more interested in it.

    What is any movie or show about warring mob families in the slums about then? Are you retarded? It's a spotlight on two dudes caught in between a 2 (or 3?) way war for power in the slums of a city, following the aftermath of a world war where bioengineering destroyed the poor population of the world.

    The only thing doing a bad job of anything around here is you with reading comprehension apparently.

    Yeah this is definitely still interesting. I mean it's not like the whole thing needs to be shoved down your throat, there's some mystery and stuff getting revealed. I mean if you don't like the show that's cool but just say that.

    This sounds like the kind of complaints people tended to have about FFXII and then the end of the game tied it all together and showed that the seemingly irrelevant (at least by the end of the game) political was at the very least tied to and caused by the events of the actual overarching story. Sometimes you don't get your answers til the end and just gotta enjoy the ride.
    Mekakucity Actors was that way too but unfortunately the ended sucked ass. RIP.

    Such a shitty ending

  12. #32

    Was that actually the ending? Didn't seem like it.

    End of the season. If you don't have a good stopping point, then you go for 2-cour.

    It seems like it must have a 2nd cour. Everything is left open and unfinished. As long as it continues I am okay with that cliffhanger.

  15. #35

    Yeah same, annoying they setup so much shit just to leave it there but as long as it continues I'll be happy.

    Irony to me is that the last episode was called "Odds and ends" and it literally didn't type up any loose ends.

    Probably won't be seeing any more of this considering the studio filed for bankruptcy less than a day after the last episode aired.
