You're good. Life get busy, and we not getting any younger.
Yeah, I feel that. I been burn out for a while now, and I occasionally come back to watch something random for fun. Nowadays I find myself enjoying current battle Shonen just for the fun of it, despite none of it really stick. It's a vicious cycle, but I still remember fondly of the shows I really come to love and enjoy.
The rating never change. I don’t even remember what I told you years ago, lol. The 2nd film is the one I love. It’s not really a UY film, but more of a standalone Oshii film that borrow the cast and setting. It’s dreamy, fulfilling and has a more serious tone with its comedy. The TV series has its charm, but it’s Takahashi which get quite stale after a while. It’s not a bad watch overall, but take quite a bit of a commitment for the charm to show, but even then the humor is very of its time.
And this is ANOTHER thing that makes me so mad about season three. If cutting entire arcs, exposition dumps, connections, and leaving untextured 3D cgi models just sitting out in the middle of entire scenes, they've butchered the character of Academy City. No landmarks, no intertwined arcs, and no soul from the previous 2 seasons were maintained.
They actually showcased it a little bit during the movie which featured the Space Elevator as its main set piece, like at the beginning of the movie you think to yourself "Damn, I know Academy City is big and all that, which is why they can have multiple arcs going on at once on huge scales without actually clashing with each other, but surely we should've been able to see something like the Space Elevator in the background of SOME of the scenes" and they literally did a reel which pointed it out in the background of a couple arcs in the previous seasons and youre like DAMN.
Yeah I hardly ever read anything myself (being illiterate and all xd) but I thought the LNs were great. They're so much better than the show (at least the third rubbish season anyway), and generally do a better job linking events and timestamps together. A lot of things that went down even during the first two seasons, actually happened at the same time as each other, like the last arc in season one where Touman fights the golem user, actually took place sometime during season two. There were also some other arcs that took place alongside another one, so that even in the anime, you'd see the aftermath/progression of an arc going on in the background of the arc that you're currently focused on. Its pretty neat and besides tying the whole world together really well, shows a lot of care was taken when creating each set piece.
