Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 S2 ep2-3 (Eng Dub)
Lupin III: Part 2 ep46-47 (Eng Dub)
Something else I think the newer series' struggle to recapture is the earlier shows' anarchic sense of humour- one of these eps starts off with Lupin prank calling Zenigata just for the hell of it, for example. I miss that.
Trigun Stampede ep4-5
Eh. I feel like I’m starting to get a better sense of what they’re doing here and, taken on its own merits it’s fine, but the original Trigun series had such a strong sense of its own identity that I find it hard not to keep comparing this new series to that.
Blue Period ep1
Was vaguely aware of this when it came out, but like so many Netflix anime, I think it just dropped off the radar. I’m a sucker for art-themed shows at the best of times, but this seems quite charming - it kind of makes me wish I was doing art classes again. It makes me wish I could afford to do art classes again. My only small criticism is that having the painting literally wink at the main character rather pulled me out of it.
