I watched Perfect Blue last night. Oh my God what a movie. Every now and then I like to watch something that shocks me and makes my mind sizzle. That was this movie. It was just like when I watched The End of Evangelion expect this movie was far more disturbing...and you can actually make sense of it.

This movie creates such a distributing and unsettling environment. Right from the first scene at the concert where you see the stalker it keeps you on edge when Mima discovers her stalker it gets seriously thrilling. The movie for those who don't know is about a pop idol who resigns to become an actress. Her stalker feels betrayed by this, stuff happens, people are killed...and I can't say anything else without spoiling it. It gets seriously confusing and you have trouble telling what's real and not by the end of the movie. It was a real thrilling movie, I spent a lot of time looking at the screen with various expressions of shock. There are scenes in this movie that where REALLY disturbing. The voice acting (I watched the sub) was perfect. The animation was also really fantastic! High quality 90s animation from Madhouse! It looked like Hajime no Ippo actually. It was quite the film, defiantly one I won't forget easily.

I see a lot of debate about how many anime series and films can actually be called 'horror' (many are gory, whether they actually constitute horror is more contested), but Perfect Blue is certainly one of the few that no-one questions.

Wait, what what? Horror?

The Perfect Blue is straight up Hitchcock (psychological thriller). I have never heard of anyone suggesting it was horror.

Ok I watched Parasyte...It wasnt a body horror show.
It really feels like I'm watching a super hero show more then anything.
Like if spiderman was infected with a intelligent parasite instead of being bitten by a spider...

Anyways. I'm only at ep14, I'll marathon the rest once its done.

After that the only other show has been Saekano. Its a solid show.
That I watch only for Utah and dem tights...

Havent jumped on the Death Parade train yet...

Isn't that what the Venom suit was? (sorry if this is wrong, I do not read much western comics)

Yup. Idk how intelligent the actual thing was. My knowledge on comics is pretty vague as well.

I was a bit disappointed with Parasyte.  Thought I might feel differently about it this time, but I actually gave up watching it around the same point I stopped reading the manga some years back.  I think it does what it does well enough, it's just kind of... basic?

It doesn't keep up that sense of sci-fi conceptualism that it has at the beginning... I know what you mean, I haven't had much desire to go back and finish it off either...

You know what time it is.
Time to get hyped about all the shows being aired this spring and say goodbye to the old ones in a few weeks.

With that said some shows I'll be looking out for.

- Fate/Stay Night Second Season
- Grisaia no Rakuen
- Shougeki NO Souma
- Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru Second Season

Next season is all about Snafu season 2. Everything else doesn't matter.

I will be checking out The Disappearance of Yuki Nagato and Hibike Euphonium as well. Of course the rest of Assassination Classroom to.

Well I hope Nagato is even cuter than the original series  :heart: I know I will pick that up, Oregairu, Digimon Tri, Highschool DxD S3. Not sure on the other though.

Ones that do look interesting to me I do tend to try everything so.

Arslan senki
Denpa kyoushi
Dungeon ni deai (I liked the manga)
Kiniro mosaic S2 (watched the first one, slices can be nice once in a while)
Kekkai sensen
Owari no seraph
Punch Line

It looks like being a fairly decent season.  I'm particularly keen for the new Lupin series, as it seems like the franchise might finally be on the way back up after a ten year slump and I'm really hoping they can keep that going.

Kekkai Sensen/Blood Blockade Battlefront looks interesting as well, although I'm a little disappointed that that the dude with the massive sideburns does not seem to be the main character.

Get hyped! Art quality really has improved. Kinda miss the dead fish like eyes.
Though compared to other dudes his pupils look smaller. So theres that.
But yeah. This season is gonna be fun to watch through.


-Saekano: Final episode had gurren lagann theme song dropped in.
Overall I enjoyed the ride even with the cliff ender.

I just saw that PV today, I am very excited for the series! The art looks SO much better and I like all the redesigns especially for Hachiman. The new OP sounds great as well. Not as good as Yukitoki but good regardless.

I know. That song is pretty good.
Must have watched it at least 3-4 times already.
Its just really pretty to look at.

Its also closer to the original VN art style. Now time for the toughest part.
The waiting game...
