Ok, that does sound good - I've added it to the watch list, thank you :-)

I'm not super into martial arts (I can definitely enjoy a well animated fight scene though), I was more curious about the world of Dragonball (because there were little snippets in the credits of Dragonball Z, which I hadn't thought about in years until your comment) ... does Yu Yu Hakusho have a good story?

I saw a lot of DBZ when it was on Cartoon Network, and was always interested in seeing the original series but at that point I didn't have any way to ... DBZ was never my sort of thing (too many episodes spent "powering up" with no real story), do you think going back and seeing Dragonball is worth it despite the lapse in martial arts quality?

Cool, I'll give it a twirl for sure ... I can't stand the dubbed Akira though, so it's not a blanket ban for me, lol

Maybe in total that's true, there's certainly far more being made than I'll ever watch and there's no shortage that doesn't get good reviews!

Ah ok, sorry I totally didn't understand!

Didn't know about Gecko endings being a thing but it makes perfect sense ... it's bewildering to me that there isn't more general planning when it comes to making something that costs a lot of money

Cool, I'll give the dub a go on that then!

(It might be blasphemy, but the dub of Spirited Away is far better than the original IMO, so I'm not morally opposed to the idea)

How long is Buko no Hero Academia? There's been a couple of long series I've seen where it hasn't been all that surprising that the story lost it's way on the altar of profit!

That sounds confusing as hell!

Cool, that's two positives for Yona so far ... it must be good

Wishing there were more episodes is quite the ringing endorsement! I might just bump it to the head of the que!

Where did the name Beehaw come from?
Where can I buy a Beehaw halloween costume?
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Interesting responses here, lots of weird stuff! The most recent I've seen went a bit different - Super Cub, a slow-burning SOL that seemed to be headed to a relatively exciting and satisfying conclusion. But it just turns out to be full of plot holes and queer-baiting at the end.

I've not seen it myself, but I've read the story ... IIRC nobody knows what actually happened, there's been no information from those involved and the only public info was regarding staff changes (which didn't help deduce anything either)

I recently found out that Cities of Gold is technically anime, so it'd be that, the first time it was shown in English back in the '80s. The first I consciously saw was Akira, it was shown (IIRC) in 1991 on channel 4 at 11pm on a friday night ... I couldn't watch it, but I had a friend with a video recorder who got his Mum to set the timer for me. I watched it at school the following week (in bits during lunchtimes, thanks to a sympathetic teacher), and kept the tape even though I wouldn't have my own VHS player for another 6 years, lol ... it totally blew me away at the time, and I think it's aged well :-)

That's so odd, one would hope the writers could learn from their mistakes ... but I've felt like this is such a recurring problem that I wonder if written narrative structure simply isn't a big deal in Japan

Oedipus complex from the protagonist? That really does sound off putting.

There's enough edgelords IRL without having them in entertainment too!

Eww, yes absolutely that! (and the "but that little girl is actually a 400 year old dragon" trope is similarly nasty)
