    All the trailers looked really good, reminds me of the Bollywood stuff I watched as a kid. American action movies definitely can't work with anime, but I'd expect the Bollywood style to work extreme well with anime.

    American movies take themselves too seriously and not seriously enough at the same time, always trying to avoid being "corny". Indian movies seem to revel in this corniness, the stories are far more genuine and the special effects being bad is part of the charm

    I’ve always been interested in One Piece but just can’t commit to that long of a show. I wonder if they plan to tell the story more succinctly (which might be difficult since my understanding is the story isn’t finished yet). If they do, I might check this out

      I was really enjoying watching the anime with my brother, it was one of the only ways we could stand to be around each other lol, so I was actually glad it had 1000+ episodes. Then there was a drastic shift in the over-sexualisation. In the beginning there are crazy proportions and little clothing, sure, but it didn’t bother me much. Then suddenly every episode started featuring a woman’s shirt bursting open, or a guy would sexually harass/assault women in “funny” ways. Apparently the creator married a very busty woman and claimed all the extra focus on tits was a loving tribute to his new wife 🙄 I just couldn’t stand it anymore, which was a shame because I was still pretty invested in the story.

        Definitely, but I’d be willing to bet a good chunk of those 1000 episodes could be cut without losing much of the plot.

          I've never actually watched it, but my wife does, and I've seen enough to say you're 100% right

          You're right. Though unlike what a lot of others will tell you, there's not a lot of outright filler. Most of the added time is from panning shots and characters staring and not talking.

          There's actually a fan project that re-edits the series to take kess time and improve the pace a lot

    Kakegurui one was pretty good, it's not impossible to have good live action
