Peoples who genuinely think that mob psycho didn't need a third season clearly watched the show when they were on their phones, how can you miss this hard? It was never about mob becoming the strongest esper and defeating the the big baddie villains, it was always about the characters growth, and season 2 definitely didn't wrap it all up.

I think that the more 'cartoonish-style' (as the boys called it) worked in favor of My hero Academia in the first season. Because it was so over the top that it kind of felt like a parody of western comic books. But this style got toned down as the story got darker and somehow the show never got the tonal shift right. It just feels stuck between a cartoonish comedy (which could work if done right) and these dark stories that get hold back by the inconsistent tone. I feel like Horikoshi (author of MHA) wanted to combine too many things together and it just didn't work as intended. (Btw I'm aware that this comment will most likely get lost and never seen by anybody but I just had to let my opinion out as I was a MHA fan back in it's peak and often think about this topic.)

Man mob psycho is an anime where the "Its not the destination its about the journey / friends we made along the way" thing actually shines and matters more than it wrapping up.Shows like that needs to be a slow burner, so the slower paced season 3 made more sense to me . I know they didnt have that much material to begin with but not going the movie route and making the season 3 was artistically a better choice. I understand connor is about the pee pee poo poo gamer brain fast action and prefers things getting done quick but imho mob psycho works better in slow pace.

Wow! They actually talked about anime almost the entire episode! I don't think they've ever talked about anime this much. I enjoyed it though. I don't need every episode to be like this, but it was nice. 🙂

Satoshi Kon got me into anime with Magnetic Rose. Beautiful short film. Definitely has some of the best animation I’ve seen in general with the melting dream part. Amazing vibes and animation all around. One of my favorite pieces of animation to this day.

I love hearing all their thoughts about mob psycho 100! Sad that joey hasn't caught up to it, so garnt and connor had to hold back a bit. Season 2 is absolutely amazing, but season 3 has a special place in my heart. It truly is a season long epilogue, and I enjoyed every second of it. Also, hard agree on playing the opening during the finale's climax! And the message of the song thematically matches with what was happening in the scene too!

this was such a good episode. i need to watch some of these anime. i liked the anime convo. you should definitely do more.

So many good anime brought up in this episode that never gets talked about, Golden Boy got me jumping in my seat, it’s such a great show that no one ever talks about because of the perverted aspects but the aspect of the unlimited potential for Kentaro to learn and become the best at anything he’s interested in just because he can and then moving on to the next thing is such a great dynamic and I know that’s a semi common trope in anime but you really get the feeling that he’s an idiot but that he genuinely puts in the effort and really cares about whatever he does. Just gushing at this point but this really opened my eyes to how much effort went into anime from the 80s 90s and 00s, especially with the last episode going into how they actually made anime in those days. So good Edit: Not sure if it’s been talked about before on the podcast but since Golden Boy was brought up, I recommend Great Teacher Onizuka, brilliant for a lot of the same reasons as Golden Boy, with the perv meter turned down a bit. Another old anime known for the reaction faces and clips but something I forgot about until rewatching it recently was the soundtrack, it’s simple and repeats itself but you never really get tired of hearing it

Haikuu has a good balance of hype and being grounded it gives the main characters a satisfying win but also doesn't let them keep winning the same way they have to adapt and get better and you watch there journey

They were the most formative years of their highschool career, and ending that part after the first year keeps that true for us. But the series was always going to build up to Kageyama vs Hinata.

Concerning Re Zero S3, I think the reason it hasn't been released or announced is that most of the White Fox animators left to do Mushoku Tensei. And S3/Arc 5 contains much more action than the earlier Arcs so they need a good team to do it well. But they have some kind of announcement coming (late March IIRC) so hopefully that will be for a new season. As for never ending, Tappei is currently writing the last parts of Arc 7... of around 11 planned Arcs. So yes it will be a long one.

IMO, the reason season 3 isn't coming out anytime soon is probably because it's primarily a promotion of the source material. And it kinda makes sense that pace is optimal for the purpose both keeping interest of hardcore fans and interesting new audience for years to come. Imagine if they hastily released like 4 or more seasons, but there is no more original source to adapt. It leaves awkward silence for like 3 years until the whole series is finished. There is no reason for most anime-only watchers to read light novel, since they already experienced most of the story, and most will not be bothered to read remaining books, i.e. it is hard to transition from watching animated series to reading it. If you think about this way, it all comes together (at least, in my head).

In regards to romance anime not moving forward, the thing that makes me appreciate Wotakoi so much is that they went "You know what?

Episode 1 ends with the main characters confessing and agreeing to date and the rest of the story is about them as a couple.

I watched/read it before getting into a relationship and basically twice since. Once near the beginning of our relationship and now a year and a half in. It's so..rewarding. I really wish there was more than 10 volumes. I feel like there's a lot more they coiod explore with it. It doesn't help that we are so spot on that couple. The only difference is that I'm more laid back and open about being a weeb, and he keeps it more under wraps. Like on the weeb side of it it's cathartic in how relatable it is. In the relationship side it's just a reminder to be more considerate of each other and communicate more. Again I think more people would remember it and be more attached if there was some more relationship progression and if it was longer.

@ 19:00 not sure if this would help but I remember that the stakes were a bit higher, if I'm not mistaken if you're kicked out of Blue Lock you can't play Soccer AT ALL, so you're dream of even at least playing nationally are gone. Not quite the same as "if you loose the game you die", but it at least puts it in better context

Also, stories about relationships are a thousand times more interesting than stories about finding one. Shonen romance tend to be the latter. That's why Domestic Girlfriend is unironically kinda good. Don't believe how dumb its synopsis sounds. An example of a shonen anime where they're actually together the entire time is Horimiya. People love Horimiya.

I mean you don't really go to Connor for nuanced intelligent takes. And I don't say that as an insult, this isn't a series that was ever going to appeal to him. So bad takes are expected. I was more surprised by Garnt saying things that were dark on paper weren't in motion. Without spoiling, I don't see many other shows, anime or otherwise, willing to show a particular breed of violence. Even doing it off screen is often too much for many viewers and MHA had the balls to do it without looking away. The only way that shit doesn't land is because you don't want it to. MHA is far from flawless but boy howdy do people give it an overly hard time. While simultaneously propping up alternatives that are equally flawed, if not worse. Bleach is a quick read because it's mostly vapid content, there isn't much to take in so you can blast right through it. Fun. But not remotely similar outside of genre. You know a series that has no danger to it? One piece. Is it still a great series? Absolutely. I don't mind people not liking MHA, but don't fuckin lie about why. It's ok to not know.

yeah garnt explained it perfectly, the thing with my hero is that i just cant get invested in any of the characters, like at all. im someone who is easily attached to anime and can get very sentimental yet i couldnt bring myself to care about anyone or anything that was happening in the anime. so when things happen to these characters, i feel nothing. and none of them feel interesting to me aside from endeavor

As much as I know making anime is a lot of work. I'm more curious about what's going on with Madoka Magica "Turning the tide on Walpurgis.
