    I want to watch season 2 of Dark but I don’t have it in me to rewatch and get my brain organized for season 1.

        I am gonna disagree here and say Dark only gets worse over time. To be honest, I have not even finished it, because it became super silly.

          Then you missed how the end ties everything perfectly together and makes it one of the most consistent time travel stories ever filmed.

    My least favorite is when you go back to watch season 1, enjoy it, then watch the new season and you can’t even finish it due to how different it is

    Doesn’t happen if you only watch obscure >decade old single season animes

    Never mind the fact that I’ll never find another person who watched and liked From the New World, or Canaan, or Flip Flappers

      Canaan was the shit! Try finding fans of Bubblegum Crisis, Noir, Eatman, or Bakumatsu Kikensetsu Irohanihoheto; 90s anime kids don’t get together and have rewatch parties lol

        I wasn’t kidding about the one year thing, I’m back! All of these shows were great. You weren’t kidding about Bubblegum Crisis, I can’t believe I put off watching it for so long, it was rad as hell. Noir was my favorite of these suggestions, literally the only thing that keeps it from being a 10/10 is the distracting lack of any blood. Bakumatsu was super interesting—it’s cool seeing a show where half of the characters have Wikipedia pages. There’s a certain kind of person who both has a deep interest in the Boshin War and likes historical fantasy, for whom Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto is the best show ever made. I can’t bring myself to say that Eat-Man was good, but the concept is interesting, and I absolutely adore Bolt Crank as a character. '98 definitely improved on '97, but I’m fond of both series

        I haven’t watched everything in your other comment yet, but I did watch Megalo Box, and it’s one of my favorite shows now—makes it to almost every list of recommendations because of the differences between the first and second seasons. It’s crazy how quickly it goes from shounen to seinen.

          Just found it, here’s a few other niche “older” anime:

          Real Drive - one of my favorite shows that really shows how far technology could go in the future.

          HeatGuy J - another sci-fi futuristic one that premiered on Toonami in 2002; the premise is similar to Blade Runner

          Dennou-Coil - this one deals with augmented reality, and it is what I think we’re getting closer to the more companies invest in AR. It’s also well animated and family friendly.

          The Big O - another one that premiered on Toonami 20 or so years ago, I used to make the joke that The Big O was if Batman was an anime with mechs.

          Desert Punk - I won’t spoil much; post apocalyptic dark comedy.

          Aaaaand one of my favorites with one of my favorite anime openings ever:

          Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - regular dude gets thrown into a marriage with one of the most powerful beings to exist

          See you in a year!

            A lot of those are already on my list, so I’ll make sure they make it onto my screen this year

            I forgot to talk about the many other shows I’ve watched in the last year! Unfortunately I didn’t grow up watching anime so I don’t have the nostalgia for it that most 90’s kids do, but the turn of the century is my favorite era of the medium. I’ve seen a lot from around then in the last year: Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf’s Rain, Ghost in the Shell, NieA_7, Serial Experiments Lain, Key the Metal Idol, Ergo Proxy, Read or Die

            I really missed out on this stuff when I was a kid. Ghost In The Shell (the films and Standalone complex) would have been a formative experience for me as a teen

          Did you delete your reply? I was going to read it again but can’t find it. I have more recommendations if you want, let me know!

    That‘s not bad. You could also get excited about a show getting 2 new seasons and then you realize they fucking suck.

      I mean the original is like 6 episodes, right? Thanks for putting that song into my brain btw. “With the kids sing of the future. Maybe kids don’t need the masters.”
