Weekly Anime Post 54

Well, this week I watched netflixs' 'Cyberpunk Edgerunners' and it was alright, if you want something short to watch Id recommend it.

Afterwards I was in the mood for more cyberpunk shit, and I rewatched bladerunner 2049 which is not an anime. I also watched 'Serial Experiments Lain' and I honestly dont really know what to make of it, so if you watched it definitly share your thoughts about it here.

Idk if its because Im r-slurred, drunk or because the anime is just made that way, but a lot of stuff that happened just seemed pointless and only tangentially connected to the plot. Honestly, after watching it I wonder what even happened in those 13 episodes.

For example, wtf was wrong with the sister? Or what was the deal with her whole family anyway? Who put her in that family if she is just a program? I guess it was the god dude? And were her family all just programs too?

What would even have happened if the wired and the real world connected? Apparently she already has godlike powers in the real world anyway.

This is just some random stuff that came to my mind as I type this out. That doesnt mean I didnt enjoy the anime, because I did, but it just feels like they wanted to send some deep message about life and came of a bit pretentious I guess.

Finished "Welcome to HNK", great progression from comedy, through SoL into comedy drama. I just love stories where every character is a frick-up.

Watched a few episodes of Trigun while on a few day bike trek, and by watched I mean it played in the background while I was getting hammered ready for another hard day of physical exertion.

Waiting for the 10/10 and the return of Bleach.

Actually never finished Lain (nor Paranoia Agent).

I havent finished NHK yet but probably will soon-ish. I liked the island part most so far though, the beginning was a bit meh. The protagonist is just soo annoying.

The island thing is a bit of a mid-point in terms of a story. I didn't mind the protag — he's annoying because that's his character, you can't tell a story about a frick-up without him being just that. Maybe I'm immune to that side of the story because of things I read (think a /lit/ wash-up).
