LoK Defiance on its own is kinda crazy, why not pack it with Blood Omen 2? i get not remastering BO1, did they skip 2 cause they didnt want to do it without the first? and Defiance is reliant on knowing the events of BO2, several of its plot points, including the fucking ending, wont make sense

the pacing of the adaptation is awful from that arc onwards, like One Piece anime level of reaction shots, flashbacks, and recaps
also in a just world we wouldve gotten a filler arc of the duos adventures while in andy's memories

finished the manga, onto the anime
Undead Unluck having its first big "arc" in which it blatantly state its overarching theme and concluding with a big tease of the MCs past be a fight against Spoil is very funny

everyone wants another Concord they can point and laugh at and feel smug about while forgetting the fucked up state of the industry that pushes talented people to chase trends and not make what they want

i do think the start can be offputting cause of the way it sexualizes its lead. fair assumption that it would just stay that way, but it quickly establishes that her being seen as just a tool and not a person is very much an intentional choice that is key to the development of its core relationship

and then again threaded the needle of actually developing these characters to the point I did care. and the fact that "oh i know whats gonna happen" is an active storytelling choice instead of just feeling like a tired cliche. also helps theyre all like a chapter at most instead of lengthy tangents.

when I was catching up on Demon Slayer & then watched the movie, I got sick of how formulaic the tragic backstories got. And I think I'm fed up them as a whole.
But Undead Unluck quickly being like "everyone got their powers at the worst moment possible cause God thought itd be funny"

the main big bad being God who establishes and personifies stringent rules into threats that the cast can actively do battle with also feels like a push back on that reaction to how a battle shonen should work as well

and it somehow manages to thread the needle of that being thematically consistent while also remaining still kinda consistent in its internal logic that it constantly pulls off really fun & surprising moments

Undead Unluck seems to be a battle shonen whose powerscaling is a direct counter to audience members who want a consistent power system
everyones powers are based on negating rules that govern the world and the cast evolves purely by changing the perception of said rules

parrying in Souls/Elden Ring is a build choice, one of so many ways to play the games, and not a requirement
Bloodborne narrows the build possibilites and in situations the gun parry is very helpful but not needed
Sekiro is From's parry sicko game (and I will die on the hill its not a Souls game)

im personally annoyed theres a Weyland-Yutani android character but if it means avoiding another movie as insultingly awful as The Predator, Ill take it I guess

oh i have! i think it being thematically rich is what turns it into an actual good movie. unlike say, pacific rim uprising which did not get the memo AT ALL.

id argue that the concept of drifting understands the mecha genre in a pretty significant and deep way. the mech being an extension of a persons body, but turning that to be something intimate between two people
now is it in service of a over the top, goofy, action spectacle? ya absolutely
