The more middle aged I get, I can just rewatch series over and over. They’re new every time.
Cuts down on streaming bills.
The silver lining to having sht memory.
Invincible
Loki also
In all honesty Loki s2 just makes no sense whatsoever. I’m ok with the show for the fun, but there’s no trying to understand it
If I stop playing a video game for even a couple weeks I forget everything in terms of the mechanics, crafting, and inventory etc and lose interest.
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
Oof altered carbon got me that hard. The first season is so confusing and amazing. The second season… Well
Yeah, that was sad. The first season was so good
Ehhh first half of the first season was good. It took a nosedive midway with the introduction of the sister.
Loved the first volume of a new fantasy series. Wait eagerly for Volume II. Nope out halfway through because it stinks.
Firefly is coming back?!?
Babylon 5 had the right idea. Do an animated version; you can keep all the original actors and have much wilder special effects
That doesn’t work, because I rewatch it so often I remember everything.
This is presently happening with me for invincible. Season two just started and I have no idea what happened to get us where we are.
But Dr. Who is returning, so I’m rewatching the entire series. Just got to Matt Smith…
Invincible is so good that watching s1 again is a treat.
Dr who… you could watch literally no other eps and probably be about as caught up. It’s a fairly contained show, even when it references itself.
All 39 seasons? You are a madman!
Have to be a time traveler to find some of the Tom Baker stuff
Dr.Who is the One Piece of live action TV shows. The library is so vast that I don’t know where to start.
Thankfully you genuinely can just hop in at the beginning of any Doctor and be ok.
Well, the library is an entire planet, so yeah.
They’re bringing back Sliders!?
OMG that would be amazing
The first one or two seasons were awesome.
That’s usually good.
If it’s been literally years, you know the new writers and director are probably going to screw everything up relative to the original, and there will also probably be a change in cast.
I’d much prefer to forget the original than have a good memory of it and be disappointed with the changes.
Yup, many shows just milk themselves to death.
Attack on Titan. I lost interest at some point in the few year gap.
I’d say you just saw the best of it
This is what came to my mind as well. I feel like its been the final season for a decade.
It’s so silly. I couldn’t have created a more fucked up way to release the final season if I tried.
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
Except this literally happened to old single season anime FLCL which started getting new seasons fifteen years later.
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
Try finding me in one year when I’ve watched all of those shows
Thanks for the recommendations!
You’re in for a treat with Bubblegum Crisis. I’d also recommend Nyan Koi, Evangelion (totally not niche but why not), and for a recent anime that has a 90s feel, Megalo Box. I’m a trove of anime suggestions lol
Personally I see it as a selling feature knowing that an anime is only going to be one or two cour. I don’t like to watch series that never end so it’s nice knowing that the story has a conclusion.
Who said that these anime ends after one season? Many times, they have a cliff hanger ending because the producers were hoping to get a second season or they are a faithful adaptation of the first part of a manga that is only half finished.
From the new world is phenomenal.
Flip Flappers was a trip. Loved that show.
This guy does recaps and is actually good. Like, so good that he’s worth watching on his own
Which guy?
Fixed it
Thank you for sharing! My partner has this problem and these recaps could be perfect
i wonder how he gets all this information. does he have his own recap guy?
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.
worth it though.
also there are 10 min season-recaps on youtube, etc.
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.
LOL. You must’ve been watching a different Dark than the one I did.
Time travel is a difficult trope to do well, because there is so much potential for paradoxes and other confusion. I always find myself going “So, if they could travel through time, couldn’t they just do X?”
In Dark, it started with a good premise, but the last season was a total wreck. It felt slapped together, like they had to come up with an ending in a hurry.
I believe the writers actually wrote much of the story line for the entire show before filming the first season. As such, it’s probably one the most internally consistent time travel stories. That said, I do think season 3 gets bogged down by all of the exposition needed for the story to actually make any sense.
I believe Netflix actually has a website with the timelines for each character so you don’t get confused. IIIRC you can tell it what episode you’re on so you won’t get any spoilers.
Lmao, that is a fun mind bender.
FLCL
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.”
Changing the animation style so dramatically between seasons destroyed any continuity.
I should watch Garth Merenghis Dark Place again…
Don’t get my fucking hopes up! If only they would bring this back.
At least Matthew Holness had cameos in Toast of London and Toast of Tinseltown.
As I rounded the corner I felt muscular and compact, like corned beef.
Go Team Venture!
The cancellation of that show broke my heart.
