    Ironically and chaotically: you should try it.

    The visual style takes getting used to, it is 1999 Toei a few years after DBZ. The funny but deeply serious style also takes some getting used to. It’s similar to JoJo’s bizarre adventure in that way. Jarring and confusing if you don’t get it, but it quickly makes sense once you let down your walls. It’s goofy and charming and inspiring as hell.

    I seriously think it’s really worth a real try. I’d be very interested to know your thoughts after even like… ten episodes, if you do try it.

    First ep is an arc all on its own, the next three are another arc, and then the next few are into the next arc. They just get longer and deeper each arc, is what happens. Even thinking about it makes me want to rewatch it again. It’s so good.

      Absolutely not. I’ve just recently watched the two seasons of ‘Severance’, wherein Ben Stiller evidently thought himself to be modern Kubrick. For the foreseeable future I’m not watching anything that’s more than ten episodes start to finish (with an exception for ‘Berlin Alexanderplatz’). I want stories where the author has something to say, with beginning and an end, and I have a large backlog of classic films.
