Tiger and bunny

Blademax,

Go Team Venture!

lichtmetzger,

The cancellation of that show broke my heart.

AgentGrimstone,

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.

Holzkohlen,

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.

koze,

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.

cecinestpasunbot,

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.

Annoyed_Crabby,

Lmao, that is a fun mind bender.

cecinestpasunbot,

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.

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

somenonewho,

Oof altered carbon got me that hard. The first season is so confusing and amazing. The second season… Well

storcholus,

Yeah, that was sad. The first season was so good

Thassodar,

Ehhh first half of the first season was good. It took a nosedive midway with the introduction of the sister.

Dagwood222,

Loved the first volume of a new fantasy series. Wait eagerly for Volume II. Nope out halfway through because it stinks.

MystikIncarnate,

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…

@Blackout@kbin.social avatar

All 39 seasons? You are a madman!

SkybreakerEngineer,

Have to be a time traveler to find some of the Tom Baker stuff

Thassodar,

Dr.Who is the One Piece of live action TV shows. The library is so vast that I don’t know where to start.

poppy,

Thankfully you genuinely can just hop in at the beginning of any Doctor and be ok.

MystikIncarnate,

Well, the library is an entire planet, so yeah.

MintyAnt,

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.

sep,

Impossible to forget firefly. When i rewatch the first season annually. And select episodes more.

BigDanishGuy,

Firefly is coming back?!?

SturgiesYrFase,
@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

That doesn’t work, because I rewatch it so often I remember everything.

Dagwood222,

Babylon 5 had the right idea. Do an animated version; you can keep all the original actors and have much wilder special effects

Zellith,

I should watch Garth Merenghis Dark Place again..

DuffmanOfTheCosmos,

As I rounded the corner I felt muscular and compact, like corned beef.

@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

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

Electricorchestra,

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.

TAG,
@TAG@lemmy.world avatar

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.

Thassodar,

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

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Try finding me in one year when I’ve watched all of those shows

Thanks for the recommendations!

Thassodar,

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

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Except this literally happened to old single season anime FLCL which started getting new seasons fifteen years later.

HugeCounterargument,

Flip Flappers was a trip. Loved that show.

kamehameherp,

From the new world is phenomenal.

Express_pickle,

Worst part is having to watch everything all over again and then starting to remember what happens which spoils it

EmoDuck, (edited )

This guy does recaps and is actually good. Like, so good that he’s worth watching on his own

NicerLemmyUser,

Which guy?

EmoDuck,

Fixed it

thatsTheCatch,

Thank you for sharing! My partner has this problem and these recaps could be perfect

affiliate,

i wonder how he gets all this information. does he have his own recap guy?

RememberTheApollo_,

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.

SomeAmateur,

Yup, many shows just milk themselves to death.

Evotech,

Futurama season 8 teaches us about the dangers of binging

OrteilGenou,

Still waiting for Mindhunter… Guess I’ll wait forever

Zhao,

Literally, cause it was canceled.

OrteilGenou,

Aw

ImFresh3x,

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.
