  • Damn, nobody say Megalobox yet?

    The first season is a perfect rendition of the classic sports underdog story. It's wonderfully animated with this gritty style that evokes the best 90's hand drawn animation and a banger soundtrack. It's not going to surprise you or challenge you, but it's a great time cheering for the scrappy poor kid taking on the champ as always.

    The second season, aka Megalobox: Nomad, is a uniquely thoughtful look into the fall from grace. Grief, loss, death, drug use, coming to terms with being past your prime. Season 1 being such a great rendition of the classic underdog story sets this up so well. For <reasons I wont disclose> Nomad was aimed perfectly at me when I saw it, but I don't think you need <redacted> to love it. Also, the soundtrack is somehow even better.

    I mean too be fair, neither search would have worked with the titles you gave in the OP. It's possible you're using a completely valid mirror or alternate link. The Spare Me Great Lord link also wasn't tagged as English translated as the subs were only in the comments.

    When you're searching for obscure stuff like this you've got to try alternate titles and remove some of the filters. As Nyaa is a primarily English speaking audience, comments on a non-translated torrent likely are about translation.

    The /r/Piracy megathread is a pretty good source if you can't find anything on your usual sites: https://old.reddit.com/r/Piracy/wiki/megathread



  • I was making posts on it a little while ago while I was in the high highs of Season 2, but I have to be honest the later half was kind of disappointing on rewatch.

    Jool's super scream every episode she's in of Season 3 caused me actual pain. I'm a little sensitive to sound, but even if you're not this is still the most annoying shtick for a character ever imagined. John is also no longer devolving into madness, now he's angsty and it's a lot less entertaining. The one real standout episode is the one where D'Argo and John have to rescue Jool and Chiana after a bender. I have some problems with it, but the dynamic between the boys is very fun.

    Season 4 ditches Jool, which is a huge plus, but the show is clearly running out of ideas at this point. It's much lower energy and it's recycling a lot of earlier stuff. John strapping a nuclear bomb to himself is a great moment, but it is just a moment in an otherwise pretty underwhelming three parter. This season is also the most problematic of the bunch. Rape, transphobia and the episode where it's revealed D'Argo was a wife beater, but it's okay because he didn't kill her.





  • I never really liked frell as a replacement for fuck honestly, the sound is a little too round to put energy behind it. Was best when it was used in a sort of defeated, resigned reaction to things getting worse. Because of course it's getting worse.

    The swears from Expanse's lang belta are my favourite, ya lik pashang! Easily the most creative of sci-fi swear replacements, the intent still carries through clearly to the viewer and they have good range. Though it wasn't used to escape censors.

    Frak from BSG gets points for still being able to convey the same range as fuck, but loses them all for being the least creative.

    but they are not in the nya site.

    I see both on nyaa.si

    Edit -

    Spare me Great Lord S2 (check comments for a link to English subs): https://nyaa.si/view/1787787

    Emo Faze: https://nyaa.si/?f=0&c=1_2&q=law+of+devil

    I know nothing about either series so it's possible I'm looking at the wrong thing

    yeah because everyone uses Discord as a replacement for web sites even though it's a terrible format for storing and searching information



  • The worst is the next rung up from "small business owner". The guy who might own a few small business and/or some investment properties. Still an ant in the eye of the Amazons of the world, but has vastly more power to victimize a larger number of people.

    These are always the most fucking disgusting, pathetic, annoying and cruel people I have met. They brag about all the awful shit they do to people and they get away with it. Rapists, thieves and wife beaters the lot of them, but actually having the money to shield them from any blowback in the way the petty tyrant who just owns like a restaurant or something does not.
