Joshua Fox You seem to be missing my point. The merits of high concept art and shows with long runtimes notwithstanding, I question why you would choose to warn off only beginners from the shows that you've listed? It seems obvious that you hold these in very low regard, so it stands to reason that your recommendation should be for no one to watch them.

I think the title of this article is a bit misleading. I was expecting a list of anime that are high concept art that's challenging to watch, or at least a list of shows that have a high barrier to entry because of runtime or potential cultural misunderstandings. But it seems like the author actually doesn't want anyone to watch these shows, as they are purportedly low quality across the board.

Completely agree, and this subversion of expectations is something this series excels at, and really drives its surprisingly deep emotional impact. Among many others, another notable character that gained my grudging respect over the course of the series is Endeavor. Never thought I was going to like that guy, but he does some incredible character growth in seasons 6 & 7.

I completely agree that any and all cosmere projects should be television. I'll go a step further and say that live action adaptation is a huge mistake. Animation may not have as big a draw for general audiences as live action, but I can't see Hollywood being able to create convincing live action versions of Sanderson's stories.

HungerEnder your reply confuses me; maybe you aren't familiar with the expression "hard pressed to pick a better (insert x)." That means I think they are highly qualified to do the job. I'm excited to see what they do with the series if the rumors are true

I agree that Lisa and Ben were in more danger after being "flashy thinged," but they were probably happier. As for who really got the happier ending of the two brothers, I really think it was Dean, because he died in his own and got to hang out in heaven while Sam was forced to live on and obviously mourned his brother to his dying day. Kinda feel sorry for Sam's family because it seemed like he was just going through the motions, not really living. I still think they should have ended it on the previous episode, with the montage and then driving off into the sunset. Would've been a perfect ending, but still left it open if they really did want another season. I don't see how they could go back now, in good conscience.
