    Netflix’s DARK, except it gets good from the very beginning and then destroys your mind in Season Three. (It still fucking nails the landing though.)

      I had this show on my watchlist and didn’t watch it for years because I was too lazy to read the subtitles (do not watch it dubbed; the dubbing is so bad as to not be worth it).

      It is amazing. I’ve watched it three times now and started again last night. Also, that theme song by Nena? Cannot get enough.

      I did myself such a disservice by not watching this sooner.

        I’m very old and I’ve never seen anything better. From the original soundtrack by Ben Frost, to the song montages at the end of each episode, the casting and, of course, the plot, it’s almost faultless. The theme song is by Apparat, BTW. I have so much of the music in my playlist it’s ridiculous.

          Ah yes, I don’t mean the theme song. You know the upbeat '80s song that gets played a bunch? That’s the one I mean.

      Good Lord, I tried to watch One Piece, but couldn’t get into it. Some people say it gets good around episode 60 but I didn’t have time for that.

        The live action was made for folks like you. It’s a great adaptation, loved by one piece fans and newcomers alike, and it has a much quicker pace.

          I have been avoiding it since I saw the Death Note and Cowboy Bebop line actions, but I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

    I would probably benefit from this as long as it was the right friend doing the forcing.

    I’m the Red guy when I’m trying to introduce my friends to the latest great anime show.
