Just caught the whole run. Picked it up hoping to scratch a body horror itch. it wasn't what I was expecting,
I really dig the historical fiction setting; I have worked in public health and it's really amazing how much modern medicine has progressed in the last fifty years. The nod to Japanese stigma about transplants in the first arc is a great example of the kind of engagement with the setting that gave this show a Mad Men vibe. I would have liked to see them explore the limits of surgical practice at the time more thoroughly -- experimental endoscopy and ice-pick lobotomy arcs in S2? More of other surgeons being mere butchers.
It was great to see them avoid the trap of aping MASH or House.
The Shigurui arc at the end was a big disappointment, though.

Why did you think this?

I haven't read the source material.
>>135044381
It's based on Black Jack. Like the fifth most best selling manga of all time or something. By Osamu Tezuka, the guy who helped build the industry. By the guy who created Astro Boy and many other classics. Lots of people haven't read it, but they know it.
What is this pose trying to convey?
He had a really stiff ankle and wanted to stretch it.
But from his left hand waving around you can tell he's losing his balance and about to fall over, presumably because of his massive hair.
>>135044275
hes preparing to lunge forward at maximum speed.
the pose allows him to push off the ground with great force and twist his body for an extra kinetic push and give his punches more flow
plus it looks neat.
pose of jobbing
Why is it okay to show swimsuits but not panties?
>woman """"""""""logic""""""""""
>>135043873
yeah, I never understood why it's okay if the guy sees them in their skimpy swimming outfit, but not in their bra
>>135043895
>there are "people" out there who call themselves men
never mentioned on /a/
never discussed here
never appeared on the "watch these before asking for recommendations" charts
never appeared on those neither ass a hidden gem neither as a stylish one
had to know of it because it represents /hr/ in that pic that represents each board as an anime
why
It was when it aired. Everyone hyped the shit out of it, but then it wasn't that great or wasn't as good as the original OVA or whatever. I haven't even watched it.
proof that /a/ never talks about good anime
I dunno man.
It was fun while it was airing. It was the first show I watched with /a/ actually.
I unironically think the Monogatari franchise is excellent.
>>135043898
>being this ultrasmurf
I bet you think rowboat's not a total dickbag too
I'm actually watching through it for the first time right now and it's quite good. DEEPfags are just stupid though from what I can tell and Nekomonogatari was really boring because it was mostly stuff we already knew/saw.
If you could be any anime character, who would you want to be?
I would be Mikoto Misaka

Elfen Lied is getting a remake. Anything is possible now.
"Anything" will probably be something you never asked for, or wanted though. Sorry S&W fags..
I want to hug Maka!

>implying soul eater is the same caliber anime as FMA
>implying you don't already know it probably won't
>implying we don't know you think it could anyway because it's your favorite anime everrrrr

>wait, it's a mecha show?
Recently we have had too many original mecha anime that tried too hard to be unique and failed. Captain Earth and Lucifer are two examples. I don't have much faith in this one.

>>135043348
Hopefully not
S2 when?
Do you also see choices IRL, anon?
Translations never? Not even decent summaries.
We have only seen this funny face from Onii-sama when he was around with Mayumi.
