    Battlestar Galactica (the remake with Eddie Olmos) . It changes throughout the series, and it highlights important bits.

    I’d say Firefly too, but that’s just because it’s awesome. Airwolf was the same way, back in its heyday, and it was cool in ways that knight rider wasn’t.

    But I’m here only for Battlestar today. So say we all.

    Surprised I didn’t see Evangelion on here (unless I missed it).

    What we do in the shadows.

    King of the hill.

    Bluey.

      I watched this a couple months ago and the song still randomly pops into my head every so often. Really cool show, with an exceptional intro.

      That’s on Netflix is it any good? I always say the title like DAN DAN DAN like a dramatic reveal

        I enjoy it, it’s a decent twist on “nerd boy meets girl who brings him out of his shell” that mixes japanese occult with aliens, a small bit of high school slice of life, and shounen anime type battles where cleverness wins. Characters are written well, imo. Good humor.

        That said, the season ends about an episode and a half past where it probably should have, on a particularly ugly cliffhanger when there were a few better cliffhangers they could have ended it on just slightly earlier. And there are two scenes, one in (I think) the first episode and one in the last episode of the season that are needlessly exploitative (not the best description) of a teen girl.

        Girl is moments away from being raped by an alien probe, with alien tech-penis visibly inching towards her in the first episode. In the last episode of the season, same girl who has now regularly been a self sufficient ass kicker gets cornered in a mixed hot springs and for arbitrary reasons suddenly can’t defend herself as she begins to be assaulted. Her head is held under the water as it cuts to black and the season ends. Just yuck. Apparently in the manga it’s not even the end of a chapter, so the anime runners went out of their way to end the season on that.

        That said, part of the inciting incidents of the show is a ghost stealing the male mc’s penis. So it’s not entirely one sided in terms of the sexual ick, but it seems to dwell on the shit against the female characters like it wants that to be titilating. There’s no cheesecake/fanservice shots of the male MC mid-sexual assault, but there are of the female characters.
