Finished Kaiba a few days ago. I think I preferred it when it was episodic, but the last 6 episodes were good too. I think the art style helps keep it at a solid 8 for me.
I also watched Gankutsuou. I had to some of it at 2x speed because I didn't have much time, lul, but it was good. I've never actually read the Count of Monte Cristo, but I've heard this was a solid adaptation, and I'm more inclined to want to read that book now. The art was also gorgeous, although the CGI bits were kind of ugly. It was a really strange juxtaposition between beautiful artwork and incredibly ugly CGI fight scenes, and that mixture reminded me of Courage the Cowardly Dog, except that show did it well for the sake of horror. I think Gankutsuou just did it for budget reasons. But still a good show, 8/10, very well written and fleshed out characters too
except for Mercedes, who literally does absolutely nothing in the entire show. She should've been there at the end I never finished Hellsing Ultimate, so I might restart that from the beginning. Or maybe I'll restart Monster since I never finished that either. I'm also more open to watching Kill la Kill because fu
ck it why not.
