there is a webcomic you should see
''HELLGASM SLAUGHTER'' is a webcomic that i ramdomly found on TAPAS a webcomic publishing site, which look like some kind of kill la kill/ devilman/evangelion fusion. It tells the story of the devil of pride Belial who fight hell and heaven armies to become the new ruler of the cosmos, and there a lot of stuff about hell and its 13 circles. The story is full of dark humor and bloody fight with funny insane characters.
PS: take time to read cause there are lots details which can be easily missed sometimes (particulary in fights)

The chapter 13 is ongoing
Hey, I know the two of us have not been on the best of terms, but I wanted to tell you something.
I checked out some of those shows you told me about over the week. Mainly some of Martian Successor Nadesico, Netflix's Ultraman, Paranoia Agent, and School Live. Didn't really check out Beastars or Kino's Travels, but I might another time, especially Beastars since I heard it's been rather popular and the Manga is becoming very popular, not to mention is another great example of how not all anthro animals have to be silly and not-serious (like Sonic and Star Fox can be).
Funny thing is that I actually saw School Live before, but I didn't know that is what you were referring to, since I actually both forgot about that series for a while, and because I was more familiar with it's other title, "Gakkuo Gurashi."
I was only sort of into it though, but not totally. I mean I think that's a cool idea of super cuddly girls in a Zombie Apocalypse, but the zombie battles weren't cool enough and too slow. If it was more like zombie apocalypse stuff like Resident Evil or Left4Dead or Train To Busan in the really high-intensity Zombie-slaying stuff, then I would've liked them. Never made me feel sad or frightened though, not like Resident Evil had by far.
As for the others, well right now this makes me feel seriously conflicted. I didn't see all of them, but I feel that I saw enough. None of them really made me feel sad or scared or anything.
Heck Paranoia Agent reminded me a bit of a Creepypasta I once read, but the said Creepypasta was about on the level of scariness as something I'd watch on The Haunting Hour was, and not like Stephen King-level scary. Although said Creepypasta I read was one of the better ones, and it didn't pull any Jeff The Killer or Sonic.EXE or Laughing Jack-ish nonsense, so don't think me comparing it to a Creepypasta is a bad thing.
But still, these are seriously not E-rated though, and I now have seen plenty of evidence that I honestly cannot deny anymore.
Now this really changes my outlook on what is and is not appropriate for kids. It's almost like what you told me after you saw Animorphs. Now I don't know what to think anymore. Were those E-rated series I kept stressing the ones in the wrong, or are these?
I feel so confused right now. It's like all I learned about what is and is not appropriate for children from my parents and school back at that age, the ESRB, and all the anime and video games I had been exposed to throughout my life has been turned upside down. I vaguely feel almost like Shockwave in that one episode of Transformers Prime (if this is a good comparison that is)
"Nothing in this world makes sense anymore! Order is an illusion, Science is illogical, the Tooth Fairy is real! AUGH!"
Ugh, it's making me so confused. Now I don't want to think about what is and is not okay for children anymore, or at least for a while. Not just in Maho Shoujo, but any series as a whole. Heck it's now starting to make me question this for things such as Sonic as well.
That's all I am going to say. Watching some of those shows was indeed an experience that has altered my outlook of these series a lot. Take it as you will.
Maho Shoujo isn't the only series I have felt that way about, and get angry when the fans treat it like it is.
Definitely can see your point.
Looks like modern fans are too spoiled by comfort to the point they can't take 90s style violence.
And that's what pisses me off. It's obviously them trying so hard to push this mantra being part of the reason why we we're having less and less stuff like Sonic Adventure 2, Megaman X4, GRex, Gargoyles, and the like.
Though thankfully not all is lost. We still have things like the new Digimon Reboot, and Infinity Train. And we need more of this!
I mean Infinity Train is a kids show, and it had this death scene where we see a character get grinded against the wheels of a train and killed, with gray blood shown (it was okay because it's not red). -->
See? It's no worse than Maho Shoujo or RWBY! I keep trying to tell others this (including you). If Infinity Train could show a character painfully dying like that, then so can other kids shows!
And also why do you say "90s shows"? Are you saying that shows from the 90s don't count? Because we still have shows like TMNT 2012 and Infinity Train that have death scenes and such like this and for kids!
I really hate that cop-out saying "It's from the 90s so it doesn't count." That excuse does not hold much water!
As DazzReviews mentioned in his review of another terrible kids movie called "The Hero Of Color City."
"Am I the bad guy? It's just a dumb, goofy film targeted towards children who don't know any better. Am I in the wrong to be picking it apart? Should I feel guilty about this?"
"NO!"
"I may be 20 years older than the target Demographic, I may no longer have the babyish innocence that I once held, but I feel strongly that kids animation should not just be brainless babysitters. The bad jokes, the repetitive elements, the lackluster storyline, All of them are doing kids of today a disservice. Children are way smarter than their parents pin them out to be! Kids can grasp complex stances, and even if they don't understand every single detail, giving them something seriously watered down and tasteless is just wasting a child's time. Kids can grow up on the likes of Pixar and other surprisingly deep kids cartoons, so giving them more of this junk is something I will continue to shoot down!"
Yet look what some people commented on that, especially that AraelIsrafel guy. They're so hard-pressed to keep up this series-ruining mantra, and I hate that!
Hey, I thought I'd tell you this after what you posted on ConflictingViews today. Hope you don't mind spoilers (though Generator Rex isn't exactly a new show).
I should tell you that Generator Rex had a rather similar ending too in fact.
Basically on the last episode (which was called "Endgame" by the way), it had Rex absorbing these new prototype Meta-Nanites, which then Ultra-Charges his already existing abilities and causes him to transform into a new deity-like form called God Rex. After that, he then unleashes a Worldwide Cure across the Earth that undoes the effects of everyone else's internal Nanites and bricks them, effectively making it so that the EVOs no longer exist, (well almost everyone, three of Van Kleiss followers avoid the Worldwide Cure thanks to Breach's Portal Abilities, but only those three). Then finally restoring the world back to the way it was before the Nanite Cataclysm first hit, through Rex's sacrifice.
SOUNDS FAMILIAR?
Though I really disliked the endings to both. But I thought that I'd tell you.
