No loss. The last good one was in 2022 with the Death Note and Westworld parodies. One of their best episodes ever, even compared to the golden years.

Speaking of fall in quality, Westworld had so much promise! I didn't even know if there's a season 4 because I stopped following anything about it in the news 2 episodes into season 3. I think I could rewatch the first 2 again. But that's going to have to wait until after DS9 I started a couple days ago.

I’ll actually come in and defend seasons 3&4 of Westworld.

If you were primarily watching it for the Western setting, then yeah - fair enough they won’t be for you as they are set within the ‘real world’.

But if you were enjoying the meta-narrative of human self-destruction via AI - then those last two seasons are truly on-point, even more-so now than when they first screened.

Fair. I think I was just into the setting, although I would've loved some more of that samurai setting. Maybe I'll give it a second shot.

I only ever saw the first season. Maybe I'll get around to season 2 one day, but sounds like I can just skip the rest! Seems to happen to most shows nowadays.

Holy shit they made a Death Note one??? Righteous

Yes, and it was animated by a studio that assisted with the actual Death Note anime. Western shows parodying anime always have an ugly, super off style, but they went the extra mile and it looks like the real thing! Highly recommend it to any fan of anime in general. It's Treehouse of Horror XXXIII and the segment is called Death Tome.
