It is a theater release atm, not sure how many screens are still playing it however. It looks like it's got a couple days left in my city before its out of circulation, not sure about your area

It's not necessary, you could have a complete experience without it for sure. But I will say you feeling like that about season 3 doesn't surprise me at all, and it was a risk the team took that I personally loved but I can totally understand why people wouldn't like it.

I'll put it this way; the movie fills in the gaps that season 3 introduces, and there are story beats in the movie that I think only truly hit with the context of season 3. But if you didn't like 3 that's totally fine, tonally it's a mix of case 1 and case 3 of Sinners of the System, if you liked those two movies (not sure if they technically count as movies lol) you're probably gonna like the movie.

I could go further in depth but it will spoil things, just let me know and I can go more in depth :)

Fine, is not wanting a black person in the same restroom as a white person not an argument based in racism? I avoided this topic since I assumed you'd call it a tired argument, but if you want a more direct comparison this would be more apt.

And I did acknowledge that it's a much more nuanced topic when you direct it to restrooms, but the core of the argument is the same imo. You just didn't read that far in the comment lol

Would you say men not feeling comfortable with women in the workplace or a bar is an argument not based in sexism?

I'm not saying other people shouldn't have a voice on this topic, but that discussion is a topic that is based in transphobia. If a woman feels uncomfortable sharing the bathroom with a trans woman, it's because she has a predisposition to fear and feel unsafe around trans women.

Contrast it with the past, where men used to feel uncomfortable with women in typically male dominated spaces. I remember seeing an old news video where a female reporter was sitting in a bar typically frequented by men. She asked them how that made them feel and all the men she asked made a point to mention they felt uncomfortable with her in the bar with them and they would rather her leave than share the bar with her.

This is the same argument you're presenting. It would seem ludicrous now as we've moved past that point (for the most part, it's not a 100% solved issue sadly), but at the time it was seen as a legitimate argument, as sexism was still rampant at the time and it was the norm for women to be excluded from male spaces.

There is nuance to your presented argument in that the space that's in question is a restroom, which is a more private and intimate space, but the nature of the argument is still based in transphobia and I think should be presented as such. It's the root of the issue and the aspect that needs to be addressed before any headway can be made on the topic

And many, many, MANY more. These are all things off the top of my head, and most of them are fairly different in genre. It's kind of a broad request, super deformed art styles are common in assorted anime but it's not like it's a defining feature of all anime, so most recommendations you'll get are gonna be pretty varied.

One thing in common is typically more mature anime are less likely to use it, so that might be the only common denominator between all the stuff I recommended

I mean they're still fantasy books, just with a heavy lean towards romance. If your search criteria is just fantasy there's no way to know whether you want romance included or not. I get it, I'm tired of YA romance but once you know the authors to look for you can get related books that generally skew towards your preferred type of fantasy

Wayyyy too rushed, I'm very surprised to see this didn't get the standard 50 ep run that most AU gundam series get. Especially since it seemed to be doing quite well as far as I understood, anyone have any insight?
