Netflix kinda gets that Americans associate anime with two things - Giant robots and dudes punching other dudes in the face.

With someone groping a girl for good measure every other show.

So give the people what they want. That being said, Dammit Polygon. It’s not super egregious here like Godzilla was, but still. Why do they get to do Pacific Rim?

I know it was a bit of a joke, but I would like to at least say that Netflix jumping in and nabbing sequels got old as soon as it happened. No more of that, please.

As they say life never gives you what you want, it instead just screws you around. Laughing

Wait... I'm confused. Is the clown the dude in the side-mask cause I was actually expecting an actual clown when I read "Evil Clown" and now I'm a little disappointed? Like, just a smidge?

I watched the trailer and thought it looked mildly interesting earlier today but I just can't with that animation. It doesn't look good enough to sit there and suffer through that shit.

His name is Clown and he's evil. Pretty straightforward.

I didn't realize that was his name. I legit thought it was a literal evil clown.

His name makes much more sense once you see his original manga counterpart. Whose name is Dr. Clown Jack Pudding.

Dude looks like a Final Fantasy villain reject and I love it to bits.

Takes a drink of soda, and then opens up link.

Coughing fit due to soda going up my nose starts, honestly you should give people a warning.

I honestly thought the guy(in the anime) was supposed to sing about the music of the night. That guy however actually looks like a clown!

I think this is the most accurate description of any anime you guys have spoken about yet. Hilariously, so. Thanks, I just pretty much watched it in a few minutes without even going to Netflix.
