New Moretsu Space Pirates PV. Doesn't look too hot, sadly. Oh well, at least NissAnime turned out great.
Natsume S3 10 - 11
Basically the arc was:
All about guy love. Natsume who is basically too used to being alone, tries too hard to not involve his friend too much despite his friend being one of the closest to understanding him, who at the same time is trying to understand him more and gets a taste of what Natsume sees.
Natsume sees through the demon that he's helping, that sometimes being too kind can be hurtful to those closest to you, with this theme running throough this whole season I do wonder what they'd cover in the 4th season without standing on their own feet.

You know, the incest part, while always uncomfortable, has never bothered me more than Nanoka's age. The age disparity between the two always makes me cringe the most for some reason. And of course his friend laid into him, she cares about Koshiro and doesn't want him to make any dumbass mistakes that would ruin the rest of his life. Besides, you need that balance to the positive "tru luv" element to the plot. What makes the show classy is the even-handed approach that doesn't necessarily lead to anything good or bad, just disturbing neutrality. And that's kinda why it's all fucked up.
Oh, all this means is that it'll take a longer time for an adaptation. It's Keyshit, audiences eat that shit up. I eat that shit up. All this means is that I have to wait a bit longer, which doesn't particularly bother me.
You didn't finish Clannad.

The problem with this one, is that having a guy around ruins everything.
While the story itself is kind of neutral, the previews always struck me as really anti-incest. But I was sympathizing with Koshiro because I think she went in a little too deep. Yea, she's not going to be accepting of it, but given Koshiro's reaction to all the things she was saying, you'd think she'd not condemn her friend so harshly. But, even she realized she went too far and apologized later.
I think I had all of one moment that I even gave thought to their age difference, and it was only a fleeting thought. Incest only becomes a thing when you realize Koshiro likely didn't have any condoms laying around.
I don't blame him, Clannad was awful
after Fuko died ;____;
Well, when you care about someone, you'll go as deep as you can get. I get the impression that she didn't apologize because she felt she went too far in general, but because she went to far relative to how close she was with Koshiro in the first place. Basically, she apologized for being nosy and sticking her head into Koshiro's business, not for being justifiably disgusted in both the age and genetics of his current lover. Y'see, that's sort of the strength of the show: it's largely realistic in its portrayal of people and how they act. The kind of ambiguity of Koshiro's character is a strong player in that.

I'd like to see an anime actually using that premise. I mean, the historical figures actually finding themselves randomly turning into women and the story going from there - rather than just them all being women since the start and the world working just fine with it, which is how this always seems to be handled.

Nah, she apologizes because she was blaming Koshiro for the situation, but after talking with Nanoka realizes that she's fucked up in the head, too. But yes, I agree her initial reaction was realistic. I still felt bad for Koshiro at the time.
I actually felt it was pointless to continue watching Katanagatari after this episode since it was so badass.
Can't speak for the rest but Katanagatari 5 was a big drop in quality compared to the previous episode. Armor dude fight was boring as shit.
