Probably, everyday trash can always be fun, lol.
I'll try to go back, but it was confusing me....
I need to focus...
The reason why I mentioned this was I saw that the artist who drew the Netoge designs for the anime is also in this upcoming trash as well, haha
How interesting you find out about things from a random RT.
Idolm@ster CG S2 05
Another fine episode with multiple interesting themes and neat presentation but before that, major WTF revelation:
- this episode does explain why they act the way do as well. Kanako and Chieri were really interesting to watch - both were acting out of their fears to a point that they become irrational.
I noticed how Chieri in particular was relying on superstition to retain her confidence but didn't expect the show to call it out and even advice against doing that which was impressive. Kanako rewards herself with candy/sweets, you see her trying to take a cookie as soon as the Producer said something positive about her performance but when Chieri says they didn't do well, she hesitates to eat. Eventually, Kanako ends up dieting and jogging which would seem fine but she is basically punishing herself for not doing well. It reached to a point that her punishment interfered with what she was striving for. Chieri and Kanako did their job as some sort of an obligation when they really needed to get involved in the work.
Towards the end they learn that they are too caught up on worrying and that they need to smile - catch is, you can't truly smile if you're not having fun so they decide to let go of the worrying, as much as they could which is fine because it doesn't happen in an instant. They decide to have fun, generate curiosity before actually getting to the meat of the work.
I am increasingly bitter over my inability to indentify and articulate the visual direction of the show precisely but I have to say this episode looked great on multiple instances, interesting perspectives in particular.

Easy there, Mikazuki. You don't want to go randomly choking Gjallarhorn Inspectors and blow the newly formed Tekkadan's cover. They didn't run over Cookie and Cracker, so listen to the old lady about controlling your temper.

That was some of hypest sci-fi shit I've witnessed in anime, Adama maneuver da gawd, I was so iffy watching this because of the general nonsense premise and Jpop crap, but that patience has paid off in dividends, need a gif of the adama shield maneuver stat!

I mean, if you had looked through here:

You would have seen it clear as day, lol:
Yeah, that's one hell of a synopsis, lol.
But it helps that the Netoge artist is doing the designs as well.

J.C. Staff gave us excellent quality in Flying Witch. I have faith that they will do 2nd Plate very well.

It's not going to be the same people working on Flying Watch and Soma S2 though. (Except for potentially some incidental in-between animators and the like.)

Bungou Stray Dogs 11
Bungou is great, he reminds me of Kuroshitsuji's Finny. Atsushi is such a scaredy-cat even though he's so powerful.
Kiznaiver 12
The ending felt a bit forced, I expected something better.

I finally reached the moment where I need to take a break from My One piece watch. I just finished episode 192 and I think that concludes the Skypeia arc. I enjoyed it but I sometime feel they drag the story a bit too long and it's a problem I felt they had with the previous arc too(Crocodile).
Anyway time to put it on hold for a while! I feel like if I continue too fast i'll start hating it like fairy tail.
Oh well after 2 months its about 20% done.
I think i'll start Barakamon soon since it looks great.

After short filler arc you are entering to the best One Piece arc though (Water 7/Enies Lobby). Skypiea is usually regarded as one of the lesser arcs of One Piece. Still of course if you are feeling little tired with the series maybe a break is good option so that you can enjoy Water 7 as much as people usually do.
So a cheap garbage moment that throws out most of the good qualities of the show and sends it on a downhill spiral until the finale.

I just realized ALTIMA is back!
Now I just need it to have three osts, Onoken, Mintjam, and Hiroyuki Oshima are a must. I dont see any of the music staffs listed on the staff lists

I'll take that into consideration! It's good to know since I found the last 2 arcs to be too long and kinda boring at times. Also yea I need a break since I don't want to force myself in a way that it will lessen my enjoyment of the show. But I will continue! I wanted to watch One piece since it's my best friend favourite anime.
Good to know

So we're in between seasons, so there isn't much to talk about.
So I decided to go back and check out a show that I initially dismissed. Granted, it might be because of the vicious head cold I'm suffering form, but Active Raid is okay in a bad way if that makes sense. It's at its best when it's being stupid, like having a girl in a mecha suit dancing like an idol to distract an enemy. We need more of that, and less boring school hostage situations.

In lieu of anime and AX being in a few days and me being lazy on backlogs and ZTD I decided to do something far more masochistic and self flagellating then watching anime so I started Drakengard 1 and I hate myself
Kizu is the only Monogatari part where the dude to girl ratio swings to majority dudes
So much hype.
I'm really hoping it lasts until September 12th so that I can go and watch it in theaters.
That game... I thought if I kept unlocking ending after ending the true end wouldn't be some twisted nightmare, how wrong I was.

I'm really just trying to shrink my watching list on Mal before I get into the summer season at this point.
I've come to the conclusion that this show isn't actually about someone with swag and is cool or anything of the sort. Instead, its really about someone who is thrown into situations and solves them in ridiculously convoluted ways, though he does them well. The moment I though of the show as that instead of a "swave guy being swave" it became much more enjoyable. I started looking forward to the ridiculousness of it all rather than the cool, and the show delivers on that front. Its definitely better than I would have thought based on the first few episodes, thats for sure.
Not sure i'd say I recommend it, though. But you can do worse with your time!

Nah, I wouldn't say that.
I feel like the good qualities that were in the first seven episodes of the show are still there. They're just in a more crazy situation. The fact that the characters manage to still have these grounded personalities with all the wacky stuff going on around them just made the show more enjoyable for how it kept one-upping itself for me.
I mean, if you wanted it to stay realistic throughout the entire show I get why someone would be disappointed, but for me, one of Samurai Flamenco's main strengths was how it was constantly playing with my expectations, and the fact that it was able to have decent character writing along with that is what makes it legitimately good, not just List good, in my opinion.

Tanaka-kun is always listless - 7
Tanaka at the beginning reminds me totally of Mr Burns lol.
I wasn't quite expecting Tanaka's
but it made for a pretty amusing dynamic with Ohta. Series has been great since introducing Echizen and every new character does well to help bring a different type of comedy each episodes.
Funnily the ending itself wasn't the most messed up bits, it's the stuff in between.
I was there on launch day, I was promised some mismash of Panzer Dragoon and Dynasty Warriors by the gaming media, instead I got something that prepared me for every anime ever.
