Hm, is the original novel really similar to the anime so far or is it worth a read?
The anime is apparently pretty in tune with the original novel so both should be rather similar. The manga specifically goes out of itâs way down the tits and ass route lol
haha. the moe bubble is bursting.
Anyone else watching Sasami-san@Ganbaranai?
So I watched up to the third episode of Sasami-san@Ganbaranai. The show is fucking weird⌠but is actually pretty interesting/charming. The show kind of feels like Haruhi but with a pre-monogatari SHAFT twist. What I mean about the latter statement is that there isnât much fanservice, but the show is very quirky and strange like previous SHAFT works. I actually kind of like it.
Just watch up to episode three. If you guys donât like it, no harm no foul if you drop it.
If itâs just random scenes thatâs find given how heavy the anime gets at times a bit of tits and ass wouldnât be a bad thing. Especially red haired chick.
Spoiler
Still pissed Squealer killed her (or at least thatâs how it seems at the second).
^ Story and mood prob wonât be the same in the manga I reckon since it seems like it gives no fucks and just does its own shit lol. Havnât read it so canât say for sureâŚ
My internetâs been slowed down and will continue to be for the next two weeks cause my neighbourâs kid decided to return home a month or two prior and proceeded to smash the shit out of my usage allowance before moving back out again (on the same day it got slowed, hmmâŚ). I can barely scrounge up new episodes of SSY, Jojo, PsychoPass and Bakuman as is, let alone get the newer shows lol (Sasami was one I was gonna look into regardless anyway, cause well⌠Shaft lol). At least it gets me going through my backlogs though. Finished up Tiger and Bunny (1st half > 2nd half), and only a few episodes left on Samurai Champloo and Joshiraku (shits fucken hilarious, constant jabs at the 4th wall and you can tell the animators are just plain having fun). Trying to work through next, the last 6 eps of Hayate 2 (for the last half year now lol) and the 2nd half of Shana III (fuck this trainwreck, zzzzz).
Can I just tell you the rest of Shana II to save you the headache and time?
Itâs prob some power of love bullshit ending where they either live happily ever after or both disappear/sacrifice themselves. Iâd still force myself to watch it either way cause Iâm a pedantic faggot when it comes to finishing off stuff lol
Iâm watching it and enjoying it as well. Admittedly, I find some of the story to difficult to follow. Canât wrap my head around the vessel of Ammyâs powers thing and the explanations to make it all make sense.
AKB0048 is the realest. Its pretty much star wars with idols. There are kind of the full JediâŚand the padawan understudy idols⌠they also have âMic Sabersâ There is also âradianceâ which is basically the force. And in episode 18, Grumbly fell into a trash compactor on the death star.

That saddens me.
Finished Psycho Pass 16, fucking love everything about it itâs perfect so far no complaints here. The ending of episode 10 pissed me off but made sense after I calmed down and thought about it. I think a lot of you are misunderstanding the showâs intent nd misinterpreting the actIons of people. So far thematically PP is aping Se7en as a genre piece that gradually morphs into a morality play.
wut
Everyone here thatâs watching the show hasnât done that at all. Unless youâre talking about something Iâm not, in which you need to elaborate on.
I just commented a page ago about how ep 3 was pretty fascinating in how it took the weirdest presentation and scenario ever and wrapped it all up in one neat package.
*I finished two series recently: Texhnolyze and Kinoâs Journey. Iâll start with the former which was a excellent piece of work centering chiefly around themes of existentialism, the human condition, and the role of transhumanism in human evolution. Also I would be remiss to forget to mention nearly half of the series is told visually by utilizing both symbolism and a bevy of cinematographic camera cuts and tricks. In fact in the first half of show youâll seldom hear characters engage in conversation or hear any sort of internal monologues reflecting a characters thoughts. A prime example is the protagonist dearth of spoken lines, he doesnât utter a single syllable until episode 7 or 8 and this creative decision works because no words could capture what the main characters endures until then.
I should also mention that this series has a pretty high body count despite not having itâs focus be on action scenes and physical altercations. However when the action does happen the scenes are executed briskly with a energetic malicious vigor that spares no expense at capturing how gruesome Texhnolyzes habitat is. The place Texhnolyze takes place is a desert filled with poor people trying hard to scrape by and ârichâ mobsters who control most of the desert city. Texhnolyze is a very dark, gritty show that handles absolutely nothing with kid gloves.
As for Kinoâs Journey itâs a lighter series in the literal sense of having a more energetic color pallet but Kinos Jouney (pardon the pun) visits the same places Texhnolyze covers. Albeit in a episodic nature in which the main character Kino travels from country to country on her talking motorcycle and interact with many different people and cultures. These foreign lands that Kino visit range anywhere from a land where everyone is telepathic to a country where everybody enters itâs borders must fight in a tournament held in a coliseum or else become a slave. In each instance a entire episode is devoted to Kinoâs experience in a unique country with characters that have a range of problems, idealisms and political conflicts.
I heartily enjoyed both series which were coincidentally enough both created by people who worked on Serial Experiments: Lain. If you liked Lain then chances are you would like either series to varying degrees. Texhnolyze is the darker, brutal more abstract of the two series and the series I would suggest to anyone who likes their series on the heady and abstract side of the spectrum. In contrast Iâd recommend Kinoâs Journey to just about anyone. Itâs a easy show to digest and could appeal to just about anyone from people who like fantasy to people who like introspective works to people who just want to be entertained by a good story.
I give both Texhnolyze and Kinoâs Journey a 8.5/9 *
Seitokai no Ichizon
Werenât you people crazy for this show when it first came out?
I havenât heard a mention since it started airing again.
Its pretty good.
Maybe it was seitokai Yakuin domo that people liked.
People liked Ichizon, and Yakuindomo is pretty different from what i understand (only watched the latter, not the former).
One is about a guy who joins the all girl student council (comprised of a blond twin tailed loli, air headed president and cool older sister) while the other is about a guy who joins an all girl student council comprised of a blond loli, air headed president, cool older sister and athletic genki girl)
I hated Ichizon. Show tried to take itself a bit too seriously with everyone having such huge tits and not enough fan service with those tits.
The only reason I know what Seitokai no Ichizon is is because I looked up Yukoâs VA from Nichijou and apparently that was one of her first shows or something. I found it pretty boring, I would almost say, useless, but maybe thatâs because i didnât get 80% of the anime references. But I try not to be too hard on comedies as theyâre pretty subjective imo.
On that note, everyone in Nichijou should of won a reward for astounding voice work. Yuko and Mio especially. Nichijou for life!
