Thermae Romae 2 - This is just a fantastic series, and yes, it's a very good adaptation of the manga. I hope this somehow gets more than six episodes.
I like how the MC, Lucius I think it is, feels bad about taking these ideas and then passing them off as his own, but he just can't resist... of course though, it's not like many people would believe him if he told the truth.
In this episode, the main character has to construct an outdoor hotspring bath, not something normal in Rome, so naturally he falls into another time warp and gets inspiration from a Japanese outdoor bath. (Hot spring eggs, huh? Would cooking it in the spring really change the taste?)
I didn't watch Milky Holmes so i'm trying to pretend that having a kugiloli makes everything better.
Seriously though, should I watch Milky Holmes?
It depends on what you find funny, really... comedy's definitely something where everyone's going to see it differently, everyone's sense of humor is different. I think it's quite funny though, as do some others; maybe give it a try and see if you like it.
I was about to question your sanity until I realized that you were talking about shit Aria.
Certainly was, yes.
Cumberbatch should just voice loli-Sherlock. Best Sherlock ever.
Who?
sora no woto is completely different from last exile.
Yeah.
Structurally, certainly on paper, they're the same. Tonally and thematically, they're fairly similar as well.
I can't think of anything at all the two series have in common apart from both being post-apocalyptic serieses with female leads, but apart from that they're very different.
You don't think it's like SnW? Basically girls trying to live in this post-apocalyptic world and do their own thing. Learning music and trying to stop a war in one, flying vanships and trying to stop a war in the other. It's just SnW stayed with the girls who and didn't bother with the politics of Rome or wherever.
Although, I suppose if they cut all that stuff, the show would be much shorter than it is.
No, they're quite different entirely... yeah, as you say (and I agreed above) they are both post-apocalyptic shows with female lead casts, but they're so different in every other respect -- genre, action, style, theme, art, setting, etc -- that no, I really don't think they're very similar. Last Exile Fam is at its core a flight and feet combat action series, really, with constant tension and fighting; SnW is mono no aware drama / group of girls comedy where most of the fighting is in flashback. And yeah both lead characters are eager optimists, but have pretty different characters and skillsets.
I think you're overdoing the similarity a bit.
Mononoke 1:
Well, that was certainly not quite what I expected. It was very good, though. The art design is out of this world, and this has some of the best usage of sound I can think of in recent memory. The episode managed to create some nice horror and atmosphere, and I'm really interested to see where this show heads based on the end. There was some great dialogue between the characters, too, particularly in the scene where they're climbing the stairs. I'll definitely keep watching this.
Yeah, Mononoke's a pretty good show, with unique art design and creepy, interesting story and atmosphere.
