Poor Queen bug.

I like individual episodes like this. It feels like a few Stand Alones in GitS.

Okay so my friend just suggested an anime called silver spoon or gin no saji and I'm wondering what you guys think (for those who have seen it)? Is it feel-good? Did you enjoy it? What were your thoughts on it?

The few people who stuck with Silver Spoon had really great things to say about it.

The first season is middling, the second season is excellent and well worth getting through to see.

Yo that's one of my favorites in recent years. It's inspirational and educational and heartwarming and fun and easygoing.

It's good.

It's true. The series is in all likelihood going to end with all the force of a small cow being pushed over. Not a train crash.

Also, don't push small cows. They're tiny and adorable.

Kino's Journey Episode 1

Interesting way to reveal she's packing...

You know, I really appreciate stories that just begin. No lengthy infodump, no lengthy flashback, or even flashforward.

Also is it normal to bring your bike into a fancy room? Do motorcyclist do that in real life, and I never realized?

Well yeah, it's no surprise this society fell apart. Everyone basically became 50% psycho mantis. Also people probably initially think every new individual they encounter is threatening on some level.

That said, while the issue isn't resolved, and Kino just continues on her way, the episode ends on a note of optimism.

I need to rewatch Kino's Journey. I remember it being one of my absolute favorites in my early years of anime consumption, but that was many years ago.

It's really good. There aren't really many shows which dwell on Japan's agricultural industry and the countryside settings, so that alone makes it pretty unique. The fact that it is well written and has a cast of great characters is also a huge plus.

Kino's Journey is freaking fantastic and it is a real shame it doesn't get mentioned a lot in here. Out of all LN adaptations it's one of the best ones.

Yeah. And it went in some surprising areas for me, touching on some pretty serious issues that resonated with me a fair bit coming from a family where part of it are former farmers.

Well that escalated quickly.

Kino is a odd heroine. She's stoic, but helpful. She worries about little things, like the morality of killing a rabbit not for herself, but others.
She kills three men in self-defense with relative ease. Afterwards, she worries about how close she came to dying the process. Then she returns a ring to one of the men, because she felt she didn't help him.

It's rare to see that in anime to be honest. Characters, who aren't villainous, worrying about how close to death they were.
The whole scene really gives weight to Kino's character and her life.

4 Moscow Mules later and I am the most sober person in my house right now. Watching Kyousougiga. I was socializing with the neighbors, but the 14 year old next door was trying to come over and I felt this was a poor decision to make at this point in my life so I excused myself.

I had a lil to drink.

Watched the force awakens today, it was good.

I think i'm gonna make a anime review youtube channel. Been wanting to do that for a year and a half. I'm getting a tablet with a wacom digitizer, so maybe i'll actually be able to do it this time.


IDK.... I'm not confident in my scriptwriting... I'll give it a shot.

Btw, I'm watching Castle Town Dandelion, its good. I'll give my full impressions when i'm done. People should watch it, its good.

hehe. :p


Happy new years guys!

Woooooooo.

He's too straightforward and doesn't really engage discussion well with the class at first, in my opinion. Often he just tells the student his own raw opinion and then tells the group to decide important matters on their own when he leaves, not being in immediate reach.

I think he is well meaning and wanting to work properly is commendable. His social skills and methodology are lacking though. However, he does get better at it along the way.
Click to expand...

I honestly think he's fantastic. He's a super-realistic, very dedicated band director. And that he even let them choose what they want to do, and decided to put in his all towards what they told him they want was just great. They said they wanted to go to nationals and compete, so that's how he decided to teach them. He didn't try to win their affection to get them into it. He just laid everything out, didn't bullshit them, and got straight to the point. And when you're dealing with a bunch of juveniles, i've found that it's usually the best method i've used for teaching my private students.

I would've killed to have a teacher like him when I was in high-school band. And when he says "Please don't waste my time" and walks out? You should see how some of the foreign orchestral directors i've worked with have been (especially the Germans). The teachers who are all fun and games rarely get shit done compared to the ones who are there to make and perfect music, speaking from experience.

And to your one other point; there's a pedagogical method behind giving the students the decision-making powers based on director suggestions too. One I always find is usually extremely effective in the field of music.
hosannainexcelsis said:
Taki could certainly baby the students more, but I appreciate that he is of the mindset that the best education happens when students are engaged and participating. He explicitly told them that they could either make good memories or work towards Nationals, and almost everyone wanted to work towards Nationals. He took them at their word. Sooner or later you need to learn that pretending to be serious while not actually being serious is just going to make more trouble for you in the long run.

I'm impressed that he is able to keep his cool given how disrespectful the band members are towards him. If a band gave me the garbage they gave him, I would throw my baton at them.

Sound Euphonium 7

I have to say, I'm seven episodes in and have seen absolutely no sign of the "yuri pandering" that I've seen this show loudly criticized for in certain quarters. I have to conclude that there are a lot of idiots watching anime. Not that I didn't know that already, but you know.

There's one episode where a lot of people didn't pick up on their tone of voice and took everything that was said at face value instead of reading the situation.

I liked the song that was playing at the end but that's about it, I really wasn't invested in all the fight scenes before that. I felt kinda awkward watching them.

I guess I'll watch Rolling Girls #8.


Naoki Kobayashi and Norio Matsumoto had extensive participation in the movie as unit directors, animation supervisors, and storyboard artists along with key animation responsibilities. The sequences involving the aforementioned two are the best parts of the film, with Kobayashi handling the minute-and-a-half opening fight all by himself. It was a good showcase of the youngster’s talents in effects animation and martial arts sequences, though the quick cuts in the melee combat parts made it hard to see at times.
