Erin new OP
Holy moly, what's the hell is this!

The visuals are fine, even better than the previous ones that were just over 99999 death flags for the mum. I understand they were going for a more dramatic tone since we are going to get into the main part of Erin's plot, but the song feels like the singer is dying!
Kuromukuro 7
Wanted to make a "get in the damn mukuro, yukina" joke but ended up impressed how Yukina's melancholy instead created despondency in Kennosuke.
So it's a deconstruction of the deconstruction of the mecha genre?I can't shake the impression that, in certain respects, Kuromukuro was written very specifically to be the anti-Evangelion.

Jexhius is a known heretic against the Gospel of Ange.
There are some nice cuts of animation but neither battle was really standout to me.yeah but that dope 1st episode animation tho
actually i thought the gender politics is fine. maka is a great character and she and soul get along great. i guess skeezy dad and lust archetype medusa (well... not really) kinda roll around though.
can't really argue on the rest. it coasts on style for a while but i don't think the story is brilliant or anything. not even a 'generic shonen done real well' like MHA or anything (though the anime for MHA has its own problems). I liked it well enough until ep 30 or so tho
Because that's how anime works. ~*~*misunderstandings*~*~
In other news, I think Hundred has now perfected the slip and fall syndrome...
Nah, Yuuki Rito still wins, no contest. Only he can engage in subconcious definitely-not-sex with girls in his sleep and accidentally get in extremely harenchi situations with every single girl in the cast, ranging from alien princesses and bio-weapons, to classmates, school teachers, and even his own (underage as hell) little sister (not to mention his fiancee's little sister as well). Not even Koyomi Roriragi's got anything on him.
Yeah know, I've always wanted to watch past S1 for some good ecchi fun/comedy, then I remember that there is some shit like the imouto stuff in there and I want to jump off a bridge instead. Is there a way to watch for fun and avoid those garbage episodes?
I remember when she was a little loli in that one gender bender Nobunaga show.
Worse than ZZ? You're drunk good sir, go home.
0083 is actually my favorite, I guess people just don't get what it's trying to do. Surprised to see it's so hated here with such a passion.
All Out 3
Wonder where the MC guy fits in. With his size he can only realistically be a scrum-half or a fly-half but they seem to have players in those positions already.
I've made me some pasta and I've begun to see the resemblance to EVA as I kept eating.
Pasta, get in my damn mouth!
I'm sorry to say that we aren't a 0083 safe space!

Apparently. It's like an insane asylum in here with some of the most bizarre declarations concerning Gundam I've seen yet!
But that's okay, Gundam OT seems to be a friendlier place to discuss that particular Gundam.

Better than Sound Euphonium and A Silent Voice?
I don't think Kuromukuro is written to be pro or anti anything. It feels like a 90s mecha anime series which earnestly wants to tell an entertaining story with entertaining characters in its own way. That's why I feel it succeeds.
What's going on with Girlish Number? Is Crunchyroll an episode behind or something?
The dreaded injury to a starter. He gets to step in and saves to day, or gets pwnd. Either way, perfect way to make an intro with some drama.
Girlish Number airs on Wednesdays on Crunchyroll because reasons.
Isn't it on a delay cast? I want to say no one started streaming it until a week after it aired in Japan.
When's our Coach Cornbread makes the tough decisions anime coming?

Not to discredit your reading but I never really got that impression from the show because it didn't feel like it was commenting on the same kind of issues.
For me, the main theme of Kuromukuro was self-determination vs control. Most of the key characters, at some point, had to consider the societal/organisation structure that was binding them to live their lives in a certain way and ultimately reject that structure/organisation. This wasn't really a theme that Evangelion dealt with.
What's interesting about this theme is that I don't seem to recall many anime directly attacking the oppressive nature of Japanese society. For example in Kuromukro, the structures that are criticised are alien races/military bureaucracy which exist clearly as stand-in for Japanese society. Harmony does a similar thing where they critique the controlling nature of the system, but that feels like an even more transparent attack on Japanese cultural/behavioural norms.
Of course, it's hard to really comment on or decipher these ideas as an outsider to Japanese society.
