Seitokai Yakuindomo 13 - The last episode already...
This episode isn't like the rest though, and honestly I don't think the change was entirely a good idea. Instead of being more jokes based on the manga, this chapter is mostly new, particularly in the second half, which is half a recap episode, half a fourth wall ignoring sequence. It felt like they were going for something from a random comedy show, not what this show usually does, and while it was kind of funny, overall, the way the show usually is is definitely better than this.
There are a bunch of random little bits, like a "promo" for a generic-looking magical girl show, "credits" from some romance anime or something starring the MC's sister, that aforementioned "recap episode", etc. The alst of those is the funniest -- it was annoying at first, I mean, do we REALLY need recaps in a show this short, but partway through it goes off the rails and starts being new random bits, which was amusing. Still, the show's better than this other times, when it's doing the kinds of humor it usually does. Those may repeat, sure, but they're funnier than this episode is even so.
Oh, the first half of this episode was probably better than the second half, that "credits" sequence at the end aside. Before then there were some more expected, typical SYD jokes. And on that note, I've got to say that I like the OP. It's interesting how they tried to make it sound like a school song, and not just a generic anime OP; decent concept there, and it's a good OP too.
So yeah, overall, season one of Seitokai Yakuindomo was great. The last episode wasn't entirely successful, but the first twelve were great fun. I'm hoping the two OVAs (both from this year) are good... I'll watch them soon.
25/75 no/yes? The manga's kind of amusing, if stupid. We'll see if the anime is any good though.
YuruYuri 6
Oh, now that's just a bit disappointing. Yup, they didn't live up to the Comuket Yuri episode. They didn't even bother to acknowledge that Chinatsu totally made out with Akari last episode! Still, it was amusing enough. The next episode looks good, and I think that might be where I call it a night.
Yeah, it was disappointing that the ending to the last episode was just completely dropped... oh well.
YuruYuri 9
Ha! Great twist end there. I must have missed something though, because why the Student Council President is a mute sort of went over my head. Was it some drug or... eh, not really important. Next episode seems to lack Akari, so I might just call it there and watch the last two episodes tomorrow. It's fun stuff, but they seem to have left all the plot points dangling in the wind. I wonder if they'll gather them in the next episode...
The show explained that she couldn't talk because of a side-effect of the drug that the teacher (who of course she is yuri with) gives her, because she tests drugs she comes up with or something like that (I forget the details). She doesn't seem to mind the side effects though, which was kind of odd. Or did a later episode explain that?
Seriously, I know Yami sucked but it's not even close to the worst thing I've ever seen, I think you're being way too hard on it.
Yeah, it's not THAT bad.
