Lol!
Either I haven't reached that day yet, or I slept through it.
Damn.

I did sleep through it! I'm not Usopp!

When in Japan Club
You'd better know how
To make sure you eat gyoza
And not char siu bao
When in Japan Club
Your bros stay with you
But if cornered alone
Don't forget seppuku
I think it is on good track, and the last days come with a little push (that, if possible, coupled with new offers and last opportunities for the stretch goals to make people go up on their pledges, could give it clearly an edge).
Usopp? Unshippable? That is not what many 'dōjin' told me!
Magi 02
I don't really have anything new to say about this I guess. This show has all the pieces to be intensely appealing to me, but each scene is handled extremely poorly and nothing winds up carrying much weight. This is kind of the worst fate imaginable for what's supposed to be an action show where each set piece is tense and it feels like danger is always looming, but Magi misses completely on that.
And even canonically, how quickly some of us have forgotten Kaya.
That's not my name.
... Huh.
But, as I've stated before,
Luffy x Robin
Fun bags? More like air bags!
And the first thing you see when you wake up.
It's whatever, but it didn't really add anything to the episode.
It felt like a device just to force "the power of friendship" and had no place in the episode.

And finally, the plot thickens, albeit not without another weekly dose of absolutely great character interaction. I love this show.
Some random remarks, because I suck at parsing out romantic interactions for in-depth discussion:

I really thought that the delinquents were going to trash the chicken coop after their altercation with Haru in the hardware store. I can't believe they actually got roped into building it, hahah.
The "bottle pop" sound effect when Shizuku sees Haru shirtless was probably the funniest thing in the episode.
It took me until she was addressed by name to recognize Shizuku in her weekend clothes. She suddenly looked.......younger and smaller, somehow.
Japanese saws look really uncomfortable to use.

By that point you stop questioning anything in that series.

Well, fuck then. That's very disappointing, especially considering that the production values are so high.

They're really doing a disservice to this series by rushing things. Alibaba's characterization is all wrong. It took A LOT longer for Aladdin to earn his respect, and their interactions just come off as cheap. I'm still liking what is being adapted well, but it's still a major disappointment for now.
I really would recommend everyone who is/plans to watch this to also read the first 31 chapters of the manga. I'm confident they can do Balbadd right, but their treatment of everything before it will likely be pretty poor, and not just from a "manga purism" point of view.

What different would that make? I mean, the idea of doing an adaptation of a manga is surely to get people into the manga, right? In that case it would make sense to actually introduce people to the world and characters properly as this is going to be a lot of people's first time with the property. Rushing the beginning is something you do in an FMA:B situation where the beginning has already been well covered elsewhere and you're looking to please fans of the manga.
There really isn't that much more world building in the manga during this arc, a lot more happens during the second arc (the Kouga arc) so we'll see how they handle that. It does seem that arc will also be two episodes, but they might do a better job.
Also, who knows, maybe they'll get back to some of the stuff when the Balbadd arc starts, they might have just switched things up a bit. The Balbadd arc is the first big arc and if something needs to suffer because of time restrictions or whatever, I'd rather it be the opening few arcs than the real meat of the story which happens in the Balbadd arc.
I really used the word arc a bit too much in this post, dammit
If you take too long introducing your characters in the anime before you get to the actual good stuff, you end up with Medaka Box.

But the Magi manga was good from the very first chapter.

Another awesome episode!
Another awesome episode!
Blondie getting popped in the mouth not once, but twice by Haru made my day.
Totally seeing SasayanxNatsume happening in the near future.
And it appears we're about to have our first trial with the arrival of Haru's brother. Already praying he doesn't try and steal Shizuku from Haru. ;_;

I have taken Magi off my to-watch list.
And replaced it with Code:Breaker.

I'm just guessing Balbadd is better.

So my anime club is watching No. 6
First episode seemed good. Does it remain so?

It is, but not so much so that the stuff before it deserved this treatment.
This is really sort of damning given how forgiving you can be. Again, it's a shame it's turning out like this, at least for now.
But the Balbadd arc is amazing, and that's where the world really starts to shine.
I'd say the Kouga arc is much more important than the Dungeon Arc.
It's a DTL Bones newtaminA show.
Yeowch.

It's Yoshida. Your expectations should be down through the floor.
Depends, do you like yaoi?
It's a DTL show.
And if you don't know what that means, look out for Dedication Through Light's avatar.

I prefer Bara, but yaoi is ok.
Also googling doesn't tell me anything about DTL. WHAT DOES IT MEAN.
edit: Ah, boys love.
You'll come back, I know you will.
I know, but still, I think it's hard for them to mess up Balbadd, it's obvious they want to get there as soon as possible so they must want it to turn out good, plus Ohtaka is involved so I think we have a reason to hope the anime really starts to shine after they go through these few opening arcs.
It's that line of thinking when I wonder if some adaptations fail because they don't care about the audience beyond the original manga fans.There really isn't that much more world building in the manga during this arc, a lot more happens during the second arc (the Kouga arc) so we'll see how they handle that.

Just pretty boys doing pretty boys things like staring at each other, stealing quick touches, and more staring.

So, after taking a peak at the opening of the manga I'm kind of shocked at how they adapted it. Rather than taking the normal option of following the manga closely or inventing something out of thin air they opted for a third option: take various scenes from the manga but randomly swap characters out and replace them with other characters meaning that the scenes no longer make sense. What?
