Welcome to AnimeGAF!

Now, tell me who was the person responsible for leading you to HSoTD, so I can punch them in the groin. Repeatedly.

*looks at post history*

Hooooboooooooooo! :p
He asked for a zombie show, I gave him a zombie show. My hands are clean!

Those things are seriously creepy. Kyubey who?

I feel like this arc has almost overstayed it's welcome. Besides the rather shocking and effective opening sequence I don't think many parts of this episode worked and it all felt a bit weightless and unimportant.

Mexico. Our representation in anime is pretty non-existent apart from some sombrero-clad guys here and there.

Oh My Goddess - a romantic comedy and a classic. A boy calls to order a pizza and ends up calling the goddess helpline. Yes its as absurd as it sounds. He ends up with an unexpected goddess in his room.

Is this "Ah, My Goddess!"? Cause this sounds hilarious.

The main rival from Ashita no Joe was also a Mexican; Jose Mendoza. The Ippo dude was probably directly inspired by him:

It has a nice ring to it.
This episode focuses entirely on the Iserlohn shenanigan post-Yang Wenli. We see some dissatisfaction from the lower ranks stemmed from Julian and Frederica's appointments in the high echelons of the command chain (how that dude would have reacted in front of Berserk Julian is something that I am dying to see), but there are also some people who admire these individuals for taking on a position that nobody else would. The scene with mini-Yang was moving, as Julian realises what the authority he has been granted means for those under his age group. Even so, Katerose's sudden interest in the kid, not to mention the unprecedented act of having the audience partake on her thought processes (a privilege reserved before for important characters) strikes me as a forced attempt to give Julian a love interest that doesn't work. It feels very artificial, but I have to agree none of the romantic relationships have appeared to be believable at any point before.

On the political side of things we see further evidence of Truniht's involvement with the Terraists, but what I found more interesting was the idea of subverting the Empire from within by making it establish a constitution. It takes me back all the way to the first ending animation, with Reinhard and Julian looking at each other. Does this foreshadow an eventual takeover of the crown by Jesus Minci? Throwing guesses into the wind here.

Finally, this is the only time I've seen the show take such a meta-stance on the state of narrative in anime. That was funny.

I think we should hit OT2 tonight and get a fresh start.

No passive aggressiveness, arguments, impressions, gif-spam, or anime.

We should discuss baseball in the next OT.

I am in agreement with this proposal, we can talk about how Adachi is a god and how Touch is one of the best works ever made.

School Days 8

Damn, school festivals are serious business, huh?

Pretty disappointed in this episode. There wasn't much plot progression and what there was seemed pretty damn contrived.

So, Kotonoha has confronted Sekai about her and Makoto. Unsurprisingly, she tells her to stay away from him and doesn't hold him responsible at all. In fact, she tells him she'll put out for him in what seemed like a desperate last ditch effort to get him to love her again. On one hand, I'm thinking "Fuck you, Kotonoha", but more than anything I just feel bad for her at this point. She basically blames herself for wanting the relationship to progress at a pace she's comfortable with. She seems to really have self-respect issues.

Makoto didn't get the shit-hitting of the fan I was hoping for, but he hasn't weaseled himself out of this. In fact, the ground is sort of starting to crumble beneath him. What will happen with the dance will be interesting to watch. Seems like he may finally have to answer for what he's done and maybe even (gasp) make a choice!

This episode also had a really stupid ending. Setsuna kissing Makoto while he was sleeping just seemed pointless in the grand scheme of things, what with her moving to Paris and all. I really don't know where they're going with Kotonoha witnessing her do that, either.


Other points:

-Why is there a bed in the break room?

-Again, school festivals are really serious shit, ain't they?

-Can Kaisuke go away? He really isn't adding anything at this point.

Edit: More things

SOFTCORE PORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, are little sister cafes a thing? Please tell me they're not.

...

They are, aren't they?

You really can't figure it out?

You know, I was asking,
"Wait, are Kotonoha's classmates seriously running a love hotel in her haunted house?
But I decided it couldn't be that, because this show couldn't be that insane, could it?

...

What the hell am I saying, it's that insane and then some.
