I cannot be appropriately hyped unless the Black Ranger is a black dude and the yellow ranger is the only Asian on the team. I need my 90s unnoticed PR racism to thrive.
So I just bought six volumes of The Five Star Stories manga for $6 but they're volumes 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, and 12, so I'm not sure if I should read them yet.
Damn, that's a good deal. Even if you never get the other volumes, you can just pretend you bought a ton of nice layout books illustrated by Nagano. Lol.
The Count of Monte-Cristo too, because I never imagined 'NeoRoma' would be so fabulous looking! And there is also what dimb has been watching recently:
If there's an Inferno Cop character thrown in I will put forward that all Imaishi shows are in the same continuity: Panty and Stocking failed to help the Real God stop the Southern Cross from turning Inferno Cop into a Real God. As the peak of human evolution, Inferno Cop's ascension drew the attention of the Anti-Spirals. The Anti-Spirals fail their first attempt to destroy humanity, which a young Lord Genome witnesses. All of Earth begins developing into a militaristic, Spiral society, hence the spiral towers from the start of Gurren Hen, and also the Spiral nature of the city in Kill la Kill. Eventually, Satsuki and her kind manage to lift a successful number of humans to the status of Spiral Warriors, including a student at one of the academies, one Lordgenome. He rises to the rank of greatest Spiral Warrior, has his mind blown by the Anti-Spiral Life Form, and ends the Spiral resistance. His memories of Satsuki's rhetoric concerning humans being pigs in men's clothing leads to his creation of Beastmen, and the stage is set for one Simon the Digger to start clawing his way up.
So uh, has Garterbelt been on a mission from God through a timeloop for all of history, or is he making that up? And has God been periodically sending him a piece of paper with a symbol on it from the beginning, or just screwing with him? Is Garterbelt's mission to stop Inferno Cop from becoming a Real God and drawing the ire of the Anti-Spirals?
I had flashbacks of the ancient 'Unified GAINAX Universe Theory' seeing these posts, and it made me see with redoubled passion how such awakening spirit will live on now through TRIGGER Inc., works. Thank you for this beautiful moment. :'-)
They just released Mirai Fukuin, the last kara no kyoukai movie. There is also another type-moon series called Girls' Work but it's been nearly 2/3 years since they have said anything about it.
There are also some drama CD if you really want more , someone made a youtube translation of them but it's been a while and i lost my history when google changed my settings 2 days ago , so i really can't put a link.

Speaking of which, this kinda brings to mind probably the only... "complaint" I have with KLK which is the current lack of an underlying emotional theme.
It's not so much a complaint but more of something I feel is currently lacking when comparing this show to the creators' other works. With Gurren Lagann you had the whole "Do the impossible" thing and with FLCL you had the underlying "coming of age" theme. Both of them had these themes more or less established right from the very first episode but I haven't seen something similar just quite yet for KLK since it's currently preoccupied with Ryuuko's goal to find the other half of the scissor. Because of that I find it a little hard to relate to many of the characters but I can still find them very entertaining. With that said, I imagine the show hasn't even begun to show its true colors just quite yet and judging by what people are saying for the third episode, this is aiming for something much bigger than what has been introduced so far.
Yeah, this just began and at this pace there could be so much on the road to make us feel for all of them. Remember the whole "burning characters drama" revolving around both protagonists that Mr. Nakashima mentioned a while ago for their first interview featured on Newtype about this series:
Kazuki Nakashima said:
Both of them are main characters. Their universe has uniforms that match an individual's talents/skills and give them respective powers, and Satsuki is trying to rule the Academy with that uniform's power. Ryuuko resists this movement. It'll be a sculptured drama centered around both of them.
Fleshing out that confronting relationship goes first, to create or pave a way towards that attachment necessary that we should feel towards the two characters, and their battle-forged understanding, for later going much more further than that (into that hot and passionate drama on the horizon!).
I don't know how likely it is, but I'd like that redone for the Blu-Ray. Everything else is so damn good, but for one excruciating second, they were walking towards each other and ohmigod it was bad.
Mr. Amemiya, responsible for this episode, was the poor one who subjected himself the most to something like B★RS, and that probably took a toll out of his soul. All that wasted CGI probably still haunts him to the point of trying things like that again and failing... give the guy a break.
Man, have you seen... ahem, diverse script translations for it? I'd recommend to everyone doing comparisons with other... well, translations and checking for more comments about the matter before assuring something like that.
And for that blushing to be such a clear sign of what it was holding her back! I think I'm going to miss that more embarrassed part of her a little... ;-)
Yeah, I have the impression Satsuki's willingness to even the field in a 'me too' and respectful way, to show what she is willing to do this soon, makes her the kind of prideful but not extremely arrogant antagonist that you are more interested to see where it can actually go next, and distances her from those smokescreen last-goal "villains" that only seem to move the strings in the shadows and talk too much until the final showdown.
The fault lies with her sister kuroka that teached her how to master senjutsu and the fact that she wanted to use those powers , she didn't want to use them before and that's why her growth was reduced. If you read vol 15 you'd know that ise lap is now a free territory for everyone with rules of engagement ( ise wasn't aware of this untill that point ) given that even kuroka & akeno are using this "territory" , koneko won't have a problem either
'Bout time we get another college-themed anime (the only one I recall being Steins;Gate) and being the same writer as Toradora I expect great things.
First let me say, this first episode was way fucking better than that of Angel Beats! The characters were introduced in normal-flowing way instead of being named off in one scene via list format.
As for the episode itself I really enjoyed the comedic introduction with both Banri and Mistuo in the same predicament. Then of course the revelation of Mistuo's puedo-ex-relationship with Koko was hilarious as well (especially Mistuo mimicking Koko).
The OP caught me off guard with its... flamboyancy? However I'll probably get used to it over time, ED is catchy as well.
We already had a Romeo and Juliet anime though. And may I just say, the OP was hilariously cheesy. I mean seeing an emotional scene in the anime only for a screaming engrish vocalist to start "YOU A-RAIIIIIIIISE ME UUUUUUUUUP! So AH CAN TOUCH THE MOUNTAAAAAAAAAAINS!" was too good. Engrish ftw.
Yuusha ni Narenakatta 03
I was expecting the show to devolve into fan service but tentacle scene already? Man keep this up and we'll have a beach episode within the next 3 episodes.
Another great episode, really enjoying the characters being introduced thus far. Really liking Linda
hairstyle is awesome
.
Highlight of the episode was definintely
the film club's welcoming party scene where Banri gets dragged off to the Tea Club's welcoming party next door. Rolling girl in underwear was just hilarious. As for Koko, I don't know what to think. Obv from the OP its high chance she gets with Banri later on, we'll see.
The music for this is still kinda bad and it looks pretty ugly at times, but it's so awesome that I can do nothing else but to love it.
This episode was mad hyyyyyyype.
A high amount of [REDACTED] also. Will make more avatars.
So I currently have three anime shows in my backlog list I'm willing to start on next. Any recommendations/comments on whether I should watch:
- Kurozuka
- Guin Saga
- Another
Have you seen/heard anything about these three shows? I haven't heard much about their quality or whether they're decent as they seem to be fairly unknown in the sites I visit. Except maybe Another which I hear it's good but want confirmation if possible.
I want to start with these from my backlog vs anything else because the rest (stuff like SKET Dance, Beelzebub, etc) have 26+ episodes so I can't go through them in say a weekend.

As for the whole "can't I tell anyone I'm a demon?" thing, I'm feeling a similar dissonance to that from Hataraku Maou-sama here, where the "demonic" characters are presented as perfectly good people in the here and now, despite the fact that they've supposedly committed all sorts of atrocities in the past that make the humans justified in hating them. It's not exactly the same (unlike Maou, Fino has yet to personally commit any atrocities herself, and hasn't professed any ambitions to go back to the whole world-conquering thing) but it's pretty similar in that the supposed evil nature of the demons is largely an informed trait.
Not that this dissonance particularly bothers me in such a lighthearted series, but since the show seems to be directly addressing the human hatred for demonfolk now, I do wonder how it's going to be handled.
