I have seen the South Park episode with the BRACK FRIDAY BUNDURU! God that was hilarious. They've had at least 3 episodes this season that were decent to funny, so that's good. Time for the latest thoughts

Golden Time 07
Knowing how the events of the visual novel unfold, I gotta say that they sure have written around a lot of scenes to make them different and faster. I guess it's for the sake of it being a tv series, but it seems like the announcement they were dating wasn't all that big and then it was over. Koko is still adorable though, in her yandere way. Good thing Banri really likes the attention though, they are perfect for each other. I like how 2D-kun is basically every single guy and screams at them to stop being all lovey dovey as it makes the singles feel bad haha.

Samurai Flamenco 06

I gotta say this is by far my favorite episode and hopefully a sign of good times to come. Samumenco is finally using his training fully now that Stomp' em in the nuts douche is out of the team and running her own gang. The reasons I love this episode so much:

- Minimal screen time for the Flamenco Girls. I can't stand them. The show just started, I'd rather they do like this episode and focus on Samumenco's growth not these boring comic relief superheroes with a fetish for being way too violent. Seriously something needs to happen to them so they realize that they're going too far.

- Bigger screen time for Samumenco's skills. We get to see him being competent and actually superhero-like now that he's not being pushed around by that... woman.

Also
- REJECTIOOOOOOOON. I wanted her to get sadder, though I know really think he's either lying about the girlfriend somehow or she's cheating on him. Must be reason why they haven't shown her.

- Most importantly, DEM SAMUMENCO weapons. The staplers were fantastic, and I like how they're street legal since they're office supplies. He was really awesome with those stapler nunchucks but the winner goes to the measuring tape hookshot. The Zelda nerd in me squeed.

No love for "He's a mu-monster!" "THE NINJA KILLER GINNAI IS IM-MOR-TULLLLL!"

or

"What's wrong with you? Effeminate man crying of the death of a woman." "SHUT UP YOU BITCH YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!"

...and not even the bait line?

Okay main dude's freaking out at that point did get a laugh out of me.

Corvo: You gotta understand that the campy dub is the key factor for these titles, not the story or the concept. Black Lion subbed is rather boring, actually, because everything is played too straight to be amusing. The dub is what brings out the fun in the show.

Anyway, here's a bit of Dark Cat so you can try before watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wR91v-97HM

LOL, jump cuts.

People don't get the Black Lion dub?

how

Must not enjoying a thing always boil down to not "getting" it?

Also I didn't "get" Glass Fleet so whatever.
 
Does GD even have a budget anymore? I need someone to suffer through it to let us know! Lol.

It's on my back up list of shows whenever I feel like sitting down to watch them along with Coppelion, Beyond the Boundary, Tokyo Ravens, Quartet, Unbreakable, and Strike the Blood. I dropped Samurai Flamenco, zero interest in seeing any more

When it comes to stuff like the Black Lion and Glass Fleet dubs? Absolutely.

Oh no, I am not a high brow appreciator of the truly awful. Whatever shall I do?

If It makes you feel any better, I don't care for Garzey's Wing! shit made me so mad

I'm glad I saw it before Victory. If I'd seen it after Victory I would've sworn a lot more and had a lot more to say about what I thought of Tomino as a writer. Dub had some funny points for me, though. I didn't need a PHD in Shitty Anime Appreciation to enjoy it.

Did you know that wasn't the only show set in Byston Well?

noitaminA once had shows like Mononoke, The Tatami Galaxy, Kids on the Slope, Tsuritama, Bunny Drop, etc.

Only Monokoke that are in "older gang"
People sure not associate show like Honey&Clover, Hataraki Man and Moyashimon with its production value.
Yet those show that's what fan remember for golden time of noitaminA.

wonzo is like Pizzaroll Jr. sometimes.

Anyway, like I was saying, if it ain't working it ain't working, but I wanted to point out that it does work for other people and why that would be the case.
 
Golden Friendzone Time

I'm just going to skip the first 16 minutes of every episode on this show going forward and just watch the last 5-6 minutes when things actually happen. The relationship stuff in the beginning-middle of the episode were cringeworthy and that "accidental" trip-and-fall-on-top-of-girl was just so shitty and forced. Dumb stuff,

Golden Time 07

Koko's parents' reaction to
their dating
was perfect. Also 2D-kun is the best. That ending preview.

This was one of the better episodes so far, it was the only one so far that had comedy that actually made me chuckle repeatedly! I liked Koko more in this episode, too. Still pretty crazy, but less liable to snap and make a skinsuit out of Mitsuo. ALSO NO EXPOSITION GHOSTS. NOT SO HARD IS IT WHOEVER IS WRITING THIS.

"Welp I'm just going to put all my porn (and my single condom?) in this big obvious box in the middle of the room when my girlfriend comes over. I am Tada Banri, genius law student."

Are there any romance series that don't pull the "Woops I accidentally fell on top of you" thing?
