Futari wa Precure Splash Star 21

Well, Michiru and Kaoru ran out of other villains to do their dirty work for them, so they've got to get out there and do active villaining now. Or they could join the Cures and friends for a stargazing party. That also works.

Kaoru seems extra dismissive of the funtime antics today. Her response to pretty much everything is like, "what's the point?" or "I don't care." At a glance, you'd think she was actually getting into her villainous role and looking down on the meaningless interests of mere human scum. But I know the real reason. She's just bitter that Minori wasn't invited to the party. I can understand this. Really, what is the point in anything without Minori?

Michiru seems a little more into it, but that's pretty understandable too, because she's crazy for Saki, not Minori. Can I just say "best sisters ever x most tsundere villains ever" is, like, the official pairing of this show at this point? Also Michiru is the moon villain and this is a stargazing party. You go figure.

But eventually, the Almighty Precure Law of One Monster Per Episode gets the better of our two tsundere villains, and they kind of float up to stand in front of the moon, where Michiru summons an Uzaina from a piece of space rock. The Precure are all like "oh no you didn't" (at no-one in particular because they haven't spotted who summoned the Uzaina) and then proceed to deliver a beatdown on grounds that DUDE WE'RE NOT LETTING YOU NEAR OUR FRIENDS. THAT MEANS MICHIRU AND KAORU. MICHIRU AND KAORU ARE OUR FRIENDS. HAVE WE TUGGED AT THE VILLAINS' HEARTSTRINGS ENOUGH TODAY YET?

So Michiru and Kaoru are all like omg they're fighting for us *SWOON* before reverting to i-it's not like we don't want to kill you or anything! baka!

And then at the end of the episode Mai spots a few key details, puts two and two and two together, and is all like "ohmygod I think Michiru and Kaoru might be the bad guys o.o" Man, on their first proper mission too. These villain girls just can't catch a break, can they?

I wonder how you will handle this arc

Tsundere vilains are the best , you can already see how this arc will go.

• School Days END

When Envy breeds unkind division:
There comes the ruin, there begins confusion.
1 Henry VI 4.1.195-6​

This was literally the worst anime I have ever seen. But nice boat, nonetheless.

Spoiler

I don't know if its entirely intentional, but this show felt like a really messed up take on the harem genre as a whole -- or rather a realistic presentation of it. You just can't do the harem thing in real life without the most horrifying of repercussions. It all felt... hauntingly real. Like this all feels a lot like the horrible breakup stories and high school romance drama I had heard about happening but never got to see first hand.

It all... actually feels like it was written from some kind of personal experience. And to think there are actually WORSE things than the events in this show happening all the time.

Okay, I literally just screamed "Don't do it" to the screen when they kissed. This is sick and twisted.

Spoiler

Don't spoil it for me, since I've got 2 episodes to go, but this is feeling like a VN with EVERY bad selection chosen. And now finally its crumbling on the evil player.

Just have to point out that this comment was very perceptive, since from what I've heard, this is exactly what the School Days anime was.

Spoiler

The VN had good endings too, but nobody cared about those, so the anime took one of the infamous bad endings and ran with it.

You know, I've never actually seen School Days (except a YouTube clip of the ending once), but it feels kind of pointless to watch it at this point since I feel like I know the series intimately from all the impressions I've read of it here.

I still probably should watch it at some point though.

From what I've seen, I get the impression that the Sailor Moon marketing machine was even an order of magnitude more massive than Precure's with a tenth of the grotesque product placement.

It was also a massively popular manga at the time too, but yeah the money machine surrounding it was absolutely huge.

Enough to consolidate BANDAI's big ascension, and make Ms. Takeuchi the envy of the profession:

The most highly anticipated of the new programs is "Sailor Moon," a cartoon series about a long-legged, clumsy, blond junior high school girl who transforms into a heroine with super powers. A big hit in Japan for two years, the Sailor Moon program has also done well in France, Spain and Hong Kong.

(...)

Thanks to Sailor Moon, Nakayoshi's circulation began soaring, so Toei Animation decided to make it into a television cartoon program. The comic and the television show are big hits among young girls (and also, it is said, among computer nerds and some other men).

Bandai, which expects to sell about $220 million worth of Sailor Moon toys, clothing and other goods in the fiscal year that ends this month, pays a 3 percent royalty that is split among Toei Animation, the broadcasting station, Nakayoshi and Ms. Takeuchi. As a result of her success, Ms. Takeuchi, now 27, tools around Tokyo in a Porsche and is about to buy a Ferrari.

http://www.nytimes.com/1995/03/12/business/morphing-into-the-toy-world-s-top-ranks.html

And if I remember correctly it surpassed those expectations (up to $250 million on 1995), with a steady revenue income fluctuating between similar or even greater figures annually for the rest of the decade.

Why did it end after only five seasons, then? Did Takeuchi have some kind of say in this?

I've always seen mentioned that Ms. Takeuchi relationship with Toei Animation's main staff went awry because of the meddling in the creative process she apparently suffered from the studio (same reason Kunihiko Ikuhara parted ways with her from the production of the series, but this time it was Ms. Takeuchi who directly 'took the ball home').

While Japan is, indeed, very conservative that particular convention came about as a result of laws laid down by Americans to censor pornographic works.

I think that it is rather unjust and simple to shift all the blame, looking at broader examples of why it wasn't that clear cut of a situation at first. As I've seen explained, the very same resultant successor organization of it all as is the EIRIN (http://www.eirin.jp/english/) still argues a heavy censorship was in place even before, and the 'Hays Code' counterpart imposed by the American administration (that it seems just wanted policies in line with what they had at home... no more, no less) was only part of a prevalent attitude for a law abiding portrayal that was present on various public estates since the mid-19th century, up until the draconian 1939 'Film Law' supported by the very same and supposedly neglected filmmakers that continued to have a say in the film industry during the occupation period.

Spoiler

I haven't read Mr. Smith Goes to Tokyo but I've been told it is a good look into that power they kept exerting, I'm not sure how far removed from the actual reality that work really is, though.

Now, we could argue that kind of reactive society could have been also influenced by an already very straining administrative period, but I think that is one of the things that could have escaped its actual and devised control and priorly could have had permeated the very same consciousness of the public from an earlier time and onwards.

Ah, I've seen your clarification further along... I apologize Jexhius, I should really read it all before posting!

K-ON! - 1

Well, I went into this looking for fun, and I got fun! Well sort of. This is only the beginning after all. Characters are pretty likeable so far. Especially Homura Akemi Mio Akiyama.

And that's pretty much it! I enjoyed the little humour bits they threw in there, so that's a bonus. What I didn't like was that one scene where Mio and Ritsu were waiting and nothing was happening. I felt like they could have done a SpongeBob-esque time card thing, so that was a missed humour opportunity.

But it's not bad so far. Let's see how the rest of this goes.

Lots of fun ahead of you. Its really well made above everything everything else.
Ritsu is the best and drum n bass is amazing.

K, thanks. I've been putting that show on hold for way too long, guess tomorrow's a better time then ever to start on it.

Any time is a great time to start!

Speaking of which, Yayoi, Erika, and Regina all get homes in my town. yaaaay

Shit's not Art Online 22

Why don't they just fly directly to the tree from the highest permissible point, climb above the barrier and then just keep flying?

Because fuck this show and four more episodes, that's why. More shitty CG monsters to show off how Kirito is forbidden from losing is definitely what this show needed. Oh wow, he did lose. I'd care except Kirito doesn't learn and the writers don't give a fuck about cause and effect so why should I care?

Kirito makes it most of the way up and what does this bitch do? Drags him back out.

Fuck this show. Especially the last two minutes of this episode. Oh my gosh just fuck this awful, awful show. It's the most amazingly cringe worthy thing I've ever seen. I am sorry, Gundam SEED Destiny, I am sorry, Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory, I am sorry Gundam AGE and yes, I am sorry Gundam 00 for ever daring to think your romances were bad.

I did not know.

It's just so, fucking, bad.

Incest Is What the Cool Kids Do 23

"Hey in spite of our biological relationship and having been raised as siblings, I am in love with you."
"Yeah whatever. Let's play some more fucking video games."

Look Recon, she's not into you because you're not biologically related to her. You cannot get with the brotherfucking Bitch King of Angmar. Look at them flying in circles in the sky with each other like this is Final Fantasy or something. Baby Terra gonna be inbred instead of hybrid this time around.

Really? That you even consider her as something other than your little sister is just disgusting. This is like if in ZZ Gundam Judau had suddenly said "You know, maybe I should fuck Puru. I mean, we're not ACTUALLY brother and sister, after all."

Where the fuck is Klein? Where is Egil? Where is Lizbest? Why am I watching the worst characters? Hell even the good character in this group got sidelined for Incestmouto.



The one thing I enjoy more about SAO's second half is that the villain actually has a motive instead of "idk lol castle in the sky was a good movie, bra"

I tried once; I made it all of about a minute into the first episode when it turned into a first person view of awful cg tanks and I started to feel sick.

This is the place where I tell you to get back in there and watch till at least episode 2 because episode 1 is not that good for that show and the scene in question has been improved for the BDs.

I think Eva is in fact great, but the meta ends up far outstripping the basic quality of the show. Also, the fanbase over analyzing the plot and acting like it's way more amazing and has far more depth than it does is annoying and plays right into Anno's point. That's not saying a straight, non-meta reading of Eva doesn't have thematic depth. It certainly does. It just doesn't have the depth most super fans who take it straight like to claim it does.

But that isn't a fault of the show, so why take it into account when talking about its merits?

Mechs are machines, not organisms.

EVAs may be biological and mechanical hybrids, and (leaving aside the whole matter of the 'S² Engine') was speculated that could be powered by electro-mechanical pieces of armor that could regulate and even generate the whole body movements under some conditions while they are unconscious/semi-conscious, and some moments could even hint at that (EVA-01 totally freezing in position when running out of power, heart-beatings that signal awakenings), but after all...

For the purposes of the role they play in the narrative, the EVAs are mecha.

Evangelion is Ultraman.

... I find these as the essential answer to the question. They are after all just a vehicle for expressing fascinations of the author in very different purposes.

The last was a one off. If Gundam Age was that especially racist Gundam, everyone was making fun of it. SAO is the only bad show that gets defended.

The Devil is a Part Timer 12: I enjoyed it and it'll be interesting to see what's left for 13. They still haven't really addressed whether the Ente Isla group will live out the rest of their (un)natural lives on Earth, or return and reform the church.

Mushibugyo has proven to be more interesting than I initially thought. Much of it owes to the fights being fairly self-contained and Jinbei's relentless ability to misread people and situations.
