I feel like I'm missing out on some crazy good fighting scenes not watching this. But then I see the character designs and feel like if I did watch it my blood sugar would rise to a point that I'd get diabetes. Too much moe. Too much cute.Etotama - 06
Probably my favorite episode so far. Great fight, fun moments and progression. Based Shima-tan

Different goals of production. The Hyouka anime series was written for Yonezawa's characters to develop over the course of a year through focus on the characters themselves. It also had 23 episodes to gradually spread the focus towards through the original novels. Tamako Market was an anime-original series that had 12 episodes and chose to focus on the surrounding individuals in the market bit-by-bit instead of solely on Tamako herself (who got the movie instead). It leaves the viewer a bit confused as the person everything revolves around isn't really expanded upon or detailed in the series, so she seems to be more of a minor character than in a show like Hyouka. Yamada had an interesting idea, but the execution of it wasn't as good as she may have intended.
(It took me another try and watching of the series to really appreciate it more. Dera never bothered me though.)

Cajun and I would like a word with you ..
In short : Watch it , it's FUN !
Fun da best , it's also an anime that doesn't take itself seriously !
Punchline 06
I know that Marina Inoue has a track record with androgynous characters - Natsuru comes to mind, as does her turn in Gyrozetter where she played both Kakeru and his mother. Finding out that
makes me wonder what greater effect this will have on the plot. Speaking of the plot, now that we're invested (well, I'm invested) enough in the characters, that particular train can get running. This does feel very VN-like, and in all my time of playing VNs, if there's even a slight bit of fantasy or sci-fi leaning, how does one make the medium fit the story, a medium where making choices and doing time loops are the core gameplay mechanic?
And it is exciting as hell.

Yuuta is actually Yuu, really a girl, though everyone identifies him with male pronouns
Time loops. Miyazawa Kenji is another Yuuta, but the main goal at this point isn't to say "I got it right", it's to ask "Why?" The time warp is starting again, and I am looking forward to it. Still wish Rabura kept her original character design, but otherwise, this has been one of the shows I've looked forward to most this season. A sense of absurdity and conspiracy, eros and pathos, wordplay and time travel. This feels like something only Japan's culture could produce, a blend of its pop culture ephemera of robots and superheroes, mystics and recluses.
And it is exciting as hell.
Oh my God oh my God holy shit
How did I not know this was a thing? I hope the animation can capture how wonderful Inio's designs are

I am so confused right now.. I mean, I understand what Yura did, but why? It makes no sense.... Why would she do that? Uggh, this is drama.. that is just ignorance stubborness... uughh, I hate girls like that.

Not the reaction I was hoping for, but I'll check back in when you finish the series.

Oh yeah I do realize that comparing both is like comparing pears to apples, but putting genres and all that aside, I just didn't enjoy Tamako as much as I thought I would. The show looked great, the story was alright... Maybe it was the bird lmfao. For some reason he pissed me off and he stole a lot of time from each episode. I liked the movie a lot because we got to see the characters interact without that silly bird I think.
Maybe I'll give it a shot, but no offence to the genre or anything, it's just not for me. I can have SOME moe in there, but when the show is dripping in it, I just can't do it lol.

Stella is really bad bail while you still can.

There was a line from You're Lie in April about "Finding oneself during a serious competition" that rings true here but in a grander way.... I'll try to do a write up shortly, I'm almost done...
EDIT, is Episode 13 an add-on? It's not in-line with the rest of the story, right?

Intresting to see how the show changed gears ..
i must admit that i'm actually surprised because some of those changes were unexpected.
That ending , was unexpected... is the poor green haired guy/girl cursed to lose every fight animated in this show, lol ?

I never could escape the reality of what happened here.
My mind was blown when I realised the title pun. This is what Kojima meant.
That's how it goes with a lot of anime. There's a regular broadcast run that completes the story, and a bonus episode (usually DVD-only) that has the cast doing something a little more light-hearted, a little goofier than the previous content. Often a beach/fanservicey episode, but not always.
It just so happened that due to broadcast scheduling, Stella's aired on TV.
anime is a hell of a drug.
Half of a good show is still pretty good.

Stella Women's Academy High School Division Class C3 ep. 9-END (ep.12):
Hmm, I almost have to let this one set in for awhile, since there was soo much going on at teh end. It is a Coming of Age story in regards to mental maturity more than anything else. It did take awhile to get to that main point but it had a good message about believing in yourself first and letting things happen around you organically, rather that forcing your believes what you want to be onto others. The end was touching in a good way and made me smile with happiness.... I might type more later, but time to clear outta the office, lol.

Maybe the Saki fanbase isn't as big as we thought it was. lol
And I have no doubt that Biyori will be done before the main series is even close. Time to think up new spinoffs... maybe the guy can finally have his own series.
I forgot the show started with their home movie. What an amazing way to start the series, since it gives you all the context without actually being exposition.
it wasnt that it was anime but the language used. I can see why it got them in trouble. however its an internet meme and probably a lot of people outside of the loop dont know its just a joke picture.

Yeah the animation is pretty exciting. Its too frenetic for some but its my kind of humor and cuteness.

A lot of truth here. The show is a lot of fun, and ep. 5 proved its stance that it's just fun. Obviously, there is an adventure/story behind it and we got some progress there today, but this series shouldn't be missed.
I got to admit it didn't see that particular truth bomb coming, and it is honestly the most interesting development Punchline has laid out thus far.
I saw the time loop coming early when they revealed Yuta could hop back in time. The Jin-Roh looking mother fucker just bored me since he was more or less a plot device to finally get some much needed back story. This whole deal with Yuta is confounding my head since I am not exactly sure if we are dealing with either a very intriguing and complicated transgendered situation or we have protagnist that somehow found a way to be a more perverted lesbian than Eruna, which is a feat in and of itself.

It's got feels for sure, but also a great message behind it as well. Again, prepare yourself, it hits those feels hard.... but it is all worth it. I got kinda chocked up several times watching the series.. The ending could have added a little more content to it, but it pulls at your heartstrings all the same; it was excellant and surprising, which gets you again just thinking about it. Also, wear headphones when you watch it if you can; Great music..

I kinda jumped on this anime while browsing new additions on Crunchyroll, and it was intriguing with the first episode. Episodes 2-4 were just kinda here and there, not much going one which almost made me want to drop it...but with the ending of episode 5 and all of episode 6? Oh yeah they got my full attention.

I think I am a brick when it comes to getting emotional. I just cant for some reason.
Still probably would enjoy it though.

OreGairu/SNAFU - Episodes 3-5, Isshiki Iroha for President (Notice Me Senpai) Arc
Everyone's mad at each other for reasons that continue to make no sense. I guess they're mad because he hurts himself (he didn't?) Or is it because he's just fake-solved Hina's problems by putting shit off? Oh wait, Yui's reason for being mad at Hachiman is obvious, given she's coming over to hug him and massage his hair. With previous interests like Orimoto, I suppose I don't blame him for being oblivious, but teenage girls don't come over in private to run their hands through your hair for no reason, Hachiman.
Anyways, Hachiman has a bubbly new kohai and spends about eight seconds convincing her to be president, which works for no real reason other than Isshiki is gullible as fuck. Isshiki must not watch any anime; anime student council is the equivalent of being the President of the United States in terms of how much time it takes. In any case, Hachiman preserves his friendship-group of not-friends and earns lots of Komachi points.
....and then the next episode of the new arc, Yukino still mad. For reasons. Hug it out, people.

Thanks! I've been kinda backlogged with anime recently, so it was nice to get back and watch an episode!
Thanks! I really like writing about this show. I'll have to go back and get the links for my other two reviews too.
It really is incredible that they are paying that much attention to all of that. Blows me away.
For this stuff you can definitely trust my observations! I've been in music for over 20 years and have a bachelor's and master's degree in composition.

I really enjoy this weekly dose of shittyness but I'm already reciting a death haiku for those who want to bingewatch it after it aired though. This kind of show only works when you watch it in small bursts.
Darkninja killing that other guy was hype. SAYONARA!!
