I didn't have ice cream, but I did have Loaded Chips and Queso with some Iced Tea.

I actually liked Monica Rial's voice for Miach. It's a vastly different role than her usual loud snarkiness like Renge Houshakuji or Stocking. I'm glad she didn't change her tone because this voice range on this super messed up character was quite chilling.

I almost lost it with her dialogue in the pool though, whew...

Friend, have you watched Belladonna of Sadness or Midori? Pro-tip, if you haven't watched Midori, don't watch Midori.

I have watched Belladonna, actually! Definitely depressing, though I love how surreal it gets. Really hoping that I'm able to see the 4K restoration, since it's playing at a theater near me next week. If not, the Blu-Ray is out on July 12th!

It's that you can always justify bad writing by

your female characters.

While I enjoyed Harmony quite a bit and found it well written overall, this point did stand out as unnecessary to me. While it at least isn't shown on screen and is only mentioned in dialogue, it did feel cheap in a way.

No details yet, but it looks like there's a new Digimon multimedia project titled Digimon Universe that will include a TV anime.

Really excited about this. It's been too long since there was a new Digimon anime. Here's hoping there will be some good staff working on it and that it will manage to reach the level of some of the greats in the franchise.

for them to watch it?
also are you gonna require that they watch all of endless 8 or can they just watch episodes 1, (maybe 2) 7 and 8 ?

it's only been like two years since they last announced a new digimon tv anime.

granted it then became an OVA series...

Yeah, but that was always just an elaborate troll.

This is a brand new TV series, and it's targeted at kids, too. Big difference there.

That was probably one of the few parts where I thought it didn't belong because you already knew beforehand that she was a refugee, so it can be inferred that terrible things happened when she was captured.

I almost thought there was going to be some serious yuri going on with the stuff she said while in the school pool though, lol

 

[duckroll]

Here's a counterpoint. Was what she described intended to be shock value for the audience/Tuan (unlikely given that we already suspected as much) or was it simply a form of catharsis for her, coming to terms with the nature of her consciousness, before accepting a return to a state without an individual self?

Yes, for them to watch it and preferably all of Endless 8 but it's their choice in that regard.

I think in her own way, since Miach knew she was messed up that it was catharsis because it's who she was this whole time she was aware of herself.

Actually, now that I think about it, why did she want to return to that state of mind again?

lol, of course not!

Pretty sad I won't be here for the kids in my art club graduating (from middle school, they only became third years in April). The graduation in my first year was heartbreaking, this year's less so - didn't really know that cohort as well.

What version are you watching?

 

[convo]

What version are you watching?

If it's the most recent anime series then it's pretty good. My first try at Golgo and it was pretty funny how ridiculous those clients demands are.
This dude is still drawing to this day all the way from the goddamn 60s
You'd think he'd run out of ideas by now.

Cornbread, not like we are ever gonna get this or anything, but apparently there is a Plastic Memories game in the works by 5pb.

Oh damn. I'll add that to the list of games that exist, but cannot play..

The Micharu spin-off manga should be running soon as well.

He's out already though; probation.

The TV series is OK. It's the Dezaki movies that are really the must watches though.

The TV show which I am watching. Will look into his movie when I am dobe watch the show. So fun to watch.

I think it's just a nice guy spy.

Yep.

3.33 was okay.

Just okay.

I actually like 3.33, because it was its own thing rather old Eva rehashed with a glasses character to sell more merchandises.

Then again, I was never much into Eva, or Rebuild in the first place. I watched them, but didn't think too much about it.

After all, those of us with superior tastes prefer Utena.

Seikon no Qwaser ep. 4

It's been a couple weeks since I last watched an episode of this and my verdict stays the same; this show is terrible... The newest character to the cast is an evil/good goth loli that likes to call her own girl a b!tch and made her into her own personal dog.... like, WTF? I'll watch 1 episode every few weeks, but this is trash to the max...

Qwaser is well done smutty trash thank you very much. Hoods Entertainment did good work for the ecchi genre on this.

This is pretty much how I felt. Eva is a nice mecha series with some movies I enjoy and that's about it. 3.33 was entertaining for me and that's all I could ask for.

Never seen Utena. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The ending of the black rose Utena arc is pretty stronk. You should watch a bit more S3 build right up if you get started.

 

[Aki-at]

so what should would be as funny as prison school? I really enjoyed that show much more than I expected that I would

I found the first season of Yondemasuyo, Azazel-san pretty hilarious. It's pretty short though (10 mins episodes of 12) and didn't find the following season anywhere near as funny.

Funfact, both Prison School and Azazel-san share the same director.

 

[Cornbread78]

I'm losing my mind here, what anime is this from? Is it from "Is This a Zombie?"

K-on: The Movie -Rewatch-

I must've been asleep or something when I watched this the first time because I barely remembered any of it. I think I misled myself into thinking the movie was actually about the London Trip when in reality the movie is, very very obviously, a continuation (or a background coda) to the themes explored in the S2 finale.

I'll go through it in more detail on a later rewatch probably, but for now I'll just say I thoroughly enjoyed it - probably moreso than the first time I watched it - and that it's really refreshing that they hired so many properly-accented speakers for the England segments even if all delivery was kinda all over the shop. (Funnily enough the only english people who have actually relevant dialogue also have mediocre delivery. One in particular sounds like an english textbook CD)

It's from season 2.

I remember watching the K-on movie dubbed and it runs into the same problem as some other dubs when they go to London of "We're both speaking English, but for some reason can't understand each other"-its pretty awkward.

Yes and she was the best character in the entire show.

That's actually a really interesting way of looking at it; I hadn't thought of that before at all. It makes sense for her to come to terms with her life and trauma, since the nature of her plan would

Spoiler

cause anyone with WatchMe (I think the film said 80% of the world's population) to lose their selfhood, which would include Miach herself.

I think in her own way, since Miach knew she was messed up that it was catharsis because it's who she was this whole time she was aware of herself.

Actually, now that I think about it, why did she want to return to that state of mind again?

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure it was because she hated the society she was placed in, and it seemed fake compared to the life she was living beforehand. She wanted to provoke the activation of Harmony to make everyone with WatchMe like she originally was as a way of destroying that society. The way I saw it, Miach herself would just be collateral damage in her own plan, as Harmony effects anyone implanted with the WatchMe system.
