Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 6
Okay...
is cool now. Saved Lelouch's ass when he needed it. This particular season is doing super well with its cliffhangers because it makes me want to see the next episode at the end of each one. So good. And that quick flash of
made me :,(
Okay...

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable - 8
Well, I'm curious as to how this is all gonna get wrapped up. Is Koichi gonna SFX the yandere out of her?
With love in every stitch.

Oh, this stuff is soooooo good. The horribly twisted Slice of Life that is Diamond is Unbreakable rears its head. And it's wonderful thus far. I can't wait for the next episode because something awesome is gonna happen with the ending and if it's what I hope it is executed at, it'll be the sickest stuff yet.

Damn, that was good. Like, really good. It was almost worth watching Destiny just for this.

Based Blizzard saving me from bad decisions.
A lot of the music is basically a re-recording and reworking of the old Yamato tracks.
But he did write new music as well.
---------------------------------------
Bonus: Kentaro Haneda - NHK Symphony Orchestra - Grand Symphony Yamato
Composer Kentaro Haneda did a symphony in 1984 based on the melodies of Yamato with the man himself at the piano. Very well worth a listen.
It's also done in four movements:
First Movement: Birth
Second Movement: Battle (Scherzo)
Third Movement: Prayer (Adagio)
Fourth Movement: Hope for Tomorrow (Double Concerto)
Liner notes here under Grand Symphony Yamato and further notes in the re-release
Unofficial mashup? That's just a high quality rip from the show.
I sincerely regret not watching part 3 Jojo in preparation of part 4. I know it's not entirely necessary but I'd watch it serially.

No escape!
Surprises me a bit that they haven't finished the arc this episode... Hmm... Fearing the worst for act 3 pacing.
Talking about Re:Zero pacing:
I was curious what the adaption rate is, because this arc does feel really long (although I don't think it dragged so far) and I was wondering if this really is just a single book.
Turns out it isn't, we've just started volume 3 and the adaption is going at a steady 4 episodes/volume (probably a bit more considering how often they skip the OP, ED or both).

Talk about fucking social anxiety. How the hell does she dance and perform rituals in front of people when she has a mental breakdown just giving out samples in a backwater supermarket? All that Joan of Arc visual imagery made it quite hilarious though.

That actually sounds quite well paced to me.

I shot you a friend request. Please be my MAL friend, lol.
I usually only play a few hours a week, but I'll take my time to savor how damn beautiful the game is...
Star Ocean 5 (6/30) & Final Fantasy XV (9/30) will be huge time sinks once they drop..
Oh and Disgaea 5 is my go-to "break" game, but I'll have to give it and Valkyrie equal time..

Seems fine to me too, I can understand the frustration at being in the same loop and how that resets Subaru relationship growth week after week but I can't see how the show could have done otherwise. If you're going to show the corrosive effect of suddenly becoming a stranger to people you care deeply about over and over again you kind of have to go this way. Each of the loops has revealed something new about either the characters or the overall plot while also building up Subaru to smash him down again at the reset so it's not an Endless Eight 'which shirt will change this week' scenario. I think we're probably done with this loop next episode as we haven't had a two episode spanning loop since 1A/1B though.

Really? I think I was burnt out in the franchise that I was ready for the story to end four hours before it did. So samey.
At least mp is fun though such a grind to get characters I want (ended up buying husbando flynn)

That's how I played. Man I was so sad when it ended. The ending is so damn conclusive, it had me choking up remembering playing UC1 as a youngling still back in my home country.
I am the exact opposite of you in that I didn't even care to touch the MP. I loved the game, but coming from The Division one problem that UC has is in the controls. I think for as much shit as it gets, the controls are something that are a piece of art in that game. UC has some weird shit going on, like I kept pressing a button to go in cover and I'd jump, or shadow boxing instead of reloading my weapon lmfao.
So good. But who are we kidding, Kiznaiver is the best everything this season. With 5 episodes left and a trend of each episode getting better each week, this show has not only found a place in my heart and somewhere at the peak of my top 10 of the year, as well as for the next year's to come as an SoL that actually made me care about its character's lives.
Yup. Again reinforcing my post just above.

I don't think Kiznaiver would be very enjoyable from what I've seen 2 episodes in and knowing that Okada can't write characters that genuinely feel human. I doubt that core issue I have with her will go away even when instructed by a competent director. But, given that the reception has been really rather great I'll check out another episode or two. Am not watching much this season anyways and might as well drop AoTrain soon.
Really cool.

I can guarantee you that you are going to change your mind in just 1 episode. Episodes 3 and 4 are where this show began showing signs of it being brilliant. Since then it has only gotten better and better.

It's never a good idea to say a writer or director can't do this or that.
Akihiro Hino made Gundam AGE. A Gundam story where (from what I've been told) the main character was essentially Adolf Hitler.
On the other hand, he was also behind the original story for Danball Senki, and we all know how awesome that is!
Hiroyuki imaishi's track record may not also be the cleanest, but that still doesn't change the fact that he made Gurren Lagann, my favorite anime of all time.

Fuck Trigger's Youtube page for not making this available in the US, EVEN AFTER they said on their Twitter that it was.
That being said, I can't stop staring at Kiznaiver's OP. All the spinning, all the circles, and all the shifting patterns and mirror images of the lights enhance Lay Your Hands On Me.

Good stuff. I'm a sucker for this brand of trance.
Original twitter anime? lol. I guess that's one way to get me to follow their account, even if it is just Tanaka telling a remote to fall off a table.

Saved.
Unfortunately that's what began to bother me from episode 4, I felt it made for a less than compelling drama. I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes but because they were primarily composed of light humor which would've been fine for the characters of the show. The main narrative however is heading in an interesting direction.
The movie I just saw on the other hand...
Colorful
I went in blind on this, started off straight away triggering me with existential dread, I was almost ready to stop watching right away but I was nonetheless intrigued by the themes it dabbled or seemed to. What followed was an intense family drama and a story on recuperating from depression and mental wellness. This was probably one of the more realistic portrayal of a family, I really felt all members were on point interms of behaviour and relationship. I could relate to it a lot at least. The protagonist's journey through his transformation was understated and moving. As mentioned I was a bit apprehensive about the premise but it actually addressed that towards the end, genuinely surprising me with a great conclusion.
The message it tried to relay
was that humans aren't just monochromatic but they posess a myriad of colors within them - the colors represent a state of mind, sometimes they like something, sometimes they don't like the same thing but that's "normal" and not exactly a loss of identity. My one qualm with it is that the movie tried to address something but didn't go all the way, the message got through but it felt lacking, there was no understanding of why it is like that for people. I personally believe a dualistic belief in the right direction can be a ledge to hang on to but not as sturdy and reliable as a comprehensive understanding on human nature, the former is susceptible to break down under pressure but considering the nature and tone of the film, it is not exactly off the mark by saying that. Sometimes something that simple is enough.
Unfortunately I really didn't find it to be visually compelling at all. I can't think of a single moment where they stood out for me. I did notice the effort that went in towards the backgrounds but overall it felt a bit lack lustre especially considering the message it tried to relay and the protagonist's penchant for painting.

Just want to say that this episode was great. I like the conclusion to Maki arc, but boy, Lulu and her mother is so hysterical.

Kiznaiver has great characters.
Also, Colorful is a beautiful film, and my favorite Keiichi Hara film.
