I'm not saying there wasn't some brutal "tough love" in there, but Yukino is on the right side of good and really makes up for it in the end. However, we are still missing a bunch of information on her family situation to fully explain her disposition.

Maybe I need to rewatch it again :/
I really didn't like the first season so....

Idk... I really wanna look into this more.

Well, that's like the anime version of an intervention since he won't stop doing what he does.

it never reminded me of an intervention. It reminded me more of when people are tired of someones shit and just end up not interacting with them and shutting them out rather than ending a friendship which in turn just hurts everyone involved.

Considering they are highschoolers, its understandable, I guess.

Today I learned Spielberg is doing ready player one.

Sword art online winning oscar sounds like worst timeline.

Everything I've heard about that book sounds like it's complete and utter trash, so the SAO comparison seems apt.

Here's hoping it wins everything so we have an excuse to burn it all and start over.

Hundred 2

The genius of Hundred is evident here as it takes this genre trope and rather attempt to invert or subvert it, instead it embraces it with Emile taking the role of the comedic partner and Hayato that of the straight man (doubling as an examination of his relationship with Emile.) It's as if it's part of some larger routine we only get a snippet of, something like "Who's on first?" except it won't be Hayato since he's already on second.


There's unappreciated layers to this show.

I think this was the last new show I watched this season, but it was the first to remind me that animators can actually care about general character movement when it comes to animation. Seems really unfocused though. Will probably watch more just because I'm the main character.

 

[peaceiscloser]

So wait, is Hundred literally not-Infinite Stratos? Because that's all I'm seeing.

(If there is a Charlotte equivalent I'm in)

 

[zulux21]

so this pied piper news (people doing the skip beat kickstarter)

rumor is that Kaiji is one of the shows she is looking into to do next, but she confirmed she is aiming for genre busting shows and maybe sports shows for future releases.

she has potentially 3-4 more shows lined up and ideally will be able to get semi regular releases going (perhaps a few a year)

one of those shows is not Hyouka, but during the reddit AMA she has confirmed that she is going to look into what would need to be done to get rights to release Hyouka.

edit: she actually just gave more details about what might be to come in the near future

There's 1 project for this summer with Directions (the producer for Time of EVE). It's related to dir. Yoshiura or Time of EVE.

And there's a feature animated film that I love, and I've confirmed that the rights are available. I will put together an offer on that title in the next few months.

And... there's another older animated feature that I already put an offer on, but no reply yet.

she is also confirming they are going to try to get international rights when they can and that the next project should be an international project.

 

[A Black Falcon]

So wait, is Hundred literally not-Infinite Stratos? Because that's all I'm seeing.

It... takes inspiration... from IS, yes. It's not just a clone in that both are part of a popular and cliche-riddled genre, but that has to be one of the major influences.

(If there is a Charlotte equivalent I'm in)

Emile. Probably not Charlotte-quality, but who is?

 

[Syrinx]

I refuse to believe there's anything, anime or otherwise, that can be described as "Infinite Stratos, but worse".

 

[Squalor]

Cerberus and Hundred episode twos.

"I'll take Color-by-Numbers Anime for 200, Alex."

 

[Narag]

I refuse to believe there's anything, anime or otherwise, that can be described as "Infinite Stratos, but worse".

IS anytime Houki is onscreen.

 

[A Black Falcon]

I refuse to believe there's anything, anime or otherwise, that can be described as "Infinite Stratos, but worse".

But Infinite Stratos is a 10/10 masterpiece, how could anything be that terrible and yet that entertaining? It is bad anime at its best.

IS anytime Houki is onscreen.

At least she's better than Russia Jr. (Or Britain of course... but Russia Jr. is the worst.)

The one thing I don't like about Hundred is that it's almost too good.

My Hero Academia Episode 2

MHA is one of those series that wears its heart on its sleeve, at least so far.
Every scene has some concrete emotion behind it, whether it's supposed to tug a bit on the heartstrings or tickle the funny bone.

Normally this would irk me to be honest, but it sort of works here.
Well it does, unless this shithead is in the scene.

Given she was my favourite (or a favourite) till Sarashiki came along....

it's fun watching people react to MHA and hating the Tsundare character
it's nice to see people at least hate a generic tsundare character even if they have to be a male instead of female to happen

it gives me hope that one day everyone will see eye to eye with me and hate generic female tsundare characters as well.

hmmm, i guess i would take 'go jump off a roof' less seriously from a traditional tsundere. well, maybe not in that bullying context.

I don't know if Baku qualifies as a tsundere type character. Usually when I think of a character like that, their behavior comes from a place of insecurity. Like Asuka from Evangelion.

Baku is just an asshole.

 

[zulux21]

Wait, where is the dere on Bakugo?

he already had the "you didn't help me baka, so I am not saying thanks." scene

I don't know if Baku qualifies as a tsundere type character. Usually when I think of a character like that, their behavior comes from a place of insecurity. Like Asuka from Evangelion.

it's from a place of insecurity. He is doing it because he is insecure about the idea of anyone else being as special as he is.

beyond that 99% of tsundere are just assholes, hitting men because they are men, or hitting someone over something that is their fault ect. If you properly develop a tsundere character (such as taiga from toradora) they can be decent, but most are just empty shells of hate that should be locked up for abuse that eventually have a second personality come out that is trying to be cute.

he is a lot more focused on the Tsun right now, but if he was female he would no doubt be a tsundere character.

 

[SalvaPot]

he already had the "you didn't help me baka, so I am not saying thanks." scene

Hehe, I can see what you mean. It does need blushing to make it obvious.

 

[Puruzi]

wtf bakugo isn't a tsundere

 

[zulux21]

Hehe, I can see what you mean. It does need blushing to make it obvious.

to be fair it would be really odd for a "manly" character to suddenly go full blown dere with the blush and all unless it was in a parody show.

this

looks far more natural.

nah, he's pretty insecure lol. classic smokescreen.

This show feels like a longer version of that 5 minute about where the rich girl wants to make friends.

 

[Russ T]

uh what bakugou's a tsundere now?

maybe i shoudl go back to stardew valley

things made sense there

 

[Shergal]

kiznaiver - don't understand why people are going all "Okada" at this when it's completely generic, derivative modern high school shonen. If you didn't know beforehand it would be impossible to tell that this was written by Okada, let alone conceived as an animation and not some standard Miracle Jump pap or whatever. Like there's barely an ounce of creativity to the setup and the beats.

Episode got carried by the production, so I hope Trigger can keep it up this time.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Bakugou isn't a tsundere. He just sucks.

Doesn't feel that uncommon to see a character template like that. It's the Meat mold.

they're not mutually exclusive

 

[Shergal]

Let's put it this way - from the first episode, Kiznaiver falls almost completely in line with products like Code:Breaker or Tokyo Ghoul. I didn't see anything there that I hadn't seen elsewhere in manga or anime similar to these.

Except that Kiznaiver is nothing like either one of those.... so... ?

I haven't seen Code:Breaker, but Tokyo Ghoul doesn't apply at all to the bolded words in question. U:

(I also haven't seen Kiznaiver yet.)

I will give Hundred some credit.

It actually does have the boring generic MC lose the fight against titan tits.

Granted, it's mostly because he's not quite awesome enough to handle how awesome he's gonna be, but soon he's gonna be really awesome guys.

So hang on, because we're gonna have an MC who's is just...

As awesome as more Kaiji would be, the series just isn't interesting anymore after what they've already adapted. Part 3 is Mahjong, part 4 doesn't even have Kaiji participating, and part 5 is poker.
