Today is Kiznaiver day!
Looking very much forward to see how things will continue.

I wonder if Sonozaki is the girl from the flashback, seeing how she has that black pattern on her neck and it just so happens that the same place on the neck of flashback-girl was covered by that light in the flashback.

I too wanna watch more, why do they need these powers?! Also I wanna hear the OP again. It's so gooooood.

Yep, that's probably the biggest question so far. And there are soooo many possibilities.

I liked the visuals of the OP, but I'm not really a fan of the song. Though it will probably grow on me with time, like it always happens.

True, I knew we had someone on here with a Boondocks avy. If even you say this, guess I'll just do myself a favour and avoid it all together. But I'm curious, what makes it so bad?
I thought the plot lines weren't good and with such a decent size cast I don't remember them being used much at all and the ones that were constantly focused on felt like dumb down versions of themselves.There are only two episodes I remember feeling were straight after I finished them, the others just left a constant wave of disappointment week after week.

It's such a shame the show ended with a season like that, the promo was dope though

Yup I also can't wait to see their personalities just totally clashing with each others'.

Although these days I pretty much only listen to rap, I used to love Trance, so I'm a sucker for the song aha.

Damn, alright, I'll just totally avoid it then. If the show remains as good or better over 3 seasons as these first 6 episodes we watched, I'm in.

Entertaining episode; Ako is going to be a handful for them, wonder how she got like that though.

I liked this! It's far from the disaster that everyone else made it sound like. The ending itself was a little bit too contrived, but overall I thought it handled the character themes and what it wanted to say well enough. Look forward to my full review refuting the negativity around the movie.... some day... after I write that Akito 5 review which I've been putting off! Some day!

Lovepon is the best lol

I lost my shit when she found Mitsumune and Maimai at night and asked them if they were going to execute Sasaki, lol.

Lmao this is such a mess. Everybody either screaming or saying some dumb shit.

And some of these voices sound off.

Here's to the next episode!

It definitely was a fun movie! Far from being bad, I thought. Even so, I didn't like it as much as the other Hosoda films I've seen. I definitely agree with the consensus that the script was a bit weak.

The script has several weaknesses, and visually it is by far the ugliest Hosoda film every because of the poor use of digital effects in comparison with his other works. Even so, I think it worked well enough to not feel like a stain on his career or anything. It wanted to say something and said it well, but then it just continued to ramble after that. Lol.
 
Ace Attorney 3

How can Naruhodo kun not only have the cell phone but the wiretrap as evidence? That seems like it shouldnt be allowed.

I hope every case isnt a talking item case, having two back to back seems like they lost creativity.

Get some class action lawsuits please.

Never think about how the cases are presented because they do not even remotely resemble reality, any reality.

Gave it three episodes.

I'll go back to it if it turns out to be fun later but at the moment it's a snooze fest.

ED song has finally grown on me. Better than episode 1 but my characters had no lines.

Lost Village - 3
The characters are all unlikable, confrontational assholes. My god. Literally the entire episode was spent on characters yelling at each other.

Why the fuck is the bus driver (Who previously tried to murder them) taking on the role of the "responsible adult"?!

That whole fight over the nicknames was idiotic. "We can't run background checks on everyone?" Wdf of course you can.

This show is stupid, and not in a fun way. Dropped.

Mayoiga ep.3

Ok, wtf was any of this in the episode? What kind of writing is this? What even happened at the end, I couldn't see what
Maim was yelling at him about after Loveporn tried drowning him.
This is just messed up in an awful way... I don't know if I should be laughing histarically or crying...

I'm still having a very good time with this show.

I'm not going to act like everybody should be liking it, but to the people who say, "This is dumb and not funny," or "It's boring because not enough people are dying yet," what were you expecting? You can't just immediately go full speed ahead with this stuff. It takes buildup so everyone can get all paranoid and their relationships start fraying before shit really hits the fan. The end of the episode sets up a bunch more reasons for people to be suspicious of each other, which has me all excited.

And everyone in this show is gloriously stupid. In this episode alone we had characters:

- Act completely oblivious to massive red flags about how suspicious this situation is
- Attack someone for implying they cared about other people
- Make incredibly intense sexual innuendo about cooking
- Tie someone up and throw them into a convenient dungeon
- Lose their shit about bears
- Lose their shit about people not respecting their dumb chuuni name enough
- Lose their shit about how unwilling everyone is to murder everyone else

I mean, the main character gets attacked by someone attempting to kill him, and his main thought during this situation is, "Oh shit, I saw her bra, why does this make me feel funny?" It's exactly what I want.

Hyouketsu-kun and execution-girl are the best.

Lovepon is fine since she's so over the top to the point of being comical. Hyouketsu-kun is fucking annoying though. Hope Jack goes full "Jack the Ripper" mode on him.

I think MC has some sort of creepy thing going on with females in the past leading him to who he is now. He seems more afraid of seeing her bra than embarrassed. Also he got pissed when people were getting on Jack for committing a crime. I might be reading way too much into the show, but I'm thinking that MC committed some sort of crime in the past involving a girl he liked or something.

On the other hand Phoenix introducing unsubstantiated evidence in that manner should be a HUGE no-no on so many levels.
The evidence laws of the game's universe is outlined in case 1-5. It's fiction though, so lack of realism is not something that breaks my immersion.

Mayoiga is very fun so far and the interactions on it are either dumb or exaggerated. The last scene was gold, to the very end. People who don't like it are obviously impatient and they need a speedy execution, right here, right now.

All of this is why I don't know if I should be laughing histarically or crying sadistically at this show. It's so scattered and all over the place and I want to break a majority of the characters in half myself, lol.


It's very entertaining though because who the hell knows what is coming next...

Ojisan to Marshmallow 8-12

Playful and sweet little rom com, worth watching if you're a fan of the genre. Nothing new, just plays on the "marshmallow" gag through out.

DagashiKashi 9-12

It was worth it for Saya but it also had some hit and miss humor and good presentation at times.

Alright Mayoiga sounds like something I'd like. Shall pick it.

How can you not like an annoying chuuni dude with a stupid name and an eyepatch? He needs to stay around and continue to fuck things up for dumb reasons.

I continue to struggle to understand why this was ever adapted.

Advertisement for AA6. It's working.

Mostly because his design is crap for a chunni character and he's done nothing so far but bitch about his name being familiar with Jack (which I guess it is in Japanese, I can't tell in English).

The Jack comparison is about the Judgeness part of his name, not about the Hyouketsu one.
Well, they both start with 'Cha', lol.

Nah, the first episode is still the funniest, it has nothing to do with a need for immediacy. The end of the episode was pretty good though.

Kabaneri ep.2
I'll say it again, I'm not a big fan of the genre, but that was awesome! Good action with Memei going crazy on the zombies and that ending was a really cool way to reveal the Kabaneri
breed of human/zombie
still great production values to with the OP, ED, animation and music; very nice...
