DN Angel ep.15
OK, so I guess they are starting to hint at Miss American Valley Girl isn't who she seams and is just trying to get close to Dark/Miwa with bad intentions, obviously. Who does she work for? Out side of that obvious tidbit, this was a pretty fun episode with all the characters and their interactions.
DN Angel ep.16
Hopefully, we can begin to focus in on who Miwa should really be giving his time to and that would be "big sister" Harada. Hopefully, these two sort everything out soon.
I just love sunset images

dropped her like a sack of rocks

Half an hour well invested! It gave me a good laugh.
Clockwork Planet 06
Welp, I guess the price for those 3 or 4 decent looking shots last week was garbage art and animation again for this episode. I can't get over how horrible the anime character design is and how cheap the animation looks.
This looks so fucking bad
Then again, I only spent 5 minutes or so on this episode, so maybe I missed something! But I didn't like most of the events of this episode in the manga already, so I really can't be bothered watching a worse version that takes more time.
Next episode should have some cool action in theory, but then again there's no way it's going to look good.

Clockwork Planet ep.6
This show is pretty messed up sometimes... like, WTF. Poor Marie.....
Clockwork Planet ep.6
Well, he's not completely wrong you annoying twit.... All out war now, huh?
Been really busy with moving, so I haven't had much time to watch anime. I did have time to sample some scenes from my BD of Horus though, and it's not actually that bad. The main issue from what I saw is that the image looks a bit soft at times. Not nearly as bad as an upscale, as I had seen some people say, though it doesn't look amazing. Still, this is likely the best the film will ever look given the materials that were available for it, so if you're a Takahata fan you should definitely consider picking it up.

Natsume 1-2
Ok these 2 first episodes were excellent. Natsume is such a good character. I love his design and I love his personality. Sensei and him contrast just enough to be an excellent combo. The colors are beautiful and really fit well with the themes of the show. Episode 2 in particular got me all teary-eyed at the end. That Yokai living only because of 1 old-lady still worshipping him and with an ending like that was 10/10.

I don't even know what to say about this $hit anymore..... There was actually even more to that conversation as well...
That conversation is the lowest of low-brow 'humour' and is absolutely terrible on every level.
BLAME! 30 second trailer.
Look at all that CG, whew. Can't look any worse than Berserk at least, right?

I keep checking AV Watch and still no listing of a domestic digital disc release for In This Corner of the World. At some other regions the licensees are hinting at their own release dates, so I wonder if GENCO, inc., would prioritise for the moment the promotion at digital distribution platforms like U-NEXT where it is available already... and where they also give you a digital copy of the movie's theatrical pamphlet too! So jealous.
Are we still basing this on who he followed on Twitter? Or is there actually some solid evidence at last?

I mean even if it's CG I think it looks pretty good! I am so hyped for this. Really cool netflix has a dub day 1.
It's not the french pronounciation, the title has always been a mistranslation.
It's supposed to be BLAM! as in 'the SFX a gun shot makes'.
That said, I'll still keep calling it Blame because Blam sounds silly

Yeah I'm dying to see this too. I never really took to the manga, it was okay, but I'm excited to see what they're going to do with this and I'm really impressed by the trailers.

I did not know this. That's absolutely hilarious. Although the real title actually makes way more sense based on what I read in the manga.
I think I've read the manga 3 times. I hope the new volumes will get a translation into my language. Totally hyped for the movie.

Now that you say it, that also make lots of sense. And knowing Japan, it's probably the reason lol.It's not the french pronounciation, the title has always been a mistranslation.

I just finished the master volume 3 and man if they can recapture the sense of size of some of these moments.. holy shit. I'm curious about how many logs they will cover and where they will end it.

Kino's Journey ep.11
While I generally strongly dislike "episodic" shows, this one always manages to throw something interesting out there.
Your Wam sucks #6
This was... a bit anticlimactic to be honest.
The scene between Shindo's and his mum was nice, too bad it kinda looked super distracting:
Mum is clearly 2D while Shindo is a poor, detailed 3D model without any muscle definition, come on now. He also looks stiff as hell despite the fact he supposed to be relaxing.

This got creepy fast, but I'm willing to bet is a red herring. Not that aliens messing with humanity will ever end up being a good thing in these stories.

Well, in my experience is gets a little more 'in your face' with the 'these two siblings totally want each other and bad' but the side characters keep it pretty funny otherwise. It depends on your tolerance levels of that incest stuff.

What went wrong with V'ger? Guy left earth in 1977, the last year when anime was great.
Is it really incest if they're not related?

Well, I mean, that's always the defense for these kinds of plot lines. It's not technically incest, but I don't think that stops the scenario from feeling uncomfortable for a lot of people. Same kinda thing with Usagi Drop.

Are they? They're both situations where two people, unrelated by blood, who have a familial relationship end up breaking that relationship in favor of entering a romantic one. Sure these people aren't father and daughter, but they are brother and sister and the show increasingly hints at them both having feelings that sit outside of being merely brother and sister.

Gafman 2: The Great Escape
Eeeeh they continue to say that they're not related in the series and keep reminding everyone that they're not related so I don't see a slippery slope here.
It's not like
Tsugumomo where the MC's sister is a brocon.

Even if they're not related by blood, the appeal of these sorts of relationships is supposed to be that it feels like incest even if it's made technically "OK" by not literally being incest.
Can someone explain the appeal of the monogatari series? Asking a serious question here. What makes it so popular and why is it critically panned? Cuz I saw it and it made me just hate anime and SHAFT.
