Again, I wasn't really referring to things animation-wise.
I only quoted Hosanna to ask if he finished the first season, and let him know that he's gonna miss out on some plot-related things and end up confused.
Dude's gonna end up not knowing
who Shigaraki is or what the Noumus are.
Congratulations!
He can just wiki shit.
Thanks!
That's not far off from what we're doing, actually! We'll be going to a resort in just over a week. It's got a spa, and a huge outdoor pool! Really excited for it!

you're already beating every anime by getting married instead of ending the season with you holding hands as the sun sets.

I think he'd enjoy things much more if he at least read the early manga chapters instead.
I mean, if you just wiki stuff, that says a lot about how willing you are to get invested in something.
No matter how bad a first season is, I'll always trudge through that material before getting to the good stuff in season 2. By doing that, I end up enjoying the good stuff much more.

Oh, I agree, but that is an "industry/otaku" problem...
If the demand is there yadda yadda..
You're overvaluing plot for someone that is there for the visual elements.
CONGRATULATIONS

All the more reason he should go and read the early manga chapters that he missed!
I'm only really saying this because there was a post he made where he questioned something related to the plot, and since he didn't watch past episode 1 of the first season, he's probably going to be questioning a lot more if he plans to continue!
Her faces are too good.
Congrats !
Granblue Fantasy 10
Moderately not awful things truly happen to those who wait.
For 10 episodes.
Still a zzzzzzzz ep.
I had the same questions he had and I did watch S1.
it's a story for ten year old children that doubles back to explain everything repeatedly for general tv audiences....i think he'll be okay..........

The first episode of season 2 basically recapped all the important stuff from season 1, so I think I'm good.

I was first introduced to iconic animation styles through Ebata Walk, still remains my favourite.
Look up animator MADs on YouTube, they usually have great music too.
Awesome!
The HC movie is basically one long normal episode with a new villain.
You can't go wrong with princess, it's pretty damn good.
Anyway:
Fukumenkei Noise - Ep. 8
Great episode. Nino's relationship with Momo is finally making progress. He is still a dick,though.
Also, this happened.
I think you are thinking to hard.
there is no metaphor there.
it's not some special nod about talent.
his solar hands merely means that he has naturally warm hands.
not talent. innate gift.
people will talk about them for a bit.
and then about other things.
you don't go into yakitate for a deep story.
you go for orgasmic bread reactions.

The entrance exam is flawed and the support and business students have their own ways to participate.

Re:creators EP 9
You know, if its one thing i really dislike, its plot convenience.
This episode has it by the truckload. From Mamika conveniently flying past Magane, To Magane noticing her because her blood falls on her food, to Magane choosing to follow her and then reaching her in time to hear her final words, to Alice appearing out of the blue, To Mamika not being able to tell Alice her final words, to Alice being stupid enough to believe Magane (a character whom at her core is based on LYING)
Troyca really hasn't impressed me with any of their offerings, between this, Aldnoah and Sakurako. Everything just seems average/bad/awful.
ps: Souta is still being a shitty MC. Yes character growth i know /s.
Gundam Thunderbolt S2 EP3
It was all-right, probably a worse episode than the previous 2.
The space monks faction (or w/e) still cracks me up. Not a fan of any of the Zeon side mobile suits this season since the Acguy/Gogg/Z'Gok are some of my least favourite designs.
Little Witch Academia - EP21
Good episode, Croix motives still remain a mystery. Probably both sides are trying to achieve the same thing just with different methods.
I know its coming in the next episode, but I'll just say that they really missed the opportunity to have the big reveal this episode when Ursula was protecting Akko. Would have made for a more epic and impact-ful scene rather than just outright telling/showing her (which i'm assuming is going to happen in the next episode). Please prove me wrong!

Congratulations!
That, and as Mr Bandages likes to point out with the entrance exam, the school isn't exactly the best at playing things fairly.
Lacks screens from H shows.
Congrats!
Is there any reason to watch this beyond the OP featuring the girl instead?
Prisoners
It definitely had the signature atmosphere of his films along with some really good cinematography but it kind of drags towards the end.
I'm not very keen on such stories these days but it managed to capture my attention for most of the part.
Lion
Why did this have to be such a linear story. The post time skip events feel really jarring but they get the point across so I'll give it that.
Worth a watch, thought provoking take on adoption with many touching moments.

In my mind, I don't need to see what we evolve (or degrade, depending how you look at it) into. That's for generations in the future to experience. There's already an overwhelming amount to experience right now. I certainly don't mind people running off with ET. All I'd ask is for them is to not force those who don't want to go that drastic path to go along with them. There has been enough of that getting to where we are today.

Little Witch Academia || Episode 21
Could have saved me some trouble and condensed the whole season into this one line, Trigger.

Re:Creator 9
They really should've use Magane as exposition dump, because she is way too entertaining. I gotta give it to Rei Hiroe, dude is the best when creating crazy villain.
So, altair is a fanfiction that come from a original series? So, she is the 50 shades of gray of this show :lol
Birdy the Mighty: Decode S1 [END]
After the first three episodes, unfortunately, the show lost a lot of its charm as it slowly built up for the finale. Maybe not so surprisingly, even the animation budget seemed lacking most of the time, though there were a couple of good fight scenes here and there. On the other hand though, the finale was really good, except one not-so-small detail, and the final few episodes saved the show. The penultimate one was just stunning and the direction succeeded in conveying the dreadfulness of death. I think this is what I mostly missed in its middle, as the episodes on Birdy's planet were simply awful and a parody of the show, while the rest tried to establish characters and plot elements in a very boring way. Birdy's and Tsutomu's relationship along with the themes of death took a backseat, only to return during the climax.
In the midst of mediocrity though, the slow development of Sayaka's relationship with Tsutomu and her worsening mental condition were very interesting. It really made you care about them and it managed to justify Birdy's lack of composure later. The music, the general feeling of depression and all of those deaths gave everything a lot of impact and the final confrontation with Ryunka/Sayaka was executed perfectly, as I couldn't imagine a better (and cuter) way to destroy an all-powerful ancient weapon... Except there is that terrible cop out, as a show that wasn't shy about death, really, really didn't want to kill its main character and had to reuse the deus ex machina of the advanced technology that resurrects the dead... Like, the sacrifice was drained out of its impact... Sayaka losing her memories and leaving was the cherry of this terrible mess too... I feel that the show could have a very strong and emotional ending if there were actual stakes...
I also liked the lack of an explicit enemy. If I had to appoint a main antagonist, it would be Shyamalan, but the show made it pretty clear that he was a pawn to everyone else. The first season set up a lot of stuff about internal conflicts and alien interests, which I hope that they'll be the focus of S2, and there are still factions and characters with undefined purposes and goals. On Shyamalan, I'd argue he was more interesting than your average villain that fails to control a source of power, and I liked his narcissism and boldness, but he had a disappointing ending.
Anyway, overall, I'd say I enjoyed it. I'll fondly remember S1 for its spectacular action animation and the yandere/ojou-sama Sakamoto Maaya.
