Sailor Moon 46 END

EVERYONE DIES and then we had a reset button from the beginning of the series. This wasn't a thing in Precure ;-; It's too bitter sweet, Rei never even kissed Shrine Boy, Ami didn't do the dew with that Youma guy.

Well there we go, the first season of Sailor Moon in about 12-ish days. Well that was a sexier than Cartoon Network made you believe show. A time where Toei didn't do too much actual fighting animation for anything not called Dragonball Z, we had Sailor Scouts and DORAMA and asscheeks.

Usagi, frankly, she was annoying, and yet grew on me because her antics were rather hilarious, Rei is Rei, Ami is Ami, Mako is pretty (tall) Makino was... not entirely what I expected. Why so bittersweet, why. Whhhhy. Why, it's not faaair, DAMMIT CHILDRENS SHOWS, GOING ABOVE MY EXPECTATIONS! WHY! Dammit, this is painful.

Good first season despite this.

Oh, I've read it, but there's only one and a half chapters.

I would rather have some Moringa Milk if they had to troll for a yuri manga to turn into a pander anime. lol

(Hiyori Otsu and Takamura Jin's stories are probably too short, unfortunately!)

Wow! Run Ai...
Though he's probably going to end up helping you.

This is some grade A heavy plot. All the players are here, including Scar Akai by the looks of it. There's so many questions I have— especially regarding Sera, Amuro, and Subaru. It's been hinted at that they're working together, but was that Vermouth with Subaru? Has she gone full rogue from the BO? But then why is she feeding information back to Gin and Vodka? Perhaps Subaru truly is Bourbon and he just works for Vermouth in the same way Vodka does for Gin and in that sense they're both backhandedly helping Conan and Ai.

Gah, I'm going back and rewatching this arc's episodes.

Couldn't be more ready for next week.

The following contains some rampant usage of capitalization. As I recognize that this offends those of you with more delicate stomachs, it is spoilered so that you do not have to read it. Highlight at your own discretion. You have been warned.

Hey. HEY. HEY. You know what is worse than SHITTY CG MECHA/CARS/AIRPLANES/SUBMARINES/BASICALLY FUCK SHITTY CGI? When you have TWO SHITTY CG AIRPLANES FLYING NEXT TO A HAND DRAWN ONE. I mean WHAT IN THE BLUE FUCK EVEN MADE YOU THINK THAT NO ONE WOULD NOTICE THAT OR THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE OKAY WITH IT.

Elena's tantrum in this episode is the idiotic cap on a trite character arc. At least her VA sounds cute. That's all I got left for this shit.

According to the Famitsu interview with the creators, Kamikaze Douga will be handling the animation for the Short Peace game tie-in Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day. Pretty cool. CG forever! Etc.

The Devil is a Part Timer 11

So, where to begin? First, Olba is just about the most effed up Priest like, ever. I mean what kind of dude
raises his own child to be an assassin for the Church? That's some Ivalice nonsense, there.
And what gets me is that while what Chiho says is technically true within the context of what we've seen in the series, and Maou really does seem like a nice, laid back guy,
he also started a war that ended in the deaths and enslavement of untold lives, human and otherwise, and as the Lord and Commander of the aggressor forces, is personally accountable for what he did. He even flippantly mentions to Emi that he never considered how much havoc he was wreaking.
It's very easy to see Chiho's side of things over Suzuno or Emi's, because Chiho's view of things is essentially the one that the audience has been given to work with. However, Emi's and Suzuno's hatred of Maou is no less justified, because
his actions ruined their lives, depriving them of any normalcy. More directly in Emi's case than Suzuno's, but still.
What Maou did to them is no less real or evil than what he's done for Chiho being good. The funny thing is that the only side of this we really haven't heard, save it be in passing, is
Maou's. What were his motives for starting the war?

At the same time, we get a bit of idealism vs realism in Suzuno's view of things versus Emi's. Emi, being the
storybook heroine, and having lead the fairy tale hero life, looks at things in terms of challenges she can surmount. Her whole life has been a fantastic, heroic story full of points where she has had to do the impossible and so on.
Suzuno, on the other hand,
being an assassin for a Corrupt Church in a world where corrupt priests can bargain fallen angels back into Heaven, has seen nothing but the stark reality of life on Ente Isla, and has made numerous sacrifices, or been told she is making them, for the sake of maintaining order and life on Ente Isla.
So it makes sense that Emi would see Maou as
a challenge to overcome
while Suzuno views him as
a sacrifice to be made for "the greater good."

I'll be honest, when I started watching this show, I wasn't expecting to be able to say that much about the characters, but they've done a decent job of building this up and making the motivations of the characters involved understandable enough. The lynchpin of the whole thing, as far as I'm concerned, is still
Maou's motivations for what he did. It's either a Huge Misunderstanding or Maou has basically been doing some atoning here on Earth.

So yeah, massively overestimated by the Amazon stalker points. Split is 37,339 Blu-ray and 19,454 DVD.

Do note that while the w1 total for SnK vol.1 didn't beat UtaPri's to-date total, it did beat its w1 total (54,460), making it the best first week debut for Spring so far.

So this episode is mostly about Rush as Zero is sleeping beneath the Angel Remiel. We meet Dynamo, who is kinda pretending he's Moses and is leading the humans and reploids alike to find the Promised Land. Some people wanna KCDC, but Zero ain't gonna have none of that and smacks their faces into the ground. Also some really weird stuff about BLOOD at the beginning.

Majestic Prince: Episode 1 to uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The dialogue of the show comes straight out of a cereal box. Words can't say it's terrible but you can't say it's good either. Which is a shame since it looks like alot of work went into making it but the execution is so.... lacking. Only redeeming factors are the artstyle is surprisingly addictive. The switch from "traditional anime" faces to cartoon-like expressions is likeable (or adorable?). And there's fanservice but the show feels so hollow like you're watching nothing most of the time. Think I'm going to be bailing out soon.

I imagine it to be one of those "surprise toy in every box". Basically generic stuff that's meant to provide cheap entertainment.

I thought Tessa was vapid and her "character" and place in the series was always pretty stupid. How do you become a ship captain by 16? Kaname has way more character than her.

Remember the BushiRoad anime? No? Well it was some ancient crossmedia mecha anime project involving a ton of companies including Gainax at the time which never got made. Instead the company formed for the project ended up doing merchandising and shit in the industry for the past decade. Well, now it's BACK!

Didn't sound like a joke to me?
I think (<- speculation) that he meant for the character to be female, but some readers thought she was male, and he decided not to specify the character's gender for the benefit of those readers.
(Quite recently, at an event, dôjinshi authors were asked to always specify which gender their version of Hanji was.)


that wiki said:
However, the anime has explicitly shown Hanji to be female, and she uses feminine pronouns.

Well, I don't know what they're talking about.

Super glad to see Maou-sama do so well. Hope this means a second season. Henneko and Muromi-san seem to have done fairly well too, which is nice. Though I probably wouldn't expect a second season out of either (as much as I'd love to see both, though I think in the case of Henneko, OVAs are more likely since the anime adapted 5 of the 7 LNs).

Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!/Watamote Episode 3: Well, this is quickly becoming my hatewatch title for the season now that Attack on Titan decided to find decent pacing for the moment. That being said, this is by far my favorite episode,
mainly because Tomoko and her tedious whining got nice solid roundhouse kick to the mid-section and I like it when characters I hate end up in pain.
That being said from an objective perspective Tomoki is an irredeemable asshole and a shitheel of a brother not only for his actions but he shows not sympathies as a sibling. I suspect whomever wrote this tripe was an only child.

Er. I'm pretty sure the author and the staff of the TV series are well aware of the characters' flaws. One could even say "that's the joke".
