Nozaki-kun > Love Lab

These are two vastly different kinds of shows. I cant really put one over the other as both are excellent.

Goldfish Warning! (Kingyo Chūihō!)

Episode 1

Goldfish Warning! is an anime produced by Toei from around 1991 to 1992. What I found interesting about it is that it aired just before Sailor Moon and once the show was finished some key staff from Sailor Moon actually moved over from Goldfish Warning to work on the show.

This included Junichi Sato, or SatoJun, who was GW's head director before working on to direct the first part of Sailor Moon and then directing and storyboarding certain episodes of the followup parts to the series. GW's composer was Takanori Arisawa who went on to compose the music for most of Sailor Moon aside from maybe some of the opening's and endings and possibly a couple of the insert songs. Kunihiko Ikuhara directed some episodes of GW before moving on to direct episodes of Sailor Moon as well as becoming head director until Stars. Takuya Igarashi also directed some episodes of GW before moving on to direct some episodes of Sailor Moon and then becoming head director for Sailor Moon Stars. From there he went on to direct some of Ojamajo Doremi, another magical girl show from Toei that aired in the late 90's to early 00's.



The show stars Chitose who was a rich girl until her father passed away and it seemed like she had lost her inheritance. All she was left with is a goldfish, which isn't even gold. She is then forced to attend a more rundown school that is far from the elite class she knew where even animals will roam the school grounds here. Here you meet the other classmates such as Wapiko. She's pretty much your more simple minded, super hyper and friendly genki girl. I'm in the middle right now on her but some might find her hilarious where others might find her really annoying.



The show actually has a format where it's split into two parts. The first part will have an episode title and cover part of the story and then after the eyecatch there is a second episode title and part to the show. In the first part you find out Chitose wasn't really poor at all but her family's attorney was trying to keep her inheritance for himself. Instead of wanting to go back to her former school in the second part, Chitose actually buys the rundown school and fixes the school up such that she can compete against her former classmates.

As another Sailor Moon reference,Keiko Han, who voiced Queen Beryl in the first part and Luna all throughout the show, is in GW voicing the student council president of Chitose's former school. It's just fun hearing her do the voice for a more uptight ojou-sama type character.

Anyway, I just really enjoyed this first episode to the show. I think I was smiling almost the whole time. Just really fun and charming. People who are lamenting about the lack of reaction faces in Sailor Moon Crystal should really take a look at this show. All throughout this first episode they were on display, even switching from one reaction face into another. I'll post a couple but there were many many more on top of these.

I watch this show so long ago but it will always be one of my gateways to the cute world.
I gravitated towards it like a magnet.
Funnily enough its been so long since I watched it I cant remember details of any episodes lol.

Two very different machines. Its just a background art error.
Mostly the shading.

Did season one of Natsume ever get a western BluRay release? That shows specialness has me wanting to actually own it, but well...no BluRay, no sale.

I think all the seasons did. NISA got them.

All the porn talk!

Who wouldn't want to vomit some Ikuhara?

We miss youre presence on here Reg-chan. I still remember that tempura avatar and all the crazy fun stuff you used to post regularly.
*squeezes you like a penguin

I just find Barakamon sweeter than funny.

As for Nozaki-kun. I prefer the anime over the manga. The acting, etc make it better for me.

Same. Barakamon is more a cute slice of life sorta thing than a comedy feel. Similar to Neia_7.

 

[Blusby]

So I'm curious as to what people's opinions of the VN(source) are. I've read some opinions elsewhere that seem to think somewhat highly of the source but it sounds like the usual LN bait but with some grimdark thrown in.

The common route is hilarious, the jokes all hit and for the most part it feels like the scenario writer (Fujisaki) went for a style close to writing a novel. The individual routes though for the most part range from mediocre to plain bad (there are 3 or 4 writers), though Amane's (the busty redhead) route is decent, and what the series will definitely adapt.

 

[Snkfanatic]

i've seen all of season 1 of k-on and the first 1-2 eps of season 2. (I was hoping they were going to actually do something, but alas they just went right back to doing nothing)
up until that point any scenes not related to falling down or eating cake feel like they are there just to pad out the show and get to more scenes of falling down or eating cake...
perhaps the second season/movie actually eventually go somewhere but their pointless screwing around (and horrendous season 2 opening song) drove me away from the series for good.

I wanted a series about creating music with friends, and when they actually go to do a concert what happens... we hear the final note of the concert... we don't see anything -_- It doesn't help that I detest yui and didn't enjoy following her adventures in tripping at all.

The bolded is something I took major issue with as well. The movie did have a few nice new songs in it thankfully.

They've been doing plenty of something! Those moments aren't padding the show out, they're establishing relationships. And even when the characters are "eating cake", it's usually about wondering what to do with the club, or brainstorming a new song. There's a stronger throughline in the show than you're giving it credit for, but going by the tone of your posts, I'm not sure it was ever the right show for you. It was a show about making music with friends, and there's more to being a band than being constantly "on" with music.

 

[BluWacky]

Film Crit Hulk's essay on humor in Guardians of the Galaxy explains a concept he calls "dramatic alleviation", which is basically about the judicious use of jokes to undercut serious moments.

My least favourite thing in that whole film was (spoilers for near ending)

Spoiler

the dance-off

, where I felt the dramatic alleviation was completely unbelievable. But then I saw the film in a near empty cinema and didn't laugh at very much of it, so... what do I know?

(I feel like I must come across as some kind of humour-devoid robot. I dislike anime comedy and now I'm poo-pooing THE BIG FILM OF THE MOMENT. I do like comedy, I really do! I just watched the whole series of Toast Of London and laughed myself silly through most of it!)

(PS I didn't think the film was dreadful - it was fine. But I liked Avengers better in terms of "ensemble superhero movie with quips".)

(PPS Branduil, I think Ginga no Moribito would be a better fake title for obvious connotations!)

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Here's the 2013 Karuta Queen match. (glorious 360p warning) Damn, 2 hours overall and only the first game of the two was actually close. Also the setup looks really similar to the Queen match of Chihayafuru.

Now if only we could access their inner dialog!

"Dramatic alleviation" is why I like Prisma Illya so much.

Meant to read that last night. Thanks for the reminder.

It was a show about making music with friends, and there's more to being a band than being constantly "on" with music.

it all felt superficial... they never really talked about anything meaningful and while yes they talked about what to do with the club or songs they never actually did anything with that... it was just pointless talk that never actually lead to any changes. It felt like they were trying to use the scenes for comedic purposes, but they were about as funny as a video of a wet sponge hitting a wall.

Now when the new girl showed up we did have a little bit of plot, but it only lasted for an ep before it was back to eating cake and talking about nothing that would ever result in any changes.

Anyways you are likely right it was never the right show for me. As I was hoping from the start it would be more like a light hearted version of Beck. Beck actually deals with serious issues about building a band and then some (thus why I would have been happy with a lighter fluffier version) but alas I can't even treat k-on as a show about music... not when it has less music and concerts in it then a show like angel beats which is also not about music :/

I guess I will have to just stick with Full Moon as my lighthearted music show (with lighthearted obviously not talking about the whole show >.>

 

[jman2050]

you know... you guys are temping me to watch love lab...
but then I have a feeling you won't like it when I come back and talk about how stupid and unfunny it is (I mean there is a small chance I won't hate it and I would try my best to find redeeming points, but I can't remember the last time a k-onish (bunch of cute girls in a random club) looking show was actually enjoyable for me)

Love Lab isn't even remotely similar to garbage like K-On outside of an all-female cast (which isn't even true later on)

 

[Joe Molotov]

azumanga doesn't fill me with the urge to burn things just by mentioning it's name because while the main character is cute, there is a point to the show aside from eating cake and falling over.

Is there?

 

[Midonin]

I can't even treat k-on as a show about music... not when it has less music and concerts in it then a show like angel beats which is also not about music :/

It's about music the same way Robotics;Notes is about robots. If you go into one expecting what "should" be, you may be disappointed, but both are really about the effects that music/robots have on people on a broader scale. It's risen from being simply about that thing to being about the concept of that thing, and how it's interpreted by everyone else. And viewing every anime in terms of "plot" is something endemic to the fandom at large that I wish would go away, because looking for a concrete series of events often means that more character-based or theme-based changes just go sailing over peoples' heads.

 

[zulux21]

Is there?

just wacky adventures in general and Osaka's random thoughts.

not going to say that azumanga has a deep plot, it doesn't, but even the gags they get hung up on only show up 2-3 times (like the cooking is so fun one)

at least with azumanga I don't feel like it always came back to the club room to eat more cake :/

I don't disagree with what you are saying, preconceptions about a show can alter how you feel about it. Even then, even looking at k-on as something that isn't about music but instead about the girls relationships... I can't feel that anything ever happens... it's all just to superficial with no real changes to the status quo between the relationship of the girls. I mean a show like Hanamaru kindergarten to me has more serious character development then k-on... it all just felt so pointless by the end of season one :/ (and I don't recall anything that was funny in k-on in general... the show always felt more like it was going for Dwaaaas not Haaaas.)

again stuff might actually happen in season 2 or the movie, but I have long since gotten off the boring ride that was k-on and have no plans to return.

 

[Blusby]

Hmm I really want to know how far this adaption is gonna cover.

Judging by the pacing it looks like they're gonna end it at around the middle of the Aogiri arc.

 

[jman2050]

Azumanga Daioh is funny, K-On is not.

The discussion should really end there.

 

[Midonin]

Locodol 07

Within this past season of anime, I've seen events that should be exciting rendered lifeless, and events that are commonplace turned exciting. Like this one. The main cast watches a broadcast of the previous episodes' events, and it takes up the entire first half of the episode. They found ways to make it fun, showing us what their families are like and seeing how their friends react to it. And wanting to see yourself on TV is a very understandable thing to get excited about. The second half, with Mirai, confirms both that she's here (I was wondering when that'd be) and that Inori Minase is pretty good for a relative newbie. Such a charming little show.

it's all just to superficial with no real changes to the status quo between the relationship of the girls. it all just felt so pointless by the end of season one :/

But by the end of season two/the movie, that's simply not true. You saw the first few episodes of S2, the seeds of this small but massive change were being planted right there.

 

[Jex]

Azumanga Daioh is funny, K-On is not.

I feel like we've been here before.

 

[zulux21]

But by the end of season two/the movie, that's simply not true. You saw the first few episodes of S2, the seeds of this small but massive change were being planted right there.

That may be true, I likely won't ever get around to watching it though (that is totally the second season's opening's fault... as I tried to at least finish the second season of k-on in the background in english, but whenever that opening comes up it sounds like nails across a chalkboard @___________________________@) ... because not only did I dislike k-on a lot by the end, I now have a small irrational hatred towards all things Moe and club settings in general because of it (that doesn't mean I can't enjoy moe things from time to time see Hanamaru, and I can still watch club things... I just am quick to drop stuff with those if I don't like the first few eps)

anyways, to give an idea of my likelyhood of liking love lab lets look at the top recommendations of mal for shows related to love lab and my thoughts on them
yuri yuri - hated dropped after 1 ep not funny at all
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - I managed to finish this one, and while some parts were really really dumb overall I didn't mind it
k-on - obviously I don't have positive feelings for this series
Seitokai Yakuindomo - detested this show couldn't figure out how someone thought it was funny
Minami-ke - didn't mind this one but never bothered finishing it
Seitokai no Ichizon - detested this show couldn't figure out how someone thought it was funny.
Kill Me Baby - didn't enjoy the bit I saw.

:/

anyways I am off to work and won't be able to respond for at least 5 hours.

2 minutes into Brighter than The Dawning Blue

Wait, isn't this the plot to a Gundam story? What's going on here?

EDIT: IS THAT THE FREAKING BUSTER MACHINE 3?!?

This show was never anything special, but it didnt aggravate me either so thats a plus!
I started watching it after I saw the character Feena and I wasl ike "squee I need to see this"
That and the infamous lettuce.

Just saw this in gaming side

....

Stahp it Japan. STAAAAAAAAAHP. You're only bringing us closer to Sword Art Online future that Kirito-kun wants. Nobody wins.

Retractable lips? what?

Angelic Layer Ep. 16

The writing in this episode. Woof. The way they kept beating around the bush about Misaki's weak point made me overthink it way, way too much. The reveal just served to remind that this was written for children. -_- (At least I hope this was primarily intended for children.)

I haven't watched any other series of this variety in a long time to know how this compares, but the internal logic is really poor.

Spoiler

How could Hatoko's angel be knocked out in one blow from this angel while Misaki's can survive several??

Complaining about wish fulfillment in a wish fulfillment series. *shakes head*

Its just a typical case of plot armor Femme. Dont think too much about it.
It happens in a whole lot of shows both eastern and western.

Here in America we have a saying: Where there's smoke, there's fire. The sister's adoration goes well beyond that of a normal brother/sister relationship.

Its not incest but certainly panders to that demographic that likes such things.
Miyuki on her own definitely has incest thoughts. If the brother would reciprocate, that train would speed out of the station.

But she's so cuuute. I can't bring myself to hate her.

I know right? I even have a figure of her. Dont hate the snake

But lollipops are delicious.

I see what you did there.

So does japan, to be fair.

I liked that part just because Ronan was such a self-righteous, humorless xenophobe in the middle of his big bad evil guy speech. His reaction is what makes that scene.

Database is not something you love at first. You must listen to it multiple times, but when you finally live in the database though? Wow wow wow, it's amazing.

Doggy pls

Sounds like somebody needs a trip to the dentist/their sister's room!

It amazes me how much of an impact that one scene has made. Granted it is a rather unforgettable scene.
Truly one of the best.

Let it go and get spirited away into second.....

frozen has surpassed spirited away as the fastest to 2 million units sold (4 weeks vs 11) and is well on it's way to being the best selling movie (perhaps just animated not sure) of all time in japan

Much deserved success.
Not surprised at all.

Angelic Layer Ep. 17

The :SDBurton/faux yuri levels were off the charts in this episode. :| Misaki's mother deserves a medal for how awful she is. I can't believe this is being played straight.

Misaki's mother definitely has issues. I was always kind of critical of her actions throughout this show.

Why do you even like Nadeko? She was such an awful character.

I cant hate her. Maybe its that voice. Or maybe I just like a well written character who isnt immediately likeable sometimes. Im weird I guess.

Hidamari Sketch 1

I know that I've been burned in the past when watching shaft shows but I keep hearing about how great this is so why not try it?

Oh god.. The cuteness is just too powerful... Going "hnng" every few seconds can't be good for me. Even the Goddamn teacher is cute! Why didn't I try this sooner? So far I have a really good feeling about Miya. She might become my favorite character.

Please be careful watching this show for the good of your health. It is incredibly strong moe. Watch in measured doses and keep a defibrillator nearby for emergencies.

Firmware Update!!? have some stability! time to eat a sandwich. This was the best episode of this boring series, it was actually kinda fun, thanks to the talented writers' ability to insert a resort island in the middle of a war, a war their is country losing no less, and that it actually is part of the plot, well integrated even, no really. lolol.

It even had seemingly hand drawn(?) car animation, it looked amazing.

Will Watch:

Parasyte - hook this mo'fucka into my veins. Unf unf.

Nanatsu no Taizai - Yuuki Kaji is antihype, but I'm in for my main man Meliodas. See, you can make a fun series with godly-powerful proSWAGonists. *glares at Kiri-God and OneTrueTatsuya.

Fate Stay/Night - Best route. I don't particularly like Tohsaka, but she alright. ~I am the boner of my sword, steel is my booby, and fire is my butt~ GARcher is my husbando.

Ronia the Robber's Girl - Studio Ghibli? I'm in.

Will drop faster than a sack of hammers if it turns out crap; 3 episode test yo:

World Trigger - Why Toei? Half a chapter per episode confirmed; fillers all up in this crib. :'(

Terra Formars - Those enemy designs are something, I'll tell you that much. -.- In for brainless dumb action.

Garo Honoo no Koukin - The last Garo series I saw was pretty neat. In for Tokusatsu shenanigans.

Continue from last season, uguu:

Akame ga Kill! - Ok adaptation of manga. Nonexistent choreography in fights and weird stylized stills. Still, alright adaptation.

RWBY 2 - Fuck all y'all haters. Pyrrha is love. Pyrrha is life. All hail our megami-sama.

Hunter x Hunter - Good shit. Going along at a decent clip. Will probably finish by early/mid September.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - Mikorin is best girl. Waka is boring. Seo is :lol.

I really really really really hope NISA gets Hanayamata!

I think you might enjoy it. Its nothing at all like K-on. Not even remotely.
Much more humor in it and more slapstick. It does have some incredibly good animation. Much better than you would expect a show like this to have.

Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny 07-09

That moment with Kanu was the closest in terms of content to the first season, but even then, the way they're playing up Sousou's slowly developing inner dragon/evil side means that the content surrounding it is less problematic. I know that Hakufu

Spoiler

isn't actually dead - even if she was beaten very soundly

, and the faction with Ryuubi remains more interesting than the main characters. I think even the show itself knows this. Her decision to finally embrace her inner warlord was decently climactic.

Cardcaptor Sakura 04

An episode set entirely in Sakura's house, eh? Rain feels like a lesser form of Water, though Water seemed to be more about creating whirlpools in its first appearance. Tomoyo remains the best, prepared for anything and everything. The way the episode began, with the small problem of Sakura trying to get out of doing her chores, before becoming jungle-in-the-basement, gave the episode a nice structure. And the Kero Corner is a lot of fun.
