Riko stands in the fire.
Riko accidentally draws too much Aggro on the boss, then the boss cleaves the rest of the party.
Whenever Riko is selected to have a mechanic or debuff on her, somehow she will ALWAYS do the wrong thing.
Healers spend more time on Riko then on the tanks because she keeps taking unnecessary damage.
Riko moves out of Flame Wreathe.
Riko somehow always gets the best gear.
Riko wanders out of the starting zone and gets beat up by high level enemies. She turns around and then walks in the other direction to an even worse place.

Worst player, luckiest drops in the least amount of time.

Misaki and Kuroko are there so everything is fine.
Needs more Saten though.

If Made in Abyss were a tabletop RPG, Riko is that one player that always rolls a 1 when the DM makes you roll for survival.
Lol, that is a good question.Why you always get to it when the season is over

Season 2 is already over. Season 3 is starting in 2 weeks or somethin.
No Saten-san at launch is a a travesty.
Split cour then ?

Ah sorry. Had it pegged for one cour and thought they just announced the second, and with those dates in PV, winter one.
Fate/Apocrypha - 12
I'm not too savvy on the history of the Fate series, but did I miss some important reference in this episode? I feel kinda lost...
I'm guessing that the priest (Ruler?) of Red, Shirou, is Shirou Kamiya from the Fate/Stay series? He kinda looks like Archer Shirou. But then he says his name is something else, and Darnic knows immediately who he is? There's a flashback scene in the beginning where it shows the two exchanging a sideways glance...
Also, what was the Jeanne-Shirou conversation all about?
Is it supposed to be evident what's happening? Because I'm not quite following. Can someone break it down for this dummy? Thanks
As far as I can tell...
Shirou in Fate/Apocrypha is unrelated outside of appearance to Shirou of FSN. This Shirou was Darnic's rival during the third grail war who died. However, they were brought back as a Ruler class servant for the next grail war. Rather than being all neutral like the Ruler class is supposed to be, they decided to take an active side in the grail war, for reasons. This is what messed everything up and caused Jeanne to be summoned.
I think. Probably.
I think. Probably.
I'm really excited to finally play this one...

Riko leads the raid but doesn't tell anyone what the 'Orbed-Piercer' is until they encounter it and it's too late and they wipe.
Spoiler free run bro.

Ob boy, a new Idolmaster game for PS4. If only Million Live would get an anime.
Gintama 76-81 Yagyu Arc
Events that occur this arc:
-Kondo actually goes to marry a gorilla.
-Kagura breaks Okita's leg. Proceeds to fight enemy while carrying him, to expected results.
-We get a full episode of a Hijikita fight/backstory
-An entire episode is spent on characters trying to manipulate each other into using sand paper as toilet paper.
Pretty strong arc! It was nice to see that the series handles a woman wanting to marry Otae fairly well. I think they did a decent job of giving us reason why each character were forcing themselves into the marriage, rather than it just being a one sided ordeal. Several good character moments for Shinpachi, Otae, Hijikita, and Gin as well.
I'll be interested to see if Yagyu will be added to the cast or if they'll be left at this arc for the most part.

7O3X Episode 12
Great ending, the two major pairings of the show are really good, though I definitely prefer Akira and his school club president, (but Koshiyama and Mikuriya is great too).
I really like the rivalvry between Koshiyama and Mikuriya and wonder if someday they can get on a team together, it could be good.
The rules for this final match was also good, Akira added the spice it needed to become incredible exciting.

You never replied to my question on if you plan on doing any future breakdowns of any other music related shows.

Ooooooohhhhhh, when was that? I forgot to sub to the summer anime thread and just kinda forgot to come back every once in a while! I'm bad with rechecking threads without those on.
As for other music shows, if a good opportunity presents itself, sure. I've been told I should check out Your Lie in April, and at least from what little people have asked me about scenes in that previously, seems like it'd be nice to address at least the music parts of that. I think it was duckroll that asked (waaaay back) about if the audio in a solo contest performance on the show matched up with what the characters were critiquing (to which I remember the answer was yes). So I think there can definitely be stiff to talk about there. I don't know if I did commentary a la my Eupho writeups if it would hold up with any of the dramatic elements, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to try.
Nodame Cantabile would be a super fun re-watch/write-up candidate for me as well. I first saw the series as I was literally starting my journey through college/conservatory as it started airing. It was extremely relatable to me during that point in my life. Not only would I be able to touch on a lot of personal experiences, but I could totally validate a lot of what that show mentions, too. It's definitely a favorite of mine!
So I guess yes, as long as there are people who wanna read them, i'm more than happy to do some of them! Just have to find time now, as work's been kinda busy recently.

To promote FMP IV, presumably? Probably couldn't get KyoAni on board, so this'll have to do. I agree that artistically it seems completely pointless, of course.
Hey listen if E7 can get a trilogy of recap movies leading into AO 2, I don't see why FMP can't.
"Why is he giving a thumbs up"
Lost it at Shinpachi packing bananas in tupperware.
I just threw up in my mouth a little.

My Hero Academia S1
Watched this on a whim/all the random pictures I see of it. Really love super heroes so I was curious to see what this take on it would be, going in completely blind. I really enjoyed it! I like the powers the cast has, some seem super useless and others super strong as a point of any Japanese team anime/manga.
Dig the cast and especially All Might. Like that the main character has to work on himself and realizes it, compared to other shows where character growth stops once the power is achieved. Thought the "main badguy" at the end was too typical anime, but the fight was good. Looking forward to starting S2 at some point.

I don't think she's that bad all the time. I feel like the anime-original content in Episode 9 was a piece of character assassination. It was nothing but Riko making back-to-back terrible decisions for 20 minutes. Not sure why those creating the anime thought that was a good idea.
Don't forget Sunrise. It seems a lot of studios are making recap/edited movies and remakes/retellings of older properties in order to promote new material under the same banner.
I guess the home video market's slow decline and its effects on the fates of completely original projects is to blame.
But...why?
VO + Katoki + Koshiro + ........... = T_T
