Sakura Quest: 3
Pretty good episode. Yoshino had it pretty tough with those questions in the beginning, she tried to hang in there though and really made an effort to learn more about the town after that. The town is pretty indifferent about making improvements though since they're content without tourists, that's going to be quite a task to turn that around. However, seems like Yoshino has her mind set to stay and officially getting the girls to help, feels like the fitting end of a prologue.

They actually show her baring all for the 3d scanner, but I thought I probably shouldn't post that. lol
(Even though that kind of proves her point, I suppose. DEEEP)
Looks like it might be time for me to finally start my Kizumonogatari watch.
so many years
I wish I had waited to do it all in one go. Ah well!

Is Kizu all out now?
Soon they will evolve to...So I just found out about another Japanese subculture where people wear these lycra bodysuits to express their alienation with Japanese society.
It makes me wonder if this is where they got the idea for Gachaman Crowds.

I am specifically referring to the 'news reel' film segment which has it's own distinct visual and directorial style compared to the rest of the episode.

Unrelated, but I really wanted this movie to be good. After seeing ScarJo in Under the Skin, I was really reassured that she was a good actor being directed in poor parts. Under the Skin, Match Point, Lost in Translation, all excellent films. Under the Skin even has similar underlying themes to GitS. I still think she was a good choice barring any of the politics of Hollywood. The fact that it sucks so much hurts doubly since it definitely won't do anything for ScarJo's street cred.
Yoriko Mizushiro has the best vagina art. It's a shame I can't find any of her actual shorts online. They have been my favorite parts of the indie animation scene in recent years.
The show repeatedly breaks its own tone, I don't think they were that concerned about how strict of a portrayal they were going for. Having things like zoom-ins or off-center camera shots are extremely minor details.

Kizumonogatari part 3
That was just amazing. That final fight was one of the best fights I've seen in anime. Also makes me want to rewatch the series now knowing how it all began.

What now?Speaking of, they interviewed Megumi Igarashi and talked about her vagina art and her arrest for distributing oscenities:
I belive symphogear wasn't offically subbed until GX, but then they subbed all seasons at once.
Also the series makes a ton of money in japan,but not so much in the west.
Maybe the licence is just too expensive right now.
The original series of Symphogear was actually streamed as it aired on Nico Videos short-lived attempt to get into the English language simulcast game.

She sent a scan of her vagina to her Kickstarter backers and was arrested.
Vagina art is hard to catch? lol

Got a lot of free time recently so I decided to watch some anime that I couldn't watch before.
Your Lie In April - This left me in a trainwreck. The music really hits hard. Like fuck! I will remember this anime fondly.
Erased - Very intriguing but I kinda feel it's felt rushed towards the end. Sad that protag didn't get his childhood friend.

Basically got hit by the laws that make all JAV censored. But she's basically a feminist artist who became an vagina activist. lol

Yup, second season wasn't made available anywhere prior to it going up on CR alongside the third, and I'm pretty sure the original was probably unavailable by the time the second even aired as well given how much of a disaster Nicos streaming attempts ended up panning out as.

I'm in this to see how much smarter than his classmates the MC will be presented as and how many girls want his dick because of it. Current girls on his dick count is 2.
Hajimete no Gal 01
This show is trashy and I normally like trashy shows, but the MC and his friends are so fucking unlikable that I don't think I want to watch another episode.
Sakura Quest 15
You know this isn't the most engaging show or amusing, but the stories and the problems Yoshi and the other girls are dealing with keep me interested. I have some thoughts about the old man and his issues with the drying pond.

When does that famous YYH tournament arc begin? Because if it's far away (am at like ep18) I don't think I'll still be able to enjoy that, even if that arc is as good as people say. Right now the only thing I like is the art direction.

What even is this show.
How did it get to this point?
What does this have to do with anything?
Where did this backstory even come from?
This whole thing is just escalation for escalation's sake.

Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu-hen
Oh, and while the 3rd movie had undoubtedly plenty of amazing scenes,
was just immeasurably surreal, I loved everything about it.
And the trilogy is over... The story that started everything couldn't really have any better treatment than this. All of the movies are worth watching, even if someone isn't a big fan of Monogatari, and they're really a huge visual treat. The third one continues with a lot of playful dialogues, a very cool fight full of great animation cuts and, of course, the conclusion to the "wound story", as it succeeds in adapting the melancholy of the book's last few chapters.
Oh, and while the 3rd movie had undoubtedly plenty of amazing scenes,
the one about Araragi realizing that Kiss-shot is eating a human
Well, and there's the Hanekawa scene after that.
Hanekawa's the best.

GAMERS! Episode 1
I think having such low expectations helped me liking the first episode, i'm interested to see where this is going since it didn't go the way i though it would (how normally goes i mean).

Aho Girl ep 1-2
Wow this is dumb and violent but the violence is so over the top it hits Tom and Jerry territory for me so I'm cool with it. Aho Girl the Molester I am way less into but I loved the bit where they ripped the piss out of the straight man for being an angry, friendless loser too. So I'll keep watching and hope they don't decide that the molestation stuff is where the gold is.

Little Witch Academia: 24-25
What a grand finale. Everyone got to shine with the teamwork but special props to Akko. She put on an incredible show pulling off all those moves, really came a long way since the beginning. The very final scene was sweet but could have lasted just a bit longer. Overall, this was a wonderful show. Remember when the first OVA came out and wondered how good it would be if it tuned into a TV series and it took a while but they came through with something great. Its not perfect though, besides Ursula, Holbrook, and maybe Finnelan the professors of Luna Nova dont have much of presence and when they were there too often they took the backseat so Dianas smarts could be showed off. Some of the later heavy plot stuff wasnt that great or rather predictable though it was still entertaining to watch. Akkos energetic personality and her interaction with her friends was one of the the best things about this. Just seeing them goof around when things werent plot heavy was great. Also, the show had a ton of gorgeous moments. Another season of this would be excellent, seems like there is a lot left to explore and show. Just following Akko and co on their wild adventures again would be good.

Eureka Seven: AO 3-4
This soundtrack is good, and the sloth continues to be cute. Elena Peoples seems like a more blatant version of Mari Makinami Illustrious, and I'm okay with that. Aliens are bad, adults are bad, authorites are bad... it's a mecha series alright. I see Ao adheres to the Captain Okita school of combat strategy, he must be brooding over his radical hair. So they're excavating energy core thingies from the scub coral? Perhaps scub corals are natural nuclear power plants. Activist rallies with reggae because fossil fuels I guess.

The soundtrack is really awesome especially OP Signal Alart but many other songs, and also Hemenway song Escape.
Also Ao Fukai is the best character.

Yes, she is being really shady about her motives and the fact that she can alter the present to match the future is a little OP. She is also toying with Kei hardcore by messing with Haruki.. That final scene was pretty brutal, shoving it in his face, that he lost progression with her....
Yup, extremely dumb, however, it make me laugh like an idiot at the same time, so.....
It's pretty well done!
