Don't worry about it. He's pretending to be a cheater to push me away because he thinks he's not good enough for me. But he didn't expect that I've seen way too many sappy anime romances where the male lead thinks he's the personification of total darkness. By the end of the month we'll confess to each other. Then comes the relationship.

At first it'll be hard as he deals with his issues. But I'll be patient. One day his abusive mother will show at his doorstep when we're cuddling as we watch some DTL anime. It'll be extremely emotional and a total turning point of the anime. Then once she leaves he starts screaming at me. I tell him I'll always love him and in his frustration he'll slap me. I'll run out the house crying. The months after that we'll both trying dating others. Corvo will be in a bunch of emotionless relationships while I'm dating his best friend, who has always loved me. One day we pass each other in the mall. We don't know what to say so we just do basic small talk. The emotions start to resurface. We can't stop thinking about each other and meet again behind our lovers' back. Then we escape the country and elope in a small Argentinian town.

It's been 2 years since then. Corvo and I live happily in a small cottage by the coast of Peru. He works as a fisher man while I stay at home and take care of our three adopted kids, all of different ethnicity so we can feel better about ourselves. Life isn't perfect, we struggle to make ends meet. He has night terrors over his family.

But somehow. Somehow we make it work. We persevere. I'm the happiest when I'm with him. Screen fades to black. Credits start rolling.

JoJo 6

Speedwagon: "How come I don't get to hug JoJo?"

Bruford fight felt pretty short and underwhelming, they probably could have pulled it out a little longer. There wasn't even much of a fight (can't remember if it was like that in the manga). Tarkus is a dick and Poco becomes a MAN with the power of JoJo!

Nice use of Roundabout's intro at the end of the episode.

Oh man, this is getting really good. Lots of interesting cinematography effects this episode, and the story keeps getting darker and more nuanced. It's getting hard to remember how lighthearted this was just two episodes ago.

I had a good time with it. It's a comedy/harem so you know what you're getting when you read the synopsis.

There was some genuinely funny moments in the show and parts that were surprisingly tense.

sometimes i think it's criminal that posts like these don't get read by a wider audience. Even though of course they would lack the proper context to truly appreciate it.

I think the line about the three adopted kids of different ethnicities so you can feel better about yourself is probably the funniest bit of that entire thing

That ended surprisingly nicely, I was just waiting for the camera crew to suddely shine a light on the 2 while they were on the stage at any moment, but his identity is still safe for now.
I am just wondering how can anything really "jump the shark" out of this show so far, guess it will make it that much more interesting when I get to it.

You have no idea how much i'm laughing at you right now.

Hell, even I had no idea it would get like it did, and I marathoned it (to the most recent episode) all just two weeks ago.

Just knowing where you're going to be at when you're all caught up is more than enough to put a big grin on my face.

Are there really many worthwhile vampire anime?

Besides the Hellsings, I liked Trinity Blood.

So there's a PV for the second Golden Time OP out now. At first I was like "meh" because it's a terrible song, but then I figured I should probably watch it anyway because it's Yui Horie and I kinda have to. I hadn't heard the song past the part used in the Golden Time OP before, and...

Goddamnit, it's actually a really good song after the part used in the OP. Like, the entire second half of the song is actually good. Now if only they'd used that part in the GT OP and not the awful first part.

With this show's tinge of realisim it basically proves that with just a lil martial arts training, a nice, functional uniform, and even some tools that can be made legally, its quite easy to become batman, atleast in japan where most people arent able to shoot you.

 

[cnet128]

And Fujipi (what was his original fucking name, I don't like calling him by his nickname, the fuck face)

This dude is like... the absolute worst "romance interest" in Precure. You know how movies just add "Girl That he likes because"? That's Fujipi in a nutshell, except he's a boy. That's all his personality is, "Guy Nagisa likes." His crowning moment of Fuck Off would be in the late 40s where Nagisa shouts at the top of her lungs about her feelings, and all he said was "Huh, what did she say?" Fucking air head. It doesn't help that you gained MORE screentime in fucking Max Heart, which mean MORE Nagisa screentime(because apparently she didn't have enough in the original). Meanwhile Honoka gets like... 3 episodes. That's less than A SIDE CHARACTER got. Motherfucker!

Eh, I don't see anything wrong with having a romantic interest for the sake of being a romantic interest. He seems like a nice guy, and he has his own stuff going on (mainly football...) it's just not particularly relevant to Nagisa's story most of the time. This seems fairly accurate to how crushes work in real life.

As for the "Huh, what did she say?" moment, assuming you're talking about Max Heart episode 42, I don't think you can really blame Fuji-P for that one. That was entirely Nagisa's fault for not having the guts to actually say anything to his face but instead shouting it to the world from a safe distance where she couldn't reasonably expect him to hear her.

Spoiler

also honoka is sidekick and nagisa deserves all the screentime

At any rate, you posted a picture of Nagisa being adorable and that is what matters =D

People in the plural don't. DTL does. I dunno that I've seen anybody else here express enjoyment of Q-Vier.

I thought Q-Vier was fine, since he was, you know, a villain. His antics were entertaining from a holy-fuck-what-a-godawful-psychotic-brat perspective. I don't think we were supposed to actually like him.

Spoiler

His death was satisfying.

Samurai Flamenco Episode 1-2
Interesting concept of a show and I like where its going, im thinking lead singer is Goto's girlfriend, and Hazama going through so much trouble for so little is really endearing.

Ohhhhhh boy I always love seeing people start this show.

Spoiler

Ooooooooooooh. Well that I have really not much argument for besides him not seeming like the cheating type. And he let the girlfriend know via the phone and she trusted him. He even said "she knows I'd never cheat on her".

And you believed him?

Eh, with a lot of characters I'd say this is a reasonable reaction, but not with Gotou. He's far too decent and upstanding a guy to do such a thing. I'd be severely shocked and disappointed in him if he had actually been cheating.

ehehehehehehehehehehehe

lol I read the dance of the vampire bund like a year ago out of pure curiosity, the original draw was probably the loli but the main climaxes is when she goes into her true form which is a grown ass literally naked 100% of the time woman. It's kinda funny.

Aaaaaand there goes my interest in watching this =/ Seriously, why does every loli vampire in everything ever have to do that. Evangeline A K McDowell? Check. Oshino Shinobu? Check. None of them can just stick to their superior form.

I will take the avatar bet that we never see Goto's girlfriend.

I'm not actually going to take this bet because I value my avatar too much to put it on the line even a little, but this seems like an incredibly long shot. I'd sooner put my money on us seeing her in the very next episode.

Honoka knew what she said, then again, Honoka is the only one who really gives a shit about her.

He's just not interesting at all, everyone after that is clearly more interesting than "Guy Nagisa Likes", who amounts to zero progress, wasting everyones time.

I mean, I can't really give him "he's a nice dude", when there's other nice dudes who aren't "Guy X likes".

Hellsing Ultimate, Vampire Princess (or was it Kyuuketsuhime?) Miyu, Blood-C, and Shiki are, to my knowledge, varying degrees of enjoyable.

madp personal note: I still like the actual Hellsing TV series, even if no one else does.

Miyu is a great example of the wrongheadedness of MAL's title policy. More concerned with being Japanese than concerned with knowing Japanese.

Anyway, I cosign your whole post, even the Hellsing TV bit.

Miyu is worth watching? Maybe I should add that to the backlog.

Bear in mind that Miyu OVA and Miyu TV are two different things. Both have a thoroughly Japanese take on vampires, but the OVA is more moody horror while the TV show is magical girl turned pitch black. The latter is more worth your time.

The individual episodes are all worth it for moments like this, when the cast can all gather in one place and do their thing, naturally bouncing off each other.
