I'd consider myself a proud peddler of Ikuhara pills to unsuspecting innocents and I have to admit that even I found the first episode or two of Yuri Kuma Arashi just a tad bit inscrutable.

Jexhius and others I've seen on twitter carry a suspicion that the early episodes suffer from the show possibly being written as two cour but being compressed into a single cour once it went into production. I don't know if it was ever followed up on and an answer was found one way or the other though.

 

[Crash Station]

Was the arbiter not just lying?

Spoiler

When his soul "came back", they had essentially reached the Void anyways. It kinda seemed like he just tricked her.

I also wouldn't really say there's no consistency to the judging. Decim screws up sometimes because he couldn't discern the intricacies of human emotion (until recently), but the other arbiter seems like he'll take any reason to throw someone into the Void because he hates humans. It probably revolves a lot around an arbiter's subjectivity (even though it's not supposed to), which is part of the impetus for the revolution.

So basically, calling the system fucked is a massive understatement.

Death Parade 11

And now the ED makes perfect sense.

Light Yagami doesn't look too bummed about being dead. Dude's probably thinking of a way to screw over this realm's shinigami.

There's like no consistency in the judgement made over where someone is sent.

Spoiler

There's absolutely no reason Harada would be sent to the void based on everything we've seen, nor was there any indication souls could be brought back from the void. Way to introduce something super important in the second to last episode.

Yeah this last bit hampered my enjoyment of the episode.

Spoiler

I didn't like that they were both sent to the void, neither really deserved to.

I don't want to seem negative but some of the shots of OnePunch Man anime is worrying me.

So rather than being set in a world that's naturally like this, it has a slight Sengoku Otome angle with our heroine warping into an AU where she turns into a catgirl and joins a band.

I can work with this.

So I've gotten to episode 9 of Saekano now and it's been pretty funny so far. Any recommendations for similar Anime. I don't have premium Crunchy, so now I have to wait on Log Horizon and Saekano, uggh.

I'm going to start Accel World next week, but another funny one like Saekano would be great.

GATCHAMAN CROWDS insight coming this July, that's fast
Hope TV episode 12 won't happen again lol

http://animeanime.jp/article/2015/03/21/22426.html

Was that the finale episode? I must have been the only one who didn't really have a problem with it as it aired. lol

On one, more obvious level, the show is clearly interested in saying something about the perception of homosexuality in Japan, with the bears serving as a metaphor for the alternately cute (yuri) and threatening (real lyfe) ways in which culture views them depending on circumstance, while the Judgemens (THE MENS) are tasked with judging lesbianism on whether it is suitably sexy and cool. This is why there's a stock yandere and a pervy opening and copious references to lilies, an otherwise unremarkable flower, but there's obviously gonna have to be some elaboration and expansion on this point over the course of twelve episodes. I will give it time to, ah, bloom as I sit over here trying to figure out what bullets and birds and spiral stairs (!!) are supposed to mean.

Having just watched the Glee finale and being reminded of how you can write gay characters and gay parables badly, I'm still not sure I find Yuri Kuma Arashi all that better in terms of addressing queer subjectivity. It all just feels as trite as Sakura Trick, which I hope is not what Ikuhara et al were going for.

The story begins with Yggdrasil, a popular online game which is quietly shut down on its last day. Our protagonist Momonga decided to stay until the last moment in his beloved game and wait for the force logout. Unexpectedly, the server did not shut down and Momonga is stuck in his skeleton body and got transferred to another world. "The powerful Overlord" now needs to discover a new world and face continuous challenges.

Having no parents, friends, or place in society, this ordinary man strives to take over the new world the game has become.

Utterly fascinating.

Damn the Chiaki's sequence was masterful.. its so smooth directing wise, her motivation didn't make any sense though.. between this eps and eps 9, this show surely put most memorable episode beside Shirobako for this season.
