Though too bad I can't watch the rest of the show until next weekend.
Bummer. You still have a couple of my favourite episodes of the series to go, including the production debut of the studio Trigger, and also the episode which restores Yamakans faith in anime (according to his own Twitter account, at least...)
But going by your screencap, it's not pretending hard work is end to it all or sole reason she got where she is.
I''ll shut up now until I watch it* myself.
Right, thanks.

She talked about him and his sister as if she knew stuff about him and his family situation the episode after they saw Rei and his sister arguing outside. She knew, lol.
Chaika ep.9
Nice Taru backstory and nice fireworks.. this was set up for the next bony part, lol.

Gintama - 177-178
Back to Yoshiwara and back into some heavy arc! And unfortunately the second episode already offers never-ending barrages of self-indulgent dialogue.
What's worse, Tsukuyo, whose back-story was properly established and explored in the previous Yoshiwara arc, had apparently am additional, very important person in her life. To me clearly a retcon as it changes the importance and Tsukuyo's agency of scarring her own face for instance.
At this point lots of backstory and flashbacks feel like a big storytelling crutch for Gintama to fall back on to tell the serious stories and drama. When there's a new scenario and new characters that's tolerable, here though it ain't.
Thematically this seems rather weak, too. Tsukuyo's womanhood and potentially romantic interest (in Gin) is suddenly a central element even though the latter comes pretty much out of nowhere? Can't recall there being any of that in the last arc. I mean, I guess she might have fallen for him due to his heroic attributes and all but a) that would've been lousy and b) simply wasn't shown. Well, once this spider antagonist got introduced it became clear that it's now important because he's got some dumb obsession with 'creating' Tsukuyo and controlling aspects like her womanhood and so on. That guy is all-around lame, and honestly, so are most of the other try-hard badass villains in Gintama.
The worst is, just as all those others, he'll likely get semi-redeemed with his own massive sets of flashbacks and sob-stories, and no mind will be payed to all the many innocent people's life he took. Happened with Itou Kamotaro and Housen after all.
Just like the last time in Yoshiwara they've also upped the violence. Ends up feeling somewhat silly though when there's never consequences.

Heh. I thought you were always following Tsukuyo with a keen eye. You'd know better if you saw the slaughter Gin withstood against the King of the Night.

Man, I could not disagree with you more about these serious arcs.
I really like your Dark Tournament analysis posts. Makes me want to write about the influence of Stardust Crusaders on the Sensui arc, but I'm too lazy to go back and rewatch all those episodes.

Oh nice we got to hear KENN reading in ENGLISH. It was amazing.
Good episode for twins R and L. I need more radio broadcasts.

Fantastic Children ep.1
Can't say much about this one just yet since they are doing character introductions and I have no idea what is going on. The world appears pretty interesting though..
Tantei Kageki Milky Holmes TD 12 FIN
I'll check out Alternative and the movie later this week to wrap things up.
Surprisingly enjoyable, especially after people had led me to believe it was actually pretty bad. Three different approaches across four different seasons, each succeeding and failing in their own way, has left me realizing this is a rather flexible property in the right hands. I see what NeonZ meant about the ending of this being an appropriate sort of sendoff between Milky Holmes being tested properly by Arsene and the concert at the end.

SUPER LOVERS 2 Episode 7 Sweet Peach
Aki and Shima continuing to offer the bestlines at all these moments. But then I wonder if they will start to since Natsuo is even getting caught up in Ren's desire.

Well, I'm glad some of that side drama was spared from Sachiko and the shop owner, but it looks like Hachi has to get back on track soon. Also, looks like the gangs all here, well, outside of the 1 missing element.

Oh Rin, just be honest it your feelings and stop trying to and acting like you want to kill him already. I really like the action scenes and just how beautiful the show is though, lol.

First time in the anime thread here on GAF.
I've been watching Dragon Ball Super, Naruto Shippuden and One Piece - all caught up. Excited for the upcoming Boruto anime.
Started on Mobile Suit Gundam (a.k.a. Gundam 0079) - yep the original Gundam from 1979.
On episode 21 already :3

Samurai Jack S5 e1
This was badass and all, but this is essentially Legend of Jack: Breath of the Wild. Former hero with iconic tunic and sword is now in the future with new armor and using weaponry he finds on the battlefield.

The older I get the more I like the original MSG. At least half of it is nostalgia of that era of animation.
Calamity Aku.
Also Link nearly had a motorcycle!

In which Naoto learns the difficulties that come along with maintaining a secret identity.
I appreciated that, even though this was a cooldown episode with minimal production resources overall, there were still a few neat action animation cuts.

hi there.
in other thoughts it's really fun watching all the stuff in the dbz kai buu arc that happens before the actual buu arc.

The biggest difference is that the English dub of samurai jack wasn't done by random people they found off the street and they made read the script in one take.
Zelda's VA really bummed me out when I first heard the clips but after playing the and getting all the memories I really dig it.
Funnily enough considering it was in the same post I used to think the same way for the english dub of Mobile Suit Gundam, which I now really like.

Traveller Yami, Hat and Book 1
Me a week ago:
Me today:
Fuck you, past me. Promising to watch this shit and now having to see it through.
"The long rain had stopped at some point during the night, but the rain in my heart kept falling."
"I've always heard her voice through the ears of my heart."
Fuck you show. Is that seriously the best you can come up with? These are real fucking lines from this goddamn show. This makes School Days main character sound like goddamn Shakespeare.
Uuuuuuuuuuuugh. Twelve more episodes of this shit. Watching this episode felt like it took forever. Jesus Christ.
At least it wasn't all bad... Oh wait yes it was. It turned a perfectly good concept like espionage and have it go down the shitter. It just felt like a small blessing to get away from the main characters that this small sidetrack made me forget what I was watching: pure bullshit. Just because it wasn't as bad as the first ten minutes doesn't mean the second half wasn't bad. And the ending of the episode just retroactively made the second half of the episode just the cherry on top of this shit pie.
Fuck this show man.
Stay tuned for next week as I try to escape from this insanity.

Well, you knew it was yuri siscon ahead of time, but yeah, keep it comin'! Just think of the XP you're gaining from this!
You can do it!
I don't think it's rushed, it's just that the writers have no idea of what to do with Lunarre and Simone (to be fair, both are pretty shit characters in the game as well) and well, the result is hilarious.

Lol, I'm still trying to finish up Tales of Berseria, then Nier, then Mass Effect, then Persona 5.... It never ends.
Anyhow, feel free to hang out and discuss anything anime anytime. Also feel free to ask for recs if your looking for other shows to watch, etc.
I assume you haven't watched it if you think that's the major issue. Yamibou is something special.

1) I did not know about that second part.
2) The show has so many more issues than just that.
Little Witch Academia 10
I have no idea how Akko and Sucy didn't get kicked out of Luna Nova after that stunt. Witches are already in a precarious position, and now they're pissing off big shot politicians. Diana getting stung was funny at least. And Lotte got out with something to show for it.
