The Idolm@ster Episode 14
I found out the dark secret of Idolm@ster's first opening just in time for it to be shooed out, it'd seem. I'm not sure I like it better than the first, music-wise, but it's definitely not bad. Something that I can definitely sit through, at the very least.
Anyways, it looks like this show has finally begun in earnest - with the concert over and done with, all of the idols have found success in their own ways. Expected ways, really. For instance, Yayoi is hosting some... uh, educational cooking show, I guess. And in general, their popularity has grown to the point where they need to conceal their identity when they're out in public. In short, they've come a long way since a concert in some rural town-center. This is a pretty classic underdog tale, really.
...and, of course, every classic underdog tale needs the mean spirited rivals keeping our hero(ines) down. I'm really not altogether sure how I feel about this development. While it's true that I've asked myself where the actual conflict was after more than a few episodes, one has to wonder if a Literal Eighties Cartoon Villain was the answer. Nine out of ten times you ask this question, it's usually a flat no. It doesn't help that the episode itself felt pretty hamstrung introducingDr. Claw President Kuroi and Jupiter. The more time the episode spent building them up, the less I was enjoying it. The show has enough trouble as it is with balancing characters, adding more and having your existing cast spend at least half of it going in circles over it is not a good step to take.
I dunno, these are pretty premature judgments, in all honesty. Hopefully they go somewhere interesting withHoggish Greedly Kuroi and Jupiter's dynamic within the show. And hopefully it isn't dragged down by what I can only imagine are their inevitable attempts to 'ruin' the idols. It wouldn't be the first time this show has surprised me.
961 is a pretty clever name, though, I'll give them that.

The one big problem with Smile was that it gave the protagonists the ultimate stock footage way too early in the season. :/ I mean, beyond relying on stock footage, obviously.

This was a surprisingly poor episode, as, though somewhat predictable, it noticeably failed to logically transition from the rather meaningful narrative inferences that were filtered into the last several episodes to the subsequent developments that were found in this one, instead illuminating a disappointing reversion within numerous aspects of the established narrative, as though the conclusion of the first arc was merely an intentional attempt to portray a misdirection from the true nature of the narratives progression. As such, I felt that several of the dramatic complications, aside from the immensely tedious manner with which they were introduced, were illustrated, rather than suitably complex, as a concoction of startlingly rudimentary contrivances. This, of course, wasnt at all beneficial to the effectiveness of this episode or the foreshadowed progression of the story, as it appears to indicate the possibility that truly meaningful developments will be withheld until the conclusion of the show approaches, which, though rather expected for this particular genre and the romantic elements within, is certainly an approach to storytelling that far too heavily adheres towards the conventional constraints of a quasi-triangular romance.
Soratas slightly romantic dream was a nice touch, as it illustrates that
. However, one of the most disappointing elements within this episode is the stagnancy of
. Aside from Soratas dream towards the beginning of the episode, their previously natural progression has been partially reverted, as Sorata is
; to the point where he directly
, which, in itself, would be a suitably complex reaction, but, rather than these subtly felt fears remaining subdued, hes actively attempting to
, which is considerably selfish. At the very least, it was a slightly more nuanced complication in their relationship, so I hope it doesnt continue to be filtered into the narrative in a similar fashion to many of the excessively overwrought dramatics that have been increasingly strewn into several of the previous episodes.
The most compelling insight within this episode, by far, was the subtle development of Mashiros emotions, as shes gradually displaying a softly-spoken maturation and a particularly satisfying desire for a heightened self-sufficiency, most effectively illustrated by her determined attempts to
. This methodical evolution was also alluded to by the thoroughly noticeable contrast in her voices intonation between the early portions of this episode and the latter half. Im hoping that Ryuunosuke and Rita are provided with a slightly more significant focus as the story progresses, since their typically comedic interludes have definitely become the highlight of each episode.
Sorata was quite unlikable throughout this episode, as hes childishly
, which, of course, was highly inconsiderate. I did, however, love Mashiros closing words, in which she
. This moment, once again, illuminated a particularly interesting development of her emotions. As such, though I am usually intrigued by Soratas flawed characterization, his thoughtless tendencies were far too prevalent, as his compulsory response to
, which, in turn, induced a sense of pointless tedium within his characterization, as though it was solely illustrated in order to heighten the dramatic nature of the story. This is indicative of rather weak execution within the narrative, and Im hoping, though it appears somewhat unlikely, that this intermittent flaw will disappear altogether as the story proceeds, since its a tiresome contrivance that only serves to temporarily cripple the effectiveness of the show.
Sorata and Aoyamas
wasnt effective at all, since, as usual, it was incredibly one-sided, and, above all, it illustrates a certain naivety and nearly deliberate obliviousness from
. Of course, Aoyamas involvement is highly unnecessary altogether, due especially to the
between Sorata and Mashiro, but it appears increasingly possible that this exceedingly predictable dynamic will vaguely linger until the conclusion of the story arrives, unfortunately. As such, due to Aoyamas seeming awareness of
, her hopeful attempts to essentially
were quite desperate, illuminating, yet again, a potentially intentional attempt to constantly delude herself into some tenuous dismissal of the thoroughly obvious, as it should have been perfectly clear that
.
Though I typically find Jin and Misakis relationship to be one of the most intriguing aspects of the narrative, their complicated emotions are becoming increasingly tedious and unnecessarily perplexing, particularly Jins altruism. I also dont really understand what Jin is hoping to accomplish in thoughtlessly providing
, as it only appears to be an intentional sort of motivation for

The humor, for whatever reason, has been greatly diminished in favor of repetitive and largely unconvincing dramatics, which, as expected, doesnt exactly complement the typically enjoyable nature of the show. For example,
, though slightly realistic given the context, is a development that only isolates Sorata as a character that hasnt significantly grown throughout the entire show, despite several elements of maturation that were filtered into his characterization during the latter half of the previous arc.
The stale direction was one of the weaker aspects within the episode, as, for the most part, it failed to properly convey the appropriate emotions during several sequences, save for
. As such, throughout much of the episode, the interactions were poorly framed and visually uninspired. The new OP was quite enjoyable and visually interesting, as well as a slight improvement over the last, especially since it essentially solidifies the foreshadowed perception of
. The ED, on the other hand, though decent, wasnt nearly as impressive as the first.
All in all, Sakurasou disappointingly followed one of its best episodes with what was easily one of its worst. The narrative, hopefully temporarily, has deteriorated in a rather disappointing and significant fashion, due largely to the contrived and wholly unnecessary adherence towards the conventional dynamics that were present at the beginning of the story, displaying a noticeable flaw in narrative execution, wherein a plethora of narrative stagnancies and absurd complications are repetitiously filtered into the story following nearly every single meaningful development within the various relationships, particularly

Sorata and Aoyamas
moment towards the end
Aoyama thats becoming needlessly repetitive and quite intrusive

he wasnt viewing their momentary rendezvous as anything but a friendly obligation

Aoyama to invite Sorata on a date
subtly flourishing romance between Sorata and Mashiro

Something odd definitely went down in production as group finishers are usually introduced in the final third of the season instead of the halfway point, not to mention they generally don't receive revisions for no discernible reason. I think that they were just desperate to tie that shitty Royal Clock into the battles in as many ways as they possibly could.

Whenever I catch up with the shows airing this season, Ill be starting Neon Genesis Evangelion and Honey & Clover.
As much as I loved early Genshiken, Nidaime isnt really that similar in quality, since its supporting characters are much less complex and engaging than the wonderful cast that was far more involved prior to Nidaime. Still, more Genshiken is rather welcome news.
I've been exceedingly busy, so i decided to completely refrain from watching anime, since it would have potentially distracted me. Im hopelessly behind on nearly everything now though.
Truly disturbed individuals. Minori was easily the worst character in Toradora.
Haru > Natsume > Shizuku > Sasayan > You > rooster > Oshima > Shizukus brother > Yamaken
Thats an understatement.
Unfortunately, this is becoming increasingly clear. The drama was easily at its best and most natural during the fantastic fourth episode. Many of the subsequent dramatics have been so damn contrived and tedious.
Richters rendition of Four Seasons really is incredible.
Thanks

Though it wasnt quite as terrific as the last, this was a really good episode, as it illustrated several essential and highly interesting complexities within Midoris development, while also touching on an abundance of separate character dynamics in a very effective manner. This episode, in particular, was excellently balanced throughout, as it never excessively lingered on a particular development or interaction, while it also, once again, allowed the supporting characters to provide the most effective and consistent perspective. Deras
concluded the episode on a suitably poignant and astute note.
Midoris characterization throughout this episode was suffused with a plethora of intriguing nuances that strongly allude to the possibility that she does, in fact,

into a relative certainty. Though her personality doesnt necessarily lend itself to an immensely engaging focus, her development was implemented into this episode extremely well, never appearing as unnecessary tedium.

The characters, though quite interesting and enjoyable, remain one of the slightly weaker elements, due largely to their lack of properly established characterization. Of course, I dont yet consider this to be a flaw, since this aspect of the narrative still possesses immense potential, as partially illustrated by the compelling focus on Midori and her individualistic inclinations throughout this episode. As such, it appears nearly inevitable that many of the characters, in time, will receive, at the very least, a heightened insight, which would partially benefit the rather simplistic nature of the story.
Following this episode, though I quite like Midori, Kanna has quickly become of the most enjoyable characters in the show, and, as such, Im hoping that shell be properly developed along with the others, rather than remaining a somewhat ancillary figure within the story. Her personality, similar to Deras, allows for the most consistent humor. However, it seems unlikely that shell ever be portrayed within the story as anything more than a purely comedic entity, which is still quite satisfying, but I would definitely prefer her to be considerably more prevalent. The character interactions remain thoroughly engaging, as they often elevate mere simplicity into something exceedingly interesting, most notably displayed by the numerous complexities that were comprehensively conveyed by the smallest expressions within the various filming sequences. This aspect of the show is definitely one of its most impressive, as it consistently excels at illuminating a rather suitable naturalism. Of course, Deras presence really heightens the effectiveness of the interactions, since hes typically involved in the best moments.
The subdued direction continues to be very effective, as it consistently complements the nature of the show. As such, this deft handling of the material has greatly illuminated the beauty of several sequences, such as the wonderfully stylistic scene in which
. This nearly inconsequential moment was infused with a seemingly heightened significance, due mostly to the particularly expressionistic framing throughout. Some of the most atmospheric moments throughout this episode and the last are those that involve Tamako traversing through the market, as they illuminate the distinct liveliness that inherently permeates through this relatively unique setting. The particularly similar sequence that appeared towards the beginning of this episode greatly assisted in further establishing the energetic and diverse nature of Tamakos world.
Visually, this episode, though not quite as impressive as the first, was crafted with an exceptional attention to complementary detail. As such, the meticulous artistry within the backgrounds really accentuated a wonderfully vibrant atmosphere. Musically, this episode was great, particularly the whimsical selection that directly followed the title card, as this accompanying flourish excellently established the distinctly lighthearted and slightly romantic tone that would permeate throughout the rest of the episode. I also loved the selection that accompanied the momentary glimpse of the shopping district commercial, which was really well-directed.
All in all, though not as strong as the introductory episode, Tamako Market skillfully impressed with an episode that continues to illustrate a superb execution, particularly in its ability to illustrate the complexities within the settings relation to the characters. The approach to storytelling, especially within each isolated episode, has been considerably strong. Though it hasnt yet proved detrimental, I do, however, hope that some sort of consistent narrative will materialize soon, since an absence of one could eventually detract from the effectiveness of the show.

I did drop the show back on ep2, but watched this one due to . . . hype, a certain sort of hype. It was super interesting.
The show still looks pretty good, and with the lack of Alone-related activities there's no CG either. My first impression was that this is really, really fucking dumb, but there's a method to it all, and by the end--with the boobs and the hand-drawn robots and all--I was enjoying it for more than just the super interesting qualities.
I just wish the show wasn't saddled with Takamura's pathological hatred of pants.

Wow... just fucking wow. This episode was so weird and off the wall, I don't know how many drugs I was supposed to be on. This is some serious LSD floor-melting "what" kind of shit going on.
At least this time, our maiden is somewhat pleasing to look at.
So anyways, Johnny Knoxville walks into a bar...
The most exciting bar in the world
Hey, I see you have zero patrons, uh, whacha reading? Johnny appears to order a whiskey or beer... or both, and then decides to order nothing and to just take a piss instead.
WOW, WHO KNEW!? This cruddy little hotel bar is home to a magical shitter!?
He peers into the toilet water and is transported to a new world - some nebulous, formless and gaseous psychedelic wonderland... deep inside the toilet...
Inside he is welcomed to the party of his life where school girls dance around him and show their knickers. For some reason Lum is there. Whatever man I'm fuckin trippin on acid!
A hostess greets him, and asks his sexual preference between a voluptuous blond secret agent (like one of the girls from Dirty Pair), or a toddler in a Donald Duck diaper (don't worry, I won't post anything). He sorta hesitates, and then out of nowhere our lovely heroine Miu appears!! Thank god...
Johnny powers up (to do, uh, nothing really), while Miu guides him into the holodeck?? Miu tries to appear attractive against a dirty Brooklyn street corner, but instead of having sex in filth, the two reenact a series of classic movie parodies that include Star Wars and Jaws... among other things.
They switch seamlessly from one setting to the next as if being guided along through a set of dreams. Johnny catches up with Miu (who he has been chasing through each scene), and he is finally able to caresses her albino nipples softly between his thumb and index finger as though he were carefully cracking a safe.
In the end, their bodies ascend into space, and Johnny fucks Miu into outerspace (nsfw), while this song is played in the background. Please click on both at the same time for the full effect.
Meanwhile I can only assume that Johnny is either passed out in the bathroom stall, or half dead in a dumpster outside.

Great ending too.
