Yami Shibai got worse with each season and now it finally got so much worse that they even renamed it. That's my take on the ILCA shorts. |

| Not sure what's Chiba's grand plan is but I highly doubt it'll ever work. She could be an interesting character in the middle of all this but she's way too bitchy and selfcentered to earn enough sympathy. At this point she's kinda just a device for drama. Which the shows doesn't really need, not that I'm totally against her existence if she starts contributing in some positive ways. |

Ckan said: it was a fine season with some highs, it really only gets a 7 cause its getting screwed by being only 1 single arc that barely even took itself seriously until like 9 episodes in. Its just the comedy wasnt as on point as usual.mfw even Jizzy gave Gintama. a 7/10 |

The show itself is just okay though, unfortunately. On another note I recently got a friend of mine into IBO and she's enjoying it a lot although it hits home a bit too much because the political situation in her country (Venezuela) is kinda similar to the Dolt protests which is the part she's currently at. And she hasn't even reached the really suffering parts of season 1 so I'm worried about her. But I'm definitely trying my best to spread the glory of IBO and so far with success :> |

I mean overall ibo does alot of things that are pretty risky and to varying effects depending on the person, mikazuki as the protagonist was probably the biggest because he was emotionally muted due to his upbringing and generally is a character reliant on the orders of others. I've seen as much praise as ive seen people call him boring. I'd argue with a different mc the finale wouldnt of worked anywhere near as much and I guess that is reflected a bit in how much his popularity skyrocketed in the final stretch of weeks of the show. |

The ending and its overall effect on how the rest of the show thematically is perceived gives ibo a purpose for existing and a legit meaning behind it. I am mainly making this comparison just cause they are both recent but its the opposite of gundam thunderbolt, its an excellent produced and directed show but once the fun is over and I look back on it I for the life of me cannot figure out what the point of the show even was, i see some vague idea of showing the difference between mental and physical trauma and the effect it has on the solider but its lost in a sea of torture porn and style over substance. I think in many ways had ibo not had the ending it did it'd of gone the same route as thunderbolt |

I think in many ways had ibo not had the ending it did it'd of gone the same route as thunderbolt I pretty much agree on everything you said about IBO although I also very much appreciate Gundam Thunderbolt for its more style over substance approach because it's at least as good at what it is trying to do as IBO is, they just have different ambitions and I don't particularly value 'meaning' over 'aesthetics' in general. And I don't think Thunderbolt was all style no substance either, it definitely had emotional impact as well although conceptually it didn't come close to IBO's impact and complexity. To me it was just a short, specific glimpse into the horrors of war in general. Nothing too fancy, but the intensity and production values and technical prowess of the OVA still made it a strong, if unspecific statement about the brutality of war and its effect on the individual, more on an emotional than an intellectual level tho. So I'd say because it didn't try to convey any particular message beyond that the style over substance thing worked in its favor and actually complemented it well. I wouldn't call that lacking purpose, just lacking complexity. Which isn't a bad thing especially considering how short Thunderbolt is. So if IBO did have another ending it wouldn't have gone down the same route as Thunderbolt because all the aspects that made Thunderbolt so great in my eyes were more or less mediocre or at least not half as awesome in IBO which had a more specific purpose. So while I consider Thunderbolt amazing in its own right, IBO would have ended up just mediocre if it had gone down the same route after all the previous build-up in a different direction. In general I think the kind of show that Thunderbolt is doesn't work with the amount of episodes of IBO and vice versa so that's kinda where the comparison falls apart although I understand why you brought it up. I just don't entirely agree with our stance on Thunderbolt as I understand it. |

| Wandering Son is so mature and relaxed about its subject matter that it actually makes me a bit emotional thinking about Nitori's story. I just want to pat him in the back and see him succeed in find the right place for him in the world. This one is making me feel that way even more than this season's Tsuki ga Kirei and the 2 MCs getting together. Now if only Chiba actually contributed to the story. ;_; And this ED is just perfect. |

Be prepared for some serious hand-holding in the first few hours and some story sections so long the only interaction you'll have as a player is pressing X to go to bed for days on end. But other than that its a smooth ride all throughout. A protagonist with the charisma of Lelouch, a group with camaraderie on par with the Straw Hats, conspiracies, keikakus, Waifus, NEETs, friendships with literal demons, Christmas Cake Meidos, and by the time all is said and done you'll know how to make a great cup of coffee. Truly worth the wait. |

| Speaking of OPs from this season, anyone disappointed by Virgin Soul's OP? the first season had a pretty damn good one but this one I'm not a fan of, the visuals are quite good but the song is just meh with no punch. The ED though is real cute with Nina just doing Nina things. |

I'm STILL holding on waiting to play this and been trying to avoid any spoilers, been looking forward to play it for years now but reason I haven't played it yet is because I'm saving up for a PS4, think it's about time I actually buy one now, seems like it's got a decent amount of games I actually want to play on it that's not just P5 like Nioh, Nier: Automata, Horizon, Tales of Berseria (since my PC is shit) etc and those are just from this year. |

The JP cast is pretty star-studded but the dub is surprisingly really great despite being almost entirely full of Literally Who's. I've also heard the quality of the Japanese audio is noticeably worse than the English but I haven't tried it out personally. If you can get used to SUKAHMUHTOE you'll be fine |

JizzyHitler said: chiba was kind of a shit, anna better girl. Paulo27 said: Garbage. T_TNot sure what's Chiba's grand plan is but I highly doubt it'll ever work. She could be an interesting character in the middle of all this but she's way too bitchy and selfcentered to earn enough sympathy. At this point she's kinda just a device for drama. Which the shows doesn't really need, not that I'm totally against her existence if she starts contributing in some positive ways. Chiba's a total bitch to the extent of almost being the only unrealistic character because of how mature she is, but she's by far one of the most developed and interesting characters because of how her deeply entrenched insecurities fester and manifest themselves in her obsessiveness with Nitori's appearance. Saori's presence turns the show from just being all around comfy and really good to something that's undeniably excellent, because she provides us with a character who is both a mirror for how society can often fetishize the portrayal of those with confused gender identities (and thus lashes out confusedly and aggressively) as well as an unabashedly unapologetic character who contrasts with the show's largely affirming and optimistic cast, which I think is one of a few elements needed to center the show around something that isn't just overtly "muh friendship overcomes all implicit social obstacles to gender acceptance." |

| After having watched it for awhile, I think I get why @silverwalls likes Fresh Precure! the most of the various Precures she's seen now. The show is playing out a lot like a lighter, less dramatic, and more relaxing Sailor Moon. There's a lot emphasis put on group bonding, fleshing out of personalities, and the comedy/slice of life aspects, and the show only does the bare minimum to ensure you keep in the back of your mind that Labyrinth is a big threat that needs to be dealt with. On the rare occasions that drama does come, that drama is very well done, but in Fresh Precure! it seems like the drama mainly serves to punctuate the goodfeel day-to-day character bonding and monster-busting, whereas in Sailor Moon said goodfeel aspects served more to give you time to catch your breath in its much more hostile and tragic setting. In that sense Fresh is really very different from both Heartcatch Precure! and Go! Princess Precure once you look past the superficial aspects. Heartcatch Precure! in particular was very plot-dense and loved to sock you in the gut with this convincing and ever-present reality that the girls can and do lose at times and if they don't get their crap together quick enough the whole world is going to wither up and die. Go! Princess was considerably less intense in that regard, being a more traditional fairy taleish "save the kingdom" story plotwise, but still was very insistent on making sure the antagonists were always relevant and heavily connected to the more character-driven aspects of the show. In Fresh Precure! though, the antagonists as a group seem to almost be an afterthought present merely to set up the context within which to give us this much more character-driven slice-of-lifey story (rather than simply going full-blown SOL like Cardcaptor Sakura). In short, Fresh Precure! is what happens when you take Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, and certain Precure's more physical slant to action and throw them all together in a blender. The result thus far is very nice and easy to watch, but not as directly impressive as most of the other works I've compared it to. It's kind of like how Erina explained the difference between diner food and haute food to Souma in Shokugeki no Souma, for those who are familiar with that reference. Worded differently, Fresh Precure! is probably the closest I've come to watching a mahou shoujo that is what I thought most mahou shoujos would be like: the key difference being that I thought most mahou shoujos would be boring. :3 |
