jesus the weather here has been so fucking random these past few weeks. two weeks ago it was sunny amazing spring weather, pretty warm but nothing unusual, like 20°C.

Last week we literally had a 2,5 day blizzard ravaging the city/country. An actual blizzard. We didn't have that much snow at any point during the 'real' winter months.

A few days after that it we got the hottest days of the year which lasted until yesterday when I was still able to chill outside in a Tshirt at summer temperatures and even sweat a bit while doing nothing.

Today the temperatures dropped 20 degrees to like 4°C again.

I fucking hate this -.-

We're going to have snow in May here. Thx climate change.

Tell me about it, just the other day in the morning before work just a random snow storm appeared.

Yeah I went for the german version since they started publishing when there wasn't even an english version yet. Opus is also in german, as are all my Taniguchi Manga. It's gonna be a bit weird since all my other asano manga are in english but generally the german translations are high quality so I'm not worried too much.

Mamster is the only person on my ignore list since I'll probably never get in discussions with him anyway. If Solvite was still around he might be too. I've considered Red_Keys before but never added him.

I think I'm pretty good at handling or ignoring annoying/obnoxious behavior on my own, which is probably why my ignore list is small.

I found Vestemona more annoying tbh. But what mainly bothered me was that while the final episodes clearly showed the the show was trying to be about the crew and their bonding/growth and the pirate lifestyle more than anything, the show still shoehorned in a main plot that ended up basically irrelevant and just ate up a lot of time with meaningless fights against faceless earth force drones that could have been spent on introducing new, cool characters or focusing more on the existing ones and the worldbuilding. The show would really have been better if it went for a more slice of life/adventure kind of approach without the politics and the weird main plot.

star driver is legit a good show though, its so aware of its absurdity and just rolls really hard with it. Its a relatively low drama action show with god tier animation and really likable goofy characters save for the heroine who can go fuck herself.

Its just a really fun and well produced kids/young teen show that doesnt try to be anything more than it is.

it just seems like mecha wank, absurd and self-aware or not, and mecha action still really bores me. only transformation sequences bore me more and it also has those. and it's 2-cour. I don't think I can handle that. I've seen quite a lot of sakuga from the show and they're awesome but I think I'm fine with just the sakuga compilations.

I mean you should honestly still give it a shot, theres not even THAT much mecha fights all things considered since fights are usually like 1 minute to 2 minute long with overhwleming focus put on slice of life. I honestly dont know why youd be more willing to watch far worse bones shows than one like this thats full of heart and is just the staff putting their childhood into a show. One of the only good bones shows from that time period when they went really under in quality after their founder died.

And the only good thing about Captain Earth are probably the mecha battles and the cool transformation sequence, or atleast the first time then you get bored of it though they do shorten it. The story and characters are so bland sadly...

Captain earth was basically missing everything that made star driver charming, its kind of absurd how hard they missed the mark. It was like they were caught in between making a more mature mecha and a goofy kids show not meant to be taken that seriously like star driver but wound up making a tonal mess.

alot of the same staff apparently went on to make concrete revelutio which got back to form but I apparently am in the minority of thinking that show was good, much to my depression. Bones really has never been the same since the founder died, it really saddens me but even with them getting way more back on track recently there does feel like there's less unconventionality than there used to be. I highly doubt we'd ever see another fma 2003, rahXephon, or wolf's rain from them. Even something like concrete that I like I wont deny could of been much better if some things were done differently.

Ill take this as a time to say concrete revolutio was underrated as hell and probably one of the most creative and different anime in recent memory.


then again maybe I'm just insane for being able to follow the plot really easily after episode 1 cause so many people say its complete nonsense and incomprehensible.

I find it's usually just a case of people not paying enough attention or forgetting details. I remember seeing quite a few people say the time travel ep was complex when it was one of the most straightforward eps.

oh yeah thats probably the single most overexplained episode in the series and people somehow didnt follow it. To be fair though that was one of the weakest episodes from my memory which may of played a part.

The only part in the entire show that confused me was episode 8 of season 2, solely cause the start was so conflicting with the previous episode's events showing raiba fighting jirou alongside 2 characters we hadnt seen in a while. The show was rather straightforward otherwise after the first ep. Especially season 2 which was a linear series of events.

I remember alot of people complained about the fights being too short. theres one rather infamous part where 2 character panting after a fight was longer than the actual fight.

Whew, that was a relief. Futari wa really needed that fourth episode.

Futari wa's setup initially seems kind of precarious to be honest. The plot looks like it may end up being even more loose than Fresh, the cast is so small that a lot more effort will have to be put into characterization and character development, there's not a strong sense of mystery/lore/pathos like in Sailor Moon yet, and although the combat aspect is definitely entertaining, I'm not sure if what I've seen of it so far would be enough for me to watch for that alone.

With so little to work with, what holds the story up will then likely have to be strong characterization/development of the protagonists along with a really convincing sense of tension with the antagonists. Episode four provided the latter. The Dark King is really impatient with his generals, so Pissard is already having to stake his life and fight the Precure directly (or in this case, in tandem with his monsters). That sense of urgency will be important in keeping the show fresh, at least as it is now.

Looks like the next episode will start developing some of the character bonding this needs as well.

even if the story winds up being nonsense, tekken has pretty charming/funny characters so it will probably carry it. I mean you got this beautiful man in it as aone of the most important characters so at least they have this.

Well, the heroic mecha and weekly villain/problem/battle is the base structure of the show. It does play around with it a lot (a lot of mecha do), and I think Star Drivers wider appeal (at the time) was due to its enjoyability in its hammy school-(melo)drama side, which predominates for a fair bit of the show.

The fights themselves were notoriously seen as repetitive (the reu-used footage is real), and perhaps some people who disliked that aspect might downplay it with "mah bones animation!" But I think it's a very fun show if you like the quirky teen spirit and outlandish weekly supervillainry.


tl;dr I think I'd be surprised if you gave it over 7, but you did like Samurai Flamenco.. hmm

Touhou 6, 9, and 10 had such lul incidents I don't even

9: Spirits are overflowing around Gensokyo. Turns out Death was just lazy to do her job right.

10: A shrine shows up in the top of a mountain and tries to convert the locales into their religion.

But Touhou had some fairly srs stories before 15. This comment in particular
someguy said:

Touhou 7: Selfish ghost steals spring and almost causes a natural catasrophe, only to satisfy her own curiosity to find out who's buried under her giant flesh eating cherry tree. It turns out to be her own corpse.

#shitwasrealinPCBalready


Now what would a Tanned Cirno contribute to the Touhou lore I am very curious

@DEGOZAURUS I treat transformation sequences kind of like how I do OPs and EDs. Some are good, some are bad, and whether I like it or not determines whether I skip it most of the time.

...Except I hardly ever skip anything of that sort, including OPs and EDs, so it has to be preeeetty boring in my case.

I could see some people not getting into it, although it's pretty hard to not love this imo. It's legit cooler (hotter?) than most of the stuff I've seen with Ace in One Piece.

Good taste. They do tend to be great. :3

Tmw Cinderella becomes yuri shipping central.

This show is way too much fun.

@TripleSRank I liked these ones, even tho after watching it now they go against some of my believes :D Not really a big spoiler:




Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes!

Just finished Mars Daybreak. It was okay but kinda underwhelming.
Now I only have 6 more shows by Studio Bones left and 2 of those I'll probably never watch (Captain Earth and Star Driver) :/.
Don't bother with Captain Earth, it's trash. I heard Star Driver is pretty #fab tho

Holy shit Pullman, how can you not like henshin? They're the best part of everything they're featured in!

Haven't seen Captain Earth, but Star Driver works as a bastard child of Ikuhara and Enokido. Enokido has worked together with Ikuhara on Utena most notably, and he has a big boner for that type of symbolic presentation. Then again, you should watch Utena first, especially since you've seen the first two shows of the ideological trilogy which also consists of RoV and Onii-sama e.

All this talk about transformations reminded me that I need to resume my Sailor Moon rewatch soon.

Only good thing I remember about Captain Earth aside from the animation and Hana's bootiful skin is that one OST used for the docking sequence (starts at 2:12):

Panty & Stocking looks roughly as out there as what little I know about it led me to think.

Thanks for reminding me to watch Flip Flappers, btw.

Rewatch? I didn't realize you had already seen it since you've had the first season listed as watching for ages. 'Figured you caved after the first several episodes since they're kinda tedious.

Did you ever see Sailor Stars? I watched it subbed, but if you watched it years ago I heard that the old dub never adapted that.

This club needs more Sailor Moon love.

actually, only the last 20s are indicative of how the show looks like, the transformation sequences are around once per episode and usually shorter and often different. The show makes many offensive jokes so id avoid if youre sensitive or it isnt your kind of humor but overall its pretty unique and self aware

FLFL was cool, the first like 6(?) episodes are 8-9/10 material

Yeah, since I watched the show as a kid I never got around to watching this season. Just like CCS, my memory of it was getting fuzzy so I decided to start a rewatch but with new seasonals coming out, mangos and just other things to do in general, I didn't go past the first dozen of eps x'). Now that I'm in a mood for more mahou shoujo I might actually watch it after I'm done Smile and possibly Futari Wa (if you aren't too far by the time I finish Smile).

This tbh. Don't know what happened in the last third but it really lost me, which is a shame considering how well it started and all the interesting themes it touched upon.

Transformation sequences are amazing.

But only if 2 conditions are met:

1. They look good visually
2. They're not shown in every fucking episode

Only exception is Megaman Axess, because I like it unconditionally.
