What did you think about it?

I had to be honest.
While you had issues with MHA I had issues with Food Wars LOL

Comedy gold here:

I'm. Fucking. Done. With new anime. Recently I watched In This Corner in the World...WAY better than all the new anime I've been watching when I started seasonal anime in 2016.
So I'm sticking to older stuff.

Damn. To be 2 years YOUNGER than me you sure have a deeper voice lol.

Nice Vids Man. I Really liked you BNHA Analysis Video "I Used to Like MHA". I Realize someof the Faults by Studio Bones but For a Shonen It isn't that bad. The Manga Covers things a bit better and IMO The art is WAY BETTER. I reccommend you go read it. If you want to start where the anime ended in Season 2 Start from Chapter 70 of the manga. The parts after S3 get way darker in themes so You might like it more.

How was winter, and how's the current spring season for anime?

You're better off not watching it. Ever. Honestly, I haven't seen Outlaw Star but comparing it to Daybreak is an insult to Outlaw Star. It was a weird, sort of prototype for Eureka Seven based on a video game. Except none of the characters were as interesting, the mechs looked like underwater Patlabors, and it probably has the single worst character writing I've ever seen. You know how it is when a character speaks in really clunky exposition but you're okay with it because, hey, it's exposition I can live with it? Imagine an entire show where 95% of the dialogue is like that. That's honestly why I rate it so low; it's not any lower because the show at least looked nice, had a fairly decent plot, and some alright stand alone episodes. But yeah, I would not recommend. Only memorable thing was that there was a dolphin in a robot suit, that was neat.

That's certainly true; you've liked Enokido & Igurashi's other shows so you may enjoy Captain Earth. And that is a pretty strange coincidence with the OP's. All I knew about Captain Earth's OP before was that the song was really dope. I do fully expect you to get something worthwhile out of it; and hopefully the same with me when I get around to it. Plus, it's a Bones mecha; when are those not kind of nutty? I'll tell you when: Mars Daybreak. And it sucked for it.

Hence one of my desires to rewatch MoO; there's so much I didn't get on the first go-through. I'd like to at least wrap my head around what it all meant. Star Driver doesn't seem as confusion, but I'd rather not take any chances. Captain Earth is a whole other story from what I've heard; you planning to check it out soon? And do you have the links to those Animesuki posts, btw?

Sounds like you put a lot of thought into writing about it. Guess you lucked out by having no one else write about Wolf's Rain. I'm planning to pick up that book soon; maybe then I'll be able to make heads or tails of Melody lol. I'm honestly planning to rewatch it sometime soon because I'm planning to watch Enokido's Bones shows. Need to get in the right feel for Star Driver and Captain Earth, y'know?

Melody must've been really something to write about; what made you pick that one in particular?

I've heard good to alright things about ATR & Kokkoku. Also heard similarly mixed things on Beatless, but I'm still gonna check it out regardless. Even if it's a failure, Mizushima's directing could at least make it an interesting one.

the truth has been exposed
seriously though, that is pretty damn sick. You're moving up in the world, man.

Yeah, there're lots of Winter/Spring shows I need to catch up on. Excluding all the sequels and readaptations and whatever that new Fate series was. Mostly interested in checking out Beatless (ya boi Mizushima on this one), After the Rain, Kokkoku, and Megalobox. Seasonal watching is truly a neverending curse, I tell ya.

Roger, did you write for Chris Stuckmann's book? I saw there was a section on Melody of Oblivion in the Amazon preview, and you're the only guy I know who really enjoyed it. I also saw there was a ConRevo segment, so I'm aiming to pick it up soon.

Also, when are you gonna jump onto that Hisone to Masotan goodness? First episode was the best I've seen all year.

Hi
thanks for accepting me

Neat contributions to the Anime Impact book. Didn’t read because spoilers, but it definitely piqued my interest in Wolf’s Rain, .hack//SIGN and Melody of Oblivion, even if the latter two are pretty polarizing.
