Active Raid feels a little off to me. It is the same basic premise as patlabor, but unlike patlabor all the outcry about their incompetence seems largely unwarranted. In the first episode, they strictly followed procedure and all the red tape is what allowed the criminals to run free for so long. In the second, it was the fault of a rookie who refused to listen, so that obviously wasn't the cause of their bad reputation. In the third, it was entirely the fault of the press who received a terrorist threat and then didn't report it, plus most of the damage was caused by the criminal anyway. I'm not expecting it to be as good as patlabor, obviously. That would be insane. But the cast of this show aren't loose cannons or incompetent yet everyone treats them as such for no discernable reason. Again, it just feels off.

It's because they blow up a lot of buildings which usually doesn't go down well even if you're following procedure.

Yeah, most of the time they receive far more poo poo than they deserve. I think in the show it's stated that they get the dirty jobs that other people and precincts don't want to deal with. All of the cases we've seen have been high visibility and had a very good chance of collateral damage, so it seems like they've just been set up as designated scapegoats for the city. Hence, why they don't want any of the staff member's identities getting leaked.

Also, 'we put on an impromptu idol performance to distract the thirsty, naked otaku in the powersuit' is the sort of tactic that takes a lot of explaining to the tabloid press. At that point, from a PR perspective, you're probably better off just engaging in some good old-fashioned police brutality. It does heighten that weird conflict about how grounded this show wants to actually be, though, which crops up in pretty much every element of it.

In the second, the rookie made a mistake but that obviously didn't create their preexisting reputation. In the third, it was mostly the criminal who did it before anyone else got there. The cops barely caused any damage at all, and they certainly didn't miss shots or blow holes in walls. Even the idea of using the dumb rookie as a distraction instead of letting her go nuts again was pretty sound. I can see what they are going for, but it just isn't working.

It was oddly realistic how the captain (or whatever she is) had to go around apologizing to the people whose dithering the day before was the cause for most of the destruction, though.

That seems to be what the show is going for in order to set up more of a general conflict, even if it doesn't blow up in their faces until much later. They're not as incompetent at being police officers as the media thinks, but they still end up involved in a bunch of wacky situation that cause chaos. Anyway, the third episode was still entertaining and continued to be amusing, though with a few obvious production shortcuts. The next one seems interesting.

Rie Matsumoto is directing a 25 minute BBB OAD, to be released June 3 with a BBB "guidebook." The OAD is titled "King of the Restaurant of Kings," and is going to adapt a standalone chapter of the same title from volume 8 of the manga.

Yes, because an idol's public image is based on their personal beliefs.

on the other hand in like a single line the villain of active raid became one of the most colossal creepos in fictional history, and I am not sure I like where it's going with the implication that really shy girl who has problems speaking to the point where she introduces herself with a text message seems to recognize his antics and step up her game to stop it happening and no i was solely trying to say 'man wouldn't it be nice if a boy could dress up like an idol and be adored by the masses like in anime instead of probably being killed' not 'i respect this silly show for its political activism'

The Gunbuster movie isn't too bad, yet I still prefer the OVA series. There are folks who dislike the early episodes and might not mind, but I'd disagree. I wonder if there are still issues with a specific part of the background music used in the first OVA or so.

They're perfectly competent at their jobs, they just keep getting blamed for misfortune happening on their watch.

A little bit of that, a little bit of how they have a tendency to take on the way riskier jobs that end up destructively (which they are then sorta blamed for), a little bit of how the whole cast is really quirky and laid-back which, to the department heads and other police squads, overshadows their actual skills and capacity to get the job done.

The movie version of Macross Plus moves events around to make more sense and adds in some extra sequences, the Gunbuster movie is just the OAV cut down to 2 hours.

While Tabimachi Lateshow has very low animation, I do like the stories it's telling. It's not a serial story, but rather just a collection of vignettes. Will recommend.

Dagashi Kashi is the second casualty this season, for me. The only thing I was finding funny were the references to 70s/80s shows, and without those there's absolutely nothing about the show I find appealing.

Dagashi Kashi is cool and good but the effusive praise it gets just doesn't make sense to me at all. That said, I have a feeling that folks feel the same way about me when I talk about sports anime so I don't judge.
