We've been discussing Asterisk Wars in the old thread also: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3750631

Not that there's much to discuss, mind, but what discussion there has been has been in there.

Space Patrol Luluco remains excellent. I think Trigger might be at its best in 8 minute chunks.

i think yoh yoshinari can be good in half-hour chunks too, though

Okada's writing and Ttigger's manic, expressive house style are surprisingly good fits for each other.

Today I watched the first episode of Tanaka-kun is Always Listless. Seems like fun in a low-key sort of way. I like how they used Ohta carrying Tanaka around as a screen wipe towards the end.

So, I'm enjoying ~HaiFuri~
But for some reason, I can't stop laughing at the "doctor" character, just by virtue of being a high school doctor. She's barely got any lines, but she is simultaneously the funniest character on the show

yeah, but that wasn't really done in their usual style, i think that was just them doing a straight ln adaptation. most of their stuff outside of that that isn't inferno cop or most of ninja slayer is pretty expressive

Anyone else picking up a certain Scientology vibe from the Kiznaiver project? You know, the whole 'WHAT ARE YOUR CRIMES?' thing.

I have no loving clue what Kiznaiver is gonna be, all I know is that the cast is cool and it looks really amazing. Also, the intro song is utterly hypnotic. For some reason, I expect it to transform into a space-y version of Take On Me right in the middle...

I guess it's trolling the protagonists into being friends? Is this gonna be some super-dumb social experiment? I expected the second episode to show its hand, but I still have not the slightest bit of an idea what's gonna happen. I guess I'll watch it because it's Trigger and it could turn into absolutely everything at this point.

It's totally a social experiment, the bit with the mayor and the teachers at the beginning said as much in episode two. Unless I completely misunderstood them.

Yep, the whole thing seems to be an insane, dystopian, and darkly comic stab at manufacturing human connections by the sorts of people who are considerably more in need of human connections than their test subjects. Especially if what happened to the MC in his backstory was an early try at the Kiznaiver project, in which case he had his life wrecked by the same procedure that tried to (unnecessarily) give him one in the first place.

It could be really fun (and by fun I mean scary) if they double down on the (already pretty blatant) cult recruitment parallels and end up showing that some of the stuff the kids reveal about themselves is due to stress-induced false memories, or some similarly mad poo poo.

I find how happy and upbeat they are about being shot at and labeled traitors more weird than girls in boats, personally.
