I'm not sure how to elegantly design something like this to be, like, usable, but hey.

So you're saying MyGO is actually good? I kind of fell off the bang wagon around Morfonica. Does it do something interesting to shake up the "teenage girls form a band" story?

like i think the best summary of mygos tone imo is when the one who caused like half the drama cops to it and admits shes manipulative and the protag's response is just 'oh, you're normal. like you were so nice i was scared of you. so im really glad you're normal.' no making her apologize, not even really treating it as a bad thing that much, literally just making fun of her a bit and then saying its a really normal thing for a teenage girl to be kinda manipulative when it comes to drama. cool moment. cool show. ftw.

one more episode of lv99 Villainess to go next week, looks like its gonna end on a strong note. If this week's was the last episode, I wouldn't have been surprised. Good last hurrah of Dolkness dense moments as she's getting assassination attempts, resolved the parents issue, finally got together with Patrick. (who got to lv60, wow) And everyone is setting off to the demon lord. Wouldn't have been surprised if that was the end and this was the hook for next season, but I guess we're getting one more.

MyGo was the first bang dream i watched beyond falling off a couple of eps of the initial show, and yeah it was my anime of the season and probably the year. both emotionally compelling and the emotions were far more grounded and 'realistic' than i would ever have expected from the pitch (spoiling this image of High Angst from the midpoint just in case) also while i'm always hesitant to say a character is 'canon autistic' i think the ep that's tomori's first-person backstory is the closest i'd come to just going yeah, i don't care if they explicitly state it, she is. the end of the kindergarten scene where the teachers are trying to get her to go play with the other kids but she just wants to arrange her rock collection is really cute and sad at the same time - captures both her happiness with her rocks and the adults writing her off as 'ugh, this kid's weird' in a couple of seconds of animation

Legit surprised I haven't seen more people into Snack Basue, which to me feels like Pop Team Epic on qualuudes (positive). Very similar style of humor but a much less manic pace.

Very similar style of humor but a much less manic pace. i watched the first couple of episodes of snack basue and it waffled between actually being pretty funny and aggressively not landing for me. the second half of the first ep with the incel guy was a rough watch even with the joke being how insufferable he is. there's something there and i'm honestly not surprised to hear someone's into it, but it wasn't my thing. also the last ep of metallic rouge might honestly have been the worst yet - building to your climax with a drop in animation quality and a bunch of running around nondescript halls is a rough move

I feel like if you ever give it a second shot (or want to take a blind leap, to anyone else), hit up episode 5. It's a good snapshot of a lot of the extended cast and also shows a better Morita-chan skit.

I saw you say earlier that (despite all it's manifest and real flaws) that this show has often said interesting things about social dynamics and individual social development even to the point of making you introspect on yourself and I definitely agree. Earlier in the run, Fuuka was one of my favorite characters. She was a great foil for Aoi - introverted rather than extroverted, earnest rather than manufactured, honest rather than Machiavellian. And, I guess, she is still all those things. But over time she's becoming my least favorite character basically because she and tomozaki have like negative chemistry and he's basically freezing her development as a person at the same time as he chooses her as his romantic interest at the same time as he continues to prioritize Aoi over all others. Dashing this off quickly so it's kinda half baked, but the tomozaki/Fuuka thing is really not landing for me rn.

Endorph posted:that stuff would have been written in the novels probably around the time twitter was first getting big in japan whichd explain some of that tone i think yeah the actual twitter part just lands weird today, i kinda figured that. like watching a show from 15 years ago where everyone has flip phones. but the way it's executed is an indicator of a bigger issue - the show doesn't really know how to ramp up the plot past tomozaki working on not being a shut-in. he got there, and the answers for what comes next have been disappointing.
