This show is good and drat cute. It also managed to get my roommate's attention, and they don't watch anime.

man if a fairly generic moe show got their attention they are going to be an otaku in no time

I hope so, I'm just waiting for them to ask me if the episode is up next week.

I was never in band but goddamn do I hate these fictional high school slackers/Euph's sister.

This episode was so beautiful and fun it made me want to cry. This show is great to have coming off of Shirobako, and it's not at all weaker for using the high school setting.

That physical part got me thinking, go girls in Japan really fret over their boob size that much, or is that just an anime thing?

lol

Really though, it's just your average teen insecurity represented as a ridiculous visual gag.

Funniest episode yet and this show is quickly growing on me. Anyone have a gif of the color swapped Midori clones playing tuba



it starts too early but it's better then the others i found

This is oddly hypnotic. Maybe the combination of the eyes and the simultaneous tuba playing.



well there's this one too...

eh, i'm glad they actually addressed some of the politics/fallout from the previous year. it was annoying how they brought it up earlier but didn't say much about it. same goes for this dumb flashback the show has yet to talk about,

the dynamic Reina and Kumiko have is so good. it's really a shame that Katou got rejected and decided being cheerleader was a good idea. i don't want her going through that or the ensuing non-band drama

Which episode is that?

I really need to rewatch Utena, I don't think I've seen it since the original DVD's came out in like the early 00's.

dunno the number but there are blinking arrows that point to all sorts of details in that episode. cool gag

so we were fed vague and inaccurate info about a book that isn't in English

thanks for the clarification

characters that were diminished and attacked

definitely the best part

I don't know duders. If you don't think OG Asuka, Natsuki, and Shuuichi are better, we can't be moe-friends weeb-buddies.

original Shuuichi is actually attractive but i thought Asuka looked way older than the other characters and...i don't remember who Natsuki is

dogsicle
Oct 23, 2012

i think the cute Natsuki/Kumiko scene eased the confirmation that Reina is into Taki. anyway i definitely liked the episode, didn't think it was boring. just evocative of one of the earlier episodes where the band kids are being little shits, which makes it a bit frustrating to watch.

He's older and a teacher so...dude has a responsibility to shut that down. If there was like a timeskip to post-hs/college and she got with him then, that would be okay I guess.

I don't really care about which anime schoolgirl gets hooked up with who, so I just want to say that the chick with the ribbons is a bitch. Like I'm sorry that your weirdo stalker crush lost but deal with it.

i'm hoping Reina wins the solo again and we get to see her lose it

nehezir posted:

I can't say that. she's still a selfish little asskisser who threw the entire band into anarchy and wasted valuable time they don't have to spend simply because she wanted it her way.

now, that makes her a convincing teenager, but I can't say it redeems her as a person. if anything, it means they did a good job making her a selfish asskissser.

the show portrayed her more sympathetically today, i suppose. it was sad rather than cathartic to see her fall apart over Kaori "losing."

dogsicle
Oct 23, 2012

yeah the show has only characterized Yuko with "likes and admires Kaori" so it's hard for me to dislike her even if i hate what she does. there's obviously more to her, though we're not really getting it.

what bothers me more about her audition stink is how it's really unfair to Kaori, which i'm glad they made her acknowledge even if it couldn't convince her to give it up.

Shirobako's director is working on Prison School, so there's no reason to expect an S2 so soon unless you want it to be bad

don't downplay the breast thing. the episode where they have physicals brings it up again.

except neither of time is bad or generic and the second one is a great gag.
