Second-stage Midboss Syndrome

So how was Tsukimonogatari guys?

Somewhere between Nadeko Snake and Shinobu Time. Kind of a middling, weirdly plot-focused arc of Monogtari.

If anybody was eagerly awaiting the Zvezda OVA, it got subs this week and is a boring episode about idols.

I thought it was going to be about evil american baseball players! drat. Saving that for the second season then, if I can dream.

That's about what I expected :(
I couldn't see any way they could make a Zvezda OVA unless it was a bullshit cashgrab.

Well I hoped they might pull something like the smoker episode again, and there definitely was a hint of it. But the only redeeming thing was a sorta cute robot-themed song Roboko sang.

Ugh, Cross Ange is such hot garbage, and they've cut corners all over the place when it comes to animation, the 1st episode had a completely unnecessary rape scene, and the tone is general is misogynistic as poo poo, but I'm actually interested in the story and plot. Every new episode I almost want to watch it but have to stop 5 minutes in and just wait for the wiki to update with a extensively detailed ploy synopsis rather then watch the whole thing.

Fukuda, producer of Cross Ange posted:

Fukuda also informed fans that the opening sequence featured on television and the one included in the packaged version will be different, with the girls featured in one portion being naked in the home video version. He noted that since it would be boring with lots of censor bars during the television broadcast, the decision was made to put clothes on the characters.

Don't you just hate it when a creator's artistic vision gets stifled by draconian censorship laws?

Maybe that's why we hated Cross Ange, what we got was not true to the director's true intentions, which was an OP full of naked teens.

Picture this but they are all naked, this is Fukuda's vision. I dont loving understand, he isn't even the shows primary director, do the producers have that much weight in the decision making process?

Personally I hope they will also make all the characters in this shot naked too. Anyway, good to see everyone is still "ironically" watching this show and giving it so much attention, maybe you'll some day get noticed as goons of refined anime taste.

Well, obviously. I mean, can you imagine how hard it would be for Cross Ange to spin the violent sexual assault of its main character as deserved karmic retribution for just being kind of a bitch if she was a minor. It's a terribly-written, exploitative, misogynist clusterfuck, but at least it's thinking of the children...
