SVMS-01 UNION FLAG GREATEST MOBILE SUIT

ENACT = CHEAP EUROTRASH COPY




I am really liking the development that Reina is, in fact, just a huge dweeb.

if this show doesn't end up yuri it's gonna be real disappointing considering this whole episode was just two girls practically yelling, "I'm gay! Gay for you!" at each other. also, no one has mentioned the tiny Midori clone!

It's the most HS Band relationship in the show.

I liked that his reaction to her yukata was kept at his few words and his reddening ears.

My god this episode is a work of art. I didn't think this show would be able to compete with BBB and Ore Monogatari, and yet now I'd undoubtedly put this show ahead of Ore Monogatari at least.

You had the chance to put this ahead of BBB or My Love Story and you chose My Love Story?

Mods can you just ban him now?

My problem with My Love Story is that it doesn't seem to have any sense of direction. If plot starts happening then my opinion will change.

I only regret that KyoAni will probably never do Ore Monogatari since that would be to amazing for this universe

Ore Monogatari being done by the same studio that did Chihayafuru makes a lot of sense.

Kyoani has done a great job making these kinds of interpersonal dramas shine by using very cinematic camera techniques and touches of character acting. Oremonogatari works better being a more broad shojo comedy and the style being used suits it currently just fine.

That comparison doesn't mean much when talking about Madhouse.

It's true.

Also I don't think they could have quite pulled off the show's style.

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

Lol the song Kumiko and Reina plays at the end of the episode is literally called "The Place We Found Love"

As this show keeps getting better and better I'm starting to think this too. Ore Monogatari is great fun but I really like the direction this show has so far. If it manages to have an ending on the same level as the rest of it I wouldn't be afraid to say I like it more than Monogatari.

BBB is still the best though.

Was a very nice episode indeed. Cheered for side-couple. Was almost expecting a kiss at the end, was slightly let down, but the previous scenes were very good so it'd be dumb to hold that against it. Sapphire sister was very cute.

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.

i forget the episode but the gag is that arrows point to every single piece of symbolism. most of them are phallic imagery. the main villain is surrounded by big-rear end cacti and one of his henchmen walks in with a tiny little baby cactus and like fifteen arrows appear just in case you didn't get it.
