i was suprised at how funny amagi was for a kyoani show and then i saw that the fumoffu/lucky star/nichijou guy worked on it. i guess thats their "funny guy" because god knows whoever directed tamako market and chuunibyou can't do comedy

fumoffu is so good. Probably one of the funnier things that I have watched.

this show is legitmately fantastic. the interview episode was just as good as the best nichijou episodes. i loving lost it at the stab wound victim and "how often do you flick the bean"

The pirate episode of Amagi is fun as hell.

It's a good show and I hope the Kyoani comedy guy gets let out of his cage more often.

yeah Amagi is super funny and i feel like it kinda got slept on. i'm still pissed about that bit with Toriken at the human business meeting though. I've been wanting to rewatch it on CR but i feel bad about neglecting my backlog.

I think the main reason it went under the radar is that CR only recently got it. Sucks that nobody simulcast it and honestly these days unless you're part of a high profile franchise if you're not being simulcast you might as well not exist.

i think amagi also got slept on because it was coming at the heels of a bunch of pretty mediocre kyoani shows

between it and eupho i feel like kyoani's got its groove back

adtrw was like the only place with a decent/positive discussion of Amagi from what i saw, but it was still sparse. so when i checked out other places it was really weird to see no or negative things being said about it. like the show somehow wasn't good because it didn't "look like" KyoAni or it arbitrarily ranked lower on people's KyoAni faves lists.

e: Okabe taking Rukako on a date is really cute

I've been meaning to check it out now that it's on CR. I enjoyed Fumoffu and it looks like more of the same.

also man thinking about eupho and amagi in comparison to boundary just makes that show's issues even weirder

it's like half the production team wanted to do an episodic action comedy - they meet a demon, they fight a demon, hijinks inbetween point a and point b - and half the production team wanted to do a big character drama about what it's like to be an outcast, with some action to spice things up. And then they met in the middle and the result was just kinda limp-wristed at everything.

Like boundary isn't a bad show. some of the jokes land really well, the fight scenes are gorgeous, and a lot of the cast is likable. but then all the characters have no real depth to them and 90% of the jokes are just 'hey guys, here's my wacky trait. welp, bye,' like a bad support conversation in fire emblem: awakening. i think it'd be much stronger if it'd just leaned one way or the other, comedy or drama, because trying to mix them and also develop the plot in a 13-episode series just made it feel like watching cliffnotes.

Amagi was very good and i'm glad more people might watch it now that it's streaming and stuff.



Also, i wish i could go to the miku opera.

It was literally the first good KyoAni show in a long while and the pitch wasn't exactly super strong, most people even here had low expectations and didn't bother until word of mouth worked its way into the Fall(?) thread.

i even expected to not like it after episode 1, despite good word of mouth. :v:

but i guess i could be clearer and say "i watched Amagi and it wasn't K-On/Nichijou/Hyouka-level, it's poo poo and part of the 2-3 year drought" is an asinine opinion i saw elsewhere that bothered me

hahaha no not even close. the scans are around 20 chapters behind japan, and I think they just got finished drawing their hands for south 4th round there. unless akagi gets chiihou or renhou or whatever.

its more like washizu-sama is just the loving best and the latest translated chapters really show why. hyoudou is feared and hated by his underlings but the white suits love washizu and I'm pretty sure he loves them. young akagi is great too but not as amazing as washizu.
