Hibiki works the best as the focal character, but she's not the best symphogear

If they ever do a "Symphogear The Next Generation" kind of show and don't actually do this, then they are all failures

Mm, cool. Looks pretty worksafe, is it? Looking for a new train-friendly show to watch on my commutes now that I'm done with Mushishi.

the oldest mountain climber girl has boobs and in a few episodes they wear swim suits and that's about it. it's infinitely more focused on heartwarming stories of the main character showing her mom why mountain climbing is fun

you'll wanna load up the entire first season for a train ride though cause season 1 is like three minutes an ep lol. s1 is cute but s2 uses its longer run time really, really well to tell a story about the main character understanding their own love of mountain climbing and developing her relationship with her childhood friend who is basically her girlfriend, plus there are a couple episodes with really fantastic directing that are kind of impressive visually

Huh. That is a....very weird episode length.

I'll probably binge S1 tomorrow (assuming I like it, which it sounds like I will) and try S2 starting Monday.

Doesn't seem that weird, basically just a half length episode

I've been reading translations of Re Zero Act 4 for the last 12 hours today. May require assistance.

I'm currently at the part where Subaru is eaten alive by hundreds of little monster white rabbits.

The Boy and The Beast is a movie that has a really strong first act, a decent second act, and then the third act is really dumb and overly childish.

I don't regret watching it but it's def the weakest Hosoda film, no question.

They just barely acknowledge what led to the whole conflict and it hurts how they resolve it. They bring up that Ichirohiko had a lot of anger over being different from the beasts but for the most part they don't really address it much after that. No real attempt at speaking to him during the battle (which is what I'd rather see than an attempt to "absorb his darkness"). That combined with how he loses his memory of everything that happened once he was completely full of darkness made it a pretty unsatisfying resolution to me; in fact I find it outright odd that Ren and Ichirohiko don't really get to have an actual conversation in the second half of the movie! That's something that could have gone a long way for me.

I guess at the end I wish the stuff about "darkness inside humans" was less literal. It's a shame since before that conflict was set up I was enjoying the movie a lot. It doesn't bring down the movie so much that I'd never tell someone to watch it, but I'd definitely point them towards the other Hosoda films first.

I vaguely remember that battle but not why they're fighting at all... definitely recall thinking the darkness inside was pretty silly though

Also, agreed about referring people to other films first, although I loving love Wolf Children so that was never really in question for me

symphogear gx is definitely the most tokusatsu of the symphogear seasons, the problem is that they only have 13 episodes to execute on it and they waste half of those with just retreading fight scenes. the writer dude (who i refer to mentally as wild arms man so much that i forgot his real name) even pointed this out in an interview, the producers said 'well G was a big improvement sales-wise over S1, so write whatever you want' and the anime staff trusted him at this point, so he just crammed it full of everything he wanted to do because he wasn't sure if they'd get a S4/S5. Which is why the show has to force in dad subplots for both Hibiki and Tsubasa, they're lingering parts of their characters that need to be resolved.

Ah, the Hideo Kojima mistake.

Well, hopefully they're more willing to let things breathe now that they know they've got two cours coming up to fit all their stuff into. All GX really needs is a bit more focus and maybe a more compelling villain and I really wouldn't be complaining at all.
