I watched Hinako a few minutes at a time while doing other things. It was very nice I don't know why it is getting called out. Having a plot is an original concept so I'm curious to see where it goes. Scarecrow is such a good gag too.

when creators do this thing it always kinda ticks me off. it's one thing to say that you didn't personally feel satisfied with what you accomplished with the work but this kind of thing is basically just insulting everyone who found meaning in your work and crying 'oh, what will i do with my five billion yen.'

I actually respect him more for it, because he realizes the film's mistakes and is frustrated that people aren't noting it. A lot of the things I thought didn't work for the movie were the very things he felt it was lacking in, so he feels that people are attributing things to his work that were never there.

For the devil's advocate argument, his statements are perfectly setup for a "death of the author" argument, but I personally feel like all of those arguments would have to intentionally ignore the movie's flaws, which is exactly his issue. Because if Your Name because his magnum opus, then how is he supposed to follow it? Make the same mistakes that won him praise, or create the best work that he can and risk losing his lofty status?

But I do think that he should just try to ignore the hype and just do what he does. Being reactionary is never a good thing.

Eromanga-sensei is gonna end with the brother and sister boning isn't it?

I just started watching the first season of Saekano after months of hearing goons talk about it and it is WAY better than I thought it would be. I love all of it so far. Kato's dry as the Sahara humor is the best.

Based on spoilers from the 8th volume: Yes. If it feels familiar, it's very much because it's from the author of OreImo so a number of things get reused.

So, speaking as somebody who typically goes 'Meh' and stops watching most anime half way through the first episode, the new series of Bahamut has me loving hooked.

The animation is ridiculous, the characters fun and atypical.

Holy poo poo, dragon!

I want to binge watch the whole thing right now.

Zero Mahou itself is a fine adaptation, it cuts out a lot of the exposition and gets going much faster than the LN. Not sure if that would make the mechanism of the world more confusing but a quicker pace is fine. Maybe a little is lost without full access to the MCs irreverent thoughts. Also, this being animation there's a more constant reminder that yes, this is a furry guy.

Looks like furry anime is going beyond Mamoru Hosoda's works now.

I'd never heard of Orelmo. But the shots lingering on the sister and the way the brother doesn't get fed up with this bratty sister of his demanding food and literally never leaving her room for a year despite him waiting on her every need just creep me out.

Well part of the backdrop of this series is that their parents both died a year before and triggered her becoming a Hikki which is at least, ostensibly, some sort of excuse to just let things be.

There's technically no boning (there's the possibility of implied boning) as the ending also has them coming to a mutual understanding with their feelings and having a mutual breakup once Kyosuke graduates (iirc).

With Eromanga-sensei, there's nothing so objectionable as being blood related to interfere with their incest.

Wow, Alice to Zouroku is a real low-budget affair.

That CGI in episode 1 and the poor lip syncing and sound effects.
