Konohana Kitan had a really good last episode, but there is no reason that series can’t continue forever

Yuasa should do whatever the hell he wants. The two adaptations he's made of Morimi books (Tatami Galaxy and Night is Short, Walk On Girl) have been cool.

Okay the manga sucks (what little there is of it) but the 70's tv series owns. Or, uh, at least first seven episodes do...

the anime is ok until halfway through when honey's girlfriend gets burned to death

i've also heard honey flash kinda sucks cause it doesn't really have any of the narrative strength of the magical girl shows it's aping. i also haven't really heard amazing stuff about either of the live-action movies or the live-action tv series. really basically everything other than re:cutie honey or shin cutie honey isn't very good

anyway the strength of the new anime depends entirely on whether they're willing to make natsuko as relevant as in re:cutie honey imo cause outside of doing something weird like shin cutie honey she's kind of the heart what's good about the series to me and she's only really in one thing

It was thoroughly weird, and also thoroughly badly-paced. It felt like someone's student art project, mostly in an endearing sort of way, but it was let down a lot by how many of its episodes dedicated half their length to rehashing simple points that didn't need to be explained more than once. I wouldn't really recommend it.

I stopped after the episode that was 24 minutes of back and forth "Do not eat that candy", "I will keep eating the candy, it is good, you should eat it too", "No I will not eat that candy, you stop eating it."

I watched it all the way through as well, mostly based on my liking of the op and ed. it could have ended at episode... 9? the one where they stop eating the candy. and I would have thought better of it. The remaining episodes were just kind of there. I gave it a 6 on mal, for reference.

If not for Land of the Lustrous every single show I chose would have been a cute girls doing cool things show, and honestly that's getting off on the slimmest of technicalities.

Apparently the idiot who likes moe is me.

In no particular order: symphogear AZX, Lustrous, Konosuba, Princess Prinicipal, LWA.

I'm not sure Symphogear really counts, didn't Chris spend the season coming to terms with the murder of her parents and also shooting that kid's leg off?

I'm telling my mommy. That pubbie doesn't do video games right!
Berseria is easily the best home console Tales game since Vesperia, though I haven't played any of the handhelds to compare. Zestiria is the worst game in the series, so don't play that one.
