OddTaxi was good, it feels like it kind of stalls in the middle and the last episode ruins a lot of the show.

Otherwise it was fun.

What would you say ruined the show in the last episode? I found the ending fitting.

They hinted a lot at it throughout the show, so leaving things ambiguous would have been fine. The art style doesn't work as well with the different character designs, and some of them are kinda forced. Ruined is hyperbole, but it does drag down the rest of the show a bit.

As for the idol group stuff that part of the ending didn't really do anything for me, so I don't really care about it one way or the other.

I wouldn't watch a whole show like that, but I thought it did a good job of using the medium to show things and people changing.
Also I watched the first episode of MuvLuv and are they doing the thing again where the first few episodes serve as an introduction and are at least watchable while the rest of the show is an unfiltered stream of diarrhea? Because that's my bet.

I haven’t watched it yet but I’ve got low expectations because most visual novels get really lovely adaptations. It’s also a particularly challenging adaptation because the strength of Alternative relies a lot on building off of Extra and Unlimited. Without the absolutely generic romcom world of Extra and the brutal relentless beatdown Unlimited rains upon the protagonist, the actual badass turnaround of Alternative loses a lot of weight. Without that context it probably reads like a particularly challenging isekai

I’ll probably still check it out because I absolutely loved the visual novel, but my expectations are subterranean

I’m glad Trigger made a thing I can watch with other people in Little Witch Academia.

It still rocks that LWA is the one thing Trigger has done that's family friendly, and it's also a Marxist allegory.

I remember there being a very good episode of Kill la Kill about class divides. Unfortunately it was much less family friendly on account of all the butts.

Actually you’ll find Marxism would have been much more successful historically if it had made everything about the butts. Soviet Realism that focused on rear end and tiddies would have crushed the west in no time.

SSSS.Gridman/Dynazenon are pretty family friendly, unless tokusatsu violence counts in your book.

right so while i was banned i write a novel and watched neon genesis evangelion for the first time. so basically everyone gets to share their mind with everyone and shinji. and ascend into liquid form, but because shinji is such a hosed up shithead nobody wants to do anything after such a total downer

BNA isn't as good as LWA, but I'd say it passes the 'can you watch this with your friends' test. So does Promare, for that matter, unless your friends/family are extremely puritan about large shirtless firemen.

never heard of this show but I googled it and the first line of the summary is “the story is about racism” so I don’t know for sure if you’re supposed to agree with the racist pair of feet?

You are not supposed to, but they really need to stop using actual Nazi poo poo in their make believe fascism.
