It's the same jokes repackaged over and over. For some people "Lol your change of clothes is a bikini" is the height of comedy.

hell yeah! thank you for outsourcing some of the work so your next movie didn't take 10 years to make, on-gaku guy (unless you just got extremely good at rotoscoping everything by yourself). i should probably catch up on movies that take place in the world of the real because i hadn't heard of drive my car until this tweet.

First ep of Beauty and the Beast King is out and it's following the manga pretty well for right now. Cy and Clops are still extremely adorable and we'll see one of the best girls in the series next.

Just saw this one last night. Looks decent enough, so I'll see where the plotline goes.

Meanwhile, "Too Cute Crisis" continues to be (if not the best animated) a silly enough story for me to keep watching.

Picked up Birdie Wing for the three episode test and after just one I'm sold. This is the most batshit anime anime I've watched in years, I love it.

It'll get to be a little less crazy for a few episodes, seemingly just "golf high school", but rest assured, the crazy is back at full strength now on Cour 2.

people say that but the golf high school still features multiple insane lesbians, expies from kakegurui, a lady who can control her ball by saying IN DA ZONE in english outloud, and the line 'ill kill you in golf.' idk why people think those eps are bland.

It's a transitory arc with lower stakes and the new powers are cool but don't get to be shown off, so I think some cooling of enthusiasm is normal.

Also people think the twist and wild plot is the crazy part of Birdie Wing when the actually real wild and innovative part is the fact Eve is the lead character of the series. On the surface she should be the main season ending villain in every other sports anime but here she's our main character and the show doesn't soften her at all. In fact the show had her win out and beat characters that would of been typical leads in the doubles tournament

She very much feels like an action movie lead instead of a sports anime lead and the show is very much better for it. Show would 100% be not as good if everything was the same but if Aoi was our lead

Birdie Wing's greatest failing is that it's about golf, which severely undermines it at the points when it calms the gently caress down and approximates being a normal sports anime.

I did find it mildly amusing that they made it a point for Aoi to use a 48 inch driver right around when the USGA and R&A were shortening the maximum length to 46 inches for pro and elite amateur competition.

Even then you still had Eve being Eve and the payoff at the end here.

I don't know anything about golf, but some years ago when I was in Japan for work the guy picking me up had a little TV in his car where he watched golf and would mime swings (while driving) so I appreciate that it's a matter of life and death.

"Otaku Elf" remains a simple pleasure, and having done the occasional late night run to 7-11 for a snack I can understand Elba's happiness. Next week we get to meet the second elf in the titles. Maybe they're related?

i think i'm with you - i love parts of it and hate other parts, the second episode had more of the weird creative poo poo i enjoy about the show and the third episode had more of the attempts at low-brow humor that just fall totally flat for me.

also, look up itasha for a fun time
