For some reason (beyond the fact that I'm stupid), I re-watched Haganai across this week. Now, I don't know if it was actually explained or I missed it, but is the whole reason why Yozora is such a massive bitch explained beyond the "Kodaka went away and I was too chicken to 'fess up I was a girl / I fancy him when we were kids" thing? Also, while I find the character annoying, Marina Inoue's voice is super hot. :blush:

I'm dumb, okay? I knew I should've left it alone. But I wanted to watch a dumb show and forsooth, I got one. First season was overall inoffensive so I thought that stuff on the second season would be overall more of the same. Hell, they even got me with the episode that focuses on Saori's backstory. But no, they had to go for the dumb little sister route. Couldn't just have been brotherly love.

I kinda fell off Hero Academia when it turned into more training arcs and took a darker turn. It was also running into the shounen curse of the side characters being more interesting than the main one. Maybe that has changed since I stopped on it, though.
It's an OK show. The thing to understand is that it's basically trying to follow on the WSJ mold while trying for some variety on the spices. But make no bones, it's as standard a Jump Manga/Anime as it gets.

Now, the more important question is when are we getting more HxH?

Endless Eight was great, but I totally understands its detractors. For some people it's not unlike listening to AC/DC for over an hour. Sure, you're gonna get :rock:. But at the end of the day, you're listening to variations of the same song/topic.

It's also the reason I tend to watch Gintama in batches of 2 or 3 episodes.

I know that this is the common sense answer (like the equivalent of "DON'T DATE KEN" :mad: in Persona 3 Portable), but having no day job can be a BITCH for what you should do. Fortunately, I started a new day job 3 weeks ago so I can rationalize my time much better. Still haven't heard your opinions on Scum's Wish.

Oyasumi PunPun is a hard comic to pin down. Inio Asano also reminds me a lot of the lady that did Not Simple and House of Five Leaves.

I love the fact that most of the main LL girls (for both Muse and Aqua) are/were either lesser-known or up-and-coming voice actresses, but for the moms they got people like Noriko Hidaka, Kotono Mitsuishi (who does NicoMom) and Kikuko Inoue.

dogsicle posted:

just from seeing wildly varying takes on scum's wish, i'd say it's best to just jump in. it seems really polarizing, i just didn't care to watch it past previewing episode 1 because romance/drama isn't a thing i normally shoot for.
Alright, that's what I'll do, then. :)

Natsume Ono owns, and while Not Simple isn't her standard affair, it gets you attuned to her unique art style fairly well.

I love both artists, but besides being somewhat melancholy, I wouldn't say their works share too many similarities.

Also to answer your question: Scum's wish is good if you like seeing a more realistic, messy portrayal of High School Relationships. I haven't sat down to watch it yet, but a few other people in ADTRW and outside of it were saying it was among their top shows last season, so I'd say go for it if you can deal with heartbreak.
That's her name! Thanks, I kept forgetting. :)

The ACCA show from last season is also based on one of her manga, isn't it? I liked that.

WRT Scum's Wish, I'll say this: Late 2016 and early 2017 were an absolute poo poo shower for yours truly and, while I hope I don't have to go through something similar anytime soon, I think that going through what I did has helped me deal with heartbreak a lot better.

Two more good moms.




Yui's Mom appears for all of 20 or so seconds, has no bearing whatsoever on the plot (unlike Yukino's family) and yet the things she says and how she says them tell me more about how much Yui likes both Hikki and Yukinon than almost anything else. Also, parents embarrassing their children will never not be funny.

Rinko is the best mom.

Mirano Yasuko rules and that scene where she briefly wakes up, gives her son and Taiga the ol' stink-eye + some moolah and sends them on their way to have breakfast so that she can have some goddamn shuteye was the best.

how is lovely magic bastard teacher so far? Totally predictable or super awesome journey through special land
It's basically in the same ballpark as Irregular at Magic High School, Asterisk War, Chivalry of a Failed Knight and all the "magic battle high school / we desperately want the Harry Potter demographic, but we can't even get Kensho Ono to voice one of the main characters" genre of light novels > anime adaptations that got really popular like 2 years ago. It's nowhere near as dull and lifeless as Irregular / generic and run-of-the-mill as Asterisk, though. I guess it's somewhat serviceable, like Chivalry. Oh, and it has Hiroki Takahashi basically voicing a Magic Fantasy version of Ryu, same voice style and even a similar personality doing his cool voice.

First three episodes (which pretty much adapt the first Volume of the novels, according to what I read on some other website) were incredibly run-of-the-mill except for a few instances. The first episode, as a whole, you could skip it and not miss a thing. It does get better later on, but again, it's a pretty skip-able show unless you like trashy shows.

Speaking of trashy shows, Scum's Wish was incredibly meh. I guess it was pretty to look at and it portrayed some aspects of the sex scenes as how a few of my bi/lesbian friends have described them (mostly the awkwardness). But more often than not, it was a boring waste of time. Guess I should've stopped watching instead of finishing it. Re:Creators is tons of fun, though! (They're both streaming on Amazon).

e: Holy poo poo, spelling. :eng99:
