I'm a sucker for SoL shows and this was really good! It's also a lot funnier than I thought it'd be -- loved the bit about his daughter's social interpretations of the editor's sitting poses. And now I've learned to watch out for that god drat Fancypeeps, so the day wasn't entirely wasted.

whoever's subbing this for funi seems a little bit outmatched, hopefully they get the hang of it better. really pleased with the direction though.

Kumeta's works are basically the sort of series that demand a Translator's Note page or addendum because of how much wordplay he does with stuff. All of the named characters have a pun or double meaning in their name just like in Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei.

Adventures in typesetting aside, that first episode really snuck up on me. Liked it a whole lot.

Christ, the Japanese just have a straight-up dedicated Wiki for it, and they don't need any reference for the wordplay. which was basically how I made it through translating Goku/Zan/NML. Sadly, the pages are all 2-3 times as long as they were when scripts were due. I am sad that Funi isn't going full ADVENTURES IN TYPESETTING, because the best part of SZS was coming up with absurd .rear end concepts and watching Plork somehow make them a reality.

So is Goto dead in ten years or what? I find the future scenes kind of a buzz kill

Professor Irony posted:So is Goto dead in ten years or what? It's definitely an interesting framing device and without having read the manga, I'm not sure what the context is specifically. It definitely wants to add that element of mystery to what's otherwise a gag series + dad series Edit: From what I've seen elsewhere, some of the punchlines are trimmed from the chapters used to make episodes so it might be a deliberate spin by the director

I couldn't stop laughing the entire episode. From the OP it looks like the chef, the florist, and the aspiring idol are all going to be regulars along with Ichiko and I can't wait to see what kind of foolishness results from Kakushi's obliviousness.

Still loving this show, but a couple weeks ago I asked my teacher friend from Japan about that stick Ichiko's always carrying. I thought it was for corralling large groups of primary school kids to keep them out of traffic, but she told me they're anti-pervert sticks and she remembers the training video she watched to learn how to use them. They even have them hanging in the walls at schools and have regular drills where a dude shows up pretending to be a creeper and the teachers just go to town on him with huge forkies. I've been obsessed ever since and am so close to buying or building one. Disarm all cops and make them do their patrols with bigass forks. Better yet, everyone should have the right to bear forks. https://youtu.be/7xUGHEAhvRk https://youtu.be/OUkA8BlfSNY https://youtu.be/Hqtny9yj8u8

Cops are already untrustworthy with billy clubs. Now you suggest we give them pole arms?

From what understand their use is for restraining someone with minimal injury instead of simply beating the poo poo out of them. Also, giant aluminum forks are way more hilarious (and safer) than weighted batons or firearms.

One of the videos that came out of China in February of people being taken to containment facilities showed the guards using that sort of pole.

I apologise for not fully considering the ethical and political implications of replacing police firearms with big goofy forks in the comedy anime thread.

https://www.doglistener.co.uk/humour/commandments.shtml Here's the link for the 10 commandments for Dog ownership that they seem to be referencing. Presumably when it got translated into Japanese and used for the movie 10 Promises to My Dog it was a lot less dark and made more sad. Like there's a number of ones in the original that talk about animal abuse which is probably necessary but also makes it more grim than melancholy.

I've caught up to the series and it's pretty good! Not all jokes land but the endearing characters and very subtle not at all harsh criticism of manga industry more than make up for it. And I love the song they used in ed, so drat catchy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7OJkEJv1to&feature=youtu.be

Tarezax posted:"secret love child" is "kakushigo" Oh snap. That ending was a tear-jerker, and I especially liked seeing how things turned out in the future. Rasuna's an awesome friend for dropping everything to help out her old sensei, especially after becoming a famous mangaka. Same goes for all the others, of course (including Tomaruin, I guess). Naru becoming an investigative journalist was interesting, so I'm wondering if You or Kumi showed up and I missed them because they looked different.

golden bubble posted:https://animecorner.me/2020/06/kakushigoto-author-reveals-reason-why-he-concludes-the-manga-along-with-the-anime/ It's an absolutely gorgeous show, and it must mean a lot to the production crew for Kumeta to say that. I'm really happy for them and hope the show gets the critical reception it deserves. Related to that, the whole time I was trying to figure out the meaning behind the two different art styles in the OP and between the past and future scenes. I think the finale answered that with how the hijinks were Kakushi's idealized memories of the happy times before life figuratively hit him like a ton of bricks (and later on, literally with a ton of manga). Including the OP and ED everything was a treat to look at.

One thing I didn't fully understand, why would Hime's grandfather harbour animosity towards Kakushi because of his family background? Is it a cultural thing? I don't quite get why he would be such a dick to his son-in-law because his daughter married into a family of Kabuki actors. If anything, that sounds pretty neat!

Kakushi was also a manga artist while the grandfather was a """real""" artist? Maybe that's the reason. I remember that in one episode mr grandpa asked Kakushi if he'd let Hime date a mangaka and Kakushi replied that no way in hell or sth
