sharkmafia posted:The boat arc is rad but really i think spy x family has good arcs in general thing is other than the intro and enter the school arc, this is like the first real arc. everything else has been episodic to the point you think this was a 4koma series.

Honestly, Spy x Family is one of the series that would probably be better adapted as an old-school endless, (semi-) episodic show like Detective Conan, or One Piece rather than using the usual seasonal model.

Spy x Family also does chapters biweekly so that wouldn't work for several reasons.

anyways i finished SHYsymbolic posted:finished up the last two episodes. the resolution for the Pepesha arc stuck the landing imo, and i liked the build-up for season 2. the cameos of the other villains upcoming & seeing if they also were/are part of the other heroes' lives has me pretty hype.

Series I kept up with: Spy X Fam - Great and everyone's said what I'd say Frieren - Same Apothecary Diaries - As above. SHY - I have the same criticisms as other people have about the pacing being less than ideal. It's a fun magical girl series though and the Pepesha arc is basically the albatross around its neck. Hoshikuzu Telepath - It's still going and I think I might be able to pull myself to finish it out. The drama is way more pronounced in the series and that's great. But it also makes it more apparent than the manga that I'm not as attached to these characters compared to other KRR series. 100 Girlfriends - I cam into this thinking it would be really dumb and trashy and it kinda was, but in the best ways. It's a comedy that leans so hard into its premise and revels in the absurdity of it and is mostly tasteful about some of the more typical harem romcom tropes. Hikikomari Monmon - This is the really dumb stuff. Real junk food anime with an idiot MC just stumbling their way into positions of importance and being the wrong combination of prideful and dumb to handle it properly or weasel out of it. Yeah, there's fanservice and the MC starts accruing her own lesbian harem for laughs. I Favor the Villainess - Also Gay as hell. It's less trashy than the above series and does occasionally take itself seriously. It does run through some of the otome isekai tropes with its own spin, but it executes them well. Though I'd say the last arc felt like it was being stretched a bit too long for the drama and that they probably couldn't fit anything else from the source material in. Ikkenaikyo - A light and silly fantasy romcom. No world ending stake. No demon lords (okay, there's one, sorta) or tyrannical kings. Just a cast aside princess who's way too nice for her own good learning how to stand up for herself a little and about the world of kindness that she never had a chance to experience before. S-Rank Musume - It's a fantasy series that doesn't have its own special gimmick all things considered, but it hits a lot of the right notes a dad-anime hits with the perk that it's not devolving into setting up the dad and his adopted daughter together. The stakes aren't too high and it doesn't dig in too deep in the overarching plot, but the characters and story are enjoyable. Shame about the budget though. Dropped series Idolm@ster - Couldn't make it through the 3ep test. The idols involved just didn't grab me and of course it doesn't help that these series tend to pick up the less quirky idols as their main ones. Bullbuster - The concept is cool, but the execution is a bit to be desired. The main character didn't hook me and the mecha action wasn't all that great. Under Ninja - Others mentioned the non-linear plotting as something that took them out of it and I felt like I was more on board with it than others. That said, with all of the series I was already watching, this one just sorta fell by the wayside more because of my own personal tastes than as an actual flaw of the series. Series on the backlog Undead Unluck - It was only my list to pick up, but I just never got around to starting so it goes on the backlog.

Arbite posted:Was that ancient site in Pluto supposed to be the Valley of the Temples? I think it's meant to be the Parthenon since Hercules is Greek and it appears to be right across the sea from where Brando fights Pluto, Brando being Turkish. It would be the kind of cynical move you'd expect to build a big statue commemorating Hercules's exploits atop a world heritage site.

That makes some sense, I suppose Agrigento also being right on the coast and having a temple to Heracles made me think that might be it (that and visiting there this summer).

A Returner's Magic Should Be Special 12 this filler extending the fight for the final episode for no reason.. instead of the fight ending after he instant gravity spells the guy originally in the source material, they give the bad guy some random powerup. very fillerish, before when the MC has no trouble instant nullifying magic, he's just not able to do it now for some reason and takes some hits for no reason

While I didn't hate Otona Precure it does feel like it wasted its potential both with reusing Yes footage/dealing the cast as Cures and not dealing deeper with some of the themes it set up. It struck me during the finale that it felt like an All Stars movie stretched out to one cour, complete with a scene you'd expect the miracle lights to show up I was super amused at at the Coco/Nozomi wedding photo. Just embrace the weirdness/messy nature of it Also 100% Saki and Mai are gonna end up ditching their spouses to live together. Just a dumb self forced error

it was insane when sakis final scene at the airport did not feature, her husband, but did feature, mai. was her husband just not there. there were a few things i liked (bunbee yelling that this 'wasnt the time to cheer the precures on, but do something yourself,' nozomis refrain that this 'wasnt a story about a faraway country, or a stranger," but the shows view of environmental issues was extremely childish, as shown by stuff like showing a guy leaving his bathroom light on. like, yeah, that guy leaving his bathroom light on all night is wasting power, but how much power do you think NFTs (something Toei has an ongoing project of, DenDekaDen) wastes comparatively. The ending with some random punks littering is kind of a cool 'has anyone really learned anything,' but the show's absolutely terrified of acknowledging corporations and government as the real culprits of environmental issues, with the average individual power's to change those being limited. They touch on it very occasionally, but Rin going 'well what if we dont use conflict minerals in our jewelry' and everyone going 'my god... i never thought of that' was insane. There's points where it even plays like self-parody. It feels like gatchaman crowds for pre-verbal children. But all the emotional stuff relies on you having knowledge of a nearly 20 year old precure series. So I don't know who its for.

also milks sudden turn into being prime minister of the palmier kingdom and ending the monarchy is cool, but it happens in the literal last four minutes of the episode and they do not have her talk to coco, the king, about it, so iunno how the hell that is going to get resolved. will the palmier kingdom have a bloody civil war?

The final relationship chart for 100 Girlfriends is going to be more complex than the dialog trees in Baulder's Gate 3.

Which is especially weird since this was supposed to be a show aimed at the more adult fanbase (and while it was cool to see them and I wish we’d gotten to meet them as adults outside of some promotional artwork I’m not entirely sure what the point of dragging the Futari team into this at the very end was). Though at least the Kiryuu sisters got probably the most focus they’ve had since Splash Star Sort of curious how the upcoming Maho Girls sequel is going to work now SatoshiMiwa posted:While I didn't hate Otona Precure it does feel like it wasted its potential both with reusing Yes footage/dealing the cast as Cures and not dealing deeper with some of the themes it set up.

i liked otona but definitely cooled on it the more it went on. but honestly most of my issues with it are basically just standard precure issues aside from the awful cg blob monsters. I do think the decision to bring in the splash stars was not a good one, just diluted the story way too much, and also their focus episodes were like the weakest character focus episodes by a decent amount. Would have much rather gotten an actual Kurumi episode instead. also it's hosed up they didn't bring masuko back at all

i didnt try otona but ive definitely cooled on hirogaru a lot in the second half. i liked the mashiro and battamonda episodes but otherwise nothing else in the past like 20 weeks has been memorable.

Yeah it felt like it probably should of just focused on the concept of fulfilling Dreams not equaling happiness cause that's where the shows was the strongest and not tried to do Environmental issues cause it just split the focus and was surface level at best. Hell probably the best episode was the Kurumi/Karen episode cause it was more along those lines (and also had hammered Kurumi) Endorph posted:also milks sudden turn into being prime minister of the palmier kingdom and ending the monarchy is cool, but it happens in the literal last four minutes of the episode and they do not have her talk to coco, the king, about it, so iunno how the hell that is going to get resolved. will the palmier kingdom have a bloody civil war? That was super amusing and I kinda of wish the series was that TNH

Toppling the monarchy at about the same time Nozomi technically becomes the new queen feels like a very Milk thing for her to do however

Otona Precure really disappointed me because it had a strong start but once it settled into its episodic structure it focused so hard on hitting its broad narrative beats it barely had any opportunity to actually explore any of its emotions or ideas anymore. And after the difficult ambivalence of Nozomi's story with her student the successive conflicts felt too facile, wrapped up too tidily. It ends up feeling kind of half-baked, almost like a proof of concept of a show.

i assume the mahogirls sequel will be more normal since it seems much more like a direct, 'the continuing adventures of' rather than a radical paradigm shift

Actually I'm really hoping the Maho girls sequel deals with the time when Mirai was on her own cause the was probably the best single episode of Maho girls. Just a tone Precure normally doesn't go for

Either way I’m hoping we start getting some news regarding that fairly soon Provided they were handled decently I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more Precure sequel shows in the future as well Larryb fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Dec 24, 2023 |
