Tsurezure Children, Episode 8 -
Was not expecting a flash step battle to happen. Another pretty good episode. Comedy Couple is one of my favorite couples in the series so seeing them fail again to kiss was pretty amusing.
Still not a fan of the Student Council President. Feels like all his segments involves him redpilling his girlfriend.

New Game!! got a new ending.
It doesn't look like it's just for this week.
I know this isn't the case, but my headcanon is going to be that no one liked the old one so they made something else.

I'm hoping there's a season 2 to cover the couples that didn't make this adaptation.

Watched all of Barakamon yesterday, it was very good.
And now due to me playing a bunch of Super Robot Wars V, I'm watching Shin Mazinger.
Also planning to watch Getter Robo Armageddon and Ushio And Tora.
And I may regret this, but what is the watch order for Monogatari? I've only seen 5 or so eps of Bake back when it was newish, so I'm really behind.

Is there a meta narrative I am to expect to back the lead character design contrasting with the less than prominent characters? Hey, I like moe as much as the next guy but this contrast is not something I can't say I'm particularly a fan of. It makes sense to signify the spy-lie theme that this episode reverberates, things aren't what they seem or sound but that still feels like a bit of a stretch.
I love the action bits but I wish it was a bit more relaxed during the more silent moments. The TV length probably doesn't help out in achieving that. It feels like it was cut down as much as possible.
I like the visual style in general but the color scheme at times feels washed out due to its use of lighting. It can be a bit distracting and at worst even soil the mood it needs at times.
Looking forward to watch more but at least I can get some context on the discussions that happen here on this show.
[struggling to keep myself from commenting on this bit]
I should be more patient until you get to those episodes.

We are brothers in arms, her battles are my battles.
Also, from what I understand, NP skipping wouldn't work in the current engine. They would have to recalculate how damage and hit detection work in the engine and possibly redo it from scratch.
Also this.

Tsurezure Children ep.8
This show puts cotton candy and pixie sticks to shame. Well, except pres., lol
Finally finished Atom the beginning. It was fine. Pinching noses till the end. A small Atom/Astro Boy silhouet in the final episode. I can live with this yeah.
And up to date with Dragon Ball Super. Hit looked great again. They've been handling the arc way better than I anticipated.
I haven't watched any of the summer anime yet haha.

The real danger in Mariah's Stand isn't that you'll die from being turned into a human magnet, it's that you'll die from embarrassment.

It's funny I have little to say about this show besides how much I fucking love it. Reaction faces and humor are always on point.

and then made an announcement of already known information a few weeks ago

They didn't shy away from showing the regressed Polnareff's private parts, huh?

Tsuredure Children is surprisingly good.
While it's a humor show, it's actually kind of rare for anime to be about couples after they've gotten together. Most of the couples are together, they just don't know what the hell they're doing.

Kind of a weird reversal of standards compared to Western cinema.

I need to see your entire anime collection you have there. Always like to see other people anime collection.

first season suffers from lack of budget(although i kind of like the more simplistic transformations of Symphogear) and doesnt hit its stride untill near the end when everything comes together. G is an exponential improvement and GX was holy shit omg wtf bbq good.

Not Joe (obviously) but if you wanna see Anime collections I'd be happy to share mine:
And now the tour! The collection is double layered, starting in the back:
I've been working to upgrade to all DVD, but somethings aren't easily, or willingly replaced, like Ai City. I did just get The Castle of Cagliostro on Bluray though, so that'll get junked at some point here. The Guyver VHS there is also a super rare bootleg of the first ever Guyver OVA. I copied it to DVD, but I keep the original bootleg all the same.
Some VHS/DVDs are things I've picked up from Video stores closing, or found in Savers and decided to keep. Hence why I have say, Blue Submarine No. 6 DVD 1 and Orphen VHS Vol. 1 and nothing of the rest.
The DVDs between Bubblegum Crisis and Code Geass are Chobits, I just flipped the reversible covers.
The flipped cover BluRay is just a BR of FFVII Advent Children.
Next to Gasaraki is a bootleg Getter Robo original series set, since there hasn't ever been an official release.
The blank DVDs are DVD rips of my VHS copies of the Original Gundam Movie Trilogy with its original western dub that never made it to DVD. There's also a Japanese copy of Miller's Report and a Japanese copy of Gundam F91, things I got before either had a Western release.
The blank DVD between Gundam Seed and Guyver is the DVD rip of the Guyver OVA VHS
The Nadesico Movie is a bootleg from before its Western Release. There's also a Japanese DVD Vol. 1 of Naruto. I think it literally has just the first episode. Kinda pissed me off when I got it on a trip to Japan in my teens.
Here I have Japanese copies of One Piece's 2nd and 3rd films, legal releases, and then what's left of my Bootlegs from before One Piece had an English release. In these they refer to Sanji as Sunkiss.... I still have the first four parts should anyone saver a 1990s/early 2000s anime Western experience
Original Outlaw Star releases, bootleg Patlabor III release, least I think its bootleg based on the box. It's subtitles are really good though.
Also here's a bunch of new acquisitions/unwatched DVDs/BluRays (not all anime, but plenty there) I haven't put in the collection yet. Only thing that's missing is HxH Set 2 and that's because my Wife is addicted to it and has it out.
Hope this was interesting! Sorry for the wall of anime!

Ah, it's nice to have Soejima storyboard and direct another full episode. He really is the most singularly interesting individual to be working on David Production's Jojo anime. I enjoy how he distorts space to reflect the emotional state of characters, warping the place they are afraid of:
Soejima has a background in CG, having handled CG direction for multiple Gonzo productions such as Last Exile and Gankutsuou before moving to David Production when they spun off. He still does CG work for things such as Diamond is Unbreakable's ED. So even when he's storyboarding for 2D animation, you can see his conception of three-dimensional space shine through the camera angles he chooses as well as how he positions characters in relation to each other. (NSFW) Of course, as seen in these examples, that three-dimensional space is not always perfectly realistic, since it bends according to the character's emotions.
The colors do the same, famously. David Production's Jojo consistently throws its colors out-of-whack at the emotional climax of encounters (at least in Stardust Crusaders and Diamond is Unbreakable - I don't remember if it's the same in the first season). Some color palettes are more successful than others, but Soejima is better than average at creating unusual color combinations that work:
I suspect that Soejima was the primary person who decided what Jojo TV's approach to color would be in his role as Visual Director of the first season - it fits with past work he's done, especially on Gankutsuou.
The Stardust Crusaders anime is more tepid at times than I would like, and the sluggish pacing doesn't help, but Soejima's episodes are always a treat.
"That particular era of anime" is two years ago! (Even if it is adapting a much older manga.)

That's a lot of Dragonball Vlad! Speaking of Dragonball...
Dragonball Super - 102
Not sure if I posted about getting into this series recently but I just picked up from the current saga and pleasently surprised how much I'm enjoying it. This episode though... I could have screencapped the whole thing, it was just downright hilarious and kept getting laughs out of me.
Probably should go back and catch up on the other saga's like Resurrection F and Dark/Black Goku saga to see if there's anything fun I missed.
