Want to see me squirm? Put in the sound of someone's bone breaking and their agony as it happens. That expression she made as her arm was broken had me gritting my teeth.

The Ninja infiltration went as well as anticipated. Katsura made for a great curry ninja.

Thought it was hilarious that Sadaharu was trolling Kagura over her jump popularity poll seventh place finish.

The game of catch to cure Sadaharu was perfect.

Geeze...thank god I don't want to watch those type of show now. I guess my one is from Divergence Eve when one of the character got the bad ending of her life. Not too keen to remember about this now.

Sigh, you guys are making me want to pick up Made in Abyss now. Not into gore, but it doesn't seem to fit the artstyle of the show, which is intriguing.

Well, Made in Abyss episode 12 is kind of the new Makoda episode 3, except with a whole lot more foreshadowing (and visible gore).

Now I want to see to compare which is worse, this or that scene in the movie Misery.

Made in Abyss 10 - Little surprised at all the shocked reactions. I kinda felt like the series had done plenty of hinting that shit like this could totally happen. Chekhov's gun and all that. Based on the comments from earlier I expected way worse.

Not surprised in the slightest, but doesn't mean it wasn't visceral as fuck nonetheless.

Bojack Horseman S4 1-12 FIN

Per the usual, jesus christ @ everything. That last scene was like the sun breaking through the clouds though.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid 12

Never thought they'd actually get back to Kobayashi's repressed sense of unhappiness like that. Figured it was just a gag to kick things off. Also appreciated how thematically in line the skits were with the main plot this episode. They're probably normally that way but I felt it really stood out this time.

Sekai no Yami Zukan 10

Best realization of the show's concept. Using real eyes was a great decision and it didn't hurt the mask's premise was a strong foundation to build the story on.
 
Made In Abyss 10

I was hoping the anime would finally become a high risk high stakes anime but it seems unable to do that. I would think itd make more sense to cause all the injury and hurt to Reg and eventually leave her with a severely broken or even immobile Reg for the story, cause its not like Riko, the main character would die or succumb to something truly tragic.
 
Bahamuto Episode 21

WHat? Did the series change writers or something, that was pretty bad episode.
Mugaro should not have died like that, he could have came back and let Alessand think that he had killed him. Everyone has already grieved before, even Azazel,
Azazel deserves happiness, now he wont get nothing at the end of the story. He'll be the biggest loser no matter the outcome.

Azazel & Lucifer ending though, lol.

I really wish writers would understand that making the main character too stupid is just as bad as making them too smart, if not worse.

Made in Abyss and Little Witch Academia could have severely benefited from that knowledge.

What the fuck.
 
Altair Record of Battles Episode 9

The brothers in battle was actually good, and then the courtyard scene with Mahmut and co was actually exciting, I didnt think that was how they would go through with it, but it was fun.

I wish the debate scene was a bit longer, it was intense too.

Chronos Ruler Episode 10

Is he the final boss?? Still the whole thing with experimenting on these dead townsfolk and killing them over and over to assess shota vikto reactions was cruel and awful. I hope present vikto does something.

By the way, Riko's VA did a great job. A great job at making me feel like shit. She really nailed every aspect of that performance.

The scene itself was really well done, I thought. Reg had a great performance too.

However it suffers in the context of the rest of the story. The fact that Riko is so useless, and the fact that the show hasn't really done enough to make me care about her at all lessens the impact. The fact that Riko
didn't lose the hand
was also a bit of a cop-out.

It is still impactful because she's a little kid, and they really went all in. But if Riko was a better character, that moment would have been elevated.

Still a good show, but the brain-dead MC puts a damper on things.

What the fuck.

And, as episode 10 shows, they needn't be written as bumbling idiots to get into trouble because—SHOCKING NEWS—they venture through a monstrously dangerous place and are in way over their heads. It's so infuriating when our characters are stuck in that sort of world and the writers still can't come up with proper circumstances for shit to go down.

Well, episode 9 was largely anime-original so I hope it won't happen again.

I certainly appreciated that today's episode's encounter overwhelmed them because it showed unprecedented intelligence and attributes/strength. Riko and Reg cannot even really be blamed it snuck up on them, given its apparently intelligent approach and the steamy location.

Made in Abyss Episode 10

Man that was hard to watch. I'm glad the show is finally worth watching again, but jeez.


Gamers! Episodes 1-2

I fucking love this show! There is something just earnestly organic about it. It was a great palate cleanser and I had a smile on my face throughout both episodes.

Bahamut Virgin Soul - Episode 21

Wow. I'll say the show totally justified the 2-cours runtime by being able to sell the emotions in this episode. The last 3 episodes might be brutal.

Scandal in the Vatican 10

Oh, so now you want to play by the rules, show.

Another set-up episode, kinda boring to be honest. At least they confirmed
the Jester is Father Julia. I wonder if the illuminati are involved.

There's also 'From the New World' (Shin Sekai Yori). Has some of the best world building and well thought through plot. Can't compare in production values to Dennou Coil but the strong art direction allows it to shine often nevertheless.

It's ED is also widely regarded as one of the best out there.

I'm actually walking Shinsekai Yori now. I'd say it's enjoyable, and above mediocre in terms of production values and such, but it feels sort of weird. The MC's motivations sometimes felt somewhat incoherent, or "off" (As in, didn't flow very smoothly.). Ie; The MC seemed to care very much about something, and then later on, a different character adopted that stance, and the MC tried to talk them out of it.

And the, uh, "intimate" scenes..
