Hitsugime no Chaika
By Ichirou Sakaki, author of Scrapped Princess and Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica.
I'm not attacking this work, because I know nothing about it, but it looks like a product of a very specific business cycle. As in, someone wanted to make a work that would appeal to otaku and therefore they took another of popular tropes and assembled them together to form a property. That's rarely the right way to go about doing anything.

Maybe I'm completely wrong, of course.

Scrapped Princess was excellent. Polyphonica was interesting but pretty mediocre. Im sure you guys know that infamous van chase. QUALITY.

Well, its a way to make money.

More loli moe snipers?!

Moyashimon Returns 11 (END):

Man, this whole arc really exceeded expectations. Devoting the entire second half of the series to
something that ditches half of the cast and places the other half in a setting about as far-removed from the university as they could get
was gutsy, and it mostly paid off. Granted, I had a couple of issues with the
Paris
arc--
Marie
was a fairly unrealistic character and several goals that Tadayasu and co. were struggling to achieve serendipitously happened in her presence, but aside from simply being extremely entertaining, this storyline did such an amazing job of maturing Tadayasu and Hasegawa as characters and lifting Misato and Kawahama out of joke status that the small issues aren't particularly worth mentioning.

Overall, Moyashimon Returns gets the award for most improved of the season. I was discouraged by the bad character designs, inartful infodump, bad pacing and lifeless direction of the first episode like everyone else, but once the second season narrative begins to come into its own and isn't simply a messy splicing of reintroductions and random microbe factoids into the material, the character chemistry and comedy of the original take over again and restore things to their due enjoyability in short order. Hell, we even get another amazing
festival episode
like the original.

There's a greater emphasis on the distillation of alcohol in this season which may disappoint those who enjoyed the more balanced perspective on agriscience present in the first season, but this season's preoccupation with spirits ultimately becomes key to Tadayasu's growth and resolve as a future sake brewer which should at least be some retroactive consolation for anyone missing the Surstromming antics and whatnot from the first season. Overall, the balance between fun character interaction, serious character interaction, and microbe stuff ended up being just right.

A very special fuck you goes out to Kodansha for canceling the English releases of the manga after absorbing Del Rey.
HEY MAN IT CAN HAPPEN YOU SHUT UP YOU POOPY HEAD

That's because Community has a limitless supply of MAX REPEL. Just ask GAF!

TTGL Movie 2


So pretty~

The
Time-skip arc was a lot better condensed into 2 hours of incredible mecha animation, even though I still dislike the conclusion

I'm surprised I don't see this movie mentioned more often whenever there's a discussion about sakuga and animation and what not, since everything after they
went into space
was absolutely incredible.

So, I know we've all praised [Hyouka] - 21 to high heaven and all, but it's pretty clear that KyoAni are actually hacks. As we can see from this image which takes place in the past:

and these images which take place in the present:

neither Oreki or Satoshi have changed their outfits despite the shots being a whole year apart. KyoAni are lazy confirmed. If it's boy's clothes they just aren't interested.

I dunno about you folks, but I have about four winter coats and a variety of scarves. Don't make excuses for them!

Oh, I remember reading the first chapter of the Hitsugime no Chaika thing's manga a while back. It was horrible and I thought to myself, 'I guess the anime is coming soon.'

Should be pretty terrible.

One jacket used October to May, one winter hoodie to make myself blend in when I'm in the wrong part of town. That's it for me.

Marie, totes. I don't get off to crossdressing, lol.

Well, I'm under the impression that England has several horrifying forms of precipitation not found anywhere else in the world and each necessitating its own specific variety of protective garment so your exception may be beyond your control.

If I had a jacket as fashionable as Oreki's get-up I probably wouldn't need to upgrade very often, I suppose.

Heck, even the girls are wearing the same outfits as the previous year. Outrageous

Outrageous. What would make you think such a thing?

I don't get it. You need a couple of jackets for autumn, one light and one medium, as well as a heavy jacket for winter and perhaps a super-heavy reserve jacket in case you need to walk through a blizzard or snowstorm. At least.

Maturity, bitches.
You say that but I see blokes walking around in a tshirt in the middle of winter. Mind you these are the blokes you probably don't want to walk past incase they start lecturing you on mad topics like how moe killing the industry while they swig some White Lightning.

Oh, so you've experienced the material first hand. As it has an incest tag, does it perhaps feature a sister waking up her brother "in the usual way"?

I have a mid-weight jacket that I wear most of the time, a leather jacket that I wear for nicer occasions, a parka for if I'm going skiing or it's just ridiculously cold, and an old parka that I haven't gotten rid of yet. One coat is perfectly workable depending on what you wear with it...

Yeah but it's the same time of year in both of those pictures so lighter clothing wouldn't come into play.

Here in Ohio you just kill a deer and curl up in its entrails for warmth if weather gets out of hand. For everything else, one jacket.

Not even incest will repel me from Yandere.

Everyone knows that boys wear the same coat until they disintigrate.
