I felt sympathy towards Tanaka's way of life in the first episode because I thought he was chill, but I was mistaken. He's incorrigibly lazy. Guy's starting to get on my nerves now, haha.

Kobayashi, on the other hand, is awesome. And he knows what's up.

This was another enjoyable episode. I have a suspicion I'm enjoying this more than my fellow backlog season companions for obvious reasons, but even putting the newsroom theme aside, the show's still pretty nice. The visuals are pretty basic, but the interactions between characters are entertaining to watch because they feel real.

I'm just left wondering for how long Hiro will stay in her meaningless relationship.
 
Great write up. Triggers a bit of nostalgia. Reminds me I that I never finished those last few episodes of Basilisk.
I've heard good things about Basilisk recently, so I've been thinking about looking into it in the future.

Irony of ironies, I had to spend a lot of time editing/trimming down my post because it was over the character limit. Ninja Scroll subconsciously influenced me.

They know who they are.
Hello, I am a monster who has not seen Castle in the Sky or Nausicaa and gave up after 20 minutes of Grave of the Fireflies. Granted that was more due to fact that the disc I was watching it on decided to have a fit and break but still.

Gah, this weekend I was supposed to finish AMG and DTB, but stupid K-ON!! latched its claws into me. Oh well. I'm finishing all three of these shows before I move on, though. Not too hard, considering I only have three or so episodes of the former two shows to watch anyway.

All great shows. I was thumbing through DTB manga at the bookstore and first impression was that the anime did the better job. Have you seen Leon: The Professional? More, like season two tho.

He doesn't have it anymore, but at the time it was.

"Everything is incest to me"

He saw incest in anime where there wasn't any and was graced with the tag for a little bit, which is ironic because incest is all over the place now.

ABF could see the future? Truly a shame we've lost him.

Where is he now? I miss his Lego Knight, long posts and N64 trivia. Is he still in Saki heaven?

But I can see why he didn't want that tag. I once mention how my tag had the word "bitches" in it because I know my mother hates the word (I can't even remember how the subject of a GAF tag came up with my family) .She insisted I asked for its removal. No way I'm asking for it to be removed since I'd never get a new one... unless I change my name and get the rubbish "Formally BGBW" tag.

Anyone remember watching Courage the Cowardly dog here? Because I couldn't help but have flashbacks while watching the scene with the headless chickens.

Anyway, Mediator continues to be a great character with her reactions (or lack there of) to all the stuff around her. Favorite scene was definitely when she pulled out the knife at the end of the speech. Her hair having a mind of its own was weird but not entirely surprising. The Assistant is starting to grow on me especially after the causing the chickens to kill themselves.

So is the little sister a yandere? Because she'll be an instant fave of mine if she is

Plotwise, it looks like its moving forward but not a lot. It was nice seeing Hanakawa again, not a fan of the short hair but I'll guess I'll have to get used to it. Shinobu talking was weird at first (I don't remember her talking in Bake), but any misgivings I had about her were squashed after the bath scene (A+). Not particulary caring about Karen so far but I am starting to like Kaiki.

Huh.

Thankfully this show's getting more (and not less) interesting the more characters they add to the mix. Maou + Yuusha = boring. Maou + Yuusha + Onna Kishi = ... Not so boring! Hopefully the other two companions will join the fun soon too.

I don't mind the contrast between the characters and the (nice) backgrounds that some people mentioned as a problem before in this thread. I can't even say I'm disturbed by the CGI. I mean, yeah, sometimes the walking models weird me out, but then there's scenes like the one with the compass in this episode in which they use such techniques smoothly.

I've officially given up on the idea of dropping this show. The economics (actual economics, not that economics) aspect is really fun. Bye bye Senran Kagura instead!

The ED wows me every week.

oh for fuck's sake at the armor explanation. At least there's just enough comedy/action to keep me going past the fanservice that I'm not really enjoying. Oda Nobuna was similar in that regard.

Nah, that's a film about child prostitution. It's a kids film.

Don't be getting all cheeky about Spirited Away ya hear. One of my favourite films.

A little shout out to my local cinema who had the sense to show the japanese dub with English subs. I listened to about five minutes of the American dub before switching it off. Whoever they got to play Chihiro was appalling. What a terrible voice.

Good thing you never watched Lilo & Stitch then.

Yeah... that was Disney recycling their talent.
