But of course, after Wonzo posted about it I knew I had to witness this masterpiece first hand and yes it is pretty self avatar quote worthy at times but frankly, it's so dumb it becomes a mockery of itself which if what I read about the original source is true was the intent anyway.

Not a lot to say today because sleepy. But it was another great episode.
I like how competent the villains are this season.

Queen frozen at the north pole or wherever indicates that she is neither Regina nor Ai. That's kind of interesting. She's definitely still Ace, though.
Doki Doki! Precure 19
Just like when Smile did this, it's all about cheating and counter-cheating. Unless you're Mana, who can kick a soccer ball like Kamen Rider Wizard, because she is the next queen of the world and all who inhabit it. The MotW kinda reminded me of those coin purse monsters in Mario Bros. I was waiting for somebody to ground pound it. Also amazed that Ai, despite not being old enough to speak, can both serve as a ref for a dodgeball game (if you can dodge a wrench...) and actively participate in the cheating by maximizing a bowling ball's potential to take down like, 100 pins.
Loved seeing Regina and Makopi act all defensive. And speaking of defense, Alice isn't quite up to Komachi levels yet, but she did use her shield powers to her best. And her ability to turn a bowling ball into a missile. (That's the first time I've ever seen co-op bowling.) But the most interesting parts came near the end. Regina got all the Royal Crystals together, and they did.... something.

Ai is NOT the Queen's reincarnation, since she's frozen like a caveman way up north. And I was so certain of that theory, too. Is she Ace? Or is it still going to be Regina? I please hope it's Regina.

I've only gotten through the Phantom Blood part of the new series, but I've heard people call parts of the show really good, but also pretty disappointing because some action scenes are just pictures that pan across the screen. Is that true?
It's true that the show as a whole is seriously lacking in animation, but I wouldn't call it disappointing. The studio has managed to make it look great with what little animation it has, to the point where the low production values never really even bothered me. If you've enjoyed the beginning parts, I very much doubt you'll fail to enjoy the rest. It's a great show.

Also, about Attack on Titan, how many chapters of the manga are they adapting per episode? A lot of the dialogue in here feels like it serves no purpose but to fill the screen time. Not a lot happened in episode ten.
There's not a sudden jump in animation quality from Phantom Blood to Battle Tendency, if that's what you are asking. What you see is what this cartoon is (aside from episode 20, natch).

I am treated to post-OP chillness with boobs and stretching everywhere. And now, upon retrospect, I ask: why?
Touching little montage through time. I think I need to find the soundtrack sometime.
Aww, try again later, Tomoya. Nagisa is really just too hard on herself, but it's just so tragically adorable.
true enough, what did you give it as a score?

It's tolerable, and it also helps that the art is consistently good, unlike a certain currently popular show.
Thanks for the great reply!
True, but I haven't watched all of it. It would also not be something to tribute him for lol. I think you're broadly correct though, given that there isn't that big of a sample size of this guy's work
This is an excellent point. The construction of space is a recurrent theme for him.
Yeah, I didn't intend "naturalism" as in the 19th century artistic movement sense. I meant more the modernist interpretation, in that it represents how things are felt/perceived rather than the assumption of some Platonic, neutral conception of nature.
Yeah "clashing" is probably a better word there. As you point out, my word choice was kind of iffy throughout this. Huffing the fumes of hyperbole can do that
Yeah from a storytelling POV it's very obscure. Visually, however, despite the multiple exposure effect it used for ghostliness, it didn't conform to the style of most horror.
But that ambiguity during the storylines themselves is what gives it such a great atmosphere.
I probably should've clarified I was referring more to the visual style/aesthetics. The style of direction doesn't change with each patient to provide a means of experiencing their condition, outside of a few gags. In that sense, while it's a show about psychology and deals with psychological themes, I don't think it's a window into psychological illness or conveys the experience all that well. Probably a better way to describe it would be it's a show about being a psychologist, and Irabu is the audience insert.
It's not cliched in Trapeze, but there is a tendency, even among good shows, to force a dramatic climax by ramping up the seriousness when it doesn't need to (Hyouka avoided this problem). Utena and Eva are the most notable examples. For the record I really liked the ending of Trapeze, and Utena and Eva. It's not bad on face.
Magical realism is an imprecise as fuck term, but I think, excluding the last 4 episodes, the alien/secret organization stuff is just simply not featured that much. Nor did it need to be.
"Fairly standard" in concept. It's execution is outstanding and a great representation of social anxiety. But to me it felt less audacious when compared to Mononoke/Trapeze
That was a pejorative, since I really don't like Wagner and think his aesthetic theory is junk. This is probably a bigger discussion than the scope of anime tho so maybe we should leave it at that.
To an extent, yeah, but there are relative degrees of originality. I prefer Nakamura's well-wrought aesthetic styles over the average Shaft work which combines things for the sake of combining things. Nakamura's shows have extreme attention to detail for an anime and analyzing them from a visual arts perspective seems more fruitful than analyzing them from a film perspective.

So it's an episode about tennis. Lina plays tennis to humiliate Martina and vice versa, meanwhile, apparently there's a clue about the Clair Bible in it for the winner. At least, that's what Xellos claims, and why these people are continuing to trust Xellos is beyond me. It can only be because
Still, it was a funny episode. Poor Zel. Don't frown, Zel! Amelia likes you even if you're a demon-golem hybrid!

Why did you leave out his best series?
I still maintain the body + cowl makes Cars look like he's wearing an inflatable body suit. His ass isn't even fully inflated.
It really is the most fun show this season. The comedic timing is perfect.

Attack on Titan 10:
Armin is awesome. He's great with words. It's a big contrast going from him talking to Captain Wellman, who is just obnoxious at every turn. This episode didn't necessarily have a lot of action, but it was important both for the plot and for Armin's development. It felt like a much more consistent episode than the previous two did.
This episode covered up through the first few pages of Chapter 12 (but some of the earlier material was taken from flashbacks that come later on in the manga). They've been going at a pretty good pace (remember this is a monthly manga, so chapters are about 45 pages long). This whole bit was long and talky in the manga, too.

There are OVAs for Battle Tendency? I only knew about the Stardust Crusaders stuff. I'll have to check that out!I hope you jump into the 93 OVAs once you are done. Battle Tendency deserved that budget.
No, the ovas are all Stardust Crusaders. He means that Battle Tendency, well, deserved such attention.

Bleach 15 - 16 (neon alley)
I miss the days when Number One would play litrally every episode and instrumental too, cant remember if I said that last week but it still follows this week as well both episodes and just for a variety of characters. Ichigo v Renji was so intense considering their power levels but then that scene when Renji surprises him. I miss retro bleach.
Also for Jinta, if Kubo doesnt give him backstory and then for the other classmates, if Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro, Mr. Hat and Clogs, Yoruichi and co arent relevant at all for the final arc, huge crime for neglecting them

I've taken to eating lemon sorbet while watching this anime. It's sour and cold, and at times I feel like it's physically hurting the inside of my mouth and throat, but at the same time it's sweet and delicious. It's all in a big block that's surprisingly difficult to cut into manageable pieces with my spoon, because it slips and slides all over the goddamn place and slowly deforms into misshapen chunks. But at the same time, it forms a sickly puddle of sharp-tasting juice that I can drink down and revel in the sheer overpowering flavour.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet 6:
So much T & A this episode. It was really weird, and I don't know that it was really helpful in any way.
This episode continued the relaxing feeling that this show has given me so far. There was some great comedy, and some really nice character interactions. I loved the scene in the second half of the episode where
A big point over the previous few episodes has been how Ledo is out of place and unfamiliar with the way things work, and also his lack of understanding when it comes to desire. His scenes with Pinion (in anime's budding bromance of 2013) both underlined this, and also showed the beginning of a change for him.

Ledo was playing the flute and talked with Amy, and then asked her to dance. While the earlier dance scene felt gratuitous, this scene felt very personal and sweet. It was just a very nice character moment for both of them.
By the end of the episode, Ledo has decided that he wants to do salvage work, and has finally grasped the concept of having his own desires. Even as Chamber tells him that the things he's doing aren't necessary and he should just remain on standby, Ledo begins to posses his own agency and comes into control of himself, perhaps for the first time in his life. Tragically, just as he's beginning to posses these desires and come to peace with this new way of life, the Hideauze show up and all of his soldier instinct bubbles right back.
