To me it was like watching kitten videos on YouTube, for the most part. I would certainly have appreciated a bit more than what we got, both in terms of variance and a sense of progression.

 

Speaking of which, that's why I consider it a "slice of nothing" series more than a "slice of life" one. Aside from a couple of episodes, I never got the feeling that anything was progressing. Contrast with Aria, where it felt like the girls were progressing in their quests to become ace gondoliers, and every time they reached a milestone it actually felt like they had earned it. Not sure if I'm the only person who cares about such distinctions in their moe anime, but there you go

I actually think that "slice of nothing" is perfect to describe it.

Do you think we can fold our old DWT forums into this too, Fred? Or would that be better kept as its own thing?

Well, I figure it'd be nifty to have both in one place, if we're overhauling things anyway. It *is* related to anime, plus there is a new official Spice and Wolf project going on, so it could kill two birds with one stone.

Sounds good to me but how do you want to go about it?

I don't think I can say much without knowing more about how the overhaul is already being planned... I guess we can chat about it on TeamSpeak if you've got some time? Really all we'd probably want is a thread or other way to share info on the translations, and maybe a similar sub-thread for them to discuss them if they'd like. If possible, also a mailing list we could send notices to those who want to be notified when a release happens?

Friendly stalking I'm sure

so, as i continue to watch the seven deadly sins... is it just me or does it feel like it's rushed?  i'm not getting nearly enough exposition for me to care about certain characters or events. and the battles... some of them feel 'off'. i'll see how it'll turn out as i'm almost done, but i think i'm seeing a fatal flaw to this adaptation..

I believe it's the 1st season of an anime with more seasons, maybe that explains some shit?

 

 

Ima finish watching Boku Dake ga inai machi. I watched the 1st episode and i liked it, but life happened and never continued.

The Sacred Star of Milos

Oh yeah, anime and manga... let's see, what have I watched/read lately....

 

Rinne S2 (5). so-so.
This was a laid-back ep that had three parts to it, surprisingly. It felt more like DVD specials they decided to pad the series out with. Thankfully they were pretty decent sketches, and as usual the deadpan delivery of the over-the-top jokes was a chuckle-worthy combination. Especially Masato's entrance and his demon army summons.

 

Sansha Sanyou (5). decent.
This ep filled time pretty well, despite not doing much that we haven't already seen. And yet, it does take a skilled hand to pull this off without it feeling repetitive or tiresome, so I'll give them that. Involving the entire cast and showing how they bounce off one another was a nice touch, especially how they demonstrated everyone's "place in the pack" and how much the show loves its body language. A couple parts were a bit too hackneyed for my tastes, but it worked as a whole.

 

Space Patrol Luluco (6). decent.
The Samurai Pizza Cats-esque launch gun in this episode was cute. As for the rest, it was just the right kind of silly nonsense to put a smile on my face. I usually like these FLCL-esque "what the hell is going on" shows. I like the little bits of goofy animation they're putting in here, like when the city was folded up into a box to be delivered.

 

Girl Meets Bear (6). awkward.
Wow, this show is odd. I'm not even sure whether it's supposed to be a comedy. At first it felt like they were peeling back the layers to reveal that Machi is actually a traumatized little girl with a severe anxiety disorder, who wants to leave home because even the people around her are jackasses about it. Seriously, Natsu? Getting mad at her for having a panic attack that you instigated? And what's with Yoshio, who knew it was too much for her, yet still took her to the mall and tried pushing her into a store while she was having an obvious panic attack? Yikes. And this after an episode where she was freaking out while an older girl was basically bullying her for freaking out. Then in the last few minutes it felt like they didn't know how to end it and just decided to try to get out of jail free. I can't help but wonder if they know how this show is coming across at times.

 

My Hero Academia (6). decent.
Not too bad. With the plot having settled down a bit there's less room for plotholes and awkward scripting. This episode may have been all setup, and it wasn't particularly well animated, but it certainly did the trick. They're characterizing the other characters more, keeping it moving, and managing to save a lot of budget (hopefully for the next arc after this one). Aside from their problem of not really being able to give their "villains" clear motivations for their villainy, this seems like it'll be able to at least do the manga relative justice without just being fanservice junk. Still a shame they aren't taking more risks, but I guess if that's the price to pay for it being an okay series, then I'll suck it up.

 

Tomo-chan's a Girl! manga (c323-325). so-so.
This is a kinda disappointing place to go on hiatus, but if they need a breather to come up with better material, then I'm all for it.

 

Actually, I'm... manga (c123). good.
This was a good chapter for character-based humor. It was pretty on-the-nose stuff, but it all fit together nicely into a comedy ball of sorts. Then the ball exploded, like that weird grenade-thing stuffed into Oka's mouth. I was of course expecting this twist (and that it's also another red herring) but I just hope it's part of some good character development for super pervert. It might also make for a very fun set of ideas for ninja girl. After all, Shiho isn't just one personality.

 

Otoyomegatari manga (c55). decent.
It's kinda nice to see them taking the slower burn with Pariya here, though I hope they make build up some momentum as they do so. There are only so many ways these stories tend to go, after all, so it's always annoying to not feel like the payoff was worth the trip. With luck there will be enough to balance out her crippling anxiety at least. So far, it's half-decent, if a bit contrived.
