ACCA: I thought Mauve was hot in her uniform, but that dress is really something else. Sign me up for whichever faction she's with. This series is taking its time drawing out the mystery of what's going on, but I'm enjoying this. The artstyle is also growing on me a bit now.

Interviews with Monster Girls: Succubus episode! I always like Sato-sensei and it was good to see an episode focused on her.

Saga of Tanya the Evil: I hope this isn't the last we see of that mad scientist. He's a great foil for Tanya. And this god is a cheating asshole.

Mind you, guys, we have threads for Demi-chan, Tanya, Maid Dragon amd Kono Suba.

And I really should start the thread for ACCA.

I was initially following Konosuba and Kobayashi at the start of this season before deciding to watch the first episode of Demi -chan on a whim because of this thread.

Was definitely worth it since it's the anime I'm enjoying the most this season.

Demi-chan wa Kataritai has been a treat. Probably has the strongest writing too, along with Rakugo.

Other random things:

  • There are so many things to love about ACCA that I find it somewhat disappointing that the script doesn't quite sell it. A little more subtlety in storytelling would have gone a long way.
  • Yowamushi Pedal loves its off-kilter bicycle riders.
  • Hand Shakers became Boob Shakers became plain Head Shakers. My eyes are still bleeding.

Slice of moe... That doesn't sound as innocent as you probably hoped.

Youjo Senki might be the best unintentional comedy I've seen in years. The whole thing is super silly and farcical, but it's played completely straight and serious, which actually makes it way funnier than if they played it for laughs.

[up] I don't think it's unintentional.

That possibility occurred to me, yes. If that's the case, then I must applaud their restraint in maintaining the facade of seriousness and not sending comedic winks to the audience.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu episode 4 is centered on the Jugemu story, which among other things happens to be the ED of fellow rakugo-oriented anime Joshiraku. Fitting that it shows up right as we're dealing with the evolution of this storytelling art.

Also Konatsu finally gets to perform. She's so happy and I am so happy for her.

Studio Deen confirmed for killing it. Both Rakugo and Konosuba have been super strong.

I don't think the Konatsu performance was as strong as some of the best ones, when it came to showing audience reactions, but it was still a cool moment for a character who just wants to peform so badly.

[up][up] Christ Almighty, Tanya's face freaks me out. Her mouth and eyes takes up a good portion of her head. It's like she's part frog or something.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet Unless I grew it. In that case, throw it in the trash.

[up]Odds are rising that it's intentionally repulsive. She's a Chew Toy Corrupt Corporate Executive placed in a child's body by a divine curse, after all.

The art style is basically Code Geass in my opinion. Perfect for catching all of Tanya's Lulu moments in every episode as god continues to ram his holy rod of spite up her ass.

So whats the results of School Girl Strikers? Fun Kancolle type stuff or dark Madoka clone?

mwisse Since: Apr, 2009

[up] The former so far. A bit meh though.

I actually quite like it, but yeah, it's definitely not a Madoka-lite.

I was bored enough to watch a couple more episodes of Schoolgirl Strikers and the action reminds me of Gunslinger Stratos. Mostly makes me miss World Trigger, though.

Is Bang Dream worth watching? I saw a preview of the mobile game and it appeared to be a female counterpart of Band Yarouze.

[up] It's the lite version of K-on!: girl with no real goals in life enters high school and wants to do something interesting, finds a guitar in a pawn shop and wants to start a band. Decent enough but somewhat slow.

Random question: Roughly where in the manga chapter count is the 3-gatsu no Lion anime at the moment?
