Isn't that the charm though? It's very calm, slice-of-life even, with various antics by Hazama and the like, tackling on super hero tropes, and just the idea of being a hero. I mean I find it to be one of the best this season, probably along with Log Horizon or Yowamushi Pedal.

If the charm of a show is being dull, then all that means is that the show is dull.

Anyway, no. The two main leads are boring and samey, the people around them are not, even if that means that they are aggravating.

Well, guess you're just not into slice-of-life-ish shows...

I like slice-of-life shows.

Samurai Flamenco is not a slice-of-life show.

[up] It actually is a slice-of-life show.

Slice-of-life shows don't include "beating up muggers on the street"

[up]But that's not what's happening. Hazama wants to do that, but he can't. It's a slice-of-life about how a teen idol wants to become a hero of justice.

He can and he did.

Episode 3 and 4 has them doing exactly that.

If you want to call this show the best one in this season, the least you could do is know what's happening in it.

Bit early to be calling best show of the season for certain isn't it?

[up][up] Haven't watched Episode 4 yet, but no muggers were beaten up in Episode 3. Sure you got your facts straight?

[up][up][up]Wrong. Episode 3 had the retired Sentai actor doing the action(Although I'm half sure he didn't go and beat jaywalkers onscreen in that episode), and Episode 4 was Flamenco Girl doing the work. Hazama himself has gotten stronger over time, but he's still very much incompetent. What he does have going is his presence in the media as Samurai Flamenco, and eventually, how he'll go beyond that.

So, I saw Walkure Romanze's 5th episode. I think it just keeps getting better.smile

[up]My friend, tell me, does it have more fanservice? Only saw the first two episodes, and seriously, with the really bad voice for the main character, and not enough fanservice, kinda been delaying watching it.*

About Samurai Flamenco, the other wiki and other sites mention nothing about it being a slice of life although there seems to be no agreement as to what genre it is. It is an anime original so there probably won't be a consensus until after the anime ends.

And btw, Teekyuu is clearly the best anime of the season tongue

The very first thing that happens in episode 4 is he beating up a mugger.

Yes, I do, in fact, go my facts straight.

[up][up] Slice-of-life still fits it best anyhow.

[up] Well, you were wrong about Episode 3, so probably not as straight as you think you do.

Also just because they beat up a mugger doesn't mean it's not a SOL, same way Haruhi is still an SOL even if they squash some giant bug alien thing.

...Haruhi is not a slice-of-life, it Urban Fantasy.

#443: Nov 4th 2013 at 6:41:16 AM

[up] Being an urban fantasy does not exclude it from being a slice-of-life. Though to be fair Haruhi is a bad example because it genre-busts so much. (Still people do agree that it falls under slice-of-life)

Better examples would be Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, Nichijou, Tatami Galaxy... lots of slice of life with weird elements.

does it have more fanservice?

Well, to be honest...not really. Innuendo still exists, though.tongue

[up] It takes Not What It Looks Like to a rather extreme level.

And yeah, apart from Panty shots and some stripperific armour, there's not that much fanservice. Some, but not that much.

I'm thinking the fanservice in Walkure Romanze will follow the usual standard: Quite a lot in the beginning, then getting less and less towards the finale, with maybe a breather fanservice ep before that. And heavy fanservice extra episodes. Second seasons also tend to pile it up, since often they've already had the story they wanted and need more padding.

Haruhi is basically slice of life from a certain point of view. Much of it is about regular school stuff. But as a whole, not really.

Teekyuu is one of those that manages to work with the random type of humour. Maybe because it's so fast you don't have time to reflect on how bad it is...

[up]Haruhi is basically an odd version of those HS adventure series that are usually written for teens. The often seem to be mysteries, but not always. Not sure what the genera is called.

Samurai Flamenco is getting better and I like it more. I just like the characters and how they interact

I consider it my duty to ensure that, should you be surprised by a bear in your library, you will have ample ammunition to beat it to death.

Can someone start a page for Walkure Romanze? I would have, but then I remember that romance is not my forte.

I found something rather amusing and unusual in Ore No Nounai Sentakushi Ga, Gakuen Lovecome O Zenryoku De Jama Shiteiru in the last episodes. Those unrealistically huge boobs are just that. Not real. Very rarely actually stated.
