Anime |OT| Winter 2020 - New Decade, Old Contract

I enjoyed it and got pretty invested in it, because it frustrated me too :x Felt like yelling at the characters, mostly out of the dramatic irony, I guess.
It was a hard watch seeing Shoya and Naoka pick on Shoko so bad it caused her ears to bleed with yanking out her hearing aids. "Kids can be cruel" is certainly true... Being an instance where the situation didn't just effect the victim, but Shoya as well, since he dug himself into a deep hole to the point of crippling social anxiety. Seeing him as an awful bully, and then seeing him trying to redeem himself, was also hard, but no surprise why not everyone accepted him immediately. Naoka was annoying though, since she just... never grew up and matured out of her bullying phase. She was just so consistently stuck up...
In the end, I guess having characters that annoy/frustrate you with their decisions is enough to show just how invested you can get with it.
Haikyuu Season 4:
I was never into sports anime, but Haikyuu is just something special, and i can't get enough of it. Even Hinata just running after the ball for 20 mins is sooo entertaining to me!

Those never bothered me, only thing i found annoying is - SYNCHRO KOGEKI - cause all them were saying it...
Oh, thanks for reminding me, still need to see 5 more episodes :). I like it, but i'm not quite sure about this anime. I like the characters, but their motivation, or how they started running together is a bit weird.
Well... I had to take an hour long walk afterwards to process it all. It was just so damn heartbreaking.
Is it worth it to read the manga as well? I know there are a handful of chapters at the end that weren't in the movie, but if that's all I might just pick up the last volume.
It's funny cause today I was browsing what stuff was free on Comixology earlier today and saw that this was available, but just the first volume. I had no idea it was SEVEN volumes long, so I'm not surprised that there would be additional material in it. My manga backlog is crazy right now, but I'd definitely want to check it out some time, especially now knowing there's more in it than just a direct adaptation.
This is a objectively bad opinion. I love hearing "chansu baru"
Says I have an objectively bad opinion. Gives me a subjective reason why.
The objectively bad opinion part was a joke, I just wanted to use your post to say how I like when they say that
Their tech is great and they can really become a front runner in anime streaming but I just think they simply do not give a fuck. I feel like they treat it the same as any other show or movie on their platform without understanding the stuff that fans care about.
Sorry, I got the joke. My brain's not in a right frame of mind currently. Just found it my friend died of cancer.
Thanks. I need some time to process.
Thanks.
Sorry, I've derailed conversation. Please talk about anime.
Haikyuu!!! S4-3
Hinata is more than ok I guess. Is this whole season going to be a training arc? Is this going to switch to Kageyama next? I enjoy the learning z but the show feels a little empty without the rest of the team.

Budoukan - 03
Moving from the subtle but mostly hidden motivations of our wota fans as to what drives them to be obsessed with idol worship. i.e. Soul crushing loneliness, we get a somewhat closer look as to what the intentions are as to the limit of their affection will go. Only one has romantic feelings for cham jam members and he happens to have a little sister that resembles that member to a scary degree. Ok fine. But it raises the question as to what the nature of the "love" that Eripiyo feels for Maina is and what could Maina's feelings possibly signify. Nothing can convince me at this point that Eripiyo is not having a complex but furious inner struggle with the fact that shes violently gay for Maina, but the show will undoubtedly display just that. Eripiyo just really loves Maina's Mainaness... or something and Maina? Well, she obviously love Eripiyo's rabid and undying loyalty... Please make a doujin where they fuck like animals.

Know what's worse? Having your first exposure to the franchise be Santia and then go to the CG version >_> These things I do... I legit thought Santia was a spin-off that I could start with. Not only do you need previous knowledge, the show was an absolute MESS! The direction of the plot was everywhere :( CG one? Yeah that one is weird too... story is everywhere and SUPER rushed.
On the bright side, I'll start the original series once Netflix adds the entire thing. Been wanting to start it for almost 20 years, but it never got completed on DVD, and english subs were pretty hard to come by at the time, too. After starting with the worst, I look forward to the original show to blow my mind :p
Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju DS : 7
Well fuck that is a curved ball I was not expecting. Holy smokes that hit me like a truck. This show is masterful in what it sets out to do.

Now I can't stop crying. Just beautiful, that was one of the most well earned scenes I have ever watched. What a show.

The episode where Konastu does the school performance straight up destroyed me.
That one was soooo good. I don't even want to keep watching because I don't want it to end.
Chihayafuru S1
Really enjoyed it for the most part, but the sappiness (while expected) could be a little much sometimes. Also,
On to S2.

the Queen match did pretty much nothing for me. The weight thing was laughable and I didn't feel anything for Yumi. Glad she lost at least.
So I was loving Smile Down The Runway, up until the end of the 1st episode. Watching it in English, so gonna be behind.
Now maybe I misinterpreted it and they won't do what I was thinking, but if they don't I'll be very disappointed.
I like Ikuto, no less than Chiyuki even, but I don't want the story told from his perspective.
Chiyuki and her dad both said this is really his story, so I thought this means that the focus would shift from Chiyuki to Ikuto.
Please don't tell me that's the case.

Mild manga spoilers.
She's closer to a deuteragonist. The story shifts to her perspective when it's her arc, but there's more of Ikuto than Chiyuki, broadly speaking.
Chihayafuru Season 3 15
As it is currently constructed, I have pretty limited interest in this love triangle thing (which while it has always been present, has moved to the forefront of the action this season). Don't have much of an attachment to Arata since he typically gets the least engaging plot lines/characters to interact with. And while I like Taichi, his character is kind of predicated on not being with Chihaya or as good at karuta (even if he is already super good at it at this point). Hopefully Arata surprise moves closer to everyone sooner than expected (he is at his best around Taichi/Chihaya) or we see some give when it comes to Taichi's other endeavors (I'm not buying the Taichi's commitment to karuta keeps #1 academically line this episode lol. Hopefully it was brought up since we will see a minor slip or something).
The Suo scenes have been solid although the Chihaya/bride stuff is a tough look and it's unfortunate they went that way with him.
Was nice getting to see more of the club interact this episode.

UGH
Like I said, I like Ikuto, and his story probably would be more interesting, but I want it told from Chiyuki's perspective.
It would make it far more interesting. Now I'm just expecting it's gonna be kinda generic.

Black Clover 101
Fell off this months ago and I'm trying to catch up, holy Jesus I forgot how tedious this show can be sometimes.
Black Clover 102
'Ah shit we're gonna need to pad this one'.
'Hey I know! Let's spend the entire episode flashbacking to pointless shit!'
'Great idea! But we need to least make it look somewhat different, what should we do?
'Hey I know! Let's add black bars to make it look like we did it in a 2:3:9 aspect ratio, even though we didn't, so nothings framed properly!'
'Fuck yeah!'

I won't say too much more, and it's a pretty subjective thing - but the story does take a different direction than what I expected in a few ways. I think it'll be clearer come ep6-7 or something or you could always check up the manga. Art's pretty good.
It is actually 2, look next to All Might's photo
Deku wants to be the world's greatest hero and yet here is pictorial evidence he owns an All Might Funko Pop. Greatest hero? More like greatest villain!
If there was any justice in the world owning a Funko should be grounds for imprisonment.

you either seen yourself die a hero or become the villain
