Now and Then, Here and There 3

Liked this ep more than the first two even if Shu getting the shit knocked out of him is becoming comical. I'm growing more curious as to what sort of thing would bind loyalty to someone like Hamdo as it seems the first to plant a knife in his back would be a hero. There's other questions I'm actually curious about now regarding the actual history of Hellywood or why it's necessary to militarize everyone including children.

Stuff like the aforementioned abuse of Shu, the dead cat from the previous episode, and Sara's apparent rape strike me as cheap shock value though.

Kaiba 12

Oh.
INSTRUMENTALITY!
I can understand why Yuasa wanted a spectacle for the finale, but that was a bit much. Still, I didn't entirely dislike it, and the show did stay on the rails longer than Kemonozume did, so progress has been made.
Like I hinted at a few posts ago, that ending certainly leaves a lasting impression on my view of the series as a whole. It's as spectacular as it is unsatisfying, rather than a climax earned through tying up the characters and themes of the story we get a bit of a mess.

If I'm reading this correctly, the implication seems to be that you enjoyed Kaiba more than Kemonozume because it did 'stay on the rails' or is that just a passing comment and you haven't really compares the value of both series and made an overall decision?

best girl?

best girl.
Episode 7 is greatness, in fact I just re-watched it. I need that episode/scene where Yui says "Uuuuuuuuiiiiiiii".

There's nothing funny about that, Kaiba is a legitimately great show. If you're directly referring to the ending of the show, then you've got a good point but it's actually one of my favourite works from the 2000's.

Steins;Gate 14

Shit just keeps going down. It decided to take a break to process a bit of what has been going on, tasteful decision. Along with some interesting effects and camera focuses on the environment to add a bit to scenes, kind of like the usual, but this time more symbolic (or so it feels).

But man,
that time leap device is one reliable son-of-a-bitch! He gets to it on time and is never interrupted, even when doing it again at the first death scene without the smoke bomb to aid.

Why didn't you talk to
"Red"
befooore, Okabe? It might've been a good idea.

That moment
she helped him off his butt
...my heart felt so warm.

Wait,
Suzu IS JOHN TITOR?!

Apparently I'm marrying two different characters from the same harem VN. That can't possibly end well.

Aw man, here goes the waifu chain again.

Shit, I've been mentioning it & posting that one vomit gif for like a year now. :/

I actually think the soundtrack is really dated and out of place, but somehow it maybe gets away with it 'cause, man, it was the 70s. The Fantastic Planet effect.

I thought the movie was kind of ridiculous at the time I watched it, but it grew on me (in my head at least) and wins a lot of points just for being different. Really, really different.

Yeah, being really fucking weird helps a ton. The soundtrack is retro and odd, but I thought it suited it (went well with the whole aesthetic sensibility of the time period, or something).

Asides from being an adult woman (and my waifu, supposedly, according to one of those waifu generators that was posted before in these threads), I've never seen the appeal of Sawako - dunno, she always kinda annoyed me.
Look what you've done!
 

Looks like I'm destined to marry Ami Kawashima. Someone who's seen Toradora will have to tell me how lucky I am.

Like I hinted at a few posts ago, that ending certainly leaves a lasting impression on my view of the series as a whole. It's as spectacular as it is unsatisfying, rather than a climax earned through tying up the characters and themes of the story we get a bit of a mess.

Thinking about it, what I disliked the most about the ending is
in episode 11 you have a series of successive betrayals and murders - the moment where the series jumped the shark for me into unnecessary convolution - but in episode 12 suddenly everyone is perfectly fine. What happened there?

If I'm reading this correctly, the implication seems to be that you enjoyed Kaiba more than Kemonozume because it did 'stay on the rails' or is that just a passing comment and you haven't really compares the value of both series and made an overall decision?

Yes, I liked Kaiba more than Kemonozume. It had more good episodes and felt more cohesive despite the issues with the ending. Even that didn't lose sight of the relationship between Kaiba and Neiro, whereas Kemonozume kind of forgot about the relationship between Toshihiko and Yuka in its ending arc.

So far I've liked every Yuasa work better than the last. I hope for great things from Tatami Galaxy.

I thought the first couple of episodes were great but the run up to the ending really soured me on the whole experience. :(
