Finished Gen Urobuchi’s Youtube show, OBSOLETE. Has some interesting ideas about war, and how the world would respond to the sudden introduction of alien technology. Terribly held back by the short-form format, exacerbated by how most of its limited time is devoted to mech action scenes, sparing little time for world-building or humanizing its characters. Could’ve been a good full-length series.

Bookworm ep 10. This show hurts so damn good. Main doing her best in a situation she never asked for, fighting a fight she knows she can’t win. In a genre dominated by teenaged wish-fulfiment, an isekai that underlies the unfairness of life is a nice reprieve.

Speaking of hurting good, Hoshiai no Sora ep 9. The ep has the usual crazy level of detail in the character acting. The spacious layouts used when An-chan goes on her adventure was very interesting, created this real haunting experience.
 
The show’s depiction of parents refusing to accept their child for who they are is Aggretsuko levels of rage-inducing. Also, the show opts to show the immediate consequences of violence this time, and the victim instinctively protecting their abuser. (I appreciate the implication that the doctor saw through his lie. Hurray for competent adults.) Shingo’s VA nailed that after-credits scene, holy shit. Not a particularly elegant episode, but if the goal was to create an uncomfortable experience, it was plenty successful.
 
I wonder if this attitude of defying (or at least questioning) filial piety has always been in anime and I’m only now just now picking it up, or it’s the industry as a whole that’s changing.

Speaking of sports anime, Azur Lane ep 9.
 
Jav and Laffey escorting Ayanami around the base and finding common ground with the rest of the faction was nice. Jav complaining about the others’ lack of class while being covered in cake was adorable.
 
I was worried about Enterprise getting some serious character regression, but the show’s justification for it makes sense. Discovering who you really are (or might be) often causes people to retreat to more familiar spaces.
 
Even with Ark Royal’s shenanigans, this was a nice ep.

SYD is getting a second movie. Apparently it has, like, 20 OVAs as well. I liked the show a lot the first two times I watched it, but didn’t think it would stay relevant for so long. I’d rewatch it if I didn’t have already have an infinite watch list I need to make progress on.
 
 
@Random-Rambling  
Optimistically, this means it had always been planned for two cour, and they just decided to delay the second cour a couple of seasons.

MHA S4E8:  
I liked how they tried to display the corridor’s warping in motion. Didn’t look as disorienting as they were making it out to be. But we didn’t get to see the paths actually changing the layout. Just the movement.
 
It was so awesome finally seeing this fight animated. I love the inversion of tropes and roles MHA does.  
Villains: || We have the power of Friendship! You’ll never beat us! ||  
Hero: || Then I’ll use one of you as a human shield since you won’t hurt eachother! ||  
You just normally expect the opposite, ya know?
 
And it’s really cool hearing where Suneater got his name. I had forgotten the specifics of how it came about from back when I read the manga.
 
Additional: Someone made an amusing notice of Honoka from Love Live making a cameo. Heh~

Beastars ep 9. Turning the love triangle into a story about kids being kidnapped for food was some crazy whiplash. I did enjoy the symbolism of the adults stealing away Haru (whose defining characteristic is always being true to herself) from Louis (who hides behind a mask of insecurity) and Legosi (who isn’t sure who he is or what he wants to be). I suppose this is also symbolic of having to grow up quickly. The world ain’t gonna wait for you to sort yourself out.
 
I have to think this is going to result is some significant changes to the main three. They can’t come out of this and just resume their lives as normal, right?

New key visual for Brand New Animal. Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed it isn’t full furry. Trigger are cowards after all.

Dr. Stone ep 23. Senku trusting Chrome with a critical task and Chrome being up to the challenge was some nice development for them. I also liked Chrome brute-forcing the solution. All the posing was super cheesy, but it’s alright. Playing the old OP over the final montage was a nice touch. Most importantly, I love this episode showing how even just the byproducts of scientific advancement can enrich people’s lives. Truly excellent edutainment.
 
MHA ep 71. Visually, the storyboarding and direction looked a bit messy? Pacing didn’t help. The hallway scene was pretty neat, though.
 
Mirio and Tamaki’s mutual respect was good. (Sun meets Suneater, heh.) I liked Tamaki’s realization at the end that the villain’s bonds are legitimate. Even if their situation is different from his, it doesn’t diminish their friendship. Very bold decision to frame that bond as something to be taken advantage of, by the hero. I respect the show taking a risk there, even if it straddles a line I’m not super comfortable with it.

RIFL ep 8. See, this is what I mean. Hitting that bullseye 60 times in a row seems pretty crazy.
 
Anyway, very solid build-up episode, lots of the gags hit. Gacchan’s telling Hikari that everyone gets anxious and to use that to drive her was a nice moment. Also, hurray for non-shitty and non-absent parents.
