The first half of the episode was rather pretty. There were some nice details in the animation while Saitama decided, "Yep, this is definitely the moon," like pinching his nose and tossing the rock. Second half might've been a bit too dark, but then again we got stuff like Saitama accidentally ripping Genos' arm off, so maybe not.

Yea I really liked how they showed his thought process instead of an internal monologue.
I kind of want to overdub it with Strong Bad going "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump."

Shimoneta and Gakkou Gurashi were both phenomenal as well. I'm also loving Iron Blooded Orphans. What else... I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying had its second cour, but it's a short so I dunno if most people count it as in the running for AOTY. I think that's about all for the serious AOTY contenders I watched, though I watched more than that. Did any of you watch Chivalry of a Failed Knight (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry)?

The thing about Cavalry, is that its setup sounds like generic as fuck high school battle-harem #546, but what makes it tick is in the execution. Like, okay, the first episode shows our male lead getting to MAGIC HIGH SCHOOL and having the obligatory 'I walked in on you while you were changing' anime bullshit because the school assigned him a female roommate. This female roommate is a high-powered magic user from 'another kingdom' who's come to japan as part of an exchange program, and she gets pissed at the lead and she challenges him to a duel in front of the whole school. She's expecting to humiliate him, because he's ranked as the worst student in the school, but of course, our MC wins. Sounds like half the shit that's aired this year, right? Well, in response to walking in on the female lead, instead of freaking out, he tries to defuse the situation by taking his own clothes off so it'd be even. And he wins the duel not because he's some naturally overpowered prodigy, but because his awful home life caused him to throw himself into his martial arts so that while he's one of the worst at using his magic, he's also one of the only students with actual battle skills. And despite teasing a harem, the two leads actually admit their mutual interest and start dating in like episode 3 or 4. Basically every character who seems like 'oh, they're the token bro-con/gay/tsundere/whatever' turn out to have some real depth to them. The music is generally pretty boss, too:

I just played the Steins;Gate VN, then watched the Steins;Gate anime, then watched the OVA and the movie, and now I want to play it all over again.
...Sorry, all other animes ever. You all had a good run. You've been defeated.

So we finally got back to Ore Monogatari and watched episodes 3 and 4 and Takeo and Yamato are an item now (should I... should I spoiler that) and I'm left wondering how the heck it's going to manage another 20 episodes? It's cute as heck but it can't pull out 20 episodes of fluff, my teeth will fall out. I think Madoka has ruined me, I'm expecting some awful tragedy to happen. Suna doesn't die, right?
Oh man, he does, doesn't he? He dies protecting the lovebirds from something and his last words are spent expressing his happiness that he could give his life ensuring they could stay together and then the emotional fallout from that changes their relationship forever and-- Nah ok it's probably 99% fluff. I'm fine with this! |
