my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Mikado is tolerable because of how blindingly obvious it is that his "normal Japanese teen" face is at least partly an act and that poo poo is gonna go down with him in the future, masaomi is still the far worse character

Nooooooo stay the gently caress away in the boonies or whatever Masaomi, the last thing this arc needs is for you to show back up conveniently at the end.

But he'd be even more of a worthless character if he continued to wallow in self-pity and not even try to do anything at all.

Also, Shizuo looks pissed. Next episode is going to be good. :allears:

Is is time yet for Mikado to do something other than stand around looking confused saying "eh?!" repeatedly? 'Cause that's getting old.

Luckily nothing else about this show is.

Dammit, getting the poo poo kicked out of him doesn't count!

I'm guessing Kabaddi isn't a normal sport in Japan? I'm a little familiar with it since I have an Indian background, but I've never seen it mentioned outside India.

Shizuo showing up with Varona's bike on his shoulder killed me.

From the next episode preview it looks like he'll take up Aoba on his offer, probably because he wants to be more involved but can't do so because the Dollars are basically 4chan and it doesn't matter what animeMoot has to say about it.

I've seen a couple other shows that reference it as something students do in PE classes, so ~my anime knowledge~ would imply it is.

Or at the very least it's more popular there than in the US, where I have never heard of it.

It's an event in the Asian Games so it makes sense that it would have some awareness in Japan.

Angel Beats is alright, but it certainly doesn't deserve to be referenced five years after it came out.

Haha Angel Beats was the first anime I watched when I started following new seasonal releases. It's been a long time, and a lot of much better shows. Like this one, and how much I'm looking forward to Shizuo next episode :allears:

This was a much better conclusion to a season than the other Saturday anime I've been watching. Mikado gettin' x-treme, Shizuo kickin' cars, Russian guy gettin' kneecapped, Izaya finally gettin' what he was owed. As always, a lot of fun to watch. Looking forward to summer.

That's it? I'll probably be on edge from now until then, that's how hyped I am for it.

Izaya finally being on the receiving end of his own antics has me super excited. I'm imagining that the rest of the cast will essentially become chess pieces in the game between Izaya and Yodogiri.

On another note, Mikado developing a split personality and signing up with the blue squares is really promising as a catalyst for chaos.

So he factions that were at play here...

Akane's father planned to have those three killed anyway because of various reasons, and figured he might as well use it as leverage in his negotiations with a rival group. To this end he hired Sloan/Varona through those two big shots (the guy with the cane/scars and the other guy with the scars). Shizuo showing up was unexpected and someone else's machinations. And Akane getting kidnapped was also obviously not part of this plan. Varona was spared because the yakuza were approached by Egor who promised them they'd give the group preferential treatment in buying guns as payment.

The kidnapping and basically everything Varona/Sloan did for shits and giggles was because of Yadogiri Jinnai, whose plan we don't know yet. He is also somehow involved with Ruri, I think? Presumably he's the actual one who roped in Shizuo. I guess I'm still not clear on whose plan that was if it wasn't Izaya's. Actually not sure what Izaya was really doing this arc at all besides getting the gently caress out of dodge early.

No real confusion with the gang war at least, I think that was pretty clear cut by the end.

No Mikado no if you actually want to be relevant you need to be magic or a yakuza. You should have noticed by now street gangs are just fodder.
