Was promised a good show from the OP, and 1 and 3/4 episodes in, I am inclined to agree. Quite strongly.

All the more reason for them to just make it official already. :colbert:

That's a pretty cool bit of detail right there. I was really expecting it to be 10:00:00, but they went over by a realistic amount (ie. the same amount I consistently went over when trying to stop right on the numbers as a kid).

He's a teenage lad, he's got his wanking tissues and that's all he needs. Why chuck out your rubbish today when you can do it tomorrow and just have another wank?

Remember, you have to separate your trash and each type is only picked up 1-2 times a week!

That's part of why you see trash pile up like that even for characters who aren't total slobs; you generally have to have it out before 8am on the right day to get it picked up (and you're not supposed to put it out the night before usually either, to prevent pests from getting into it), and if you miss the window you're stuck with a bag of trash in your room for another week.

Yea Japanese trash bags in the corner are more "I'm too lazy to put this somewhere more out of the way" than "I'm a gross slob".

Also this ep was yet another huge "I'm so gay for you Pikari" and I loved it.

I'm sure today's experience with the baby buttcat will be quite valuable for when Teko and Pikari are married and adopt beautiful children to raise together.

Anyway, good episode, but the art felt a little off in a way I can't quite pin down.

Also, now that we're nearly done I'm curious - anyone who's read the manga care to say how faithful the show's been? Any real changes? Just curious.

Great finale to a great show. The whole diving scene was raw euphoria shooting right into my veins. Also, YAAAAAAY PIKARI CONFESSED and they both looked so happy at the end!!! :kimchi: The show as a whole was just extremely well animated and very soothing, and I found Teko really relatable and endearing as a main character. I almost wonder what the rest of the manga is even about - the show we got feels very nice and complete.

A very nice last episode! Glorious ocean diving at last, and a stunning confession of love followed by hand-holding! Amanchu has been a great chill-out show.

Yeah. Like I said, I'm not sure what more there really is to do from a story perspective, but then I think about it for a second and realize I totally wouldn't mind another 12 episodes of them just Abzu-ing it up and looking at cool fish and poo poo under the sea without any real plot at all.

The manga has more characters introduced, largely solo chapters, and spends more time on non-Teko/Pikari characters.

Teko also gains a rival.

Wait - Is Teko gaining a rival as in someone who is competing with her for Pikari's affection, or someone who is competing with Pikari for hers? The way you worded that spoiler makes it sound like the former, but I would have sooner expected the latter.

A good ending episode, it was nice see an excited Teko and the confession.

Spiritus Nox
Sep 2, 2011

I will say, the last scene was very sweet in how it kind of inverted Teko and Pikari's roles compared to most of the show. I'm pretty sure it's the only time in the entire show Pikari's been remotely nervous or outwardly unsure in how she talks with someone else - note the way she stammers and goes "no you go first" when she and Teko go to thank each other at the same time (also, note that Teko was going to initiate the conversation on her own before Pikari nearly beat her to it, a significant step for the timid, terrified girl she'd been through most of the show), the way she opens up and talks about how worried she was that people would get annoyed and fed up with how she's always getting excited and trying to draw people into her adventures, and her initial inability to put her feelings for Teko into words. Then, when Teko reassures her and talks about how happy Pikari's made her, and how happy she is to finally have some passion for something and how much it's all meant to her, how happy she was that Pikari had dragged her along into the diving club, it's one of the first times in the whole series that Teko has done something tangible for Pikari, after spending much of the show's runtime leaning on Pikari as an emotional crutch. It makes their relationship much more equal and reciprocal than it was before. Even before Pikari's confession, this was really, really sweet, and absolutely the right note to end on IMO. And they conveyed all of that using just a handful of lines, too. Just a really, really great ending. Kind of reminds me Hyouka, now that I think of it.

good show, gay show, very good last episode. I'd love a season 2 since it sounds like the manga goes more fun places, but if not it ended with a sweet enough conclusion to make it just fine as a standalone thing.
