Tamayomi: This was bad, not sure why I ever thought it might be good. The plot of the first episode was extremely generic and the characters and animation look like poo poo.
The preview images looked way better than the show did.

Being an artist was not an especially reputable occupation, and trade work of any sort wasn't considered appropriate for ladies of the upper class. It was at least better than being an actor or a prostitute, but bringing in a wife who worked with her hands would damage the reputation of the house who did it, because it implies they couldn't find one who didn't have to.
I mean having a job period as a noble of any gender was considered reputation damaging. The show kinda conflates the period's classism and sexism into a single thing, but that's all in service of setting up a romance with surrogate dad artist dude. So you get exactly what's advertised.

Tamayomi's first episode wasn't anything to write home about in the animation department, but it was enjoyable as a cozy introduction to some of the cast. However, the entire setup for the main duo is 'one girl has a super special technique that nobody can hit, but also nobody can catch, except my childhood friend', and I had to ask at the end of the first episode "So how many episodes until somebody is able to hit it?" A huge portion of the first episode is focused on this technique, and is the main pitch being used to sell the show in synopses, but it doesn't really work from a narrative standpoint, as it quashes any tension there may be in a match. So I'm pretty wary of the show going forward, at least in terms of not becoming something big standard and cliche.

Is the Doga Kobo fishing anime your standard CGDCT fare or does it elevate itself somehow? I like fish so I might end up watching it anyway...

it's a standard club activity SoL setup but it's well done so far. pretty direct adaptation of the manga. nice music. won't be as comfy as, say, yurucamp unless you're blase about seeing various sea creatures get killed/cleaned

I forgot to link it in the OP before, but since there's already a general Digimon thread I figured I should link that for the new show.

quote:

Digimon Adventure:
Toei Animation | Masato Misuka | Atsuhiro Tomioka | Action, Adventure, Comedy, Kids, Fantasy | Toy | Apr 5, 2020
The new anime will take place in 2020 and will feature an all-new story centering on Taichi Yagami when he is in his fifth year in elementary school. His partner is Agumon. The story begins in Tokyo when a large-scale network malfunction occurs. Taichi is preparing for his weekend summer camping trip when the incident happens. Taichi's mother and his younger sister Hikari get stuck on a train that won't stop moving, and Taichi heads to Shibuya in order to help them. However, on his way there, he encounters a strange phenomenon and sweeps him up into the Digital World along with the other DigiDestined

Teibou is pretty rote in general so far, and there were a couple of jokes in the middle I kinda groaned at, but it's got that nice Dogakobo production sheen so I'm giving it at least a few eps.

i think isekai can be good based on whether it is written by someone who is capable of vaguely fun or interesting writing

like bakarina hit off with people cause it has fun characters, can't say i've ever heard anyone talk about any of the other isekai otome things

i wonder if we'll ever see an adaptation of yakuza reincarnation, that one's a weird situation where i think the isekai actively drags it down because it doesn't really need the whole yakuza part of its premise but it works okay-ish because its writing is pretty funny

So is Bakarina the official fan name? I kinda like it haha.

I can see this series go either epic and fun if she eventually embraces being a villain or tragic and depressing if she keeps trying and failing no matter what.

If you've seen the first ep, you've got a pretty clear picture of why it's fannamed bakarina. ;)

Also it's going to be a good time.

She got that name later in the run because she is oblivious to every single character crushing hard on her.

If Bakarina does well, I demand an adaptation of Kobayashi and Endo's Commentary.

It's a lot of fun, but unfortunately many of the LN/manga fans in other places are just DYING to spoil the plot every time they post.

If no one else does it first I'll make a spoiler-free thread for the anime before the week is out.

tbh having actually played most of sakura wars 1 i don't blame someone for getting tired of how slow the game is and dropping it

game really needs to be like a couple hours shorter for how repetitive it is

The premise of it didn't really grab my attention skipping through the OP, but I decided to check the first ep of Wave Listen to Me after seeing some praise for it here, and holy poo poo the first ep was good.

Sharkopath posted:

It's structurally similar to death game stories but from whats out now and translated I'd say its way more an action mystery. A heavily layered story with a cast of characters that seem strangers at first but turn out to be incredibly interconnected. Sometimes they fight and when they fight people die because the stakes are high.

The weakness of genre tags...

I'd honestly say it has a lot more in common tone and theme wise to critically acclaimed visual novel stuff. There's definitely a bit of fate as an inspiration I think.

thanks, this makes it sound interesting again
