Flustered Kaguya is very good, and her voice actress nails it

drat, that is one fine reproduction of an Akira throne right there. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as it's basically asking very talented artists to reproduce something in a similar art style with perfect reference material to use. I like that there's just enough different about it to tell that someone definitely drew it from scratch and it's not just some form of copy-pasting. I haven't read most of the early chapters, so I'm really excited to see Miko finally appear, since she's always been around in the issues I've read. Shirogane had the biggest win of the anime so far I think, if we're judging just based on trapping the other person into showing affection for you. That was some real love confession energy coming from Kaguya at the end of ep. 3. I really hope we get to the cultural festival for the season finale, though I feel like they'd skip a lot of material to do that. The fan and moonstruck Shirogane have been great elements, and I want both to return as at least brief gags in the season (Ideally the fan at least once an episode, and the moon one more time with Kaguya being jealous of it).

Shirogane has some real game when he's not stuck in his head.

I should've watched this episode much earlier this week! They're really doing a great job, particularly with the moon gazing segment. Kaguya's VA kicks rear end. No 80s western pop sound-alike this week, though, unless I missed it. If it was at the very end when Shirogane is submitting the application I didn't recognize it. Please enjoy a pensive (or plotting?) Fujiwara:

Holy cow this was the best episode this season so far. Pretty much a 100% elevation from the original manga chapters. "Haysaca" was done perfectly and big  at Hatakeyama literally recreating the first scene of Araragi and Hanekawa in Bakemonogatari when Shirogane was talking to Fujiwara.Oh and Iino showed up too I guess. Just her intro but it was done super good too. Super Jay Mann fucked around with this message at 17:53 on May 2, 2020 |

Episode 2 had You Spin Me Round, and the Ai Spyasaka scene in Ep. 1 ripped Madonna's Vogue. I was wondering if there was something like that in the third ep... I'll have to pay attention now in the fourth.

They brought back the song from e2 for a minute and ripped off another non-pop piece I won’t spoil If Kei Haneoka is doing the music for season 2 as well, I know he’s done a handful of direct ripoffs for the Monogatari stuff he’s worked on (e.g. Tsukimonogatari was full of homages to Steve Reich, including a few tracks that were just Piano Phase to a T) along with the other composer for the monogatari series, Satoru Kōsaki. Seems like the two of them are especially skilled at musical reference/appropriation, to put it charitably. I certainly don’t mind.

There was also a beat of Rose of Versailles when she was talking about studying 10 hours a day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=has-Ru1lGTM Also I think there was a knockoff of the Godfather theme during the "confession".

Speaking of references, and monogatari (which is a hyper-referential series itself), the bit just before that with shirogane and chika in the classroom was def a direct reference to bakemonogatari episode 1 e: oh someone already mentioned that, oops. Let’s keep cataloguing those refs because it’s impressive they can pack so many in without getting in the way of the actual comedy of the show.

like, that sweeping dolly shot into the outdoors portion of the confession is something that i think 95% of anime adaptions gag manga wouldn't bother with. all the ways they find to heighten the feeling of the character's tension throughout is just a treat

I am so so happy now that Hayasaca has joined the ranks of neurotic morons that make up the rest of the cast. Seeing this week's episode animated exceeded all of my expectations so I hope we get like however many more seasons of this we need to cover the entire manga.

This show looks cheaper than ever and despite that the directing has been absolutely phenomenal. It hit peak Monogatari in the middle scene, but even the scenes before that were very Monogatari. ...wait crap, I had completely forgotten that this was directed by the same dude who directed Rakugo Shinjuu and Sankarea. Of course, he was Shaft alumni who made DEEN stuff look good. Saagonsa posted:I will say that it's pretty disappointing that funi didn't even try to translate Iino's flier at all.  I found this hopefully it helps. Yeah she doesn't have a chance, she doesn't pair her ideals of brutal hierarchy with the cruel bullying joy, unlike modern movements with traction. She's a throwback to Taisho/early Showa ideals.

I never got past the first chapter initially because my first impression implied a radically different genre than what I ended up experiencing and glad I gave the anime a chance.Phobophilia posted:This show looks cheaper than ever and despite that the directing has been absolutely phenomenal.

You'd think she should lose from such strict discipline but maybe the students of such a highly prestigious school might all be comprised of stuck ups who think the rules are for other people.

I mean the place was originally set up for the hyperelite to lord it over the peasants. But at some point, a power shift occurred in the background, and the as people graduated out, the newcomers were not as pathologically obsessed with brutal hierarchy as the old guard. The Iino types are a hard core minority within the broader body, the majority of them aren't cloistered from the general public and would prefer more relaxed standards of behavior. Well, the Shinomiya clan would have fit neatly into the old system, found common ground with Iino, but then Shirogane happened.
