You have to like Konata's smugface.

Amagi Brilliant Park trip report: I enjoyed watching this although it was by no means a great show. I liked the character designs and animation, and I'm apparently a big fan of business anime, but I think it would've been better off if the magical aspects simply weren't there. Also I would like to see more of samurai dolphin.

One thing I really didn't like was the "hey lady characters please sexualize yourselves to sell tickets" plotline early on. They were on board I guess but it still seemed icky.

I would give the show a B letter grade.

It's OK. Better than BtB so far, though that's not saying much. I plan to keep watching it for now.

It's well-animated and has a pretty likeable MC and some funny moments but it feels very LN adaptation. It has a lot of baps, if that's your thing.

Getting back into Hyouka after a bit of a break. Up to Episode 14, this show's still real good. Between this and the more restrained parts of Haruhi, Kyoani really has a knack for making the mundane seem warm and friendly (thanks in no small part to their consistently excellent use of color) in a way that I find really theraputic.

i don't know that i would describe the mundane aspects of haruhi as warm and friendly -- they're often used to be intentionally alienating if not downright disturbing, especially in endless eight

Depends on the scene. You're certainly right about, say, most of the downer scenes in the second part of Disappearance, but I don't think we're meant to feel terribly alienated during, say, the Christmas Party, or when Kyon's heading to the classroom at the end of the movie, and those are fairly mundane moments. Kyon's conversation with Yuki on the roof is also fairly light on the supernatural fare, and while 'friendly' might not be the right word, I'd certainly say 'warm' is appropriate.

I'd agree, and I alway like how they pivot the comforting into the frightening. The coziest moments (Island vacation, EE1, Christmas party) turn into the most frightening developments (the rewritten murder, the rest of EE, all of disappearance). Coziness triggers a backlash against complacency, it's a neat balance
