Did I miss something about EoC? It's good but I burnt out in the second season because there wasn't much to get invested in, like it's very standard club stuff. I really liked the main relationship in Yuru

How are people ITT feeling about Newly Cooly, anyway?

budget.....

for real i know this gets said every single time someone talks about animation ever but its really worth knowing that flcl looked the way it did because of a once in a lifetime confluence of insanely talented animators in their primes, not because they put money into it. it helps temper expectations. well, flcl was also helped by being 6 episodes over the course of a year versus 12 episodes over the course of three months, but still.

The first step is to watch the original.

Yuru Camp is kinda circling around the whole Mt Fuji thing but never properly going all the way up.

I have taken this path. Food wars has been a legitimate inspiration to me! No one's taken off their clothes in ecstacy yet, but some people have gone back for thirds, so it seems like it's working ok.

i feel like a finger on a monkey's paw is closing. like i wished for 'can i just get like, some actual explicit girls loving girls' after amanchu ended spring on a really sour note, and the monkey's paw granted me an adaptation of happy sugar life. i don't even dislike happy sugar life. it's alright. but god drat, kick me while i'm down, why don't you

(looking like a season for me to basically skip on the whole except like, starlight revue. don't watch back street girls)

Space Flower posted:

that sounds amazing and is honestly not far off but is a bit of an overshot as there's no lovecraftian monstrosities (or ero). it's about working up from the broken conceptions of love between two kids growing up in an abusive/broken household. for reasons, it's very evocative for me.

which summer anime has big dick energy

Darth Walrus posted:

The folks in Attack on Titan explicitly lose their dicks when they get big. I dunno, though, might end up as an endgame superpower.

Thuryl posted:

I think buying into YKA beyond the first couple of episodes pretty much requires finding a way to read all the death as something other than literal. All the other things you can read it as are still gonna be pretty uncomfortable, but not quite as conversation-stopping as "the bears literally murder people". I feel like I got a lot out of YKA, but I also feel like I probably read it generously and filled in a lot of gaps with my own experiences, so it's not something I can give an unqualified recommendation for.

Anyway, to get back to the current season, there are things I enjoy about Happy Sugar Life but it might be a stretch to call them healthy or positive. I tend to like stories about people pursuing their obsessions to the point of self-destruction and that's the angle I'm coming at HSL from, more or less. In terms of what I'm personally getting out of it, it has less in common with Citrus and more with, I dunno, Breaking Bad.

kara no kyoukai has a weird bi agender person and their sugar mommy running a detective agency and getting into knife fights so at least it has that going for it, though kokutou is kind of boring and idk what the deal is with lio

kara no kyoukai: come for the agender killer with the cool outfit, stay for the touko aozaki explaining concepts you only half get but its cool anyway cause she is the coolest.

I like how they went for an even more homoerotic series title this time around. Also, Max looks like she could be pretty badass.

What's the deal with Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer? I'm not familiar with it.

AnacondaHL posted:

Biscuit Hammer is a weird translation of the big wooden hammer used to pound rice into that delicious gooey mochi. Think 4kids replacing riceball with hamburgers type of translation.

LBH is the weird localization of the Japanese title "Hoshi no Samidare" or "Samidare of the Stars" so it's all charmingly arbitrary anyways.

need i remind you out there that someone thought 'attack on titan' was a name that made sense

unfortunate that this couldn't serve as hideki kamiya's professional voice acting debut
