>I found the weakest aspect of the anime to be the girls' relationship
That's weird to read, because I found that their relationship, while formulaic, was still done well enough to carry the weight of the show (along with Chisato's voice acting and the action fanservice).

But I must admit that, if it was done well, it was only barely so. More time spent showing why Takina chose to open herself could have helped, for example. The director aknowledged this - in an interview, he spoke of how they filled the OP and ED sequences with glimpses of the girls' daily lives together in hopes of making up for the lack of it in the show proper.

Incidentally, there's a light novel coming up that focuses on their relationship and which I'm mildly excited for, even if I shouldn't, because it's going to be cheap yuri pandering written by a no-one who wasn't part of the production staff, after all, isn't it?

At any rate, anon, props to you for moving on without falling for the sunken costs fallacy.

Well, you enjoyed it at least. Our perceptions differ by expectations, I think. And what the director said makes me sad. But hey, maybe the nobody that'll write the LN might have an undiscovered talent.

>moving on without falling for the sunken costs fallacy

It only took many, many years to learn that one has only so much time.

I'm that one anon who watches every idol anime*. By now I've figured out I'm not exactly preaching to the choir around these parts, but I do think Shine Post was good enough to warrant some mention, so bear with me.

The characters were more interesting than the average, while at the same time being less over-the-top than in most idol anime, which was a nice break from the more common trend of huge casts with extreme personalities. I particularly liked how the girls behaved consistently with the growth we had previously seen them undergo, even if superficially so. Admittedly, what I'm trying to say is that Shine Post stands out by how little it sucks in fundamental areas like script, compared to many idol anime.

The gimmick deserves mention too. Other idol anime include supernatural gimmicks, typically involving dead sisters and heart transplants, but this one is handled unconventionally. It's the producer, not one of the girls, who has a supernatural ability, but more importantly, it doesn't give him the power to do anything that he couldn't do nearly as well without it. The truth is that the ability serves mostly as a visual cue to let the audience know what the producer is thinking without him breaking into inner monologue all the time. I don't know if on the whole it helped or detracted, but I must give them points for originality and boldness at least.

It also had some glaring flaws, but it was overall well made and quite a pleasant watch. Okyou was best. That is all.


*Every girl idol anime, that is, of course.

Yeah. Things like the Remnants and the Northern lands really intrigued me since there's an air of danger and mystery surrounding them.

Which ones, faggot, which ones? I've been fishing for specific names for a while already, get the hint. Also close your tags next time.

Anime as a whole is idealized, and ditto for romantic comedies. Singing retarded songs in front of the fire is exactly the sort of retarded non-idealized bullshit retarded non-idealized teens would do. That's why I don't think I've ever seen it before in anime, romcoms or not. Did you misread my post? I am not saying Kaguya is a good romcom. I'm saying the romance is better now than the previous seasons, which certainly isn't a high bar at all. If you need to remind yourself, see this very thread and notice how there wasn't even one positive comment for the romance up to now. Kaguya is a Shaft-style comedy, having a half-decent romance story for once is just a bonus.

Somehow the complexity of the plots got lower and lower with each arc. The last arc specifically was the simplest out of all of them. Kinda disappointing series.

However the empire princess, and the crazy old hag in the Church were the worst characters, in terms of how they were used. The little sister fit the best with the spirit of the show but even her arc got a quick and bullshit end with almost no scheming. Either way, it was fun throughout, I just expected more.

They had cut a few characters from the already short first volume, so I expect the aforementioned story arcs are better in the source material, or at least I hope. But I nonetheless agree, especially with the last arc. Quite disappointing.
