>>27409To anyone that likes High Score Girl I would suggest the No Con Kid jdrama. Short for No Continue Kid, in case you didn't catch that one. The end game plot is a bit silly/stupid, but otherwise it is fun, as far as I remember at least. Funny enough in Extra Game the MC was complaining he is shit at shooting games and in No Con Kid the main game is Gradius, but there are others ones too.

H: Sum of the dimensional (retention?) space
t：Sum of the dimensional (retention?) time

In addition to this case - the termination(/annihilation) energy E can (only?) be applied to this world. In that case, assuming that the event density and the event potential are constant everywhere…

>>27448It was nice, yeah, but… on one hand, it doesn't need a third girl, and on the other hand, the author seems unable to write believable geniuses. But these two are connected: if you can't write geniuses well, duluting the focus from them seems like a good idea. It might be okay, but I don't expect much from it. I'll give it a couple of episodes more, either way.

>Midara na Ao-chanThe father being an annoying midget is too much for me to bear here. The gags were so ridiculous I wanted to laugh but not ridiculous enough that I couldn't be annoyed by them instead. Also, terrible subtitles.

>Kimetsu no YaibaSince when has ufotable started being able to animate stuff? It's uncharacteristic of them to do a whole episode of solid unbroken goodness. Anyway, I'm a sucker for this type of brother-sister stories, so I may actually follow it.
>the koto animeHow the fuck do you do an anime where your whole gimmick is that you have kotos, and then NOT INCLUDE ANY KOTO ANYWHERE IN THE OST? Neither in the opening, nor in the ending, and I don't remember a single track during the episode either. Frankly, this whole episode would have had the exact same story and impact if you swap koto for any other random item: guitars, baseball gloves, tennis rackets, literally whatever. And, of course, the story was fittingly bland. I was kind of looking forward to the OST, I actually like the sound of koto.
>>27462I grew up on the original, and it has top notch husbando in the face of Kyou. The cat. The rest is more of a shoujo romance than a reverse harem. At one point you start thinking she will expand her harem with more animals, but then
it turns out she's seducing a reverse trap, and it's all totally platonic. That's about all I remember from like 15 years ago. I mean, it's not like shoujo romances are the pinnacle of intriguing and innovative writing. I'm saying that it's a different kind of bland.
No.27468
>Fairy Gone
Really fucking cliche. Марля gets a transformation out of nowhere, we get only broad strokes of world building and character creation, there's very little context for what's happening, and so on. I didn't even get that they are supposed to be mafia. Kimetsu no Yaiba handled this call to action much better. I don't think I'll bother with more. It's not a genre I particularly enjoy anyway.
>the other gov't dogs dealing with fairies
Vice versa, this was handled well. The exposition was done in a competent manner, and while we don't know much, we got proper context for everything we know. Also Romeo and Juliet was a nice start. Opening and ending hint at some overarching plot, so it'll depend on that. We'll probably get a proper idea what it'll be like in the next couple episodes.

The seiyuus made the first ep for me, but the rest was quite nice too. The director choice especially promises this to be a good comedy, so I guess I'll watch it.

No.27479
>>27478For me the fluffy tail anime actually had the opposite of the intended effect; the MC's life was so depressing and alienating that I lost happiness points to it and didn't feel healed at all. But whereas I used to view these wish-fulfilment stories with disdain, I now wonder if they may be the only thing preventing a few more suicides each year.
No.27480
>>27479I didn't really feel healed either, to be honest. It was just so over the top that it was instead jarring. I guess this title depends on self-inserting as the protagonist. Which is indeed all sorts of sad when you think about it.
No.27484
While the animation is great and the story is decent enough, the juxtaposition between the Japanese and the English seiyuu of Tuesday is kind of jarring. Carol's pair is somewhat better, but still? Couldn't they find girls who could sing in English instead?

P.S. He did seem pretty bummed out about it. He was even less happy that he was praised for it so much. But, well, considering the general tone, he'll probably just decide to revenge him or something.
No.27602
>>27597The guy seems as mentally strong as just about anything else that is overpowered about him. In fact it was a bit bizarre how even his classmates were just standing there not bothered by the severed head, but maybe the anime skipped that part in the episode and will showcase it in the next episode. But I doubt we are going to get more than a few sentences even from them.
No.27603
>>27602I think for some reason you read "has a PTSD" instead of "is bummed out" in my post. Of course he's mentally strong. Even the most mentally strong person would be disappointed and upset if he doesn't manage to save somebody. Vice versa, it's a sign of bad mental health if you are NOT disappointed and upset after such a scene.
Anyway, the reactions of the classmates are probably there in the novels, but were deemed not important enough for the anime. They kind of rushed the last scene.

Carole and Tuesday is also great. Episode 4 sucked but 5 was good again, though the song at the end was the weakest one yet. It's got solid animation, nice and varied character designs, an endearing cast, and good music. Why do you dislike it?

Full of annoyingly snarky characters and "look it is the west". Even the daily hijinks are nothing special, but you have the red hair dude narrating how much he masturbates over them "oh, wow, such free spirited girls, I have never seen such a thing in my life". The only Watanabe original anime that I like might actually be Space Dandy honestly.

>full of annoyingly snarky charactersCarole is the only one I would describe as snarky, and she has reason to be given how incompetent Gus and Roddy keep demonstrating themselves to be. On the other hand there was stuff like her being rude to the customers in the restaurant in the first episode, which would have made her distinctly unlikeable if not for the animation salvaging it through her expressiveness showing her displeasure at dealing with them. She's certainly not as nice as Tuesday but I hardly dislike her.
>and "look it is the west"From what, the music references? Or just that it has a western setting in general? I don't even know how this is a complaint.
>Event though they are papering it to be them vs the AI music industry their main rivals is still going to be a human signer. Where did you get the idea that C&T and the other girl are meant to become rivals? I do hope they explore the AI angle more though.
>you have the red hair dude narrating how much he masturbates over them "oh, wow, such free spirited girls, I have never seen such a thing in my life". Roddy is not exactly a socially developed person, all that we've seen of him so far shows that he's just a naive dweeb who sits in his room all the time when not working with his AIs.
I feel like you're blowing these issues out of proportion because you dislike that the show seems aimed at the west.

The script is quite mediocre, but at least the animation makes the most out of it. Bebop and Champloo are different animals entirely. They relied on having an entertaining cast naturally create interesting episodic stories just by letting them run wild. C&T is the polar opposite of that, forcing run-of-the-mill cast in inconsequential episodic stuff - and the result is obviously shitty. It would have been better served if everything served the overarching plot. It at least is inoffensive and mild, which makes it better than the episodic content.

>>27807I realized in the middle of the previous episode that I'm bored and that I won't get the cute girls doing random jobs thing that I wanted, so I dunno. I can't be bothered with 19 more episodes of this shit.
Anyway, song quality aside, humans would empathize with and support another human more easily than an AI. So the AI work is kept as much as possible in the background. Though, of course, humans are also contrarian fucks, so there is bound to be a serious audience specifically for AI performers too.
No.27810

The /d/eviant girl managed to kiss the boy without subsequently raping him. I'm surprised.

The lyrics being repetitive was a minor annoyance before, but these last few episodes have made it outright aggravating. It'd be one thing if it was just Angela's pop songs being made by AI as some nod to how dull pop music is, but they're instead all praising it as the second coming of Christ when it's just mediocre, and C&T give us a second verse of Loneliest Girl this time but the chorus doesn't change at all even though it should've.
Meanwhile C&T keep going through dramatic setbacks that don't actually set them back. I seriously hope this isn't the last we'll see of Cybelle because right now they're just brushing over what should've been a major event and a traumatic time for Tuesday.
