Pretty much the same thoughts on it.
Though it was actually pretty crazy they went with an ending thatreally seems like it's saying "frick climate change, it's not worth giving up personal happiness to prevent since we'll adapt anyways". I'm not sure if that was actually the intended message, but it's hard for me to read anything else into it. I don't know how else you can interpret him saving her from a life without any modern amenities at the cost of Tokyo flooding.

I went in thinking it was going to be some tryhard edgy show that I would drop, but it honestly wasn't that much heavier than Goblin Slayer. One of the heavier scenes was already done in Evenicle. Legitimately watched it for the plot. The ecchi was pulled off much better than most shows however.

They would need 100+ episodes for the entire story, And there's a lot of meetings, that might not convert to anime so well. The manga will take no joke 10 years to catch up, minimum. Sorry bud, but you've got no other choice than to get to readmaxxing. Nobody has ever regretted reading bookworm, just saying...
(I'm legally required to inform you that I am in fact an unpaid shill for TO Books, the publisher of Ascendance of a Bookworm.)
As for the Slime movie, hopefully Crunchyroll picks it up fast. but I guess it has to stop airing in theaters in Japan first.

I'm mad about Bocchi's latest episode. Why'd they have to do the performance scene in 3DCG? (And don't give me any of that "they traced over the 3DCG so it's actually done in 2D" bullshit, it's still 3DCG at its core.) Everywhere else throughout the show they've had great animation and then for one of the core scenes it's completely sterile, always on-model, souless animation. The direction for the scene was fine even, but the models and character animation were super disappointing.

Idk the anime you talking about, but 3DCG really has been a disaster for anime, its always looks bad, and even if they do their best to conceal it it still looks uncanny.

Bocchi the Rock. It's about a girl who autismmaxxes into playing guitar to try to get popular and then realizes she still doesn't actually have any social skills. And I completely agree. It wasn't even anywhere near the worst I've seen, but the rest of the show has been so on top of it from an animation stand-point (not KyoAni level, but still alright) both in terms of quality and creativity that using 3D for what should have been a sakuga scene stuck out like a sore thumb. There was even a closeup of the guitarist's hands while they were doing a short speedpicking phrase but the whole cut was done on 2s and it looks like she's just vaguely flailing over the pickups, like they had a computer pick the frames and they just traced over them without even realizing that they didn't match up with the music or even have the resolution to do so.

Anyone watched these movies and can post their thoughts? I heard they were kino, was planning on checking them out:
Tamako Love Story
The Boy and the Beast
Hotarubi no Mori (Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light)
Patema Inverted
Classmates
Children Who Chase Lost Voices
Josee, the Tiger and the Fish
These movies were recommended alongside Maquia: When the Flower Blooms - which was one of the best kino animated movies I've seen alongside Ghibli films. So I'm wondering if these stack up in quality.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Hotarubi no Mori is pure. Just a fantastic portrayal of growing up. But I am biased towards that genre.
Tamako Love Story was meh.
Another similar movie was words bubble up like soda pop which was interesting more so from how much it taught me about haiku than about the movie itself.
Haven’t seen the rest.

Hotarubi is 6/10 at best watched it with foids during a film festival nearly wanted to slit my throat because they thought it was le masterpiece while I was busy not falling asleep.
Patema has a dumb premise and isnt particularly interesting. I also saw this at the same festival and it was somewhat appreciated by the younger audience. So if you like the taste of adolescent kids (yeah i did that on purpose) you'll love it.

The fights are cool true, and I understand the purpose of showing off what side characters can actually do. But most side characters in Naruto stay that way, so any attention given to them is a distraction from the main story because they almost never enter into the main story. I don’t hate the Chunin exams but I’m glad the main attack on the village is finally starting.
Also little kid Naruto can be really annoying. It’s also funny that Neji is right about destiny and all that because Shippuden established Naruto is basically Jesus and was always meant to be.

Nah, Naruto is written for dumb kid/teens so any meaningful analysis is completely redundant. Naruto went from a solid 5-6/10 to borderline insulting garbage during the great war and its aftermath (w/e the Kaguya Arc was).
