Weekly Anime Post 49

I dont really have much to talk about this week. I watched the first few episodes of 'NHK ni yokoso' (3 I think), but didnt have time to watch more this week. So far idk if I like it, its really awkward sometimes, and I found the (pretty loud) music that often plays in the background annoying. I will keep watching for now though.

For suggestions, I think the best way to do it is pool suggestions one week, than cast a vote on those suggestions next week. That way there should be a discussion every two weeks :marseysal:

So, if you have an anime that you would like everyone to watch and discuss, put it in the comments.

So do you guys want to watch Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei or Welcome to the NHK for anime club™ ? If you want to join in, you should watch the winner of this poll (decided 24 hrs from when I'm posting this) by the 27th so we can discuss it.

Will we be watching in a group or is this like a book club where you have the week to watch a few episodes?

I was thinking the second. If someone wanted to organize a watch together, feel free, but I'm out of town for a bit so I won't be streaming it.

Honestly, #2 sounds better. #1 should be reserved for special events and movies, and should use like Watch2gether not groomcord.

>In his isolation, he has come to believe in many obscure conspiracy theories, but there is one in particular which he holds unshakable faith in: the theory that the evil conspirator behind his shut-in NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) status is the Nihon Hikikomori Kyokai (NHK)—an evil and secret organization dedicated to fostering the spread of hikikomori culture.

Overlord is not bad but also overrated.

Tentai Senshi Sunred is best in small doses.

Blade of the Immortal is good fun samurai fights. Rated at 6.7/10, but in reality that's better than 80% of all anime.

This is neco arc:

Whats interesting (well I never thought about it) about Overlord is that its probably not even an Isekai. Momonga doesnt have a soul, he is just an Undead with the memories of a human player from a MMORPG. There is a high probability he is his own entire identity and that the original human man still exists in the real world. There is no soul or humanity in him which is why he lost his grasp on it.

Maybe, but he seems to have his humanity because the narrator constantly mentions how weird it is that he doesn't feel so bad about the humans he kills. There's also that 'green aura' that kicks in whenever he feels too strongly about something. He does a lot of second-guessing in his original human voice too. So, it seems like it's a person trapped in the confines of a character (or he's memories of a person but can't prove that either way). It's isekai enough because of the D&D fantasy theme.

Knowledge of what humanity is =/ humanity. He knows what is wrong bht he acknowledges he doesnt care.

I watched a lot of anime but somehow never watched Evangelion. Saw it and the movie on Netflix lately and it was really good imo.

Finally finished Monster. Had really good parts, but was way too long and had a stupid ending.

Going to finish Kaguya Sama then move to Fate/Zero.

Btw, this current season of Overlord seems to be the best one so far. Doesn't seem like enjoyable trash - it's actually good this season.

Yeah, Monster was way too long and had a stupid ending. It's like the author didn't know how to end the story so they just kept dragging it on until it was finally over. Kaguya Sama is much better and I'm glad I'm finally finished with it. As for Overlord, it's been good this season but I'm not sure if it's worth watching.

I agree that this season of Overlord has probably been the best.

I didn’t watch the thing because it sounded boring :marseyclueless: I still think a book club of sorts is a good idea though.


Meanwhile, I’m continuing to get through Gundam SEED. It’s honestly a great series and I don’t get why some people poo poo on it. I just wish characters were drawn with more defined faces.

It does copy 0079 in a lot of ways, but I didn’t think this was a weakness because a) it’s a solid story, and b) they honestly did a few things better this time around. SEED does a good job with its morally grey setting and anti-war message since ZAFT leadership isn’t as ridiculously evil as Zeon’s. Whereas the One Year War feels like a WWII esque conflict that needed to be fought — you can’t just stand around doing nothing while Gihren rains colonies on people — the Valentine War felt more pointless and avoidable, thus the main characters are sympathetic in their quest to deescalate since no one faction was correct or capable of giving the world a lasting peace. The worldbuilding around Coordinators is also more interesting to me than the weird Newtype whatnot from UC.

People seem to complain about the characters a lot, but the only one that really bugs me is Flay. Kira is angsty but doesn’t monologue like other main characters, which makes him much more bearable. I also liked the addition of a recurring team of “bad guy” ace pilots to hunt the Archangel. Meanwhile, and in contrast to ZAFT being more reasonable than Zeon, it’s interesting that the resident Char clone is actually a malevolent character as opposed to being one of the more honorable ace pilots. Even if he wears the mask and has pretty blonde hair, Rau seemed to be written as a deliberate inversion of a Char clone, and it helps to make him stand out as his own character. The show also has plenty of unique plot beats to stand out from 0079, like the Archangel’s defection from the Federation and the latter’s slide into antagonistic territory, for example.

I’m not finished yet, but I look forward to the ending. I’ve already heard how SEED Destiny drops the ball in comparison, but at this point I might sit through it anyway like I sat through 00 Season 2. I’ll probably take a break first by finishing Victory or rewatching The Origin.

I’m telling you, man. It’s a hyper realistic and gritty sci-fi war story.

Well in the original series Lacus sang for like 6 episodes in a row.

Lots of Beam spam.

And SEED Destiny takes a giant dumb in it as they bring back Kira "Jesus" Yamato.

On the other hand Murrue Ramius is a total BAE.

SEED Is popular for mech designs and with women.

If you finish SEED and are still enjoying it, go find the side stories like RED Astray. Not as good as the UC side stories but they are great.

I also haven't managed to watch NHK. It's been on my mental watch list for a while but I haven't gotten around to it due to availability as I said last week. I do like the the idea of watching an anime for these threads tho and will participate if I have time.

This week I've been busy reading the new Honzuki volume, and re-reading previous chapter. I fricking love honzuki so much it's unreal. I don't understand it because I've never felt the need to re-read or re-watch stuff to this extent before. P2 The attendants holding such important roles is interesting, most of the time they are just nameless background characters but here they are front and center. It's interesting I think.

Get out of here, you filthy weeb. You have no place in this community if you can't appreciate a classic like Bunny Girl Senpai.
