A thoughtful response to current anime.
We’re on our last episode of TWGOK season 2. I may as well finish at least one show from spring season before summer season starts. And since I doubt they’re going to try to cram a full capture into a single episode, it’ll probably be a delicious filler-style episode, hopefully rescuing my opinion of it [...]
Ok, last time on TWGOK season 2 Keima finally found the lead he needed to begin cracking the Nagase case. Apparently something bad happened happened to her basketball team in high school? So what this means is A) flashbacks and B) sports. Ugh. I tried watching Eyeshield 21 for a while, that’s pretty much removed [...]
Now let’s return to the world of The World God Only Knows, and watch Keima try to clear the teacher route. The teacher route was the best route in Persona 3, it moved me to tears. What a great game. I don’t think Persona 4 even had a teacher route. Neither did Fate/Stay Night, I [...]
Last episode on TWGOK was maybe filler, but maybe it was cover for the reintroduction of Haqua, the tsundere demoness with a high opinion of herself. Is “high opinion of herself” redundant with “tsundere”? I can’t think of any tsunderes that didn’t have a high opinion of themselves… I’m not sure I can think of [...]
Last episode on TWGOK we successfully concluded Chihiro’s arc. But it was only after a long period of doubt and soulsearching on Keima’s part. Is he starting to let his personal feelings get in the way of the mission? Has he started feeling like the real world might have something to offer after all? Is [...]
In TWGOK, we are still in the midst of the arc where Keima puts his considerable talents toward seducing a dude. If you think about it, you’d probably be better at that than at seducing a chick if you were just basing things off what you learned from dating sims. If a dating sim is [...]
So I have been thinking about the last episode of The World God Only Knows and… how precise is that Loose Soul Radar that Elsie has, anyway? It seems to go off when it detects a loose soul within a certain proximity, and beeps for a while, then stops and does not respond to that [...]
I remember I was worried about something at the end of the last episode of TWGOK, what was it? Oh, right, that demon chick didn’t leave at the end of her arc, and now they are going to make me care about the supernatural elements of the show, and turn it into a fighting anime [...]
Sorry I haven’t posted in a couple days, there is a tournament running for hit indie opensource roguelike Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. I am currently ranked 23rd! I bet I am going to slip a bunch as I start making more time for anime though. Let’s pick up The World God Only Knows, where they [...]
Last episode in The World God Only Knows, we were introduced another demon chick. On the one hand, this is exciting, because so far every demon chick we have seen in this show has been pretty great. More demon chicks = more better, that is the trend that has held these past 15 episodes. On [...]
