Free Talk Fridays - Week of May 04, 2018

This week's rankings

Anime Miscellany, part 2:

  • I'm going to start referring to Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori as Bro-kago Tea Time.

  • Wotakoi made a Macross reference, even if Kabakura acts in a deculture manner towards Hanako! Also, loved what Hirotaka says to Narumi at the end since it's a great character development moment - it's clear that he does like Narumi and it's not just because it's the convenient option.

  • DiTF: The Kids Are Alright living in a Teenage Wasteland, but it's clear they're becoming disillusioned with the world Papa's created. Maybe They Won't Get Fooled Again. That uneasy undercurrent of unrest is bubbling below the surface and we can see the cracks deepen into fissures. isn't speculation anymore.

  • Someone needs to make an AMV using the flying scenes from Hisone to Maso-tan set to Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone. Of all the pilots introduced this week, I think my favorite is Eru and how driven she is. Also, of all the callsigns we've seen, I think is the one that's appropriately embarrassing and I love how Hisone keeps referencing it to Nao's chagrin.

  • Hinamatsuri without Hina almost works since the other girls are written with depth, though I think the "OMG HITOMI WORKS AS A BARTENDER!" plot thread's about run its course.
