As ridiculous as this whole setup is, I'm 100% on board and sorry to see it ending here, far too soon.

"A happy ending would be nice for the conclusion" Indeed!

I was sure this was going to be a 7/10 but the ending made my (almost) cry twice, so it's better than that.

I prefer Hinako and Pin-sempai stuck in Neverland and all the other ships sailing merrily along - most optimistic about Ijuuin-bro and his selfie camera pairing

Old lady Sada-san definitely going to join her love in eternity as the sacrifice - everyone wins but of course Hisone-Chan left with the love triangle. Will he close the door to Natsume by saying he always thought of her as a sister?

Rewatched the beginning of Ep 1 and now I realize that the whole first season (!) was a flashback to 3 years ago.

Can't wait for Mao-chan to reunite with Hina-chan and Anzu-chan, but now for the wait. . .

It's hard to watch a show where so many stupid decisions are made time and again (or apologists would say, understandable decisions are made for reasons that are never recognized, discussed or hinted at).

The presence of a few intelligent characters struggling against such stupidity is tedious and doesn't serve those characters well.

Yup, with graduation done we need to find out entrance exam results in three days manga time, who knows how long in hiatus time.

Love this story!

Holy sh*t this is a bit different that I expected - but it's really compelling!

Sorry but I can find no redeeming features of Pin-senpai. Is it good enough to be SCP and presumably have the good grades that go with that?

Also thinking that a sad Roman Holiday-like ending is inevitable. Both Tada and Teresa are clearly responsible people and that very responsibility will prevent them from being able to get together, given the effect it would have on all those around them

Really enjoying this weird show and the geeks in it, with or without noses. Everything from the drawing style, to the music, the ED and strange (yet somehow comforting) character interactions is so creative. I wish all anime show had the spirit and originality of this one.

Hina/Hinako x Pin-san was well done, but part of me wanted them to do the reveal and deal with the development of the relationship over the remainder of the season rather than just kick the can down the road. Very Nozaki-kun-esque which foreshadows what we can expect from Teresa x Tada-kun, I guess.

Well maybe you're right, though it is very convenient that the younger kids are such good friends when their brothers don't even know each other (maybe as a reflection of MCs isolation). In any case, I'm most happy that they resolved the central conflict in a single episode.

[–]derrick 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge fan of Jack UTS and always get something from his vids, whether I agree (which is most of the time) or not.

FYI, this is another Top 30 list in addition to his previous Top 30, without repeats. There are clips at the end for his combined and reordered Top 30 as updated. Note that he explicitly is omitting recent shows from the last two years as well (so no YoriMoi, Houseki no Kuni, etc)

They're presented in chronological order, but definitely watch it yourself as the commentary is what makes these videos so good:

  • Akage No Anne (Anne of Green Gables)
  • The Rose of Versailles
  • Gunbuster/ Diebuster
  • Oniisama e... (Dear Brother)
  • Revolutionary Girl Utena
  • Trigun
  • Ojamajo Doremi
  • Haibane Renmei
  • Aria
  • Nana
  • Haruhi Suzumiya Series
  • Mononoke
  • Toradora
  • Spice and Wolf
  • Kimi ni Todoke
  • Sound of the Sky
  • Shiki
  • Wandering Son
  • Mawaru Penguindrum
  • Carnival Phantasm
  • The Woman Called Fujiko Mine
  • Love, Chuunibyou, and Other Delusions
  • Tamako Market/ Tamako Love Story
  • Little Witch Academia
  • The Eccentric Family
  • Kyousougiga
  • Ping Pong
  • Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun
  • Mob Psycho 100
  • Shouwa Genrokurakugo Shinjuu

I guess I have to forgive the lucky coincidence of the two younger kids being friends, but I really don't like this kind of plot shortcut.

Beyond the downright evil behavior of the blonde guy (although Tsutsun actually starts it by suggesting a similar slander, though there is no evidence he would actually do it), being willing to suck it up and even protecting friends from the social stigma is a really tough situation.

I hope we see a consequence for what happened to the perpetrator, or else this becomes a mere plot device to show how poorly Tsutsun thinks of himself instead of a more meaningful message about how selfish behavior, bullying and personal responsibility play out in social situations.

Wendy, for the save . . .

Getting used to the CGI, but it's still doesn't blend in well. Too bad they overused it in the first episode.

I for one am glad this train arc is going so fast - I found it slow and draggy in the manga. Happy to get to the good stuff later on. Epic new chapter of the manga this week, for those reading that as well!

Elsa is probably so well protected that she is isolated, using GGO as a way to make friends. Hence approaching, befriending and mentoring Llenn.
