9. Miao slices 2010 Summer

   It's that time upon us: the thin-slicing time (at a blog that changes identities so often that we'll just call it "Miao's place" henceforth). I figured long ago that his order really means nothing, nor should it (I mean, you just look at all those haters of Mitsudomoe, they even …

10. Mori on group sizes

    I think 3 is best for the long-term narrative construction. And one more thing:

    Five implies a sentai show.

    Right, but I was surprised to learn from Sunred that you can have a sentai group of 3 (e.g. Red himself as Weather Red, Weather Blue, and Weather Yellow).

    BTW …

11. The 2010 Summer season

    This is one unbelievable season... Too much to watch. Why can't Japan kinda spread it a little?

    Mitsudomoe: A polarizing show if there was one, especially thematically. But the astonishing beauty of animation is acknowledged even by its detractors. Apparently it's a flag show for a new studio in the …

12. Zyl on Cat Shit One

    At Sea Slugs:

    Unpacking Packy’s decision to go in on the basis of this key scene: White Camel’s order to kill the rabbit who attempted to run away is seriously bad news, a deliberate act of murder rather than a spontaneous outburst by an ill disciplined underling. Tired …

13. Miao on Mitsudomoe 03

    I don't care for his attempts to ride the concept of "brokenness", but we need more blogging commentary like this:

    Dad was awesome. A role model, really. I liked how he thought it was a good idea to run through the city while clutching his daughter’s underwear a la …

14. Nova on Cat Shit One

    Looks like he liked it:

    The combat is both thrilling and amusing to watch as cute rabbits pump jihad camels full of lead, and it shows that the production crew has taken considerable time studying modern combat tactics and weaponry. As an old military enthusiast it pleases me to see …

15. Pleasures of international piracy

    Tried out watching SW2 02 at Rutube. Subs are pretty bad in the liberties they take in order to add the spice. In America, translator's butt would've been handed to him on a platter in various forums.

    

    I'm sticking with raws for now. But it's good to have some backup …

16. Wonderduck on Seitokai Yakuindomo

    Oh noes:

    The difference between the two is pretty clearcut: Ichizon was funny.

    Ichizon was nasty garbage (what's worse, in a moment of weakness I fell for peer pressure and tried it twice). With that in mind, and knowing that my and Wonderduck's tastes are usually diametrically opposed, I am …

17. Kurogane on Campanella 03

    This is intriguing:

    One thing I’m quite liking about Campanella is how they are doing a better job of depicting an RPG game than most other RPG game anime adaptations. Ironic since it’s actually an eroge in origin.

    My luck with the quote-unquote "RPG" genre was mostly bad …

18. Mitsudomoe 03

    With ep.3, Mitsudomoe got its mojo back. Certainly, doubts in the long-term viability of the formula are going to persist, and then the usual "slice of life" problem is going to occur, but then, how many episodes did The Simpsons run for?

    

    One thing I appreciated in particular was …
