So out of curiosity, is anyone else watching Sanrio Boys? I gotta say that this show surprised me. I didn't have any expectations going in, but I'm actually really enjoying it. I've never been a huge fan of Sanrio, but the show has done a really great job at getting me to care about the guys. I legit almost cried when they went into Kouta's backstory.
As a side note, I find it interesting how at one point during every episode, the camera does a first person POV where the audience gets to 'interact' with the guys in some way. For instance, in an episode Kouta is looking for something and then turns toward the camera and asks "Did you see where they went?". I don't recall ever watching a series that did that. |

^ I am. It's reasonably pleasant and mostly harmless.
![]() I'm also watching gdgd men's party. It's actually a lot of fun, since I think they're ad-libbing most of it. I don't think I could stand the gdgd Fairies though, since a concentrated dose of the girls' voices would likely drive me right up the wall. The Princess moment in men's party is quite enough (but also usually pretty funny). |

So I just finished watching Kakegurui that was finally released by Netflix on the first and I have to say, it was definitely one of the more crazier rides I’ve experienced in my time as an anime fan. I’ve heard from some places on the Internet that’s it’s a terrible gambling series, which I disagree. In fact, I prefer to think of it as more of a thriller that contains gambling rather than just a plain old regular gambling series, and in that aspect, it succeeds fairly well. I was certainly entertained the whole way through and was never once bored. It’s also a series that I think people shouldn’t take so seriously because it’s pretty deliberately going over-the-top with basically everything in it, which is partly why I found most of the characters interesting and the way they gamble to be fun to watch. Yes, the whole cast pretty much aren’t good people, but it’s pretty fitting in my opinion to be that way considering the way the whole setting is handled. It was far from flawless, but overall, I quite liked it and I’ll definitely be looking forward to season 2.

Not to many anime this season that have really caught my attention so I've gone old school and have been watching the original Gatchaman series. While kind of silly it's not to bad. Plus I love that old animation, even if some frames go full potato. The Blu ray definitely adds an interesting effect.

The scriptwriter of Minami no Niji no Lucy (Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow) is Miyazaki Akira 宮崎晃. Not Miyazaki Hayao 宮崎駿. Miyazaki Akira had been a writer-director for the Shōchiku company. He also wrote the scripts of some anime which were produced by Nippon Animation. Miyazaki Akira is a well-known scriptwriter, at least, to people who are knowledgeable about anime produced by Nippon Animation. http://www.nippon-animation.co.jp/work/1408/ |

Thanks for putting me straight. I misread the ANN encyclopaedia. Well, that changes everything I wrote. ![]() |

Saiki K. is back for another season (but sadly no forum thread), and 3 episodes in it's as good as ever. This last episode had the best graduation scenario I've ever seen (perhaps only topped by Buffy's "Omg, he's going to do the whole speech..."). The singing of the school song was perfectly, hilariously out of sync and semi-off-key, with that classic dirge-like tempo of unrehearsed congregations singing a capella without a director to keep it moving. I was dying through the whole thing.

It's a pleasure. Since Miyazaki Akira also co-wrote the screenplays of some Otoko wa Tsuraiyo films (Tora-san films), fans of Japanese cinema, too, may know about Miyazaki Akira. (He had been an assistant director to film director Yamada Yōji.) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002LFPBGU/ It seems that 2channellers of 2ch/5ch's Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow thread are talking about you. |

For fun I used Chrome's page translation thingy to translate the page. It's google translate so the translation is probably all wrong. Might be due to wonky translation but this one comment was absolutely hilarious:
