I stayed to watch anime because I have zero desire to watch anything on my own these days lmao, and I'm glad I did because we saw some good episodes!!

We watched the gacha episode of Odd Taxi. I've seen clips from it, so I knew what was coming with the dodo, but I was not expecting the YJA bidding bit. It killed me, because I too have gotten stuck in bidding wars (last spring I spent more than twice over my limit on a gorgeous fukuro obi ahahaha rip me altho it was worth it in the end).

I'm really liking Odd Taxi, I love how contemporary and human it is (despite the animal characters heh), especially how they've managed to include social media in a way that feels real and not overly forced or ridiculed. I'm also a huge fan of stories with a big cast of characters with their own separate story lines that eventually mix. I think it's very neat and cool to see how one seemingly small action ends up being significant for someone or something else. The only problem with this is, that because I watch this show with two weeks between each episode, it's a bit difficult to remember everything that might be of importance, or how one thing came to be. It definitely feels like a show with a lot of rewatch value to catch all the connections and foreshadowing.

I was also very happy to stay and watch more Gankutsuou. We're only on episode 3, but so far I've loved every single minute of it. I can't wait to see where this goes, because I can tell that the tension and drama will be delicious and heart wrenching.

Great Pretender was a lot of fun as well. It's cool to see characters outsmart each other and satisfying when it looks like they're about to get caught, but it turns out that they've thought and prepared for everything in advance. I don't know how Edamura will get out of preparing sakura magic in front of the director, but I'm sure he'll find a way.

I did sneak out a bit during Kamichu! to see the final minutes of TRHPS, because I had to see what kind of vibe they were having. I could barely hear anything from them, so at times I questioned if they were even watching it?? But they were, just in complete silence. I guess that's one way to do it.

Earlier I talked about not liking Kamichu! a whole lot, and while it's certainly not a favourite of mine, some episodes have been decent. The episode I missed half of had Yurie negotiate with a martian on behalf of the prime minister which was/seemed fun! The second episode we watched had her be sick and lonely for a few days, which felt incredibly pointless and boring to me, although I get how it might feel significant for someone in middle school.

Then we watched episode 4 of Bokurano where the kids finally learn that Zearth runs on their life forces. I liked this episode, and I'm glad to see how Kodama got to learn his lesson and then die. I'm curious to see what will happen next and how the whole series will end.

Finally, we watched two episodes of Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! In my last post I was cautiously optimistic about it, and now I can confirm that it's a good show! It's funny, the bits are short enough not to get overplayed, it has very nice character dynamics and interactions and it doesn't solely focus on the romance, so that part hasn't gotten stale in any way. It really helps that Tomo and Jun are best friends, so they bounce back from all the misunderstandings and awkwardness without it becoming a huge deal. It's also sweet to see how clearly Jun likes her back, making the show a wholesome slow-burn. Also, it's really cool to see a tomboyish lead who's very comfortable with themselves and their style, and how whenever she does try to be more feminine (to catch Jun's attention as per the premise of the show) she tends to do it on her terms.

Overall I'm happy with what we're watching (except for Kamichu! which I could live without).

I know I shouldn't look at clickbait anime stories. Especially ones titled things like "Top 10 Anime Series for Ghibli Fans". I am fully aware that such listicles only exist to let lazy and/or overworked writers get by on zero knowledge and three google searches.

But why would you include Inuyasha, of all the goddamned things, and not the brilliant and atmospheric Kamichu?

Autumn is also the mark of a new semester of anime for me to watch with the anime club I'm in. We started 6 new shows and will pick up 2 more in the spring, as we ended up with shorter ones this time around.

First of, we started with Odd Taxi, which I voted for and am happy to be watching. I tried to watch it when it originally aired, but something about the tone and atmosphere put me off from it. However, it also seemed unique enough that I always felt like I was missing out and needed to get back to it one day, and now I will be forced to watch it, yay!

Then we're watching Gankutsuou, which I also voted for and have been wanting to watch for years. I cannot state how much I love the style. I'm always here for tragedies and revenge stories as well. Beyond that I'm not sure what to expect, since this is NOT the Count of Monte Cristo story I'm familiar with, but I'm super exited to finally be watching it!

Although I didn't vote for Great Pretender, I'm happy to be watching it as well. It always seemed like a fun series, but I think Netflix kept it from me with their dumb release schedules. It's refreshing to watch anime not set in Japan and I love watching the scams unfold, so I'm hoping to have a good time with it.

Then we're watching Kamichu! I like the older style and setting, the gods seem cool, but the protagonist has been a little meh. Others in the anime club said that all the anime we're watching now can be divided into tragedies and dense romances, and I hate dense romances (at least with straight characters) so I'm worried I'll have a bad time with this show. So far I'm pleased that her romantic interest doesn't show her any interest at all, because I'm dead inside I like stories about unrequited feelings (although I'm sure he'll come to like her eventually) and it prevents this from being a "dense romance" in the sense that the characters clearly like each other but are unable to progress their relationship, which is very frustrating most of the time. I'm coming in with some petty prejudices, and I'm hoping to get something more out of this, since I will be forced to watch it anyway.

Back to something exciting and tragic, we're also watching Bokurano, which I've also been wanting to watch for years. I only know that it's a mecha anime where all the kids will die, and that it's apparently one of the most tragic anime ever made. It's a little annoying to be watching it with company, since others keep making comments about that, but the first two episodes had me hooked. I'm super interested in seeing where this will be going, and as an aside, I'm a huge fan of both the opening and the ending. As soon as I left the meeting I had to open up youtube, tap the search bar, and then close my eyes as I typed in "bokurano full op/ed" without a single glance at some unwanted suggestion of "x death" or whatever twist might be coming up.

Lastly, we're watching Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko! I've seen the first episode before, and almost left without watching it again, but my fomo and uncertain personality made me stay, and I'm glad I did, because this show is actually quite funny. It helps that the two mains have a close relationship already, and that they're both oblivious to some social cues/norms, so it's not just about them two awkwardly blushing and stuttering together, but them being oddballs in general with good chemistry together. It keeps the denseness less frustrating and more fun. I'm not sure if it'll continue to be funny for 12 more episodes (there are shows that manage that, like GSNK), but so far I don't hate it!

Once we finish the shorter shows, we'll start watching Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road and Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo. I've seen Shoukei Shoujo before, and I liked it okay, although the anime suffers from only scratching the surface of who the characters are. At least I'm looking forward to seeing some of the twists again, because they were really cool! I have no idea what to expect with Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo. I'm hoping for it to be a forgotten gem, but we'll see. I'll keep you updated whenever I have something to update you with!

Tama from Kamichu!

Today's AniAnimal is Tama, a female cat possessed by a male god of poverty in "Kamichu!". Her Bruce Lee-style fighting sequence is amazing. 今日のアニアニマルは『かみちゅ！』の男の貧乏神に取り憑かれたメス猫の タマ。タマのブルース・リー風の叩きは素晴らしいです。
