Golden Kamuy 1 | Butlers x Battlers 1 | Mahou Shoujo Ore 2 | Idolish7 15

Golden Kamuy 1

It’s time to go all in for gore and action!

If there was enough to scar his face, he’s definitely not immortal. I tell you that about Sugimoto.

Monme is a term used for weighing pearls, apparently.

A kan was mentioned in the link I provided last dotpoint as 30 monmes…Yikes…

The realistic fire actually throws me off somewhat.

Souns like the One Piece, only…more obviously Japanese.

Ezo. I knew I’d read this name somewhere – it was in a Crunchyroll article about this show!

Am I dreaming or is that bear a littttttle too realistic-looking? Last time a bear was in an anime was Armed Girls’ Machiavellianism, and I didn’t like that so much…

Normally the symbol for Russia is a bear (even today, just look at Vladimir Putin fight them bears!) so (strangely) I’m not surprised Sugimoto made a connection between monster bears and Russians.

Hokkaido winter. Must be nasty, eh?

There’s something strange about watching a CGI bear and wolf fight, y’know? Especially when the blood of the bear is 2D.

Postcredits scene. Keep watching…

Ooh, this show’s definitely a keeper!

Butlers x Battlers 1

After being swayed by Cactus Matt to give this show a chance, I am doing just that…very hesitantly…

Eye blink animation? Okay, I think anime just went over the cliff for “too much info we didn’t need”. It works for a VN, but not an actual first-person scene in an anime.

What is the opposite of “touchable” anyways (by using a prefix)?

I feel sorry for the owl that gets held up by one of the boys…

OLDCODEX? They did an OP for Servamp. They must be pretty perfect for a show like this, then.

About the ep title: Toki is literally “time”, there is a specific word for “moment” in Japanese y’know…

“High-spec” is not a word I would ever want to hear in relation to a student council. I’d like to hear it for a computer, though.

Both “Jinguji” and “Koma” look like last names at first glance…

Ohh! Pretty! Ren’s name means “lotus” (often the white variety is shown for that kind of flower, right?), aside from the obvious callout to the colour white in his surname.

I half-expect every new character intro to have a sparkly introduction thing with it. For this sort of show, which hasn’t done anything with the sister(?) from the beginning moments, it seems kind of…inundating the series with characters for characters’ sake. That’s bad, y’know.

Couldn’t you show and not tell this “your grades are high” bit?

Wait. So that was a transition (when J walked in and it just suddenly moved to Tenna)? Sure didn’t look like one.

If Ren’s colour is white, then why is Dracula white???

“Fast river”…? Eh? Update: Yeah, J’s right…

At first I thought the comedic timing on this show was great, but the girls’ owl gag didn’t work for me…

Oh man. I’ll never remember this amount of characters if they’re doing all the namecards in the first episode! Adding a mystery to an already packed show is not going to help matters at all. Holmes looks like a Diabolik Lovers reject, to make matters worse…

Akira reminds me of the owner from Ameiro Cocoa for some reason. Getting an Ameiro Cocoa reference is definitely not a good thing for this show…

The letter transition was better than the last one, at least.

Kageyama Hikari? That sounds extremely counterintuitive for a name… (Note: kage = shadow, hikari = light)

J didn’t even get his drink, did he? I would’ve liked some bishie sparkle to make this look a bit better. The prettiness of the still visuals really got downgraded through the animation process.

“You and I are both Butlers!” – Uh, no they’re not. One’s a café attendant and the other’s a student (LOL).

What even is a Blood Spirit??? You can’t even see the birth mark when it’s pointed out (you just get a blue light), so there’s something mighty fishy about that…

So…this is a time travel show??? Wut? Post-credits scene though, keep watching…

What are those characters under the episode title? I can’t tell.

There are enough bits of interesting stuff to keep me watching, but I anticipate this’ll be like Tsukigakirei (as in, I keep complaining about the bad parts, even if I enjoy the show in general). That’s why it’s going on hold. By the way, I thought about Nil Admirari and that’s been dropped, but I’ll reevaluate it if I need something that fits its niche sometime in the future.

Mahou Shoujo Ore 2

I’ve signed up for a collab on this series, so it seems like it’ll be sticking around for a while.

The cutesy voices of the monsters really sells this show, eh?

This joke (“I’m me”)…there was a similar one in Cute x Boy (“I’m just Jun”/ “Tada[ ]no Jun”), which really brings me back…ahh, nostalgia.

If you’re talking about what pronouns people use, the manager uses “ore” as well, which is a tad confusing (LOL).

This love for Saki’s male form…it must be genetic! (LOL)

Wow, real photos really sold this gag. They’re certainly gonna run it into the ground real quick as this rate, though…

How did they manage the upside-down…oh wait, Spanish subtitles. Rightttttttttttttttt…

Oh no. Don’t do the fanservice. It’s disturbing on a ma-oh, never mind. It happened. Let it go.

The deep voice they chose for Sakuyo’s male form definitely sold that. Excecution is key, remember?

The Sailor Moon parody line in the preview, that was absolutely fabulous! Oh, but the word used is “fueta” (increased) and technically it’s not “Another” in most senses of the term…or any senses, in fact.

This show’s going on a 1 month hiatus…which is really sabotaging my schedule, but what can you do about it? Nothing, aside from wait.

Wait, that end bit was definitely different. Normally everyone raises their hands at this stage and the plane goes off into the distance. This time everyone brings their hands out from under Riku’s and no plane is in the sky…things are really getting serious. Is it wrong that this show sometimes makes me a bit anxious?

Sometimes it’s hard to believe Riku and Iori are brothers…

What’s with the fish-eye lens on Tsumugi and the van?

The point of fans is to be in tune with their idols and vice versa. That’s the power of idols and their fans!

I noticed Gaku is wearing a cross necklace. That certainly wouldn’t fly on American TV, would it?

I got kinda anxious with the last lot of episodes that concerned the song theft, so that explains why I’m feeling kind of anxious now as well…

I think I understand the use of the fish-eye lens now. This one particularly gives an idea of invasion and creepiness. It’s probably more spot on than Junji Ito Collection, and that’s saying something!

It’s interesting that Sougo takes on the role of the surrogate mother here for Tamaki…

“We can’t shoot a show like this!”

If Gaku hits his dad, that’s a lot of dad-punching for one series…two hits in a row…

It’s in times of desperation that Tenn looks like his brother.

Whoa! Those leopard eyes signal some major danger on the horizon! If only the show weren’t going on hiatus…

Post-credits scene! Keep watching.

Even the titlecard is grey, and Otoharu’s opening his eyes. Stuff really is getting serious around here! Yikes!

Okay, here’s details on the hiatus. Until then, I’ll be taking on more spring shows. See you then…
