eyyy separating them into their gumis! the gentaro and jyushi interaction is cute and i love how worried jyushi is about hifu thats so sweet of him
i love how thats the part that kuko focuses on www
LMAO ramuda's cute
i love how ichiro's accent just slipped out a bit there its cute
hm i still think kaibyakumon is in the right
Hey look at that! we finally got why kenji is so invested in them. would have liked to see more of the three but ill take what i can get
honestly i wanna ship akira and satoru so bad wwww they have so much ship potential
YES. THANK YOU RAMUDA. just let them destroy each other my goodness
idk if this show wants to villainize or humanize kaibyakumon. like on one hand everyone's against him on principle but i don't see why they should be?? Ramuda is right, hes the answer to 90% of the casts outside problems
RIP HITOYA LMAO
i love how samatoki is probably the only consistent character here and just wants to be the one to punch the government in the face www
ugh i really wanted ramuda to have won that argument. it suckksss they really went with the most boring path
poor doppo, i feel so bad for him
even poor hifumi can't stand to watch ripp
i love seeing rio in his element, hes kinda cute like that
lmao rei being waving off his own son as if hes just a brat
man i do hope that they get their just revenge. it would be nice but unfortunately impossible just because of the nature of this sort of anime
LMAO HES SO EXHAUSTED THAT HES HALLUCINATING OH NOOOOOOO i feel so bad for doppo sometimes
wow for all that talk of stealth rio just blew up a whole wall
OOOOO GUMI SONG!!!!!!!!!!
hmm i don't like the last two songs as much but there is intresting wordplay to be found in ciaro's verses, especially one as an anti-governmental piece
damn so it seems like the last three episodes will be just the gumis going to each place and fighting off the others
oooo theres a bit of rio's rap ability on show with that shelter
HAHA DICE PUSHING RIO AWAYYYY
OH FUCK ARE THEY CORRUPTING THE DATA TO THE POINT WHERE THEY"RE KILLING AKIRA AND SATORU??????
ey look at that!! I did sort of predict the mass hypnosis! granted its subliminal messaging but im fine with being wrong once in a while
LMAO GAMBLER LIFE
damn theyre still gay after death
the "whos gonna answer my questions" has the same vibe as "who else will I eat icecream with?" thing from kingdom hearts wwww
bro i want a season just about these two idiots
hmm intresting design for scuro i do like it
man now i really do like akira and satoru. they're cool. I hate this bc i know in the end they'll die and kaibyakumon will get his ass kicked to preserve the status quo. i do hope that the anime does use this as a jumping off point tho bc the premise is pretty fun
tho they probably won't. as i said status quo as long as the source material still insists on the current status quo of keeping chuuoku in power. The drama CDs do seem like its building towards a conclusion but its not enough for any meaningful change yet.
tho the anime is original content and thus exists in a separate sphere from the CDs. Its entirely possible that they may move ahead and start shaking things up but i doubt it
lol why the dotsuhon ed they got so little screen time this episode ripp them

30 days Hypnosis Mic challenge
DAY 30: favorite Rhyme Anima song
🎤 「JACKPOT!」
(link)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE'VE FINALLY REACHED THE LAST DAY OF THIS CHALLENGE!
So, Jackpot! ...
To put it simply, this song kicks ass (to quote verbatim the words spoken by Dice exactly before he starts rapping, in the anime).
The great thing about this song is that it has a completely different vibe from other Fling Posse songs, more aggressive and "hypnotic," if you will.
Let'start by analyzing Ramuda's verse: I like how he's embraced the issue, it's reflected very well in the scratchiness that his voice takes on when he says yeah, as well as in the words he speaks.
Then there's Gentaro, with that almost overbearing way of saying "Only I am allowed to utter nonsense here".
OK CHILL, MAN.
Bat can we talk about the line where he says (in a rather sexy way, just to be original, u know) "Kooun o inottemasu, Good Luck! Nante uso desu (ha ha!) ...Good Bye~."
And I'm already flyyyyyyyyyying awaaaay.
And then there's DICE. My beloved Dice. Who, as I love to say, is especially busy here in terms of spitting out saliva and phlegm. I really like the "Wakari kitteru shouride wa mono tarinee (yo!)" part, in particular. This sends me high every time. Damn.
And finally, the whole sound of the chorus, guys … it's just great.
Needless to say, I know this one too entirely by heart, don't I? :)

New hypmic anime season and I'm BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN (I feel like the Martha I'm coming home sweetie audio)
Thoughts on the 1st ep of Hypmic Rhyme Anima+. Spoilers beware
New plotline lets gooooooo
I like that they're straying away from the drama tracks actually, Rhyme Anima is fundamentally a different experience from the core drama tracks which gives new material for both new and old fans
OP is an actual banger, Ramuda's verse is the best fight me all you want but you know i'm right
Nemu!! uh spoiler chara for anyone new to the anime I guess? Like they spoil her right at the introduction and iirc they didn't really build off her mystery in the first season. Makes her impact here a bit weaker but I'm willing to let it slide since some might not catch it
(Post Editing Astro here: I haven't rewatched Rhyme Anima since it finished airing and uh. Nemu definitely was a plot point there lol they dropped it after ep 11 but she was there!)
Jyushi my son I love you so much you idiot
I love the little stingers for each team that they did for each team, its so cute and gives so much personality
The visuals have definitely improved, a big step above the last season in terms of animation
i don't see an improvement with story writing though… Pacing is still all over the place and very squished/fast paced
makes sense since the cast has grown by a quarter since last season but still makes me sad that there isn't much time given to each character individually
I forgot how much I love the localization of Doppomine
Okay so Pink hair and Green hair in the flashback are most definitely the two in the white cloaks. Theres just no subtly with this series lmaoooo
Nice that they were able to incorporate everyone somehow but too many people means that too many parts to handle
I'm getting deja vu, this exact same thing happened last season….
Oh. Its the same guy. Makes sense lmfao
Listen bud I have minimal rap experience but that rap was just embarrassing wow. No rhyme or flow, there was only straight passion which i mean props I guess but you suck ass
Look at me being so smart and predicting all of these ahead of time without looking at any materials
Did Rio just contact Jyuto with his hypmic????
Samatoki have I ever said that I love your for being a bullheaded idiot? bc I do. you're so silly
Damn the typography has gotten even better, its just a lot more smooth and the animation too especially during Jiro's part is just so stylish
The animation has improved a lot I'm glad it got a little more love compared to last season
My guess is that maybe someone from the six divisions will fall under the anger thingy that's going around, something like the stage show. My biggest guess is that they might re-incite the Samatoki and Ichiro conflict again but I hope not. Another guess is that there will be old MCD or Naughty Busters beef which seems more plausible given that this is Sasara and Kuko's anime debut but I guess we'll wait and see
THE OUTFITS!!! THE STUPID OUTFITS I LOVE THEM
the art style of the ED is super pop punk and has a strong sense of style which i love. its simple but stands out really well which i love
Very jjk but more toned down. Feels a bit like a cleaned up croquis drawings
the smear frames is just so stylish and good, very simple and a bit messy and sells the gesture drawing kind of feel of the ED
Ramuda's parrot costume i love you
Those hand signs just make the first letter of each word which is really fun. Not proper JSL though I guess beggars can't be choosers esp for a series like this
Overall, a really strong start. It shows how it built off the first season and where it improved and while some things (like the horrid pacing) never change, at the end of the day its still a fun and delightful watch
If anyone wanted to read my thoughts on the first season, they're all archived here
