So it’s the middle of the night and I’ve committed to doing these on Mondays I guess. Whatever! Anime time.

Twitter

• The Rolling Girls livewatch for #AniTwitWatches – An advantage of linking to the Twitter moments is that I can literally just copy and paste the links lmao. Anyhow: the arc of The Rolling Girls we watched this week, the Kyoto arc, is among my favorites. Mostly just tweeted this one out as normal but do take a peek at my last couple tweets which are about the song sung in the latter episode of the arc.
• Revolutionary Girl Utena livewatch – I would like to say that things are heating up in Utena but I’ve been assured that things actually start *really* getting weird in the next arc, so I guess I’ll look forward to that. I maintain that Nanami’s purple epulet / yellow jacket combo is absolutely killer.

The Geek Girl Authority

• DECA-DENCE Recap (S01E04): Transmission – BOY THERE’S A LOT GOIN’ ON IN THIS SHOW, HUH? I have the exact opposite issue with Deca-Dence that I have with God of High School. There’s so much going on in each episode it’s a bit hard to know what specifically to write about. That said: I love where this show’s head is at and I’m super excited to see how it develops from here.
• THE GOD OF HIGH SCHOOL Recap (S01E05): ronde/hound – After several episodes that I don’t think would really move the needle for most people The God of High School‘s fifth is the first one in a while where I think it’s actually done something to improve. Granted; it’s still not being wildly innovative here, “talk with your fists” is fairly standard shonen stuff, but it’s done well here. Consider picking this up if you like that kinda thing and have been on the fence about this one?

Other Thoughts N Such

• I started watching Oregairu (or as it’s formally known in English, ahem, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU. Yikes) just out of idle curiosity and at the inspiration of seeing someone I’m mutuals with livetweeting it. It’s a neat little series, I’m only a few episodes in so I can’t make any sweeping judgments yet, but I like how it manages to juggle the rather difficult tasks of making Hachiman seem like someone representative of the lame cringelord in all of us without making it seem like it’s endorsing his mentality, which are two different things. Obviously not everyone is going to feel that way about it, but still, I’m pleasantly surprised with this’n so far.

And that’s all for this week. See you guys around!
