    Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu – 04: Good episode and I’m amazed. How can the level on the absurdity over twintails be this high? It’s baffling. I couldn’t stop facepalming from seeing the bad guy suddenly growing his own twintails to show his devotion. These people all have some screws loose.

    • Di Gi Kazune says:

      This show is so ridorkulously absurd that it is a guilty pleasure I am advertising. For nearly the whole show, they are standing there trading barbs on the superiority of twintails and exchanging compliments.

      I feel sorry for Cure Blue, I mean Tail Blue. She is the only sane person in the series. 😀

        True. She’s found herself trapped in a loony bin.

      I loved Souji’s bit about twin tailed warriors actually being 3 people, and Aika’s flat “is there anyone here who isn’t fucking bonkers?” reaction.

    Grisaia no Kajitsu – 05: A sad story for Michiru. Losing so much at still a vulnerable age, especially the only friend that shares any relations, depression was the likeliest result. Fortunately, she found the strength to move on. I will say, damn, Yuuji’s… um… methods of helping are extreme. Personally, she looks better with black hair than blonde.

    • Highway says:

      I kind of wonder if Michiru would let her hair go back to black, since she wouldn’t have to keep playing the part of the cliche tsundere.

      • BlackBriar says:

        For some reason, I don’t think she’d consider that. She might want to stick to her “acting” despite having a burden lifted from her shoulders.

  3. Highway says:

    Grisaia: It really did feel empty and dull. It was like “let’s make this straight out of the VN”. And the idea that “We became great friends… but she still went and killed herself” kinda made no sense. Maybe there was a lot more behind it, like the meaning for all those marks on green eyes. Was she getting beat up? Cutting? If she was getting beat up, was it by her parents… who Yuuji took her to see? Did she visit some revenge on them? It’s like you made a movie out of a road trip, and left in all the driving parts and sleeping in hotels, and left out all the attractions you saw.

      That’s such a good way of putting it and reminds me of a thought I had about Grisaia the other day, which is, It has a fascinating setup and extremely shitty characters, yet it focuses solely on the characters while barely exploring the setup at all. After that excellent ending to the 1st episode… I want my money back.

      • HannoX says:

        After watching this last episode I’ve decided to give up on it. It could have been good, but the execution has been lousy. And it looks like it’s going the way of one or two episodes focusing on each girl, without going into any real depth, with Yuuji solving her problem. It’s just going through the motions.

  4. skylion says:

    Grisaia: I am making an honest attempt to follow the show. But right now, it feels like I’m watching it just because other’s are. That’s not a hight recommendation.

  5. skylion says:

    Twintails: I’m going to go against the grain on this one. I felt the show’s sense of overindulgence got in the way. The only thing it really lacked in that sense was the character’s painting the fourth wall. Now I know that means I’m taking it to seriously…but comedy can be like that…

  6. zztop says:

    Twintails: LN readers say vol 1 has already been covered by the 1st 4 episodes.

    The show’s content definitely backs an observation I have:
    that this LN was clearly written by a smart otaku,
    who knows their LN/otaku tropes,
    and is turning them on their heads for an unconventional otaku story.

    • BlackBriar says:

      As expected of the LN Informant. You do your job well.

    • Highway says:

      4 episodes per LN isn’t a bad pace. I don’t know how big the LN’s are, but that’s not terrible (unlike Haganai’s 9 LN’s in 2 cours). I still like DxD’s 2 LNs per cour, but 3 isn’t too fast.

  7. Highway says:

    Twintails: It’s really amazing that a show that is so tied to a(n especially silly) Macguffin is able to keep it so earnest and authentic. Souji just has that perfect level of interest, and he’s got a fetish but it’s not 1) super creepy or 2) allowed to take over his life (with the exception of not being able to attack a doll of him). Mainly it doesn’t turn him into a quivering pile of goo. I also think that Aika’s a great brake on the whole show, keeping it from going too out of control, and trying to pursue Yuuji but without it getting depressingly desperate.

    Vanadis:Regarding that gate, it was made specifically to withstand Ley Admos. Ellen mentioned that Leitmeritz and Olmutz, Ellen and Mila’s territories, have been on bad terms before. The previous holders of their weapons have clashed many times, plus the fact that Ludmila’s family is a long line of Vanadis, so they should know how powerful Ley Admos is and how sturdy a gate should be to withstand it. The LN’s description is that the gate was made of three iron sheets sandwiched between thick oak planks.
    What this means though is that Tigre’s bow is even more powerful than Ellen’s sword to be able to breach that gate.

  9. belatkuro says:

    Grisaia: Yeah, this was pretty much oversimplified, suffered a lot more cuts and left out quite a lot of details. I’ll fill you in on some of them.

    1. Michiru’s friend was actually dating an older guy and she loved him a lot that she would do anything. The guy though ordered her to be raped by other guys for fun. She wanted to kill herself the first time but Michiru managed to stop her. She still tried to love the guy but as you can see, she’s all beat up. Cue suicide and the rest of the story.

    2. The heart donor is actually a different person and not the friend that jumped. I actually thought at first that it was the same person but I was wrong.
    We got a small flashback of the person who became the ‘other’ Michiru. She was caught in a traffic accident and was just left in a vegetative state for a long time. Her parents suffered a lot to keep her alive but she wouldn’t move again. She was aware of her surroundings but she can’t move or talk. The father tried to pull the plug on the machine keeping her alive but didn’t. Soon after the mother suffered from illness from watching over her all day that she forgot her own health. The father then decided to donate her heart when Michiru was in a critical condition.

    Seems like it’s going to be 2 episodes per route as I predicted. Next up is Yumiko route from the title of the next episode which is the very start of her route. This also confirms that we’ll get a reset of stuff ala Yosuga no Sora. No way we would do this in a continuity.

    Vanadis: The way Lim looked so pleased with the bear outfit was adorable. I really like those little touches added to her character.

    Grisaia: I didn’t think it as that bad…but then I read the comments and saw what was left out and now I’m horrified. Why would they hack out all the good parts? D: I still feel like I’m waiting for this anime to show me messed up girls who are so weird they end up in this special school, but so far it’s been pretty average. I can’t seem to stop watching though…

    • lvlln says:

      Yeah, the bear suit scene was great, from her unceremoniously dumping it onto him, to her little “Nice” upon seeing how it looks on him. I get the sense that she really likes bears.

  11. BlackBriar says:

    Madan no Ou to Vanadis – 05: More politics and battle tactics. Not necessarily bad things to watch. They do put in some perspectives. The highlight was Ludmila’s carefree talk with Urs (Tigre) giving a huge contrast in attitude to what we’ve seen before. It’s refreshing to see her not acting so high and mighty for the sake of status and appearance. Even she’s relieved by it. Plus I feel for her that she has to involve herself with people she doesn’t like.
