I am. Good show.

I like the adaptation, It's hitting all the points it should, and the stuff it's missing isn't critical.

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Tell me I'm wrong then:Originally Posted by Ryllharu
The cover art looks like generic "girls doing stuff", the synopsis also makes it sound like that. I don't care about girls founding a rock band and doing music. Shoud I still watch this?

Yes. Because yes it does look like that, and yes, it is a satire of ojou-san series, and yes, it is girls starting a rock band, but not a typical light music one that are a dime a dozen since K-ON.
But yeah, it is very different.
Gorilla Girl 05
this is reaching a new level of stupid bullshit.
I know Japan has a weird issue with girls having a spine, but this borders on suicidal. I'm worried for her. I should probably be more worried for everybody else there, zero sense of urgency for the "terrorist set bombs at a ball dance that all the noble kids attend". but also the bullying part... zero self-awareness.
+1 for my prediction that prince is actually squirl, even though it makes no sense that people can do full-body transformations. and i'd also like to add a prediction that the other character is actually a girl, maybe she got a chameleon blessing.
Gorilla Girl 06
everybody in that army needs to be fired. this are NOBLE kids. you can't treat them like army fodder.
as usual, the important stuff happens out of sight, like learning about the anti-monarchy group and that they escaped. I don't expect it to be interesting, since it's all so paint-by-the-numbers, but it should happen on-screen.
starting a fire in a closed shed without checking the ventilation is how you get yourself killed.
the romance lasted more than I thought it would.

Vigilantes episode 6:
An entire episode basically spent on humanizing a rape-murder, culminating in having his past rape-target treating his wounds. Wow.

Japan: "Redemption!"
Not that I've seen that show... because I probably won't... but I want to discuss this anyway and give my 2 cents, even though it might be better listed in the "trope"-thread. I can already imagine what happened.
The problem with this is always how quick it happens, not the fact that it might or does happen.
If you want to show redemption, make it so that it becomes "real" and that the viewer might start to believe he/she deserves it.
These kind of things need to happen to what you'd consider "main characters", because otherwise there is simply not enough screentime for them to overcome their stigmata and it becomes "cheap" to witness it.
Whole (great) movies have been written and screened in which bad people or people in horrible situations process what they have done or what they are doing and start to regret it.
These topics are simply not meant for a weekly series that dedicate like 5 minutes of screentime to it. It'll just leave a bitter taste and feels "preachy" and wrong.
Example of a story that did such redemption great: The Walking Dead. Not going into detail for spoiler reason, but if you know, you know.

I mean, you say that, but Vegeta is a great redemption arc.
It takes forever, and he backslides multiple times. It makes it feel very earned.
I think Krayz meant weekly anime that don't have a fuckton of episodes.
Peace.
Eh, actually Vegeta is total bs. Goku telling Kuririn to let Vegeta live was based on nothing. AFTERWARDS, turns out Freezer and his guys would have won without Vegeta's "help", but Goku didn't know that and Vegeta might have just returned stronger. And later Vegeta casually murdered hundreds of people to provoke Goku into a fight. It wasn't until Super where Vegeta was castrated enough to no longer be a ticking bomb for everyone in his vicinity. And really, can he be forgiven all the genocides he committed when he destroyed entire planets with civilizations on them together with Nappa and Radditz? "He did it in Freezer's command", yeah, but he clearly enjoyed it a lot.
"Ad Hitlerium" is often ill applied, but in this case it's true: Vegeta is worse than Hitler. Would you forgive Hitler?

You have to at least pretend that anyone can be redeemed. Even if you don't believe it.
Because if the bad guy doesn't believe redemption is possible, then there's no incentive to face turn. And that doesn't benefit anyone.
Whether they should have allowed it is a separate issue from whether or not he accomplished it.
Gorilla Girl 07
this is some bullshit. I don't mind that they have a Christmas inspired party, but don't call it such. and don't hold it during the day with all the characters dressed in the normal clothes.
Based on the gift, do I need to change my guess to Eddie being a cat spirit? it seems like the most boring choice.
the love interest wins as a character because he seems so... normal. like someone mixed the character archetype for him when it's just the two of them, the show makes it work, it's suddenly not afraid of having long scene.
I really think there's something wrong with the show for not having faces for background characters. it's dehumanizing.,

Lore dump!
"The Crawler" is the worst name ever.
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
It's supposed to be a reference to Spider-Man is referred to as the Wallcrawler.
Why not Spidemaniac?
Peace.
But that's the problem and it could go right into the "tropes I hate"-thread: Japanese mangaka choosing English or German names, because they find them "cool", without having a basic understanding of the language. Case in point: If you want to use "Crawler", okay. THen leave it at "Crawler". Always calling him "The crawler" just sounds like shit and is cringe to the max. Imagine saying "Hey, it's the superman" or "hey, it's the batman!" every fucking time. Ugh. And while no examples come to mind, circumstances like that happen in anime all the time. I'm okay with the usage of foreign words, but pls make sure they fit in well.
