Anyway, this week we join processr, from Anipulse for a spirited debate over Nisemonogatari and our differing tastes in anime. processr has been very outspoken against this season’s fanservice-filled Nisemonogatari, while Aeroblip and I are conversely fans of “Toothbrushmonogatari”. We also go over Aeroblip’s plan to attend Boston Anime Con, and processr and I each talk about our own convention experiences. Finally, we discuss some shows we each personally didn’t like that the rest of the universe hails as “masterpieces”. It’s a content-filled episode full of thrills, chills, and spills!

I know processr hates Macross Frontier. It probably has to do with Plymouth’s plummet down the leagues since it aired to be fair. Pretty good podcast this week, it’s a shame no one else has commented yet:(

Also I love how kevo and Aeroblip are both like “oh I can understand why people would like x series”, and I say nothing of the sort re: Frontier.

Re Mushishi: I guess the appeal is the awe in the face of the beauty yet unflinching power of nature. A lot of it is simply being amazed at the effect the mushi have on people and the world.
I can’t say it gets better or anything. You do learn more about Ginko as the series progresses, so there’s a chance the series will grow on you over time, but the quality of the episodes stay the same. If anything, the repetitive nature of the storytelling may end up just getting you down

Penguindrum and Idolm@ster were favorite series one and two for me last year (respectively) haha. Good show, guys.

I feel like people wrote off the conversations in Nisemono as random and pointless when they weren’t. Putting aside that we learn about people through conversations IRL a lot of what they would talk about was relevant to later events. Even just one episode apart when people were scratching there heads at episode 7 despite most of episode 6 having explained what they would do and why. Hell even in episode 1 the conversation with Mayoi and Tsukihi become relevant all the way in the finale as to what Araragi was doing and why.

I really like the main characters in Persona 4. But think some episodes were weaker than the earlier character/monster-of-the-day episodes because there’s a long lull in action. The material, as they adapted it, is too long for a half season but too short for a full season.
