Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon maid (episodes 10-13): Dragon lesbians! So many dragon lesbians! OmG!
I originally avoided this anime because I thought it a harem anime. I watched it when I heard it was a lesbian harem anime. Then I watched it and discovered it wasn’t a harem anime at all.
It was about a human woman and a female dragon, adopting a dragon daughter and living a domestic life.
I am this show’s base. This show is me. Why isn’t there more shows about people building a family? Is the audience for this that small? I guess I should mention, the show does have quite bit situational comedy.
Some downsides though, apparently the manga was way more rique, and elements of that managed to survive into the adaptation. Like a running gag involving an ridiculously big breasted woman interacting with a small boy who thinks she’s a succubus. Not to mention the puppy love arc between 8-year-olds Kanna and Riko go a little far at points (no comment.)
Other than that, love love LOVE this series. I want a series 2. Give me a season 2 KyoAni!
Food Wars (episode 1): WOW, just WOW.
You know, I used to watch re-runs of Iron Chef when I was younger. However, all the American renditions never felt genuine to me. I eventually realized why. The original Japanese Iron Chef wasn’t just a cooking show or just a competition for that matter. In the cooking stadium, food was the most important thing in the world. People fought over it, titles were on the line. It felt like what they were making meant the world.
I remember, this group of japanese purists were furious as Iron Chef Japan for wanting to bring Japanese cuisine around the world. The leader, this guy who looked like a mob boss, would send his students into the ring. The show would literally call them hit men. I remember in the Natto battle against them, he made a natto dessert dish with Coca cola and then chugged the rest of the can right in front of the mob boss chef. I remember one of the hitmen actually won once. They rematched and according to Kitchen Stadium rules, two losses in a row would mean he’d be forced to resign. It was that important.
Food Wars captured that spirit. I made me remember those days watching Iron Chef. Accept here, it gives detailed instructions on how to make the food, something I need to try someday. The potato dish looked supreme!
The foodgasms were funny, but they are also the reason I can’t show this to my mom. She would have loved to watch this otherwise…
I liked how the protag had a fascination with mixing disgusting foods. It established early on that he was an inventor. He wasn’t limiting himself to what he knew worked, he was pushing those boundaries in a quest to find something new, and that lead to the potato based pork roast. He wouldn’t have figured that out if he wasn’t fearless to experiment.
I wish he hadn’t forced that peanut butter and octopus dish on that poor girl though, I didn’t need that tentacle rape imagery…
My Hero Academia (episode 1): I got a huge One Punch Man vibe from this. Kind of like if OPM’s tone was applied to that Sky High movie
I wound up liking the protagonist more than I thought I would. Dunno what endeared me to him. I’d have to do some soul searching
The bully in that show makes no sense. He was trying his damndest to intimidate the protag out of joining Super Hero School. By his own philosophy, quirkless people are inferior and he won’t make it in school. Wouldn’t he want the protag to join? If he fails, that just validates his world views. But the fact he’s trying so very hard to get the quirkless kid to quit tells me he’s somehow threatened, but I don’t understand why. It’s like he knows the kid had potential, but why would he think that?
Also, why would he want to be a superhero to begin with? He’s using his powers on unarmed civilians, he clearly doesn’t want to play by the rules. Either he has unrealistic expectations of superhero life, or everything that motivates this character makes no goddamned sense. I really hope he’s not a regular.
Protag’s history is sad… maybe that’s why I’m endeared?
It’s strange I like the All Right. I don’t go for hyper masculine characters like that, but something about him… this show is going to give me a lot of soul searching time, isn’t it?
