(On the other hand, I'm starting to feel that Linca is my type...)
For some reason; I don't believe it was able to make the same points as Ping Pong even as it mirrored it in many respects, and as such created an entirely other message that did not agree with me at all.
I mean I really liked Free! Eternal Summer, it's just that one thing overall really didn't sit well with me and it just happened to be the ending of the main characters arc.
Haruka wants to swim, he's happy in the water in or out of any pools. In fact I always thought his favorite place to swim was the ocean. Presumably, he gets fine enough grades and likes his friends and his life etc
So I always thought when he froze up mid-competition for pressure he never asked for it would end with Haruka in some unknown profession befitting his character, whilst always finding time in his day for a swim.
Turns out I was super wrong, because it turns out that when Rin takes him to Australia the Australian swimming pool is so beautiful or whatever that he wants to completely throw away any semblance of principals that he has (he basically says this at the end) so he can swim in an Olympic pool.
I mean, I guess he might actually just want a job where he gets up, swims, and goes to bed, but I'm pretty sure there are lots of non-competitive environments to do that in.
I mean, it's not like with Makoto where he's truly living up to his nature as a nurturer or Rin who wants to compete, he just accepts that he's dedicated to a life of swimming under the watchful eye of people who care about things he doesn't which he will also now start caring about so he can swim in Olympic pools which he never actually had an affinity for.
They don't even frame it in a way that would've been compelling; like if he'd met lots of people in competitions all throughout the season who would inspire him to want to continue meeting more and more of them and he'd compete without a care for the more sinister (I know this sounds like too much but it fits) eyes of the scouts or whatever.
And finally, I especially don't like that whilst writing this I presented two entire options for endings that would've made more thematic sense.
Also the Australia episode happens way too late.
On one hand, I love both those artists. On the other; last time they did an OP and ED together was Black Bullet <_<
This show is environmentally-minded.
Oops.
Well, I still learned more.
The themes (like I'm serious about the themes, really) were quite consistent with the original series and it was nice to see Mikoto's death continue to be a point from which characters grow and the story expands (though it was a bit funny that the Blue King's bit was a post-credits scene).
Though it wasn't too obnoxious. Linca made the inevitable boob size joke funny. And if you know me, you know how much I hate boob size jokes, so you know she did something interesting. but I won't spoil it.
*looks at character designs*
Sorry, I don't feel like watching this.
Also the character designs are pretty brilliant you pleb.
And Berserk a terrible example because it's a seinen obsessively accurate universe thing (ie way out of demo).
Also in Rokka no Yuusha's case, if the girls are magic users they don't need "practical" outfits.
And the girls from Lodoss War, especially Deedlit, whose skirt doesn't even begin to count as one.
Next season I'll be watching:
Continuing:
Aikatsu! 4th Season (Enter Risa and Nono!).
Future Card Buddyfight Hundred (Even more Drum nonsense!).
Starting:
Noragami ARAGOTO (I love Noragami, even though I felt the anime adaptation was perfect as is. Especially with the confirmation that this season will be darker and more serialized).
K : Return of Kings (Welcome back Shiro~).
Heavy Object (I've really struggled choosing just one show to watch next cour, but the premise is intriguing and I like the character designs).
Fence:
Brave Beats (Dancing robot super hero anime, it is now a thing).
> basic generic anime's
What the heck do people mean by this anyway?
Because I don't think I've ever seen something I'd characterize as "generic".
There are some shows that I have seen and don't like, sure, but
"generic" is not a term I'd use to describe them. They all have pretty distinct mental signatures.
When I think along those lines I think:
There are other girls and plots, but those tend to vary.
Also like a third tend to have "Protag-kun is the only boy who can do some super magical thing girls do, but 20000000000000000x better, and he'll soon meet another boy who is almost at his level who will be Rival-kun".
I mean, it's not a second season but it's good enough.
