God yes. The Bad End Precure were one of the best things about Smile. I wish more Precure series besides Yes 5 (in its movie), Smile, and (technically) Heartcatch went the whole "dark counterparts" route, because the fights against them are among the best in their respective series.

You mean the fourth season, AXZ? Yeah, definitely try to get on that. Sadly, Crunchyroll hasn't put it up yet even though they'll be simulcasting XV starting later today. I wouldn't fault you if you went and watched it elsewhere until they added it.

The episode was amazing, Hibiki's new transformation was beautiful, the first fight was awesome, and I am SO FUCKING HYPED FOR NEXT WEEK!! Unfortunately, I can't make any pics/gifs/videos from the episode for a while because I have plans tonight and then a two-day drive home after the end of my vacation. But I definitely will at some point, because seriously, it was in-fucking-credible!

Symphogear transformation scene was maybe a little too much lol, I kept thinking it was over but it just kept going

Not a bad ep overall though I was hoping for a little more than just 18 minutes of action with a little school interlude

Well the problem was when it was airing was the subs sucked so I didn't want to watch shitty emoji subs.

Most likely, that's what they did with Tanya (which was a great film)

Of course they could also be bring it over to their platform like they did for the first Trinity Seven film.

Last episode of smile down. 6/10, too much waterworks. Sorry, but all that excessive crying just gets on my nerves. Especially when its half of the episode. It was a fun series, but I don't see myself watching another complete Precure for a very long time.
https://i.vgy.me/jyTssW.png
By the way, is SOMEONE gonna fix that Earth? Cause that looks... a wee bit fatal.
Reika best girl. That also closes out my current "Long" series, which I started on *checks MAL* holy shit, January first of this year. The only other series I'm watching right now for my short series is the four Tamayura movies. I've got a pretty good idea what my next Long series will be, but we'll see.

Probably a good idea. Besides watching Hugtto and Star Twinkle weekly as they aired (which is a different experience) I've watched...

- all of Heartcatch in 2016
- half of Smile in 2017 and half in 2018
- half of Futari Wa in 2018 and half in 2019
- half of Suite so far in 2019

So I've been spacing them out and watching other stuff in between too.

Are Nanoha or Symphogear among your choices? I remember you starting Nanoha at one point, but I don't remember you getting very far in it.

I wouldn't consider those long series since they are broken up by seasons and I don't usually watch multiple seasons of a show in a row. I'll decide what I'm doing after I finish Tamayura, but for a longer show I'm still thinking.

Just finished out Monthly Girls Nozaki Kun. Def not the kind of show I usually watch, but damn, shit was hysterical.

Nozaki is a Legend, and Paras is a good girl.

Many thanks for the recommendation.

Nozaki-Kun's manga is even more hilarious. Imo probably my favorite comedy manga of all time mostly because it's one of those series where every single page is funny and the comedic timing is masterful

Though I wouldn't mind if they progressed the story once in a while

well I finished utena. except for the movie I guess. anyone familiar with the series know if I should bother watching it or not? my understanding is that it's basically just a retelling of the series

I can see why it was as influential as it is. the shot composition is super cool in terms of angles / cuts / etc. The OST has some super neat and impactful tracks for big moments. the insert song for heading up to the dueling arena gets 3 different versions as the story progresses through each arc, with each one getting more intense / fuller sound.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elrwRshCUpk" data-time="


most importantly though was that there's a lot of relationships that I imagine were pretty unusual at the time (though some don't seem like much now). There are guy x guy, girl x guy, girl x girl. There's an incest relationship and multiple large age gap relationships that are taken pretty seriously. utena herself is a girl who tries to act like a guy so that just makes some of these even weirder to define. The main couple is interracial which is super rare even nowadays for anime to have someone who even resembles another race at all <_<

Despite all this praise though I cannot understand how anyone who watches it for the first time nowadays could ever call it a masterpiece. It's slow paced. It's repetitive. It continually reiterates entire scenes that imo goes beyond just "oh they're saving some money with stock footage". finally, it's just..... really really boring a lot of the time. Its good moments are super good but I'm really not sure the whole thing was worth it as a package.

Still, it was neat catching all the reverse references while watching, things where I saw them and immediately knew "oh, so that's where this started...". some of the scenes / shots are just so iconic that you know right away this must be their original source and that's more than a lot of shows can say.

I watched both, and I didn't like the movie nearly as much. The movie felt much less coherent and much more "what the fuck!?" and it just didn't make sense to me even after knowing the story from the TV version. The visuals were amazing though, so if you just want a spectacle for your eyes (plus a more definitive yuri ending) then it's worth the watch. But otherwise, don't bother.

I agree with you there. Revolutionary Girl Utena is one of those shows that was amazing for its time, but it didn't age very well and other shows have done what it did better. Hell, I heard Revue Starlight referred to as "Utena lite" throughout its entire run, and it did a lot of the things that Utena was famous for even better. I still gave Utena an 8/10 because it was enjoyable despite its flaws and the fact that it didn't age well.

Watch it someday, just not right after. Echoing Cal, its eye candy but not super necessary to understand the narrative. I remember it much more clearly than the show however, tons of cool scenes and animations. Ending is especially sweet.
