    This week's SpyXFamily was the worst episode so far.

    Yuri is the worst.

    At first I appreciated that
    They added some darkness and threat to the world in the form of the secret police and Yuri working for them, but everything about his obsession with Yor is absolutely the worst.

    Having read the comic, if they keep Yuri’s whole Thing confined strictly to subtext, it’ll be a massive improvement

    If not, well

    I wish anime were better

    I watched a chinese anime called Link Click about a person who can see into photos and another person who can physically dive into photos backwards in time. Time travel show.
    It's really good.
    I am officially warning everyone off this show until the second season comes out because the end of season cliffhanger is real rough and I don't know how I'm going to survive until Nov 20.

    I've been wondering since last week how they'd handle Eve, who is blonde and from Europe, moving to Japan. But I was overthinking it, because this is Birdie Wing, so the first Japanese person she runs into she just understands perfectly. And then says, "Huh, I guess I can speak Japanese, weird."

    This fucking show.

    While I also love Keijo!!!!!! they're almost complete opposites. Keijo!!!!!! takes a ridiculous sport completely seriously, while Birdie Wing treats a serious sport completely ridiculously.

    Like Keijo!!!!!! will go deep into how and why their drills and training enhances their ass battling moves, or all the pros and cons of a special technique. Birdie Wing has people hitting laser balls that drill through objects, and gives absolutely no explanation for anything. Birdie Wing would call you a nerd if you tried to point out any inconsistencies.

    Keijo!!!!!!!! is a much more considered sports anime, which creates an extremely entertaining dissonance

    You get scenes where officials in the sport's governing body talk about cte risks in the titty fighting competition

    Birdie Wing is deeply head empty, it keeps walking right up to stuff like class and structural capitalism and immediately detours towards Golf

    My favorite part of Birdie Wing 09 is
    it played an electric guitar riff whenever Eve first appears on camera. It really feels like this is a completely new show about a girls' golf school and Eve is a surprise cameo appearance from a much cooler show. It's like Fonzie just showed up.

    Theres literally an entire criminal enterpise based on scamming rich dudes in golf. Golf is used to destory an entire town and dehome countless people

    Id say its aware

    This is exactly how I'd describe stuff like yu-gi-oh arcs but substitute 'golf' with card games

    The mechanism is the object of interest, not the structure

    I like when the sidekick character reveals she's deeply into Gunpla.

    (I've only watched the first episode so that's currently all I know about Birdie Wing.)

    Point of order: she also made the Bandit model that doesn't exist yet and people think might be teasing a release

    I have finished Part 1 of the Jojos.

    This Robert EO Speedwagon guy seems pretty cool.

    *Speedwagon proceeds to only get his ass kicked or provide commentary.*

    Dammit, he's a Yamcha.

    I'm getting tired of it myself. Half the episodes are indeed probably written by some crazy lunatic who wanted to make some kind of future laser yakuza show and got stuck with girls golfing instead, but the other half are generic girls are friends and do a club thing. Like one week it'll be underground mafia golfing against a goth cosplayer with seemingly magic powers, and then another week, just an exercising montage. The juxtaposition is kind of amusing in its own way, but nowhere near as much as if it was lunatic nonsense all the time.

    I guess I was being too harsh in my comparison between Speedwagon and Yamcha.

    After all, Yamcha did win fights from time to time.

    In all seriousness though, Speedwagon was introduced in a street fight with his multi-bladed throwing hat (that I don't think is ever used again?) so you can imagine the expectation that in a shonen series he's going to be a fighting party member instead of a supporting one. Also we recently watched an arc of Yu-Gi-Oh in Animenagerie so I was still a bit overloaded on characters that are there to provide commentary during fights.

    Speedwagon is still a total bro, though, even if he's not there to win fights.

    After dinner, I'll start Part 2.

    Speedwagon rose from being a poor, dumb kid from London to being the head of a multinational corporation whose influence and reach would span centuries.

    Yamcha got dunked on by Saibamen.

    I haven't gotten to Part 2 yet, at this point he's a very devoted friend that doesn't win fights but knows a lot of stuff so he can commentate. Also he'd probably lose to a Saibaman too.

    Also I want to be clear that I'm just goofing around and not seriously dunking on Speedwagon. I just thought he was a cool character and wanted to see him fight (and win) more than he actually ended up doing. At least he's being added to that upcoming Jojo fighting game re-release so he'll be able to fight there (trailer for said game being what got me to finally get around to sitting down and watching Jojo from the beginning).
