    In Birdie Wing 11, someone excitedly declares that their new clubs are custom made, just like Char's mobile suits. To Amuro. Who just glares at her.

    There is absolutely no way this show ends in two episodes. They have to announce another season when 13 drops, or something.

    I will be just as happy if this dumb show only gets one season and we just have to imagine what could have been

    It feels appropriate

    Tonight on Animenagerie:
    • We finished Jojo Part 3. Cool stuff.
    • We finished the Krillin vs. Jackie Chun and Goku vs. Nam in Dragon Ball. Both fights ignored the rules or else the finals would have been Krillin vs. Nam.
    • We watched half an episode of Popteam Epic. Hellshake Yano!
    • We tried to watch the Transformers episode of Panty & Stocking, but the plug was pulled as soon as they started their transformation sequence. They didn't even get to the part where they take off their panties.
    • So we filled the time by watching the first episode of Birdie Wing even though it's sub-only. Golf Crimes.

    The last two weeks of AniMenagerie have been very informative in showing @ "IronKnuckle's Ghost" & I what anime we absolutely hate.

    Just fucking despise.
    I'm 95% sure Panty and Stocking was an anime company attempting to explicitly make a show to be picked up by Adult Swim (and then, amusingly, it didn't).

    I never watched it.
    I think the Gainax people behind PS&G just wanted to stretch their artistic limbs. Apparently there was a schism afterwards and those people left to form studio Trigger?
    The creator of Panty & Stocking and the co-founder of Studio Trigger, Hiroyuki Imaishi, has stated multiple times that one of the things he wants to do the most is be able to make a continuation of the show. He even made an unofficial continuation doujinshi (called "Cemetery Hills") that had Nova's uncertain fate at the end of Space Patrol Luluco be resolved with him appearing in the world of PSG.
    That would make my partner so happy, they positively adore that show and will try to show it to anyone that's not yet seen it.

    I am done with the Arabasta Arc and am now on episode 131.

    The ending of the whole arc was quite well done even if I think it got drawn out a little much in the middle.

    That'll be a trend for every arc for the remainder of the series

    As long as it continues to tighten up the pacing and dialog every episode I'm okay with it. I think they repeated the plot about five times per episode during the whole Arabasta saga but it's also noticeably better about that than at the start. I also cannot wait til I get to the big animation change.

    Beginning July 11th, and skipping a showing on Halloween, we'll end season five right before December.

    Which will probably set up December to be the month we just show holiday-anime films till January arrives with the truly impossible season six.

    AniMenagerie (the primary dub-night, not the sub-night or the manga book-club) continues to exist almost exclusively as an avenue to get exposed to new anime.

    Maybe that "new" anime came out in the late 1980s?

    Either way, its a platform for broadening tastes (and sometimes teaching you that you just DO NOT LIKE a particular show or genre whole-sale)

    Speaking of old anime, looks like Crunchyroll got all of Irresponsible Captain Tylor. Wonder if that still holds up these days I loved it last time I watched it.

    Next season has the continuation of The Devil is a Part Timer and Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer, those are right at the top of my list. KJ File and Lycoris Recoil might be interesting.

    Oh shit I forgot this was getting an anime. Might need to watch it, the manga was pretty excellent.

    Cromartie actually was part of Animenagerie for a few weeks until we found out Bakarina Season 2 had already been dubbed so it got booted out so we could watch that instead.

    Oh that's cause they also added the OVAs, which were mostly bad from what I recall.

    I've been liking The Executioner and Her Way of Life and even knowing this was always going to be the case, a bit bummed it's just going to stop midstream of a larger story. Not sure if it's 12 or 13 episodes, but 11 have alreayd aired.

    Tylor is still pretty great

    He spends like a season and a half assembling a harem... and then unintentionally dumps them all in a single episode because he's distracted trying to play a vr game while everyone tries to confess to him.

    He's like the anti-kirk.

    Right now the tentative schedule for Season 6 is just Berserk and Birdie Wing. I don't know what theme will allow those two to coexist, but it'll be fun to find out in a few months. Only B shows???

    Also we've got enough people on the server now that if we want to try to set up something for another time zone it might be possible. There's usually people online all night. Also been considering doing a book club style 'watch and report' thing for anime, manga was the test run. I've been doing that style elsewhere and it's still pretty fun.

    Tylor is good because about halfway in they do an episode where Tylor's ship has to be inspected by his superiors, so in an effort to not get fired and lose his easy job, he actually has to......do his job.

    And he's actually hyper competent! He's just lazy!

    The berserk movies are fine but they're not good either. They're too focused on capturing every battle and they miss the quiet relationship drama going on largely unspoken between our characters.

    The series isn't perfect either but it does a better job at those quiet moments.

    I just went through the Lodoss OVA with some friends, I think it still looks visually breathtaking but the plot feels very straightforward nowadays. It's kind of one of the original genre-defining works for LOTR/D&D-style japanese fantasy so that makes sense, looking back on it now makes it feel very by-the-numbers because it helped create the numbers.

    We also watched an episode of the much later TV series, which was definitely not as good because it wasn't a high budget OVA. Also they got the same english dub voice actors back for it but Parn's actor decided to put on Ye Olde Knightly airs in his performance for some reason, instead of his normal voice and speech style he used in the OVA, and it sounds terrible.

    I mean, yes. The best way to imbibe Berserk is the manga, but if you must watch animoos then the movies give you the action for the Golden Era and the show gives you the drama.

    but what if you need the CLANG
