    If any Takahashi character is a proto-tsundere, it's Akane from Ranma.

    Although it doesn't quite count cuz like, most of the time she really is just pissed at him.

    Lum otoh just goes atomic with jealousy.

    The first time I heard the term tsundere (though she obviously wasn't the first) was the blue-haired girl from Full Metal Panic, so she's been my go-to example of tsundere.

    Kaname, huh? Yeah I guess she is a little, though it feels more like she is the straight man in a japanese standup comedy duo most of the time... maybe my recollection is colored by the comedy season of FMP being the main thing I liked about it though

    Probably! Rise and Try are pretty weak (let's be honest, Rise just sucks. Try mostly squanders it's potential + has some gross creepiness), but I think re: rise is genuinely good.
    But hey! If it didn't work for you, it didn't work for you. Everyone's different

    The tsundere thing falls away after the first season of FMP, mostly. With Invisible Victory it's totally gone.

    Man, recent episodes of Summer Time Render have been so fucking good.

    This week
    The sudden death last week was the shadows copying the sniper and attacking from outside of range. So they lure them to the school and just have an all-out fucking brawl, with ALL the budget.

    It's the back and forth between the two sides that I especially love. Both are highly competent and doing completely reasonable logical things (as opposed to usual anime, or even dumbass teenager horror logic), but it's a constant actual back and forth between Team Scooby and the monsters for who actually succeeds and who gets their faces splattered across the pavement. And nobody hesitates or gets weepy at all about taking a flamethrower to the evil clone of their crushes or family members either.

    Kaname is a tsundere in the sense of the romantic relationship in season 1. Fumoffu backgrounds that, so she becomes the straight man. Seasons 3 and 4 shift dramatically back to the romantic plotline, which admirably does not try to stretch for time and just gets them into a couple status, moving the drama to the action adventure part instead of the will they/ won't they baloney.

    Fumoffu is weird because that stuff just all happens during the course of the season 1 events, during the manga

    They just kind of took all the weirdest stuff out of the story and put it in its own series

    Fumoffu is very good as a standalone comedy season. I do happen to like the serious but not exactly grimdark mecha action plotline though.

    Oh, Lelouch deserves every single bit of shit he gets in that series. Every. Single. Bit.

    It's part of what makes Code Geasses wild ride so much fun: exactly how is lelouch going to pay this time!?

    It's also very funny for the insane way the Mecha start fairly grounded (they even have sensible eject mechanisms!)... And by the end of S2 it's almost become a super robot show

    It's more that when she initially deals with Sosuke, he's just so odd (because he's a child soldier with an assload of PTSD and no idea how to be a teenager) and so she reacts in the "why can't you be normal" way you'd expect. Once she learns the truth about him and all the shit he's suffered through, she very much mellows out (the haircut scene in The Second Raid is a good demonstration of this, as is the ending conversation between the two in Invisible Victory.)

    I've heard that from S1->2 they got a new more kid-friendly timeslot and were actively told to push more new robot designs (for toys), not sure if it's true but a lot of the way the show changes makes more sense with that in mind.

    Yeah, there was extensive executive meddling in Code Geass from what I've gathered.

    It's still very funny!

    Also hey, this Dandadan manga is pretty good. Annoyingly it's not in the shonen jump app, because of 18+ rules I think, but it's all on viz's site if you've got a subscription.

    It also feels like screenwriters planned to make season 3 of Code Geass, but then were told to wrap it up in season 2, so second half of it seems to be pretty rushed oberall.

    I love the mechs in the first season. They just really work for me, they seem completely believable in how they function even when I know they couldn't possibly. The wildest it gets is the Lancelot's energy shield and the Gurren's "YOU GO BOOM" claw. But otherwise every mech functions in a very similar manner with wheels on the ground, maybe some light parkouring (or in the Gurren's case full on Spiderman wall-climbing), and an eject feature.

    Then the following season it says okay the mechs can fly now. Then the mechs can fly AND fire highly destructive laser beams. And this one needs two pilots with one of them a genius (guess who).

    And that's before any of the Knights of the Round get introduced.

    At least the Gurren stays relevant.

    Trailer for RWBY: Ice Queendom is doing the rounds since a few days ago:

    Yup, is pretty much going Persona 5 on Weiss to explain why she stopped being racist. Ok then anime, you do you.

    Also, the dudes putting racism on quotes on the comments sure are telling on themselves.

    This looks to have some fun mash-ups. I actually dug the SD Gundam RPG that was released here on the PS2 so hopefully this will give some similar fun if in a more action-RPG way.

    Akane-Banashi is great, and is definitely doing a good job of explaining why the performance is going the way it does, but I also feel like it could do with moving things forwards a little bit faster, too (because I want to find out what happens next, admittedly).

    And Witch Watch continues to have a tremendous amount of fun not exactly breaking the fourth wall, but this is definitely the three-and-a-half-th wall, I reckon:
