Had a bit of a busy day but I have finished B: The Beginning now. My non-spoiler thoughts are that I liked it despite having a few major problems with the story. I'd still recommend that people watch it because if nothing else it was a fun anime. I certainly enjoyed it more than Devilman. Anyway, time for spoiler thoughts:

My main issue is that this felt like two completely disconnected stories that someone tried to stitch together, and I don't think they did a good job. The serial killer investigation plotline and the angel prophecy plotline could become entirely separate stories and I don't think you'd even need to change anything major in either one. There were efforts to link them together, sure, but I never felt like either story individually benefited from those links. Lily knew Koku from her regular life, for example, but I'm struggling to think how that mattered aside from the writer desperately adding another connection between these two stories.

On their own, and with another half of an anime to flesh them out, I think either one of these plotlines could've been really good. Trying to fit them together just resulted in everything falling apart for me, though. That's how I feel right now anyway. I'm going to think on it more for awhile.

Today I watched the first season of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, mostly because I've enjoyed other 'chuuni' characters in the past (LL Sunshine Yohane, Gabriel Dropout Satania, etc). I wanted to see if that was universal, and I suppose it is since I thought Rikka was a lot of fun, but I wasn't expecting this to be such a deep examination of the chuuni mindset. I enjoyed the anime, don't get me wrong, but I also had a few issues with the direction that it went.

Maybe this is a cultural thing, but everyone seemed very insistent that Rikka drop her persona immediately. I felt it was unwarranted for something so innocent. It began as an unhealthy coping mechanism, sure, but forcing her to drop everything all at once came off to me as cruel more than anything. It seemed clear that her relationship with Yuta was helping her progress already, they should've just given her time and she probably would've come out of it naturally without thinking she needed to sacrifice her sense of wonder and energetic personality. I liked the ending where she appeared to embrace her persona again, but now I'm curious how the second season will handle her character. I hope they don't retread this plotline. Now that she's coming at it from a healthier direction, I want Rikka to revel in her delusions a bit!

Its not really limited to Japanese culture. Its like playing pretend aka something thats cute when youre a kid, but very unusual to most when youre older. Its something youre supposed to grow out of as you get older and make actual social connections and stuff so a teenager still running around playing pretend magic and stuff is just gonna be viewed as weird by most people

Yeah, people are definitely too hard on Rikka and the serious parts of the series are a bit awkward.

I can understand why it would be viewed as immature and something people encourage her to grow out of, but the sheer urgency of how a few characters approached it made it feel like they just didn't appreciate how Rikka was causing trouble for them. Her sister even manipulated Yuta into destroying Rikka right before a show where she would be metaphorically acknowledging that her persona is entirely theatrical. Little steps like that would've eventually gotten Rikka to the same end without the trauma, I think.

Legitimately one of the best songs to come out of Sunshine Season 2 and its only a bonus song. (Though to be fair, several of those are pretty good in general)

Girls beyond the youth KOYA is ok

Haruchika is ok if you don't want to take it seriously and just want to laugh at how dumb the two main characters are

Phantom World is that Kyoani anime with Kirby voiced by Hayamin that @WhiteLens loves

Galko is wonderful

Sounds like Galko-chan is has a better reputation than the rest (not even sure what the premise is yet but I'll have it surprise me) so I'll just have low expectations for the others and watch them while multi-tasking.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Were there any other goodies from that season you remember watching? I just saw Sakamoto and Gab drop out after having them in my watchlist due to a year or so hiatus so I'm slowly getting back into it. Watching New Game too.

wasteland - starts strong but really quickly squanders all potential as it becomes super generic and that failure stings.

haruchika - okay

ooyasan - it's an anime short and you'll know if you like it or not within 6 minutes, which is to say, two episodes. it's not even that cute and the gag overplays itself but i mean, i saw it weekly when it aired as mostly filler.

phantom world - pretty fun show with great girls.

galko-chan - good and absolutely worth watching.

I've seen it. Honestly, (probably because of hype backlash but) I didn't really like it as much as everyone else did. Pretty much all the characters besides the lich girl and megumin's friend were so painfully obnoxious I actually wanted the villains who are all cooler than them to kill them.

There's still the chance they might end up in some anime video's intro/outro. There's no greater pain than not knowing what anime is in someone's intro/outro because the video maker didn't put what they are in the description.
