Current Events > Anime/Other Stuff General V190: ''The witch hats stay on during sex.''

(+) Yeah! (+)

E...eh?! Well... I didn't expect this from Vanguard.

It's all a speculation still, but there are some pretty solid logic here... The sub title "Overdress" might actually be more significant than it seems on the surface

If this is true, then... huh, I guess they did take a risk after all

So in addition to all of the currently airing anime I'm following and continuing Go Princess Precure after I paused at the halfway point, I also started another series. While I was looking through the list of roles for my favorite voice actress, Yukari Tamura, I discovered an old show from way back in 2000 called Miami Guns. It appears to be one of the earliest roles in her career, and it might actually be her very first main role ever.

I'm two episodes in and this show is, for lack of a better way to put it, absolutely fucking insane. This show is basically Japan in 2000 predicting how incompetent and trigger-happy American cops would be like in 2020:

Also the main girl? or whoever introduces the mc to Vanguard is dressed girly in the morning in the park but is dressed like a boy at night. Could make for a very interesting dynamic.

If you need some wholesomeness to use as a palate cleanser, today's episode of D4DJ is a lot of fun.

Finished up Talentless Nana.

RIP Michiru. I have mixed feelings about her death. It was a decently powerful/emotional moment that can help develop Nana further, but the relationship between her and Nana was one of the more interesting parts of the story. Having Michiru being gone takes a bit away from it. At least there's still Kyouya I guess.

I don't expect a season 2 so I'll probably pick up the manga at this point. I guess this is one of the times where a "manga advertisement" (at least that's what I think it probably was) anime will actually get me to pick up the manga.

Watched the first episode of Dr. Stone S2. This is such a cool world with some great characters.

What happened in it?

Healin' Good has been pretty messed up (at least by Precure standards) but the past few weeks especially so.

*SPOILERS obviously*

Necessary backstory from earlier episodes: The three generals of the main villain, King Byogen, were "born" from mutated viruses and "incubated" inside normal human beings who stayed alive but were very sick. Nodoka, the lead Precure in this series, was very sick as a child and it was revealed later that she was the "host" for one of the evil generals, Daruizen. Unrelated, but I'd also like to remind you guys of the absolutely horrible timing that an actual real-life global pandemic hit the same year that Toei decided to do a Precure series themed around healing and evil viruses.

Two episodes ago: Guaiwaru (one of the other generals) accidentally leaves a portal to the Byogen kingdom open, the Precure manage to infiltrate and "purify" the final boss a few episodes earlier than expected. Celebration time, right?

Last episode: Guaiwaru goes full "all according to keikaku" (TL note: keikaku means plan) and says that he wanted the Precures to defeat King Byogen so he could be the new king. He absorbs some of the remaining power from King Byogen and also powers himself up with like 30 mega parts, then absolutely fucking curbstomps the Precures despite them outnumbering him 4-1. Daruizen (one of the other generals) doesn't give a fuck, and Shindoi-ne (the female general who was in love with King Byogen) is pissed off because her king is dead.

This episode: King Guaiwaru is back in the human world wreaking havoc, and the Precure manage to escape the Byogen Kingdom but get curbstomped when they try to fight him again. Just as King Guaiwaru is about to finish them off, he gets absorbed by King Byogen, who wasn't really dead, goes full "fuck your keikaku, mine's better" and manages to fully reincarnate by absorbing Guaiwaru's new powered-up form. He wants to absorb the other two generals to gain even more power, and Shindoi-ne offers herself up, but Daruizen is like "nope fuck that I want to live" and escapes badly wounded. He tries to go to the Precures for help and straight up asks Nodoka "give me your body, let me be inside you" to hide and keep himself safe.

Even beyond the weird story and the really bizarre dynamic between Nodoka and Daruizen, hearing the phrase "give me your body" in a franchise like this whose entire existence is dedicated to selling cheap plastic toys to little Japanese girls... it just feels really fucked up.

That chart isn't accurate, FWIW, Cal. They don't have Daily Life with the Emiya Family on there, which has a 7.82. Looking into it further, there's a LOT of stuff that ranks higher than that. I've seen at least 3 fate shorts series that are higher alone, so far.

Well, at the end of the episode, Nodoka ran away from Daruizen in absolute terror, so it seems obvious that she doesn't want to help him. After the suffering that he and the other Byogens have caused her throughout her entire life, including long before she was ever a Precure, I honestly wanted her to snap and kill Daruizen herself... but this is still a kids show so obviously that would never happen. So I assume that he'll either end up being absorbed by King Byogen anyways, or he'll sacrifice himself to save Nodoka at some point in a really half-assed and undeserved redemption.

Healin' Good has had some really interesting moments (some in bad ways like this one, but others in good ways) and I like the characters, but overall, it's definitely one of the weakest Precure series that I've watched so far. In fact, checking the scores for the franchise on MyAnimeList, Healin' Good has the fourth-lowest rating out of all the individual Precure series. Only Smile, Doki Doki, and Happiness Charge are lower, and Smile and Doki Doki are only that low because of people watching their shitty and bastardized "Glitter Force" dubs instead of the original Japanese versions and rating them accordingly. So in reality, Healin' Good is actually the second-worst in terms of MAL ratings.

Since it says "Short TV anime", maybe it's not counting OVA's or ONA's? The Aggretsuko entry listed is the original TV shorts, not the new Netflix ONA (which is rated higher) so that explanation makes sense.

Watched the second episode of Wonder Egg. That gymnastics coach monster was.... certainly something.

Not feeling too drawn into this, feels kind of disjointed and weird. I'll give it a couple more though.

Same, and that's a hilariously accurate description of her character. She was great this episode, and the idea that Sorawo and Toriko were so busy being madly in love with each other after they were reunited that they left the poor little loli behind to get deflowered was great.
