That much was expected. Her being Dr. Shiki's "imposter" was also expected.
I thought the cart was used as the escape, and that the body was for the shock factor to enable said escape. I guess it was only intended to draw attention away from the elevator?
The whole timeshift thing explains why the escape wasn't recorded, but it doesn't explain why the guard didn't catch the door opening.
The rationale behind the robot is dumb. Its only use is to unlock a door? Come on.
Nishinosono annoys the hell out of me. + Show Spoiler + I am not sure I get how they didn't notice the footage had a whole minute of missing time when they watched it?
+ Show Spoiler [Subete ga F] +The footage appeared intact because of the duplicate file that appeared because the killer turned back the clocks.
Am I understanding it correctly that she murdered her own daughter in order to leave the room btw?? that's cold.
I like this show so far, except for the episode where Saikawa and dr Magata's sister speak English + Show Spoiler + Yes but actually watching the footage having a full minute missing would lead to an obvious jump forward 1 min. Unless everyone there froze in place and didn't move for a full minute the footage should have had an obvious point where it skipped forward.
In regards to monogatari dialogue, apparently us plebs who don't know Japanese miss most of the cleverness if the dialogue anyway. Which is why the God damn LNS aren't fullyou translated because it's so hard to do apparently. + Show Spoiler +The answer is that the jump doesn't happen during the cart bit. It's more likely that Michiru's escape happened earlier. She was already in the basement/elevator when the cart came out.
+ Show Spoiler +Michiru's escape? I think it's def shiki's and her kid is the one on the cart.
The only thing kinda annoying about the series is all the pseudo philosophy intellectual stuff that sounds it came from a high college freshman. Still need to know how all that blabber actually ties in as to the why.

The thing with subete is if you read Zaregoto, you already know the answer because they're the same thing!

It's funny, because when they mentioned the missing limbs, I instantly thought of human ladders~

Finished heroic age. + Show Spoiler +Not bad. Was glad to see that as strong as age was, Yuty put up one hell of a challenge and would've won in her madness mode (pretty much invincibility mode lol) if age didn't get the power and become the key etc... Liked the overall chemistry of the Nodos and how they seem to pair up due to concern for each other.
Would've preferred that they kept the brothers dead rather than rescue them through the Nodos' escape from nothingness or w/e its called. They certainly deserved it. It was also nice to see communication between the two tribes to reach some kind of a resolution. Only thing that I didn't like was the fact that the golden tribe wanted them to fight to build starways and connections? Why not just get them to built it the more peaceful way or heck, build it themselves! lol.
That and I felt that age coming back once Olong was fixed was to make his fans happy and felt a bit off. I mean, everybody already got used to having him gone so why bring him back now? Hedron shield looks really cool though!

Started Hourou Musuko today. Great first episode that encaptured me right away.
+ Show Spoiler +I must say though that I was being quite confused by how similar everyone looks. The constant cross-dressing made that only worse. Is this done on purpose? Definitely feels like it. I expect me to get a hang of it later on.

Seraph of the End would be so much better without the Mika and Yu crap... geez. + Show Spoiler [S2 EP 09] +Now that they are together again (for now?), maybe those boring flashbacks will stop at least.

First season was bearable.
Second season is the same thing : they still haven't gotten over the family/friendship bullshit.

It was almost unbearable for me. I don't know why I didn't drop s1. Maybe because I'm a masochist afterall.

First season had way more of it though. But it gets more and more annoying. I usually skip the flashbacks, lol.
|
oh right Seraph of the end... havn't kept up with that after ep1 or ep2. Should just marathon for Hayamin at some point

Not sure why you guys are surprised. Family has been one of the core themes since the first episode and you shouldn't expect it to change. Compared to the first season, you don't have Yu crying for Mika and vice-versa every episode lol but you'll get those moments as you should imo.
Also, seraph wasn't really bad either unless you hated their idea of vampires. Likeable cast, fights aren't too badly animated and even though not really apparent, there's a small mystery that's reeled its head towards the end of season 1 and getting more spotlight in season 2 now.

Idk I'm just waiting for some dude on dude action. Even though I don't like that kind of stuff it seems like the natural conclusion of Seraph.
Honestly the show just has bad pacing. It just has periods of time where it's not doing anything. There's no character progression or engaging dialogue. Just repetition of conversations and shouting we've seen before. Then the plot goes into overdrive for a episodes and calls it a day. The core of the story isn't actually too bad. It's essentially the whole "humans become the monsters to fight monsters" but with more anime/fantasy spin on it using vampires as a medium. That core is well almost always good as there's a lot one can do with it.

Eh? The cast was horrible aside from Shinoa and the animation was utterly terrible.

Shinobu Mail might be my favorite arc in Monogatari.

Pretty much this, considered starting season 2 but decided against it, season 1 simply didn't really do anything well enough for me to not just watch another show.

OPM OVA is out and subbed. Waiting for a high quality upload though.
Hourou Musuko is soo good so far. All the small and big drama points are done with so much thought and care. I'm really glad I started this (watched 3 episodes so far).

+ Show Spoiler +Nothing really happened though. Huge info dump episode. I heavily dislike those, it's lazy writing.

Great Cavalry episode! + Show Spoiler +Shizuku performed fairly well. The action looked nice, although it ofc was really fast. Also was great to learn more about Shizuku.
Let's see what that bad guy at the end is planning, probably gonna try something on Stella to get and kill Ikki or something. Or possibly he'll just try to make Ikki lose his next battle somehow, but to me it seems like he's rather trying to kill him.
