Dangan Ronpa episode 4: The fansubs for this show are AWFUL.
It's not "Xenocider Show" it's "Genocider Syo". and the victims weren't hung, they were crucified. When subbing a show like this they should really pay a bit more attention and look at the source material if they have to.

*Facepalm* Seriously, what were they looking at? The LP spells out every damned thing you mentioned so unless they somehow never looked at it to double check there's no reason to not get it right, particularly when Xenocider isn't even a real word. More importantly, getting the method of murder wrong isn't something that can be overlooked when you consider the details of the case and what happened in between.

Oh, which fansub was that? I usually go for HorribleSubs.

"fansubs by Omgimyellow"
it wasn't very well put together either:

Spoiler

the text there barely shows up for a second and is all over the place and very hard to read. and look, it even says GENOCIDER SYO on the book

also, regarding the case itself and Genocider's identity (not problem with the fansub but with the anime itself)

CASE SPOILERS

They didn't show Fukawa waking up after fainting, and only barely showed her reaction afterwards. meaning Genocider's identity is going to come out of nowhere when they explain it.
They didn't bring any attention to the fact that Oowada was wearing clothes in the sauna, which is an important plot point.
The ElectroID's Kirigiri found, it wasn't even mentioned that one belongs to Leon (though it is kinda implied due to them belonging to the dead students)
Fujisaki barely even showed up in this episode and his motivations to be stronger weren't touched upon at all, or his declaration about revealing his secret. If they'd spent less time showing him whining and crying they could have included those little details which are important for the case.

anime is very, very rushed. should have been more episodes really.

I agree, people that begin by watching the anime before watching the LP or playing the game would just be confused because the details don't add up at all. Now I'm worried as to how the rest of the cases will be presented because each one is more intricate than the last and the omission of details just kills the mood of the story.

Ah well, it's only 13 episodes...

Gen'ei O Kakeru Taiyou 1-4: Interesting series, and a hell of a lot darker than the cutesy artstyle suggests. Has a very definite Madoka Magica vibe too it, including that the main character is a useless whiny tool.

Things really stepped up in the plot and gore departments in episode 4 after a couple of episodes of exposition, and i'm quite enjoying the plot. It's rather depressing in a way that they have to kill people until they figure out how to cure them.

Monster designs are creepy, especially the one in episode 4. brrr. those claws. once you get past the art style and the bland characters, the show itself is quite solid.

[Flonne]

including that the main character is a useless whiny tool.

She's the least annoying of the 4 though; one is clingy and has thrown up so many death flags she could build a ship and sail around the world, one is a peach that hates the daemonia so much that I'd be willing to bet she breaks at some point and becomes one, just based on all the "weak" talk she throws around when she's the weakest of the four emotionally, and one is just there on a whim it seems, just because she has nothing better/else to be doing. 90% sure the brown girl teacher is company to something untoward, and 100% the bird and the cat are. Akari isn't useless like Madoka was, she just got potentially memory-wiped and learned that the daemonia still have human souls after having killed her cousin (and having driven her to become a daemonia in the first place), so it's obvious she would want to try to help them first. Based on the tone of the series though, I don't know how they will handle that.

Spoiler

personally, I side with the girl that got infected with the daemonia, when that rich snob called the art she'd been working on so hard "mediocre, so plain that it's not good or bad", I would have been mad if she DIDN'T get what was coming to her. Pretty neat how the organization works so efficiently; targeting a seemingly random girl just to get to the daughter of the president of a company that is a major competitor to the person they contracted to. Equally dark that the guy was totally fine paying in human souls, though I suppose that's something that some major businessmen in the real world wouldn't mind doing if it got them what they wanted.

Watashi Ga Motenai No Wa Dou Kangaete Mo Omaera Ga Warui! Episode 4
I don't think I've laughed so hard at a tv show in a long time.
The amount of cringe in this episode was over 9000. The naganita.. the panties being used as a handkerchief.. the massager and the BL game...

This episode was completely full of win, enjoyed every minute of it.

[Plasmablaster]

Watamote 4: Suddenly, innuendo! For a main character, the massive amount of unluckiness sure makes a funny/sad scene. It's just great.

[Razmos]

Dangan Ronpa episode 5: The anime actually did a superb job fitting the entire class trial into this one episode.

So many twists in this episode!

Spoiler

Chihiro is a boy! Oowada murdered him! Genocider Syo! It's not about the student's despair, it's about the people watching from the outside! There's a mole in the group! 16th student who!?

I imagine this episode will get people more interested in carrying on with the show

[Flonne]

Rozen Maiden 5
They went into a lot more depth with the Megu/Suigintou relationship in this one. Megu is so morbidly adorable.

[Razmos]

Monogatari: Tsubasa Tiger part 5: God I love Hanekawa. This episode was a very fitting climax to her character's arc that's been building ever since Nekomonogatari Black, and I felt a bit emotional at the end of it.

RAGE

WHHHYYYYYYY DOES ARARAGI LOVE HITAGI AND NOT HANEKAWA. HITAGI IS SO BLAND.

Eurghhhh whatever. awesome end to an entertaining arc.

Looking forward to Mayoi Jiang-shi.

Gen'ei O Kakeru Taiyou episode 5: Much better episode this time. The villiain gender-bending was genuinely surprising, was he the little girl too? that peach was creepy as pineapple. On a whole the villain is a very creepy dude.

Plot still isn't really going anywhere though and the fight scenes, though well animated and nice to look at, are extremely short. Hope it gets a little better, but this episode was a slight gleam of hope.

[Salguod]

Monogatari 5: Personally, I've never liked Hanekawa.

Araragi looks just like Laharl now. Powered up as a vampire?

Dangan Ronpa 5: I kinda want to solve the mystery for myself with the game, but that would take so long. From what I've watched of the Lets play, the game and the show are identical.

Spoiler

Ugh, I think I just glanced at a spoiler while looking up the character names.. I hope I misread.

Watamote 5: 1st half was great with the use of the colourless thing, which reminded me greatly of another character in a distant universe who also has absolutely no presence. Anyway, 2nd was more of the usual media-inspired ways to (try) being popular, and where it ended up going to was, of course, hilarity. The angry angry brother and face grab was pretty good too.

[Razmos]

Highschool DxD New episode 6: This show is awesome. really looking forward to the next episode. It's great being able to see the other characters shine and not just Issei, he's taking more of a support role and I like it, because the show has some really interesting characters.

Symphogear G episode 5: O.M.G. was shaping up to be a rather average episode when suddenly holy pineapple violence and gore.

Spoiler

The look on Akane's face when she realized it had caught her arm... and then that godawful crunch and it RIPPING off her arm. watching it eat her arm totally broke her down. an awful scene to watch.

Totally caught me off guard. what a twist.
The ED theme is also brilliant, and I love the transition at the end of episodes. Really helps with the "what the pineapple did I just see" factor.

Love Lab 6
MAKI IS SO ADORABLE OH GOD

Spoiler

[Plasmablaster]

Watamote 6: Perspectives sure speak volumes, and of course ants and horoscropes make everything better too (not). Everything got a bit sad, then went way up in hilarity in the end again, and outro sounded like Vocaloid. Great episode, and now to see what happens as next episode(s) head into summer vacation.

Welp. I'm done with my summer national park adventure. Got lots of the good stuff from spring to catch up on, and I wanted to know what's good for summer season. (Other than Monogatari)
