Swimsuits and muscles, oh my!

Watamote ep.3

Might give it another episode yet, but I think I'll just drop this one. I respect them for doing something a bit different and I liked the opening shot of faces revealed by locker doors this ep, but it's just too discomforting a watch for me.

When I first started reading the manga I felt like this too, it just hit a bit too close to home at times for me. But it's a good series and I think once you get over that initial discomfort it becomes a lot easier to laugh at.

It hitting so close to home is what makes me watch it. It's like second hand embarrassment that isn't really second hand. Like, 1.5-hand.
 
The best part of that last post was the moment I thought Josh was complaining that Free ep4 was what was hitting close to home.

I'm certainly enjoying Watamote but not getting the discomfort that's being reported at all :S

Sadly Josh is inundated with a daily dose of muscular men in swimsuits. It's a constant torment :(

But you can aid his cause by donating your old clothes so that he may cover them up.

As I say, I'll give it another episode, but my gut feeling is that it's just not for me. Especially as I hear that the manga sticks to much the same pattern throughout. I didn't mind this sort of humour in Welcome to the NHK as it felt like the characters were on some sort of journey, but just as a sitcom in which things stay the same, I don't think I could live with it for any length of time.

At least I'd be popular, but the only pool I have is a paddling pool.
 
Been getting back into anime :)

Rozen Maiden (2013) episodes 1-3
Blood Lad episodes 1-3
Futari wa Milky Holmes episodes 1-2
Senki Zesshou Symphogear G episodes 1-3
One Piece episodes 1-16

Madoka Magica episodes 1-12(rewatch)
Strike Witches episodes 1-12(rewatch)
 
A Certain Scientific Railgun S 16

Well, that's the Sisters Arc over now. Shame they couldn't have just compiled it into a single cour series.
 
A Certain Scientific Railgun S - Episode 16
A Certain Magical Index II - Episodes 18 - 24

The Academy City Invasion arc of Index was actually pretty damn good.
Unlike the first series of Index, I've found the latter half of this series to be more enjoyable than the first half. Maybe it's because there was more delicious Accelerator.
Personally I can't wait for the movie next month, and I'll probably import it whether it has english subs or not since someone is subbing it.

Overall, it was as enjoyable series. Wouldn't say it was great or bad, but it was enjoyable.

Attack On Titan 16
Jean found his balls. Also, did no one teach these kids about peer pressure?
