Yeah till episode 3 even then it was extremely messy, next 2 episodes were just random isekai sol level episodes where they encounter a problem and fix it with some bs invention, in a way i am glad if it's going to stop taking it seriously and continue with cast interacting with new characters and make shit.

Yeah. His reaction/s seem to be a mix of genuine fear and shame. I recall a novel reader mentioning that Stuart was Kengo and Seiroku's bible teacher but I don't really know much else. Kengo's shown remorse/guilt before but the scaredness is new.

For me, I'm at the point where I'm not expecting anything particular from this show except for good animation and cute girls, which it does constantly deliver. I think the overall structure is quite sloppy and the show doesn't exactly know what it wants to be. BUT, I've still had fun with every episode because the moment to moment always keeps me engaged with something that's either funny, entertaining, beautiful, or downright awesome. I fucking loved this episode and kyoani knew I would love this episode. The fun different art style montage, the direct k-on (best anime ever made) refrence, the impromptu acoustic set by cutiepie inago, them accidentally creating metal because the electric was TOO powerful and distorted her voice. It was all so fucking good. I think kyoani is at their best when they're doing this kind of show. Shows that are FUN and creative. I think this show would benefit more from leaning harder into the electric invention of the week type thing and focus in on the teenage freind group. Show more of their dynamic as they work together to bring the catalog to life. I don't necessarily dislike yosuke, but I really don't think this show needs an antagonist like him. And this part at the end where he actually enjoyed the concert proves that. It feels better for him to be some kind of presence that spurs the main 5 into creating more and more rather than being some vaguely evil and kinda deranged guy. He should be their sponsor and fund them so they can actually bring about the electric age. But anyways. Yeah, this was a good episode, best of the show so far. I hope for more good episodes!

My assumption is that the blonde dude had some connection to kihachi's brother, whom he also knew in the war I guess. As for the bike, probably when he started going on it too fast and it was creating too much electricity it started shocking him so it made a feedback loop of him going faster and faster
>>
>>290031887
See what?
>>
>>290028858
Maybe that's the intended way to see the show.
It's a bamboozling chicanery, a chortlemonging jest, a complete buffonade.
The studio burned down and their first original is ... this. Silly bouncy butts and wacky character antics, nonsense plot and confusing visuals.
Hard working mc? Make him a nerd and also all his inventions useless.
Evil ikemen? We'll make him non-threatening both sexually and physically and he'll be mogged in every episode.
Cute main girl? She's a useless doofus (like every other kyoani girl), but she makes up for it in her earnesty.
What's the parody target here? Kyoani itself. You thought they'd be sad but they're laughing.
It's the ultimate life affirming message to anime goers, always look on the bright side of life.

>>290034133
I mean, isn't this structure extremely typical of anime? The first few episodes of setup, then the middle portion of the show is more episodic stories that tie into the general theme of the show and then the final stretch of episodes is a continuous wrapping up of the story and climax. If you've watched a bunch of anime this sort of structure shouldn't be new to you so I don't know why people are complaining.

This episode was so fun, but it's impossible to take any of this shit seriously anymore. I feel dumb for defending the plot mechanics in the early episodes because even the creators don't seem to care about the story they're supposed to tell. It's better this way, at least until the obligatory traumadump episodes after the SoL stuff is over.

Also, they went overboard making the father unlikable every time he's on screen. This guy sucks. Even if he has a change of heart for later, it won't feel satisfying.

That's sadly a thing since tiktok killed everybody's attention span. I see anons hate on every episodic anime and claiming that "nothing happens" since 2018 at least. It only got really bad post covid though.
I actually wish we could get the old format from the early 00s back where anime had two cours and started slower, with a bunch of episodic episodes to explain the world and characters. Many newer originals just jump from plot point to plot point and expect you to care.

Ishihara may not have the same renown as some of the other big Kyoani directors, but he was the one in charge of most of Kyoani's major projects back in the day and he's the guy you want in charge. This anime would definitely be better if he was the director. He knows how to appeal to the male audience too.
>>
>>290037519
He is better paired with a different director else he just churns out shit, ogawa in new eupho movie had him redo his storyboard multiple times. guy loves keyge and began from there so he is pretty good with boke tsukomi type skits.

People liked the episode? I feel like it could have worked if we had a better cast of characters but I just couldn't care for le funz, we got this one guy I have no clue who he is but he's there, then the 2 gay girls, the main girl that wants to rebel against her father(maybe there's something there) and then our main character that babble and make silly faces, I just don't care about them as individuals or as a "group being le randumb".

I don't disagree at all
I think they are quite weak but that's BECAUSE of the structures of the show and setting up the "villian" took so much time. If I were writing this, I would have made it so that yosuke was given half of the lawg but he couldn't make sense of any of it because it was retarded drawings. Then he would give his half to kihachi after kihachi got thr other half from inako's oneesan and he saw the electric moon, thus, becoming something of a sponsor. It would have been much more concise and he could still have his deranged faggotry lurking underneath, but I wouldn't have bothered with the marriage shit that's obviously not going to go through or with him constantly antagonizing them (until THIS episode where he seems he has finally turned over a different leaf). Instead, after that set up, I would focus completely on the group and make them into stronger characters with personalities that sometimes clash but usually mesh well. I would lean into the invention of the week style and use that to build their relationship in a more direct way. Yosuke would end up getting a larger role later on in the story, and I would have him be something of a guardian of electricity. Other companies would try to FUCK with kihachi or surpress him or steal his shit and Yosuke would be a business tycoon slapping their ice cream out of their hands. But that would be a later portion of the story and the first would focus almost exclusively on the friendgroup growing closer as they make these inventions
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that I think all of the building blocks are here to make a solid story and good anime, but they're just kinda stacked all weirdly as they are. With minimal changes to character dynamics this could have been much better than it is

You don't understand Yosuke's character man. Don't you see how he freaks out whenever Kihachi figures out something?
The tension comes precisely from the fact that he should be sponsoring Kihachi and work with him but can't because his jealousy and grief are getting in the way. Because he hasn't made his peace with the fact that he'll never have his denki husbando back.
He doesn't want the era of electricity he wants to make the era of electricity with Seiroku.

Not even a kyoani fan but from what I have seen the original LNs are always a million times worse than the adaption so maybe they did the right choice. Haru no Mai was also a clusterfuck and written by the same author as VEG. VEG had a bunch of big issues but watching Mai I am convinced that would have been way worse if they adapted it faithfully. Wasn't even planning on watching SoT before since the early synopsis sounded like boring romance drama.

Everyone quit watching anime/buying merch outside of incel otakus

If this is fujoshit then they're making a straight pairing canon in the final movie. Better to temper my expectations now.

>>
>>290049041
Incel otaku stopped caring about seasonal anime since v-tuber garbage and gacha became a thing. They rarely care about a plot to begin with, they only need a moe blob waifu that talks cutesy about cute shit and it's much easier to generate that by giving the nextbest jobless slut a digital avatar and make her talk about random shit on youtube every day than investing hundreds of thousands in writing and animating a story that takes three years to finish and might bomb in the end.
>>
>>290049361
Back then they atleast had to go the extra mile to engage with their hobby which sometimes served as a gate to new experiences and skills. If nobody made art of your waifu, you had to learn to draw and make your own. This often resulted in a pipeline to becoming artists and writers.
Modern otaku have everything handed to them on a silver plate so they are just passive consumers, getting their brain fried on a parasocial relationship with a girl who has a boyfriend in secret.

>i can't believe animators wouldn't adapt my work one to one
Don't know what change they did but they sound absolutely retarded. Plotlines can disappear for format reasons, scriptwriting issues, or just because animators had a good idea they wanted to implement. They're creators too and they have a different format with different demands. They can't just throw the entire novel into the script like JKR did with Crimes of Grindelwald. That makes terrible visual media.
If they wanted full control they should have paid for the adaptation.
>>
Kihachi inventing an amp to plug the shamisen into and accidentally creating rock and roll is by far the most entertaining way the story's premise has been used to create a one-off story so far. Now that we've got a handle on that, can we actually do the story stuff now?

If Yosuke isn't fucked in the head there is no story.
In the first place the whole reason the oneesan was hiding the catalog is probably because she knew Yosuke was up to no good with Seiroku's legacy. It could just be because she was in love with Seiroku and didn't want to give the one souvenir of him she had to her love rival but I doubt it's unrelated to that "objective" Yosuke has.

There's no way Seiroku never mentioned his little bro to her.
It's more likely she didn't know the catalog was a two siblings effort so she kept it. Moreover Seiroku dying in a war probably meant no funeral so she never had an opportunity to meet his family.

I think you have shit taste. Himawari no Circus-dan is way more fun and better directed than this show and the comedy is much better executed. Sayonara Lara is easily the best looking show this year. Kuroneko to Majo no Kyoushitsu was fun and was boosted by the panty shots, but it's strayed from the original premise and gotten more generic over time.

Personally tai ari is the best so far, tetsunabe i need to watch but it looks interesting. Himawari no dan is better as characters are more entertaining and while lara story is bit basic overall it is indeed the best well rounded looking show. This show needs to maintain this amount of wackiness to be better, but it will most likely go back to 'serious' route as they introduced kates father who has old ties which is a shame.

yosuke is a dumbass, no way this bloke spent so much time with a smart guy like seiroku and is believing he can be reunited with a dead person.

That seems like an overly harsh reading of the author's posts. I only read the ln's synopsis but there are some fundamental differences, I think it's perfectly reasonable to be upset over that sort of thing
>>
>>290054848
Everyone in the show is rather credulous. Even Seiroku believed the love tester was feasible and made blueprints for it. And nobody over at the textile company questioned Kihachi's ability to bring the dead back to life.
Which is quite realistic since the japanese tend participate in multiple rituals from different religions while many people in the 19th believed science would allow us in time to speak to the dead. It was a time where its potential was understood but the limits not really.

Yeah, gacha and v-tubers have been a disaster for anime fandoms.
>Modern otaku have everything handed to them on a silver plate so they are just passive consumers
Yeah this. And AI makes it even worse. Especially with bishoujo or moe. The male content seems less affected by AI for some reason. Maybe fujos are more likely to draw for fun or maybe because the designs are harder to generate/less likely to be fed to AI. I hate how that slop is even bleeding into the real world. My (formerly) favorite bar now has shitty AI menu cards with generic anime girls eevrywhere. That bar was never anime themed to begin with, the owner most likely doesn't even know what anime are, but they told the AI "make pretty girls presenting our menu" and ran with it.

The best? The girl on the very COVER of the menu has six fingers. The number of people who fail to recognize AI slop or can't see its mistakes is shockingly high among casuals, older people and normalfags in general.

Yurifags latch onto yuri because it's yuri. Lara is great, but so is Jaadugar which none of them are watching because it's not yuri. It's very popular just not among them. And same people won't watch SoT either because they want yuri to be the central aspect of the show. Same reason for why I dropped Dandadan. Great animation, probably great directing though, but if I fail to connect with the characters and don't care about its romance it's useless to waste time on it. That doesn't make the series bad.

Okay, but lets say she knew
How was she going to "look him up"

>>
>>290056874
If Yosuke could find him I don't see why she couldn't. But you have a point maybe it's a perk only zaibatsu heirs can enjoy in this era.
Moreover, even if she knew and gave it to Kihachi she might have feared Yosuke would just steal it back from the unsuspecting teenager. Which, to be fair, is exactly what happened.

Unironically i feel kyoani working on this is a big negative, it wants to be like those stupid and random activities per episode anime especially going by last 3 episodes however because it's done by kyoani they are trying to make it something more with the genius dead brother plotline whose younger brother will bring something revolutionary, not helped that it's got extravagant production with art direction in particular being above tv standards when it should've been like kamikatsu. If this was done by say studio bakken or pallette i would be indifferent because i know what i am in for.

Free was so shit. It was just nothing imo. It was trying to attract the female audience in such a roundabout, stupid way it becamelargely unwatchable to everybody else but didn't commit to gay shit either. So you were left with a very girly show about dudes which is bad but might have still worked if the story was interesting at least, but it wasn't. And swimming isn't nearly as interesting as a sport as boxing or skating or something, at least not in fiction.

The budget is unfortunate but the direction is stellar. The skillful composition and editing support perfect comedic timing. The cast has fun chemistry and Mizuka is how you write a great MC. She and Maria are easily better than every character in Sparks. It's very shallow to claim /a/ only likes it because of "yuribait".

>>290063350
Grow up show does have some good things going for it, mostly the comedy and subject matter, imo. It also has bad points: the budget, as you said, the drama is at times forced (Imari and Isuzu) or uninteresting (the twins), although that's subjective. Also I dislike Mizuka (for now), she seems very annoying to me, especially in her relationship with Ouka. That will probably change, but so far I wouldn't call that show anything more than a decent seasonal anime with an interesting premise and an annoying main character that's still rude half-way through
>>
>>290068838
Are you the poster who hates Mizuka? It seems like everyone loves her except one guy.
>>
>>290069743
Dunno, I don't hate her though.
I think her character has great potential, I just hope she will get the development she deserves. Last episode was the beginning of her character arc, so we'll see.
I do think she's annoying right now, but I also think that's what the director wanted, to show that, at least so far, she's not there willingly.
Don't be a redditor though, me being critical of her character doesn't mean i hate her, and I would like to think that 4chan is not an echo chamber yet

Circus is just standard CGDCT and not even as good as half those over a decade old. Its the definition of "fine".
>>
>>290069778
I'm not sure what you're critical of besides personal distaste
>>
>>290070098
She's still as annoying as she was in the 1st episode, she didn't progress (almost) at all for 6 episodes, I don't think that's a good idea considering that's a 12/13 episodes original anime.
There are too many characters and too little time to explore them in depth, but that's a very common issue and a critique aimed to the anime in general rather than Mizuka in particular
>>
>>290070130
>She's still as annoying as she was in the 1st episode
That's personal distaste
>she didn't progress (almost) at all for 6 episodes
In the first episode, she was only concerned about money and surviving and would've left the circus the moment she could. By now she has bonded with the girls and actively helps does things for them and even cares about their values and personal problems. Then "if I repay your debt for you then you'll be free to leave" scene makes it clear that now she wants to stay with them even if she won't admit it.
>>
>>290070225
As I said, this is the beginning of her arc so I will hold my judgement, but so far I do think she's annoying and that's a personal opinion, yes.
>By now she has bonded with the girls and actively helps does things for them and even cares about their values and personal problems.
That's only partly true, let's not forget that she won't do anything for free.
She helped Imari and Isuzu for money, she helped the twins because she was searching for the elephant for money.
She is still a very one-dimensional character: "i'm here because I'm forced to be and I'm doing things just to earn money to pay off my debt", that has not changed in 6 episodes.
>>
>>290069778
You're not being critical about her character,
Youre just wrong about it.
>>
>>290070266
>she helped the twins because she was searching for the elephant for money.
Then when she found out the elephant was being abused, she refused to return it to the owner in exchange for reward money. If we're talking about one-dimensional characters, that's all Sparks has.
>>
>>290070291
We'll agree to disagree then
>>
>>290070294
Fair, but the driving force is always money.
I agree, Sparks have one dimensional character and we are okay with that. You people behave like Circus is the best anime of this year while that's not true in the slightest, just a CGDCT no. 23 with Circus as the only innovative thing. And, from, that point of view, Spark is fare more innovative
>>
>>290070305
>she's one dimensional, she ONLY cares about money
>lets completely ignore her curiosity
>lets ignore the fact she can literally just run away at any point. Wtf are they going to do, waste time tracking her down?
>lets ignore that she consistently tries to bond with the other and understand them even when there is no money involved, like during shizuku's episode or the recent scene in her room with ouka
>lets ignore her sense of honor and morals
Again, you're just wrong in your assessment. She's not one note at all. You're just not paying attention to the notes because you think she is annoying. It's fine to have a personal dislike, but you are confusing that with her being a bad character with no development. She has absolutely developed over the episodes
>she constantly tries to learn more and more about them
>early episodes she was often eating alone at a separate table. Later on, she's eating with them
>by now she's gotten comfortable enough with them to reveal her backstory, something she seemed to deliberately keep hidden all this time
>opened up to ouka about her book and her late mother
I can understand that you think she is treating ouka unfairly. Ouka IS being consistently cucked, and the show (mitcher) does call her out on this behavior, at which point she seems ashamed, but you need to ask yourself why she's treating her this way. Her specifically. It's really obvious if you think about it for two seconds. She hates her father because of something deeper than just the hellish training, it's likely that it has to do with her mother's death, and ouka looks up to her father. She specifically wants to emulate him and she is the same type of perfomer. Of course she doesn't want to train her. Every time she flies she sees her paramecium. It's probably subconscious for her. She has no issues with training the others because the others are not anywhere near as tightly bound with her trauma. And you say she's one note.
TL;DR - ur gey
>>
>>290070408
>And you say she's one note.
Yes, and I will stand by my opinion until she proves otherwise. Because, despite everything you say, she's still the girl who hates circus, the girl who is there only because she needs money. She cannot run away, where would she go?
When it comes to character development, actually, Spark is better than Circus:
Kihachi now actually seeks help from those around him, while at the start he was more of a loner.
Inako is actually challenging her father's authority, while at the beginning she was submissive.

Can you say the same for Circus? Ouka was the girl who wanted to become a great pro, still the same person.
Imari was the magician with self-esteem issue, partly resolved but not completely as we haven't seen a performance in so long (another glaring issue of this anime), etc..
The only character that actually changed was Shizuku.
TL;DR - you're behaving like a fucking cultist to everyone that thinks Circus is not the best anime of the year
>>

this show is still convoluted however this episode in also messy but in an enjoyable way and i can't pinpoint why
>>
>>290066799
In basically everything. It's easier to say how they're similar:
>The story takes place in early 20th century Kyouto
>Kihachi wrote a book of predictions about electricity inventions that would come in the 20th century, an idea he got from his older brother Seiroku
>Seiroku was an old acquaintance of Kuga, Noriko and Stuart
>Kihachi is an atheist who believes electricity will be the future of humanity
>Inako is a deeply religious girl who believes in pretty much anything people tell her
>Kihachi and Inako meet at 15 yo when she goes to pray at Inari Jinja and he's there to fix a gramophone that belongs to the local priest, he then hands her his business card as he works fixing people's machines
>her family runs a sake business and her mom was the boss and she was very good at it, Inako deeply admired her and wanted to be a sake brewer when she grew up
>her mom is now dead and the business isn't doing so well, so they're in talks with Mizoe Yousuke, the son of a very wealthy and famous merchant family, for business agreements
>Jin'emon, Inako's father, agrees to have Inako marry Yousuke against her will because she's a dumbass and this marriage is her only shot at a good life
>she breaks a fan and goes to Kihachi for him to fix it
>when she comes back her father locks her up in a storehouse because she keeps messing things up
>Kihachi goes there, learn about it and helps her escape, but they're eventually captured
>Yousuke is after the catalogue and Kihachi doesn't have it
>Kihachi lives with his uncle Bunshichi, who has a buddhist articles shop
>Stuart is good friends with Saki
>Inako is very cute
>Noriko is very beautiful
>Kuga is very muscular but also rash
>Jin'emon has a mustache and scolds his daughters a lot, especially Inako
>Saki loves drinking
>Yajirou exists
>Noriko and Kuga are engaged
>Kuga and Seiroku went to war but Seiroku died in it
I think that's about it.

I'm a different guy, buy I agree she's very annoying, even if they have a good reason (and she probably doesn't, there's no way the show will have her father abusing her like that or even that badly) it's just not fun to watch someone be grumpy constantly.

This is one kid with a few helpers. Unless they team up with Yousuke they can't create any bigger things, and Yousuke is a complete nutcase.
>telefones
They have microsphones and speakers, and basically created one when they were pretending they could speak to the dead.

And it's a KyoAni show, they always use whatever material they have to tell stories about emotions and relationships. The tech is just a means to the end, it's not the actual focus, it's more like magic to create a whimsical atmosphere than cold hard SF.

It's not like the speakers are any less silly technologically than a tram or train would be. It took decades to refine moving-coil speakers to the point of them becoming usable, and vacuum tubes were essential for amplification before the invention of semiconductors (remember that they can't even make a proper light bulb). The show is clearly not trying to make any sense, so they might as well build a train or a tram or a computer or a ghost in the shell or ultraelectric weapons that wipe out the planet.

>>290101210
I get what you mean, but the complexity of the speakers, vacuum tubes, or the pickups on the instruments doesn't really matter, since in comparison to modern electronics these are still really simple pieces of technology. It only matters that they are all small enough to be built inside of the workshop and powered by one person, that's enough for being believeable in this whimsical semi-magical setting.
But when it's about the size of a train or a tram it's a different matter since you can't just manufacture these inside of the workshop, you'd have to give them a bigger place, additional workers, expensive materials, build some rails, and biggest of all, a high voltage power source since even in this setting it's not believable that one person on a bicycle generator could power a train.
