"The themes of Season 2 - of privilege, of perspective imbued from upbringing and being a good person despite - are really well handled, it's just annoying that lame plot beats like kidnapping have to move them along."
"The boys aren't nice people, and it contributes to the silliness."
"Bakarina makes it seem like it's so easy to imbue a cast with humanity and agency without sacrificing any of the fun"
"the situations ramp up in hilarity - from the awkward snickers that Catarina's world-uninformed antics arouse near the early episode, right up into the gut-busting ridiculousness of an eight year old recreating The Shining's 'Here's Johnny!' moment in the triumphant climax"
With the new season, I try and find the motivation to get excited for a lacklustre lineup. And Bakarina.
With the year concluding, it's time to countdown the best anime of the year.
"To address this question, I will take a step back and look at what makes an ending, deconstructing the narrative importance of an ending, and coming to terms with how important the ending is in the grand scheme of things."
"These moments go a long way to making the show so feel-good, because the banter is rock-solid, yet always kind"
"there is an art to 'so bad that it's good', and Brothers Conflict hones the craft"
"Gekihatsu Boy definitely imbues spunk into the reactionary humour"
