i have only read the early manga and watched some of the anime
i'm given to understand that the later parts of the manga are different, but can't say that with confidence or say if/how they might be better

I liked that show's ED but part of why i liked it might have actually been a mistranslation

I also like the ED, although I only really noticed the music and the "aho ka" "aho da" bookends (am I an idiot? I am an idiot), which was pleasing

Attack on Titan tricked everybody

All season long they called it "the Final Season"

It just ended on a cliffhanger last night, and then they said there's another season

They had even been saying "The finale is March 28!" There's a synergy here, because it was revealed that a bunch of the characters are lying about a bunch of stuff

Yeah, the joke is that Joshiraku is mostly just about five girls chatting, so there's very little to animate, and not necessarily much point to making it an anime in the first place. But they're doing their best and working hard!

great news too, you don't actually have to watch the first season to watch the second season of uma musume / pretty derby. it has a new protagonist and a new story that centers around a new, several new spectacular horse(s). first season was all about special week and her horse girlfriend silence suzuka, who only shows up by video phone in the second season which is actually a great recurring gag, one of many, and special week's journey to become as good as her horse girlfriend, and to become a good racer just in general

season two we get tokai teio who is already the best fucking horse in all of japan and horse racing in general. she's totally undefeated and on her way to winning a triple crown, which is i guess is just winning whatever the most important major event / track / race. and this is of course all motivated by the horse she's infatuated with, at least at the time, who did the same thing, winning the triple crown, i think undefeated the entire time also? and thats not just winnng the big event, each of the big events, undefeated ,thats winning every race in between to get yourself to the big event also

and from there i'm not actually sure what to link or to use to support my argument since the season would be will be actually the best without any foreknowledge, and i'm not a person who's even necessarily against spoilers? and you can unfortunately pretty easily spoil all of this stuff since all of the events are, uh, actual

there's a scene by a horse that i think will make me emotional, let's say, i think no matter how many times i see it, and out of context i don't think it reveals anything, but, man

in the US winning the triple crown is winning three races in the same year: the kentucky derby, the belmont, and the preakness. japan probably has their own set of three races
