Notes for Evangelion from 1.11 to 3.0+1.01

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Overall

I just watched once from the beginning through the end, so I still have many questions. I understood almost nothing. Stories and their backstories are complex.

Animation is great. Battles are really movie quality

Questions and hypothesis

When was the 1st impact?

I think it was explained in 1.11, but do not remember it at all

Who the hell are angels?

Who is Kaoru? Clones like Rei in moon?

Why did Asuka become an angel? And how did she survive after Evangelion Unit-3?

She became it because she was eaten in Angel 9?

Dummy system didn’t kill her so that’s why she was alive?

Why did Seele know Angels?

In the 1st place, who the hell Seele?

Seele is the person who knows Angels in the very early phase. Can be one of the members to develop Evangelions?

Why did Gendo know there are 13 angels?

Why did Gendo know the overall prospects?

What the hell are Evangelions?

Create machines from humans or angels?

What the hell AT field is? Why did Gendo use it?

Gendo took something so he quitted human beings. So he is kinda Angels or Evangelions

It’s an obstacle between creatures, according to Gendo???

Why were there so many Evangelions after the 4th impact?

4th impact released creatures from bodies if I’m not mistaken, so they were just remnants of those bodies?

Who the hell is Adam and Adam's children?

Why only few people can operate Evangelions? Shinji makes sense but not sure others

Is the Shinji on the last scene on Thrice upon a time the person who can be grown with parents' love?

Is the last scene the world Shinji wished or Gendo and Yuri did?

Stories

Story is great. From the beginning, it’s always like what’s going on next!? So I wanted to know more. Especially because there were many questions in my mind, I wanted to know the answer from the following episode

Shinji’s character development is REALLY slow. He grew at the middle of the last movie

Asuka became an angel but wasn’t called as the number. Maybe she was 9th if she was able to become it after she was taken in unit 3

Characters

Why did Yuri choose to be the control of unit 01 in the 1st place? If she didn’t, the world probably wouldn't have become something like that.

What was the background of Mari? Was she a coworker of Gendo?

Was Asuka and Shinji relative or childhood friends?

But Asuka said she had an emotion or feeling that is created by others to Shinji. Was she kinda same as Kaoru?

Animation

A lot of battle scenes that dynamically moved, designs of fantasy creatures or battleships, and expressions for spiritual scenes

It was funny that unit 1 and 13 battled in a few rooms like a classroom. They were normally huge

Notes for My Hero Academia episode 107 - More of a Hero Than Anyone

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

Wow, this episode is the something about darkside. It was stunning and horrifying.

The backbone or the history of this world is mostly dominated by the All for One, so I should’ve expected a plenty of darkside story.

The story of Kurogiri, Present mic, and Eraser head reminded me Kakashi and Obito in Naruto for some reasons.

Characters

Eraser head is passionate though he usually doesn’t show. When he had an interview about Bakugo after he was captured by villain, he also showed his passion.

Animation

For some reasons, I felt the animation where Eraser head and others walked on crosswalk and also Eraser head and Present Mic walked before going to Kurogiri was good.

Notes for The Detective Is Already Dead episode 7 - In Time, You Will Recall this Day

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

This episode was mainly for fan service? Until the last, there was no important plot.

I’m not sure how important Alicia is

I was wondering why Kimihiko couldn’t find her when they were going to run towards the left side. And there was a meaning. That was great

The closing was good. Who was that woman? Cerberus?

Characters

Siesta is usually cool and she couldn’t do something like what she does when she is drunk?

Notes for SHIROBAKO The Movie

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Overall

I like the TV series of this anime very much. And still, this movie is an epic.

I guess this is an animation to show “life is an endless battle”. They are many scenes to show how people react to a failure or a success

I felt it’s kinda not fun at the beginning because the future of Musashino Animation Animation is different from what I originally imagined and wanted to know why it became like that. Same as the feeling or motivation of Miyamori

Stories

There were many stories about each character, but most of them was very shallow in this movie, compared to the TV series. The main was for Miyamori, and her character development

However, because it was great to focus on one character mostly

Other characters are like 3 to 5 scenes only

It’s actually interesting that Lolo said it’s a producer’s responsibility to finish the job, but the last decision Miyamo did was to remake the anime to improve even though it was ended

Maybe SIVA was the revenge version for Time Hippo, so it wouldn’t end if the animators weren’t satisfied with their jobs?

Characters

In terms of positions, Miyamori and other 4 girls grew a lot

They became a producer,

And in terms of what Miyamori did to avoid a contract, that is comical but it’s still marvelous

Probably Hiraoka changed the most and he is really dependable

Animation

The anime in this anime, SIVA, and how it was updated was really impressive and when I watched the updated version, I was like, stunning. It shows how it’s gonna end.

Notes for The Detective Is Already Dead episode 5 - That Was Directed at One Year in the Future

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

New series started. Is this a story when Siesta died?

Then Hell was the culprit?

And will the Sidekick get along with her later, according to her talk?

Where was the Robot from?

Does it related to Siesta’s ability? Or does it one of Siesta’s 7 items?

There is a Sacret Write to prospect the future. Then Siesta’s ability is something related to such a prophecy?

She can predict too much about incidents

If what Hell said is true, the Sidekick was just unfortunate and got many bad things in the past?

Or good things happened to him but he just forgot.

So, does a nation cooperate with SPES?

Do they want biological weapons? Will they begin a war or something?

Actually, what does SPES want?

Questions:

Why did Cerberus know Shar? Can he read someone’s mind? Or can he change his form to what other people think

Notes for Girlfriend, Girlfriend episode 5 - A Third One!?

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

Plot: Anyone noticed they three were dating.

Me: It was obvious

Plot: Milika tried to be a girlfriend but refused. Then she started living outside of Naoya’s house

Me: This is stereotype of a plot of anime

Plot: One of them succeeded to take a shower without a bath and she’ve never gone back to her home

Me: I’ve never been predicted such a story lol

Characters

I really like Naoya. He is honest and he is a black or white usually.

Why is Milika afraid so much?

Obviously, she doesn’t like Naoya. She doesn’t care, rather.

However, she is really strong, insanely strong lol She seems she can deal with anything even if her identity was exposed

Notes for The Aquatope on White Sand episode 4 - Tropical Fish In Boots

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

This episode is mainly about that Fuuka’s identity was recognized by other members

And the end was the expected result, that Fuuka’s mother came to the Gama Gama

And also, how do Fuuka and Kukuru feel about each other after Kukuru asked jobs to her

Fuuka should’ve expect to get attentions from other people because she was an idol

I guess she did, but probably the expecting and coming it true was different

The customers who came there was calm enough to listen to an advice, or threat, to stop taking a picture for her

One of the sea creatures (sea cucumber?) has the mouth and butt as the same organ? Mysterious.

I guess original idol groups will come to Gama Gama in the following episodes.

And that gets attentions from other people and the reason to become Gama Gama keeps opening?

Characters

Fuuka is the person who is trying to do things she has to do very hard.

All Kukuru is doing is for Gama Gama, to keep it open.

Notes for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 2 episode 40 - The Congress Dances

This includes spoilers, especially I read novels

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

They talk a lot in meetings.

If it’s in an anime, it’s kinda long, though I know this is important

Characters

Spirits like Ramiris and Treyni have paintings below their eyes

Animation

Beretta’s voice actress is the same as Saber in Fate

It was cooler voice than I expected

Notes for Spirit Chronicles episode 4 - The Assassin Girl

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

Latifa is pitiful and I can empathize with her.

She was suddenly dead in Japan, became a slave, and got a cursed collar

Why did Rio name him a true name to Latifa, instead of Haruto?

Didn’t he have an intention to live as Haruto?

How many people are from Earth?

Rio, Latifa, and Lisse

Characters

How many people did Latifa kill before?

At least she is used to doing it? And she is strong

But she didn’t remember it at all in this episode

[a-ishikawa]

Notes for Spirit Chronicles episode 3 - Kingdom of Lies

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

Why are nobles such jerks overall?

In a monarchy era, if nobles do not care people, they couldn’t govern their lands

Wanted to have a background as a setting

For some reasons, a teacher or princess didn’t help so much for Rio

So will Celia not appear following episodes? She isn’t heroine?

Animation

A few scenes of animations weren’t well drawn. Are animation production is new or didn’t have time?

The monster jumped and it looked just standing in the air

The battle to cut the neck of the monster was, Rio just moved his position

Notes for The Detective Is Already Dead episode 4 - What I See in That Eye

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

Story is good. In every single decision of Kimizuka, there is a reason.

Like why he pretended to be a fan in the rehearsal

Why he thought there was a something in her left eyes and its ability

Chor called Siesta Mom but felt weird. How old are they?

Or Chor was a kind of orphan and Siesta growed her?

Why didn’t they care about the guy aiming Saikawa’s eye?

SPES is a faction and probably will not solve issues even if they caught him?

But at least the Sidekick didn’t try to catch and to crash the group at all for some reasons.

Saikawa’s eye was given in the past, which means the quirk can be not only from their natural ability but also one made later.

The story was actually good. Hope it’s gonna keep or be better later.

Characters

Siesta is a really good character. Will she appear in the flashback scenes only? I hope she actually survives and will be involved with the main plot.

Animation

I like Saikawa’s sapphire eye. That’s beautiful.

Notes for Remake Our Life! episode 4 - Consider What You Can Do

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

Talent and taking it seriously is a great way, but it’s also important to take advantage of what they are good at.

So, I feel how Nanako chose her way isn’t bad as long as she can do things seriously

Characters

Characters themselves are great, but they are too emotional or too immature against their ages.

Kyoya is 10 years older mentally but still gets embarrassed if he saw girls with swimsuits

Kawasegawa is easy to get pissed off from jealous and also say what she thought from her jealous

Nanako isn’t strong mentally and cried in a room after Kawasegawa blamed her. But I guess she is an extravert and I felt more natural that she just would be pissed off to Kawasegawa

Animation

What is the last scene in every episode?

Nothing has shown up so far

[a-ishikawa]

Notes for The Aquatope on White Sand episode 3 - Life Begins In the Ocean

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

Kukuru was just a high school student.

Didn’t think ahead the worst case scenario to get helps from a pregnant woman. But it’s hard to imagine for their ages?

Why didn’t she choose to ask her grandpa at first? Because he decided to close the aquarium and didn’t care the Choko?

About Fuuka

She knew how to feed a penguin

She couldn’t bring an empty water tank

I felt it was not very good way to bring it. So if she changed, may be she could bring it?

Maybe her mother will come to the aquarium later. She sent the message where she is to her mother in this episode

Animation

The drawing is beautiful as usual. I was impressed the one illustration to show a flower with a sea background.

[a-ishikawa]

Random Notes for To Your Eternity episode 14 - Jannanda, Island of Freedom

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

This is actually a deep topic in this island.

Freedom, no one governs, no conflict among beliefs. Sound amazing

Kill a person is common, suddenly starts selling services, claims ownerships of other people

What is her name from Yanome? I forgot

Hayate? Or something like that

Did she become stronger? I guess she know she couldn’t win against Fushi, but what will she do and does she want?

Probably not revenge? Or just revenge?

Fushi became not to kill anything, not only humans but also other animals or probably creatures, neither

He could only defeat Nokkers but not others now?

[a-ishikawa]

Random Notes for Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid season 2 episode 3 - Extracurricular Activities (Of Course They're Not Normal)

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

Tohru is really talented but one of insane dragon

Too much obsession with Kobayashi

Lucoa, and of course Kobayashi, is such a nice woman and is very matured kindly caring to other children like Ilulu

How old is she? She is a dragon so I guess more than 100?

I think it’s common in Japan that we do not wanna do something weird from others so that’s the theme of this episode for Tohru that she stopped wearing a maid outfit.

Follow your heart, not reputation. That’s I guess something the author wanted to write?

Saikawa is really a pervert character though she is a very young. I forgot what happened to her with Kanna.

[a-ishikawa]

Template - Notes for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 2 episode 39 - Ramiris's Warning

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

The title is Ramiris’s warning, but it’s not main at all in this episode.

Characters

Yomu and Grucis are nice guys, so is Mjurran

Especially Yomu. He was just one of prisoners but he took responsible for new country

As far as I know, they aren’t key characters anymore, so they will appear less and less, unfortunately

Animation

I feel conversations are little bit off still

Fuze got pressured and it makes sense, but his reaction was a kinda over suddenly. It’s more clear he said something beforehand

No one followed nor took any reaction to the joke of Phobio to Grucis

[a-ishikawa]

Notes for Battle Game in 5 Seconds episode 2 - Demon God

This includes spoilers

I wrote this from what I randomly thought for this episode

Stories

The ability to recognize something by a smell of girls is very limited

It’s too limited. This old man will lose soon anyway even if Yuri hadn’t won

Yuri is nice girl though the attitude isn’t

She wants to protect the daughter of her mother’s boyfriend after seeing she was hurted

She also tried to save and protect a stalker, though he killed her. He is insane

Animation

Mion’s voice was really unique

CV is Mayumi Shintani, and she was not new voice actress but I didn’t know most characters she played

It might be fit with the character like Mion, but I’m not good at it
