I decided not to move any threads to this one because there are a ton of threads in General that are arguably media-related, and after the hell of having to find and move all the obituaries (and then move them three more times to get them in the right order), I couldn't face it. Upon reflection, maybe if I confined myself to just the ones posted in the last year or so, that would be bearable.

(that's fancy for 'did not mean to suggest a lot more work, yikes')

After looking over the list, I decided to just move the most recent one (though it's pretty redundant with the way the discussion in this one is going). I think I'll go with this suggestion and only move others if they come back to life.

Spreading the....love, let's say...is a thing that should be aspired to~

Granted, Gushing over Magical Girls could certainly go about it in a slightly less sleazy way, but...

EDIT: See also 'Chained Soldier', which is a guy ending up as the slave-slash-pokemon of a team of girl monster fighters, and as a magically enforced reward for fighting for them, they do stuff to him based on his subconscious desires - so all of the things they do to him is, as someone I watched put it 'Hey, lady, I'm as surprised as you are that I'm into this!'

The thing for me is that I tend to get, at a minimum, very twitchy when it comes to material where the characters don't at least seem to be trying to respect consent. And, well, it doesn't sound like there's much caring about that at all in the series, so it would probably end up being the kind of situation that only ends in tears and fire.

(That probably sounds like sarcasm, it honestly isn’t.)

But stuff happened the way it did, so I've got to find a way to work with the hangups I have.

Are you talking about the Not Really Dead Person, or are you echoing Superbia's last line?

Speculation about the Not Really Dead Person popped up in the comments on episode eight.

Insert humorous comment here.

Well, the NRDP was fighting an opponent that did timey-wimey stuff. Near as I can tell, the end of the fight resulted in their being tossed backwards in time to episode 1, body created from the opponent, but mind being essentially the NRDP.

Other than that, the episode was pretty straightforward "Let's go save the universe, YEAH!" stuff.

They really compressed a 52 episode giant robot show into 12. :3

Not entirely sure how well that worked, just yet...

If you mean The Inspector... it's the same director, Masami Ōbari.

Oh, Bouncy-sensei.

I didn't watch The Inspector the whole way through, but I believe they learned from the way Divine Wars went and paced it better.
