Boogiepop wa Warawanai – 14
「オーバードライブ 歪曲王 1」 (Oobaadoraibu waikyokuou 1)
“Overdrive: King of Distortion 1”
If there’s one thing I can say about about Boogiepop after 14 episodes it’s that it’s not especially interested in making things easier on the audience.
Mob Psycho 100 II – 08
「それでも ~前へ~」 (Soredemo ~ mae e ~)
“Even Then ~Continue Forward~”
Well, that was certainly an effective bit of misdirection.
Boogiepop wa Warawanai – 10, 11, 12, 13
「夜明けのブギーポップ 」 (Yoake no Bugiipoppu)
“Boogiepop at Dawn”
Watching this arc immediately after “VS Imaginator” was interesting, because they seem to represent the two tonal extremes of this series.
Boogiepop wa Warawanai – 09
「VSイマジネーター 5」 (VS Imajineetaa 5)
“VS Imaginator 5″
On their own either Boogiepop’s pure intellectual ambition or its historical importance would make it notable as a series. Together, they’re more than enough to stamp it as one of the more interesting and important anime of the season.
Mob Psycho 100 II – 07
「追い込み ~正体~」 (Oikomi ~ shoutai ~)
“Cornered – True Identity -“
It’s the little things that really make the difference with Mob Psycho 100.
Up to Snuff 2/18/19 – Just a Box of Rain
Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
Boogiepop wa Warawanai – 08
「VSイマジネーター 5」 (VS Imajineetaa 4)
“VS Imaginator 4″
It’s probably fair to say at this point that I find the longer arcs of Boogiepop wa Warawanai more involving that the really abstract ones.
Mob Psycho 100 II – 06
「孤独なホワイティー」 (Kodokuna Howaitī)
“Lonely Whitey”
I’ve noted it before, but the thing that really makes Reigen such a standout character is his paradoxical nature.
