Plastic Memories 4-5

~spoiler fun times~

Taken on its own I don't think Plastic Memories 4 serves as anything too interesting beyond the setup for episode 5. They introduce the black market dudes who take Giftia for ??? reasons, shed a little more light on what happens to a Giftia when it starts to lose consciousness beyond its expiration date, and lay the foundation down for the relationship between the Giftia of the week and her ungrateful little ****. It's interesting that they establish in these episodes that laws exist to protect the "human rights" of Giftia but I can't help but feel that the situation still conflicts pretty fundamentally with how society as a whole operates (why does a human work force exist at all with Giftia being almost literally humans in every important aspect?). At least I can sort of appreciate how the government seems okay with a situation in which a human is put in the care of a robot for the duration of its life span just because they seem to have acknowledged how human like they are ... what happens to the kid after the thing expires though? Does he get a new Giftia assigned to him to act as his caregiver? Hm Hm.

5 though ... what the **** did this show turn into? At a certain point my suspension of disbelief just started to become really really tested here. Giftias, when they go beyond their expiration date, turn into "Wanderers" which you sort of internalize as something resembling a walking toaster, just a mass of walking electrical components without any sort of directed will. What they've actually turned into is a death machine with no inhibitors that are able to achieve completely superhuman feats of insanity. There's no way that they'd be taking this job as casually as they have up until this point with the danger that comes with an expired robot continuing to exist. And there's 0 explanation as to why these Giftias don't just have an internal off switch that goes off the moment they've reached their expiration date while waiting for the collectors to pick them up. Holy crap.

Kekkai Sensen - 5

Best episode thus far. There were some legitimate complaints to be leveled at some of the episodes prior to this. A lot of issues with pacing and **** just "happening" one after another without proper buildup or laying of the foundation for the story pillars, episode 4 in particular being guilty of this. But 5 really comes in and I think executes extremely well the show's strengths. It's a break from the overarching vampire plot introduced in the last episode (no complaints from me there as it felt far too rushed to get too invested with when all was said and done) and serves as just another chapter of the craziness of the setting that they've plopped us in. I'm adoring the fact that the show seems more than happy to expand the cast of interesting characters from week to week, and in 5s case we get the psycho obsessive "brat" who has an absolutely magnetic personality (her voice actress was pretty ******* amazing too) with the new Libra operative. Craziness of the main story of the week I like that there was a bit of a grounding effect after the insane happenings of the episode, with the show taking some time to develop the relationship between White and Leo when all was said and done. Loved it.

Also, on the topic of Love Live, I guess I should thank you. Your No Brand Girls music video led me to Love Live, which in turn has become my all-time favourite anime.

So, thank you. I'll add you when I get home.
Sincerely,

Funny how that works XD

I just got my first UR today after scouting
Kinda disappointed that it's yet ANOTHER Umi (I have like 4 now), but still pretty awesome I got one so soon. Also has a "cool drastically increases" bonus.

This game is going to suck up so much of my free time...

Okay, not to completely sidetrack this thread with Love Live buuuuuuuuuut....

You should have stayed NF with me =ƒÿö

I was convinced that NF was dead. Or, at least, dead PC wise. It didn't seem like you guys would be making a comeback anytime soon...

If I were gonna let NF die I would have returned to NS

So guyzzz, tell me what you think of this song.

I can't get it out of my head.

Link isn't working. What are the title and artist?

I thought you had quit altogether

Senbonzakura - Wagakki Band

That's a classic of a song in the voicooid world - and her cover mixing metal and j-pop is great, her voice makes it all perfect. The MMD's created for it are wonderfully done too.

Just gonna say this: The Toradora opening (first one) is addicting as fuck.

Why am I still listening to this.

I actually had a remix of it before I knew what Toradora was.
Think Sota actually recommended the show to me I'm this thread.

Granted it was a terrible remix, but still pretty funny.

Oh, Shayz, it was fun trying trying the small blaster on you kek
