Which Anime are you watching or have watched recently IV?

[Shanghai industrial complex]

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.

I was joking at first about it's name being ridiculous, Gundam Chicken Wing whatnot.

And then I remembered the names of the main characters.

Heero Yuy, AKA Odin Lowe Jr.
Duo Maxwell, AKA Father Maxwell
Trowa Barton, AKA Triton Bloom, AKA Dokter T.

And fucking Quatre Raberba Winner.

What the fuck is up with these names.

As long as the Japanese people read these names in Katakana, and makes them feel powerful,it's OK.You know, the Japanese have Chūnibyō .
They also love to add a little bit of laughing Point to the character's name.For example, the main character of seven dragon balls is a pile of vegetables.Super vegetable man.

The MC of Dragon Ball is Goku, who is named after the Japanese translation of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, which the OG Dragon Ball (Not Z or GT or Super) was based off of.

Saiya-----It comes from the Japanese pronunciation of vegetables 'Yasai'
Goku,His real name Kakarot----The pronunciation comes from carotte
Vegeta----vegeta(lbe) Prince！
Raditz----radish
Bardock---burdock
Nappa---nappa
Brilo---brocoli remove a syllable

Frieza----freezer
King cold ----freezer's father

Ginyu---Pronunciation of milk in Japanese
Gildo---German of yogurt,Cut some syllables
Jeice---Cheese
Burter--Butter
Recoome---cream

And their original pronunciation is in katakana.They like playing homophony.

Yes, a lot of the names in Dragon Ball were based on puns, no one was arguing against that.

Goku on the other hand, was again, based on the Japanese translation of Sun Wukong. With any pun coming way later after his original conception.

I've been watching BNA: Brand New Animal. Like Zootopia, but with human lynch mobs, crime and terrorism. It's enjoyable so far.

Ok,yeah.He is the main character of the book.His name is Goku.There was no Saiya before Z , but many of Goku's opponents and companion were all Chinese food in OG Dragon Ball .Bulma's even a lady's panty.Most of these names are still pun .

I only just now realized you were joking and I am officially an idiot

...This makes more sense than it has any right to.

Frozen Teardrop is the sequel novel, Glory of the Losers is the remake manga that's actually much better than the show.

Don't forget Iron Blooded Oprhans.

Might as well have called it Gundam: My Mom and Dad Slapped Me As Soon As I Was Born.

I think you missed the main point of Gundam having hilarious names in general.

IBO takes place in the PD timeline, Wing takes place in the AC timeline.

And yes, IBO is utter trite.

Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater
Now I want to fish and eat

[Castelia]

So, after nearly a month of inactivity, I began watching anime again, starting with the seasonal anime.

So far, I've only watched OreGairu Season 3, and it is just as I remember it: that same bittersweet treat that I just can't get enough of. Definitely one of my choices for AotS and AotY.

On the other hand, I still plan to watch Rent-a-Girlfriend, Misfit of Demon King Academy, and Uzaki-chan, and I might add some more other shows if I get interested in any.

Edit: I've also gotten around to watching A Whisker Away, and I'd say it's average. Art and music are top notch, but the characters are unlikable and the story's predictable. Meh.

Berzerk Episode 10.

[Saiwania]

oh u sweet summer child, dont check out the manga only sequel for Gundam Wing. Its..Something.

Even when put into context, this one scene from Gundam Wing is pretty funny.

Heero Yuy basically drew attention to himself in ripping up an invitation to a party that lots of people wanted to attend and threatened to kill a girl in front of everyone. If he didn't want to go, there are far better exit strategies that could be used. What happened would just leave most bystanders thinking: "no wonder he doesn't have any friends" or "what an idiot." Why even bother to enroll at that school on an undercover basis anyways, if she didn't know enough to blow his cover or had nothing in terms of proof that he was on Earth to do sabotage/terrorism?

She isn't deterred by this incident however. Nope, she wants to know him even more for some reason. Meanwhile, Heero's interactions with her are mostly negative or he's constantly trying to commit suicide- at least initially. While her positive feelings for him are mostly one sided. Its just crazy. Then again, some people are said to be irrational. No romances needed to be shoehorned into the story but seemingly was.
