- Spoiler:
-underground forest is dying. but actually, how did it survive down here without sunlight to begin with, do they have some kind of artificial sunlight system?
-They rely on technology beyond current abilities. Why do super-technologically advanced societies never seem to write down anything important?
-"the world is full of things you're better off not seeing, knowing or fixing"
-Gagumber pretending he's tired to get them to rest without hurting her pride
-oh no, they've been living off powdered tea all this time! In a region with a Chinese name, too!
-Outro style is cute
Getting a little bit more about the world here, but it's still not really feeling like it's living up to its potential, they're kind of retreading old ground in terms of character and what they need to do before amping things up in pacing. It's not exactly putting me off, but it's also not drawing me in further either, still kind of waiting for it to make up its mind.

TBH, I think this is what Sakugan is. It continues to remind me of Dimension W where it's just good enough to watch but it never really rises above what it is, a medium-high quality mash-up of things that other series did better.

Yeah, I had some hope it might just need some time to kick itself off, or thought it might get annoying enough to push me to drop it, but seems like it's never going to do either. I could go either way on keeping watching, are you going to keep it?

I'm a-okay with continuing to watch it, especially I just dropped Platinum End.
Lupin III Part 6 Episode 4
Lupin III Part 6 Episode 4
- Spoiler:
- The attempt at Pulp Fiction blathering to build tension isn't working for me
- Pew pew pew
- Damn, this crew is really hardcore with their murdering and assassinating
- Lupin is pretty much like one of those reality show Pawn Shop guys, he basically knows the encyclopedic backhistory of everything that you can ever sell
- D'awww, she didn't kill him after all

Lupin III Pt VI E4
- Spoiler:
-for some reason the super-unimpressed waitress cracked me up
-"what do they do at night in this town" "they eat the dinner, obviously"
-that was kind of a lot of time to spend on them being obnoxious customers, I'm sure it's going somewhere with it, but it's still pretty slow. I'm not sure they're going to pull off the "clever talky laying the seeds for a payoff later" thing all that well.
-kill 'em all
-that is one severely depressed criminal
-And now a dead one. Kind of cruel to fuck around with all that "can I help" first.
-Long history lesson
-oh, she let him live, I guess she just beat them to the prize to be nice and let him off
-and then we get a happy ending of pulling guns on each other
Yeah, I don't think they really pulled it off, the payoff needing such a long history lesson took away from it feeling like a payoff, and the beginning was pretty boring.

Sakugan E6
- Spoiler:
-oh god, he's gambling away their whole reward, at times it's painful how terrible he is
-I guess it's another "go to new town, meet colourful new characters" episode. I wish they'd get to exploring the unknown.
-as soon as Memempu sees the gambling clip, she's like "never mind, destroy him"
-Man, they're going so heavy on the orphan Jean Valjean sob story shit, I'm hoping maybe they're planning a twist where it's not so black and white, but I'm not confident they aren't just this heavy-handed
-wait, no, they're doing the twist but just by going heavy-handed in the other direction, anti-authority justice-fighters inevitably go extremist
-oh, thank GOD, this is for some Gagumber backstory, that gives it all a point and hopefully will land up making the whole issue a little more complex.
-Gagumber's whole argument made no sense, though, it didn't seem like it was making points against anything the kid actually said, it was halfway arguing against the other side. And we didn't have enough info about this tower he was attacking to have any idea if it was genuinely going too far or just a useless ego thing or if there'd be any bad consequences, so it all feels kinda pointless.
-Kissing some playboy bunnies is the best they could do for exposing the bad guy??
-I guess this is the team going forward.

Sakugan 6
- Spoiler:
- Promptly invested his reward in gambling
- Proclaiming equality while looking like the nobility, hmmmm
- Dropout land
- Memempu completely turns on Gagumber upon seeing what he did in the casino
- Punching a wall with a metal prosthetic would probably still hurt up your arm where it's attached
- I see, Les Miserables
- My man wants to be a full blown terrorist
- Pranking the big bad, that'll learn him
- More party members!

Sakugan 7
- Spoiler:
- Whoops, we're repeating ourselves now, the red flowers got us in a time loop
- I've had dreams get weird like this before, like no matter what I did I couldn't make it coalesce into a solid image
- Convenient cactii
- The dream's rewinding and showing Gagumber being killed, welp
- Next colony is maybe the one Gagumber came from?
- That smell wasn't rust, yo
- And they're being stalked by the freaky dream person
The show doesn't take itself seriously like 90% of the time and then sorta takes itself seriously the rest, it's pretty jarring sometimes and this episode demonstrates that the best.

Lupin 3 P6 E5
- Spoiler:
- So Lupin time-traveled to the actual tales of Arsene Lupin?
- "Television device." The mix of technology is so weird
- Pretty sure that fall out of the window would destroy your legs at least
- "Shit I've been sent back in time" Followed by "Awwww shiiiiet, there's treasure to steal here too >: )"
Yeah, I guess Lupin isn't exactly pulse-pounding or thrilling, it's kinda just cheesy spy tropes with dashes of humour in it

Lupin III Pt VI E5
- Spoiler:
-some kind of 'jumping into a different story' side story?
-"I'll put on a goofy face so I can ruin your collection"
-I'm a little confused what the point of putting the characters from this story into a different story is, it doesn't really feel like the characters have enough depth for it to be interesting to see what it's like to slot them into another universe. Maybe it'd be more interesting if I'd read the other books, or just was more familiar with Lupin III's characters.
-Hm, this guy is Goemon and knows he's Goemon? Is he transported here like Lupin or is he just an ancestor also called that?
This is all fine, but I've got to say I'm getting a little bored. It'd help if we'd get back to the plot with Holmes, I thought that was going to be more of an overarching thing.

- Spoiler:
-did they get the 10-yr-old drunk??
-oh wait, the flowers are drugging them
-this show isn't clever enough and the characters aren't good enough to make it really funny
-they found fake cure cactus
-these dreams are getting creepy
-a baby?
-oho, Ururop's watching them
Finally seems like we're starting to get somewhere.

I think this is how Lupin III generally is. Only one of them was a long-term story and the rest are mostly episodic

Yeah, I wasn't expecting a lot of ongoing plot, but I figured we'd get a little more than this because of the time they spent introducing that mystery with Holmes' daughter which needed a resolution.

Lupin III P6 E6
- Spoiler:
- Pretty cool sword vs gun fight
- Well, at least the idea of the Japanese military trying to set up Asian mainland enclaves would be historically accurate
- Magic panes of glass are probably not historically accurate though
- Ohoooo so it was the actual Goemon because only he'd know about the sword
Well, that got kooky very quickly and wasn't really satisfying at all.

Lupin III P6 E7
Fucking love that intro
Fucking love that intro
- Spoiler:
- Eyyyy Holmes
- Ho shit, that headshot
- Holmes is cold-fucking blooded, he used a man's child to catch him in a poisoning case
- Lily WATSON
- Awww, Lupin puts his gun away when it's Zenigata
- Ohoooo, Lupin is at the least taking the blame for killing Watson
- Zenigata might have more balls than anyone, jumps out in front of a sniper without giving any fucks
- So Holmes is trying to protect Lily by making her believe it was indeed Lupin who killed Watson, instead of the Raven guy
- Damn, Lupin, "time to get over it" is a little cold
- Everyone with the fucking face-ripping
- So Lupin and Holmes are bros now

Lupin III pt VI E6
- Spoiler:
-oh, it is an ancestor, I guess. With a worse sword. What did Lupin cut it with, though, even a bad sword isn't something you can just slice through with a mannequin?!
-his "HEY?" when they jump out the window together but she has a parachute
-lampshading that they're being kidnapped and going the wrong way by having her joke about having that happen, that seems like a very 'this show' tongue-in-cheek humour
-oh nooo, alternate-Jigen killed alternate-Goemon!
-I should have guessed Akechi's Lupin in disguise, any time some random person is accused of being someone in disguise, the accuser's really the one in disguise
-this show's tech is so enthusiastically all over the place
-oh, it was the real Goemon after all, not dead
-a-are we in a holodeck? They're lucky they didn't do this in the Holmes episode
-alternate-Jigen finally tells the bad guy to fuck off
-somehow it all being a holodeck feels weirder and less realistic than if it had just been unexplained magic.
-I don't even get why putting him in a virtual world was supposed to get him to give them the password, there wasn't any talk of passwords throughout the story. Or why someone created this massive, secret technology and then just used it to try and find a thief's loot. This show likes last-minute twist endings, but I don't really feel like this one worked.
-Cute uncovering the brick that he signed, though

Lupin III pt VI E7
- Spoiler:
-finally back to the big plot
-planning to kill someone by giving them hallucinogens + fireworks and hoping that randomly makes them freak out and shoot themselves seems like way too massive long shot for anyone to try, let alone succeed at. This show's pretty wild with everything it does.
-I love that he calls Zenigata "Pops."
-there's no way he really killed Watson, this is the kind of show where he goes around shooting constantly but never actually murders anyone (or at least no-one that matters. )
-his goofy answering-the-phone voice in the middle of a serious discussion/shoot-out
-Yup, there it is, of course he didn't kill him.
-huh, he just let him go, he must have known Lupin wasn't the real killer. Though I thought when they were talking earlier, Holmes talked like he was?
-Honestly, your daughter's sick enough that you're taking her to the hospital, are you really going to just leave her alone in a car in the middle of the night just because of catching a glimpse of a criminal?
-Zenigata and Lupin working together
-It's really Holmes in disguise
-Mrs Hudson with a massive arsenal of weapons
-That was kind of a fast wrap-up, I was expecting to spend a few more episodes on this.
-Oh wait, I guess they're still doing more with it.

- Spoiler:
-Backstory time!
-Surprised they're still having the new guy recovering in hospital, I thought it'd be the kind of show where anything less than death has evaporated by the next episode.
-just suddenly passes out on top of a pipe across a massive drop, and Z-whassername was expecting it, uh-oh
-He never came back for the little brother
-Point M87, and it's a threat to Memempu, finally we're getting into some meaningful stuff
-"Cheating is what grownups do"
-Woah, he's got some kind of Spider-sense Marker implant?? (though tbh, that's not really that impressive a move to demonstrate it, it'd be pretty reasonable to have felt the guy coming at him from behind and dodged without any special powers)
-Whassername's Zack?! Kind of cheating to use a normal name that's only for boys in English to mislead us. Otherwise I like it, though, adds some point to her character hanging around.
-oh shit, he didn't know she was a girl, I thought I'd just been misunderstanding originally and that when he'd said that the bullying would have been worse if he was a girl, he'd meant it as a "you're such a tomboy you don't count as a girl" joke. I'm not sure if that means one degree less dumb than I thought I was, or one degree more.
-Came off like he probably would have let her shoot him if Memempu hadn't been there to see
-The ghost of child her and Rufus going through the whole scene
-that bit where his Maker Gale-power whateveritis takes over
-Zack quietly sitting down and crying while Memempu sobs, like she's kind of just accepted that it's Memempu that gets to have that level of grief if she loses him, not her, because he took Memempu on as his kid, not her
-Memempu echoing what Rufus said, when you would have expected that line to go to Gagumber, interesting move
Okay, yeah, this is the kind of shit I'm here for!

- Spoiler:
-"You're forbidden from looking at, touching, or interacting in any way with flowers"
-Zack (can never remember her other name, so she's Zack from now on) and Gagumber still fighting over whether he said he was going to Core City (wouldn't be surprised if it just turns out they said it just as a "we're off to riches" kind of thing and never actually meant they were going there, so of course he doesn't remember)
-trying to drink the water to stop it from leaking
-I liked the way they've made an emotional chain, papaya to the ones that died at the start to Gagumber dying and also kind of to older people being able to handle things and look after you, and to the fragility of that
-electricity from fruit. Though, papayas are a really unacidic fruit, would they even work?
-"I had my little tantrum, and once it was done I felt so silly" to describe grenades and multiple gunshots
-she finally told him he dies in the dream
-doesn't have to believe her or understand her to stick with her to the end
-getting mad at realizing they all see through her emotional immaturity even though she's the smart one
-everyone panicking at the rescue
Not much happened, but did a decent job with the quieter emotional stuff

Lupin III pt VI E8
Sakugan 10
- Spoiler:
-using too powerful rounds was destroying his gun
-the scene of the kids playing cricket feels a little Miyazaki
-good job kid with crush for noticing a kidnapping!
-Lupin interfering
-Daddy Long-legs, huh? Hopefully that reference is just meant to characterize himself as a benefactor, nothing more, because YEUCHHHH
-Good timing, Jigen!
-That "it's okay to trust me, kid," (as well as being a dumb reassurance) seemed surprisingly warm, I wouldn't have thought he'd have much tolerance for kids.
-slams right through the police barricade
-They got the kid to dress up as her
-jeez that guy is a bad shot, Jigen's just standing there!
-what the fuck, that was the dramatic last shot with his faithful gun?!
-He got a custom copy
-Kid's gonna be a gunman now
Sakugan 10
- Spoiler:
-Erases their criminal records just like that, Merooro's a good guy to know.
-I love that he's like "princesses are actually useless," and they're all just like "wow, you've met princesses?" (kind of feels like they should have established princesses earlier, it feels like an awkward bit of worldbuilding just dropped in here now)
-their government is actually trying to do something about climate change? This show is so unrealistic!
-why does he care that Shibito interferes with the princesses, when they're apparently just figureheads anyway?
-World salvation in sterile-looking rows of carefully labelled metal boxes
-Gagumber's stance and value as a parent being questioned, and that almost-smug, almost-sympathetic look on Zack's face about it
-And then telling him to dad up already
-Merooro manipulates him into finally going to save Memempu
-Yuri agonizing over letting Gagumber in to probably drown and Zack's just pressing the button for him and "don't die or I'll kill you"
-"I always want a front-row seat for that smile," awww
-Rainbow children?
-Punches the mask right off
-I can't help noticing the Shibito girl looks a lot like Merooro
-Gagumber immediately taking his hand back as soon as Merooro points out he's supposed to hate him, he's such a child
-uhoh, Shibito girl has a pendant too
