Golden Time Episode 24 720p
Abdallah Porter
Golden Time is a 24-episode anime television series based on the light novel series written by Yuyuko Takemiya. The anime series is produced by J.C.Staff and directed by Chiaki Kon, with scripts by Fumihiko Shimo and character design by Shinya Hasegawa. The series aired in Japan between October 3, 2013[1] and March 27, 2014.
I was considering writing a final impressions but we have (spoilers) a lot of fun year end posts coming soon so I may not have time. That studio is worth keeping an eye on if they ever get a full length series, they seem to really have a knack for subtlety similar to KyoAni or PA Works.
anyway. I agree about the rush toward emotion and events. and also characters.
when Mitsuo protected Chinami with the serious face..when he was able to change like that? I remember him from the first episode as someone who will try to minimize contact with Kouko, especially when she enters that mood. and he even managed to dump her later. he has changed too much and too quickly since episode 1..and we didn't get to see that. I feel cheated.
moreover, when did he starts to have feeling toward Chinami?if it's because of their on the Film club..then, show it to us!
Yeah, this was pretty rushed. To put in perspective, the first 3 episodes each covered 1 chapter of the LN while this covered 2 chapters, just stopping short of that bridge scene in the preview that is the end of volume 1.
There was a lot more than happened after that cafe exchange with Mitsuo. Kouko went totally crazy in that concert and got drunk so much she was vomiting all over. It was pretty much a breakdown for her there, with Banri in tow to keep her in check. That concert also had some development for Banri as well, as he found Kouko to be a frail girl after all and couldn't help to look after her and like her for the strength she was showing all the time, thus his sudden confession.
They also skipped most of the trial dance in the Omaken. There were some funny parts there, especially with Kouko's dancing that Banri commented on.
Despite that, this was still a great episode. It was still enough to deliver the major points well. Plus the cliffhanger is more appropriate than the actual end of the volume.
Props to Hocchan for her overall performance so far. And it kinda feels weird for Oka's seiyuu to play a college student when she herself is still a highschool student. Seiyuus normally(always) play roles that are younger than them. Just a fun thing I noticed.
I don't feel it's fair to call it poor writing in the case of some fast developments. Perhaps that's just me being more tolerant of pacing issues than the average critic. I don't think it's important whether this was a gradual development of Kokou's self awareness or a sudden development. Sometimes, life hits you on the head with a rather large mallet from hammer space, and all of a sudden it dawns on you. Kokou finds someone in Banri-san who she can confide her feelings in, which apparently is a first in her life. Sometimes it just hits you. But old habits die hard. She may be aware that her conduct is hurting her relationship with Mitsuo, but she still behaves the same way. There's still development to be had.
The pacing was a bit fast for my liking, and I agree with how this ep could have been split into 2 eps. The whiplash from Yandere Koko to Self-aware Koko was a bit too abrupt, and the transition would have definitely benefited from having 2 eps instead of 1. I was also surprised last week's cliffhanger was resolved in a flashback, and I thought for a second that I had missed an episode. I'm curious about the choice of pacing, considering this show has 2 cours to work with. Hopefully, it will be put to good use.
I would have thought this episode would come later, at around ep 8-9, but it certainly makes the rest of the show that much more interesting (have not read the LNs). It's great to see shows that actually advance a relationship, and not mine the same field over and over.
Woah!I really never expected things to progress so fast and while this surely would've been better spread throughout 2 episodes it was still pretty intense.Kouko's fast switching mindset being the main issue aside,I also thought that Banri's confession came out of nowhere.However,after thinking about it some more,I realized I that he just saw a opportunity and decided to go for it.We got a much more down-to-earth romance story here where we shouldn't expect a wishfull pure love that's present in the usual RomCom show that's often so boring to the point that it's sickenning.
I don't know if this is the last Koko will think of Mitsuo, because it's not uncommon for someone in that position to say they're totally done with someone and then swing back and forth a few times. And Koko's realized things about her relationship with Mitsuo before, and then had the moment at the beginning of this episode. Perhaps the biggest difference from here out will be Banri trying to convince her that she can like him, rather than trying to support her love for Mitsuo while he himself falls more in love with her.
Brilliant episode I think. For the pacing, I agree with J-Man. There's a lot happening inside the head of somebody rejected and I'm not overly keen on the usual reaction (run away with or without screaming) in anime. Instead, there was a time skip which probably mostly consisted of silence at the café.
I felt that they did a good job of showing how Kouko is a totally different, and much more likable, person when she is not fixating on Mitsuo in episode 3. Banri had been working with her to try to get her to tone it down, she realized that she has done a lot over the years to make Mitsuo hate her, she just has trouble with falling back on old habits.
David is one of those legends that I could talk to everyday. His work spans through multiple genres, and has consistently stood the test of time. The first time he was on was for the show on Getting Your Photos Up To Speed. When I learned he was creating a book about his days photographing the golden era of motocross I asked him to come back on the show once it was finished, and here we are.
Well I think we can hold off the GhostBusters this week. Will also say that I should be able to start catching up on everything so a steady stream of updates should be starting now. As to this episode it... Continue Reading
