Is anyone else familiar with Maidcore? I have been stuck on this garage band sound for several months now.

From what I understand, it originated mainly from 2chan. 2chan is the Japanese predecessor to 4chan. A lot of the artists are Russian, which may bum some people out. Still, it is stuck in my head and I just needed to share.

Here is a playlist I keep coming back to. The first album is IMHO amazing, the rest is mostly bgm I happily play while I work.

So I missed out on anime for the most part growing up. In the last 6 months or so I have immersed myself in the medium, mostly because some friends wouldn't shut up about Dungeon Meshi. (They were correct in this action, btw). In that time I have mainlined a bunch of shows, and my life is much richer for it.

I fell in love with Bocchi the Rock and Girls Band Cry, so going back and watching K-On made sense. I think the first two are arguably better shows overall (BTR might be my favorite anime), but late in the second season, K-On might have gotten the most visceral reaction out of me so far. If you've seen the show, you probably know what I'm talking about.

I watched this ep last night and I just couldn't handle it. Like full on sobbing, ugly cry. I'm tearing up again just thinking about it.

I'm not 100% sure why this hit me so hard. This season has had this theme in the background throughout. Even though they mostly eat cake and crack jokes, this has been bubbling just beneath the surface, only occasionally showing up with Azusa's concern about the band fucking around instead of practicing, and Yui and Ritsu not having plans. But for like the last 10 episodes, it's been all I can think about. I have been legitimately worried about these moeblobs and their fictional future.

I think the fact that this show doesn't often swing the emotions hammer, as well as the high highs of the episode followed by catharsis for this simmering issue is masterfully done. It's both textual and meta-textual, because the viewer also knows the show will end soon, and we also will not be with our friends anymore. They manage to do this without it feeling emotionally manipulative too. It's clever and bittersweet and so in line with the themes of the show and so incredibly well executed.

Nothing was resolved, nothing materially changed about their world or their characters, and they didn't really learn anything new. But damn if it isn't affecting. I've spent a lot of time with these girls now and I'm invested. I'm not sure if you could do this as effectively in a show with more plot; slice of life shows really let you live with the characters and get to know them.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk I guess. Needed to get some thoughts out. What shows have had the most emotional impact for you?
