(Oh, memes. Never change.) This episode's theme: How Does This Compare to the Classics? (core, see here for all themes and takes on the episode)I think this'll be a good way to wrap up.Okay, so what's a "classic"?"Classic" implies tradition. Tradition is something that has to go back a long way, in this case to the beginnings... Continue Reading →
This Art Club Has a Problem! Ep. 11: Robbing the Bank
The only thing nastier than Kyoto boys and deadlines people impose on you is the set of deadlines you set for yourself...(yes, I'm finishing the Konobi post only a few hours before it has to go out again). This episode's theme: Which character would be most suited to rob a bank, and why? (episodic, see... Continue Reading →
This Art Club Has a Problem! Ep. 10: But President Doesn’t…(Keep Being You, Prez!)
After much dissing of Subaru, I think it's finally time to give the club prez the love he deserves.Theme for this ep: President's motivation (see more themes and takes on this ep. here) Normally I'd try to pick something while watching the episode so I'd have sufficient things to say, but an electrician decided to...

This Art Club Has a Problem! Ep. 9: Thrown Into the Deep End
Normal life came back on Tuesday...but because I've been focussing on volunteering and stuff which hasn't been tested in conjunction with said "normal life", I was late to everything by at least five minutes! *sigh* Such is my life. This week's theme: "Estimate the character’s academic grades, using this episode as evidence" (episodic, see other... Continue Reading →
This Art Club Has a Problem Ep. 8: Let’s Nickname Everyone!
As soon as I saw this episode's themes, I knew I had the chance to call Subaru "A Doofus in Love". Theme for this ep: Nicknames for the characters (see other takes on the episode and themes here) I interpreted this theme as "give all the characters nicknames", but let's start with the status quo:...

This Art Club Has a Problem! Ep. 7: When Staring at Backgrounds, Make Sure Not to Get Lost in Them…
Spoiler: I got a dud topic this time. This time's theme: What's going on in the background? (episodic, see themes list and more takes on this episode here) The background in this show is quite empty, but that means when something interesting pops up, it's all the more notable. I'v counted everything in the background... Continue Reading →
This Art Club has a Problem! Ep. 6: All the Animals…and Then Some Other Stuff
Theme this time: Animals (see all themes and post for this episode here) The Cute Transfer Girl We start our episode by looking at Mizuki's room. As you may remember from a previous episode's post, Mizuki's room is full of adorable rabbits. Then there's also her rabbit clip, of course. Edit: In particular, while Mizuki... Continue Reading →
This Art Club Has a Problem! Ep. 5: No, Subaru Does
I guess half the fun of doing this collab is playing with the show's title. Theme this time: "Criticise everything Subaru says and does" (episodic, see themes and other takes on this episode here) It was a tough choice between praising the Prez and dissing Subaru, but diss tracks are all the rage right now,...

This Art Club Has a Problem! Ep. 4: Pulling No Punches with Punchlines
What a punchy post title...I perceive it to pretty much have 100% panache...okay, I think that's enough alliteration for now. Today's theme: Cause and effect (see this episode's themes and other people's takes on the same episode here) In order to figure out the true extent of the cause and effect in this post, while...

This Art Club Has a Problem! Ep. 3: Fussing Over Details
I figured I'd take a laidback approach with this one; that is, I'll type up whatever comes to mind and then cobble it into a post. That's what I do most times, but the process always turns out to be a slightly different experience. Today's theme: Sometimes, It's the Small Things in Anime (core, see episode themes here)...
