sora no method+eva the ultimate question: part 2 2019-07-26

what happened last time

quite honestly nothing, really. we were about to get to what the ultimate question is. the ultimate question is whether i can find an anime that is otherwise a decent anime but with an ending bad enough to ruin the otherwise good entire anime.

why you should watch sora no method

there's the obvious of it being an incredibly cute anime. if you know me on the fediverse you should recognise this as my avatar there:

after a recent re-watch of the show from start to finish i realised one of my favourite things about the anime was its ending, which is excellent.

speaking of endings

i heard eva

which takes place in 2015

had a bad ending, or at least a disappointing one, but i didn't think it ended terribly at all.

bonus japanese lesson mentioned in an earlier post

it took me a while to decipher this scribbling so i knew what was really written there.

with subs

without subs

so, this is what i ended up deciphering: first, the kanji for ikari followed by the no particle and the rest (in katakana) 「バカヤロー」(pronounced bakayarou). so, if you know some basic japanese i am guessing you can figure out that the subs really didn't use colourful enough language in the translation. and, of course, the insult this lesson teaches is "bakayarou" [see also: baka (バカ) yarou (野郎)].

i really do love some of the insulting humour in this show

stay tasty! o/
