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](/images/2015.png)
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
|
|
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)].
