title: "sora no method+eva the ultimate question: part 2"

> 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](/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)].
