Kiznaiver Commentary

Kiznavier
Ep 1
Everything is RED.
Also, kid seikyuu. Or what seems to be kid seikyuu.
Okay...I'm lost. Please explain what just happened.
Okay...very English sounding lady saying "one for all, all for one". Weird.
Wow...this OP could cause seizures. Flasing colors and all.
Psyedelic colors. and people I don't know yet!
FRIENDS? Uh...I don't think so.
Wow. This kid is so dark. "They hit me and it's over"???
Doofus? It's just idiot, kiddo with the pinkish reddish hair.
That's not even your collar! It's the front of your shirt.
When bullies need to look like bullies, they will look butt ugly.
WOW. Butt attack. That's a first!
This Tenga guy is crazy. I'm not even sure faces can stretch hat far.
Young Katsuhira is so cute. But  then he grew up really ugly.
WHOA. Flashback time. With NEEDLES and IMPLANTS.
FAIRIES? I wish!
When did they come there?
She's generalizing a bit, I think. Not everyone wants that, right?
WHOA. Getting very close, girly.
I KNEW IT. She was going to push him down those steps.
PANTY SHOT. I'm kidding...maybe not?
Gomorin? Is this supposed to be important?
What the actual fuck is going on right now. This is like a road paved with drugs. Lovely drugs, though.
Hm, she has a point...
This is actually really cool. Really.
WHOA. That graphic, though. That was gorgeous. Them sharing pain.
WHOA. Look at them having that carved on their arm. PRETTY.
Roll credits. Oh...

Ep 2
Mission?
It's not that hard to choose a burger. Really. Plus, that's just gross. A vending machine burger has to taste goddy awful.
Remind me again why you chose TEENAGERS and not older people.
IT ACTIVATES.
Can other people hear it too?
Wow...that's oddly specific. How descriptive do you want them to get?
Tenga is funny. I like him. A lot.
EXACTLY, Cihdori is right.
Chidori better stop hitting people.
Wow. Sonozaki is so sadistic...
Don't tell me there is some romance here? NO.
How do you know your biggest secret? What if you don't even know?
For once, an anime character has parents!
Chidori's secret is she loves Katsuhira.
A shoe?
Why the need for mics?
I feel like Maki has killed someone.
WHELP. I was right.

Ep 3
I feel like they're basing high school life off of movies and books.
Violate her? WHAT.
Chisomu? Hm...he looks like a rebel. I can tell his secret is something like being abandoned or hurt in the past. He has to have a reason.
HAHA. That's so funny. Tenga is getting all attacked by those ladies.
Tenga is brave or stupid...
THAT IS HORRIBLE PAIN. Wouldn't there be double pain when he landed? He's all beat up, but he's pretending he's fine?
He's addicted to pain? Like sexually? Ick.
That's one big auditorium with not many people.
So you're connecting the sins? WOW.
True connection? How vague

Ep 4
Why are we forced to watch the same flashback?
Young Katushira is adorable.
STOP HITTING PEOPLE, Chidoi.
Maki is awful.
Yua is losing his popularity...
NICO. Youe desk is adorable.
Exchanging emails? That's so weird.
That is a hell a lot of fried rice.
What is she isn't human? HM?
That is NOT how you exchange emails.
SO WHAT if it's flashy?
WHAT game is that? Why don't they try to explain it to us non-Japanese people?
Involving torture? Haha.
That's a lame bus. Really. There's no seatbelts or anything.

Ep 5
Just HOW MANY people need to be attending the bath? And there has to be more jobs than that.
Are you comparing breast sizes, Nico?
And those pink head things won't work. You clean NOTHING.
Sonozaki is colored like cotton candy. And that's impossible...right?
Who asks questions like that?
That teacher is creepy. But he's cool too.
Why is it on their foreheads? Really.
Are all people connected?
Idol? Really?
Nico's head thing is adorable.
The Kizuna Committee is pretty goddamn evil.
This is like Halloween gone bad.
Wow...so strong emotions too? Cool.

Ep 6
Previous?
How did you get that pain in the heart thing? Also, wouldn't they hurt all the time because of Maki's PTSD emotions?
Charles de Macking? That makes no sense.
Wow...HUGE eyes. What's with that?
So you're asking her to do a documentary on her PTSD basically?
Gloomy feeling? Why can't it be a tug on the heartstrings or somethinh?
CURVES?
Shocking content? Hm...
That doesn't mean murderer...
Wow...that scene. That's insane. The poor girl.
Oh, Tenga. Homie?
Does anyone else ship Yuta and Maki?
WOW. They animated the video on Hisomu's phone even?
Where the fuck does the confetti come from?
Why don't you Google it? There'd surely be something on Google. About Ruru?
Maybe Katsuhira is changing, Sonozaki?

Ep 7
Tenga's so casual about Nico's crying.
Uhm...that's one big picture. Really. You were obsessed with Ruru that much?
Ruru looks like that other girl from Daganashi or something?
Seeing Maki with emotions is crazy.
That's actually cruel, Ruru. Pretending to have a seizure...
Sex scene? WHAT. What if it's not relevant?
I love that is echoes the manga. Really. It's cool.
A joke? Really? That's an awful joke.
Uh...Ruru is really going for the 'I'm going to die so let's try everything'.
WOW. This Ruru girl is seriously messed up.
Hisomu is so freaking funny.
Poor Katsuhira is roped into all of this hugging and loving.
They literally brought fireworks. I thought that was a joke...
Smoke was coming out of that Gomorin's EYEBALLS.
Do we ever get an explanation about how Yuta and Maki know each other?
And those little coverings are NOT USEFUL with slates.
Chidori really is the mom.
And it's STORMING.
Wow...Yuta screaming and running lik a prissy priss.
Take off your camera, Nico. Please.
Wow. Feeling the Gatsby vibes with that green light.
SEAWEED? When? How? They didn't even dunk their heads.
Okay. I'm crying now. Yup. That's salty water coming from my eyes. No doubt.

Ep 8
It's a sin graph!
Estrogen?
Saying "loooove" like that is super creepy for adults to say.
And are they locked into all the cameras?
They should be biologists. Not teachers/school counselors.
The color of sadness: your hair color.
Nico's going to go bananas with that machine.
That's one freaky jungle gym thing.
Exposition via a lesson!
What if people don't approve?
It's inhumane? I don't get it. Explain.
Dude. That's inhumane.
Oh my...Katsuhira...
Pigeons? WHY.
Butt ripped? Nice.
And they're all holding their butts.
She lives in a fancy shmancy mansion-y.
Nico and Tenga? HELL NO.
What I think is this: DUDE. It's one thing to have a love tangle. It's another to have the characters outright say it.
Old subway station?
Chidori is WAY too happy to be with Katsuhira.
And is that Katsuhira taking charge?
You can see NOTHING, Tenga.
SHE DOES look cuter than normal.
OKAY. So everyone feels it. That's so creepy.
Feels warm? Hm...that's how romantic feelings feel. I feel heartbreak really.
Wow. A jab at Honoka...
Secret tunnel? OOH.
NO DUH, Katsuhira.
You were holding her WRIST, Katsuhira.
Katsuhira looks way too relaxed for someone who is about to be confessed to.
BROCCOLI.
So my hypothesis is true. Sonozaki and Katsuhira know each other.
They had that just waiting for her? WOW.
Doesn't that mean there's one on his neck too?

Ep 9
Poor Chidori. I feel for her. Unrequited love sucks.
Oh geez, Hisomu... How ironic...
Motorcycles in a hallway? Why even...
Why is there even a basketball if you're not going to play?
And aren't Sonozaki and Katsuhira freaked out over the fact that they're being filmed?
Can someone cover Chidori's eyes and ears? Her little heart will hurt.
Exposition via video. :P
You know...I can't believe that Nico likes Tenga. Really.
And properly hurt sounds bad.
Happily offered? Really?
Whoa. Urushii had a child too? Who was in the experiment? Oh my...
Cue flashback.
And I knew that basketball was good for something.
Oh my gosh. This pulls at my heartstrings. Really. I'm not kidding here.
Whoa...what. What is that? (Also, did she just undress him? Even just some buttons.)
This sends shivers down my spine.
I think...this is where I start to fel for Katsuhira. Right now. In this moment.
Does this mean Tenga likes someone? He's forcing Katsuhira to chase after Chidori.
Can one person have two sets of Kiznaviers? Does that even work?
Tenga shouldn't be violent with anyone...
Sonozaki totally just force fed Tenga the news.
If Maki runs away and Yuta chases her...
So they now have the ability to hear their thoughts?
Just where did she lock herself in?
All their marks are glowing red. Not blue. Cool.
Stop them? How?
They're going to break.
You know...Yaamada and Urushibara are FOIL characters. Yaamada is delusional with the thought of only the Kizna experiment. Urushibara, on the other hand, is focused more on the kids, not just the experiment. Cool.
Does anyone else really want Chidori and Katsuhira to get together?
You know...Tenga HAS to stop punching people.
And all their feelings start to unravel the world.
Their words betray their actions.
This hurts my heart so so much.
How is Katsuhira NOT feeling this? Even I AM.
They're all in puddles. Yet it doesn't look that way. Just saying....it's a small art thing. But you know..

Ep 10
Hisomu? I'm surprised.
They're eating that many canned foods?
And, he's going to cut his lip or something with that can.
A dead cicada? So you've seen the said cicada before?
I mean...the show is almost over. SO. The summer has to end soon.
He's totally talking about the Kiznaivers...
Maki and Yuta WERE sorta friends before the Kizna experiment and all.
Nico is so cute.
Nico should be telling this to Tenga and Chidori and all.
Reverse harem. Hisomu knows things.
Proper friends? You WERE proper friends.
What is Sonozaki's part in all of this? Really. Is she particpant or expeirmentor?
No. Wait. What is she doing??
HOLY.
What was the mayor trying to say about Sonozaki??
I quite like Urushii. She talks to the group like they're adults. And explains.
Poor Sonozaki.
Oh god. This experiment is so awful.
They were killed. Weren't they?
Little Katsuhira and Sonozaki is going to make me cry. It's so so so awful.
But Katsuhira's crying is awful. It hurts my ear awful.

Ep 11
Insert cute Sonozaki backstory here.
Also, Katsuhira was a brunette? Was Sonozaki not always blue-haired?
By this logic, shouldn't Sonozaki also have white hair?
Chidori has some LONG fingers.
Would you rather just continue on and on and on without knowing?
Does Hisomu just hang around Katsuhira's place? He has his own place!
Ambient music? Buzzing can't be ambient.
Okay. I kinda love Hisomu right now. He's comedy gold. But also pretty smart.
This anime seems to antagoize Yaamada. But he's human too.
Nico-san? Not -chan?
Ise udon? If you don't translate that, I won't know what it is.
You could all just be 'moved'. You know?
Sleeping while standing up? That's not a talent.
Where is her mic? WHERE.
Also, what is she doing to do?

Oh my god. She is going to try and take all their pain?

Ep 12 What Sonozaki is asking is very...hefty. He'd be called a stripper or flasher if any other place. The Gomorins are fighting? Haha. And it's seen as a sport? Hahahaha. What do they expect??? Okay. They are going to DIE. How is he even walking? That thing is STEEP. There better be Kiznaiver Nendoroids. Soy sauce? Hahaha. NICO. How is her voice still going like that? Oh my goodness...these two. Oh my god. How do you survive that fall? Oh wait. YOU DON'T. Unless the powers of anime save you. They're SO PINK. Creepy Gomorin? She didn't eat a thing. YUTA TURNED RED. Nonononono. Tenga and Chidori? Nononono. Katsuhira and Sonozaki? MAn. For a while? Hahahaha. Why are they all wearing really prissy clothes? Tenga's in a polo. And Yuta has a sweater over his shoulders.

Toradora Episode 2

Ep 2
SHEDDING? Isn't that worrying?
Who cares about what's trendy?
Wow. These two are evil.
So...co-ed classes? Hm.
I love this teacher. He's so...muscley.
Poor Taiga.
How did they tilt it?
Also, anger issues.
Takasu shouldn't be listening to this.
And how does she not remember? HOW.
Wow. Takasu just said something pretty cool. About tigers and dragons.

Toradora Episode One

Ep 1
What in the world is happening? Is this supposed to be deep?
He calls his mom -chan?
She just got rug burn.
Do people really judge on eyes like that? GEEZ.
Dude, I don't even know the full name of some of my friends.
Tsundere alert.
Uh. Those kids aren't listening to the teacher at all. WOW. Rude.
Uh. They speak too loudly for these things.
MDs?
Gosh. These two are idiots...
He is holding up THREE fingers. Not ten.
Man, we're trying to be deep again. Aren't we?

'Bungou Stray Dogs' Episode 12

Ep 12
WAIT. Why do I feel like this is a repeat of the last episode? I don't know why.
So we're roping in America too? HM.
Why would they want him? Other than for the obvious reasons.
OLD SPORT? -shrieks- We're not bringing in Gatsby into this.
Uh. In all countries? That means they have enough gifted people to have a gifted division in EACH COUNTRY.
If Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't voice this American, I riot. Because he and only he can pull of 'old sport'.
See? Plot twist.
WHOA. Incest? Awkward.
Or you're out of the loop.
And who says she's fair?
She has braces. My god.
Uh, guys. Orphanages shuold not be that harsh on kids.
How does he know game theory?
OOH. SMART.
Another Gifted? Port Mafia? HM?
Whoa. Atsushi did something so so smart right then.
I like this doctor dude. What's the group he controls then?
OH MY GOD. He leads Black Lizard. Doesn't he?
Vita Sexualis? DUDE.

Baccano

Baccano
Ep 1
WHAT. This is a strange opening. I'm assuming this is an opening.
Wouldn't rainbows bring good?
Flying Pussyfoot? I know that means cat or something like that. But still.
I'm super confused.
HE LOST HIS FINGERS THAT EASILY?
Whoa...magic???
PIANO RIFF.
This Dallas guy. Is he important?
These men with their wrinkles! Geez.
This guy is BLOODY. Is he dead yet?
Luck looks so strange compared to Firo. Or is it the other way around?
Just how many names did you drop? OH MANY.
How nice. A rough transition between Firo and the snowy lands of wherever.
I can't tell who is important and who isn't...
That train whistle sounds strange.

Ep 2
Are we supposed to care about this old couple?
Why does he tack on her name at the end of everything.
CENTIPEDE?
She's standing out in her underwear. Or so it seems.
I kinda love the repetition of this scene.
Ennis? How does this Ennis person know where they are?
You're supposed to report suspicious behavior.
Poor Jacuzzi. Brew alcohol? Lame excuse.
Rail Tracer? When did Jacuzzi get that name?
They're going to give Jacuzzi nightmares.
To be saved...you sacrifice people. Isn't it?
Lemures? So...lemurs?
Czeslaw can't be a boy. NOPE.
Huey luey and dewey.

Ep 3
It's nice that the intro reminds you of all the characters and their names.
Uh....Chinatown?
So it's a newspaper?
BADASS.
Man, the background characters look AWFUL.
That's so stupid...
Animal abuse...
So you don't know the formula or anything like that? Why does it matter if he loses all the potions?
What if you AREN'T part of that family? Will they not sell to you or something
Miria is adorable.
Samath? Isn't is Samantha?
That's her BROTHER.
Asian and African stereotpes? WOW.
This old guy has one hell of a bald spot.
All I'm getting at is 'Don't mess with Firo's hat'.

Ep 4
Time jumps all over the place.
It's not like they hid their faces.
Lua is his fiance?
Wow. That gurgle at the end of his scream.
Three rival groups? WOW.
Yeah, just how is he not dead?
SPECKS? Only specks? How does he not have more blood on him?
They sell silly hats along with normal hats?
And where did their hats go???
Ooh. MAIZA?
What if they get sick?
Szilard and Barnes look so similar.
And how do you lose a button like that? YOU CAN'T.

Ep 5
Jacuzzi is such a wimp.
Why doesn't Nice wear a monocle instead of glasses? She has an EYEPATCH.
Uh. Bombs don't have those colors.
But he's immortal now.
Szilard is very good at this guessing game.
Ah, Firo. What a gentleman.
That wasn't much of a headstart/
Wow. This wife is genius. Piting the two groups against each other.
They get the boring job of listening to communications.
WHOA. What is that?
A+ for usage of sound to build tension.

Ep 6
Little Eve? As if she have a connection to her.
MORE NAME DROPPING.
So it's a person.
No one's mouth is moving. Yet someone is talking.
That's Dallas? I mean, I guessed so. But still. He's super ugly.
ALSO. Mafias are kinda...things you join. But don't join. Get my chill?
So how does Firo get it? A party? But doesn't Dallas have immortality too?
Who is Czeslaw?
MAN. Donny has no room! How has he been surviving on this train this long?
DONNY GOT IN? How.
That's one hell of a shard of glass. WAIT.
Then who's running the train!
Firo and the Gandors are two separate groups.
But aren't they friends with Firo who is part of the mafia? Or so I thought.
They sound like zombies.
Is that bird feed?
Isn't that suspicious? Even Eve thinks it's a little suspicious.
What is Ennis going to do? I wish I could hear her thoughts right about now.
Dallas is so rude. Geez.
So they picked Dallas at random? Or did they know?

Ep 7
How was this girl allowed on board? 1700s weren't that open-minded.
Maybe that's who the...Trail...what's it called again?
Shouldn't you be speaking in an old language?
Wasn't she just upstairs? I thought...
CHUG CHUG CHUG.
They're going to abuse the 'eating' thing.
What happens if you want to give just SOME information?
How do you know if it's a real name or not?
Elmer? Like the glue?
Fermet?
I doubt he'll change.
Why grant him a wish?
Is that Glue's pickup line? Smile? LAME.

Ep 8
They're so worried about a souvenir?
What are they planning to do?
Playing the God card, are we?
They didn't restrain her???
And how did she escape?
I love how Issac and Miria are ASSUMING.
What's with the sand?
Meri? Not Mary? Stay consistent!
Nice and Jacuzzi? I say no.
Did Issac and Miria go there to rob them anyways?
Issac and Miria are the best comedy.
Americans would not know these references of these Japanese things.
Aw. It's so cute that Donny wants to protective Jacuzzi.
Jacuzzi is such a good person.
THEY FELL ASLEEP? And that's how she got out?

Ep 9
And she spent half of that time crawling on the undercarriage.
That got gory...
Torture is still used today.
So it's the conductor? Why, though?
So this is Claire!
I hate the eating part. I hate it so much.
They're killing the girl? NO.
You know, isn't Clane one of the main characters? Firo too! And Luck. Where are they?
Czeslaw? What now?

Ep 10
This guy has a daughter? OH. Chance? Right!
Wasn't Czeslaw on the alchemy ship?
Gandors? Why would they care? I'm still confused on this mafia thing.
THEY WERE DATING? FOR TEN YEARS?
How does she even hear you?
Why doesn't he just shoot??

Ep 11
Are Firo and Maiza in jail?
Firo is too good for this world.
Which one? There are many. Right?
What does Chane hope to do?
Ah, Firo. Your idioticness is kinda cute.
What did you expect him to be doing for 200 years?
He knows Czeslaws's name, yet he doesn't know he's immortal? Or does he?
Claire is a true sadist.
The poor Immortals. They feel pain. But they don't die.
OH MY GOD. His patron...
There are so many families. I'm so lost.

Ep 12
I think I can like Rachel.
Yet the director didn't know? Or he doesn't care to share this information.
Jacuzzi, out of all the characters, must have grown the most.
Did he not see the Gandors?
Why didn't Ennis say a thing before this?
Maiza has let no one drink it. I think.
That's egocentric.
I don't want to watch this...
If Miria and Issac die, I riot. They are the best characters in this entire show. No contest.
You killed, I killed. GEEZ.
I should feel something for Lua. But she just DOESN'T CARE.
GOD. Nice is getting some feeling with blowing things up.
You mean...Immortal?
Issac is such a bad driver.
A+ job for these seikyuus. They are doing a great job with the shaky talk..
Szilard smashed into the windshield, but Dallas didn't?
Does Lua really care for Ladd?
How did he do that that fast?
Uh. Ladd's going to die.
She hid it in her eye slot thing???
Wow. This is all by chance and good luck that this is happening. If not, those two are dead.

Ep 13
WHAT. What is Claire offering? What is he thinking?
Nice is pulling on his HURT arm.
What treasure?
What does he intend to do?
FIRO. Oh my god. The poor boy.
Miria and Issac would be great parents for Czeslaw.
KAWAII EYES.
Wait. Nice knew Czeslaw? Hm...I only remember Jacuzzi knowing him.
Firo and Ennis? Hm...I don't mind.
We still don't know why Issac and Miria know Firo.
MAN. Luck is cruel.
DID THEY ALL DRINK IT?

What happened to Claire? And Rachel?
