Weekly Anime Impressions – Fall 2014 – Week 11 – Ore Twintail and Shirobako Episode 11

Christmas is almost here and the full 12 Days of Anime is the next thing on my list. It will come out by Tuesday.

Ore Twintail ni narimasu

Yep, she is excited that Souji is now an ACTUAL girl!

Up until now, Souji had a strong passion for twin tails. Sadly, that is slipping away from him as he transforms into a real girl. It seems that she is more interested in girls after being kissed by Isuna than twin tails. There is no wonder why he turned into a girl permanently with no known way to revert back. Moreover, this also impacted Tail Red’s ability to battle as she became completely powerless against the Ultimaguils. Heck, she couldn’t even defeat Worm Guildy, the weakest out of the bunch and that makes me sad.

On the other hand, I admit that Sora looks really cute despite the trouble she is dealing with. Even so, it’s surprising that she is well endowed compared to Aika. Still, I admit that Aika was the best character in this episode for the fact that she took care of Sora and taught her how to take care of twin tails properly. Yep, it seems that Sora have gotten too use to instant gratification by transforming into Tail Red in order to touch her own twin tails and she now has to take care of them properly.

Aside from that, while the animation quality improved a bit, it appears that the last episode will be exciting. Will Sora resolve her feelings? We’ll see, but I highly doubt that Souji will return in the finale considering that it can’t be that easy to change back. :p

Shirobako

Looking for a job is tough, but you can't give up too easily. — Looking for the dream job is tough, but you can’t give up too easily.

It seems that Aoi is having trouble in finding someone to finish the key frames since almost all the animators are unavailable. While she eventually found someone at the end, it’s kind of interesting to see the difficulties she faced when she tried to find a job after graduating from college. She was enthusiastic at first, but afterwards, become depressed with all those rejections she received before getting hired by Musashino Animation. This just shows the harsh reality that recent graduates are facing with a tough job market. While it’s improving, I have some optimism that I will find a job of my own. ¶
