Asobe Asobase

I keep a document of every time my mom says an anime title slightly-to-very wrong, and one of the ones she gets wrong the most often is Asobi Asobase. So you writing "Asobe" instead of "Asobi" just reminded me of that.

But yeah, we loved Asobi Asobase, and I still think about some of the moments regularly.

Paranoia Agent

The first anime-related video on YouTube was an upload of this show's OP, which I think is a neat little fact.

The Demon Girl Next Door

I feel like the first season was stronger than the second one in some ways, like the plot in the second season is more complicated than it really needs to be when it's a parody show. But aside from that, Momo and Shamiko's relationship is pretty cute, and it is a pretty entertaining work overall.

I think there's definitely something to be said about P&S being portrayed as sexually-active adults who are choosing to do the things they do and the way they dress, as compared to eg The Demon Girl Next Door where the "jokes" centered on sexualization are at the MC's expense.

Pretty much, yeah. Devoid of context I'd see Shamiko's outfit as an "if thy right eye offend thee" thing, but in context the costume is textually sexualized at the wearer's expense.
