Another good way to look at this is that the character development episodes are the best, and often get overlooked by the big fights. The early season 4 Hero Oppai Dragon anime episode is amazing. It’s just a fun, low-key episode where the Harem are all at a pool, and you get to see a lot of the club members interacting with each other in different ways than usual. The way Issei grows in the mountain training episodes with Tannin from season 3 are also awesome. He’s trying his hardest without Rias there to save his butt, and it really shows his character development. These kinds of filler episodes are really the heart of the series.

The depiction of consent in the series is another topic of debate. However, when the show portrays Issei to be respectful and protective, even beneath his perversion, these are some of the more positive episodes of the series. These scenes reveal his core character in refusing a situation that would allow him to take advantage of someone, or entering a mode of wild fury to protect someone he cares about. The Juggernaut Drive, in particular, is a self-destructive attempt to protect someone. These episodes are some of the more compelling character studies in the series, and they rescue the loud pervert of the first half of the show from being a one-note gag.

The V title of Agust D/V word painter V is like a small puzzle piece. At first the name seemed too simple but fit well for international fans. And Korean-BSoloist-Taehyung loves the name too. He even writes his name with a stylish V on the fan-made merchandise that he signs for fans.
V has done a fantastic job of cementing the name ‘V’ to his career and artistic endeavors. Be it his stages or photography (we’re talking about ‘Vante’ era Instagram posts here), everything V touches seems to get his seal of approval and become ‘V’-ified. It’s a label, that the Korean rapper has so successfully used as a brand in itself to signify the artsy talent that is V. And one has to hand it to him, who else could pull off one-letter moniker with as much style?

Butters’, the lovestruck and slightly naive, attempt to ship them in a way that is sort of innocent and nice, the ever-sarcastic Cartman’s cynical comments that suggest he is maybe, just a little, jealous of all of the attention that Tweek and Craig are receiving, and the baffled acceptance of the boys’ parents all serve to highlight the humor in the situation. The episode “Tweek x Craig” is perhaps the most humorous, in that everyone in town is convinced that the two fourth-graders are engaged in a dramatic yaoi story. The ways in which Stan and Kyle attempt to be supportive of the two boys are endearingly awkward. Jimmy’s news specials, here, serve to highlight the ways in which the media can blow something so very out of proportion in order to drive up ratings. And the humor in all of this, again, does not come at the expense of the feelings of Tweek and Craig. Rather, it comes at the expense of the overinvested feelings of everyone else. The two boys are sort of the straight men in their own love story, which is very funny. And the contrast between their straight-faced, serious moments and the hilarious going-on’s of those around them serves to make their heartfelt moments all the more powerful and believable.

I randomly found the Amanee OVA that Amazon has licensed while searching for other anime on their site. You never know what hidden gems you might find by typing the name of a show into a search bar (usually found on the top of a page) across different websites. As for a mobile game collab, you might find archived cutscenes from the story on the developer’s YouTube channel. Good luck!

Contrary to that opinion, I think the 'Curry of Life' arc actually detracts from Team 7's prominence by mixing them with Team Guy. They are both in the story, yes, but it's a near 50/50 split between the two teams and an arc which could have been about power-granting curry and a combined effort by 6 genin. Instead it is a quirky concept and not particularly noteworthy for highlighing the peculiarities of Team 7.
However, as a story to see the unique relationships within Team 7, such as rivalry, love, and development under their mentors, this isn't the arc for that. For a story of that nature, it'd be a "crossover episode" stretched into an arc of 5 or so chapters, having the entirety of Team 7 sharing time in the story for fan service of interactions between some of the members such as Lee and Sasuke. Overall, it's more of a story that focuses on the entirety of the Konoha 11 (_lite_ version) as opposed to the 7 members of Team 7, so I wouldn't count this towards lists trying to show Team 7 most.

Get familiar with One Piece World by starting with Chapter 408, ‘Landing! The All-Female Island, Amazon Lily.’ This is Boa Hancock’s world, and we see her wielding her power while covering the emotional scars of her past, as well as her growing attachment to Luffy. A great, tight and emotional story. She then joins the fray as a key player in the various story lines during the big Paramount War saga. Without her, the rescue mission of Ace by Luffy would have never happened. To this day she remains a permanent part of the storyline, even in her occasional short returns, where she always has lots of story to bring with her and share with us.

Structurally speaking, amnesia is typically deployed as the ‘darkest before the dawn’ moment, the trauma reveal followed by the apparent destruction of the protagonist’s chance at happiness through the consequent amnesia. The effect is to deepen our emotional investment in their plight, readying us for the ultimate romantic climax. It’s a classic romantic structural device. But only works if the ‘darkest’ moment feels earned – as opposed to a gimmick – and here that will depend on the individual viewer’s preferences between psychologically realistic cinema and the deeply emotional rollercoaster of the best romantic films, which use the twist to raise the stakes for the grand gesture that follows.

I was on the edge of my seat screaming at the TV for them to run! But that would’ve gotten them killed. The scene was so brilliant in that it helped the viewer understand what the viewer of the TV show was going through and why it was so bad. It would’ve been suicide for them to run, so the viewer is stuck suffering through the slow crawl with them. It’s a great shared experience of terror. Incredibly tense. You feel every second of them slowly crawling through the dirt. Instead of having a typical car chase in most shows, BB gives you a much more intense experience of two men in the dirt, slow crawling and it’s so much more intense than a typical car chase would be.

Jesse fundamentally tells Walter that there is no amount of strategy or planning that can repair the devastation that he’s brought upon. The line is powerful. The line is a ‘gut punch’ to the viewer’s emotions. The lines of this show are so iconic and are landmarks of the show where so much emotion has taken place. That line of Jesse’s is so particularly special and heartfelt because it represents the end of so much promise. It’s heartbreaking because of how the viewer remembers the two characters when they were potential partners in very illegal crime. Jesse’s gone from being an angry young man to a disenchanted young man who’s given up hope on his partner and his ‘teacher’. The line ‘Too late’ doesn’t necessarily refer to time in the sense that Walter’s ‘too late’ for something. Rather, he’s crossed so many lines that there’s no way he can go back.
