Ah, I remember that now.
I don't see this sort of phenomenon happening anymore, but maybe people just try to do it covertly. I just see dogs getting abandoned by the road. You'd think people get pets because they love them... |
Why own a pet for love when you can simply own them for some novel purpose like using them to fight or show them off then or illegally discard/abandon them when the situation merits it?

Either way, it shows how unsympathetic and uncaring these people actually are when they do it. I remember growing up, seeing a PSA about not abandoning your dogs simply because they've grown up and are no longer cute, so I have to wonder if a lot of cases stem from people buying puppies because they adore them but stopadoring them when they get bigger and uglier. It's incredibly shallow.
I'm sure there must be cases where people get pets and don't realize how much time and energy it takes to take care of them and are ashamed of bringing them over to a pound or an animal shelter (or cannot because shelters are completely overloaded).

Oh there's most definitely more than a few cases like that not only for the people who own the typical cat or dog but also for those who somehow think that alligators, pythons, lions etc make for ideal pets never mind how considerably more high maintenance and more dangerous these animals are. People in general just don't bother to take into consideration that like having a child owning a pet is a big commitment that's not to be taken lightly or as a novelty.

Yukako is like the love child of Yuno from Future Dairy and Sunny from Toriko: A crazy bitch with super strong hair.

wohoo, there has been a shortage of quality yanderes recently, and this one is extra creepy heh. What's funny is how everyone immediately caught on to her in like the first 5 minutes of the episode, they didn't even bother trying to make her seem like some normal girl in love heh

It's become that friendly face that greets you at the beginning of each episode, which is what the best openings tend to do, in my opinion. I wish I knew music terminology better to critique this new version, but I guess it's dance-ier? More electronic? Hard to say exactly why we're getting this in the middle of the season (unless it really is to mark the Yukako-shaped occasion) but nothing can beat the big band original. |
That seems to be the correct impression, as the new op is referred to as the EDM version which stands for Electronic Dance Music. The question of why and how it compares to the original are each separate questions.

Episode 8
| Quote: | | Yukako kidnaps him and tries to provide for him in the comfort of her own home. |
Well, someone else's home, actually. Which kinda makes her chastising him for being a cheater and a shoplifter (and all those other nasty rumors) just a tad hypocritical.

Except that she was created way earlier than both of them

She reminds me of that crazy lady from Hunter X Hunter who liked Gon.

I hope they go back to the original. IMO, this version was very dull compared to the original.

If you ever feel that any JoJo thing kinda resembles something Togashi used, you're almost always in the right track.

Ohhh I love Yukako a lot already. She's got that classic touch of "obsessed admirer" like Annie Wilkes from Misery. And more Okuyasu is always nice. Really enjoyed the episode.

Something I don't understand (or maybe it's something I missed...?): Yukako's second quiz question to Koichi, regarding how a particular Japanese word is spelled--what does that have to do with English?

Because he'd have to know what the English word meant in order to choose the correct kanji for the corresponding Japanese. Those were all Japanese homophones, but only one means the same as the English word. Of course, since he didn't know the kanji for the taishou she wanted, he still got in trouble. 
The correct answer was
A = symmetry
B = target
C = contrast
