To Your Eternity S2 2

Nice to see that this series has seemingly gotten back on track after the final arc of the previous season. However, it does feel pretty aimless right now.

I'm surprised they are adapting Tsubame's christmas party. Honestly thought they were going to focused fully on Shirogane and Kaguya. I mean, technically they all happen at the same time but it'll interesting how they manage the pacing without it feeling off. A1 has a done a superb job adapting Kaguya, though, so I'll wait and see.

Bocchi - 4

This show just keeps getting better wtf.

The part where they talk about how it's better to write about what you care about rather than trying to write something with mass appeal felt pretty meta too. Just as was said, this probably isn't going to be a show that will work for everyone, but for those that can connect with it it's really, really good.

It's fun to go back after watching this episode and realizing that Bocchi wrote the lyrics for the OP and ED (with Kita naturally providing the vocals).

The ED is especially funny because the music and lyrics don't match at all, which is that contrast they were talking about. Also isn't lost on me that the OP is called Youth Complex (the type of music and lyrics Bocchi was trying to avoid) but sounds more serious than it implies. And its also a banger.

Also, dunno why CR didn't bother to translate "seishun" in the subs and left it as is.

Bocchi - 4
For such a stacked season, this is such a surprise and may as well end up being the AOTS for me. Sorry CSM, Chainsaw Devil has nothing on Anxiety and Depression Devil.

Just checked out Arknights. For it being a gacha game anime adaptation it actually was better than what I expected, there were some pretty well directed shots and animation was nice. Made me curious about the game tbh so I guess it did its job well lol

I hope the anime do well enough for them to at least adapt the entire first arc. The latter part of the arc is really good.

To Your Eternity Season 2 1

And we're back to the curious case of Fushi. I was expecting this season to be a clean restart, so I was surprised to find it reach into Season 1 so much. Not a fan of the idea of a 9 year old leading a politico-religious faction (or having an authoritative role in it at least), so that was jarring throughout the episode.

I do however very much like where we're going with the idea of Fushi himself being the battleground that his 'guardians' and their opposers are fighting over. I feel like For Your Eternity's premise could make for an incredible role-playing game.


The Tatami Time Machine Blues 5, 6

Hilariously complex loop that's been resolved and they somehow snuck in an optimistic message too. Yeah, I liked this one better than Everyone Everywhere All at Once, deal with it.

The extra episode was also excellent, in particular with the train club shenanigans.

Anime of the Year for me for now.

18 episode into JBA Part 4 Diamond Is Unbreakable.

I think what I love the most is how "low stake" this part is compared to previous Part. There aren't even really big bad like DIO or Kars halfway through the show.

It feels more like collection of various stories involving Stand that happen in a single city rather than one big overarching plot.

Some episodes literally slice-of-life.

Also this Part had to be the one that inspire modern Persona games, right ? 🤣

Chainsaw Man EP 2 & 3

Good. I'm not super impressed with these two.. I remember the manga panel for 'I wanna cop a feel' being much more impactful. The setup was perfect but in the anime I thought it lacked punch. I wonder what my normie friend thinks of these, as he was impressed by the first ep.

Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory EP 1 & 2

It's more of that Gundam Universal Century goodness? It picks up where my memory left the series with the 'Asteroid Drop'. ZZ Gundam was a slog I think, but the setup for this conflict is great for now.

a series with romance where the two characters in love openly live out their love, kiss, have sex and talk about their future is pretty damn rare, so i am all for it
usually series like this are harem trash or weird "will they wont they" crap

Speaking of Gundam, Zeta is still only on the funimation app it seems. I wonder if it will go over to Crunchyroll at some point?

I watched some of it years ago when it was put on the Gundam Info youtube channel, but they took it down before I finished it, I'd like to return to it sometime.

Mio, it's all good. You have Sou and Tokiko who are in love with you. Pick someone who is 1) available and 2) doesn't consider you his younger sister.

No longer the "internet's most trusted" now that Kadokawa (shaken with corruption up top) owns them. Also conflict of interest there too.

Yeah, there's no way Noa could ever join the JSDF. She has terrible aim and she hates destroying Labors. Also her boyfriend is in the same unit as her.

Patlabor 46
I don't always understand Noa's motivations and actions and I think that's OK. She struggles throughout the series with change, particularly anything that might even slightly threaten Alphonse. We find out originally Alphonse was her pet dog, then cat and more her labour. It's been a very subtle and slow build up of her character throughout the series run but Noa's struggles with letting go and change seem to be coming to the forefront in these final episodes. I'm just glad Division 1 finally got their upgrades, they deserve it.

Patlabor 47 END
Some really beautiful shots in these last 2 episodes and some really great character scenes. Noa is finally maturing and ready to accept Alphonse's role as a labour. This was a fantastic series and I really enjoyed it. I'm going to miss Division 2, they're a fun bunch of characters.

Super Dimension Fortress Macross 1
Macross has been on my watch list for something like 10 years. I've always been attracted to this series despite knowing almost nothing about it. The first episode was pretty good! Interesting premise of humanity discovering a crashed alien war ship and having their technology evolve astronomically over the course of 10 years. Unfortunately, the ship is also rigged to fire a signal at first contact with its original fleet. So Earth has suddenly found themselves plunged into a conflict with aliens that they really were not ready for. I'm actually kind of hyped for this, I'm really curious about where this series will go.

MSG The 08th MS Team 1
Gundam.info put this up and I'm jumping at the chance to watch it. Great atmosphere in the first episode although I'm considerably cautious about our female Zeon pilot. Gundam and female pilots is 9/10 a recipe for disaster (G-Witch our feminine hopes are riding on you). Also some titties flashed across the screen in the preview so no more watching in front of the family I guess 😅

Heh, that's a good way to put it.

Honestly, as amazing as that fight was animated, I plainly don't care for it and some others. The Chainsaw "power" of Denji is rather lame as far as I'm concerned. No surprise sick parkour skills come packaged alongside or else there'd be nothing there. How much damage his body can endure and whether he wins entirely depends on what the plot asks for. Now, there's still no shortage of cool setups, if nothing else for the sheer number of (somewhat) creative powers, but the fighting itself is basically always an afterthought. Which, I guess is in part the point when the titular hero simply grows chainsaws out of his head and arms.

Well, this random-ass Leech Devil was hardly an exciting enemy anyway. And I knew the outcome. So, meh.

But 'tis all good when the low-key slice-of-life moments get animated just as excellently. They gladly could've shaved off 2 mins from the Leech Devil for more of that, if anyone asks me.

While I'm sure Mappa will add a lot of style, the fights are not really the draw of Chainsawman, so yeah, I get that.
