Just finished watching End of Evangelion now. Which definitely broke my brain again.
It's nice to have a more 'clear' ending. Although I'm still completely lost in regards to what I just witnessed and what it should mean. I've got feelings about it, but I couldn't explain it with words if I had to.
I secretly liked the TV ending a bit more. Although completely confusing it felt inspired as heck and utterly captivating. The movie felt like someone took over from the original creator, ran with some similar ideas and concepts, and above all tried to be weird and added some unnecessary 'shock value' such as the vagina face hole, etc.
Edit: What is the Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy? And should I watch it?
Edit #2: Oh that seems like it's a remake of the original series. Don't think I'll be watching that since I don't like that new stye of animation.

I just finished Daily Lives Of High School Boys and I'm so sad that there's only one season. I'm such a sucker of comedy anime. Lucky Star, Gintama, DLOHSB etc.
It started as a remake but very quickly starts going in a completely different direction. The last part should be out this year or next, so nobody really knows how different the ending will be this time.
Interesting. I'll watch it in the future. Maybe when the last part is released. My brain has been messed with enough for now.
Haikyuu confirmed to be 25 episodes
Yeah it's a show that words can't make it justice. The movie is definitely a little less optimistic than the show ending, I like to think of them as sort of two sides of the same coin though.

All the big moments in this arc have just fell flat for me.
High Q OVA and new season
Look at all these jobber teams plus the cat boys
Training arc is meh enough but at least it breaks the pacing from just having matchs all the time.
Vinland Saga
Lol at some of the exposition "hello fellow viking let me explain to you how vikings work"

it should be noted that the article confirms something I thought I read at some point that it will be a split season.
first 13 eps this season and then the last 12 in the summer.
Haikyuu Ovas and S4E1
It was cool to see more of Nekoma and Fukuroudani, for the first episode itself I like how they built Hinata hubris and determination. He thinking he is at Kageyama or even Tsukki level and then being brought down to earth and the subsequent invasion of the training provided a good punchline but it is his relationship with the trainer of Shiratorizawa that makes the episode, it quickly goes from a fun opunchline to major moment that Hinata needs to prove himself. He being the ball boy is also important because, if I remember correctly, it was what that trainer function when he tried to play volley as a kid.

The new Harley Quinn series exists and is an actually funny adult comedy series unlike this one joke affair.

Enjoy the ride! I remember discovering the series almost ten years ago and bingeing both all of Gundam and Zeta in a single long weekend.trying to watch all the gundams this year. this is blowing my mind right now.

Not sure it's a good idea to be talking about your forgotten past and Baby Kyubey to to Kyubey Iroha. That thing takes advantage of everything. Feels like Ui wished to be forgotten, since I don't see how wishing for her disease to be cured links to her disappearance. Also feels a little weird that Ui went to a hospital in a different city, but maybe it was the closest place with a treatment. Of the new trio, Momoko is cool, Rena is a petty jerk, and Kaede is an idiot. They'll be fun to follow. The Chain Monster rumor is really specific. How does that even start? Really like that there's a counseling center/hospital for magical girls. Overall more setup than anything else, but still interesting setup.

Nekopara made me extremely uncomfortable. No thank you, return that to the kitchen.
But Bofuri was really fun. I think my favorite part is how imbalanced the game mechanics happen to be - I hope the characters eventually acknowledge it in some way.

I watched both the tv series and EoE when I was younger and thought that I "got it" until I had some discussions with friends and read up on some things. What was interesting was how annoyed I was with the characters watching it when I was younger (around the kids age) and then re-watching it when I was older. It was a really different experience, and I couldn't view it in the same way in that second re-watch, but it made way more sense. Not nearly as depressing as some made it to be.
But once you realize that
both the tv ending AND EoE actually happen at the same time, it makes a lot more sense. I think that's why people despise the tv ending so much. It's the mental angle of what's physically going on at the same time, which felt too anti-climatic (plus the fact that they were low budget at the time to end it proper...). I mentioned The End of Evangelion - Concurrency Project, because a fan tied all of the scenes together into one seamless, giant movie. Helps make sense to confused people with this, but just a great way to see it fit all together.
Fate/Grand Order Babylonia 13
Two Rins on screen at the same time was something that I didn't think I needed in life.

Quite enjoying this. Rena, Momoko and Kaede are neat characters and I'm glad this show is continuing its tradition of teenagers making terrible, terrible decisions at all times.
He was only in one scene and managed to be extra-punchable somehow. "I'm asking purely out of curiosity." Yes, I'm sure you were...

Well the music sure was epic. The fight was fine. chisiaki doesn't really do anything here except getting Idaho potato smashed.

Magica Side Story 2
That was a dark turn to such a childish fight. The trio were interesting with their dynamic, if unstable, relationship up to this point. Real interesting in what Rena's wish was considering her lack of friends striking such a nerve. The icons in the background during the food scene were also a neat touch, playing along with the creepy nature of the town.
Bofuri 1
Now this is what I call a real Shield Hero.

Yeah, that whole bullshit argument was definitely rage-inducing. Of course you know she's 1000% on the mark you trash pile.

22/7 ep1
Something felt off with this show and it all came ahead when the ladies of this 22/7 group meet a literal wall to get orders from. Basically it thinking it high concept when it could just stick to being simple.

The three trio is basically the three storages without gag and Reina is literally the worst one.

I was half expecting that we were going to start hearing the words "Ay ay ay ay... come on!"
So, what's hot this season? Instead of watching anything remotely relevant, I think I'm finally going to get around to that Spice and Wolf blu-ray I bought like 6 months ago and... I dunno, finally watch that "Kimetsu no Yaiba" all the kids are into these days.
If you want to see Hideaki Anno work out his feelings on the franchise he created while aggressively trolling the fanbase along the way, the rebuilds are worth watching. EVA 3.33 in particular is such a giant, prolonged middle finger of a film that I can't wait to see how that lunatic manages to follow it up.
Steins;Gate 0
Finished!
It wasn't as good as the original and it wasn't necessary, but it was still great and worth watching. It had highs that were as high as the highs in the original (it just didn't have as many of them). There was definitely more filler, anime shenanigans, and plot threads that went nowhere. But it didn't ruin the original in any way. If the original was an 11/10, this is a 9/10. Steins;Gate as a series is definitely one of my top anime series now.
Haven't watched the OVAs or the movie. Not too interested in them tbh. Maybe I'll look into them another time. I did have to watch 23B of course since that sets up S;G0.

To be honest this is where I'm at - everything from Mirio's fight with Overhaul to the final unveiling of
full cowl 100%
Thanks for some of these. I have a crunchy roll sub but it rarely has shows like these. Where can I watch them? I see funimation has some seasons of some on YouTube. But, I need something consistent.
Plunderer Episode 1 EngDub
Now that Im caught up on 18 Price is right episodes, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune ones, as well as Manifest, Evil, and Emergence, I can finally anime again....
Though this was going to be a respectable and well-intentioned anime but the pervy Ace is a bit unsettling as well as the femchars beating up on him. Disappointing. Whiny femLead isn't helping either.
That said the concept is pretty good and I love the Ace character so will continue to watch. Can definitely feel that this is a type of show Funi would get and it shows.

Myriad Colors Phantom World
So this show pretty much had the same problem I had with Beyond the Boundary, it really needed to be a bit longer to properly flesh out both the setting and characters, and in this case, needed an antagonist with a stronger presence beyond the meager 2 episodes they were in. Especially since those last two episodes were so much more engaging compared to the monster of the week stuff in all the others. Kind of surprised this didn't seem to get a movie like most other KyoAni shows, even Tamako Market managed to have one. Also had a lot more lewd moments than I expected from a KyoAni show.

Radiant Episode 11 and 12 EngDub
Feels like we've been in the same place for months, like will this season finally carry us to another land.
Seth breaking through the curse that afflicted him was great as well as the telepathy scenes, nice character growth.
