How can you say that? This show is the best thing since sliced bread!

 

Ha yeah, I love Villainess myself but understand it might not be everyone's cup of tea. The MC is amazing though - so, so oblivious yet great at the same time

Finished Horimiya - really enjoyed it though I hear they skipped a lot from the manga.  Also finished Wonder Egg Priority - liked this series a lot but the ending felt incomplete or unfulfilling to me.

Somehow I am back re-watching My Next Life as a Villainess from a few seasons back; its nothing earth shattering but it is such a silly feel good show.

I kinda want to give them some points for trying something different with Lex, but wow he did not work in the part at all

Jujutsu Kaisen - liking this more than I thought I would though pacing is a bit strange

Slime S2 - meh, but I kinda knew that going in - finally some major events occurred in the latest 

Horimiya - like this quite a lot looks very nice

Quintups S2 - enjoying it. Nice visuals/animation

Wonder Egg Priority - interesting story and very curious as to where it goes

Recently catching up on some shows that I missed

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku - enjoying this, amazed that there is a Macross Frontier reference in Ep4

RE: Creators - animation is very nice but having some issues getting into it. Reverse Isekai premise at least is a little spin that is interesting

No Guns Life - season 1, liking it so far

Astra Lost in Space - really want a space/sci-fi series to get into but so far this is not really doing it for me. Its ok...

APPARE-RANMAN! - again really nice animation but so far not super engaging to me but only on ep 2

From this season:

Uzaki-chan wants to hang out - enjoying it somewhat, really slow show but has its funny moments

Deca-dence - enjoying it, definitely a different spin on what you think this is going to be from ep1 and I like that change-up from standard formula

RE:ZERO - watched the 1st ep of season 2 and I am holding off till the whole season is out - it just seems like it is amazing and I hate waiting for eps to come out, rather watch em all on my own schedule (which if it is as good as this may be all in one sitting....)

dammit that is just horrible news - screw 2020 - RIP 

As Tangled thorns notes get a colonoscopy sooner rather than later it is not that bad.

Wish I had gotten mine early - was slated to get my 1st at 50 but got sick at 47 - but still I got "lucky" and only stage II and still sucking air after surgery and chemo....

that advert is amazing - captures both the awesomeness of the statue and the deep deep crap you are gonna be in when the SO sees the charge on the credit card. Not sure thats what they were going for but all it needs is a speech balloon saying "YOU PAID WHAT!!!!!"

It is very rare to have a show with that kind of focus and themes with almost no fanservice. Very entertaining in an otherwise muted anime season.

Agreed - this is a surprisingly enjoyable show with a lot of feel-good vibes for me

Also watching Kayuga-Sama season 2 and really enjoying that.

Sing Yesterday to Me: ok for the most part, very melancholy though

Tower of God; ok but not super into it for some reason

Dorohedoro; loved this, very unusual and bloody though, needs more episodes

Also known as Hamefura.

The main character is such a derp, manages to act half the age of everyone else, despite having "lived" twice as long. It's great.

Whelp tried the first three eps and now another series goes on the must watch list - thought i was getting burned out on isekai but here we are. 

on episode four of Dorehedoro - wow good stuff so far

I finished it and overall liked it. Thoughts:

• 2d half (after defeating Patrick Huge) had better story and felt more like the older series
• the new characters were a total waste IMHO not sure why they bothered
• on that note the new female character in the 2nd half was extremely irritating. They can totally lose her if they continue this.
• animation still somewhat bothered me - the faces mostly I think. I fear most of the CGI budget was spent designing the major's rear end and walking away from the camera animation

Gleipnir is the best trash.

surprisingly good time so far

Watched through the first half - despite initially being really put off by the CGI I got used to it fairly quick. It does have this weird almost "Toy Story" animation feel at times.

Eps 5 and 6 were pretty cool - yeah naked guy backflips (Patrick Huge - I think that is my new porn star name) out of context is hilarious, but in that scene I found him extremely unnerving. Also after being strangely bloodless through the first four eps it flipped the table and went the other way. Again another oddity but not a show stopper.

Out of curiosity you didn't watch Dragon's Heaven because a random recommendation popped up on your youtube feed with a guy reviewing it and comparing it to scifi artist Mobius' work did you?

Ha yep - checking my history it was:

If Moebius Made Anime

Just watched Dragon's Heaven from 1988 - wow pretty interesting though short and not a whole lot of story there

Continuing Haikyu and enjoying it, though at one point I somehow jumped from season 1 ep 17 or so to season 3 some episode and I didn't even realize it till half way through. Them volleyball matches starting to look mighty similar....

Yeah LDR I enjoyed a ton.

Sick today and not moving around much so on a whim started Haikyu!! To the Top - not typically into sports based anime at all so have ignored it for ages - but got right into it and through ep 11 today, good stuff.

Its a hard call - I would be up for a remake/reboot with modern top notch animation but personally I would want the iconic mech designs, uniforms and general look of the characters to remain the same. My worry if they did a remake they would redesign everything and screw it all the hell up.....

made the mistake of watching some Blood-C - it did not improve my sleeping last night wow....

watching some stuff that I had ignored or passed on when released:

Puella Magi Madoka Magica series and third movie - liked very much. Great imagery. I feel like some mind altering substances were consumed in the production (and may have enhanced further the viewing of)

Lovely Complex - good stuff, maybe could have been a few episodes shorter

Orange - enjoying, only at ep 7

Your Lie in April - very pretty, was OK

Date a Live - three eps into this one, not my typical cup of tea but nice looking so we will see

Loved it.

Zima Blue was my favorite because it had such a great message that I think most people (most people being unhappy) need to understand. That message being that all the trappings of what is considered contemporary success (lots of money, travel, power, possessions, fame, etc) may not be the building blocks of happiness. Maybe true happiness is the lack of those things. Or somewhere on the scale between them. IMO closer to the "lack of things" end of the spectrum is where happiness lies.

Though initially the animation style on the people seemed a bit weird to me I would agree Zima Blue was a very good and epic segment that I now want to go back and re-watch a third time

what the frak is going on with the proportions on these? Those feet are hilarious....

 

yeah you can do some fairly great stuff with the Photon and Mars printers and they are cheap for the quality but bear in mind the print area is not huge. They are amazing though if you are into miniature games and such or are ok to print larger things in smaller chunks. Just might want to review a youtoob video or two to see the process and understand some of the negatives (the smell, the mess, liquid resin toxicity, etc)

Interviews I recall as being quite enjoyable

Watching Ascendance of a Bookworm - wow different take on an Isekai - liking it though, so cute

Watched Beastars - I think I liked it... still trying to process lol

wow that Yamato build is crazy cool - starting to really regret not getting in on that
