Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted July 27 Posted July 27 My Dress up darling was just awesome again yesterday. I love the other students reactions to Gojo-kun. Quote

Seto Kaiba Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Catching up on a bunch of titles this week... finally got to My Dress-Up Darling S2. I'm vexed beyond words that it took so long to get a season two for My Dress-Up Darling. That one was so popular it's flat astonishing it didn't get green-lit immediately. My group (re)watched the entire first season before starting the second, and had a great time with it. Betrothed to My Sister's Ex had another good one this week, it seems our protagonist is finally coming around to realizing that being treated the way her family treated her is nothing remotely approaching "normal" never mind "healthy". Spoiler Oddly, they seem to be set to veer into horror territory with the apparent claim that Marie's deceased older sister Anastasia has somehow come home. Next episode's teaser looks like we're just straight up doing Psycho with the Shaderan family meticulously grooming and dressing the deceased daughter's corpse. Secrets of the Silent Witch also had another good episode, with Monica dealing with the practical etiquette classes and predictably freaking out over such niceties as tea parties and formal dances.

Seto Kaiba Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Ruri Rocks continues to be excellent edutainment. IMO, it's great that it's not just gushing about mineralogy. The series frequently delves into the geology behind the formation of the minerals du jour and the scientific method(s) used to identify them and track samples back to a larger vein or deposit. Most importantly, it shows the pitfalls of taking shortcuts, using sloppy or improper methodology, and making assumptions and shows that even the experts can be wrong if they draw conclusions without all the facts. It's not just Ruri being on the receiving end of a lecture, she's actively involved and learning and making worthwhile contributions in her own right by thinking outside the box. (It's kind of making me miss Mythbusters, in a way... particularly in the sense that there's nothing wrong with being wrong as long as you're applying the scientific method and applying what you learn to refine your hypothesis.)

Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Wow, My Dress Up Darling was great yesterday. This show is my favorite this season. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted Saturday at 07:33 PM Posted Saturday at 07:33 PM My weekly watch group is going back through Tenchi Muyo!'s OVA timeline, since most of our group hasn't seen OVA 4, OVA 5, or Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari. We just finished OVA 2 last night, and having translated a bunch of Kajishima's doujins and infobooks about the setting it's extra-freaking weird watching it knowing how all the charactes are related and how many tie-ins there are to Dual!, Photon: the Idiot Adventures, and Spaceship Agga Ruter. The Summer '25 simulcast season really is just a steaming turd. So far, I've dropped: The Water Magician I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability New Saga (Dishonorable mention for being the most generic f***ing thing I've ever seen.) Welcome to the Outcast Restaurant Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer Lord of Mysteries Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse (Dishonorable mention for being a shameless f***ing ripoff of Re:Zero) Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter (The worst case of "sameface" this side of Gundam SEED and it feels like the creator belongs on a government watchlist over their prurient interest in tweens.) The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses Solo Camping for Two (I cannot imagine a worse attempt at a romance plot outside of a Hallmark movie.) Detectives These Days Are Crazy! (Because "comedy" is more than just making funny faces at the viewer several times an episode.) Hotel Inhumans Turkey! Time to Strike That's a new frigging record, by an enormous margin. Crunchyroll's simulcast season page is starting to feel like the front page of the Nintendo eShop. All shovelware all the time. The bar was already low thanks to the overabundance of isekai, but it seems like these studios are holding a ****ing limbo contest. I refuse to even start The Rising of the Shield Hero season 4 because I know it's set past the point where the light novel completely jumped the shark. Dandadan has gone from being fairly interesting to fairly dull as the cast continues to grow with more and more "quirky" characters being added. I'm kind of just showing up for Secrets of the Silent Witch, Ruri Rocks, and Betrothed to My Sister's Ex at this point. Quote
Duke Togo Posted Sunday at 09:16 PM Posted Sunday at 09:16 PM (edited) DAN DA DAN S2: this show is hit or miss with me. I want to like it more than I do. Clevatess S1: not caught up with this quite yet, but I am digging it so far. Gachiakatu S1: don't love the character designs, but Bones and Katsuyuki Konishi got me to check it out. Interesting so far. Kaiju No.8 S2: another show I want to like more than I do. I kinda want it to be more ridiculous than it is. Edited Sunday at 09:25 PM by Duke Togo Quote
