Seto Kaiba Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) The Jack-of-all-Trades Who Was Kicked Out of The Hero's Party ~ A Swordsman Who Worked as an Enchanter Due to Party Circumstances Rises to Become a Master of All Trades F*** me that's a title. I can see why the localization team wanted to abbreviate it to Jack of All Trades, Party of None. This is one for the "Another Bloody" file. As in, "it's another bloody isekai adjacent j-fantasy series about an adventurer who is kicked from the Hero's party of total arseholes for being Not Good Enough and discovers he's actually amazing". Like, this is almost exactly the same series as The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become The Strongest just with a slightly different art style. This ground is so thoroughly well-trodden at this point it's legally an eight-line interstate highway. Spoiler The introduction is pretty much a form letter. The one noteworthy minor deviation from the usual is that the Hero is the only one NOT being a dick about it. He's trying to keep things professional and explain the practical need for a dedicated support mage, and it's the rest of the party who are being high-and-mighty jerks about how he's "only" really good at a lot of things instead of being great at one thing. Then it's straight back to formula with the protag soloing a dungeon and rescuing a girl who's been abandoned by her party so he has someone to monologue about how he's totally awesome while he fights. It's not an isekai series, but the world is inexplicably organized around terminology borrowed from MMORPGs. Definitely seems like it's going to be a skip-worthy snoozefest with nothing to show for itself. Edited January 2 by Seto Kaiba Quote

Seto Kaiba Posted January 5 Posted January 5 A few more of this season's new simulcasts have dropped. The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer is... well, on paper it's allegedly a comedy. I say allegedly because it's not actually funny. Not even slightly. The series is set in an alternate Japan where torture and murder are not only legal, but a form of private enterprise. The protagonist Cero is a 20-something former job-hopper with more than fifty different part-time jobs under his belt who has settled comfortably into his new chosen vocation of torturer at a torture firm named Spirytus Company and is living his daily life wringing confessions out of a variety of ne'er do wells, criminals, and the like through force with his coworkers, whip-enthusiast Siu, horror author Mikke, and a man named Hugh who is simply Too Pretty to work with others. It's billed as a comedy, but nothing about it is funny unless you count the absurdity of the setting treating torture like it belongs to the same basic class of manual labor as hospitality, restaurant food prep, or construction. (To the extent that a torture hardware supply store has a loyalty card like a Japanese supermarket.) Nothing about it is funny, though, and the characters aren't engaging enough for it to pass for a slice-of-life story either. It doesn't even manage to feel inappropriate. The subject matter's transgressive as all get-out but it's so bland that it doesn't feel like it. It's just dull. I don't think I could recommend it, even as a form of torture. Kunon the Sorcerer Can See is a fantasy slice-of-life series about the son of a marquis who is born with a heredity disability called the Hero's Scar because he is a descendant of The Hero who was terribly maimed defeating The Demon Lord. In his case, he was born blind. He's terribly depressed about this because it means that he really can't do anything and requires constant care from others. Then, a faux pas on the part of his magic tutor gives him an idea... he decides to study magic in the hopes of being able to create new eyes for himself. It has an interesting premise and got off to a promising start, but it quickly becomes apparent that the story doesn't really know what to do with its own premise and it's padded like a menstruating fire hydrant. The protagonist's more of a one-trick magical pony than Harry Potter (the only spell he knows creates a ball of water) and yet he is treated as some kind of godlike magical prodigy. Somehow this very basic magic all but eliminates several aspects of his disability, and by the end of the second episode he's not only able to discern colors, he's able to read and is attending the now obligatory-in-j-fantasy School for the Nobility. Past about the halfway point in the first episode the series feels really lazy and uninspired... veering straight into "boring" territory by the first episode's end. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted January 5 Posted January 5 In the actually-worth-watching category, we've got the apparently VERY long-awaited anime adaptation of Hanazakari no Kimitachi e... more than twenty-one years after the original manga ended circulation, and almost 30 years after it started serialization in Hana to Yume back in 1996. Gave the first two episodes a whirl. It's definitely a high-quality adaptation with a lot of very experienced voice actors behind it. It does have a weird vibe to it, though... I think because the story was written back in the 90's it feels slightly odd and out of place even with modern animation behind it. Not bad, just... different. Still fun, still well-executed. I'm looking forward to more. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Wash It All Away started and it was a cute 1st episode. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Two more new ones today... You Can't Be In a Rom-Com with Your Childhood Friends! is about a first year high school student named Yonosuke who is obsessed with rom-coms where the protagonist falls in love with their childhood friend. That old and overused story trope. Of course, he is also realistic/cynical enough to understand that romance comedies are fiction and doesn't believe he could ever encounter such a circumstance in real life. Because he is IN a rom-com, he's also entertainingly wrong. Both of his female childhood friends have the hots for him and he either has suffered so much rom-com brainrot or is so uninterested that he hasn't noticed. By 1:05 into the first episode, it's pretty clear what we're in for is another one of those ecchi excuse plot harem comedies where the driving force of the plot and the only things that keep the story from ending at chapter one are the protagonist's Buddha-esque aversion to desire, his chronic inability to read even the most blatant signals imaginable, and a total failure to comprehend how abnormal his situation is despite abundant evidence. Spoiler "No girl would be interested in me!" says the guy whose female childhood friend makes a regular habit of slipping into his bedroom through the window to sleep with him. By 4:10, this series has lost me. This excuse plot is painfully thin even by the already-low standards of the genre. I'm not even going to bother finishing the episode. and deleting it from my watch history. SKIP. Wash It All Away is a slice-of-life series about an amnesiac girl named Wakana Kinme who runs a private laundry service in a quaint seaside town as she navigates daily life. This seems to be one of those titles that either has some clear creator provincialism or government sponsorship behind it, given that the first couple shots of the series are devoted to faithfully recreating real locations. Enough so that we can practically identify what street her fictional business is on. We see her pass through several Tawarahoncho landmarks like Atami station and pass through Atami Heiwa-dori shopping street on her way back to her small business, suggesting she's probably in Sakimicho, Atami, Shizuoka. It's cute, but so far there doesn't seem to be a lot to this one besides the incidental events of the slow daily life of a girl who just really likes doing laundry. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted January 6 Posted January 6 The Demon King's Daughter Is Too Kind!! started today, It has got to be the cutest thing I have watched in a long time, Doux is too precious. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Tried two more new ones today. I was hoping for something unconventional, and Isekai Office Worker: the Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter seems to be set to fit that bill. Its basic premise seems to be very similar to titles like The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent, with a general j-fantasy alternate world that's under threat from periodic outbreaks evil miasma™️ that only the chosen isekai'd Lady Saint™️ can clean up with her magical powers. Where it differs is that it's about a random office worker who is accidentally isekai'd along with the future Lady Saint while trying to save her from being isekai'd. He's so used to Japan's toxic work ethic that, despite being told the kingdom will give him a generous stipend to live on as an apology for being isekai'd by mistake, he demands a job. So the kingdom sets him to work in its government accounting office, where he is immediately stunned by its relaxed work ethic... then finds its lax practices have been allowing all kinds of questionable accounting that he tries to crack down on just as the miasma sends the kingdom into a state of emergency. It's... unusual. I'm curious to see where it goes. The Case Book of Arne is, most unusually, apparently an adaptation of a freeware horror mystery video game made in RPG Maker and released back in 2017. Apparently it garnered enough of a following to be adapted into a manga in 2018, and now an anime. On paper, it's a supernatural detective story about a vampire who works as a Sherlock Holmes-style private detective solving crimes with supernatural origins that the conventional authorities just can't. I'm going to withhold judgement on this series until I've seen at least another episode or two, because the first episode is so badly composed that calling it a mystery or a detective story feels like Blatant Lies or at least false advertising. Spoiler For some reason, the whole first episode revolves around a decoy protagonist... the son of a murdered detective... who despite living in a world where things like vampires and witches and ghosts are all very much real suffers a crippling case of Arbitrary Skepticism and ends up being Right For The Wrong Reasons in what feels like a massive arse pull. Spoiler Said kid's father is mutilated, murdered, and drained of blood in a physically impossible manner by a serial killer the locals call the Grave-Digging Vampire and he is absolutely convinced Vampires Do Not Exist, so he sets out to find the real killer himself despite being all of like nine years old. Honestly, he's so stupid about it that you can't even feel bad for him. Putting aside that he denies the existence of the supernatural while talking to a vampire within earshot of a zombie, he never once seems to consider that the killer's MO is physically impossible. The killer is abducting adults and exsanguinating them by wringing their bodies out like a wet washcloth. He also never seems to even consider that such a feat is also impossible for his suspect (a decidedly unmuscular innkeeper's wife), or that the chances of confronting someone who can do that to a full-grown man as a child and living to tell the tale are 0%. So he runs off to confront his suspect alone, she gives a full and boastful confession and reveals that she's a witch who's been using stone golems to commit the crimes and one of her golems immediately kills him by punching a basketball-sized hole clean through his abdomen DIO/Akaza style. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I started Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord: Production Magic Turns a Nameless Village into the Strongest Fortified City. Nothing about it seems original. I am not sure I will stick with it. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Sentenced to be a Hero Eps 1 was what OPM season 2 and 3 wished it was. I'm following this series now. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Chained Soldier Season 2 started, It was good return. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted January 9 Posted January 9 OK, lots more shows dropping now. The third season of MF Ghost has begun in earnest. The eurobeat's back with the OP Timeless Power... but is it really necessary to show the chubby race queen getting hit in the face with a packaged ham in the OP? They're finally starting to wrap up the plot they left hanging at the end of season two with an injured Katagiri who couldn't use 2nd gear falling way behind. They're really dragging this race out though, yeesh. It was 2-3 episodes last season and it's gonna be at least 3 this season too. Tamon's B-Side... jeez this girl Utage is thirsty AF. She's taken the "fangirl turns her room into a shrine" thing to the point of even having a poster of the titular idol on the ceiling over her bed. Honestly, it's part of what makes the comedy work. She's so absolutely obsessed with this idol that she refuses to reject him for being a real person with real problems and manages to come off as a bit of a heroic comedic sociopath while she's helping him because she can't bear to see him fail. It's cute, it's funny, and it's on the unconventional side. I quite like it. One new one I picked up is Champignon Witch, a light fantasy series about a feared and shunned, but generally harmless and well-meaning, young witch who makes a living brewing medicines for nearby towns and generally helping people. The people of the kingdom are wary or afraid of her because her magic causes poisonous mushrooms to spring up in her wake wherever she walks, which is also the reason for her unusual nickname "the Champignon Witch". Apparently there's some fantastic bigotry involved with the kingdom she's in being ruled by one faction or species of witches and her belonging to the other. Spoiler Apparently there are actual legitimate reasons people avoid her... since the mushrooms she spontaneously calls into existence are poisonous because they absorb dangerous toxic energy from the environment (e.g. the fear and hatred of a public execution site), and because normal people can't even touch her without dying. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Hell Mode started today. It seems to be a typical isekai. But maybe it will surprise me. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Started A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation. It's an isekai series, but it's one of those rare ones that tries to subvert the usual formula by having its protagonist get isekai'd from one fantasy world to another. In this case, a young and sheltered nobleman finds himself suddenly transported to another world and rather than make a fuss about it by panicking he opts to take the whole thing in stride and treat it as an extended vacation. First impressions are that it's actually pretty dull. It's definitely different... but the protagonist is so utterly unbothered by every aspect of his predicament that it feels like he's on something. He greets being dumped in an alley in an unfamiliar country or having someone try to lop his head off with the same energy that a normal person might reserve for informing their waiter that a drink they ordered didn't make it onto the check. Hard to get invested in the protagonist's story when they don't feel like they're invested in their own story! The Invisible Man and His Soon-To-Be Wife is a supernatural romcom about a blind woman named Shizuka who works as a receptionist at the Tounome Private Detective Agency. Her employer, detective Tounome, is a literal invisible man (ala the H.G. Wells novel) who is utterly fascinated by her ability to perceive him where normal people cannot. So they start up an odd relationship together as a blind woman and unseeable man. The setting seems... a bit odd. Mostly like the modern world, though there seem to be various flavors of beast-folk (running the gamut from "human with animal ears" to furry mascot). One set of clients that show up at the Tounome agency profess to be literal space aliens. It's mostly just a framing device for a cute but straightforward romcom. It's very light and cheerful. Almost to slice-of-life levels. Definitely one for the "easy viewing" category, if you're looking to clear your palate after something heavy. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted January 10 Posted January 10 More new season stuff... Jujutsu Kaisen's third season has started, picking up where the last one ended with the start of the Culling Game arc. The part where the original manga began seriously inflicting darkness-induced audience apathy on casual readers. It's a tournament arc, and IMO a bit of a pointless one since its villain's ambiguous goal being little more than "for the lulz" and it only really serves to put off the final confrontation with the story's big bad (Sukuna) by putting two dozen or so cannon fodder characters in the way so what's left of the main cast can farm them for powerups. Quote
kajnrig Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Caught up on Demon Slayer. Mild spoilers, mostly tagging for a wall of text: Spoiler Still pretty enjoyable, though blitzing through it, you get pretty tired of its formula. I found myself skipping through good and bad guy backstories alike. Some of them, if necessary, could have been told in much more interesting ways; and others just aren't necessary at all and would have benefited the story to omit or, at most, be just teased at. My brother keeps trying to hype up Zenitsu, and the character just isn't working for me. His personality sucks, his sleeping gimmick sucks, his story sucks, his power... doesn't suck but is wasted on him. His "growth" throughout the entire series being that he seems to have finally married the two sides of his persona right at the climax would be fine and great if it didn't also happen arbitrarily and without any (literal and figurative) conscious effort. I think I would buy it a bit more if he just demonstrated the slightest bit of agency. He is the way he is because the story needs him to be that way, is how it feels to me. The Hashira training arc sucks. I think it could have worked if just structured differently. The story felt compelled to inject Tanjiro into every bit of the goings-on when really it wanted and should have become a true ensemble piece, hopping to and from characters in order to explore the Demon Slayer Corps as a whole. Interesting dynamics, interesting parallels and contrasts, etc. One element that elevated the Entertainment District arc for me was the two demons being a narrative foil for Tanjiro and Nezuko, and although the story kind of dampened my enthusiasm a bit when it almost literally pointed it out and did actually spell out the comparison, more things like that still would have been welcome during that arc The story seemed to forget that there were compelling characters worth following besides Tanjiro. I'd have liked to see more time spent with Inosuke, Nezuko, Shinobu and Tamayo, etc. (Or yes, even Zenitsu, if only to perform some much-needed character damage control.) Follow up with more of Inosuke being "tsundere-ly domesticated." Depict a day in the life of Nezuko: her struggle against her new demonic nature and/or the kind of fraked up morality of hypnotizing her to see her dead family everywhere and/or the why and how of her mentally regressing into a child and slowly coming back from it. What is it like for Shinobu working with a "sworn enemy" in an area of mutual expertise and affection? And so on. Which sounds kind of hypocritical. In my earlier post I said that I appreciated the show essentially not stopping to smell the flowers, and yet here I am now complaining about it not stopping to smell the flowers. Except this was the season for exactly that, and instead it meandered and fumbled its way through... this. More than anything, what bothers me about it is that it feels exceedingly clumsily planned and hastily trotted out, and I can only speculate as to why when the manga was already finished and they (ufotable) could have made any number of adapting decisions, including not adapting this arc at all and opting for something original and/or better. But blah. It eventually finds its way back on track, and it's been a fun ride overall. Here's hoping the finale trilogy movies meet expectations. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted January 11 Posted January 11 5 hours ago, kajnrig said: But blah. It eventually finds its way back on track, and it's been a fun ride overall. Here's hoping the finale trilogy movies meet expectations. The first Infinity Castle movie is gorgeously animated... but because it follows exactly the same format as the TV series despite being a 155 minute movie the flashbacks REALLY REALLY drag on. Like, I remember I did not check the length of the film before going to see it at my local theater and was absolutely flabbergasted that the film was still going and still aggressively flashback-ing at the two hour mark. Caught another episode of The Daily Life of the Part-Time Torturer over lunch today. Its outrageous premise is no more than superficial so far and it's really just a "my daily life with my quirky coworkers" slice-of-life title. The vast majority of the physical business is offscreen or implied so the "torture" part is mostly just refuge in audacity for an office setting, since the characters don't really treat their work with any more gravitas than might normally be reserved for an afternoon spent shucking clams. It's not really bad... it's just... why? Why is this a thing? If you changed their occupation to rubbing grease on weasels it would be exactly the same story. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted Sunday at 08:20 PM Posted Sunday at 08:20 PM Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling started yesterday. I thought it was a fun 1st episode. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted Sunday at 09:27 PM Posted Sunday at 09:27 PM The third episode of Kunon the Sorcerer Can See dropped today. The first two episodes definitely didn't make a good impression and the series definitely started as it meant to go on. Partway through the third episode, I had to pause when I finally found the words to articulate why this series feels wrong. It's not just that the story is a badly written mess barely paying lip service to its own central premise. The combination of its directionless-feeling story and wildly uneven pacing makes it feel like the series is rushing without a destination in mind. Like they're just trying to get through the story as quickly as they can so they can go do something else. For instance, the main character only just started school the previous episode and is already set to graduate in this episode without ever actually attending a class. The school seems to serve no purpose in the story besides providing another group of randos to frantically glaze the protagonist at every turn. It's done so often, and so such ridiculous extremes, that it's actually quite disruptive to the story. I don't think I'll bother watching any further. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted Monday at 12:01 AM Posted Monday at 12:01 AM Also sampled The Villainess is Adored by the Prince of the Neighboring Kingdom and A Misanthrope Teaches a Class for Demi-Humans. Both appear to be passable but unremarkable, utterly by-the-numbers examples of the otome game isekai and "normal guy teaches a class at paranormal school" genres respectively. The Villainess is Adored by the Prince of the Neighboring Kingdom is the story of a girl reincarnated in medias res as the villainess in the otome game she was playing when she died by Truck-kun, regaining memories of her past life just before she's due to meet her fate in the usual otome game villainess manner. Her story starts in earnest when her ex-fiance's plans to send her into exile are derailed barely a minute after being voiced by a prince from the neighboring kingdom declaring that he has Always Loved Her and immediately popping the question. It's not bad. It's just... really committed to that formula. A Misanthrope Teaches a Class for Demi-Humans is similarly formulaic. Another one of those series about an eccentric but otherwise normal human getting hired to teach at a school for paranormal beings in part because their life kinda-sorta sucks and also because part of the school's curriculum is teaching said paranormal beings how to act human. In this case, the teacher is a guy with social anxiety who quit his job as a regular teacher and is now stuck with a class containing three animal girls and a mermaid. Also not bad, but following its formula so strictly that you'd suspect deviation is published by caning or something. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted Monday at 05:23 PM Posted Monday at 05:23 PM Tried out You and I are Polar Opposites today over lunch. It's very similar to Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota in its basic premise of "someone with no poker face is very clearly down bad for their incredibly stoic classmate". IMO, it functions a lot better as a story because the protagonist Miyu is very aware of her feelings for her stoic classmate Yusuke and just not quite able to spit it out instead of being a bratty bully. It sold its romance well enough that it got me in Miyu's corner before the end of the episode, so I'm looking forward to more. 👍 Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted Monday at 08:16 PM Posted Monday at 08:16 PM Wash It All Away 2nd episode aired today. I am not sold on this show. It is cute. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted Thursday at 06:40 PM Posted Thursday at 06:40 PM The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter dropped a new episode today. So... um... Crunchyroll's list of applicable genres and short description of the series is missing a very critical detail. Their series page lists The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter in the Fantasy, Slice-of-Life, and Romance genres with a 14+ content advisory for "suggestive dialogue". The actual genre this series belongs to is Boys Love, as protagonist Seiichiro found out "the hard way" in this week's episode. 😅 I didn't look the series up on Wikipedia before starting it, and nothing in the entire first episode gives any hint that it's anything other than an isekai fantasy slice-of-life title taking a couple shots at Japan's toxic work culture. The first (and only!) warning of where things were headed was when the protagonist gets sick from drinking too many of the potions that are this world's equivalent of energy shots and, after being rushed away for treatment, [...] Spoiler [...] wakes up naked in an unfamiliar bed with a shirtless knight-commander displaying a shocking disregard for personal space. Spoiler And then they ****. Because that's the treatment for magic sickness, apparently. (I guess this world takes inspiration from Fate.) Once that's over, it's right back to firing shots across the bow of Japan's office culture like nothing happened with the knight order's doctor being absolutely horrified by Seiichiro's overall poor health, lack of sleep, and atrociously unhealthy vegetables-only diet. The rest of the episode is the knight commander borderline bullying Seiichiro into abandoning a whole array of ingrained toxic corporate culture habits like constant overtime, excessive use of stimulants, skipping meals and poor diet, taking work home after work hours, and so on... which sounds distressingly like a bunch of the conversations I've had to have with contract staffers at my day job. 😕 Still, I'll ship it. Probably the first human kindness that the poor bloke's felt since graduating college and entering the workforce. Honestly, I'm having a real problem writing this because 90% of the turns-of-phrase I want to use to describe how unexpected that was sound like double entendre in context now. 😅 Still an interesting series... the adult content was frankly unnecessary and adds nothing to the story.

m0n5t3r Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Just started rewatching Frieren S1 today and only just realized that S2 already started, lol... I just knew it was scheduled for 2026 but didn't bother to know when exactly it would start. 5 eps in and I'm still amazed I'm not bored (like @Big s was... but not his cat, apparently ) seeing as I'm usually more into action-packed and fast paced shows. I thought I would be skipping a lot of stuff like I usually do during a rewatch, but I find myself digesting every bit of dialogue and replaying scenes that may have some unspoken meaning. Will start S2 when the 2nd episode airs. Edited 13 hours ago by m0n5t3r Quote
