The old one had very minimalistic things going on, but it really was great fun and much more enjoyable overall Agreed, Orange's take on the series does seem a little darker then the OG anime. When you mentioned bailing on Stampede I figured you didn't finish it so just wanted to give a heads up on Stargaze. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Frieren was so funny today. Too bad there is only ten episodes. Quote

When you mentioned bailing on Stampede I figured you didn't finish it so just wanted to give a heads up on Stargaze. I want to say that manga fans felt Stampede was 1) closer to it in tone despite 2) being it's own loose adaptation. Are either of these the case? I didn't watch it past a few episodes - nothing against it, I just lost track and never got back to it. I thought it was fine for a property I was never super into, but it did indeed bring me back to the OG anime, which I think definitely stands the test of time given my nephew was watching alongside and having a good time, too.

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted February 25 Posted February 25 So back to the collection for me.. having finished Tora Dora, I figured I would try for the 2nd of the triple crown of Tsundere Loli characters voiced by Rie Kugimiya.. which is Zero no Tsukaima/The familiar of Zero. 4 seasons, and I will admit I still have a soft spot for this series, even with the fact that Louise is a terrible choice for the MC. Tiffania any day of the week was a better choice. With that said, I think the series starts pretty strong, but somewhere along S2 and S3 runs out of gas. The whole Albion war arc is pretty rough to watch, particularly the school hostage story arc. Season 4 does a fairly good job at capping the whole series. Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Around the 2/3 mark on the current season, not a lot of the shows I've tried have had much to show for themselves. I'm particularly frustrated by The Casebook of Arne because, despite its pretensions to being a detective story, it's so badly composed that calling it a detective story feels like a slight against actual detective stories. (Esp. since the answer to each mystery is usually whatever the most obvious supernatural monster is given the circumstances. It basically obeys none of Knox's Ten Commandments for mystery writing so every deduction and every conclusion feels like an arse pull AND baby's first mystery at alternating times. A lot of the suspected isekai and adjacent slop turned out to just be actual isekai and adjacent slop. Jack-of-all-Trades, Party of None is your usual overpowered protagonist affair. A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation is almost the embodiment of tedium. Isekai Office Worker started out interesting but after a few episodes it's basically just the same joke on his lover's overprotectiveness over and over. The Villainess is Adored by the Prince of the Neighboring Kingdom is an otome series with none of the usual parody of subversion, so it's not funny or interesting it's just the adventures of a blatant Mary Sue. I've had a bit more fun with romcoms like Tamon's B-Side, which remains both a romcom and a frank examination of how phenomenally toxic and fake the idol industry is. Quote
