Let's talk anime.

I routinely lose my mind about how cute it is.

I've been enjoying Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time as a casual play for a bit, but these Regulus Mines are an absolutely dreadful attempt to vary the play experience up. I don't know how this got past testing.

King's Avatar OVA. Love the first season and love the OVA as well. Cast is fun and fairly well rounded. The main character is that badass type but interesting and flawed enough to be relatable. While the entire cast is not a bunch of teenagers but adults instead. With adult problems. Which is damn refreshing, since watching someone half my age save the world and get the girl is getting old. And making me feel old....

Anyway, good show what it if you like good action anime, or are particularly into mmos.

Ugh. Something to look forward to.

I find the game is much more enjoyable in a casual style, just picking at it a bit here and there. So I'm just intermixing it with a couple other games and finally enjoying my time with it.

I'm largely playing it that way as well, bouncing between it and some other games. It's a delightful way to just get more time in with Luna Nova and its students, really. I feel like there should be some credit given in trying to make a game that allows you to explore the many different characters around the school rather than just having a linear story, but it's not gonna be making any top ten lists.

I finished a rewatch of the anime this morning and my love for it has only grown. I also feel like it has a lot in common with Kill la Kill regarding the number of themes going on and bringing them all together towards the end. What's interesting is that Kill la Kill is more ambitious with its themes, I think, but that ambition causes it to be pretty messy by the second half. Little Witch Academia, on the other hand, feels a lot more neat and tidy in comparison due to playing the themes with a bit more subtlety. At the same time, those themes speak through the characters much more clearly whereas a lot of people are left scratching their heads at Kill la Kill.

Maybe "ambition" is the wrong word and "crazy over-the-top" is more appropriate. The scale in Little Witch Academia feels classic Trigger, right down to "Oh so they're in space/the atmosphere now", but with greater restraint.

I'm curious to see what Trigger would do with another season. I know the team have plenty of ideas for what to do in the world and universe, I'm just curious if you'd be able to carry those themes forward or do something else (and for those wondering, I'm still contemplating how to word them, but I think the most obvious theme is old/tradition combined with new. JUST tradition and JUST new are frequently inhibiting or destructive in some fashion, but combining the two tends to be the way to progress forward. Similarly, there's something said about believing in yourself and... I don't want to say it's negative on hero worship, but a reminder that your heroes are fallible humans as well. I still also think this show is great for kids, because one of the top lessons is that even people that seem like naturals at magic had to work hard to get there, but even if you're not as good at certain things as they are, you yourself have your own "magic". Akko never reaches a point where she's as good a magician as Diana no matter how hard she works, but her hard work pays off in its own way because her own talents lie elsewhere. I think that's much better than the vague "you can do anything you want" my generation has grown up with and I admit feeling has caused mass psychological damage in combination with the lie of the American dream... but that's a conversation for another thread. Regardless, this over-long parenthetical was meant to say that I really, really like this show, and if you were to ask me what I think the best thing Trigger made was I'd be unable to objectively choose between this and Kill la Kill... though I do think Little Witch is a far, far easier recommendation to make).

So now that I've rewatched Kill la Kill, rewatched Soul Society arc of Bleach, and rewatched Little Witch, I'm pondering what I'd like to rewatch next. I'd like to give the Arrencar arc of Bleach another shot (completely skipping Bount), and I've been wanting to go back and give Gurren Lagaan another chance. I wasn't as big into it as everyone else was, but this could be a similar case as my first impression of Bayonetta. I was looking at it all wrong, and perhaps impacted too negatively by what others praised in it. A lot of times the worst thing I can do is listen to anything people say about a highly acclaimed anything, because my expectations of "great" seem to be set by very different criteria. That, or I'm just a really stubborn asshole that likes to be counter-culture.

Regardless, either Bleach, Gurren Lagaan, or perhaps I'll try starting up Naruto to try and figure out why I keep coming back to Bleach and yet have never, ever had the urge to go back to that particular Shonen hole.

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby continues to be the only new show I have time for this season, and boy is it a sports anime about horse-girls.

Gold Ship best horse-girl.

*cough cough*

Edit: So it's common for anime to use real world brands with only slight changes to the name, but someone should have told Magical Girl Ore that replacing "SoftBank" with "SoftDank" wasn't the best choice.

Oh my, I just listened to the Darling in the Franxx ANNCast where they eviscerate that show. I highly recommend listening to it even if you haven't watched that show. I told my friend watching that show is like watching a unicorn take a sh**. I can't stop watching just to see how many eyebrow raises it gives me each episode.

Oh, I'm completely watching this beautiful mess to the end at this point.

Has anyone seen the live action adaptation of Ajin?
I had no idea this existed until I found it while on a plane.
It's pretty good. Ends better than the anime.

One Piece, loving the current story line. Big Mama seems a bit out of their league at the moment. I do think it is odd that the gas guy isn't using his powers.

My Hero Academia, I'm loving this season. All for one vs One for all was great.

Wait? Boruto is good? I just read that small manga about Boruto, which was alright, I guess.
I got a bit burned with Naruto's fillers.

Boruto filler has been a delight when it has it.

Boruto is pretty good but I think it's pretty good because of my deep affection for the Naruto series.

And yeah, the Naruto filler can be terrible but there are a bunch of lists out there with all the filler so you know what episodes to avoid.

Oh, I already finished Naruto, so the damage is already done.

So on a whim I watched the first episode of Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody. For those who may not know, this is yet another isekai show, but the "twist" (if it can be called that) is that the protagonist is a developer at a company that made the game he ends up in.

Upon arrival he defeats an army of lizardpeople almost by accident, and the EXP he earns as a result boosts him to level 310, so he is like unto a god.

Now what I was hoping is that since he seemed pretty bored with the game when he was working on it in his real-world dayjob, and since he didn't seem to exactly have a do-gooder, go-getter kind of personality, that the show might be a comedy thing where everyone in the game world expects him to use his power to solve their problems and do heroic stuff and he just wants to be left alone. (Sort of like that viral Tumblr post about an anime where the protagonist just dodges becoming the protagonist of other anime in different genres).

Or in the first episode, a couple of times he says stuff like "I'm working hard like a good Japanese person" and "I thought because I was busy what I was doing with my life mattered", so I thought it might be cool if the show was about him finding meaning through his actions and relationships in a world that isn't "real," with some stealth commentary on the Japanese work ethic and business culture.

Imagine my disappointment when in a fit of optimism I did a little more research on the show and discovered that the protagonist immediately acquires a harem of female "slaves." OK maybe calling them a harem is a little unfair but one of them's entire defining character trait is apparently that she wants to jump his bones, because she's the reincarnation of a virgin Japanese woman who is obsessed with the idea of boinking a Japanese high school boy. Oh yeah, did I mention the protagonist goes from 29 in the real world to 15 in the game world for some reason? Well, he does.

Anybody have any deeper experience with this show to tell me if I'm judging too quickly? If the isekai fad isn't going to stop any time soon you would think one of these shows would stumble into something more thoughtful than bullsh*t adolescent wish fulfillment fantasies just for the sake of distinguishing itself, but maybe that's all there's a market for?

As a fan of isekai I'd say this is an average if enjoyable one. It's much more slice of life then pure wish fulfillment. Don't expect anything deep though. His background is basically meaningless.

I will say it's fairly light on the harem romance side of it. Lots of cooking and traveling instead. Also the character you mentioned is also my least favorite. She adds almost nothing to the story. Did enjoy the anime but compared to other isekai it's meh.

Amusingly there an isekai about a final fantasy dev trapped in his world that is much better.

I know lots of isekai shows but it's mostly manga. The only good anime one I know is overlord.

Having watched some of it, I can say that you're not wrong. It isn't quite as severe when laid out like that, and he "feels bad" about having to acquire the women as slaves instead of just being friends, but the end is the same. They call him master, some are part animal, and one of them tries to assault him in the night. Another issue is that he's sitting on a mountain of points to add to skills which only go up to 10. So anytime he's confronted with an issue, he maxes out the skill and automatically succeeds at it. Watching this anime was like watching someone else try and 100% an RPG on Godmode but only make pervy choices.

But someone on the production team must be a foodie. They focus on that A LOT.

What's this one?

The two I've seen I liked to any degree were:

Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash: But this is barely an isekai show at all in that the whole "how did we end up in this world?" aspect isn't really mentioned after the first episode - when all of the "Kirito's" go off to form their own team of cool butt-kickers and the protagonists are the leftovers who have to struggle to survive in fights against run-of-the-mill goblins.

Log Horizon: (Only watched the first season) I appreciated that the protagonist is a mage who uses his brain instead of just being a bestest fighter Marty Stu who is the bestest, and I liked that they explored aspects of the situation like trying to form some kind of societal civil order and how to relate to NPC's.

Heard log was good but never watched it for some reason. Grim was too grim for me. I avoid dark shows in general.

Personally, I am a big fan of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- because, although it starts in a familiar way to other isekai series, it takes a sinister turn as the "Talent" the protagonist has is Ground-Hog-Day-esque resurrection everytime time he dies. With the continued cycles taking a psychological toll on him throughout the series Re:Zero was a more engaging story line than: "I want something, give me 2 seconds, [poof] I have it" that I've seen since in shows like Death Rhapsody and In Another World with my Smartphone. Re:Zero was one of my favorite series of the year it was released in and I'm really hoping they continue the anime sometime in the near future.

Hinamatsuri is probably my favorite series this season. As a loosely-connected slice-of-life series, I always seem to find something great in each of its episodes. I find it vaguely similar in structure to Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. Also, each time they edit a piece of the opening/ending sequence, I really enjoy the humor of it.

Hinamatsuri is how all gag manga should be translated. There's usually some groan-inducing pun or joke at the end, but there's usually two funny stories in between and whether they nail the punchline at the end or not, it's invariably amusing when they pull it. Uncharacteristically, it's also honest about the imperfection of all its characters. I mean, Nitta IS a yakuza, but he's supposed to have a "heart of gold." Except that he's also human and sometimes that heart isn't as golden as the trope would lead you to believe. Nothing depraved, and usually at his own expense, so it's endearing and funny while also being true to a realistic character.

Hinamatsuri is great in its manga form. Highly recommended as a comedy manga. I've gotta find time to watch it.

Also saw the reference to King's App. It's adapted from a Chinese webnovel and the anime is surprising in the sense that it's quite similar to Japanese anime but it's a Chinese production. You can read it in the English translation for free at webnovel.com. They're still translating it. No news as to if and when second season will be forthcoming.

Personally, I am a big fan of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- because, although it starts in a familiar way to other isekai series, it takes a sinister turn as the "Talent" the protagonist has is Ground-Hog-Day-esque resurrection everytime time he dies. With the continued cycles taking a psychological toll on him throughout the series Re:Zero was a more engaging story line than: "I want something, give me 2 seconds, [poof] I have it" that I've seen since in shows like Death Rhapsody and In Another World with my Smartphone.

Re:ZERO is really good, but waaaaaaay more grim than any other isekai anime I've seen. Highly recommend provided you can stomach seeing the protagonist die horribly every other episode.

Hinamatsuri +++++

After nearly 18 months since JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable ended, we finally have confirmation that Part 5: Golden Wind will be adapted. It will premiere in October. I have to admit, I was a little worried for a while there.

The most important question is: What will the ending song be?
