Just watched the first two episodes of Bloodbath Beddlefield and Beyond and I gotta say
I liked it a lot! The pacing is still fast but it's got a much more even flow to it and Chain even got to do a cool thing in the first episode!

Episode 2 gave me a giggle with it's flashback letterboxing and I thought Klaus's interactions with Luciana were adorable, I hope she's more than a one-shot, especially since her complete form is hella

So, you know those recent shows that ditch classic animation for anime-like CGI?

Houseki no Kuni is doing a respectable job with that; maybe most of the budget went into the OST or something because the music and the OP are very gut. Very interesting story setup so far.

I know someone here is a sucker for the manga.

yeeee

Finally won you over, woo~
Like, it's pretty slow for a bit, but when it gets going it's just soooo good.

Also, to anyone who wants to get into the fan-translated manga, maybe don't right now...
I'm the current proofreader so, like, the most recent are decent.
However, the series moved hands a bit and it's just a headache. In particular, there's a long stretch of time with the most artrocious translation.

So Blend S is a cute anime about girls who work at a maid cafe and they have to take on tropes that are not part of their character.

Like this happy go lucky gamer girl has to be the tsundere in the cafe and she’s super cute.
Also, best girl is Mafuyu. Smol bully best girl.

Funnily enough, that gif is actually one of the emotes.
It's one of the more versatile emotes of the set.

Unforutnately, this marathon is LOUSY with ads.
Hopefully they'll have less as it goes on.
They've also done the RWBY method, and do 12-ish episodes, then repeat them.
I kinda like this more because it means we won't miss particularly good seasons (Which is what happened with the Power Rangers Marathon, Dino Charge stated at MIDNIGHT)

Are they showing season 0 as well? Are people getting to see Yugi kill people?

Dub only.
It's funny though, becuase now we're at the age we can appreciate how shitty the 4kids dub was.
Yu-Gi-Oh is basically a toss up of wanting a bad dub you can laugh at or the boring original

Naturally I'll choose Joey Wheeler over Jounouchi every time, but I will admit that JP Pegasus is pretty good DEYYYYSSSS

Heya, Quick question for any peeps who've been re-watching bleach as of late.

latest


Was the bount arc just filler?

Major Blech spoilers Ahead
Getting into this show again from rewatching the episodes from the beginning up to Rukia's execution and felt like watching more of it since Netflix stops just after the last ep of that season. Emedetly right after the introduce these guys

Which I found kinda odd since I thought peeps would be a bit more concerned with Aizen doing some spooky stuff but just decided to roll with it and tbh was pretty interested about how Uryu was going to cope with not having his powers.

But it turns out by the end of the season literally nothing has changed from when they started! I mean they play with the idea of Ichigo losing his bankai for a whole 1 episode out of about 40 or so but by the end of the season: Every major bount dies or has their storyline resolved in such a way were we may never see them again, Uryu has some power than lost it again and 3 main characters seem just as lost about what to do next since they only served main roles when the bounts were around. In fact there ending are exactly the same too almost to a T!
There leaving the soul society again, Rukia's hanging back again and the stories starting right off after they get back.

Seriously, Was that whole entire ark just filler? Just a side story to distract from the main plot?
(Like a movie?)
ending in such a way where a person could have skipped it and still be "right where we left off?"
If so then why? Why add that many episodes of padding?

the doll characters were popular. and they could easily be there and not impede on the canon arcs.

So, after watching Eden of the East again, I can easily say this is my favorite anime.
Now, I gotta watch the movies again. Because I saw a boy become a prince, now I need to see him become a king.

Christ this season has two contenders for worst anime of the year. Watched Black Clover and Ousama Game with a friend and they are both hot garbage. Special mention to Ousama game because it goes from mediocre to completely irredeemable in less than 10 seconds come the second episode. A new record.

So far the only shows I like are Juuni Taisen and Houseki no Kuni and the latter is being carried more by my knowledge of the manga as the show is nice but the 3D does not really impress me. I expect The ancient magus' bride is a good show but haven't gotten to it yet as am I trying to find time to watch the apocalypse SOL show.

black clover is literally naruto but worse and that is a very distressing sentence to say

Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the show?

Check out Recovery of an MMO junkie. It’s my pick for best this season. Kind of a slice of life/romantic-comedy mix that is about a business woman who becomes a NEET. And she’s easily the best girl this season. And she’s 30.

Also the opening is amazing.
