April Anime 2025 Week 3

The Introductory post of this series.

My Anilist Profile.

And my Social Media


GQuuuuuuX episode 2 documents the point of divergence from the usual UC timeline.  Next episode will be back to the new main cast.

Episode 10 of Loner Life In Another World was good. 

The finale of Ameku M.D. was good.  I’m giving the show as a whole an 8. 

I decided to put Rock Is a Lady’s Modesty on hold during episode 3.  I don’t like its use of CGI and was finding some aspects of it surprisingly dull.

Weird how I’m saying On Hold still when I’ve moved to different Database websites, that language has become the default of how many fans talk in general.  Anilsit and Anime-Planet each use a different term, Paused and Stalled.

Episode 1159 of Detective Conan was a decent episode but I didn’t feel like how the movie tie episodes usually feel. The Detective Conan World Wiki is no longer listing who wrote this episode like they were last week, so maybe what I said last week was mistaken. 

Lazarus episode 3 was great, things are really getting interesting now. 

The season 2 premiere of Slime 300 was pretty fun. 

I won’t always be commenting on what Anime I’ve watched outside of what’s currently airing.  But this week I felt like mentioning how I’ve rewatched YU-NO which still holds up great and done a bunch of Gundam watching.  Rewatched Char’s Counterattack and The Origin and some episodes of some other shows.  And I watched for the first time the 08th MS Team which was phenomenal, and Requiem for Vengeance which I have a few mixed feelings on but is overall pretty good, and the first 3 episodes of 0083 Stardust Memory.

Before that I’d rewatched Str.A.In, 86 and a bunch of Code Geass

Update April 21st: Well Ubel Blatt's dub dropped on Amazon's Prime Video but after watching 5 episode the dub for Episode 6 somehow isn't loading, so this has caused an annoyance.

Further Update: That issues was fixed the next day.  After finishing the show I will say it's good but it's not a kind of Anime I'm into that much.  It's an adaptation of a Manga that started in 2004 and so is a throwback to a particularly style of Edgy Anime that was already on the way out when it started.

There are a couple things I find interesting about it.

The Empire being depicted has a Holy Roman Empire structure, I know I'd said that before about War on Geminar but this is even more explicit even using the term Elector.  So it's always a big refreshing when a Medieval Fantasy shows familiarity with more then just England and France.

The main character is clearly a Vampire even though they aren't using the word.  I generally don't like Vampires being thrown into full Fantasy settings, I think they're more interesting as a Secret history in the real world.  But in this case I'm intrigued by them actually throwing back to the old 19th Century Ruthven rules with him being healed by the Moonlight.
