Final Anime Weekly Update, Including Pokemon.

As I said the goal of Anime Weekly Updates was mainly to do this for 2018 and I don’t think I’ll be continuing it in 2019.  Also for Winter 2019 I think I might wait a month or so before checking out the new shows, I think part of why I enjoyed Winter 2017 so much was that when I started it even the Simuldubs already had a handful of episodes each to binge.

On Friday I finally watched Pokemon The Power Of Us.  It was pretty good, I think this alternate continuity film series will do better now that it’s not condensing much of an 80 episode saga.  Though I do wish Ash had more Pokemon.

I think it took longer than any other film for us to see any Pokemon on screen, about 3 minutes.  I’m sure in Japan it was preceded by an amazing world of Pokemons segment and/or a Pikachu Short.  But it’s interesting that the Pre-Title screen segment wasn’t really about the Legendaries of this film at all but just introducing one of our new main human characters.

This female lead was pretty fun, I quite enjoyed her.  When she referred to her sibling as “Little Brother” I was quite shocked.  I want more Oneechans in Anime.

The film’s tie in to the new game is by prominently featuring an Eevee (since Pikachu is always there) and that worked out great, for being one of the most popular Pokemon it’s surprising it took this long for Eevee to get a lead role in a movie.

It looks like a defining feature of this alternate timeline series is going to be having a flashback where a Pokemon actually dies.  I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of that decision, but it works in the story better this time then it did in the first film.

I’m not going to this early on make any definitive statement on how I’d rank it.  I’ll just say it didn’t disappoint.

I also decided to finish Ms Vampire Who Lives In My Neighborhood, just binged the last three episodes.  It was a pretty satisfying show.

Turns out both the Slime Incarnation simuldub and Hugtto!PreCure took New Years off.

This is going to be my last blog post of 2018, so see ya in 2019 and Happy New Year.

A Certain Magical Index is awesome

This week's Slime Incarnation and Hugtto!PreCure were still pretty good.

And I just watched episodes 7-9 of Index season 3, Dubbed of course.

I talked a lot on Twitter about Index and Railgun when I first got into them last November, I love em and season 3 is not disappointing.

The Raildex franchise is another Anime example of what I was talking about liking from Anime in "We don't Trade Lives", I wish I was already familiar with it when I wrote that.

This franchise is also I think likely to be Linkara's favorite Anime if he ever watched it.  I'm similar to Linkara in a lot of ways, as a fellow Teen Titans fan and having a similar history with Power Rangers and Pokemon.  But I'm also aware of where we're different, we'll never see eye to eye on Snyder's Superman films or Identity Crisis.  So Index/Railgun is not quite my favorite Anime franchise but I suspect it could become Linkara's.

It really is the perfect Anime to get an old school Western Nerd like I used to be into Anime in a similar way to Code Geass which played a big role in getting me into Anime.

Anime Weekly Update, back from the Hospital again

I had to go the Hospital again, but I'm doing much better now.

I caught up on both the Slime Incarnation Simuldub and Huggto!PreCure, they're both still pretty good shows.

I decided to put Ms Vampire on hold for now.

I was hospitalized for a week.

That messed up my plans for both 12 days of Anime Christmas and Anime Weekly Updates.

Two posts for the "12 days of" project were already written and are still coming.

Then I think I'd decided following my last Anime Weekly update before all this started was that I was likely to wait till December's over to binge all the December episodes of IndexIII.

I don't think I'll be saying anything about my catch up on what I missed last week, just know they're the shows I'd been following.

Hanukkah Anime Weekly Update

Episode 6 of A Certain Magical Index III was pretty good, it finished off an arc so maybe I’ll wait a couple weeks before starting the next one.

Episode 9 of Ms Vampire was a lot of fun.

Episode 12 of Food/Stay Night was a Christmas episode which was nice, maybe it’ll worthy of a deeper break down later in the month.  Turns out the show will have a 13th Episode, so it won’t be finished before the year ends.

Episode 42 of Hugtto!PreCure was pretty emotional but satisfying in the end.

Episode 7 of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime was dope.

If I make a post looking back on 2018 it’ll probably be after new years.  As is it looks like my last post of 2018 will be the last Anime Weekly Update.  I started this project at the beginning of 2018 planning to do it for the year with no guarantee of continuing it next year.  And I think I’ll stick with that, and in 2019 just do posts on current Anime I’m watching whenever something hits me.  To many of these posts felt forced and often saying nothing more than “well, I watched this week’s episodes”.

Week 47 Update

Ms Vampire Who Lives In My Neighborhood episode 8 was a pretty solid episode.

My tolerance of Ulysses: Jeanne d’Arc and The Alchemist Knight is growing thin, episode 5 was quiet fixated on Rape and Purity.

Well I’ve watched all of A Certain Magical Index season 1 and 2 as well as A Certain Scientific Railgun season 1 and 2, dubbed of course.  And now I’ve started A Certain Magical Index III having watched the Dubs of the first 5 episodes by the end of Saturday November 24th.  It’s been awhile since I did such a massive Binge project, it was quite a rewarding experience.

Hugtto!PreCure episode 41 was pretty good.

I finally got to see Heaven’s Feel Presage Flower now that the Dub is available.  I made some Tweets about it.

Episode 6 of Slime Incarnation was great.

Anime Weekly Updates, a Thankful Season

Ulysses: Jeanne d’Arc and the Alchemist Knight episode 4 was…. Damn I’m really conflicted on this show.  If it wasn’t about Jeanne but rather a made up fantasy world I’d be a lot less critical about certain things.

Ms Vampire who Lives in my Neighbourhood I referred to as the only show I’m consistently enjoying this season.  It’s really more like it’s the only show that isn’t mildly bothering me at any points.  It's CGDCT appeal still can’t compete with the greats of the Genre just yet.  Episode 7 was pretty decent, I’m glad the Beach Episode routine didn’t go on too long.

The above statement was about specifically Fall shows and obviously doesn’t include Hugtto!PreCure which has been awesome, episode 40 was quite fun as it finally clarified a lot of things.

In the meantime I also decided to watch A Certain Magical Index which is proving to be a pretty interesting show.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime episode 4 was pretty good, so I’ve got two Fall shows I’m mostly enjoying.

This coming Wednesday I'm planning on watching season one of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha dubbed, and then on Thanksgiving I'll do A's.

Anime Weekly Update: Deep into November.

Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-San aka Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood’s episode 5 introduced our two secondary characters to each other, and had some fun with Curry and Garlic.

Wow, great job Conception, it didn’t take long at all for episode 2 to ruin what I found interesting about it.

I was late in getting to Release The Spyce episode 4, and eventually decided to maybe just wait and watch episodes 4 and 5 back to back.  But the thing is now that the plot is picking up I feel like I may need to wait for the Dub because I’m not following the episode much at all.

Episode 11 of Attack on Titan Season 3 was an informative episode.

The Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime episode 3 was great.

Ulysses: Jeanne d’Arc and the Alchemist Knight episode 3 had some good stuff, but…. 

I’m all for Anime that takes some part of history and flips a bunch of the genders.  But in the case of Jeanne what’s interesting about her story has a lot to do with it being unusual at the time for women to take such roles.  And then you add in the other fairly common mistake sin how to fictionalize Jeanne and I mostly wind up wishing this was just a made up fantasy world.

Ms. Vampire episode 6 was fun.

Episode 12 of season 3 of Attack on Titan was okay. Apparently MAL is choosing to organize season 3 of AoT into two seasons.

Hugtto!PreCure episode 39 was a pretty good shake up.

I saw the Detective Pikachu trailer and it was awesome, this film’s gonna rock.  I love that they used that song from the first Super Smash Bros trailer.

Slime Isekai episode 4 was pretty good, this show is pretty solid so far.

Anime Weekly Update: October becomes November

Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-San aka Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood’s episode 4 introduced a new Vampire, and it was pretty fun.

Episode 10 of Attack On Titan season 3 was a moody episode.

Episode 2 of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime was decent.

That was the last of the new Anime I watched in October, then November began.

I watched the first episode of Conception, dubbed, not right when it dropped, I waited a bit deciding if I wanted to try it.  I watched it hoping it might be another show to be surprising free of the Fanservice I dislike in-spite of its premise, and for the first episode I’d say it was.  I did a post last year explaining how what I mean by Anime Fanservice isn't anything you could fap to, but actually pretty all stuff I don’t desire to fap to.

The people not being kind to this first episode come from two angles.  You got the Anime Feminist review that is all “what an obvious male fantasy” while I’m noticing that the male lead was arguably objectified more then the girls.  And then the more Meme driven Gigguk who’s all “why be about Sex if it isn’t an actual Hentai”, but I don’t enjoy a lot of Hentai because I want to see people make love rather than mindless humping.

Episode 11 of Food/Stay Night focused on Archer for a change, which was fun.

Ulysses: Jeanne d’Arc and The Alchemist Knight episode 2 was……. So the gimmick for this Anime take on Jeanne d’Arc is that she’s basically Wolverine.

I think I might like it.

Fall Simuldubs have started, but I'm only following 2 so far.

Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-San aka Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood’s third episode was good, very specifically reminded me of Lucky Star.  Also I hath nick named this show Moe The Vampire Layer.

Release The Spyce episode 3 featured a character who reminded me of a character from Project A-Ko.

Well I can officially say I feel no obligation to continue commenting on SAO Alicization.

The thing about Attack on Titan season 3 is that it’s reminded me of themes I enjoyed from Game of Thrones and the Battlestar Galactica remake at the same time.  Episode 9 has continued that.  I think it’s been worth the wait.

Hugtto!PreCure episode 37 had some cool moments, but I’m a little disappointed the big crossover event was only a two parter.

The Time I Got Reincarnated as A Slime’s Simuldub started, and it’s first episode was pretty good.  I’m still not gonna watch Goblin Slayer though.

Ulysses: Jeanne d’Arc and the Alchemist Knight first episode was pretty compelling.  From what I read in the comments it’s taken a page from Fate’s play book.

Anime Weekly Update: Summer is finished, now Fall can fully begin.

Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-San aka Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood’s second episode was also a lot of fun.  I have decent hopes for this one.  Perhaps a good shorthand for it would be Ms. Vampire.

Episode 8 of Attack On Titan season 3 was pretty good again, this is dwarfing the entertainment value of season 2.

Something I wasn’t aware of last week, the official episode description for the pilot of Release The Spyce began with “The Spyce must flow” in the English version at least.  So they definitely know what they’re doing.

Episode 2 was a pretty good follow up, it explained some more about how this world works.

Now to talk about SAO Alicization.  Because of the double length premier I have no idea if this episode I just watched will ultimately be numbered as 2 or 3, but it’s title was The Demon Tree.

I thought Alicization was getting a full year because it’s an arc that spanned like 7 Novels.  But I’m now starting to suspect that it won’t actually do much more than a usual SAO arc and they’re just really stretching it out.  I know that Digibro accuses all SAO sequel arcs of having slow starts, but you see I don’t mind a slow start to a certain extent.  Three episodes into Alfheim and Gun Gale I felt definitely gave me an engaging set up to what we were starting.  Here I feel like I’ve just watched three different pilots to three different shows.

I don’t think I can get used to Kirito’s Japanese VA.  For one thing while both VAs I’m pretty sure are older then Kirito’s actual age, the Japanese one does not sound like a Young Adult at all, in this episode especially if I heard that voice in a Hentai I’d assume it’s the rapist teacher who’s about to NTR a character Kirito’s age. 

Bryce Papenbrook might be easy to write off as the generic Senian Harem king with a Hero complex Dub voice.  But while Eren, Shiro and Kirito all clearly have the same English voice I can still clearly tell them apart.  Kirito is the most mentally stable of this Triumvirate and Bryce thus plays him in a much more subdued way.

Episode 36 of Hugtto!PreCure was crossover madness.  Not a lot for me to chew on with the four teams I care about the most being missing.  But next week is looking to be quite a treat.  Which reminds me, I've been meaning to do a blog post on how the first three PreCure Allstar movies were better crossover films then the first Avengers movie.

Steins;Gate 0 had a pretty dope ending. I’ll give the show a 9.

October's first Weekly Anime Update

Tonari no Kyuuketsuki-San aka Ms. Vampire Who Lives in My Neighborhood had a perfectly adorable pilot.  There was a period where Vampire based fiction was a top obsession of mine, I started this blog when that phase was winding down. I wish I could have seen this show and Tsukihime back then.

I know I said last week I was gonna include Slime and Goblin Slayer in the simuldubs I was gonna watch.  But with both I’ve since heard a lot of things about them being Dark and Gritty in ways I prefer my Isekai to not be.  So I probably simply won’t try them after all.

The first episode of Release The Spyce was fun.  Since I first heard of it I’d been joking about the title making me think of Dune.  But it turns out the titular Spyce does kind of the do the same thing Melange does.

Attack On Titan season 3 episode 7 was pretty darn good again, season 3 is easily proving to be way better than season 2 was.

The premier of Sword Art Online: Alicization was 47 minutes, I suspect MAL will ultimately classify it as two episodes.  The first half was not too exciting but has me curious.  The Gun Gale Online segment was fun, I had no idea how much I wanted to see Sylica manning a machine gun.  It seems like they might be planning to play even more into the Gnostic themes I’ve been meaning to write a blog post on.  This is my first time watching this cast with their Japanese VAs, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to get used to them.

Hugtto!PreCure episode 35 was okay.

Steins;Gate 0 episode 22 was very good, I’m quite excited to see the ending now.

Anime Weekly Update, Summer Ends and Halloween Season Begins

Besides the currently airing shows I’ve been mainly watching old Pokemon Stuff still.  Sometimes joining one of the TwitchPresents streams which were covering Master Quest this last week and are now starting the Advance Generation, sometimes watching old Pokemon Chronicles and Diamond and Pearl episodes on my favorite non legit site.  And also revisiting various movies.

Happy Sugar Life had a fairly unsatisfying ending, they didn’t quite go all the way either way with the different routes they could have gone.  I gave the show an 8 on MAL for now, I may change my mind later.

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight has also ended.  This show started out great but got pretty dull, really losing me with the pointless time loop twist, and in time I mostly felt like I was forcing myself to finish it, and maybe I wouldn't have if the Summer had more shows I really got into.  It gave us a happier ending then Ikuhara usually does so that’s a plus, but not enough to make up for how dull it got.

And of course in the last episode they decided to get really on the nose with the meta commentary they were never actually making.

Attack On Titan season 3 episode 6 was pretty good, lots of interesting reveals of the show’s lore that I’d been waiting for.  I know a lot of people are gonna see revealing the Royal/Noble bloodlines to have some secret magical powers as endorsing a Feudal worldview regardless of if it’s depicting them as depraved and corrupt.  But maybe it makes more sense to look at it as the families with special powers are the ones who naturally would have taken power in the distant past in a fantasy setting, like the Targaryen’s ability to control Dragons on Game of Thrones.

Episode 34 of Hugtto!PreCure was pretty amusing.  I was late in seeing episode 33 or I probably would have commented on it in last week’s update, with that episode I think the show might have gotten its groove back.

Episode 10 of Food/Stay Night was fun as usual.

Episode 21 of Steins;Gate 0 was awesome, this is what we’ve been waiting for.

Looks like my Anime of the year is still likely to be Katana Maidens.

For the coming Fall Season, the FUNimation Simuldubs I’m likely to try are That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, Goblin Slayer, Ulysses: Jeanne D’Arc and The Alchemist Knight, and maybe a few others when I learn more about them.  Sentai/HiDive is doing Release The Spyce, I’ll wait till the Dub starts this time and then if I don’t like the voices I can just catch up on the Sub.  SAO season 3 I may try to follow Subbed since I know it’s Dub will take awhile, there are other shows I may try like that Vampire Yuri one.

And of course I’ll be continuing AoT 3 and what’s left of Steins;Gate 0.

For October I was earlier in the year planning to do some project related to Horror Anime, but due to certain events in my life I’m not in the mood for anything too dark right now.  So my Halloween Anime recommendations remain the same as they were last year in my Top 5 post and the follow up.  I did make a new Higurashi post on another blog.
http://mithrandironmythology.blogspot.com/2018/10/this-is-post-about-higurashiwhen-they.html

Update: Okay apparently I was mistaken about which show Sentai is simuldubbing. I guess I'll have to sub Release The Spyce.

Autumn approaches, Anime Weekly Update

Overlord III with episode 8 is definitely losing me.  This darker direction is not what I need right now.

Happy Sugar Life episode 11 was a good episode.

Revue Starlight episode 11 was rather dull.

Attack on Titan season 3 episode 5 was awesome, it reminded me of Battlestar Galactica, the 2000s version.

Steins;Gate 0 episode 20 was pretty good, I’m hyped for the coming episodes.

I’ve dropped Ragnarok and also decided to put Overlord III on hold for the time being.

Lately the Anime I’ve been watching in my spare time have all been Pokemon stuff.  Though I still have no desire to really get into Sun and Moon.  At any rate I’ll be watching even more Pokemon in the time to come.  I think it’s proven to be pretty good for my mindset.  Also some Pokemon related content on YouTube, stuff from Suede and Linkara, some Abridged material, and so on.

I'm not sure to what extent I'll be continuing this Anime Weekly Updates project.  Next week the two Subs I've followed for the Summer will end so I'll likely try to give some final thoughts on them.

September Anime Update Week 2

Episode 31 of Hugtto!PreCure was an upgrade episode, but I still don’t have much to say about it.

Steins;Gate 0 episode 19 was very good, I think this quasi sequel may indeed prove to be worth it.

With episode 7 of Overlord III it looks like they’re finally trying to make up for lost time in actually making our villain protagonists look villainous.  Not exactly what I was in the mood for right now.

Episode 10 of Happy Sugar Life was a pretty revealing episode.

The 4th episode of Attack on Titan season 3 was interesting.

Revue Starlight had a good start, but it’s been slowly losing me.  It’s visual Aesthetic shows that this is being made by a protege of Ikuhara, but they don’t have Ikuhara’s true talent.  I was watching episode 10 on my Laptop with earphones in while my brother was watching a friggin lifetime movie on TV, and the lifetime movie was managing to distract me from my trippy Yuri Anime.

After watching episode 8 of Ragnarok, I’d have to say my enthusiasm for that show is waning a bit as well.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think I’m getting bored of Hugtto!PreCure.  For the first the half of 2018 it was phenomenal, looking to be a 10 out of 10 show.  But the last few weeks have like it’s entered stall mode, and now episode 32 felt like a chore to finish.

Basically the Summer season is looking pretty weak now, with the only one keeping me particularly engaged is the carry over form last season, and even that is inferior to the show it’s a spin off of.

It may be over a week before I post the next update.

The First Week of September Anime Update

Steins;Gate 0 episode 18 was a very intense episode, I’m unsure exactly what happened at the end.

Episode 6 of Overlord III was okay.

I couldn’t get far into episode 7 of How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord, so I’ve decided to drop it for now.  Mother’s Basement decided call this a good show and Ragnarock bad, in some ways yes narrativly speaking Ragnarock does more of what annoys me.  But it’s this show that has the over exaggerated Ecchi I simply hate.

Shera I would enjoy a lot more if her character design was like Deedlit from Record of Lodoss War.  Deedlit’s character design is the main reason I keep trying to give that old fantasy Anime a shot, but it’s story keeps failing to engage me.  Yet I got idiots telling me how annoyed I am by these ridiculous mounds of gelatin must mean I don’t like breasts, but I am a Makoto Kino fan, and back when I was more a Western Comic Book Nerd I fapped to Power Girl plenty.  Yes, you read that right, in Ecchi Anime there are breasts so ridiculous I’m now thinking of Power Girl's as plausible and realistic in comparison. 

With Rem I feel like it doesn’t match her character how much skin she’s showing, she gives off a much more modest vibe, so how she’s dressing just feels inconsistent.

Happy Sugar Life episode 9 was gut wrenching.

Revue Starlight episode 9 was good.  It’s weird how they introduced the time loop twist as this big thing in episode 7 but them seem to have pretty quickly resolved that aspect of the plot.

Episode 9 of Ragnarok had me thinking of The Ten Commandments.  This show continues to amaze me.

With Episode 3 of Season 3 of Attack On Titan the story is finally getting interesting.

September Begins

There is no guarantee I’ll bother to comment on every Hugtto!PreCure episode from this point on.  Episode 29 was okay filler.

Steins;Gate 0 episode 17 was quite a ride.

Overlord III episode 5 was a nice fun episode.

How NOT to Summon A Demon Lord episode 6 was okay.  I may wind up dropping this show, it’s not bad but I can only take so much Ecchi.

Episode 9 of Food/Stay Night dropped, and it was a fun episode.  But I can’t help but notice that Caster/Medea is perhaps the most changed character in these Parody AUs, she’s much more submissive than the awesome Witch we originally got.

Episode 8 of Revue Starlight was very good.  I’m still apprehensive about the time loop plot twist, but this episode was quite good.

Episode 8 of Happy Sugar Life was great, the show is really getting interesting now.

Episode 6 of Ragnarock was partly a Hot Spring episode and then some other filler. 

I watched Sword Art Online Alternative and may decide to make a post on it, or maybe not, the short versions is I liked it.

Augustus Month is nearing it's end.

Episode 16 of Steins;Gate 0 was pretty intense.

Episode 4 of Overlord III was fun, a pleasant surprise.

How NOT to Summon A Demon Lord episode 5 was nice and entertaining.

Happy Sugar Life episode 7 was unexpected but good.

I’m not sure what to make of episode 7 of Revue Starlight.

Episode 5 of Ragnarok was a lot of fun.

In Mother’s Basement video trashing on the show he compared the villain to Gilgamesh (with Fate/Stay Night’s Gilgamesh clearly being the intended reference), but in this episode he actually reminded me more of Fate/Zero’s take on Iskandar(Alexander The Great).

The MC seems to think he’s on Earth in the past and not actually a different world, I have no idea if that’s supposed to be correct or not.  Strictly speaking the weird anachronism I commented on previously of using Norse mythological names in a Bronze Age Near East setting conflicts with viewing this as compatible with real history.  But I’m a long time nerd of this kind of stuff who’s aware that the Prose Edda claims the Æsir descended from an ally of King Priam of Troy.

You see the reason I’m loving this show in-spite of all the valid flaws you can point out, is that rather than reminding me of the usual Fantasy lineage that Isekai anime draws on (MMORPG/JRPG descended from Table Top Games descended from Tolkien) it instead reminds me of old Italian Peplum/Sword and Sandal films that I sometimes have a craving for.  And old cheap American and British films drawing on the same kinds of ideas.  Those films were fun in-spite of being not exactly Cecil B Demille quality, and often quite anachronistic.  It’s definitely something different for this genre.

And that’s why the comparison to Fate/ characters is poignant, as that franchise can also remind me of that genre when dealing with Heroic Spirits who were eligible to be subjects of those films.  From Gilgamesh to Iskandar to all the Greek mythology figures, and now the Biblical ones added by Grand Order.  And there were two films about Semiramis, The Slave Queen of Babylon staring Yvonne Furneaux was one of my favorite films of the genre, most are mainly So Bad it’s Good, but this one is worthy of a legit analytical video essay from Lindsay Ellis or Kyle Kallgren or someone.

The second episode of Attack on Titan season 3 was very good, I was quite surprised how much progress happened.  The Dub is taking next week off for Labor day, and if I have as little to say about most shows as I did this week I may do the same.

I'm posting this update early.

I want to start generally posting these after watching the Saturday shows.

The 4th Episode of How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord was surprisingly good.  I would have liked to see Rem handle her situation on her own, but it was still good regardless of that.

Happy Sugar Life episode 6.  That Fingernail part might have freaked me out if I hadn't already seen Higurashi.  But compared to Higurashi's it's nothing.

Episode 6 of Revue Starlight I don’t have any particular thoughts on.

I enjoyed episode 4 of Ragnarok.  Mother’s basement decided to make a video bashing it the same day.  I mean it’s probably technically my least favorite Isekai too, but the genre doesn’t have as low an average with me.  What bugs me more about the video was his jabs at In Another World With My Smartphone, which is probably my favorite Isekai, that he choose Death March to be the one post 2016 Isekai to give a positive review too baffles me, it is inferior to Smartphone in every possible way.

The premier of Attack On Titan season 3 was pretty good.  But I should have known the girl I didn’t quite recognize would get stuffed in Levi’s refrigerator.

The 28th episode of Hugtt!PreCure was fun.

Summer is arguably half over

But since I stick to Simuldubs I'm not like a quarter of the way through mostly.

The third episode of How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord was surprisingly interesting.  I said after the first I was unconcerned with being able to make a Feminist defense of the show.  But episodes 2 and 3 both have sequences about other men being unwilling to listen our heroines explain the situation because they jumped right into white knighting mode. 

The thing about Anime Feminist’s review of the first episode was they wanted to rant as if it has some relevance to real world slavery, when it isn't about a legal institution of slavery but a magick spell.

Having an cliffhanger ending at only episode 3 is a pretty bold move.

Happy Sugar Life episode 5 was awesome, it was great, I loved it.

Revue Starlight episode 5 was hilarious.

Episode 3 of Ragnarock was pretty cool.  I continue to be intrigued by this world looking like an old Italian Sword and Sandal setting, but the names largely coming from Norse Mythology.  We also got Yuri Twincest with one of them being voiced by Monica Rial.

Episode 27 of Hugtto!PreCure was another Shinzo Abe commissioned episode.

Episode 8 of Steins;Gate 0 was okay, but not likely to be one of my favorites.

Overlord III it seems is gonna be similar to season 2.  But that’s alright, at least this time it’s mostly characters we already know.

Am I the only who finds it odd that they consider posting an adventurer request more self independent then asking a person they know for help?

Enri is totally Bisexual.

Does anyone else get a Kelly Hu vibe from Narberal’s Dub Voice Actress Anastasia Munoz?

For those who like when I talk about more than just Anime, I’ll like be writing something on the recent Death of Superman animated movie soon.  I’m also contemplating writing something on Magical Girl Raising Project.
