More anime.

Salad of Eccentrics, this is like Hinamatauri but not as good in any way. Not to say it was bad, far from it, but outside of some chuckles from visual gags I don't knoooow how long I'll stick with this? Will need to see how it structures itself moving forward.

Astro Note...sure is unique! Some of this felt like Adult Swim wrote and outline for an anime parody and then sent it to Telecom to localize and adapt into an actual show. I don't know what kind of staying power is here (common theme this season...), but I can't say it wasn't fun to watch. Angular Business failure and Pink Futaba Sakura were my favorites.

RoOT: Root of OddTaxi is not an anime and is not a show I knew was even coming out, so what a fucking surprise when this popped up on new releases on Crunchy! Obviously this should not be watched if you haven't already finished OddTaxi, but it's one of the best anime of the last decade so that should already be on your agenda if you haven't! Anyways, I was slightly disappointed that this is adjacent to the series rather than after it, but that does help you get in the groove of the setting all the easier. OddTaxi was already directed like a live action drama to begin with, so it was an effortless transition.

Subs still not out, but I skimmed Girls Band Cry's RAW. I LOVE how this show looks. Screen caps really can't do it justice (honestly from screencaps it looks kind of bad!), but the expressions and movements are so fluid. Just seeing a character slump down into a chair and cross her legs just shows how far CG anime has come and the stuff it can do that traditional animation can't. It's not all rainbows of course, unimportant characters in this thing look like ass most of the time, they clearly put all of their energy into the main cast, but the work definitely pays off. There's also none of the "framerate" issues we usually get with CG anime, everything is moving like butter....which is a little uncanny actually, takes some getting used to lol.

Obviously Studio Orange can't be topped, and this is no Orange, but they're going for a different vibe here and I think they nail it. Much better than what Polygon Pictures is churning out, that's for sure.
