Having started it on July 6th, just finished the second completed long series on my list, after Dragonball, Hajime no Ippo. Fantastic series. Hype, hype, and more hype. Would recommend to anyone even non-boxing fans, though its a fair investment at 75 episodes. Not sure if I'll watch any of the follow up material, since I heard none of them are as good, but I enjoyed what I saw. Plenty of emotions throughout the series from Happy, to sad, to HOLY SHIT.
I leave with the hype first two openings, since the third one was.... blarg.

The second OVA for Revue Starlight was just subbed and uploaded, and it looks like fun. Gonna watch that today. Also, FlySubs (the guy who started subbing Revue Starlight after StarlightSubs dropped it and included a 'meme subs' track) went back and subbed the previous episodes from before he started. So now every episode has a meme subs track, and if I ever do another re-watch of this series, I'm gonna watch it with those.

I like how these Revue Starlight OVA's after the main series all seem to be focused on Hikari coming out of her shell and becoming more comfortable around the other Starlight girls besides Karen. The first OVA was her, Futaba, Mahiru, and Banana hanging out in the dressing room, getting measured for their costumes, and discussing their heights and other certain... features. Hikari eventually steps, manages to cheer Futaba up with a story, and they become closer friends. It was cute.

The newest OVA was her, Maya, and Junna talking about the differences between how she and Maya perform the role of Claire. I was shocked at just how much frustration Maya showed (she may not lose often, but she's totally a sore loser when she does) about losing the role before Junna found a way to bring Maya and Hikari back on the same page. The conversation helped reveal that Maya is a lot less perfect and a lot more human than most thought, and it helped Hikari open up her feelings more.

There's one more OVA to come with the last BD volume, which will most likely feature Hikari interacting with Claudine and Kaoruko. Karen hasn't been involved at all in the first two, and I expect that to continue since the point of the OVA's looks to be (as I mentioned) to show Hikari warming up to the others. These OVA's are only reinforcing the perfect 10 rating I gave this series by showing even more depth and interaction to make me like the characters even more than I already did.

FOR THE LOVE OF STARLIGHT, CAN WE PLEASE GET A SEASON TWO!? WE ALREADY HAVE A STORY FOR IT, JUST ADAPT THE PLOT OF THE MOBAGE!

Is that "I told you so" about Choco or about the show itself?

If it's about Choco being best girl, then that's no surprise at all. She's a cute, awkward, funny girl voiced by Yukari Tamura. I guessed she would be best girl before I even started. Why wouldn't she be? If it's about the show itself being good, I don't even remember you telling me about this show before I asked about it this week.

I have completed Goblin Slayer.

I haven't been as conflicted about an anime as I have been about this. I find the character design, audio design, OST, and general "feel" of the anime really high quality. I watched the sub and it is well acted. The battles and tactics really reflect a reflexive D&D thinker, and it is really refreshing to see an anime based in a Fantasy setting that is more about tactics and just "what works" over fancy techniques and abilities. Need to kill a large enemy? Lure it over a tripline, have it fall down, stab it in the back of the head. No need for some amazing STABBY DEATH move.

Yet, its overabundance of fanservice and the disappointing shock-value use of sexual assault is really disappointing. Especially since the first episode when it aired did not have a warning about it. My wife, who LOVES anime, was negatively affected by some of the imagery to the point she couldn't watch the rest of the series. It is "triggering" to those who have lived through sexual assault, and there was no warning, no indication that such content would be part of the series.

It seems they learned their lesson, as nothing was as... exploitative throughout the rest of the season, but it was still disappointing.

I will personally watch whatever they do next as I feel everyone deserves to learn from their mistakes. The quality is up there, and if you want a more gritty fantasy setting with an intriguing, oddly complex main protagonist, I'd definitely give it a shot. Just be warned, the first episode is VERY graphic. Like, Berserk 1990's level of graphic.

It is the primary form of televised entertainment I partake in. I dont watch Game of Thrones or Walking Dead. I watch anime.

I dont even have cable, so almost anything TV I do through Netflix.

I roll with Netflix and Hulu, but even then I watch all kinds of stuff on the two of them and not primarily anime. I rarely ever watch an anime as it airs, the big exception is JoJo because JoJo. I get around to anything that seemed cool once it's finished and I can binge it, but that's only usually one or two shows a season. The other thing for me is just that, while I'm pretty fair and am willing to give most shows a chance, I'm just not all to into, I'd probably guess the majority of anime. So for most shows, I really need someone to vouch for it and sell me on it.
