Funimation finally got the Fruits Basket dub running again... I missed this precious dork.

I remember my little sister really being into that years ago (must have been an older version, this was like around 2004), and she had me watch some of the episodes with her. The only things I really remember are the orange haired guy being able to turn into a cat and the gray haired guy changing into a rat.

Yeah, the original Fruits Basket aired back in 2001 and apparently it had so many differences from the manga that the author of the manga actually hated the original anime. This new reboot stared airing last year and is going to not only cover the entire manga's story, but stay closer to it than the original anime as well. Tons of fans who watched the original are saying that this reboot is blowing it out of the water too, and even though I never read the manga or watched the original series myself, I've been watching this reboot and it's been really good.

The title D-Frag makes me think of a frag grenade but I'm guessing it has nothing to do with any weapons.

I watched the first episode of Mai-Hime. First episode was fairly generic and not really very interesting. I'll give it one or two more episodes before I stop watching unless someone has seen it and can vouch for it.

its generic because of its age. regardless, it did madoka before madoka was a thing.

I have to give Tamayomi credit where credit is due: I'm loving how much thought they put into the baseball side of the story instead of just using the cute girls aspect to prop it up. In this one episode alone, I heard more actual baseball terminology and strategy discussed than I heard probably throughout the entirety of Cinderella Nine or Taisho Baseball Girls. Unlike those two shows, Tamayomi actually feels like a baseball anime and not just a "cute girls doing cute things" show where the cute thing just so happens to be baseball, and that alone makes it more enjoyable for me than either Cinderella Nine or Taisho Baseball Girls were.

In terms of fun factor and how much I'm personally enjoying it, this is near the top of my list for this season. It's just a shame that the crappy production values are holding it back from being a great anime from an objective standpoint.

Rak pretty much stays the best character. Well the main trio is always awesome to see no matter what. It's great to see a guy take things at his own pace vs every other character who's taking the entire situation super seriously lol. The fact that the main trio are probably some of the most lighthearted people in the series really helps the narrative

Finished a playthrough of the new Sakura Wars game. Would recommend to anyone that is a fan of the series. Especially since only two games are localized. All of the hilarious cheesiness is included.

Don't know if I'll ever platinum it though. An Awful Koi Koi minigame and getting an S rank on every single battle is too tall of an order.

It has a brand new cast with no spoilers of the previous game so it is a fair choice to get into the series. There are some cameos, such as the manager being one of the main girls from the first game and there are collectable bromides that show cg's from the previous game. But I haven't played most of the games myself. I got into the series with So Long my love on the Wii, then I went back and played the original game and the second game using a questionable translation guide.

The biggest difference with this game is that its no longer a turn based battle system, instead using a musou style battle system. It works but I do prefer the turn based system.

Something to know about Sakura Wars is its cheesy. VERY cheesy. Anime tropes up to eleven. But that's part of what I love about it. The cheese makes me laugh.

I would recommend it and So Long my love on the Wii. The current game is expensive since it just came out, so if its possible to get ahold of the wii game, I would get ahold of it to see if the series interest you. Or wait until the new game drops in price if you are uncertain.

So I started the other backlog show that I planned on watching. It was quite the mood whiplash going from something dark and serious like Noir to...

https://i.imgur.com/71TSyLn.gif

...whatever the goddamn fuck Regalia is. Seriously, just in the first three episodes alone, this show has drama, comedy, political intrigue, lolis, comfy slice-of-life moments, badass mecha/tokusatsu fight scenes, and semi-incestuous yuri teasing. It's insane. Based on first impressions, the story seems like an absolute mess and the show itself feels like it's trying to do too much at once. But at the very least, the characters and slice-of-life moments are fun and the fight scenes (at least so far) have been badass and really well-animated. We'll see how it goes from here.

That's old news. Like, very old. The issue was resolved mere weeks after it was brought up.
The series hasn't been getting new releases because the author has been pretty sick. Heard recently that he's been getting well enough to start writing again, though.

Two of my all-time favorite anime franchises, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Symphogear, are having a collaboration event in (the Japanese version of) Symphogear's mobile game, and it's a dream crossover that fans of these franchises have been wanting for several years. So many of the best parts of Symphogear were inspired by Nanoha's success (magical girls mixed with mecha, badass girls violently beating friendship into enemies, Nana Mizuki's glorious singing voice putting the franchise on the map) that this collaboration is almost like an old master coming out of retirement to fight in battle alongside their younger apprentice for the first time.

And hey even if the crossover of the century is only on mobile for now, maybe the reaction will be a kick in the pants for Seven Arcs, Bandai and Satelight to do something more involved. Super Heroine Chronicles 2 perhaps?

Yep, it's dead in the water already. I'm tempted to start playing the JP version for this crossover.

At least the other gacha game I've been playing that had a Nanoha crossover (Magia Record) is still going strong.
