Is it just me, or has anyone else's anime intake taken a drastic downturn ever since vtubers became a thing. Ever since I started following "interactive anime girls", I don't find myself watching nearly as much traditional anime as I did in the past.

I hadn't watched much anime in recent years due to mostly reading VNs which kind of filled the anime gap for me. Now though as of the past year or so I'm starting back up, and this is like the first season in a while that I'm watching newly airing anime.

Vtubers personally aren't really my thing, I've seen maybe 15 minutes total of content from all Vtubers, mostly from people linking me funny moments from them or something.

Nah, mostly because I just don't have the type of time or schedule that accommodates investing time into hololive. Ive never actually watched any Vtuber live stream. Usually it'll be in bits and chunks on YouTube.

If anything has affected how much anime I watch it'd probably be Manga and LNs/WNs. I used to be a strictly anime only guy, but I've since refined my tastes and also got really impatient with waiting for episodes lol

I've been watching less and less anime for a few years now, I think? Now it's usually just 1-2 series followed week-by-week per season, plus the long-running stuff I still follow all the time like Kamen Rider and Yokai Watch.
Getting into vtubers early last year did make me read less novels and manga though... but I still buy new stuff at the same rate, so now I have a bit of a backlog built up.

Nope. I sampled V-Tubers a bit, but I only rarely watch their full videos and just watch subtitled clips every one in a while. My seasonal anime watching has gone down the past two seasons, but that's because of a lack of good anime that interests me.

I barely even watch any anime at all, so vtubers (which I'm not into either) have had zero impact on that.

@Caelthus you kept bitching at me to watch Combatants Will Be Dispatched, and I guess I'll be giving it a shot sooner than I thought. Funimation announced a dub premiering tomorrow and posted a sneak peak of the first part of episode 1, so I'll watch it that way.

I know we seem to be hearing Monica Rial just about everywhere these days, but at least it's rare for her to play the "sarcastic deadpan girl" archetype like she's playing this time. Usually she's more the "overly energetic cutesy girl" or "annoying shitlord girl" archetype.

I have never been so angry yet simultaneously so excited at an anime than I was during episodes 8 and 9 (the rain game) in One Outs. The baseball fan in me was absolutely disgusted at how Toua turned that game into an absolute mockery of the sport with at least half a dozen rules being broken but the anime fan in me was still cheering it on the whole time because the mind games were so intense.

I feel so conflicted.

I'm surprised you haven't watched it already, it's the same author that wrote that Animal Wrestling Isekai and Konosuba. Only it's about a low ranking grunt from an evil organization.

The synopsis I read didn't seem interesting to me at all, and I actually didn't know it was by the Konosuba and Kemono Michi author until recently. It took me learning that, me already dropping five other shows this season (with two more still on the fence), weeks of Caelthus' constant bitching, and it getting a dub for me to finally watch it... and after all that, the first episode I watched today was honestly just mediocre. I even re-watched the episode subbed to see if it was just a bad dub not doing it justice, but the Japanese version was even less funny to me.

I'll give it a couple more episodes, but it's already not off to a good start.

Out of Konosuba, Kemono Michi, and Combatants I would say that Combatants is definitely the weakest. It has more misses than it does hits.

Watched Lupin the Third The First (the CG movie) earlier this evening. The CG was nice to look at but the movie was only alright actual content-wise. Pretty crazy over the top. Lupin disguising himself as literal Hitler was pretty unexpected.

The only Lupin I had really seen prior to this was the Castle of Cagliostro movie and the episodes that used to air on Adult Swim back in the early 2000s, so not sure how over the top the series typically gets. I watched the dub for this movie and I'm pretty sure they got the original dub cast back for this one, at least Lupin was for sure the same.

So I've been watching Odd Taxi. Quirky little show that I've actually really come to enjoy, but I just barely learned that the MC is voiced by Natsuki Hanae who voices Tanjiro from Demon slayer. Holy shit this guy has some fucking range.

Speaking of anime possibly getting games...

I'm 99% sure this is fake, but I would sell my soul for the 1% chance of a Symphogear video game made by Koei Tecmo actually happening.

To be fair, Synphogear is probably the easiest series to see as a muso game since it has a lot of fodder.

There's a lot of potential playable characters with wildly different weapons and fighting styles too. Just the nine Symphogear users shown in the anime (Hibiki, Tsubasa, Chris, Maria, Kirika, Shirabe, Kanade, Miku, and Serena) allow for like 20 different possible movesets through various alternate forms. Throw in villains like Carol and capable side characters like Genjuro and you could make a roster of 30+ characters even without digging into the alternate universe stuff seen in the XDU mobile game.

Plus, as you said, there's dozens of different types of Noise they could use as enemies, plus boss battles against giant Noise or villain characters.

They do/did one thing really well, Mystery Dungeon.
And visual novels I reckon.
Action RPG might be a bit beyond their usual pace <_<

Went back and started the original Nanoha anime, since I've only ever seen the movie adaption of season 1.

I enjoy the art style and animation of that era of anime. The early to mid 2000s or so.

I finished Kaguya-Sama S2. I disliked Ino a bit less after hearing her backstory, but I still don't like her overall and I thought she added very little to the show, so Hayasaka remained best girl until the very end. However, Ishigami got catapulted up to best boy after hearing his backstory and his smile must be protected at all costs. The second season was better than the first, and my score for the whole show would be a 9/10.

Bushiroad owns NJPW as well as a bunch of card game, music, and anime IP's, so they've had a few different NJPW cameos in various anime. Hiroshi Tanahashi is going to be in today's episode of Cardfight Vanguard Overdress, which made me remember this past one with Okada. There was also another Tanahashi appearance in Revue Starlight's chibi short spin-off, plus a Togi Makabe cameo in the V series of Cardfight Vanguard.

Oh, and Okada married Bushiroad's top idol, Suzuko Mimori. So there's another Bushiroad/NJPW connection.
