Don't think I mentioned it in here, but I read through Hanebado a few weeks back. Pretty good manga! The early parts have a lot of weird comedy and fanservice that doesn't work very well, but the author forgets about that and makes it a lot more serious after a couple volumes. The later content is mostly great, so it's too bad we won't get more anime to cover it. I did like the anime version more, though. I think it did better at portraying Ayano's evil style, and it had less Connie. The end of the manga seems to think that the reader cares more about Connie than most of the main characters for some reason, but she was never particularly interesting to me, and didn't really earn her place in the conclusion.

Yeah I have similar thoughts. The anime started with the tone of the later manga and I found that more enjoyable. Really wishing for a S2, tho that'll almost certainly never happen.

Sadly it's not based on what I've seen either yeah. Hopefully it doesn't take too long tho.

Symphogear AXZ beated. The first half was pretty weak, honestly. Probably the weakest part of any Symphogear. I think the main culprits were the villains and the stakes. It felt like nothing meaningful happened in any of the episodes, and the series' villains were pretty crap (the weakest group of the first four seasons, I'd say). I don't think the villains really got better (though they get less stupid later on, so that was good), but the show kinda pulled it together in general. Stakes felt higher, and the last battles were fun, and there was a fun recurring theme of pairing up characters who weren't usually together which made things feel more fresh.

The show kinda feels like it's running out of steam in general though, since each season is kinda the same thing over and over again, and it feels like the good guys should be way more powerful than the bad guys at this point considering what they've accomplished in earlier seasons. I'm a few episodes into the final season, which mostly feels like it's trying harder and it's more enjoyable because of that, but the villain group is still lame, unfortunately.

No showings close enough to me to justify trying to fight rush hour traffic on a weeknight, though.

If it were on a weekend or mid-day or something without urban rush hour I'd have gone (or may have gone tomorrow), but I'm pretty sure I'd spend at least 25% (At a generous estimate) longer in traffic trying to get to/from a theater than I'd spend actually watching the movie and fuck that.

Watched four episodes, and I think I'm dropping Given. The pacing is insanely slow. Feels like nothing ever happens. Just kinda boring most of the time. The first episode was the best one, since they played a song and did a good job with the performance. I dunno, maybe they blew their budget there.

Apparently, since this bundle is the first I've heard of it too.

Not interested in it though, because I already have them all in physical form.

Well I either missed that or forgot about it rip.

EDIT: But not actually rip cause now I'm totally spending $20 to get them all and prolly would have spent more earlier if I remembered.

Fresh out of "oh shit reg what are you doing?", I watched Yuri!! On Ice.

It was a very solid show, but it absolutely did not live up to the hype and love it got while airing. The music was very good, and the style was solid, but nothing else really got good until the second half. Then in the second half they introduced a bunch of cool character designs and gave them minimal screentime or development. (Contrasting the first half where Russian Yuri was good, Victor was fine, and everybody else was bleh)

Most notably on the character front, I felt Victor's character was held back by his relationship with Yuri. Could've been really great, but most of his interactions had to be centered around the most boring thing in the cast. I think JJ was probably the best/most entertaining character overall and would absolutely watch the hell out of a series that is him competing with Victor.

Probably a 7.5 or 8/10 overall. Firmly in the realm of good but not spectacular.

They arent convincing me.

Like even if we only have 3-5 arcs left I have trouble believing they will get through all in that time. Unless the Marines just dont put up a fight when Luffy gets the One Piece and just let him and his allies/Rev army win.

I have a feeling Luffy is about to beat the shit out of Kaido and Big Mom joins the Straw Hats after marrying Sanji

then they go to Raftel and find out One Piece was the friends they made along the way, oh and that's where Shanks is buried (he was killed at the Reverie) so we get a scene of Luffy returning his hat to end the manga (this last arc was finished by multiple artists because Oda died)

It being popular I couldn't care less about. I feel like that show was decently popular while it was airing.

The show's production being a total disaster and the plot progression being so hilariously repetitive were my gripes. Though I still remember the very short surprisingly impressive out of place CG moments.

The concept is fun enough though if they can do it right!

Jujutsu Kaisen could definitely work better as an anime than it does as a manga if it gets a good adaptation. Just really hard to get over the overall feeling of genericness, but a good director could make it shine.

I read that the initial concept was just a story about the Rat in the ending. No idea why they thought it'd be cool to show the rest of it when it was so telegraphed what would happen.

Watched Granbelm. Which was a mistake. Oh well. It was mildly competent for most of it, and didn't have too many flaws (other than Anna being super annoying), but a lot of it didn't make too much sense and the battles were generally boring. I can see why it flopped.
