This month's chapter of DBS: Vegeta embarrassed once again
This month's chapter of Boruto: Kawaki gets bludgeoned

Good month for beatdowns.

---

I am still waiting for DB Super to come back.

Let me know when Super gets to the GT era and canonizes Baby.

Hopefully never. All of GT can stay fanfiction

Still equally fanfiction with super.

Notice how they keep getting characters in games!

---

Its basically only because Gogeta and SS4s were popular. Virtually everything else from GY is loathed

when are we getting Mastered Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan Mystic Gohan

---

When the heroes finally face El Grande Padre.

---

If anything it would happen in the manga first since its writer actually seems to care about Gohan vastly more than anyone else involved with DB has in centuries

Seeing Higurashi onlys confused/upset about this stuff in Higurashi Sotsu, lol.

If you though we were going to dive into this Bern/Lambda transformation ending route for Rika and Saroko and NOT get little girls having magical battles in another dimension, you were a FOOL.

---

unsurprisingly they announced Season 6 at the end of the last episode of Season 5

I guess if you didn't watch the Demon Slayer movie, you don't need to now.

---

That's...incredibly lame.

Also kind of baffling since the movie was so enormous, not like anyone who cares missed it.

I have to imagine that it's due to production delays. Also does this mean the actual season two new content is just a cour and a half? Bad.

---

On the flip side turning canon arcs into movies you're required to see between anime seasons is also bad.

---

You're right! I said that back when it was announced.

So Demon Slayer just taking a big L here.

An enormously popular and hugely profitable L.

---

Meh. Way to be HIDIVE. Wanted to rewatch Big O, but they only have season one....

Heatguy J rewatch then

---

I got that super awesome Big O bluray box set. One of my favorite collectibles.

Sadly the original theme has been completely scrubbed from modern releases. I have not looked into it, but I assume for Queen bullshit.

---

Aww man. That was an epic opening.

I was planning on re-watching it to do a YouTube podcast for it. Then again, rewatch something enough, it is ingrained in memory.

---

I mean honestly I'm shocked we even got the original theme when it came over in the first place! A different time I guess. Can't imagine it would even air to begin with nowadays.


---

I had a feeling they might make the movie the first buncha episodes. Tbh I'm fine with it though, I like the series being self-contained. I guess it just means the entertainment district arc will be a cour and a half? I didn't think it could be stretched to two.

---

We're almost done with Summer and I only watched 1 show. Didn't even really give anything else a chance!

Anything stand out at all that kept it going the whole season?

---

In the end MHA Season 5 saved itself with the My Villain Academia mini arc. Rooting for those guys to achieve their goals.

---

...just how much did they shorten MVA?

---

Just watching it without seeing it in the manga yet I did feel like it was maybe missing some content. I just hit the beginning of MVA yesterday and it opened with a scene that was never in the anime XD

---

Cutting content in the same season that gave us a bikini episode and Endeavor sitting in a chair flashbacking.

---

Selkie episode was cool sorry you're a sad individual

I'm actually very behind right now because work has been stopping me from watching anything

---

I'd be sad if my favorite side character was used in a filler episode instead of real stuff!

---

Depending on who you're talking about you're either getting extra content for a side character that already gets a bunch of real stuff (Froppy and Uraraka) or content for someone who doesn't get much anyway, either way you're literally getting more for your favorite! I know you like to complain about MHA but man

---

Theres our Hatsune Miku anime.

Game is great BTW. The English version has already been announced to release sometime by the end of the year.

I gotta be honest, I'm not exactly up to date but I've struggled to find people NOT complaining about MHA.

hopefully that 1 show was Kageki Shojo
---

That 1 show was Higurashi and there is a single episode left!

But hey, I'll take that as a recommendation.

Its that time again so HERE WE GO

Demon Slayer S2 - Honestly not too sure I want to watch this. The show looks pretty, but the main cast is not very good or interesting at all which really hurts a shounen series. I mean who wants to watch a show full of characters as good as a background character in Naruto

Jobless Reincarnation S2 I think thats what the title of this one is, but I give so little fucks I cant even be bothered to check. Never saw the first season, but CLEARLY sounded like AoTE material with MC being a creeper.

Komi Cant Communicate - Girl wants to make 100 friends. Wait a minute isnt this a repackaged Hitoribocchi? Can I get more of that instead??

Jojo Stone Ocean - Fuck yeah more Jojo even if part 3 was the last time I was super hype. Maybe this will be more to my liking than 4 and 5 were. Who knows. Shame it starts so late though.

Platinum End - 12 humans battle to become the next god of the world. Hmm that sounds awful familiar too.

86 S2 - Still havent seen the first.

Mieruko-chan - Comedy about a girl who can see ghosts and tries to ignore them. Could be amusing so well see.

takt op.Destiny - What a fucking dumb title. Anyways its about girls fighting with the power of music it sounds like. More rehashed ideas.

The Worlds Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in a Different World as an Aristocrat - He gets reincarnated into a world with magic and surrounded by girls into him aka we got ourselves a generic sounding isekai harem formula.

Worlds End Harem - There are 5 billion women to every 5 men in this series because of a virus that killed almost every male in the world. LMAO

To be continued.

There's a lot to unpack in about half of those statements, but I'm just gonna let it go.

Gonna take me Maximum Effort to get through this chart

Trivia: This one's from the author/artist duo behind Death Note and Bakuman. The manga also ended last year which I think is generally a positive for pacing/continuity?

The Worlds Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in a Different World as an Aristocrat - He gets reincarnated into a world with magic and surrounded by girls into him aka we got ourselves a generic sounding isekai harem formula.

Got it in one.

At the pace the series has been going ever since the second time skip I figured this might be the case. Taking the average arc length into account it might be over by mid 2022

The Faraway Paladin - MC is raised by 3 undead people and eventually wanders off into the world to become a Paladin. Honestly the description has me interested.

Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside - MC leaves the heros party to open a pharmacy and an adventurer girl from his past asks to move in with him. Well that doesnt sound very interesting.

My Senpai Is Annoying - Romantic comedy where main girl is annoyed by her senior, but falls for him anyways. Thanks to the art he looks way older and taller than her though. Like a wrestler with a middle school student.

Visual Prison - Vampires perform visual kei is definitely not something I am expecting to be interested in.

World Trigger S3 - Will probably never get back to this series.

The Moon, Laika, and the Bloodsucking Princess - Space race with vampires. Vampire girl being used to test various conditions expected in space and MC there to oversee her training. Ehh not sure it sounds all that interesting, but well see I guess.

Taisho Otome Fairy Tale - An accident completely cripples MCs right arm so his dad disowns him and buys him up with a young teen bride.doesnt say how old MC is in description, but with the girl being like 13-15 range Id hope he isnt 18+ or yikes

Sakugan - It sounds a little interesting other than how stupid the character names look. Memenpuu & Gaganbaa? Those are just weird names.

Restaurant to Another World S2 - Never saw S1

The Vampire Dies in No Time - Comedy about a vampire hunter who thinks the MC (a vampire) kidnapped a bunch of kids, but it turns out the vampire is a big wuss and the kids just use his house as a playground. Could be amusing.

Restaurant To Another World (the few episodes I saw) was "D&D characters going to a cafe after their adventures for food porn."

It's fine, but I don't know how much it changes it's formula after I dropped it 5 eps in.

---

Restaurant to Another World was total garbage. Worse than most regular isekais.

My waifu nomination topic made me watch quintuplets or whatever by nominating 3 of them and after episode 1 I have decided they didn't nominate the best one smh

---

The correct answer is all five.

One of them literally drugged the MC episode one.

Not cool tbh

---

RIP Golgo 13 creator Takao Saito. Never read his works, but I thought it was amazing he worked on the same series for over 50 years and it seems as per his wishes it will continue without him.

I overhauled my anime queues for Crunchyroll and Funimation today (a little too much I think. I picked pretty much anything that said "Dub" in it...)

Anyway, to my surprise, Emma: A Victorian Romance was listed in Funimation's catalog. I remember getting a disc way back during Netflix's DVD days that only had a sub version from Nozomi Entertainment. I was pleasantly surprised Funi had an English version. Emma was one of those properties that always gave me a smile when reading the manga. Just a subtle, enjoyable romance read. It just was fun for some reason. The anime version is exactly as I'd want to be: charming, slightly stilted and awkward, but enjoyable. The fact it has a New York based dub cast is...unexpected. I know New York did dubs, but at about the same frequency as Viz/Canada...as in never.

I kinda needed a softer, lighter show after some of the stuff I'd been watching lately (Ergo Proxy, Land of the Lustrous, etc).

---

I beleive Emma's dun is pretty recent? It was a Kickstarter I think, or something similar. It was being promoted a lot.

damn, I watched a little of one of the newer animes. It was pretty cool, I could see how their could be a million stories of this guy's total badassary.
