I noticed in another thread that you're reading Bokutachi no Remake; I started that a couple days ago. I'm about halfway through what's currently out.
Yes I'm all caught up on that. They only have 1 chapter after the anime ended. There is apparently quite a bit more in the LNs.

Holy shit! This weeks 86 was amazing. It was like 15 minutes of well animated, well choreographed, high octane mecha action (does it count as mecha? They are like highly mobile spider tanks). It was so fucking cool, holy shit. I haven't seen action that good in...forever maybe. I mean, the moment to moment wasn't like best of all time, but there was so much of it all at a high quality. Those reginleifs are badass. I am so pumped right now.

Still watching Supernatural, on s11. Think I'm gonna start my Dragon Maid s1 rewatch today though. As for gaming wise, I'm up to level 23 in AssCreed Odyssey. The leveling system is kind of annoying, but overall, pretty fun game. Borrowed Smash, so I'm playing that solo and unlocking things.

This week's mushoku tensei was...not that great actually. Kinda disappointed. Also what kind psychopath delivers mail in their world? The main party is fightin off monsters every 5 minutes on the demon continent. If you can handle them, you got more important stuff to do than deliver mail.

Yeah I've already seen several clips from that stream and they are all gold.

Finally getting my 2nd covid shot tomorrow. It was unreasonably hard to find a doctor that would give me delayed dosing (which I use because of my health conditions). I got it from my main allergy doctor for the first dose and then he canceled once, and then he said actually they ran out of the vaccine and decided to not get anymore, but didn't offer me up any alternative or any other place to get it done. You can't just have like wallgreens do it so we called around other doctors and it took forever to find one that will (that reasonably acted like it was no big deal) but then they canceled and said they weren't getting anymore vaccine either so we had keep looking and find a 3rd doctor thats like an hour away that can do it tomorrow.

Literally all I need them to do is give me 0.05 mgs, wait 30 minutes, give me 0.15 mgs, then wait 30 minutes and give me the remaining 0.3 mgs. That's it. Being sick really makes me want to destroy everything in and around the medicial industry. It's impossible to ever get ahold of anyone and 90% of what they tell you is wrong and a different receptionist/nurse at the same place will tell you different. If you call on 3 different days and ask the same question, you will get 3 different answers all of which are wrong according to the doctor who is probably also wrong but really cocky about it. Well thats if they even answer the phone or call you back. It's insane. Every time I go back I feel like an abused housewife telling myself it can't really have been THAT bad before just to be shocked when it is.

ANYWAY, I'm hoping to binge some chill anime the day after assuming I have the fairly common reaction where you feel like you have the flu essentially. Apparently it lasts longer with people that have my conditions sometimes so it might be more like a week rather than a day but I tolerated the first dose totally fine so hopefully this one won't be too bad.

I picked up some Ultraman Figural bag clips today because Hot Topic had a buy-1-get-2-free deal on clearance (and they only had 4 of them, so I bought 3).

I've never been that into Mongram's Figural stuff -- although the Gremlins ones were cool -- but the armor detail on these makes them look pretty neat. I got Bemular (who I'd been hoping to nab), Dan (I'd have rather had anybody except Dan, but meh -- he's fine on the show, but he's a boring collectible), and... whatever Shinjiro's dad is named. That one isn't labeled (because it's a secret figure) and it's been forever since I saw NF's Ultraman. Apparently it is getting a second season eventually. I remember season 1 ending with a bang when Bemular blows up that bounty hunter's spaceship with that Ultra-ray or whatever

Does anyone here bother with physical copies of anime? I have a few US Blu Ray sets that require a US player, but I already got local copies of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and just ordered some local DVDs for Black Lagoon + Second Barrage. What I might do is offer them to someone here in the right region (maybe free, maybe for shipping cost, I'm unsure) if anyone here still watches them. If everyone here prefers streaming / downloads, I'll just hold onto them for now instead, since shipping is a pain.

Jesus christ I went through all that effort and then some and they wouldn't do it correctly but fortunately it didn't kill me, just gave me chest pains and dizziness. Fuck doctors man.

Anyway, today's finest assassin was pretty solid. I'd say it sits at the lower end of the high tier of isekai around shield hero and slime or so (with stuff like re:zero being the top of high tier and mushoku tensei and konosuba being the entirety of top tier). Definitely a step up from something like evolution fruit.

Lol, ironically it gets much more cringe. For me it straddles the line of barely watchable isekai. It's always one bad episode away from being dropped. At least it's a comedy for the most part and I find it not half as bad as last season's spirit chronicles which is probably the worst isekai I've watched much of.

Decided to watch Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid. It was better than I was expecting and I'm glad it's getting a second part, even if there's no date for it yet. After the first episode, I was like "eh, this is ok", but after a few more episodes it got more interesting.

Think I'll do Villainess next. Gotta rewatch the first season though, so I can remember wtf is going on.

I've still been on a cheap (well, inexpensive, the quality is fine) prize figure kick lately, and saw Taito's Rikka Takanashi figure, which got me curious what else has happened with Love, Chuninbyo (or whatever, I can't fucking spell it), and Other Disasters. I *thought* I missed some part of the original series (or more specifically an OVA) that NF didn't have, but now I'm not sure whether or not I watched the second season, and it's pissing me off. Especially since there's little chance of trying to figure out what I've seen without spoiling stuff.

It's kind of a running theme with anime, since shows can have breaks between seasons, which is why I like watching them years after the fact... although the downside there is that the availability of merch goes to shit if i do decide I really like something and want a collectible from it. (Granted, some properties don't get great collectibles until years later, but that's often when a show develops international appeal or some cult status... or, in the case of older properties, there just wasn't a good collectibles market at the time.)

DeltaBladeX posted...

Yes. And I amusingly bought a used copy of Ouran HSHC when it was still on NF (which it still might be) before proceeding to just rewatch it on NF (although I wound up not rewatching the whole thing, so now I'm not sure if I still want to rank it in my top 25 favorite anime whereas for a while I thought it might have been in my top 10).

With the exception of some games (usually without physical editions or, in the case of Steam, when it's just easier), I tend to stick to physical media for everything.

If everyone here prefers streaming / downloads, I'll just hold onto them for now instead, since shipping is a pain.

Something like that I would probably skip just because I'm big on maintaining my privacy. Black Lagoon is something I've been curious about for over a decade, but nothing super-high on my radar, and then I tried a few episodes of FMA:B when it was on NF (which it might still be) but it wasn't my thing. (I was never super into the previous FMA, and a lot of the stuff I disliked about FMA was still in FMA:B, not to mention B rushed through some story elements I liked in FMA -- Major Hughes plays a much smaller role, for instance).

That and I generally don't do much with BR since my only BR player is my ps3 (and I guess ps4?).

I'm not sure how many unwatched BRs I have, although I have a substantial physical media collection that I haven't touched, largely because I'll see something cheap (or something I've wanted to see) and just not get around to it.

One case-in-point was Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman where I saw some of the DVD sets at a pawn shop while I was waiting for something with my car. I picked up one set, watched a few episodes, went back to buy the others (paying a higher price because the first time I got a discount, and I didn't think to haggle the second time), and then... watched maybe 1-2 more episodes, got distracted by something else, and never went back to it. Plus I think I'm missing one season anyway because, although the pawn shop had all of the seasons, one of the sets looked like it had disc decay (which was how I learned this was a thing) so I didn't buy that one

Was finally in the right mood to watch something less actiony or funny and watched what is out of blue period. It is pretty good...but I still don't understand the appeal of fine art at all. It's ironic to me that the anime art itself looks much better than the fine art in the anime and if you lined up the "good" pieces with the "bad" ones, theres no way I could pick out which ones are which.

The highly motivated character and wanting to find new techniques to express yourself though reminds me a lot of bakuman. It's definitely a solid show but I think I really need to be in the right mood to watch it.

I feel like this season has been one of the rare times where I completely misjudge the season ahead of time and the actual good newcomers were two I didn't even have on my radar while everything I was keeping tabs on ended up being mediocre or worse (only talking about newcomers here). It's not so bad for it to go like this.

This is why sites like myanimelist exist. I can't even imagine trying to keep track of what I've seen without it being in a database format. Hell, before I joined mal I had my own spreadsheet with what I'd seen logged on it and that was only like 70 or so entries iirc. I'd be constantly getting deja vu watching things without a list.

i'd still even count sao season 1 as loosely isekai, honestly (alicization is absolutely isekai). they functionally had to survive in another world that they could not easily return from. it's borderline, but kayaba was trying to artificially force an isekai and kind of succeeded

overlord's unquestionably isekai, it's just that the setting is based on a game (but they are explicitly not within the game), same as log horizon

I could get that from the distributor here, it includes the After Story season as well, but it is NZ$120 + shipping from Australia, a bit more than the $15 for this season.

I understand that the anime went in a completely different direction, and didn't even turn the MC into a ghoul which iirc was how he beat the kitsune... although I guess by the end of the series he becomes a vampire either way? idk, I want to get back to the manga someday, and maybe I'll check out the anime.

idk, there are a lot of series I never finished. And, in general, the start/stop nature of a lot of less-popular anime kinda kills me, particularly when the manga is too tough to get through. For instance, I loved Ghost Hunt but it's a shoujo and iirc something about the format either bugged me or made it hard to read.

Got my Switch at the beginning of this year. Glad I did, as it's a nice replacement to my ds lite.

As for anime, I finished up Fumetsu no Anata e. I went into it blind and it was a nice suprise and I'm glad it's getting a second season. The concept seemed pretty unique too, which was great.

As for games, I'm still mostly playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I really like the world in the game and it looks pretty damn great, especially considering I'm only playing on a regular ps4. I'm up to level 46 so far and I got my spear to level 5 today. In celebration, of my new spear level and skill levels, I went and killed the last two mercenaries to get myself to tier 1. I'm not sure if level 50 is max or not, but it shouldn't take that long to get there to find out.
