Tiger and Bunny done, so Netlfix is also done. CR already has way too much fucking stuff, and I don't think I've touched Netflix for anything except Castlevania, Live Action Bebop, and Tiger and Bunny for like a year. Time to save up for that fucking sports streaming service in a month.

Watch Wakfu first before you cut it!

I rewatched the first season of Zombie Land Saga today. It was just as good as I remembered, the legendary Yamada Tae is still the best! It's an idol anime obviously, but I like how it explores different genres such as death metal and hip hop in addition to the usual idol fare. It also uses the zombie aspect really well, not just for jokes (though there's plenty of those) but also for the occasional touching moment when the girls encounter their past lives.

Tomorrow I'll watch season two for the first time, hopefully it maintains the same quality.

Watched all this. As is a systematic issue with the OP anime now, in a perfect world this could very easily be cut down to 10 minutes and lose none of the content and be twice as good.

But as is, all things considered, this is indeed all rad as fuck. The minute to minute of this has better presentation than the climax of a lot of the biggest fights in the series.

Some One Piece post-Water 7 thoughts

  • I like all the little vignettes of characters from earlier arcs reacting to the events of Water 7
  • Got introduced to Brooks WAY earlier than I thought, I thought there was this huge gap of time between the other straw hats joining the crew and him appearing. But 1. For all I know, Brooks leaves after this mini arc and only properly joins way later and 2. since I'm reading this manga so quickly, I'm not appreciating how long the story was when it was first released I mean, it may have been like a year between the Luffy/Lucci fight and Brooks showing up for all I know!
  • I can't believe Luffy's dad's name is Monkey D. Dragon. I thought for sure that all of Luffy's family would have a different animal in their name, but Dragon has two!! I guess Monkey D. Garp is the same way... is Garp an animal? I suppose Monkey is their last name. But Ace's name isn't Monkey D. Ace, huh
  • It's funny to think about how different this manga translation is to what I can only assume to be the "accepted" translation from the older the sub/older fan translations of the manga. Zoro/Zolo is an obvious example. I wonder if I'm in a JoJo's situation, like me thinking Lucci's moves are called "Finger Pistol" and "Shave" would be the same as someone thinking Kira's stand is called "Deadly Queen", you know?

I do tend to think of Lucci's moves as "Shigan" and "Soru" but that's just run of the mill translation stuff. There's no excuse for changing JoJo names!

I legitimately cannot find an upload of One Piece OP 1 that isn't the special edition version with sound effects anywhere on the internet. It looks like all the early episodes on Crunchy have had it replaced with the special edition, too.

Am I really gonna have to track down so old ass pirate uploads from like a decade ago?

I mean it didn't use to have ANY sound effects! I have no idea when they went and added the special edition to all the old episode streams.

Hell, maybe it's ALWAYS been like that for the streaming versions. Crunchy and FUNi didn't exist when I was first watching One Piece, I had my fansubbed downloads from back when subbers were creating elaborate customs font animations for every character's attacks.

Ahhhhh choosing you sub group based exclusively on which attack fonts you liked best....good times.

I finished Vampire in the Garden. I went into this really wanting to like it. Unfortunately, I did not. Early on while I was still giving it the benefit of the doubt I thought 'this is fine but it would be better if it had more episodes'. By the end, I was glad it was only five episodes. At least it didn't waste any more of my time. This is still super new so while I won't actually spoil any plot points, I'll spoiler tag more specific thoughts just in case.

The setting was incredibly simplistic, which hurt the central conflict of 'vampires and humans can't live together' because it never really showed why they couldn't. The characters were kind of crappy too, all having very simplistic motivations which never evolved and relationships that weren't explored or earned. The plot meandered through a few situations and then ended without really saying anything. Even the action scenes fell flat.

I was one episode away from finishing Zombie Land Saga but this released at 1 AM in my time zone and I jumped on it right away. I regret that choice immensely.

Fine with me. I felt like it rushed through that flashback and I want way more. Like when and how did he first learn about joyboy? What does he know about him?

Maybe Oda will give them some things to flesh out.

Or they will just make the punch/blast struggle a 5 minute DBZ style thing. Sadly it will probably be that one.

The anime doesn't expand the story with real content, it'll just add more to the stuff already shown or add new details that don't really matter. If we're gonna learn something more it's gonna be another flashback.

I watched the first two episodes earlier, and would currently say everything about it is bad other than the central relationship. It's an extremely messy show (in a bad way). It's from the same guy that brought us Wit's Empire of Corpses https://myanimelist.net/anime/28625/Shisha_no_Teikoku movie a few years back.

Finally getting around to new episodes of Shield Hero and Bookworm. Looks like Billy Kametz was replaced as Naofumi. Not shocking, given he was diagnosed with cancer. Not sure about the new guy yet. Still gonna suck not hearing Kametz while the rest of the cast is the same.

New girl is annoying in how "woe is me" she acts. Fucking hell.

Zombie Land Saga: Revenge aka Season Two was really good! It might even slightly beat the first season, which is saying something because I liked S1 a lot when it was airing. This season helped flesh out Yugiri, who the first season mostly missed, but all the girls had their time to shine both individually and as a group. The episode focused on Tae was also the best, zombie girl is best girl. I liked the direction the plot went towards the end too, it was standard idol fare but done in such a unique way.

I was thinking about it, I like the Love Live animes to varying degrees, but even Sunshine, which is in my top ten of all time, has a few girls I'm kind of meh on. Kanan never really did anything, for example. Meanwhile, I love all seven of the main girls in ZLS. They're all great in their own ways.

I also see that there's going to be a movie at some point! With the way this season ended, I am beyond excited for that.

Also finished Vampire in the Garden. Goddamn this was trash. The worldbuilding was terrible and inconsistent, the characters mostly sucked, the action was mediocre for a movie (Bubble was WAY beyond this), and the story goes in totally blah directions. I think if they wanted to make this good they should've cut out all named characters other than Fine and Momo. None of the others contribute to the movie, and that would've allowed more focus. I could list half a dozen things I hated about this, but I'll just say Fine's reason not to drink blood was laughable. The themes of the movie also made zero sense overall. Blah.

I rewatched Re-Kan today. Other than the ugly yellow subtitles that I couldn't change on my DVD copy, it was just as good as I remembered! Amami Hibiki can see ghosts, but it isn't a horror series like Mieruko-chan. Instead it's a feel-good comedy with plenty of heartfelt moments while dealing with the ghosts. I'm usually a big fan of these cute slice-of-life shows that have a supernatural aspect, and Re-Kan is one of my favorites. Amami is just so genuinely kind that watching her ghostly misadventures is a pleasure. Some of the side characters aren't the most memorable, but none of them drag it down except for Yamada's cop brother who creeps on high school girls. Thankfully he isn't around very much. Otherwise it's just her friends and fun ghosts, plus a perverted cat. I don't usually like pervert characters but turning that archetype into a cat only Amami can understand makes it great somehow.

One of the best parts is her best friend Inoue, though. She's absolutely terrified of ghosts, and seeing her freak out all the time always makes me laugh. One of the best parts of Re-Kan is searching scenes for Inoue cowering in the background. You'd think it would get old but this is my second time through and I still love it!
