been reading the level 2 cheat isekai and MAN this guy spends like half the volume recapping previous events, every single volume. he's even recapping stuff during the epilogue sometimes

this is like the anti-smartphone, which constantly introduces new characters, namedrops old characters, and doesn't recap shit

Man I love how stupid birdie wing is. I think it's my 4th favorite sports anime (haikyuu>blue lock>ippo>birdie wing) but it's very different from the other 3 because it's absolutely absurd despite being golf of all things. Kinda gives me similar energy to keijo despite this not being ecchi.

Kind of annoyed at the latest pokemon episode. I know the original series didn't really care about strength and type matchups that much, but how the hell does a fuecoco beat a rhydon using ember? A rhydon that somehow took out a metagross with ease? And why is seemingly smart badguy using corviknight against charizard instead of his flash fire ceruledge (actually it was hurt by fire before, but it doesn't have weak armor either so whatever) and how did it tank a direct hit flamethrower?

In the first 4 episodes, the pokemon power mostly made sense. The main sprigatito was quite weak until it did some ash's pikachu super powered up leafage that was clearly something extraordinary and not what it could normally do. That didn't happen here though. Also we see girl explorer who has a skarmory (who has quad resist vs grass) use her golduck vs that sprigatito and lose without even using her second pokemon? The bad guy team was actually coming off as pretty competent before this episode. They have good strong pokemon and they are pretty tenacious. If you're unevolved starter that literally JUST learned ember can defeat a rhydon, where else is there to go?

half of pikachu's matchups were ABSOLUTE bullshit, yeah

i think they even outright stated electric was ineffective against rock once which misled the shit out of me, even if it was somehow still colloquially accurate outside of like aerodactyl in gen 1

Yeah but at least pikachu was special. I do remember it losing to a fresh snivy somehow after winning a pokemon league or something similar as the most ridiculous poor power scaling from the series. I just hoped that this reboot would do things differently and it had looked like it was. I had no real complaints with the bad guys or the pokemon in the first 4 episodes. Sprigatito fought that same rhydon and couldn't even tickle it with leafage so the main character had to run. That was great to see it. Meanwhile the stronger trainers pokemon were powerful enough to be causing significant collateral damage. It was awesome. Kind of feels like it's all out the window now though.

Yeah thats the issue though. I don't want par for the course, I wanted better (and it WAS better for the first 4 episodes). So I'm disappointed and I feel like all the stakes just vanished in one episode.

Damn, gundam witch has a new misery target it seems. I hate that they made these choices, but it makes sense. I can't remember how much miorinne knows about aerial but tearing the family apart along with betrayal from the two people she cares about. I'm interested to see how things develop but I wish I could watch it already. I was honestly rooting for aerial to win anyway somehow even though it was clear the writers were going for this angle instead and suletta does need some real character building.

I started gundam witch because people here said it was great. I hate it. Episode 0 was good but then they get to school and a bunch of ridiculous parts of the premise happen. Like president's daughter get abused by lower ranking person's son and the father doesn't care. Settling disputes (including marriage between high schoolers) with dueling in mobile suits is stupid too. I don't expect gundam to be 100% realistic but school life and petty usage of mobile suits is not something I expect to see in gundam. I was expecting some commentary on war. Main character is also annoying.

First season baits you with episode 0 that it's awesome, and then baits you again with episodes 1-10 that it's actually lame. Then shit gets real. Episode 1 of season 2 also baits you into thinking season 2 might go back to disappointing, but it doesn't. I really advise sticking with it till at least the end of season 1. The school is context and character building so it is kind of necessary.

Just caught up on heavenly delusion and damn this show is interesting. It feels so unique with the only thing I can think of feeling kind of similar are the heaven parts being similar to shin sekai yori. The way they just casually give us important information without pointing it out and the character interactions and the just general identity issues and like 10 background mysteries make this show hard to put down. I'm kind of surprised it's not ranked even higher. I feel like 10-15 years ago, this anime would have made a bigger splash but now the community is a lot more mainstream. This feels like something I would have seen on adult swim at like 1:30 am.

Yeah, mildly annoying. They got hacked by same Lain fan that swapped every anime to Lain is Love or whatever it was in the show, which is at least funny, if you've seen that anime. MAL said everything should be fine and able to be restored and that passwords are safe but they are basically scrubbing for backdoors to make sure it's all safe before they put it back online.

Also, caught up on megumin spinoff which is good but not as good as konosuba. Skip and Loafer continues to be really feel good. Oshi no Ko is great. Honestly I'm surprised one of you hasn't found anything to latch onto this season, cause theres a lot of great shows from gundam S2, to vinland saga S2, to skip and loafer, to heavenly delusion, to hell's paradise, to oshi no ko, and demon slayer. And that's just like the S tier shows. This season is great.

Finished the second season of By the Grace of the Gods yesterday. I do like the show, but it feels like the mc is just going along with what everyone else wants and it's bothersome. I hope if there's another season it starts taking a bit of a new direction.

Also, rewatched Koe no Katachi and it's still my favorite anime movie. Kawai is still the worst.

Mega Man Battle Network 3 Tournament next week and I haven't even started the game yet.
Will probably go through White (because 100% chance FoldrBak is banned) and because I never got all 7 stars on White before.

Hopefully I have enough time to at least get a semi-decent folder and get into secret area. I really want to do Snake Rain but I doubt I will be able to source all of the chips in time as that folder depends on YamatoMan.

and every time, i am unable to actually get it to go to the dub. the only language option is japanese.

so i have to go onto the website, watch the dub from there for about a minute, then go back to the app on the tv, force close it, then re-open and go to history and resume from the website.

this is fucking stupid. how do you fuck up this badly

Bro, the preview for next episode of birdie wing showed the next challenger doing a run up happy gilmore swing. This show is hilarious.

Been watching through season 1 of magus bride. It feels very shoujo but it's still been entertaining. It's kind of cool to see a show that has a semi historically accurate view on faeries rather than just saying faeries = pixies. Technically even yokai and cryptids are faeries as well as stuff like elves and dwarves.

Interesting gundam witch episode, mostly just confirming the obvious suspicions. Eri died in the prologue but achieved such a high permet score, all of her consiousness was still within the permet network. Permet is some sort of resource that holds and shares data. Sulletta was a 'replichild" which seems self explanatory. What wasn't super obvious was that the gund bit controlling eris are also replichildren, so they are basically just eri's consciousness copied several times in the permet data storm stored within aerial. Everyone seems united in their cause of removing sulletta from all the plans around quiet zero for her own good which is frustrating to watch, because obviously she's going to get involved again, but perhaps as her own person.

I suspect Miorinne's plan won't go very well, since shadiq and dawn of fold are behind the riots, but who knows at this point.

Been keeping up with the weekly anime but I've been thinking a lot about heavenly delusion. I have a theory for how a lot of things connect.

I think that the heaven segments are 18-19 years before the parts with maru and kiruko and that maru is tokio's son. I also don't think he can use "maru touch" on humans, but that both the girl from episode 8 and the king of hotels are from heaven and part maneater. I suspect Dr. Usami was from heaven (part of why he had advanced electronic know how AND generators and the coin with their logo.

I believe the collapse was caused by heaven trying to engineer humanlike lifeforms capable of surviving some disease or possibly just improving on humanity, since each one has different powers. One of them, ends up going haywire and creating many of the maneaters we see post collapse, including the fish with arms that the one kid drew. I'm still not sure exactly who will be the one to go out of control. It's possible it'll be the guy that drew them, tokio, the black organ left over from the sick kid, or mimihime. I'm kind of leaning towards mimihime. I suspect the AI running the facility wanted this outcome and caused it to happen. Then again, the humans in the facility refer to some destined time and all they do is for that time at which point they will no longer be able to help. Perhaps that time is the collapse.

I haven't put so much thought into a series in quite a while and it's great.

Me up until 2010-2011: Mainly only like action anime. Quit because I did not like K-On of all anime.
Back in 2020 started getting back into Seasonals. Since then I have watched next to no action anime. Main shows that got me back into watching anime were all from KyoAni the studio that made me quit watching anime from week to week.
My taste in anime has completely changed in over 10 years.

i still like anime as much as i always have, but my interests are more specific these days, i guess. there's still plenty of old shit for me to finish even if the current season sucks

there's good isekai out there but if you dislike the common tropes you're gonna have to delve into manga or webnovels/light novels, unfortunately. isekai is """new""" enough (for anime) that mostly only the super popular stuff gets adapted, which are usually super derivative on each other (and especially derivative of SAO).

I'm still holding out that weird but really good shit gets adapted, like that vending machine isekai. anime's recently started tipping its toes in the villainess/noble lady genres which is a step in the right direction considering even when they're isekai they trend towards being of way higher quality
