Ready for the 2 games? A Metroidvania and a slay the spire cloneI finished watching the last two episodes of Sunshine in the Mirror tonight and thus wrapped up what ended up being my only Summer anime. I did enjoy the ending, but I guess I wanted something else out of the show than what it ultimately was. Also, what has been proving a continual issue with recent Love Live shows, the songs not being on itunes definitely makes them feel less special which is a shame because some of them like the full ending song are a ton of fun. Regardless of the thematic importance tied to it I was most disappointed Lailaps had to give up talking to save the day as she was my favorite character. So yeah, it was a fun show and I’m glad I watched it, but I definitely walked away a bit disappointed.
There’s some time between now and the start of the Fall season and with my big Summer gaming finally done, I’m looking forward to spending more time with anime for a little while. I just got Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation in the mail this week, so I’m planning to rewatch Reflection tomorrow and then finally see Detonation probably the next day. So many explosions in my near future haha.
I’m 100% picking up the Metroidvania! It looks really cool! It got a new trailer today which was neat to see.Ready for the 2 games? A Metroidvania and a slay the spire clone
Just got announced yesterday anyways XDI’m 100% picking up the Metroidvania! It looks really cool! It got a new trailer today which was neat to see.
I haven’t looked into the second one very closely yet so not sure! Haha.
Apothecary Diaries and Tearmoon Empire should be a lot of fun. Former is about an apothecary’s apprentice in the brothel district that gets kidnapped and sold to the emperor’s harem as a servant in the forbidden city(or a fictional equivalent) in medieval China, and she winds up helping people and solving mysteries while working to regain her freedom.I need to figure out what I'm watching this fall. Basically between Ultraman and some anime, I have it set up so I can watch an hour of shows on the treadmill, but I need one more show to fill out 2 days worth of running. Already decided on Undead Unlucky and Spy X Family S2 but nothing else really sticks out to me...
Love how they cajoled Shizuka into joining them lolI am very partial to casual/cheery dancing in animation.
I’m gonna be busy, counting continuing stuff and Netflix animations I’ll be watching like 60 showsNot final since I can be swayed or drop stuff but got my finalized preseason list since stuff starts this week
I tend to drop stuff if it’s Netflix confirmed since I have to wait forever for dubs from them. Hulu stuff is off my list too. So that helps a bitLove how they cajoled Shizuka into joining them lol

Wait, Pluto is getting an anime?! Damn I missed this. Definitely gonna be watching.Just to illustrate how insane the Fall anime season is going to be, it's got:
- sequels to the wildly popular Spy X Family, Dr. Stone, Girlfriend Girlfriend and Eminence in Shadow
- top of the shelf shojo such as Ancient Magus' Bride and Tearmoon Empire
- adaptation of the sequel to Initial D, MF Ghost
- Undead Unluck, an underrated JUMP manga
- Naoki Urusawa, the man behind Monster, finally getting another anime based on his works, Pluto
- Frieren: Journey's End, which should not be watched by anyone who does not want musings on mortality
- the next installment of updated retro classic Captain Tsubasa
- the pinnacle of shitposts that's also somehow one of most wholesome depictions of polycules ever, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really Love You
- And then there's KamiErabi which is an original anime penned by Yoko Taro because this season wasn't stacked enough already
Yes, and it came out of nowhere. It was my first Naoki Urusawa manga and it's still in my top three of his works. I hope the anime catches on!Wait, Pluto is getting an anime?!
Too bad undead unluck is having a Kinnikuman level screwup in lack of adaption revisement. Those first couple chapters needed to be retconned and rewritten.Just to illustrate how insane the Fall anime season is going to be, it's got:

No way they were gonna do that to a currently running series, even if I do agree that the first couple of episodes are likely going to be rough for newcomers.Too bad undead unluck is having a Kinnikuman level screwup in lack of adaption revisement.

Man I think I read the first chapter back when it first came out and dropped it pretty much immediately, but I've heard some positive things about the series recently with the anime coming up so maybe I'll have to actually give it a shot.Wanting to recommend Undead Unluck is like the most frustrating things ever
Those first 8-ish chapters are toxic waste, and then it completely disavows all of the bad stuff, cleans up its act, and ends up one of the freshest, pure fun shonen series in recent memory
Like, it ends up having one of the best female leads in all of shonen, and going off the first episode you'll probably think I'm insane for saying that, but it's true, dangit
This is the new series? Did it leak or something? I'm confused. Sounds good though.So saw one episode (and a half lol, stream cut off and I was rewinding it) of Castlevania. I'm floored by what was there. Richter Belmont has like so much freaking charisma (he's actually already better than Trevor) and the drama works really well overall. The action looks amazing and I feel the budget for how expressive the characters are went up quite a bit. The voice acting is A+++ too and they actually held back quite a bit on the swearing compared to the previous series, which is welcome. Anyone by chance knowing where I can finish the second episode? Any backups of the stream that was made?
A little explanation. Netflix did a stream (they didn't archive it) where they showed the first three episodes of the new series alongside the sneak peeks of other animated shows. I was behind so I only got to 1.5 episodes heh.This is the new series? Did it leak or something? I'm confused. Sounds good though.
Nice to see you tooI need to follow this thread. I don’t know shit about anime and it’s starting to be a lil’ embarrassing. I am going to try some mecha anime recommended to me in the Armored Core VI thread later tonight though! Excited.
Nice to see you, @Hero of Hyrule!
This is hilariously accurate. From the first couple of chapters I thought it would be an outdated action shonen trying to draw eyes with blood and sexual harassment.Like, it ends up having one of the best female leads in all of shonen, and going off the first episode you'll probably think I'm insane for saying that, but it's true, dangit
Don’t blame ya. But it absolutely does get better. The story takes a completely different trajectory from you would expect from first impressions.Man I think I read the first chapter back when it first came out and dropped it pretty much immediately, but I've heard some positive things about the series recently with the anime coming up so maybe I'll have to actually give it a shot.
Assuming you mean the premiere plus the Akane arc?though it’s largely that off the back of 3-4 episodes
Hell yeah.I am going to try some mecha anime recommended to me in the Armored Core VI thread later tonight though!
Yup exactly. Those episodes (especially episode 6) probably rank among the best TV I have ever seen, they’re incredible.Assuming you mean the premiere plus the Akane arc?
Those really were the high points of the series haha.Those episodes (especially episode 6) probably rank among the best TV I have ever seen, they’re incredible
Absolutely. And I watched the Akane episodes when I wasn't in a particularly good place mentally myself (didn't know what I was getting into when I started them lol) so they hit real hard.Those really were the high points of the series haha.
Heh I really should give Digimon a go. Also posted elsewhere but we got the trailer!On the Etemon arc of my Digimon rewatch, I forget how often they use the “Chosen Children think they’re being given hospitality but it’s a trick” plotline lol
I’m enjoying it but I’m definitely looking forward to getting to the Vamdemon arc as when that’s when it gets really good
The phoenix is the best characterFamily Circumstances of the Witch 1 + 2
Honestly just decided to try it out because Nana Mizuki is one of the leads. Surprised it's two episodes right away but, the show's kind of trash. Good Opening song by Nana Mizuki and the Ending is cute song by Angela (singer of the Hamefura's openings). This seems it would be an amusing image to use though.
In Love with the Villainess 1 (Dub)
It's a very strong episode with the dub actresses doing a great job already. Rae is great and Claire is doing great reactions. Hoping they adapt the best parts well. Surprised they included a bit about Misha in the OP since that doesn't get touched on for some time.
Fuck me dead. This looks so good.
