second hand for me personallyIf I were to throw out a recent underapreciayed fave, I will always recommend Muteking the dancing hero
I’m not that crazy. It’s been 2 years since that pic. I mainly do sales tho

I dropped the manga during the hiatus that happened during ShibuyaProbably gonna drop JJK after this season. It's been something I've been mostly watching on the treadmill but it's lacking in meaningful characterization or emotion to complement the high-octane action. The Shibuya arc got a ton of hype but I've been feeling pretty disappointed by it, and I don't consider myself to be particularly snobbish about battle shonen series. I dislike dropping series I've started but no point in engaging sunk cost fallacy.
The manga becomes way more episodic around these sections, and as somebody else said earlier, future seasons would run into the same problems, and worse.Getting back into anime. I swear I always take huge breaks. Continuing Spy x Family Part 2. It's definitely a bit worse than the first part, but I'm still enjoying it.
How can you call it chill, that elf blew a kiss onscreen. What a bawdy move! Jokes aside, Frieren has been an incredible adaptation.Also, watch Frieren, you cowards! Very chill anime (generally)
The show’s great at linking Frieren’s past and current traveling parties. Episode 14 is probably one of the purest examples with how it drew parallels between the Fern-Stark and Himmel-Frieren pairings.Frieren is really unlike any show I've seen in recent memory with how it captures that sense of wistful, bittersweet nostalgia. It's a strangely comforting show.
Yeah, I don’t think the anime will end at a good stopping point. I can only hope a second season has already been secretly greenlit, because otherwise… who thought it would be a good idea to kneecap the adaptation like thisCaught up on last week's and today's episode of In Love With The Villainess and woof, dunno where we can possibly go from here in just one more episode. If this doesn't get another season, light novels here I come.
Show about to end on the Berserk eclipse?Yeah, I don’t think the anime will end at a good stopping point. I can only hope a second season has already been secretly greenlit, because otherwise… who thought it would be a good idea to kneecap the adaptation like this
Never actually watched the Berserk anime, but yeah that’s the sort of terrible it’s gonna feel likeShow about to end on the Berserk eclipse?
I will say someone in the source material comments on the r/anime thread for this episode seems optimistic, so that's at least something.Yeah, I don’t think the anime will end at a good stopping point.

Couldn't that have the opposite effect? If the anime overly ties things up in a nice bow in one episode it can risk feeling forced and contrived how a happy ending comes out. If that's what happened in the novels I don't fault the anime, but I'm surprised by how much anxiety this show is causing 1 episode from its finale.I will say someone in the source material comments on the r/anime thread for this episode seems optimistic, so that's at least something.
LmaaaaooooShow about to end on the Berserk eclipse?
I've started Undead Unluck expecting a cutesy comedy or a rather run off the mill battle shounen... but this show just keeps on subverting my expectations, it's a lot of fun! I'm watching with a couple friends week to week and basically every other week someone says "okay this just got a lot more interesting"Episodes 9 and 10 are finally showing what Undead Unluck is all about. It's been a blast reliving the manga and being able to note all the details and foreshadowing now that I know about later events. Plus, David Production is killing it with their animation and especially sound design. It sucks that UU is in Hulu jail, but anyone who can try it out, should!
Undead Unluck I feel should also be super interesting for gamers, due to how the story/plot works.I've started Undead Unluck expecting a cutesy comedy or a rather run off the mill battle shounen... but this show just keeps on subverting my expectations, it's a lot of fun!

I’m loving it. It’s a tangled web of conspiracies, and unraveling the threads is so satisfying.11 episodes into Under Ninja and I still don't know what to think about this anime.
I've been enjoying it a lot. Just a good, fun show with likable characters.Episodes 9 and 10 are finally showing what Undead Unluck is all about.

I don't think I've bounced off a manga harder then I did delicious in dungeon
I really liked Tsukimichi and the dub is solid. There’s also this hilarious inversion of his main companions beingI'll be continuing The Apothecary Diaries and Frieren next season. Will probably drop Shangri-La Frontier. I liked it at first but at this point I feel like I'm forcing myself to keep up with it.
New stuff I'm pretty sure I'm going to watch is The Dangers in My Heart s2, Dungeon Meshi, and Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic. I think A Sign of Affection, 7th Time Loop, and Sengoku Youko are generally well-liked source material so I'll probably check out the anime for those even though I don't know much about them.
I'm interested in Tsukimichi but I'll have to watch the first season before and see how I like it. I watched the first two seasons of Classroom of the Elite earlier this year and thought it was sometimes entertaining/sometimes obnoxious so I'll probably check out the new season of that. I may try to catch up with Undead Unluck at some point this season too.
Dai is a lot of fun. It's not the most original premise or super subversive... but it has a lot of heart and a genuinely fun cast. It knows what it is and isn't ashamed of that Also pretty good production values, proving that Toei has some really talented people working for them!I’ve continued to watch Dragon Quest Dai these past 2.5 weeks as I’m determined to finally finish it (perhaps before the year ends?). I hit a really good stretch with the final battles with Hadlar and his royal guard so I got especially hooked today where I watched seven episodes. The final battle there and the stuff after it was awesome. I especially enjoyed the Avan Cross Strash, the Giga Strash, and Hadlar’s multiple final dying moments. I ended tonight on episode 75 which has the fourth ending theme so I know I’m definitely in the final stretch now.
Yeah! It’s reliably a ton of fun and well put together all around. The big moments all land as they should which is always cool. Great show!Dai is a lot of fun.

Obviously you make a trilogy of movies like the rumors for Demon Slayer's final arc.I've started to catch up with the Manga of JJK and I have no idea how they're gonna handle the next couple arcs tbh. Like, the whole Culling Game arc is just a massively convoluted tournnament arc that doesn't even have a real cut-off point. Though given next season won't be until 2025, I could see them maybe waiting for everything to wrap up cause I legit think there's not all that much story left at this point.
That part of the show absolutely sucks. Does nothing but take away from the races.though the weird MF Angels stuff is pretty offputting
I'm honestly interested in how the anime will tackle it. It's a daunting task, to be sure.I've started to catch up with the Manga of JJK and I have no idea how they're gonna handle the next couple arcs tbh
Yeah, that streak of battles was super good. Hadlar himself is phenomenal. Grows from being a maniacal overlord to genuinely terrifying villain with unbreakable conviction.I hit a really good stretch with the final battles with Hadlar and his royal guard so I got especially hooked today where I watched seven episodes
How are we at a new season of anime already?!Prelim as always. And forgot to keep Frienen on there. But here we are

Ideally some of the set up for all of that would be simplified or greatly deemphasized in some way so the fights and character moments get to shine. Easier said than done though.I've started to catch up with the Manga of JJK and I have no idea how they're gonna handle the next couple arcs tbh.

For what it's worth, the MF Angels were an editorial mandate. Shigeno-sensei himself only wanted to focus on the racers.I half expected, half hoped that the author would tackle that topic head on and show how exploitative it is but sadly everything involving Ren and the angels is just weird and creepy
I hope that's the case. They can't translate all the details about the setup 1:1 anyway, it just wouldn't work in anime format.Ideally some of the set up for all of that would be simplified or greatly deemphasized in some way so the fights and character moments get to shine.
