Summer Anime 2022 thoughts.
Starting with My Isekai Life (Episode 1):
Pretty bad. Animation is half assed alot, character design is meh. Slimes are its only redeeming quality.
I'll check out the Light Novel at some point, but the anime is no go for me.
Vermeil in Gold (Episode 1):
Standard ecchi comedy fare. Animation is stiff, jokes arent original, but i didn't hate it. Had a few chuckles.
Probably not something I keep up with weekly, but could finish down the road.
Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy (Episode 1):
I don't remember the original all that well, but this show feels like 90s anime with updated animation. The metal soundtrack is pure 🔥, but sadly wasn't used enough in ep 1.
Definitely gonna finish this one
Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World (Episode 1): censorship usually doesn't bother me in ecchi anime... But this one censors words... Immediate nope for me. Also its mediocre AF.
I'm sure there will be an uncensored release later.
Uncle From Another World (Episode 1):
Got bored of the manga, but enjoyed this first episode a lot. Feels like the pacing is much better, and I found it a lot funnier.
Could be a weekly watch for me.
My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex (Episode 1):
I dunno, but I found this first episode boring for the first 2/3. Felt like it was dragging. It does seem like it has potential and could be cute. I'll give it one more episode.
The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting (Episode 1):
This was super cute and funny. Laugh out loud one minute, and heart-warming the next. I hope this one can keep it up for 12 episodes.
Call of the Night (Episode 1):
Great visuals and aesthetics. Love the entire vibe this episode gave off. Music was on point. A nice standout in the summer shows I've checked out so far.
Looking forward to episode 2
Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer (Episode 1):
This is so bad, I feel for the studio. This level of animation is like modern hentai quality. It doesn't flow, is awkward, and cheap.
No way I watch a second episode.. oof
Black Summoner (Episode 1):
By the book isekai. Nothing I haven't seen before, but it wasn't bad. Pretty average overall. I'd check out another episode.
Parallel World Pharmacy (Episode 1):
What an unexpected 1st episode. one of the better atarts to an isekai where they take over a person. Loved how someone close to him is genuinely afraid of him. Makes it more believable.
Need episode 2 now!
Parallel World Pharmacy (Episode 2):
Forgot to tweet this last week due to COVID. Great 2nd episode that sets up more of what to expect from the show. Definitely a ahow to keep up with weekly
The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious (Episode 1):
Cute and funny. Show definitely is cutting corners though, and those moments are super noticeable. If the production quality improves it would benefit the show a lot.
Black Summoner (Episode 2):
This episode started off well, but the went super cheap with some terrible 3D animation during a major fight.
Dropping the show.
Call of the Night (Episode 2):
Still the best I've watched of the new series this summer. That music is just so damn good. The visuals continue to impress.
I enjoy watching Ko have his introspective moments, whether he is aware of their meaning or not.
The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting (Episode 2):
Not as funny as the 1st episode, but SUPER adorable nonetheless. I really love the fact both Kirishima and Yaeka grow together, instead of one being the catalyst for the other. Must continue!
My Stepmom's Daughter is My Ex (Episode 2):
A better 2nd episode. This show has a solid foundation, and fun characters. I'm not going to keep up as it's releasing, but definitely worth finishing once its all out.
Include From Another World (Episode 2):
Yeah the anime definitely hits those jokes a lot better than the manga. This will definitely be a series I keep up with weekly
