Nah, it’s even worse

I’m not sure what to think about this. I really liked the first few episodes because they gave me the impression that the story would have something more behind it. But later it felt like there was more and more style over substance as the series went on. Overall, I think I will remember this show mostly for the direction. No matter what you think about the plot, Souta Ueno has genuine talent, and I’d like to see him in charge of a more ambitious project.

This episode was really balancing on an edge. It was well directed and all, but Aqua is reaching levels of edginess never seen before, to the point it almost feels comedic.
On the other hand, the scenes with all our heroines were great. I laughed out loud when Akane was living through her internal cringe, Kana being teased was super adorable, Ruby’s suffering felt very convincing, and the introduction of Sarina’s mother was a surprise.
The next episode is going to be an hour-long special. I’m looking forward to it.

I feel exactly the opposite. I don’t know the source material and the trailer doesn’t hint at anything particularly interesting story wise, but I’m gonna watch it for the art

I forgot to mention that Agents of the Four Seasons will have Kensuke Ushio doing the music, so there’s another reason to try it

I’m only on episode 3 but I can’t believe they’ve shown

Beastars Final Season Part 2 E3

a rabbit giving wolf a handjob 😂

Sequels:

• Re:ZERO Season 4 - I liked S1 and S2 but S3 left me somewhat disappointed. I hope this one will be better.
• That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 - Yay! More meetings! (please, don’t)
• Classroom of the Elite IV - I don’t remember much about it. I’m gonna need a recap
• Ascendance of a Bookworm Season 4 - Aside from season 1, this was rather underwhelming, but hopefully the change of the studio will bring some improvements. The trailer looked promising.

Definitely watching:

• Witch Hat Atelier - The trailer was beautiful and everyone hypes this as something of the caliber of Frieren. I’m a sucker for some good fantasy, so inject it into my veins
• Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring - by the author of Violet Evergarden + studio WIT. Definitely worth a shot.
• Scenes from Awajima - Drama, I love drama. Trailer looks awesome, I heard good things about it
• Daemons of the Shadow Realm - Made by studio Bones, by the author of FMA. Probably I don’t need to say more, even though I wasn’t a big fan of FMA. Worth a shot
• The Ramparts of Ice - it’s the earlier work of the same author that made You And I Are Polar Opposites, so I’m definitely watching this, because Polar Opposites is 🔥
• Marriagetoxin - action show by Bones, trailer looks great, worth a try
• Akane-banashi - after seeing Showa Genroku Rakugo I’m curious what others can bring to the table when it comes to Rakugo. I’ve heard good things about it
• Eren the Southpaw - adult cast, performing arts, premise looks interesting
• Mistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy - looks fun, and has Kaguya’s VA as MC
• Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun - interesting art style, interesting premise, the director did The Ancient Magus’ Bride before, which I liked
• Kirio Fanclub - trailer looks fun
• Goddess: “What do you want to be in your next life in another world?” Me: “The ribs of the Hero” - the title and the synopsis make it sound like an absolute trash, but the trailer looks like a fever dream, mixing different art styles, so it may actually turn out to be some wacky comedy
• Dandelion - adaptation of one-shot by Gintama’s creator
• Mononoke Movie 3: Hebigami - A single movie on my list. I’ve watched the series and the two previous movies. They were all great, very unique art style, great direction, stacked cast. Part 2 would be my movie of the year if not for the 100 meters. Looking forward to this one (although I probably won’t see it for a year, because it’s a movie, duh)

I’ll try them out but I expect to drop them, unless they surprise me:

• Mao - I like the style, but I liked the style of Ass Stats too and it turned out to be trash. Let’s see what Sunrise is cooking this time, but I don’t have high hopes.
• The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King - It looks rather rough and synopsis suggest it’s slop, but I probably decided to give it a try after reading some comments from manga readers (I know I’m gonna regret this)
• I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class - My gut tells me it’s gonna be trash but it has nice character designs. I hope I’m wrong.
• Liar Game - looks very rough, but has an adult cast and it’s not yet another isekai or romcom, so at least I gotta try
• Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk - I can sense trash from miles away, but let’s see, maybe it’s fun
• An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess - I have no idea how this made onto my list, but I guess there must have been some reason

Damn, Asa’s VA really can sing. She’s been doing a great job so far and it looks like it’s only her first major role.

Is Nitter ok?
