I’m doing a rewatch of Overlord and it’s kind of hard to believe it’s been nearly two years since S4 premiered.
The Sacred Kingdom film is set to come out in the fall, though I do wish it was a season instead as I view anime films as basically 1/3 of a normal anime season (12-13 episodes).  Attached File |

Protip: Don't take your ammo to Japan. Even if I leave the gun and ammo at home, I normally have stuff on me that would probably be an issue in Japan. All the neighboring states have reciprocity agreements with Tennessee, so I'm good with carrying a gun if I wander into a neighboring state, but the possibility of different knife laws is what could trip me up on a weekend road trip (Tennessee pretty much repealed all the state knife carry laws, a while back). |

If you’re into “strangers are mysteriously transported and forced to play a death game” anime, Battle Game in 5 Seconds is watchable, IMO.
The only thing that really stood out to me was how perfect the dub casting choice was for the sexy redhead that was pretty much always in lingerie and high heels. Extremely sultry voice. I was shocked when I found this was the only VA role the voice actress has ever done.  Attached File |

Kind of lost interest in Spy x Family about episode 22.
Started watching again this week, and when Twilight took Yor to a bar in Ep 24, my first thought was "you've seen drunk Yor before, and you really don't want drunk Yor". Yep, drunk Yor. Twilight's an idiot. |

The only good thing about it was livewatching with 4chan, as the threads were hilarious. There was a lot of hope that it would be geass level in terms of enjoyability but it fell way short.

Exactly my point of “not as much as some people think though.” I’m not speaking of you, of course. Just the people that think Twilight and Yor are madly in love with each other as early as mid S1. |

Will report back with second opinion… ETA: First episode has some major Code Geass vibes, but also… I don’t know, something akin to Evangelion, FLCL, or Eureka Seven. Maybe just a touch of Re: Zero, or Fate: Last Encore? Maybe it’s just the girl in red that gives off that kinda vibe. |

Is it me or is season 3 of Konosuba kinda mid? I'm watching the dub and the VAs sound...different? I don't know. The energy between seasons 1 and 2 seem different than 3 too.
Ellf bride is turning into a cutesy rom com and I'm enjoying it. (I mean that's what it is, but still) Kaijus last couple episodes got very interesting very quickly. Re Monster is fun and it's nice to see an MC not being a pussy. I find it hilarious that he eats anyone not immediately useful. Angel Included is cute. Train ride continues to be absurd and is enjoyable. Date A Live, I still barely remember who anyone is 5 episodes in aside from a couple of the girls. I have a lot of "who is she again?" moments. Saladbowl is weird as shit, but in a good way. |

But it did not receive a kind reception on release, other than for art, sound, and character design. I don't think it will be any better 13 years later. It's not the worst thing ever or anything, just a bit disappointing given the massive budget and hype it had at the time. Code Geass was utterly ridiculous and over the top, and reveled in it. Where Lelouch paraded around as Zero and stole every scene he was in, Shu is a wet fucking blanket and the first half of the series is like watching an NTR fetishist dream as he pines after the main girl. There is a brief period in S2 where he becomes Hitler, but other than student revolutionaries (and thats pretty common with anime) it doesn't have a lot of Code Geass magic. You want mecha student over the top nonsense, watch Aldnoah Zero or Valvrave the Liberator. Neither is as good as CG, but Valvrave in particular has more similarities. |

Konosuba season 3 is a letdown. Kaiju 8 is getting interesting. Train ride absurdity is best absurdity. Re-monster is interesting - but why do the goblin names need to begin with “gob”? What happens if he somehow evolves into a human? Or does he get to skip that and evolve into Kami-sama instead? Reborn aristocrat with appraisal skills is decent. Some things are beyond the grasp of little kids, though. Demon King Academy Misfit has confused the hell out of me - why the little kid act? Big brother younger sister incest academy is also confusing as hell, but something something intrigue backstabbing family history plotting is being plotted. New HiDive user interface is idiotic and has really cut down on my ability to watch anything at all… |

Yeah, I got the wet blanket impression from EP1, was kinda hoping it ended swiftly. Will at least hold out for that part of S2. Didn’t care for Valvrave, seemed too much like Iron-Blooded Orphans, and not in a good way. More in the sense of, “random kids are suddenly beating back a bonafide military force and somehow fending for themselves.” CG built up to being over the top, and you at least got the sense that Lelouch was flying by the seat of his pants for awhile, until really finding his footing. The show even lampshades that when CC later comments on his flair for theatrics. |

I haven’t watched any of S3 yet, but I will say that I am finding that anime series that go a LONG time between seasons tend to have a high probability of being disappointing. The most extreme example I’ve ever seen is The Devil is a Part-Timer! I loved S1 so much that I rewatched it at least half a dozen times. Then, nearly one decade later, S2 comes out. Other than The Promised Neverland, I can’t recall an anime I’ve seen that even came close to the drop off in quality between S1 and S2. |

I finally watched moonlit fantasy s1 and liked it and started in on s2 and it's a little different but still enjoyable. A little different but nothing jarring. Fun trash to watch that keeps my attention.
Reincarnated as the 7th prince is just a riot. |

If so it’s a bit slower paced than the previous seasons. I haven’t watched any of it yet because I want to be able to binge it with the wife and she’ll only watch dubs. |

Yeah, Tsukimichi is pretty good, despite having the stereotypical “harem protagonist with no fucking balls,” as mentioned in Combatants will be dispatched. I do like the premise of being summoned by an asshole goddess whom then abandons you out of pettiness. It’s actually a pretty good premise for an RPG, really. It’s one of the few shows I’ve really kept up with this season, seeing as Konosuba S3 seems to be sub-par compared to S1 and S2. Haven’t seen 7th prince yet. |

Yes - but I don't think that that's the reason for my unhappiness - rather it is as if the writers forgot to make it funny. (Admittedly my sense of humor may not be perfectly aligned with that of their intended audience - but I certainly got a kick out of the juvenile humor that pervades the earlier seasons, including the giant toads, the 'steal' magical spell, the explosion magic, and more - and I'm just not finding that same vibe in S3.) |

The decade delayed fourth (third) season of Full Metal Panic was great imo. Many probably disagree with me though. |

Did you watch the Megumin prequel? If so, how does S3 compare to that? |
