  1. Responding to your request for recommendations here since they won’t be summer 2023 series. The heavy hitters would be Overlord or Re:Zero, but both have multiple seasons & are pretty well known. For something shorter & more obscure: The Far Away Paladin, Skeleton Knight in Another World & I’m Standing on a Million Lives. I’ve heard good things about Grimgar of Fantasy & Ash, but haven’t see it yet. If you’re willing to forgo the isekai requirement maybe Goblin Slayer or Alame Ga Kill. Hopefully you’ll find something that works for you.

      Vinland & Kamuy pretty much for sure. Posiibly Heavenly Delusion & Demon Slayer. A lot depends on the final couple eps. And of course I have my own preferences & likes

      Vinland and Demon ended. But thanks for the suggestions

      @Ohayotaku watched and finished Skeleton Knight in Another World .I liked it. Thanks

  2. Gleipnir episode 8

    people who write this series off for the violence & lewdness are missing something IMO.

     

    figured Claire wasn’t the type to lose her cool over what happened between Shuichi & Chihiro though she’s clearly not happy about it. But fully expected Elena to rip her cute little head off. Strange that Chihiro remembers merging but Shuichi doesn’t. Seems he & Elena were a couple or well on their way to being one before what she did erased his memories of her. And now they can’t be together because she has a different agenda 😥 As to Claire & Shuichi not being able to be one because they’re too different, seems to me that’s what makes their partnership work.  The Chihiro/ Shuichi merger was more powerful, but out of control. Shuichi/Clair seem to balance each other out[/spoiler]

      @SeshiSorry. Should’ve put my comments on the 2nd post in spoiler tags too.

      Out of curiosity, have you been watching the new season of Fruit’s Basket or any other series (still watching Tamayomi or Kakushigoto)?

      I'm only keeping up with 8th son and Gleipnir. And I'm about 2 weeks behind rn. The rest got left behind when Appare ranman stopped airing T_T cuz sad

      I miss Appare Ranman too. Hope it returns in July.

  4. Took this quiz on Crunchyroll to see which One Piece villain you are and came up with Buggy the  Clown ... why am I not surprised? 🤣

      I am honestly surprised with the outcome - got to be Katakuri. Probably the most honorable villain out of all.

      Mazino

      Oh it really is. I completely forgot Katakuri has a liking for donuts too. (I clearly ticked the checkbox with the "donut" question)

  5. Happy Mother’s Day to @Seshi , @Wedgy & any other members who are moms. None of us would be here without our moms 🤗

      It”s been previously announced AoT will be on both, but as to the rest hopefully CR will put something up later this week. Apparently the Sayuki reboot/sequel will be on HiDive. I never watched the original but from what I gather is a bishonen variation of Journey to the West.

    3. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      And here’s CR with more still to come apparently

      https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2021/12/21/crunchyroll-announces-winter-2022-lineup

      looks like Funi will share Lord El Melloi, Ranking of Kings & Vanitas with them as well.

      haha just come here to post the same but you beat me

      as for hidive , ive been waiting to see if the pick up speed with quantity of stuff to be worth the price but been hanging back

      been thinking of getting a hidive sub

  6. Watched the 1st episode of The Great Pretender on Netflix.  I’ve been watching subtitled anime long  enough that Japanese voices don’t bother me, but the attempts to speak English were just ... painful 😬 Thank god they dropped it 10 minutes in or I’m not sure if I could’ve finished without muting the sound.

      The dummy system

      I was about to drop it solely because of that. But having watched the first 5 episodes now I am glad I didn't. I think it is actually a pretty decent show.

    3. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Finished the first arc today. Agree that  it’s alright, but the constant deception pretty much took away any dramatic tension for me as after awhile I just started assuming there was going to be some side scheme plan to make everything work out. Hope the rest continues the character development & action but less busy.

    4. The dummy system

      The dummy system

      Yeah I totally get what you mean. At one point I thought it just might take a very dark turn. After that, I never doubted that whatever happened was all according to keikaku :P 

  7. While I realize a lot of folks here don’t follow anime as it airs, Anime News Network has a poll for Best/Worst of 2022 for anyone interested in participating (last day to vote is January 2nd 2023)

      Care to say which ones & what you thought of them?

    3. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      I’ve seen enough of them that it’s actually a challenge to narrow things down (plus I’m still finishing off some of them) 😅

      As is my habit, will post my year end opinions later (probably around January 8th)

    4. Animedragon

      Animedragon

      The two were; "My Dress up Darling" and "Akebi's Sailor Uniform".

      Both series while very different were well presented, had a good cast of characters and an interesting storyline and I thoroughly enjoyed watching both of them.

  8. Nice Hanako theme for your profile 😎

      Ohayotaku

      I have. It has a very distinctive art style (reminiscent of the labyrinths/witches from Madoka). And interesting twist that rumors spread by people affecting yokai behavior. Not wholly committed to it yet, but definitely intrigued.

    3. Seshi

      Seshi

      Those are the key elements that I love about it! It reminds me of Demon Slayer in that way.

  10. Sounds like the anime development is still in the early stages, but already interested since it sounds different than the typical isekai series

      Did you watch the PV in the article? The MC’s design reminds me a bit of the MC of an older series called Petite Princess Yucie.

    3. Illusion of Terra

      Illusion of Terra

      Yeah I watched the PV, that's also what seemed quite upbeat to me (I mean I didn't understand what they said, but I think I can guess some of it 😂). I don't know Petite Princess Yucie, but judging from a few youtube videos they do give off the same kind of vibe. It reminded me a bit of Cardcaptor Sakura :)

    4. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      Yeah, Yucie is pretty light hearted, though there are some darker elements as foreshadowed by the opening scene. Still an overall feel-good series and sn under-appreciated one IMO

  11. So, waaay back in December I tried to order something through Funimation’s online store but kept getting error messages. I emailed them about it and got a generic ‘we’re aware of the problem and working on a solution’ response. Today I get an email saying they’ve fixed the problem. Nice to know, but needless to say I’d conpletely forgotten about it :lol:

      Hopefully, it arrives. I never ordered anything from FUNimation’s store. I always ordered from either Amazon or Rightstuf.

    3. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      They said I would have to re-order but they would match the sales price from when I tried to place the order earlier. But I’ve already got it somewhere else. Price is usually the biggest factor in where I order from.

      Kind of a weird sidenote: a couple times I’ve ordered things from Sentai’s website, but the package arrived with Rightstuf listed as the shipper :huh:

    4. brycec

      brycec

      Could have happened because Rightstuf is used to fulfill the order, which is something not new.

  12. Heard on the radio that today is National Chicken Wing Day. At the risk of revealing how truly maladjusted I am, I have NEVER understood this fascination. I don’t care what kind of sauce you put on them, just ain’t enough meat on the damm things.

      I didn't know that was even a thing. Just give me a boneless wing or white meat. A wing has more bone than food. I'm eating baked chicken as I type this by the way. 😜

  15. Hyped for Isekai Quartet getting another season with new “transfer students” (fingers crossed for characters from Shield Hero or Reincarnated as a Slime)

      May be awhile before we find out, but it is a Kadokawa title like the others. Already a lot of speculation among fans.

      Shiroe

      YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I just finished it too. I'm hyped to see what other Isekai make it in.

      It doesn't surprise me anymore that they decided against fighting him head on but instead seal him.

      I thought highly of him from the point on ward when he was messing around with Sukuna.

      Also when Sukuna made some remarks towards his strenght in the earlier episodes.

       

      Yes, this one was quite hilarious!

      Spoiler

      I'm still wondering who of the bunch may be the strongest if Jogo is worth only 8 fingers.

       

  17. I had to look up her name, but remembered your new avi from Elemental Gelade. I remember it being surprising enjoyable, even though you don’t hear much about it.

  19. Final episode for Arte, My Next Life as a Villainess & Ascendence of a Bookworm  S2 all air tomorrow. While I’ve enjoyed all these series a lot hangs on how they wrap things up or at least pause till the next season.

      No surprise that Bookworm ended on a to be continued note. (7/10)

      Was surprised that Villainess s getting another season next year considering that the original concept behind it appeared to be resolved. (6.5/10)

      Arte ended on the word “Fine” so I assume it’s over. (8/10)

      It’s still pretty limited in what you can do & has some bugs, but since I primarily use my phone instead of a desktop, it’s nice to have something integrated into the site itself & hopefully they’ll continue to improve things. I’ve made some attempts to interact on the forums there, but definitely prefer the feel of the community here even though it’s not overly active. 

  21. Bought my ticket to see the Reincarnated as a Slime movie in a couple weeks.

      I like Albedo as well. It's always funny when she and Shalltear get into fights over which one Ains likes better. I'm pretty sure I'd be unable to resist Albedo like Ains has though. 😍
