The R.O.D. Ova was more action oriented & it wasn’t immediately clear how it connected to the TV series, but became clear later. Love Yomiko & the Paper sisters. Season 2 of Ascendence of a Bookworm is scheduled to start in April. Starts kinda slow, but gets very interesting. Even though it’s set in s fantasy world , it does retain the medieval realism of a society where the general populace is illiterate & the only people with access to books are the wealthy & the church.

I used to read all the time as a child. My parents would take me & my sister to the library every week. And then all through college & my early working life I would read during my lunchbreaks. It’s a habit I’ve gotten away from for various reasons, but would like to get back into. Most of what I read is either fantasy or scifi since that is what interests me most. I’ve always been a physical media person as opposed to ebooks or audiobooks. On a related note, here are a couple anime with bibliophile MC’s you might want to check out

Welcome to the forums. What are some you like & what type are you looking for?

Watched the two special episodes that bridge seasons 1 & 2 of Ascendence of a Bookworm. Very cute

Some goods news for fans of Konosuba. The movie is coming to CR & we’re getting a Bluray of season 1 plus the first OVA. https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2020/03/10/konosuba-legend-of-crimson-anime-film-is-coming-to-crunchyroll Now if they can just get to work on a season 3 <fingers crossed>

I’m actually more intrigued now to find out about the “outside” and how things got that way.

Hope you get to feeling better. I think the Castlevania series has pretty much ran it’s course for me. Snarky dialogue can be entertaining when it’s one or two characters, but when it seems to be a defining trait of every character it gets old fast. Also seems like they feel they have to remind you it’s an “adult cartoon” by making sure every sentence has at least one profanity. I don’t find it offensive, just tedious. I like Sypha & Trevor as a couple, but they didn’t seem to grow at all in season 3. And the whole subplot with Alucard & the twins seemed pointless other than as an excuse to have a Again another hamfisted attempt to be “adult”. The graphic violence actually doesn’t bother me because if fits the horror aspect of the show.

Most of the time it’s at least 20 miles to the north, but still too close for comfort. Will probably have a lot of branches/limbs to clean up tomorrow.

Warm for this time of year (61F at almost midnight) but sounds like we might have a storm because I can hear the wind gusting. Hate it when it’s like this right before bed because worried about a possible tornado when I fall asleep.

Just announced that season 2 of ReZero has been postponed until July due to production delays related to the Corona virus. Another series was delayed earlier for the same reason, but it was one without much hype. There’s obviously bigger concerns, but wonder how many other series will be impacted. If it comes down to it, I can always make some headway on my backlog list

Actually I just used VS because I didn’t feel like spelling out Vinland Saga again Hopefully we’ll get a second season since apparently that was just the prologue

I considered it to be a pretty typical harem comedy myself, but it was popular enough that there’s supposed to be a second season later this year. From what I remember it isn’t really ecchi, but not very original either. And personally didn’t like about half the characters. I just finished the season’s final episode of Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun which I found surprisingly enjoyable. The plot revolves around a 14 year old who goes to school in the netherworld after being adopted by a demon (actually, he was sold by his deadbeat parents While the emphasis is on comedy, there actually is a bigger story that we get a hint of during the school festival arc & the fact that the throne of thee demon realm has been vacant for quite some time. It won’t appeal to everyone as it can be pretty silly & cartoonish, but for people who don’t like excessive fanservice or violence it stays in PG territory throughout. Season 2 has been scheduled for next year & I’m already looking forward to it

My Top 10 in no particular order My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro Ranma 1/2: Nihao my Concubine Project A-ko (the first one) Little Witch Acadrmia/The Enchanted Parade Princess Mononoke Children Who Chase Lost Voices Mary & the Witch’s Flower Patema Inverted Expelled from Paradise

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here For an action series I would recommend Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba). For something with a lot of awesome fights but is more philosophical too try Dororo & Vinland Saga. VS is particularly epic, but also pretty bleak. For series that are more psychological & suspenseful try The Promised Neverland, Deathnote & Shiki.

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here Since you enjoyed Durarara, I’ll recommend Bacanno & Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens.

New trailer for season 2 of Ascendence of a Bookworm & announcement that 2 OVA episodes will be available on CR on 03/09 https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2020/03/05/ascendance-of-a-bookworm-opens-the-book-on-part-2-in-new-promo

I actually haven’t seen the original series. I’ve heard they’re quite different. Started watching season 3 of Castlevania, though I suppose it’s more anime inspired/influenced than actual anime.

@exmax8 Any hints as to how recently you watched it & the art style? How ecchi was it? edit: actually think it might be a series called Magicians Academy https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/LightNovel/MagiciansAcademy?from=Anime.MacademiWasshoi (anime is on Crunchyroll). Found it by searching characters that use “sign” language

Saying “OK, Boomer” will get you on my ignored user list. I think he has a few years on me, but we’re in the same decade anyway.

Season 2 confirmed for April 6/7 https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-03-04/new-fruits-basket-anime-season-2-unveils-april-6-debut-creator-message-new-visual/.157131 Sounds like it will be on Funimation, probably Hulu. Not sure about CR.
