    I figured this would be the case since 1st film was that way, though it will be at least a couple months after the japanese release probably. Though the creator’s comments on this probably being the last movie along with some of the scenes in the last trailer makes me wonder what they have planned going forward.

    Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss

    I was actually fairly impressed by Hazbin Hotel especially from a visual & OST standpoint. I’m not really a subscriber to the being edgy is the same as being funny philisophy, but given that it takes place in hell there’s at least some justification for it. And have to admit some of Angel Dust’s quips  actually made me chuckle. And Alastor seems like a completely skeevy arch villain. Plus Charlie’s optimism makes me think there could be at least some heart under all the profanity & sex/drug jokes.

    Can’t say the same for Helluvaboss. Pretty much entirely “certain people will be offended so that automatically makes it funny”. Seems like it will be pretty episodic too. To be fair, I think it’s at least better quality than Invader Zim (though that’s not exactly high praise from me) Doubt I’ll follow this one because would probably get tedious quickly for me

    Even though the focus of this week was supposed to be Red Riot,  the high point for me was the reveal of the other aspect of Fatgum’s quirk which took me completely by surprise

    able to not only absorb all those physical attacks, but store the energy from them to turn back on his opponents

    I think he’s my favorite of the new characters.

    But to this point I still don’t feel like the fights have been as exciting as I’d come to expect from this series. Hopefully that will change once they confront Overhaul face to face.

    Dr. Stone [Spoilers]

    So the final episode of the season was largely dedicated to recapping how far Senku’s kingdom of science had advanced with some funny & inspirational moments thrown in. Of course the imminent battle with Tuskasa’s followers will have to wait till next season, though we at least got confirmation there will be one. 
    My overall feelings: felt like it was overhyped initially, but started enjoying it more once the village arc started, through where they learn about Senku’s “dad” (episodes 7 - 17). But felt the final stages were kind of a stretch

    the whole “cellphone” thing & still no idea how they will actually make Practical use of it given the limitations

    Still curious about how the big fight will go down, but will wait for season 2 rather than read the manga. Would rank it 7.5/10, but still in my top 10 of 2019.

    I mean I love fan service in moderation.. but sometimes it's so heavily laid on that its just cringy and kinda aggravating.

    This is pretty much my stance since there are a number of fanservice and ecchi humor series I found at least somewhat enjoyable, but not many recently. I’m in 100% agreement with Hisoka using Fire Force as an example of where it absolutely ruins a show. And the later in the series it goes, the more ridiculous the scenes. Last week’s took place in what’s supposed to be a fight with main baddies and was just spacer.png 

    Then there’s recent series like Kandegawa Jet Girls & Why the H are you here Teacher which are so graphic, they cover 3/4 of the screen with censor bars. I wondered what the point was but someone on another forum explained that the entire broadcast version simply serves as a commercial for when they put the uncensored blu ray version up for sale. No thank you.

    And let's not forget the breasts

    As ridiculous as some of the proportions are, I don’t find the volleyballs as off putting as the footballs.

    While any show with a character surrounded by multiple members of the opposite sex is probably a harem to some degree, most of the ones I enjoyed made it pretty clear from the outset who the real couple was (Ai Yori Aoshi for example). If course even where others may see multiple ships, I usually only consider one legit (sorry Yuki, but it will always be Kyo & Tohru IMO).  As far as Tenchi is concerned, I always considered him too wishywashy to have any actual chemistry with any of the girls.  As far as personal tastes, neither Ryoko or Ayeka ever appealed to me. But Kiyone

    As far as a more recent example, I actually thought the first season of Bokuben was nostalgic of the old goofy comedy harems and even kind of cute. Unfortunately season 2 upped the ecchiness and us kinda disappointing to me.

    That Madoka Magica sequel is looking verily tempting. 

    It’s being described as a side-story rather than an actual sequel and I believe is based on a mobile game, but Madoka, Homura & Kyubey all have roles to play so I’m definitely curious.

    I’ve also heard of one called Koisuru Shouwakusei coming up.  Not sure when it is coming out but it is astronomy themed

    The PV looks like it could be Yuru Camp but with star gazing instead of camping, so yeah I’ll be checking it out too.

    Right now I'm still waiting for Bookworm to finish so that's about where I am in the greater flow of anime.  :)  

    This one is getting into some deeper territory as the season draws to close and is becoming one of my favorites. IMO it’s doing right what If It’s for my Daughter ... did wrong. As far as some other cute girl series from this season, Average Abilities isekai & After School Dice Club are at least fairly enjoyable.

    Thing of it is, it’s still a joint project with Toei Animation so at least part of your anger should be directed at them for “selling out”. Though it’s not like the first time this has ever happened  and won’t be the last. I made it through maybe 10 minutes of the new series before deciding it’s not for me, but wasn’t really into the original either.
