    Most Recent Movie Watched?

    Saw Spy x Family: Code White at the movies Thursday. Visually nice, but disappointing in every other aspect. Sadly, the franchise has lost just about all appeal for me.

    Watched Malignant on Netflix today & plan to watch Joker tomorrow since both are leaving the service next week.

    I was looking forward to Konosuba season 3, but it seems that Crunchyroll isn't releasing a dubbed version?

    Their line-up page says there will be a dub, but no mention of when https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/seasonal-lineup/2024/3/13/crunchyroll-spring-2024-dubs-konosuba-black-butler-kaiju-no-8

    Finished The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would, which is why I still try to give new isekai series a chance. Especially liked the master/trainee dynamic between Rose & Usato. While largely played for laughs, it still delivered some genuine feelz as well. Hope it gets a 2nd season, because it feels like it’s just getting started.

    I just finished Frieren recently. While I agree with it being the best thing to air over the past 6 months, I have to feel it’s current ranking on MAL is overstating things. 

    Will be wrapping up a number of series this weekend: Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic • Solo Leveling • Ragna Crimson 

    Need to catch up on: The Dangers in my Heart season 2 • Shangri La Frontier • The Apothecary Diaries • Undead Unluck

    Looking forward to Yuru Camp season 3 a week from today.

    Helo helo!

    Since you like Chainsaw Man, maybe try Dorohedoro. Currently only 1 season, but another is supposedly in the works. Fir something more shonen (as opposed to seinen) maybe Undead Unluck.

    Saw at the cinema today

    Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out - the 2nd sequel film to the Bunnygirl-senpai tv series, with the focus on Kaede’s struggle to overcome the extreme social anxiety which previously led to her living as a hikikomori for 2 years. Very emotional with a strong advocacy of alternative educational methods & learning/finding acceptance for being different (not “normal”). 

    Rascal Does Not Dream of a Knapsack Kid - the 3rd film , focusing on an unexpected “complication” of the Azusagawa family trying to reconcile  & overcome the mutual trauma that resulted  in the parents & children living separately. Also greater focus on Sakuta & Mai’s deepening relationship as they get closer to leaving high school & becoming young adults. This one hit me on a much more personal level emotionally & actually made me tear up. Added to my list of all-time favorite anime movies.

    Both movies were very emotional, while also having the humorous (and in the case of Sakuta/Mai, flirtatious) verbal sparring the franchise is known for. I wasn’t initially a fan, but the deeper I get into it, the more appealing I find it. Definitely recommended for fans of Haruhi Suzimiya (personally I like it better). The one major complaint is that you need to have seen the previous material to keep up with the story. Which is further complicated by the fact that none of the movies are currently streaming legally in the US. This theatrical double feature was extremely limited (one day only for the sub version  & dub version the next day only). And the blu ray of the first movie is priced at a premium. And it will only get more difficult for newcomers since the after credit scene revealed that a new animated entry has been green-lit (no word on if it will be a 4th movie or a 2nd season).

    More of a Monday quote than a Friday one, but

    “You may not realize it, but people have to work to make a living, no matter how foul their mood.” - Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End episode 27

    Good News, I think. Not that I'll be able to watch any of it as I don't have a Disney+ account.

    I tend to alternate between Netflix & Hulu/Disney+ as series I want to watch accumulate. Crunchyroll is the only subscription I keep continuously.

    Any anime series with only one season or anime movie?

    Akudama Drive - dystopian/cyberpunk adventure, female protagonist. Kind of a spoiler, but several characters don’t survive (kind of like Edgerunners)

    Lycoris Recoil - girls with guns action, some slice of life & humor. Bluray collection is awfully expensive though.

    Expelled from Paradise - futuristic cyberpunk movie.

    Claymore - dark fantasy, swordswoman 

    Deca-Dence - post apocalyptic future, kaiju. Kinda cyberpunk.

    ID: Invaded - cyberpunk, detectives vs serial killers

    Iria Zeiram: The Animation - retro anime, futuristic female bounty hunter. 6 episode OVA

    Solty Rei - cyberpunk, bounty hunters

    Moribito Guardian of the Spirit - female warrior/bodyguard
