    Seems to be getting boring

    Posted · Edited by Ohayotaku

    While I’m not seeing much I’m hyped for in the upcoming season, I’m nowhere near bored of anime. Still got a number of series from the current season I need to finish or that will carry over into the new year (Frieren, Ragna Crimson, Shangri La Frontier). And will hopefully finally get Fate Stay/Night , UBW & the Heavens Feel movies off my backlog list. 
    I’ve been watching anime to some degree for  40+ years & the variety of genres I’ve exlored actually increased when I started streaming around 6 years ago. I can see myself watching less anime in the future (especially seasonals) but doubt I’ll ever give it up entirely. If nothing else, there are a number of titles from the early days of my journey I’m curious to revisit & see if my impressions have changed, especially ones I’ve only seen the english dub version of.

    What anime are you watching now?

    This evening I finished watching Kaina of the Great Snow Sea, and to be honest I found the ending a bit unsatisfactory. Up until the last few minutes of episode 11 it was an excellent story, but then they rushed the ending.  Eleven episodes seems a strange number and I wonder if it was intended to be 12 episodes, there certainly looked like there was plenty of material in those last couple of minutes to make a 12th episode to give the series a proper ending. I wonder if they just ran out of money and had to pull the key points of the originally planned ending into the closing minutes of the 11th episode, it certainly seemed that way. Throughout the preceding 10.5 episodes the story was well paced so it was very odd that they crammed the closure into the final few minutes.

    The sequel movie is apparently up on Crunchyroll now if you’re interested. I’ll probably watch at some point, but no idea when (maybe before posting my 2023 Favorites, though the tv series on it’s own wouldn’t make the cut).

    Migi & Dali episode 11 while none of this week’s revelations/ developments were particularly surprising, the way they played out still felt shocking. And with 2 more episodes left it seems likely there will be at least a few more twists before the end. With it’s surreal & macabre tone, the series frequently approaches the level of horror instead of just mystery. I definitely consider it one of the season’s under appreciated series.

    Dang, they really know how to twist the knife in the wound with the way episode 20 opened.

    Honestly not sure how to react to Nobara’s death not necessarily being permanent. Was I pissed that they killed off my favorite female character from the series (and one of my overall favorites)? Yes, but teasing like this makes it likely to cheapen the feelings however it turns out. Instantly knew what that hand clap meant when I heard it & was hyped to see the”bro’s” take on Mahito. But sadly it really emphasized how badly the animation quality has cratered

    Higurashi no naku - What to watch first?

    While I’m by no means an expert on the franchise & have not read the manga I will offer some input 

    Season 1 of the main series is Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (aka When They Cry).

    This is followed by Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai

    Next comes Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou  At first it may seem like a retelling of the original series with some changes, but as it goes along it will become clear that is not the case & it’s actually a sequel series.

    This is concluded in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu

     

    Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei & all the stand alone eps are just some bonus eps that aren’t essential to the story, in fact some are parodies that are just there for humor or fanservice

    One thing about Gou & Sotsu is they tease some characters from a separate series/storyline called Umineko no Naku Koro ni but I’m not familiar with it.
