Ohayotaku Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Watched the first 3 episodes of Shaman King. Pretty standard shonen, but I’m still enjoying it well enough. Anna’s going to be one helluva queen. edit: I thought Lee’s last name “Pyron” sounded odd except as a possible reference to Darkstalkers. Just saw that it’s a mistranslation of “Pai Long” Does it count as Engrish when it’s actually a Chinese name?

Ohayotaku Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Watched the first 2 episodes of Fena: Pirate Princess. Very nice visuals & character designs. But the writing feels a bit lacking to me. Although not overly similar, can’t help but be reminded of Nadia: Secret of Blue Water. Will continue to watch for awhile anyway.

maoam Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I finished Vampire Princess Miyu about a day ago. Didn't bother to share my thoughts on it because it's one of those anime that's just "okay" enough that I have no thoughts. I gave it 7/10. It's incredibly bleak at times, but also kinda boring at other times. A more mediocre version of Hell Girl that's unfortunately dated. I like its style though, particularly the title card and the "ending card" that made it seem like it's some traditional folk tale from feudal Japan, which is befitting for an anime titled "Vampire Princess Miyu". Though honestly speaking, Miyu didn't really feel like royalty and more like "The Chosen One" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrutoyChuvak Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I've gotten sucked into watching quite a bit of anime recently after having been largely absent from it for over a decade, and have seen quite a bit that has been good. Here's a short sample of what I've watched recently: Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (one of the best written series ever, absolutely loved it) Your Lie in April (probably one of the best series ever made, shed plenty of tears) Erased (enjoyed this immensely) Death Note (good, but gets a bit old once the schtick wears off) The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. (by far the funniest anime I've ever seen) Toradora (cute romance story) A Silent Voice (great film, the story sticks with you for a while after watching it) Kuroko's Basketball (still watching it, not bad but so far not great either) My Little Monster (another cute romance story, probably the best first episode of any series ever) Got a lot more to watch, seems like there's been a ton of good anime that has come out within the last 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohayotaku Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Just finished the 1st ep of 86’s new cour/season. While her peers may consider her naive/foolish for getting demoted for her ideals, Lena seems a lot edgier & less concerned about being nice or doing things by the book now. Also seems to have won over her new troops fairly easily, but maybe not surprising considering she manages to get results without treating them as cannonfodder. I was surprised that Shin & the others from the squad are still alive. But at this point I almost expect the Federacy to be some sort of Matrix like simulation by The Legion to trick them. Even if they’re sincere, it’s clear Shin & the others find the way they are treated to be condescending. Pity & sympathy are a poor substitute for respect & dignity. While Frederica is undeniably a spoiled brat, her behavior is in many ways more honest than the adults attempts at compassion & altruism. No surprise that she is/was the Empress & raises questions about how much their government has actually changed In closing, I’m considerably more hyped for what’s to come than I was going into the episode.

Ohayotaku Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) 8 hours ago, EnviousEnvy said: Currently watching the first episode of Mieruko-Chan I watched it as well. I generally like anime with supernatural themes but need to watch some more episodes to make up my mind about it. I enjoyed the first ep of Irina, Vampire Cosmonaut. A decent attempt has been made to try & adhere to the historical timing of events, albeit with different names. The set up being that after the experimental launch using Laika, the Soviets intend to use a vampire (seem to be treating them more as mutations/aberrations than invulnerable supernatural creatures) as the next test subject. The reasoning being she is human enough to provide useful data, but still considered subhuman, so they don’t need to be overly concerned about her safety or ethical treatment. And even though I haven’t really been a fan of Digimon, giving Ghost Game a try. Edited October 5, 2021 by Ohayotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Watched the 1st ep of Takt op.Destiny. A fantasy (scifi?) series about using classical music to fight alien/extra-dimensional monsters. Anna certainly has her hands full dealing with Takt & Cosette’s eccentricities This one was definitely entertaining.

Crystal Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Puraore! Pride of Orange seems like an interesting show. It's not something I usually watch (I don't really watch sports anime), but one of my friends is really into hockey. The character designs remind me a lot about Love Live!, which seems cute! I don't have any strong opinions about it yet as my knowledge about hockey is close to zero. However, I am watching the second season of Yashahime, which is great, and watched one episode from Blue Period and Mieruko-chan! I like those three shows a lot, and I'm going to watch Takt Op.Destiny on top of the current anime season. But... regarding older anime, I just finished R.O.D. OVA! I've watched the TV series twice, but never got around to watching the OVA until recently. It's really good and it makes me want to start picking up the light novel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohayotaku Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Watched the 1st episode of Taisho Otome Fairytale. Definitely got some Ai Yori Aoshi & Shinigami Bocchan vibes. Was very surprised to recognize the tune Yuzuki & the MC’s mom sings as the same as an old time hymn, with different words.

Ohayotaku Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) The season has barely started & I’ve yet to watch Komi but takt op.Destiny is contender for my favorite new (non-sequel) show of the season Of course 86’s second cour is my top pick overall.
