The final episode of the Ancient Magus Bride OVA: Boy from the West & Knight of the Blue Storm. Looking forward to Chise’s adventures at magic college in season 2.

My Hero Academia episode 124 - HOLY ****  This  episode’s reveal left my jaw on the floor & pretty much guarantees MHA season 6 is going to be my AOTY 2022. While not perfect, This season has brought so many developing plot threads together & addressed many of the complaints I had about seasons 4 & 5. One of the biggest being that it seemed to be too quick to forgive Endeavor for his past actions. I won’t go into details because of spoilers, but to borrow a quote from this ep “You reap what you sow”.

I've now finished watching Orange. It's a good series with an interesting storyline. It also has a good cast of characters that I can believe in and care about, which in my opinion is important in a series.

[Ohayotaku]

Started watching Raven of the Inner Palace. Supernatural mysteries, palace intrigue & some romance as well.

So, I've now finished re-watching series 1 of Sound Euphonium. It's a nice easy going SoL series about a high school concert band. The story is moved forward mainly by the interactions of the characters, the character designs, artwork and animation are excellent as is the attention to detail, but then you wouldn't expect anything less from Kyoto Animation. I'm not a musician but I'm told that when you see the cast playing their instruments they are actually playing the correct notes.

I'm currently watching (as I tend to) in parallel the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and the Mobile Suit Gundam - Iron Blooded Orphans.

Both awesome shows, but I still rate former as overall better.

[Fezo_chan]

I started watching «Fairy Tail». Recently l want to feeling something kind and warm in my hurt. 

I'm tired of watching anime about murder and something terrible. 

Sometimes I am surprised by people who have time to watch 20 episodes of anime. People spend 6 hours a day on anime... They probably don't have 24 hours a day. (Maybe 500 or more)

[Animedragon]

I've now started series 2 of Sound Euphonium and it's looking really good.

Just noticed Solty Rei in crunchy's "new" section.  Worth a re-watch.

Added to my queue, though who knows when I’ll get to it  Funi continues to port over it’s catalogue to CR.

I started watching Romantic Killer and From Me To You a couple of days ago.

From Me To You is just adorable, although I do find Sawako's thought patterns a bit repetitive ig?? It's really sweet though, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far.

unlike Romantic Killer, which I've pretty much already dropped after 5 minutes It's so painfully bad

I've now finished series 2 of Sound Euphonium. Slightly different to series 1 where the focus of the episodes was introducing the characters and their efforts to get the concert band up to presentable standard. In series 2 the focus shifts away from the band rehearsals and centres around the members of the band and their various problems and interactions with each other. I think the series had a good ending for it to have ended any other way would have been unrealistic and slightly improbable.
Overall, Sound Euphonium is a really good series.

[Animedragon]

Currently watching Soukou no Strain, an unusual and interesting Sci-Fi Mecha series with an intriguing storyline.

I’m enjoying it as well. But (bit of an unpopular opinion) I think I like Do It Yourself as a CGDCT series more.

[Animedragon]

I've now finished watching Soukou no Strain. I thought it a bit slow to start and introducing all the characters only to kill almost all of them off by the end of the first episode was certainly different. But the story got going quickly after that and had an interesting storyline and was really enjoyable to watch.

 

[Animedragon]

I'm currently trying to watch Little Busters series 1 again.  I say "trying to watch" because I find the storyline doesn't flow smoothly and the pacing is all over the place. OK, I don't find it as disjointed as I did first time round, because this time I have an idea of what's happening, but it's still difficult to follow.

Anime is good medicine.

I hope you're feeling better soon.

Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou / When the Promised Flower Blooms

[Animedragon]

I've finished re-watching the first season of Little Busters.  I'm really trying to like this series as it has decent animation and artwork, it also has a good cast of characters and some of their individual story arcs are quite good, although one of them is in my view too far-fetched and improbable. So, now on to season 2.

[Ohayotaku]

Isekai Quartet: The Movie 

this turned out to have more of an actual plot than I expected (albeit a predictable one). Of course, the main appeal is still seeing it’s cast of (slightly  ) caricatured  characters playing off each other. Like the series, it’s not absolutely essential to have seen the anime they come from (Konosuba, ReZero, Overlord & Tanya the Evil) but it does make it more enjoyable when you recognize the the numerous references  &  easter eggs). And yes Shield Hero’s Naofumi, Raphtalia & Filo are along for the ride (even if that technically makes it an Isekai Quintet ). The new characters were likable as well, especially Pantagruel. All in all an entertaining & enjoyable romp 

 

My only complaint isn’t related to the movie. Namely, we haven’t gotten any updates on Tanya the Evil season 2 since it was announced a year & a half ago  At least we’re supposed to get Konosuba 3 & the Megumin prequel in 2023

makes me want to watch re zero again and isekai quartet

Spy x Family - final episode of the 1st season was today. Personally feel that the 2nd cour was more uneven than the 1st. The opening arc with the bomb dogs was one of the best. Really liked Yor’s cooking lesson, Bond & Anya’s first fight & Nightfall’s introduction. But Daybreak’s intro & the tennis tournament felt too silly.  At least the season ended on a decent episode & even with it’s shortcomings the series was one of the years highlights. And with a 2nd season & a movie both in the works, looking forward to more excitement & laughs  with the Forgers.
