Chaika - Avenging Battle - 01
Just another solid Chaika episode.
Parasite - 01
For the largest part excellent but just a few small stains that just really needn't be there.
The animation is absolutely fantastic, especially considering that this kind of flesh-splicing and transforming into weird shapes isn't something easily referenced. Doubly so when it isn't just the surface skin but at times also the flesh etc.
Writing and overall direction seemed great too so far and I'm quite happy with the added modernization. Knowing that the manga is from 1990 I was slightly confused seeing the MCs PC setup and Smartphone/Tablets later on. But I appreciate translating it to modern times as long as that doesn't impair any important plot points.
Unfortunately the boobgrab is an annoyance simply because it exists within the larger anime context. Sure, for this particular situation it may have been slightly justified, but it's still a pathetic anime trope.
However that's something that won't really matter in the long run, which I'm afraid I won't be able to say for the dubstep. Just what the fuck?!? I wish I could say it somehow actually fit these scenes and makes this episode almost a flawless experience but alas, it didn't. For a second or two I was seriously wondering if I had some video playing on the side because it felt so absurdly random and out of place.
edit:
Another aspect I really liked was the short-cut first "fight". While I'm certainly looking forward to some wonderfully choreographed and bizarre fighting sequences (considering what might be possible with these alien 'transformations') I certain do not want some shonen-battles to screw up the overall tone and pacing of the show.
Who is the Nee-chan?
Gonna start watching GBF and Chaika today.
Question before I watch GBF do we get confirmation on the parents of new protag?
the dubstep was very weird lol but it had some nice tune in between.

This is what the power of glasses do to peopleLog Horizon Episode 7:
![]()
Glasses must truly be frightening lol. So Log Horizon turned into Mcdonalds to save up money for one of Shiroe's plans. What this plan is going to be, I have no clue, but they are nowhere near 5 million gold. Really interesting to see them focusing on many other aspects of MMO's like economy, professions and stuff besides the usual battles. Makes this very enjoyable.
1.5/5 ?Love, Election and Chocolate 12
Love for all in the end.
Drama didn't work, comedy didn't work, boring election stuff and no real interesting characters. Well... Mifuyu was ok, but then there's that annoying Non-chan. Didn't like that kind of character in Pani Poni Dash, Nichijou and not here either.
Only the stuff about figuring out what happened to Kana saves it from a total disaster, and there's the 5th episode that was slightly funny. I guess people who said they chose the wrong route wanted theroute?Satsuki
The music sounded like they'd just taken it from the VN at times.
At least it wasn't the most boring thing I've ever seen? Eh, 1.5/5 pieces of chocolate:

1.5/5 ?
"Way too much"

But frankly this anime was really a big mess.

Gundam Build Fighters TRY 1
The sheer number of G Gundam references. I'm dying over here, guys. This is gonna be the season to be Corvo. I got fucking Tomino Gundam for to laugh at the impossible way characters will behave and the wacky Tominophysics going down. I got another season of Build Fighters for beautiful, wonderful, glorious, delicious, perfectly outrageous custom mecha and just some good fun.
Oh and I guess I have Cross Ange to fulfill my need to hate modern mecha.
Aren't you scared of the mecha overdose ?
GBF TRY 01
Ugh, I can already tell I'm not going to enjoy this season as much as the first. MC comes off as the atypical genki girl that so many female MCs in anime end of being. They couldn't even wait one episode before they made it obvious her and Reiji2 are going to be a couple by the end of it by going for the tropey "Ahh I fell on you and now we're both blushing!" Oh look Reiji2 just did at least 4 asspulls on his very first battle. Oh look Yuuma is the cold blue haired rival character!
Gundam designs shown thus far are pretty damn lackluster as well.
Overall a complete misfire of a first episode compared the the first season. Sadly I don't think this will improve much based on the preview. How can both gundam shows this season be so god damn bad?
Same studio.Daitoshokan 1
Cute show. Feels strong with cliche but this secret Shepherd thing along with his future sight reminds me of the Flag show earlier this year.
Chaika 2: Chaikan Break These Cuffs 1
Solid, but not terribly exciting, start to a new season. I assume Toruat some point this season since they keep hinting at it. Good action as well. Funniest part is how they were trying to teach Chaika had to take away/shorten incantations and she was having a hard time.will become a dragoon knight
REALLY? The girl who does that with normal speech can't do it? Immersion broken.
I swear to GOD madhouse you better not cut out dickarm

ZAKRELLO I SEE YOU LURKING THERE
OP is...okay?
[Kiseijû / Parasyte]
I'm wondering if it didn't turn into this week's much maligned boob grab, actually...
Well, the TV series is reshuffling some things around... Note that it happened right after the girl's attempted chop, in the manga...Not yet, it's too early I believe
G-reco stole it from me.Your lack of soul is showing.
Moyashimon 03
It's... spit.
We learn 2 methods for making sake, a new neat freak character is introduced and she ruins the money making scheme, the professor's plans gets revealed and it involves... terraforming and we get to know what the second strongest smelling fermented food in the world is. The strongest smelling is surströmming isn't it?

Naruto OVA 12
This is the animated short of apron Itachi cooking some eggs that people were paid to make for the game.
I can never stop laughing about that.
Who's making the Shirobako OT?
This show gets a bit weird in the middle with one of the characters. I'm not sure why it happens, but its just like "OK, that happened, now we continue on." I enjoyed it. Obviously when compared to Silver Spoon if falls short, but still enjoyable. I think Funimation has the live action adaptation that I want to get around to watching some day.
Parasyte 1
Oh glorious days I finally have my The Thing anime!
![]()
And it was a very solid first episode. Honestly I see some complaining about the music, but for me I actually enjoyed it in that it's so cheesy non-idol music that I loved it. Like with Brynhyldr and the hilarious second crab core OP.
The lead and the alien really work for me. I assume we'll get more battles later on due to the OP and the change in look Shinichi will experience. The art style isn't moe which I also appreciate. The animation is where this is definitely kicking ass and taking names. MADHouse is doing this right? Love those guys. Looking forward to more The Thing hijinks and body transformation, especially since I also got to watch this (I hope it was a reference)

If you haven't seen The Thing, you should fix this.
Do we have an OT for parasyte btw?
Chaika AB 1
Oh Chaika, how I've missed thee. Still the cutest thing ever. Anyway, good episode. There was a nice bit of action, and the Hero lady seems pretty cool, though I don't completely trust her.I also still think Vivi is the real Chaika, but who knows.
Can't wait for the next ep.
Sounds like Netflix picked another winner, if the rumor is true. -_-The Seven Deadly Molesters - Episode 1
It's a pretty colorful show, it's fast paced, and we seem to be getting a ton of swords and sorcery fantasy shows this season. Unfortunately it's also filled with the shounen action trope of "innocent sexual harassment" which is a bane on the genre. I think the show is interesting enough to appeal to an audience looking for fun action and adventure without needing this sort of crap. There's nothing funny or interesting about watching a young guy molest someone he doesn't know over and over just to "confirm" that she's indeed female. It's just gross.
Putting that aside (and it's pretty hard to put aside honestly), the show seems to be on the ridiculous end of the fantasy power spectrum, which could make for some fun fights if they escalate it further. The first episode already has a guy who could destroy an entire forest with a single sword swipe, and it seems like he's just a scrub in this world. Lol. There's also a talking pig, and a giant CG pig which acts as a mobile fortress. Yeah, I dunno.
Will keep watching if the molest stops. Will drop if the molest continues.

We haven't gotten any English language Aoyama anything over here for a good long time. (sans the Conan manga)It's a disgrace nobody has picked up Magic Kaito. Gosho Aoyama deserves that respect.....
Mecha overdose?
What like too much mecha anime?
C-can that happen? That can't happen. I don't think that can happen.
