Sometimes a random trailer comes across my Youtube feed



I had no idea what this was but I found it was actually an announced sequel to


So I watched it because why the hell not, I never knew about it when it first came out in 2014

I enjoyed it. Imagine trying to fit every single possible anime trope of the last 40 years into a single 104 minutes film and this is what you get. Written by Gen Urobuchi, but the non butchery version. Thematically it felt a lot like Suisei no Gargantia (Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet) for anyone who remembers that one. Directed by Seiji Mizushima, best known as the director of Gundam 00. This movie has mechas. The amount of R-34 art of the female lead, voiced by Rie Kugimiya, is apparently off the charts and it's not hard to imagine why. I guess you can get away with constant butt shots when you're a feature film and not a TV show. The male lead looks like he fell straight out of Cowboy Bebop or any other late 90's era anime. There is a story about post-apocalyptic Earth, and some themes about transhumanism, and mechas have some fights, and honestly now after it's over all I remember is Angela's butt so I guess the movie accomplished what it set out to do

I can't wait for the sequel next year lmao
 
Watched attack on titan early in the year, it was really good apart from final season. People recommended vinland saga, it was okay but far cry from aot.

Interesting. Gen Urobuchi of Saya no Uta and Madoka Magika fame. I will have to check this out.
 
I've been enjoying and would recommend Clevatess:
  • Fantasy world with strong world building, that is mercifully not an Isekai.
  • Protagonist that is the villain but not really the villain. Three episodes in, humanity is the villain.
  • Villain/protaganist with zombie human co-protagonist raise human baby.
  • So far unpredictable plot.
  • Well animated.

I just want to briefly mention there are two Urobuchis, the Urobutcher of Saya no Uta and Madoka fame, and the non-butchery Urobuchi who wrote everything else. He is a prolific writer. So if you're looking for despair and gore, you are looking in the wrong place with Expelled from Paradise

Thanks, will give it a watch.
 
currently reading Usogui at 280/539 , just caught up with Revenge of the Baskerville Bloodhound which was straight fire, i blasted through 122 chapters in like 3 days.started reading The Stellar Swordmaster right after and im 40 chapters in and loving it. both webtoons fyi.
 
So I finally got around to Solo Leveling. I just started the second season. It's pretty fun. Good action and production values. Kinda weird too. No explanation yet as far as why it seems like the main character is in a video game. It could use some fan service beyond jacked dudes lol
 
Just got done with both Rock is a Lady's Modesty and Slow Loop. Really enjoyed them both.

I only watched Slow Loop for the Bocchi the Rock cameo and it was less than a second but even so it's a nice chill CGDCT about fly fishing.

Rock is a Lady's Modesty is a fun watch, especially the unladylike outbursts from the 2 leads after their set ends.

Slow Loop is on crunchyroll and Rock Ladies is on HiDive.

That song is fucking awesome. Absolutely made the episode for me.
Now that we've seen it's possible. The world needs a midlife crisis metal band anime to top Black Heaven. It doesn't need the scifi parts, just the slice of life of navigating being an old man with a boring job that wants to rock.
 
Just finished Non Non Biyori, it's in the running for my favourite CGDCT anime. What an amazing show. Maybe it's nostalgia because the kids play in a very similar way to the way I did when I was a kid, always outside exploring, secret bases, bike rides, that sort of thing, but I loved it from beginning to end.

Asteroid in Love, another CGDCT, about a girl who meets a boy when she's little, he points out a star that shares her name so she asks him about one that shares his name and he says there isn't one, so she promises to find an asteroid and name it after him. A few years later she joins the astronomy club when she gets to high school and is surprised by one of the other members.

Rewatched Bocchi the Rock, in anticipation of the second season. It's still awesome.

Most of the way through Demon Girl Next Door. A girls family is cursed and the only way to break the curse is with the blood of a magical girl, but it's not easy when the magical girl herself is helping you to train because she feels sorry for you.
 
I've been on a bit of a sport anime binge.

Ikawakeru: sport climbing girls
A semi professional gamer quits to concentrate on high school and joins the climbing team after realising that she has a natural talent for solving routes.

Birdie wing: golf girls
Street urchin that plays underground for money has a chance meeting with a girl on the verge of becoming pro and they end up pushing each other to another level.

Minami Kakamura HSGCC
A high school cycling club recruits new members.

Bamboo Blade
A strapped for cash teacher makes a bet that his school's kendo club can beat his senpai's and then while trying to find new members to make up the numbers he comes across a tiny first year who has been practicing in her father's dojo every day since she could hold a shinai.

HIGHSPEED Étoile
Futuristic F1 style car racing. Not really much else to it.

Tamayomi Baseball Girls
A novice highschool baseball team tries to get competition ready.

Harakuna Receive
A girl moves to her nans house and starts to play beach volleyball, basically the swimsuit episode is every episode.

Keijo!!!!!
Girls compete to knock each other off a platform into the water below, using only their boobs and butts. It's pretty funny, including a move where a girl uses her boobs to great effect called "shoreyu-cans"

Scorching Ping Pong Girls
A new girl in school joins the table tennis club and immediately challenges the No1 player, whilst said No1 is initially annoyed she then realises that she had more fun than she had in ages when being pushed.

Sora-iro Utility
An aimless girl helps an old man struggling with his bag and ends up in a golf driving range. She sees another girl playing and decides that she wants to try. She has fun and wants to play more even though she sucks real bad, she plays a lot and, while she still sucks, she sucks a little bit less. It's actually refreshing to see a series like this where the main character isn't some kind of prodigy.

How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Lift
A girls friend takes the piss out of her muffin top so she joins a gym to get in shape. Trainer Machio is the star of the show, along with his seemingly magical tracksuits.

Sabagebu: Survival Game Club
A girl is tricked into joining her school's airsoft club. It's fucking stupid but in a good way. The narrator is amazing and the girls imaginations play a big part in the show.

My gf started rewatching Inuyasha (she loves that show) and I had never seen it and never thought much about it but the past week I've been watching with her and I have to say it's pretty good. The animation style is nice, the effects have that old school charm and the story is better than I thought it would be. Enjoying so far, almost at the end of season 2.
 
The beginning is definitely fun and great OP/ED songs. As usual with long running series. The end starts getting dumb. But it's a decent ride
