I called it talking dog because I thought chimera might give too much away but then again you wouldn't exactly know what the scene is until you watch it anyways.

It's got some potential. Hopefully, a good comedy replacement for Handa-kun last season.
That lil' bro though.... uggh, why?
Digimon Tri - third movie (or eps 9-13)
It was okay-ish, I guess, but I'm still amazed with how cheap the animation is most of the time... it honestly doesn't look like it's fit for a theater with all those two-frame mouths, simple pannings and many still shots.
The woman getting a close up of her evil smirk every couple scenes feels like it's the easy way out of setting her up as a main antagonist, since it probably would've been better if both the charaters and the audience saw her say or do a couple suspicious things that eventually led to her being revealed as a villain, rather than just seeing her smirk every now and then to remind the audience that she's up to no good. Seeing the digidestined not even questiong
was weird, but I guess they were too worked up with the prospect of
instead of wondering how the heck such a set-up was possible.
Then, we get another evil woman being evil offscreen scene, coupled with the reveal that
, which coupled with what I mentioned earlier probably means things are looking grim for
I was only moderately into Digimon as a kid (up to halfway through S3, I think), but now I'm a bit annoyed whenever mons do ass-pull super-duper evolutions as the plot demands, because it's just an easy way out of grim situations (things look good at first -> despair as the enemies are suddenly stronger or something -> digivolve to save the day). It's a bit more palateable when the evolution is part of them or their digidestined's character arc, but here I didn't feel like it actually mattered all that much. Yeah,
Still, I've got to say the autograph thing and digimon trading card were more interesting bonuses for watching the movie than the Kizu 2 postcard.

Izzy had failed despite trying his best to solve things and it was Tentomon's turn to try its best and save the day, but it all happened too fast for me to actually enjoy it as a cathartic moment of any sort...

2003 anime. Definitely the original. The first 30 or so episodes of the 2003 anime are better than the first 15 of Brotherhood (with a few, notable exceptions).

I sure don't. Both anime drag it out too long, it's only like 1 single chapter in the manga. At least Brotherhood doesn't make it 2 fucking episodes.

I judge an anime adaptation by how effective its storytelling is, not by how panel-by-panel accurate it is to the original manga. In this case, by allowing the viewer to spend more time with the characters, the 2003 anime is able to create a more powerful emotional connection and thus have storytelling that feels meaningful instead of a throwaway tragedy.

I'm looking forward to rewatching Mob Psycho 100 with a dub. Loved that so much last season. I never got around to 91 Days, so I might just wait for the dub to try it.
Other than that I'm in for Trickster, Orange, Nanbaka, Puzzle and Dragons X and Drifters. Maybe Kiss him, Not me. If I continue to like Izetta I might watch the dub as it comes out too.
As expected, Crunchyroll officially announces they have Euphonium S2.
I told you, Qurupeke, nothing to worry about.

Name dropping Hogans Heroes does make me curious.
Bad signal on the train and bad timing...

Urobuchi at his finest. While the previous episodes functioned as the gathering of the fellowship these episodes finally show each member's motivations. As they say, never meet your heroes.

Extended premiere too. Just a few hours remain.

Eupho is today? Wonderful. Let's get some more of them fantastic Kumiko expressions. Qurupeke needs an up to date avatar after all!
I'll have you know my face is at least twice as handsome.
You'll probably need to go into more detail, it's been years since I watched the first season.

Love Live Sunshine BR vol1 sold 66,745 copies in its first week, giving it the 2nd highest sales for week 1 of a TV anime volume. Glad that μ's effective retirement hasn't sounded the death knell for the franchise.

Soushin Shoujo Matoi 01
Basileus777 wrong as per usual.
Calling this a Nanoha rip off is being way too generous to this budget show and insulting towards Nanoha. That said I know this will be a by the numbers "I don't' want to be a hero but will to protect the people I love." stories. I'll continue with it but GOD DAMN the MC is boring as fuck.

The transbro!? Why not? 15 seems willing enough to explore the possibilities.

No, that was just your brain trying desperately to find anything to say about Kanan's character

Hey, Kanan's character is that she's the warm body they need to have 9 members!

If he's fully trans that's fine. I'm just tired of the whole "effeminate male" character archtype.
But yeah, they did awknowledge he was wearing a dress, so it's cool if they fully use a trans character and not use his sexuality/appearance as a constant gag.
No worries, he's anti-muppet
there aren't any characters in love live sunshine

FUUUUUUUUU-- oh.
Matoi the Sacred Slayer - Ep. 1
I'm not sure what tone the show is aming for.
The start and fight were a bit dark, but the rest was more light hearted with fanservice.
If I wasn't such a big fan of genre this would probably an easy skip, but as it stands I will give this one a few more episodes.

Yeah, the only thing I could say closely resembled Nanoha was that talking weapon at the beginning of the episode.

I'd say the original. It's a case where I found adding filler material over the manga allowed the viewers to build up a better relation with the characters. As opposed to the filler in Naruto, the filler here felt "just right".

SDBurton, watch Amanchu, it's good. It's from the author and director of Aria.
New Game is good too, tho.
