I'm so glad this fucking show is back and Azama's sister is SOOOO much more interesting and dynamic than he is. Also love Team Asia's look.

Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters 1:
Excellent post. Me and you basically thought the exact same way, and I too TOTALLY agree with the spoiler. There's no other way to think about it, specially if you paid attention to these characters and their mannerisms. I like that you put this episode next to a Tarantino direction, because I too thought the same way. The way the episode91 Days 12: End
It's not often in recent anime that an ending is so satisfying it actually elevates the show to a better position, but did it. The team in here took cues from Quentin Tarantino in the time passage, and it was fairly effective as non-linearity when done right can end up being a more interesting story telling tool. The writing of Avilio and Nero was top fucking notch throughout the show outside of a few hiccups here and there, but the implication that Nero genuinely grew to trust Avilio and that Aviliowas always there. The last episode and this one were bar none the best mafia anime I've seen ever, and the show exceeds anything else that has come out in that medium of this topic. Period.never intended to kill him
The background artists deserve the biggest recognition. The water paint style vibrant and beautiful backgrounds stole the show in the art department. The character designs of Avilio and Nero were fantastic as well too.
The shot where the ED song started playing as they're traveling was really touching and it encapsulated the melancholic nature of their friendship and rivalry. And the final argument plus the few final minutes were touching and heartbreaking.
As to the endingthe ambiguity of Avilio's current status is a nice touch. I like to believe that he's still alive. Looks to me like Nero lost any will he had to kill him after Avilio asked him why he didn't kill him back then. Then as he was taking aim, a direct callout to the first time he had a chance to shoot him, he was once again struggling with the decision. The little smile at the end as he looks at the can of pineapples is also a fairly strong sign he resigned himself to let him live. Not to mention his line for him to find a reason to live, and Avilio admitting he didn't kill him because he didn't want to. All ending with a shot of the footsteps stopping at a point, but then the ocean waves coming in and demonstrating they were washing away them away.
In a tale of revenge there were glimmers of redemption and regret. Which is par for course, but it doesn't make it all the more satisfying.
I give it a 9.5/10 and I'm pretty sure it just overtook Mob Psycho 100 as my AOTY. While the latter was probably a better showing of animation and it still displayed fantastic characters, I'm a sucker for these gloomy grounded tales in my HBO, and it worked just as well in my anime.
Bloodivores Episode 1:
Yes, this is a real show and that is its real title and somebody got paid money for that. That aside this was about a generic as you could get in many places but as it turns out this is seemingly Deadman Wonderland with a new coat of paint and a much more unlikable protagonist. I do not forsee myself lasting on this series.

Bloodivores episode 1
Well this was stranger and more edgier than i expected. Well for a story about a group of bankrobing vampires this was kinda boring. I didn't find any of the main characters interesting and i found the story and writing bad so i'm gonna pass on this for now, and maybe pick it up later if it gets good word.
Oh man... Her friendship is really something, lmao

When I was watching this and saw that logo it looked like something straight out of a mid 90s teenager saturday afternoon show.Though boy, did that logo during the OP look cheap as fuck. Like wow.
Wow, I'm impressed. This was an awesome first episode. Fine animation and it generally looked pretty. Princess Fine is also a really good protagonist and I'm looking forward to her.
Standby for a big bold day of new fall anime announcements at Crunchyroll! Things begin with a double whammy with word that two series from Aniplex of America: Occultic;Nine and March comes in like a lion, are set to begin streaming soon.
I watched as far as A's. I never actually watched Strikers so I don't know how much I missed over the years.
I can't believe I saw so little this season - what a disgrace.
The problem with those Monogatari rankings is that I'm not sure if it's people's taste in waifus that is thrash or more generally their views on anime.

No shame in building up a reserve for future bad seasons.
