sort of.

Rage of Bahamut VS 11-12

The tone balance is pretty funny here where you have the war on one hand and then the whimsical
(fucking)
Donkey Kong cart level and Nina doing Eddy Gordo moves on the other.

I was about to complain about those weird, annoying short interludes with blurred backgrounds but then the Student Councit President stepped into one of those only to get bazooka'd in an instant so now I love them.

Golden episode really, the deer and camping skits in particular had me in stiches. NDMGG was right.
 
I don't really understand the sudden anointing of Black Clover either. Talk about pushing the boundaries.

First, I think Crunchyroll/Funimation is... I don't know that desperate is the right word, but eager for Black Clover to take off like MHA did, or similar Shonen. It also has a passionate fanbase, although I've never really understood why. I've assumed that because Black Clover hits all the classic shonen tropes, and moves quickly from one big set piece to the next, it appeals to hardcore shonen fans. That's been my take anyway.
 
Children of the Whales - 01

Not too much to add to all the praise but also slight criticism. Well, except for that mascot being a pet peeve of mine. Doesn't help that it overtly feels like a mascot but while I can shrug that off I cannot stand the basically unaltered human voice 'noises' for it.


Talk about immersion killer in an episode that otherwise tries its hardest to set up an interesting world.

Juuni Taisen should have just stayed an one-shot. This is really predictable and kind of boring.

The kill order looks to be the same as in the Zodiac and the ‘twists’ so far are obvious as fuck.

Welcome to the Ballroom 14
This show has the same problems when it comes to displaying dancing, but the inner group conflict of Tatara and Chinatsu figuring out how to dance together is way better than anything Gaju as an opposing force brought to the table. The Chinatsu/Aki rivalry is also good.

Juni Taisen 02
The show so far:
"I'm so smart" *dies*

Food Wars! The Third Plate 02
I'm glad they are not speeding through this arc. Pretty good episode. The anthem thing was out of nowhere lol.

I guess there will be after credit scenes for every episode. Even when there isn't much of note there!

I keep watching UQ Holder and waiting for the moment when it betrays me. Gonna be painful too, because so far it's everything I've wanted. Gorgeous animation--it's so cool seeing my boy Kuromaru in animated form.

These episodes are so jam packed with how much goes on (because they cut down on filler content) that I always feel like we're making major progress.

That post credits scene though, it needs to be a movie or something/

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.

The plan was for all of them to use their Noble Phantasms, but Chiron didn't used his Noble Phantasm?

????

Were they baited?????

I have some suspicion that the meeting teased at the end of the episode between Chiron and Mordred's Masters has something to do with that. After all, Jeanne summoned Mordred directly since she's Ruler, but there's no reason the Masters couldn't have also struck a bargain of their own. After all, neither Mordred nor her Master do anything for free, and helping another Master's Servant conceal their Noble Phantasm in a crisis would likely come with a hefty price.

It's not just a coincidence that the first two to die also happen to be the first two that appear in the ED sequence?
With chicken girl being third in sequence and the next episode also featuring her
did they just spoil the running order of who's going to die and that we're heading to an
Ox v Rat finale? :p

In anycase, for master assassins, these guys are all horribly careless.

Yes, the ED pretty much gives away the killing order besides the dead brother (but maybe he comes alive again or some other nonsense), which matches the Zodiac order.

Looks like they're being super upfront and straight forward about this.

Nice fight. Astolfo and Mordred are still the best part of the show.

Juuni Taisen 2

Chicken is good. I hope she doesn't die next week.
Though Rat seems like the de facto winner....."Killing All", not subtle at all.

Juuni Taisen Episode 2:

I suppose this show has good timing given the popularity of Battle Royale modes in gaming right now.

Saber is the Roman Reigns/Poochie of anime.
Cant think of a simile for Kira. I unironically love him lol.

I haven't watched F/SN since 2006 but I remember Saber being the only good thing about that franchise. Don't compare her to a guy who seriously refers to himself as "The Big Dawg".

Fate/Apocrypha 14 - Astolfo is literally the only good character in the entire show. It baffles me how Jeanne gets main heroine billing over him.

EDIT: Also after reading the fifth layer arc of Made in Abyss Avicebron feels like just a low rent Bondrewd.

EDIT 2: tfw you're the only good character and have to carry an entire show

We flew too close to the sun.

They probably never watched pingu in their childhood.

MAL is full of sinners.

Never saw the appeal of Brotherhood.
Got bored after a few episodes. Then again I read the manga to completion and I was glad it was done.
 
Blend-s Ep 1

I liked the funny gaming bit and the characters all seem quite funny. Hopefully we see what the silver hairs deal is. Reminds me of a more fanservicey working so I'm interested to see how this show goes.

Even knowing how the episode was going to end, it seems like you would know it would end the way it did from the start. Those end credits tho...I wonder when it'll deviate from the order.

Im not into battle royales without dickhead bears and constantly getting my soul annihilated, they need to update the zodiac with a bear

Let's make a new animal belt instead.

I already got three: Elephant, Penguin, Bear

Also in tradition with the old zodiac, cats are not invited.
 

Moose Biscuits

It would be extreamly painful...
I enjoyed Blend S 01, the girls are cute and it's mildly funny. I also enjoyed Konohana Kitan 01, for similar reasons. Also the MC in Kitan keeps making that face where they get the diamond shaped mouth like a bird and I can't get enough of it.

These shows will be the ones to sustain me as the days grow darker. I can feel it.
