Yes. Please.
Juni Taisen 03
This remains way too formulaic. Although next week seems like as good a time as ever to mix up the ending order.
Food Wars! The Third Plate 03
Free samples are always the answer.
Takumi brining in some success.
The struggles of the Alice/Ryo/Hayama team are amusing.

Holy fuck, they're gonna make a Kokkoku anime?! I love this manga, so fucking happy.
Also, are Studio Colorido in some kind of partnership with Geno Studio?

Zodiac War, Episode 3 - Yep, this is definitely going the direction that I feared after watching the first episode. If you're the POV character of the episode and get your backstory fleshed out, you're slated to die. The fact that
supposedly got off-screened makes me believe the character is actually still alive and just escaped.
But yeah, if the characters really die in order of how they appear in the ED, this series just got super predictable.

They are both part of the Twin Engine network founded by former noitaminA producer Koji Yamamoto to allow creatives to focus on their art while protecting their businesses. Wit Studio, Yuasas Science Saru, and the new studio Revoroot are also part of this group.
While the formulaic approach is annoying, what bothered me most about this show is that the dialogue is much drier and dull than I expected from a Nisio work. I could stand the formula if the characters had more life to them.
No.

Ugh. How the fuck are people supposed to start Season 3 with any semblance of what is going on?
by watching it and learning who the characters are as you go along?
I mean there isn't really any meaningful information that wasn't covered in the start of the third season.
To me it partially feels like a consequence of the first cour being ass. You had that big scene with his sensei at the end, but the payoff didn't work for me because he barely had an arc before Tatara had to dance with his new partner at the end of last season.

If you think about it Sengoku was never seriously his instructor. He showed a pair of moves at the start, later he taught Tatara and Moako a routine for the amateur tourney, and that's it, the rest was being taught in random free moments by the other people at the studio. Tatara has been mainly practicing alone, and a few days with Mako.
In any case, maybe this is a translation issue that don't transmit the full meaning. I never interpreted this part as he didn't know something so basic as the fact that the male lead has to lead, but he truly didn't know the *real meaning* of that, up to what point the male leads the entire dance, by how much.

I finally got to watching Kimi no Na Wa and Koe no Katachi right after, and damn am I satisfied for finally getting to sit down and watch both. And it's a miracle I was able to enjoy the former without being spoiled for over the past year on it.
Kimi no Na Wa / Your Name
Masterpiece film and deserves every bit of hype it gets (yes even including beating out Spirited Away). Animation was beautiful, landscape shots were beautiful, combined with RADWIMPS heavy development within the film itself having their songs hit key animated moments, everything is great and the film truly deserves to be viewed in BR/the big screen, which is what I was finally able to do.
Story-wise the film is easy to understand tackling the simple themes of destined lovers and sense of misplaced longing. And while I would prefer the former to be the focus (because I'm trash for romance like that), I'm really glad the film is majorly focused on the latter.
The best way I can summarize the film is that it's a "modern fairy tale" bringing fantastical elements and grounding them into reality, and that I utterly adore.
Koe no Katachi / A Silent Voice
Great film and I'm glad it was made in taking one my favorite manga series of all time and seeing it animated in high quality plus bringing voices (and lack thereof) to the story's characters. However, adaptation is adaptation and while I really enjoyed the film I went in expecting a great deal of the manga to be cut out with the film's runtime of only 2 hours which did happen.
While in the manga I hated Ishida when he was introduced but grew to love him as I progressed through the story, within the film he came off as sympathetic from the getgo and the reason for his bullying wasn't revealed well (if at all) in my opinion. Nishimiya isn't exempt from this either as her family dynamic and history thereof (especially regarding her mother) is completely left out which is a damn shame. Then there's the multiple side characters introduced but not explored that honestly the film could've just cut a third of the cast out and it would still remain the same.
Regardless, with all the content the film had to cut out, it still succeeded in showing the main story and themes I enjoyed from the manga (the manga itself wasn't perfect having a bloated side story); all the climaxes from the manga were executed and heightened perfectly within the film. So while flawed, I'm still really glad this adaptation exists. Ultimately I wish this story gets another adaptation keeping the same VAs, animation, and sound but with the runtime it truly deserves (perhaps multiple films like Digimon Tri?).
-----------------
And if I had to pick between the two, I enjoyed Kimi no Na Wa better even through I truly prefer the story and themes of Koe no Katachi. As a reader of the manga I couldn't help but subconsciously point out/criticize the latter's flaws while watching, while with the former I went in with no bias at all.

The Seven Deadly Sins is the fourth most-watched Netflix originals series within the first 24 hours.
No wonder Netflix is investing more in anime.
Also is there any word of when Netflix would be airing the second season?

Made in Abyss 1-13
Man, that was hard to watch on many levels, some good some bad.
I really loved the world, the whole concept of the abyss and the curse, the fantastic art (specially of the scenery more than the characters) and intriguing story.
Some scenes towards the end get really dark and are pretty uncomfortable to watch (though I guess in what I would call a "good way").
It's just a shame that the author seems to be into naked kids : /
How many scenes do we need dedicated to people talking about the main character's (a 12 years old looking boy btw) penis? Why is hanging girls naked some sort of punishment in this world? Why is the main female character (a 12 years old girl btw) naked in so many scenes? Why is one of the final scenes of the season 2 kids bathing naked?
What's worse is that from the little googling I did it seems that the anime is actually holding back some of these elements with the typical convenient camera angles. Apparently the manga goes with full on nudity which makes me lose any interest in reading it.
It's a shame since everything else is so great.
Hopefully this gets a season 2. I'd love to see where the main plot goes, and at least the anime is trying to keep the nudity to a level that still makes the other elements enjoyable

that "manga show"
that list in general is so werid
especially since I know I heard people talking that defenders was a disappointment for the number of viewers it got and that no one was talking about Santa Clarita Diet at all.

They've gotten better, likely because after S3 Ep1 came out people sought them out and were like "these are terrible, I can at least make it somewhat better."
He does:
Made in Abyss but Im curious how that MHA song was chosen for the sake of the argument.
It was a song that was enjoyed by both of us off the soundtrack.
my friend says the MHA one is better
It was a song that was enjoyed by both of us off the soundtrack.

It was a competition between the song that stood out the most for me in MiA and just a really good song from MHA.
Both OSTs are top tier though. Ive had the MHA one on repeat for studying.
I thought you were supposed to choose one you think is cute and become obsessed with them is this not how idols work?

Nevermind 2 characters looking alike.
Pierre is easy to remember. He looks girly and thus will have a hard Dijon life
So I can just keep collecting screenshots of Tendou and ignore the rest?
First time with idols.
Thank you for the write-up! I enjoyed both movies as well and was pleasently surprised by how much I love Kimi no Na Wa considering I didn't like Shinkai's earlier movies too much.
Koe no Katachi isn't perfect, but I feel like it's a nice kind of summary considering that the manga isn't all too short. Waiting weekly for a chapter to release took out a lot of the emotional stress as well, so the later parts weren't all that impactful for me in the manga. In the movie though? Damn... The music also added a lot to it, especially for scenes like
the fight between Shoko and Shoya
I really need to reread the manga.

I'm surprised neither Jessica Jones or Luke Cage is included in that list since Netflix kept going on about they were the most binged series at their respective debuts.

Was the show good? I always saw it on my recommended but didn't know what to expect from it.
Then again I felt the same way about Kuromukuro and ended up loving it.
