Mushishi ep.1
It was finally time to give this one a go and right away you can tell the atmosphere crafted in the show was gonna be good the short mystery aspect of the show was a reminder of Mononoke, but I like the ambiance in music and sound much more on this (so far) and the story was short but interesting. Hopefully, it stays that way and keeps me engaged throughout.

Lol what the heck.
Tonkatsu DJ Agetarou 3
I love this show so much. It's so vibrant, expressive, and delightful.
So much of its appeal for me comes down to the music. I'm exploring Japan's DJ culture right alongside Agetarou, and it's awesome to really be able to hear all the concepts being explored (in this episode, the Long Mix and Quick Mix) through the medium of sizzling hot beats. It's really got the vibes.
Shout out to the Low End Theory reference on one of the record covers.

Tonkatsu DJ is the anime that looks the most like it belongs in Adult Swim. It's already 9-10 minutes it'd fit right in.

This was a well made episode with lots of good animation, and it was reasonably effective at portraying a tense horror atmosphere. But at this point I just have to say that, while I admire his visual experimentation and creativity, Masashi Ishihama has certain persistent directorial quirks - fast parallax scrolling, continual fades to black, sudden rapid cuts between shots - that annoy me whenever they crop up. Unless he eventually reins them in, I don't think he'll ever be a director I especially like.

Mushishi is magical. A wonderful show. Though I still have 10 episodes of season 2 to watch.
I'm here till the end cause it's good!

This one is one if my favorite calm relaxing series and a continuous journey like Kino's Journey.

Well...just have some time to bring up my entire anime collection I have own and now taking picture of them. Kinda a record for myself and also, if I ever want to sell, I can use this picture to show how they're. Also, I am a bit fatigue with watching anime for now mostly from my work. Not done taking all the picture yet but will update it quite frequently.

Now, I need some motivation to go back watching the backlogged I have right now...

I know....just want to get through the backlogged of anime I have collect or interested to watch. It's kinda funny how I manage to get through quite a bit from last year but this year, my watching slow down. I guess watching non stop for this long, you get tired quickly and want to stop.
Welp, guess this is my consequence of buying too many anime but never have the chance to finish all. The circle of hell for me.

After reading about bullying what I got was actually pretty tame. Not much happened but Michi going full God of Fashion mode made me laugh.

Episode 9 is probably my favourite episode of the series, spikey hair gene, boobs mcgee, big sister Kazama, haha such a brilliantly funny episode.

With that part bring a simple question, are their good and bad mushi?

Ishihama is very much like a music video director, so those things will always stick out. He uses manipulation of visuals to evoke certain emotions and feelings. It's very effective in short spans of time, like in a 90 second OP/ED, but it can feeling incredibly pretentious over the course of an entire episode or movie.

But hes one of the most popular characters in the series (3rd in the 1st popularity poll). Bakugou Midoriya is one of the most popular ships of the series even.

Re:Zero 04
Holy shit at that ending. Episode was all fun and games until that happened. I do wonder if Subaru will be too dense to figure out what happened, much like when the "respawning" first happened. The ending caught me off guard, it was a pretty nice twist.

Stumbled upon this ending song from an anime called Legendz or something. Not familiar with the show (seems like its a kids show with weird anthropomorphic Dragons) but man is that ending theme BUMPIN' Apparently it was sung by Brenda Vaughn but when I look her up on ANN, this show is the only thing she's oone? I wonder how this English fluent singer ended up on this show and nothing else.
That's a weird way to phrase that criticism.

Did you miss her song in Eden of the East?
Re:Zero #4
This show continues to be surprisingly good. We got some decent developments and a fairly fun SoL episode. I love how the show added a slight twist to the MC's "ability", since
was a very interesting and most intriguing development.
...And here I was thinking it was just going to be yet another boring isekai RPG anime. I'm really glad I didn't decide to drop it halfway through e1p1 when it still looked like a generic show.

It could be good all the time though yet here we are.

I don't think I've ever articulated it like this, but a music video director is a good way to describe him. Sustaining longer narratives does not seem to be a strong suit of his.
I know nothing about Legendz, but if you look in the Youtube comments there you'll see several people pointing out she also did a song for Eden of the East. Her VGMdb profile shows that she's also done a fair bit of work for Bemani games.

Well at least he still has his
life
I think it's relatively accurate given Ishihama's background though. He's a good animator, but his directing experience mostly comes from OP/ED sequences which are designed as music videos montages rather than narrative form. He's pretty good at capturing the essence of the music flow and creating visuals which complement the beats and tempo, and he extends this to his direction in TV and film as well. When it comes to capturing the mood, it totally works. But sometimes the flow of the actual narrative is lost in the process.

Yup, was an interesting twist, but let's see what happens now. He also gets to redo his
request from that weird guy
My Bride is a Mermaid ep.17
This may be the 1 tine that thete might have been toouch craziness going on, but it was still funny to watch. Hopefully, it gets back on track next episode and that damn inspector goes away soon.
I'm so used to ignoring Youtube comments that I ddin't even bother to check LOL. As for Eden of the East, I never watched that show. I've heard of it of course but I never got around to it and I heard the ending was bad. Is it a show I should check out? There's also a movie right?

Oh boy, tomorrow will bring us another exciting episode of Hundred.
It's been a long week, but we can finally learn more about the lore of Hundred.

It looks like things aren't going to get any less creepy from what other said in here, but they really went all out here. First there's obvious implications of bestiality, then mental images of bear-on-underage-miko action as pictured by grade schoolers? Really?

Memes are bad, but this is the one show that is worthy of a certain memetic seal of approval.
Episode is titled "Bodyguard" but we don't know for certain whose body Hayato will guard. Gonna be good.

Oh yeah that's right! Ahaha wonder if he will take the easy route this time around, or if he'll just pick the same thing.
Oh yes.X3

Sankarea ep.7
Damn; childhood friend despair all the way. If she, herself watches anime, then she should know that she has no shot at all. You just have to feel bad for her, even though you shouldn't since they're cousins and all, but hey, her parents are all for it.

Interesting ep of Re:Zero. I guess somebody in the house, mainly the house head didn't like him getting so close to Emilia
At first I thought it was like if he survived a day then that would be the new jumping off point; but he lasted like a week and got reset back at the beginning so I guess it works like a checkpoint system and he has to complete some kinda goal to avoid being sent back to far
and killed him in his sleep

That's because the fanbase is terrible.

Yeah I interpreted it the same way, he was killed in his sleep without him realizing it which reset him back to the start of that plotline. I think you're spot on about the checkpoint system, given how much he references games/other anime tropes in the genre.
Really like this show. MC of the year, his personality carries the whole show.
We got to see that firsthand today.
