JoJo - Daiyamondo #1
Looks interesting, but I've got to agree that it definitely feels weird to see Jotaro looking even younger than before. Josuke looks like a fun protagonist, but the little kid was really meh since it reminded me of the generic guy that's there to narrate everything that happens, only he isn't Joseph so we don't get any OH MY GOD!s out of it.
Gotta agree that the colors look interesting and fit the show's wackyness.
I get that the crappy animation is done on purpose, but it still doesn't feel right. The nonsensical "plot" and weird gags don't do anything for me either, so yeah, the thing I liked best about the episode was the ending.

Mayoiga Ep 1
Ok, I'm on board. The beginning of the OP was weird, but the rest of the song was good; ED was ok. Quite the diverse cast to start the show off with; everyone from Mits, Masaki, Lion, Speedy and the asshole guy starting shit with everyone. The actual character introductions were funny as hell, lol.
They did a good job of setting the tone for the future and included a ton of foreshadowing with sone of the conversations between the characters and the stories being told. Oh,I mean, even the hippo song was a big tip-off to where this is going to go, as well as his "death letter" that will come into play later as he will realize there was no reason to run away from his current life to start anew. Pretty clever (although transparent) if it plays out.
Being an original anime makes this even more interesting because there should be no hinting going on or accidental spoilers.

Hataraku Maou-sama 13 END
As is often the case, this show was much better in comedic mode than serious mode. The central gag of the disconnect in Maou's Ente Isla past and Japan present was fine when the show was aiming to be funny, but when it was trying to be serious it made for a real problem. We know he slaughtered untold numbers of innocents, which not even the couple of attempts to pull a "The Church were the real bad guys and maybe the demons were just misunderstood all along" twist tried to contradict, and there's no transition from that to his nice guy harem hero personality, so I just can't buy into the narrative on any serious dramatic level. Not a complete waste of time, but I can't sympathize with the couple people who still occasionally wish for a second season.
The show should have had more closed eye Maou.

My buddy actually texted this to me earlier out of the blue... WTF is this stuff?

I saw a episode of Sekko Boys. It was quite something lol
It's a show that's better in concept than execution (though I really like OL-hero).
The other Maou series is almost entirely full serious mode all the time and also the protags are somewhat grey, so even though they're protags you get the feeling they'd sacrifice lives for The Greater Good (the greater good). But if you want to do a more simplistic 'good guys v bad guys' sort of thing it's difficult to have a true villain protagonist in that case.
It'd be an interesting challenge, but I kinda feel once you start dipping into a murderous path you're at the least going into morally grey territory which is difficult to balance around
jajaja

Did they seriously put Polar Bear Cafe as #1?
It's a show about talking animals that work at a zoo from 9 to 5 sure, but it's not weird besides that.
Besides the fact it doesn't have more episodes.
give me more Panda-kun

Oh nice, I didnt know there was a PV out for it already. Thought there was just the announcement.
maoyuu maou yuusha, the economics anime. actually a way better manga than anime i think, kinda rubbish adaption from what I hear.
i was actually trying to re-evaluate my opinion of what's weird based on that article. I think I'm in too deep

It's the post-credits scene in episode 13.
Ah, I've heard of that. I'm interested in checking out the manga sometime.

I would recommend checking out the manga before the anime.
Not to say the anime is bad, but it kinda just stops.
Today + random stuff I just didnt post last month for one reason or another.

The Devil is a Part Timer 1-5
Enjoyed the beginning and how well the MC integrated into modern lower class society and unskilled labor but found interest waning as the otherworld stuff began leaking over heavier and heaveir. Actually meant to finish this but netflix wouldnt load episode 6 then I just forgot about it.
Phantom World 7
Kagewani -II- 1
Picked up right where it left off and really shames the recent season of Yamishibai with how effortlessly it manages its atmosphere and tension
JoJo Pt. 4 - 1
Well thats off to a good start. Not sure its all that more well animated than part III but the overall aesthetic is far cleaner and pleasing to the eye. The yellow/umber sky coupled with the rest of the background palette gives me a sense of something being off throughout it all which is a good thing. Reminds me of the palette shifts in part 3 when something was going down or a Stand was being used except its constant.

The opening minutes were a bit rough, but the 2nd half had some genuinely funny moments. There's good comedic potential here.

Well here we go, according to the pre-screening report, the real title of Hai-furi is actually Highschool Fleet.

Not sure how many fans of Gigguk there are in here. But he recently made a video in youtube reviewing Bible Black.
Not his best video, but a new one nonetheless.
I'm conflicted. On one end I really wanna watch the bad dub as it looks hilarious.
On the other hand, I mean, it's porn.

He seems to be liked here more then say Glass Reflections or Digibro.

His review of Fate Zero some years ago is actually what got me to watch the show to begin with.

Video is unavailable in my country T.T
But it's not hard to create a better MC than the one in the original, so I'm looking forward to this spinoff(?).

All the better stuff will start airing next week. At least there is Kuma Miko tomorrow, which should be one of the season's highlights. And Macross I guess.
The dub is infamously terrible and stands the test of time. That is all I have to say on the matter.
Some of the characters seem to overlap with the originals. Who knows, its still more Working so im looking forward to it.

Hmm, the smell of a new thread. Thread title is greato daze
JJBA: Diamond is unbreakable 1
That was great. Love the introduction with woman hand preparing breakfast, subtle reference to future episode, the color palette. Yup, no complain from me. I'm in for a crazy ride.
