Watched episodes 10-13 of LWA and I noticed an improvement in pace when compared to previous episodes. First OVA and movie vibes appeared. I'll watch the whole second cours in a few months. But it misses the element that would make me want to watch a whole series straight in one sitting. This is why I'll wait for it to finish and see if watching all remaining episodes at once will make a difference. 1 episode a week is something I hate really.

But no matter how things improve, it doesnt reach the quality of Tweeny Witches or even Magic Users Club OVA.

The new OP is pretty damn badass!

However,
Takumi
is a certified jerk as we knew was going to be the case. Hachi is in for a world of hurt, but we knew that was going to be the case (she shoukd know as well)

Now my CG tolerance levels are high I admit, but I didn't think this was half bad. MC got the good life, can just order her cute robots to fought and she gets paid.

Well do see some crazy stuff but mostly what you expect from Anime. I wonder how much crazy it can go from where I am but guess I will continue to watch how crazy it can go in the rabbit hole.

Tsugumu 1 - Yeah. Thats pretty much how I remember the manga.

Souryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni 1 - interesting subject matter for a short. Think I'd prefer this longer form.

Taiyou getting the good cardfights again, all his Gurgits are great especially, Holy Sword of Heavenly Law Gurgit. He also has some really good looking cards.

Best cards were easily, Favorite Champ, Victor from Kamui, and also Gurgits from Taiyou

Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records Ep: 1.

Girls literally get more mana if the skin over belly is exposed because uterus draws mana like crazy.

Unlike males, females are recommended to wear less clothing during their academic period in order to increase their affinity to the magic power in their surroundings called ‘mana’.

Though not completely. Its not like all Sentai shows are amazon exclusives now. Just most it seems.

Dunno if that's due to pre-existing arrangements prior to a supposed Amazon/Sentai deal or whether some committees refused to allow an exclusive like that.

Oh nice, it's the Quiet-tier justification for fanservice and sexist clothes all over again.

...Seriously, just make the justification "the principal's a pervert" rather than that kind of bullshit. Raw magical energy having a preference for almost-naked girls but not giving a damn about what male magicians wear is... ugh...

Well, the last few episodes had a complete different tone than the rest of the show, which is unfortunate because the show was just fun before and the dramatic tone wasn't needed. Overall, the show was pretty fun to watch with sone unique characters, but we never did get a ship and nobody beat the shit out of one of the worst characters in anine. Literally, no point to her at all....

It seems clear that Sentai now views Crunchyroll as a threat after their Funimation partnership. Thus whereas Sentai was happy to partner with Crunchyroll when CR was strictly its own streaming service they now wish to partner with Amazon (who aren't currently a threat when it comes to physical releases) to build a credible competitor to CR.

There is a reason why we all said it sorta went to shit after the halfway point.

This is one possibility. Another possibility is that Amazon and Netflix making more aggressive moves behind the scenes is what prompted Funi and CR to team up in the first place. Remember, what we see as end users is the final result after negotiations in the background.

Is that actually in the episode? My wife and I don't recall any mention of why the girls are dressed the way they are. I don't doubt that being the reasoning, but I don't remember them addressing it.

I agree with you there. I think Amazon started to make aggressive moves first, and now Sentai has decided to jump on Amazon's bandwagon because they see Amazon as a good partner. Of course, as you say, we don't know all that happened behind the scenes.

The light novel readers told me this was the case. It hasn't been addressed in the anime yet.

DEM OUTFITS. NOT JARRING AT ALL.

Sensei is basically a side character from a somewhat competently written comedy being forced to carry some generic magic high school thing on his own. I can't see this going well.

Sentai better start dubbing more then a third of the show they pick-up with that Amazon money. Make that damn partnership at least a little bit worthwhile.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon offered them a lot of money for their shows, since they have plenty and are clearly willing to spend a lot of it securing content.

Sentai is perhaps the cheapest North American anime company on the market, second to only Media Blasters. I wouldn't expect them to dub more than they already do.

I think one thing is for sure though. Within another year or two, at most, the huge stranglehold CR had on being the "one stop" for anime streaming will probably be completely gone. People better get used to having multiple accounts, or watching less shows.... legally.

If Amazon and Netflix's pace continues, this will definitely happen. Amazon got far more shows than I expected them to this season. If Anime Strike ends up being more successful, I could see it getting even bigger.

That partnership just got worst if that's the case. Cause if they get more shows and still make almost no dubs...yuck.
