S3 is Erina's season seriously.
Made in Abyss - Episode 2
The OP and ED are both very nice and fit the aesthetics of the show perfectly. The production values continue to be really good and I love the detail in the backgrounds. The music is sogood.gif. Story's getting a little more interesting but I guess they're in no hurry to go anywhere fast. I wonder if they have multiple seasons planned or if the story just isn't very big? When does the EOing actually begin? Fun show so far. Hope it doesn't get bad.

He didnt discover it. Sarah herself told him. Hero is therefore the ice cream man.
Fucking crushed. Taneda makes Erina period. The timing was kind of pushing it and I'm glad both the production and her agency talked it over.
It's going to be super difficult not hearing Taneda's Erina for the most important season.
Two can play this game by me saying the same words or worse about Tom, and besides, you can't change what's already set in the manga anyhow, so you can stop right there.

An opposing point of view about gaming goals leads Tendou to reflect on her club and hobby. I've begun to notice a problem with the way that Tendou views Amano that hopefully turns around. She's taken an interest in him for being particularly meek. That kind of reinforcement of low self-esteem is disappointing but not unexpected. What follows between the two seems separate from the rest of the show, which makes for a lopsided split in content. On the one hand, there's this train wreck of a one-sided infatuation—mission impossible by the medium's standards—and on the other hand, there's the more organic web of misfits carving each other's persona. Tendou's antics bleed into the other half of the narrative, but she will hopefully be absorbed into it soon enough.
Dispelling initial impressions of character has surfaced as the primary vehicle of introducing complexity to the cast, and it's gradually edging into manipulative territory. Hopefully the writer isn't a one-trick pony. Yet, Tendou seems slightly different as a character. Created with the purpose to serve as an obstacle and a sandbag, she is in contrast to the more natural characters. I do believe the strength of the narrative lies in those other characters; however, demolishing Tendou's charisma is clearly a driving force for the show's humor. But that's not to say I disapprove; I just prefer what else the show has to offer. Amano was able to see his new friend, Uehara, as something more than just filler for multiplayer, so there's a chance he will eventually be able to see Tendou for who she is and not just what she represents.

God damnit, another fuckin' Isekai.
And what the hell, those noses!
Before anyone says it, I've watched more 90s anime, this isn't my first one, and they usually didn't have these noses.
Some nice animation with people running, etc.

Really bad news for the anime production...
Don't get you RL peeps and yout anime characters twisted.
Erina sucks and her asst. is better...
Erina needs to get chopped down a peg already..
Is this the "bad" arc or the next one?
Bah, Saki's not a bitch. She's the best character on the show and totally cares about all the members.
You fucking take that back now.

It would be extreamly painful...
Would "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" be considered the first Isekai?

It's strange how she "sticks up" for them when it comes to others picking on the group, but the Genshiken crew is all scared of her, lol..

Not enough harem.

There is the bit where the hero suddenly outwits his opponent with some hidden ability previously unknown to the inhabitants of that land (in this case a gun). He might as well do that thing where he adjusts his glasses and the light reflects off them just before he does it.

It won't start bad, but yeah, this will mostly be the disappointing arc. It's improving a bit but seems to be running out of ideas.
Though they could fix/lessen some of the early-bad stuff with some small changes/reshuffling.

Maybe, I think lessen is the best they can do though, unless they plan on doing a polygon pictures level rewrite/restructuring.
The first arc this season should cover is actually one of the best in the series. It's only after that it gets pretty dumb, with the manga only recently recovering. Knowing the anime they'll probably just rush through the good stuff because it isn't important enough or some shit.
There are some parts that come across as really dumb but sorta get explanations/justifications later on that make them slightly less dumb in hindsight. Which is why they should just put those explanations/justifications earlier.
There's probably no complete salvaging though and I have to say that after the second anime season (which I still haven't finished) I'm not really expecting anything anyway.
The first arc of the new season should be fantastic if they do it right, though.

This next arc has a lot of compounding issues. One it runs longer than it really should, especially for such a one note villain at its core. It drags in parts as it does a lot of work to set up the new status quo, delves into quite a few flashbacks to explain the origins of this arc, tries to inject new stuff into its format but isn't as interesting as the shokugeki, also feels sometimes like a retread of other arcs/ideas in the manga.
It's basically a big old mess in my opinion. It would take a lot of restructuring, better charactization, and some serious rewrites to actually improve it. That's just my opinion though and hey maybe once in anime form the arc will improve tremendously, but food wars was denying in the jump rankings for months because of this arc.
Fate/Apocrypha 6
Artoria Altria appears as a guest character and even the enemies can't stop saying how perfect she is. Yep, this is Fate.
The fights that followed were really ridiculous. Loli assassin and female Dock Ock. What the hell. And Astolfo's master continues not to make any sense.
Fake Saber gets wrecked.

The Fate series confuses and disturbs me.
It's Funko Pops level of I don't understand why this is popular.

It's waifus from history in Anime form.
Whenever something is ridiculously popular with a certain crowd, first question is whether there are waifus.

Isn't that what Re:Creators is?
Sort of. He gets a regular girl (whose probably his main squeeze), but he gets
three young slave girls.
I didn't know that's what Capcom is.
Action was a bit too sluggish and difficulty too easy.

Huh. I didn't notice it at first, but there's three heads in the bushes to the guy's left.

It never stops being disappointing
Made in Abyss - Episode 3 to 5
The show's pretty nice but the pace feels sooooooooo slow. It's like watching someone play EO on super easy mode and stopping every 5 minutes to pee. Weird. Between the designs and the story so far I don't think it really sells the feeling that the Abyss is particularly dangerous. The show keeps telling us it is, the characters keep telling us it is, but I'm... not really convinced. Not sure how this is going to end in a single season either.

It's not going to end (unless it pulls off a sharp anime-original diversion, which I doubt) in the sense that the manga is still ongoing, so certainly we aren't reaching the bottom of the Abyss by the 13th episode.
You mean the entire story? It won't.
Then what's the point of doing it at all?
