The show is bad unless you like looking at big tits and MCs being edgy.

Good episode, aside from the usual creepy pedo-touch.

Made In Abyss 11
A friend warned me Nanachi would steal the show when she showed up and boy was he right. I love how pragmatic she is about this whole situation with some doses of dark humor in there as well. Mitty having the voice of a child rather than the voice of the monstrous creature she now is is kinda sad though.

Folded posters are just bad.
Why are they including a poster for that male idol smartphone game with Your Name? These Western anime companies just make no sense!
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
So most anime fans would like it?

Re:Creators 22 END
Well all around good ending, I wish we did get a Kanoya (Monomagia: Infinte Over Machine Season 2) swimsuit episode, need to see those legs. Im glad he gets to keep his mecha models.
Yuya and Shou still having a good time and sticking together was extremely pleasing, loved Yuya deciding to go back just cause of him.
Everything else was awesome, Im glad the full resolution was given an episode and not just like a 1 minute thing in the previous episode like some series would have done.
Still what of Magane? Did I miss something.

Re:Creators 22
Decent wrap up. Thought Meteora was going to beat Sota to print, but it looks like he got to work. Meteora plagiarizing.
Favorite part of the show probably ended up being the scenes of Blitz and his creator.
I feel like I missed something too lol.

I'm not planning on picking apart plot holes in Jojo, but I still have to ask.

Re:Creators, Completed - This final episode perfectly highlighted both the highs and lows of this series overall. The actual premise of the series is an interesting one; how creations would react if they realized their stories were fictions and they came face-to-face with their creators. Doubly so when you have characters like Celesia, Aliceteria, and Blitz who all dealt with Gutz-esque level of suffering in their respective worlds.
So when it came to the creations have their final heart-to-hearts with their creators here, it was definitely the high point. The problem is all the fucking dry exposition and even this final episode didn't relent from it. Also not helping matters is I feel like too much stuff was packed into this final episode. Much as I enjoyed how they handled the recap episode, the fact that it was pre-planned makes me feel that the ending would've been better without it for the sake of pacing.
Overall, Re:Creators is kind of a mixed bag of a series. There was some high points with the concepts, fight choreography, and OST, but is heavily flawed.

Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul - 22
WTF happened to the sound effects?!
A very odd episode overall. Definitely felt rushed with the two-minute backstory. But really, wtf happened with the sound effects?! It's the one thing that really stood out to me. It was really weird having the action on-screen undersold by the sound so badly.
Also, Jeanne's speech was hilariously bad. What happened there? Couldn't be arsed to write more than two lines for that?
I wonder if they were running into production issues with this episode or if things just didn't gel or whatnot. It's really weird how much this episode stands out with regards to the rest of the series.
Still excited for the finale, though!

Hey, after this consensus of the series not being good enough, I have to say episode 11 was much better.
It wasn't full of stills! And even had some sakuga parts!

The conclusion of the Arc was well done.
BTW, watch after the credits, there is a scene.

Tatara reaches his limits, in both endurance and skill, but He has a unique charm, and he dances a contagious emotion, so you can see that as promising talent for the future. I like the moment where they announce who wins, you are thinking if Gaju or Tatara... but then the reality plants itself. You silly shonen sports fan, he never had chances of winning for real, he ends 7th. And it's already a good result, given he is a beginner. How Tatara cries explaining how for a moment he thought he could win... heartbreaking.
Of course the queen of the ballroom awards appears of out nowhere to fix things and at least show he was good at focusing on his partner, and that way the competition is won without being too unrealistic.

HxH Last Mission-
I enjoyed this movie a lot more. For starters it actually felt like a movie from a production standpoint. The layouts were more interesting, the fight choreography unusual such as the elevator skirmish, the storyboarding used good angles to display motion, and the art direction had a lot more effort put into it.
I only had two complaints. The first is that the composition in the movie is really lackluster at times and detracts from the experience. The second is that the climax is pretty underwhelming and the dialogue was getting too cheesy. Still though, it's not a bad send-off for the anime and characters considering I won't ever see watch them again.

With the Dark Continent arc starting in '25 because they'll start from the beginning of the series again.
You know Meteora we really are the Re:CREATORS 22
This was... an ending, I guess. I was honestly expecting the show to pull one last twist. Like I was expecting one of the characters to go "How did Altair appear in this world to begin with? What if we are all characters in a story too???" or something.
She flew the country and she's probably running a criminal empire in America or something.

It's nice to be optimistic.

In 2019 Jump will convince Togashi to just let his wife (Sailor Moon's Mangaka) to draw the manga while he writes it. Expect the next season of HxH to be much more Shoujo, and less Killua X Gon BL then HxH 2011.

Rewatching Idolmaster for some reason and I realize one very important thing. CG cars are better than badly drawn cars.
It's always so off-putting.
Also the second half of the first cour was so strong, kind of sad that it took Idolmaster until Chihaya's arc to return to that quality.

That would be incredibly unusual for the Japanese TV timeslot it's airing in, but if that's true then it's more likely that the show will be able to maintain the high production values it has shown in its trailers.

This is kind of cute. I like all the couples so far except the student council sexual assault president. Their story is kind of gross and not cool at all.
Wonder what happened to the first couple from episode one? Figured they would be one of the mains but haven't seen them since then.

Misunderstandings can actually be some really fun trope in a well executed comedy.
However, what really grinds me gears is how often anime start out setting up some hilarious misunderstandings, like School Rumble or Minami-Ke but then simply do not know where to go anymore and stagnate completely. Often clearing up the misunderstandings would make for a dramatic shift in the character relationships and, oh boy, that's actually a tad demanding on the writer(s)! Can't have that, better keep the status quo even when it doesn't even make the slightest sliver of sense anymore that the misunderstandings still haven't cleared up.
All that cross-dressing stuff in Minami-Ke, which was really fun in the first season, went absolutely nowhere, despite fifty thousand episodes of the one cross-dressing dude wanting to clear it up/tell the truth. Repetition ad absurdum is all I got.

With some months delay I watched Flip Fap...Flappers.
That kind of narrative and animation made it the best of the season by far imo. Problem is it does not offer anything new like Abenobashi, Madoka or Penguin Drum. It is just an eclectic mixture of the best elements of the above series. So hype was less. But I like those kind of series.

Mineta's sole drive is that he is one of the main character's male friends in a harem series
