I'd be fine with that if they were going to pay their translators a living wage.
(Somehow I doubt that, but hey, maybe...)
Pokemon (2019) 24
(Time to catch up...) I prefer eps like this when Team Rocket is doing other stuff than "catch Pikachu" every time. I liked how they were used in Sun and Moon with only sometimes focusing on Pikachu, while most eps just featured them hanging out with the huggy bear family. Definitely one aspect of the main show (along with Ash/Satoshi) that I wish they would get rid of... At least in Best Wishes! they were more 'darker' but apparently Japanese fans hated it, so after the earthquake hiatus, they changed them back to silly/slap-stick :/

Yes. I watch it for the epic battles. There needs to be a season 2 of this.
True, the first series's 5 volumes are small. With the right team, they could add in some original content and have a nice 12 episode SoL yuri series. The storytelling in the manga does make it hard to adapt in general, since the mangaka factors in how sporadic chapters are published.
Brand New Animal (Finished)
✅ Incredibly stylish animation
✅ Lovely character designs and artwork and aesthetic
✅ Kickass soundtrack by mabanua and a banger OP/ED combo
✅ Amazing world and story potential
✅ Hype as fuck
✅ Super rushed and never reached its potential
✅ Probably wont get a sequel
Overall, I loved this show but damn the ending was rushed. So many story elements were left open and the world was largely unexplored. There's SO much they could have done with this idea had it been 2 cours.
I just dont get why series spend the middle arcs just meandering and then just rush to finish it.
Still, this is exactly what I was looking for and I really loved it. Too bad it got Netflixd otherwise it would have been even more popular.

It is as generic as they come but hey, atleast the main character gets together with someone early on instead of the final episode like most "harem" anime.
It is one of the better "trash" anime. Not that bad if you just want something light and entertaining without depth.
Kind of like Jason X or Punisher Warzone where the story and characters are dumb and bad but you watch it anyway cause you can turn of your brain and enjoy it for the dumb action.
Yeah. I was shocked when I saw that ''What, they actually hook up this early!?''. Usually in these kind of shows they play around with the harem aspect forever. I guess author took inspiration from SAO lol.
Oh no, I loved it. Massive grin on my face whole episode. I'm in for this ride.
Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise 19
As much as I love Loran, Hiroto might be the best Gundam protag since Domon. What in the fuck at ending the ep the way they did tho? c'mon man
Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise 20
I've been out of touch with where the Build series is. I really liked the first season but thought Try was a let down in comparison.
Is this one more of a return to form?
Assassination Classroom End.
I actually liked the ending, very full filling. Lord that last fight was weak shit though, practically a dragon ball episode. Liked it, definitely gets weaker in its last arc, but I think it has a strong character arc so good.

Less a return to form and more a successful attempt at something new. Build Divers had the promise of infinite possibility with the online stuff but it wasn't until Re:Rise that it managed to do so while escaping the usual Gundam mold.
all about dat direction and writing. sure the actual story can be 'mob and reigan go fight a vegetable monster' but if the themes and the allusions and the way stuff is constructed for the viewer is tight, even that can be so much more
Yeah that stuff is what makes the show shine....if only the antagonist at the end of S2 lived up to the rest of the season it would have been perfect.
OP
OP
You can but it's fairly lackluster in comparison. Think I only watched half but had no problem getting into this. I'll probably go back and finish it sometime though.
Does that mean escaping Gundam's usual poor handling of women? (Who am I kidding.)
OP
OP
For the most part, yeah. The show sort of revels in how un-Gundam it is to the point out of outright saying it in the first or second ep.
Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise 20 -
Yea, Hiroto is easily one of the better Gundam protagonists. That monologue at the end sealed it. Seeing how he almost crushed himself under his own jealousy, despair, and rage has been the highlight of this 2nd half. He lost everything while having to watch someone else pull off what he couldn't do. Then afterwards he's just filled to the brim with self-loathing. This is uh really good stuff from a Gundam series. Hiroto has had a hard life.
It almost makes me want to watch Gundam Build Divers. Almost.

They're both good. I recommend watching the newer one, and then go back to the older one if you can't wait.
i was going to complain about the crunchy app but now the hidive app won't even load so
Wasteful Lives of High School Girls 1
Pretty good, though the romance confession joke went on for even longer than I thought. Looking forward to hanging out with these absolute dumbasses.

dont know why one would think that when the pv from last week date dr. stone s2 for 2021
Please Twins! 1-END + OVA
I watched Please Teacher years ago, but forgot to watch this one for some reason, so I booted up it last week and finished it rather quickly. I havent looked, but I 'm guessing the music was done by the same people that did most of the Key works from this same time period because it was really well done. The story itself, well, it was alright, but felt pretty rushed towards the end with an abrupt conclusion to everything. Anyhow, it was a decent watch

DTL we want to believe!!!! It is human nature, it's like me an thinking Shinji and Kaworu will live happily ever after Evangelion 3.0+1.0
I haven't thought about Onegai Teacher/Twins in years. Do they both hold up? There's a OVA too? I guess I need to check it out.
From what people are saying, the subs for ep2 are fine as well.
Iroduku 1-3
This is pretty nice so far. The first episode was stunning. Felt like I was watching a movie.
PA Works constantly crushing it with the crazy gorgeous background artwork.
I'm expecting lots of nonsensical drama in the last third but it's a pleasant watch nonetheless.

I watched an episode of Lucky Star absolutely blasted last night and I felt like I understood nothing and everything all at once
The humans are humans. They just have a chip to track them or so. Our main character is a bug because she lives but has no chip. I presume that yes this is a remote controlled situation and they are underground?
