Bad Girl
I'm curious as to how the mangaka fits NTR into a 4 koma manga without a male protagonist. Because that seems to be his forte.

Idol glowstick funnels. That's a new way to incorporate a mecha influence into a magical girl anime.

Someone put a ring on the Summer Pockets anime cause this adaption is as faithful as it gets.

I'm so glad, I've been nervous about adaption of games I've played ever since the travesty that was the Rewrite anime.

Finally finished the dub for Dragon Ball Daima since they uploaded the last 2 episodes at once this weekend. Even though this was my first time watching any DB series with Kid Goku as the protagonist (never watched the original DB and never watched GT) this was a fun experience. Plus, since it was a pretty short series, there was no filler and it was all story and action the whole way. Good stuff.

Speaking of dubs... it's hilarious that the Witch Watch dub got David Vincent to voice the villain that kidnapped Nico in episode 4. Of course they got the former voice of Senketsu from Kill La Kill to voice a set of sentient clothing again. Of course they did.

The whole reason I started watching this weird Compass show was because best girl Delmin would be making cameos in the show for some reason. But... she wasn't anything like Show by Rock Delmin personality wise. Also she was extremely weak for some reason when she's one of the most OP things in Show by Rock. I came out of that episode feeling like I just watched a crossover ep where Super Saiyan God Blue Goku lost to Naruto lmao.

Looks like I'm on episode 6 of Daima so far. At my pace its gonna be a long time before I finish.

I like how Princession Orchestra can use the logic of "the girls are wearing leotards so technically these aren't pantyshots and technically it's not lewd" to get away with shots like this in a kids anime.

Met up with my high school friend and we did our usual first episode exchange. I already long showed them a lot of the most stand out shows from recent years, so i had to dive back a number of years in my anime list to come up with my selection.

I showed them:
The Witch and the Beast
Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
I'm in Love with the Villainess
Black Rock Shooter
Chio's School Road
Kiznaiver

They showed me:
Sakamoto Days
Nanbaka
Dandandandandandandandandandandandandandandandandandan
Buddy Daddies
Fruits Basket
Blue Lock

They LOVED Witch and the Beast the most, followed by Kiznaiver. They almost died laughing watching Sleepy Princess and Chio. They really liked Villainess. I wasn't sure what they thought of Black Rock Shooter but I think it melted their brain. I restrained a little bit about how much I loved the little monster Kagari, but I went full Rei over Claire-sama.

As for what they showed me:
Sakamoto Days was fun, though I thought I heard there was a lot of production issues with the show? If so I didn't notice it in the first ep.
Nanbaka dropped my iq, but no more than Chio's Road Home. Those are some sparkly men. Totally didn't think half of the dudes were girls at first.
Dandandandandandandandandandandan was uh, interesting? Probably my least favorite of the shows. Not sure if I'll continue.
Buddy Daddies, reminds me of Spy Family and Sakamoto Days which I totally didn't just watch for the first time. Protect the smile.
Fruits Basket, this is definitely going to hurt the soul yes?
Blue Lock, normally I would not ever expect to watch a soccer show but the premise was really interesting.

Not really. From the clips I've seen and what my brother's said about the show, there weren't any production issues and the animation is fine. The problem is that "fine" was seen as a huge downgrade by the manga readers compared to the manga, so they immediately went in with a bad perception of the show. Anime-onlies seem to have enjoyed it a lot more. I haven't watched the show yet, so take the above with a grain of salt. I'll probably binge it once the upcoming second cour is fully aired and dubbed.

It's basically Spy x Family but with 2 dads. Fun show.

The early parts are mostly fine, but the later seasons really crank up the drama. It's an amazing show, but it's the type of show that I'm not sure you'd like in the long run. If you do watch it, make sure you watch the 2019 remake. The original anime from 2001 is completely obsolete since the remake exists.

Yeah, it was the 2019 remake they showed me. Not sure how many of the shows I'll stick with but I'll toss them on the to watch list for now.

Digimon Ghost Game. There's 65 or so episodes, which is a lot for me as I tend to just watch one episode before bed.

A shame it got licensed by Amazon of all streaming services. As much as I really want to watch this show, I also really don't want to give Bezos more money. But I have a few weeks to decide which of those feelings will outweigh the other.

Is sailing the seven seas an option?

It's not an option that I want to take if it can be avoided. It doesn't feel morally right to me to pirate an anime that has a legal streaming option available. Plus, the legal streaming option is usually way more convenient than dealing with the extra hassle of piracy. Unless a show is completely unlicensed and piracy is the only realistic option to watch the show (like what's happening with Princession Orchestra) then I'll use the legal option. So in this situation with City The Animation, either I'll give in and watch it on Amazon or I'll just skip it entirely unless some other streaming service gets it. Again, I'm not sure yet.

Now that I'm done with my current anime, I need something new to watch. Any recommendations? I would prefer something newer with only one season so I don't have to dedicate a bunch of time to it. It also has to be on Crunchyroll because my subscription just renewed and I don't want to waste it. I'm just waiting for Witch Hat Atelier to hurry up and release but who knows when that will be.

Just gonna drop a bunch here, all different genres.

  • Brave Bang Bravern!
  • Deca-Dence
  • Granbelm
  • Katana Maidens ~ Toji No Miko
  • Kill La Kill
  • Sabikui Bisco (this one has a 2nd season confirmed to be coming in the future, but that has no release date)
  • Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
  • The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady
  • Tomo-chan Is a Girl!
  • Train to the End of the World
All of these are 26 episodes or less, so not big time investments, and all of them are on Crunchyroll. Bravern, Granbelm, MagiRevo, and End Train are sub-only, all the others have an English dub. All of them are recent too (Kill La Kill is the "oldest" show here and that's from 2014, so not that old) so none of them look dated. If you have any questions about any of them, feel free to ask.

I might watch Kill La Kill although I've seen you post about Train to the End of the World before. Do any of these anime give feelings of melancholy? And I prefer sub due to watching anime before going to bed... at like 2 or 3 in the morning so I don't put the TV volume up very high.

The closest of those to being a "melancholy" show would be Granbelm.

Fair enough. Since you watch anime before bed, I think you'd get a kick out of Sleepy Princess. The show is literally about a princess who will do anything (and I mean anything ) to get a good night's sleep. It's hilarious, it's cute, it's great.

Holy shit, Toei actually acknowledged the long lost Ocean dub of Pretty Cure. This is the first time this dub has ever been acknowledged (much less been made legally viewable) in the United States. Magical DoReMi popping up again after being lost in licensing hell is cool too.

Still easily one of the best magical girl shows. It's a shame they never adapted the sequel novels.
