ah yes, Zoku Owarimonogatari, sometime this year.

Meanwhile, go watch zaregoto series. It's the closest thing to monogatari that's not monogatari.

Hmm... I'm not really sure what to feel about Patapon 3's changed system.

In the first two games, you build a whole army of three squadrons with up to 6 patapons in each.

Now, you only fight using 4 "hero" patapons.

Also, they got rid of the Rarepon system where you can customize each and every patapon to be a unique unit, and replaced it with a straight leveling and class/job switch system.

However, weapons are a lot more effective now. Instead of using mats to change patapons, you use it to level up weapons.

All those things I can get used to and eventually learn to have fun with though. The biggest change I'm not really liking is the increased focus on multiplayer, and having entire sections of the game blocked off, and content locked behind the multiplayer.

I realize I'm a lot late for the party though, and maybe the multiplayer wouldn't be so bad in my eyes if I had a proper psp and actual people to play with.

Watched the first 7 eps of darling in the franxx. At first I wasn't really feeling very engaged but it's done better since then. I feel bad for Goro as of now. I feel like I've seen the same type of character in the exact same situation a few times before. I'm also a little torn cause I don't really like zero two or ichigo. Oh well zero two has the better character design and is destined to "win" by virtue of being shown to the audience first (spoilers, the first girl you see virtually always wins).

I kinda feel like the writer just liked that one episode of eva where shinji and asuka have to fight in perfect sync to defeat that one angel and just made a whole show about that episode.

I'm also really not feeling the threat yet. Everything feels like its going a little too well and like this is when they would normally turn things around on you and brutally kill off of a few of the main characters (probably fatty and one of the girls at minimum) so we get that "this shit is serious, don't go goofing around" moment. I actually hope it doesn't happen though cause I hate to think it's really that formulaic.

Almost caught up on darling in the franxx. Kinda bummed at the route they went in episode 14. Felt a bit forced.

It's obnoxious watching ichigo waste her time going after hiro that just clearly isn't interested, although I could see him trying to force it for a few episodes. I also have no understanding of why zero two would have even briefly let them confine her and not just go straight to hiro. It all just feels melodramatic and silly. Poor Goro, being exactly the character I knew he would be within the first like 3 lines of his dialogue. Still surprised they haven't bothered to kill anyone off. At this point Goro's character arc could be considered complete so they could cash him in for some drama to enhance the ichigo hiro nonsense. Kokoro seems like a likely death candidate.

So I gave up on Patapon 3. Too much grinding and the changes didn't really sit well with me.

Now I'm starting on Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time.

At the point where I choose my familiar, and I can't decide! They're all pretty cute. Help me pick one out!

"Serious, skilled, and serene. Thinks all familiars are tools for humans to use."

qZHQHPC

"Cheerful and talkative."

OeW31Pn

"Petite and ditsy"

HxT5SWL

"Cool and composed"

rgHUiIy

Apparently there's an ending that involves your fairy familiar growing big and having a relationship with you, so take that into consideration.

Watched ep 5 of megalo box. Still pretty good. Not as good as Ippo though. Not yet anyway.

New GGO episode was super cool. LLENN is cooler than she should be allowed to be.

New Darling episode! With new opening animation hinting at a lot of stuff.... I'm not done with the episode yet, but it is slice of life-ish. Very different Zero Two. I wonder if that will last. Also the doctor is 100% trying to get these kids to have sex.

Finished Little Witch Academia. The series takes a nosedive in the second half. Almost every single episode heavily involves something that Croix is doing, having her act as the show's Rita Repulsa ("Oh, so they're doing this, huh? Well, let me spice things up!") and it focus far too much on the overarching (and pretty meh) plot too much.

That said, the episode where Akko helps Constanze was really fun and the Diana episode (which iirc didn't feature Croix at all) was pretty good. Plus some of the revelations near the end were great, even if the foreshadowing was weak or barely existed (although -- overlooking that some of it didn't necessarily make much sense -- it adequately answered some larger questions).

And (major spoilers) Croix's character motivations seemed all over the place, considering that some of her games seemed designed to kill people yet other times yet she was also working on the "greater good" angle, etc. Not to mention that she tried to save Chariot an episode or two before trying to kill her.

And, of course, Croix herself just comes out of nowhere. She was a new character introduced with relatively little buildup and I can't remember if she was even featured in the photos in earlier episodes that showed some of the earlier students.

Kinda gotta figure out what I'm going to watch next. There are a few LA shows I still want to binge but, as noted earlier, that stuff is harder to watch on a tablet. Kinda thinking of checking out Silver Spoon since it looks like a slice of life comedy. Otherwise I could force myself to finally watch the rest of Tiger & Bunny since it's now on NFI (I think I had started to watch it on Hulu years ago?).


what do you mean by LA shows?

Also, Silver spoon is one of my favorites. Would recommend it to all.

Just watched ep 16 of darling. Things are clearly going way too well but they have been the whole time honestly. The feeling I get from this show is that it wants to do something brutal and vicious after building up our attachment to the characters but I really expected whatever that was to have happened by now. Surface level it makes sense that squad 13 will eventually have to stop the council of adults and destroy hringierier or whatever the hell its called probably while also defeating some sort of klax thing. My mind is going according to eva's script though with the instrumentality project and the final angel being humanoid.

We also have the storybook that is clearly supposed to be talking about whats happening. Following that the beast has cast aside her wings. If you actually read the text of the storybook when they showed the whole thing at one point you would know that it ends with the princess almost killing the prince but instead leaving forever leaving the prince heartbroken and depressed. Perhaps zero two could actually become human by killing squad 13 or end up losing what little humanity she has. Of course, if that is the way the story goes I don't really expect the ending to remain the same.

Warning bells are also starting to go off with episode count. We clearly have A LOT of ground to cover and only 8 episodes left. Thats doable but a rushed ending seems very possible. Oh also I'm not sure if miku's hair is actually white or if thats another way the illness they all seem to be getting shows. We know infected children don't become adults so perhaps they die from some kind of rapid aging or deterioration.

Not sure how to feel about the latest GGO. The fight choreography went from "kinda crazy" to "what the fuck". How the fuck is LLENN missing a full clip of P90 fire at point blank? How did the other people miss so damn much. If they could see their accuracy stats after the game everyone would be sub 10 except M, the only person not using the bullet circle. They went on and on about how useful the bullet circle is but these people can't hit shit. The tactics also went from SWAT to YOLO real fast. I almost feel like a different person wrote the first two episodes.

Still watchable but kind falling short of how I hoped it would go.

Watched Wakfu the other month on NFI (but I don't think I mentioned it here because it's not anime) which was surprisingly good (for seasons 1 & 2, anyway -- the OVA-arc sucked and season 3 was kinda lame except for Dally and his daughter). It's like a budget Avatar: TLA. The only real issue is that the first few episodes are incredibly bad.

Haven't been watching any anime. Been watching Lost in Space on the netflix though. It's annoying me.

Made some progress in Granblue though. Got all my SSR characters to their max level except one and just unlocking her uncap is a huge pain that I'm going to avoid for the foreseeable future. Also unlocked tier 4 classes finally and got two of them(Berserker and Chaos Ruler). Have enough for one more tier 4 class or for glorybringer. Xeno and Unite and Fight are going to suck for me, since my dirt/wind teams are lacking. I've been working on my dark too lol. Finally got a 3 star Celeste omega summon. Took me way longer to acquire than the other elements.

Current dark grid:

mh: baha dagger nova sl10
1x celeste claw 3 star sl10
1x celeste claw 1 star sl10
2x celeste claw 0 star sl10
1x celeste axe 3 star sl3
1x celeste axe 0 star sl1
1x celeste spear 3 star sl10
1x xeno katana 0 star sl6
1x emperor's hand ex wep 3 star sl1

I still need to skill up some things of course and replace the spear with something, but it's getting better.

Hmmm... I'm not really sure how to feel about Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

I gave it a try last night and, at first, I thought everything was great!

The graphics were clean and colorful, and the mechanic where you use the WiiU screen as a phone was pretty neat.

But then the battles came in... and all these characters were saying lines... BUT THERE WERE NO SUBS!

It's pretty frustrating not knowing what these characters are saying, especially if you have a little bit of knowledge on japanese words.

It's almost as if I wish I have absolute zero knowledge of japanese words because at least then I can ignore it, instead of making futile guesses at what they're saying based on one or two words I might recognize.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure she didn't know she could write in it. Also she didn't have the book for a while. Along the same lines when they didn't believe she made the bread I would have been like oh yeah come to my house right now and we gonna eat some more bread fools

Ohhhhhhh
Almost finished my Monogatari re-watch
I'd actually realised that I hadn't seen season 2 of Owarimonogatari or Koyomimonogatari. this time I did and started with Koyo which turned out to be a really good idea given how S2 of Owari directly continues on from where Koyo ends.
I have to say that I wasn't expecting the twist about what "Ougi-chan" really was but upon reflection all the clues were there, really good stuff, I'll be looking forward to Zoku whenever it comes out
