Since I'm not going to make an effort to finish anything else from this season any time soon, I may as well post a ranking of what I actually did keep up with. I watched an episode or two of everything, and there were a few potential 6/10s or 5/10s I didn't finish (mostly new seasons in stuff I'd already ranked there, like Index and Golden Kamuy) but most of it was looking like it would land in the 1 to 3/10 range. Every time I looked at that big list of trash I needed to watch, it made my not want to watch any anime at all. Maybe a break and a fresh season will rejuvenate me. After all, I hope to go back and slowly finish them all someday for my goal of completing 100 2018 anime! Anyway:

Iroduku: The World in Colors (10/10)
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai (9/10)
Zombie Land Saga (7/10)
The Girl in Twilight (7/10)
UzaMaid (7/10)
Anima Yell! (7/10)
Ms. vampire who lives in my neighborhood (7/10)
Goblin Slayer (6/10)
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (5/10)
Release the Spyce (4/10)
RErideD (4/10)

I just think Japan's obsession with girls being pure is dumb.

Not surprised someone who likes idol shows would disagree!

currently hoping we get an arc with Kunimi's girlfriend. she's awesome

That would indeed be amazing. I hope it happens in S2

Finished Violet Evergarden

Ok I thought the ending to this show was all different kinds of bad, but there were ten episodes of great anime there, at least.

After sleeping on this, actually what the fuck?

(FYI there is pretty much no filter on this post, so if you really liked the end of this show you may just want to ignore this.) The entire point of Violet's character was supposed to be about moving on from her past as a soldier and from her attachment to the major, and starting a new life. And of course what better way to show that than by making the final arc about the war almost coming back and Violet having to stop it??? And then there's all this drama with the major's brother and with Violet wanting to solve things without killing (to the point that she'll nearly jump off a train to protect a solider trying to kill her), which is about as unbelievable as it is stupid. And then at the very end maybe the major might be still alive because why not? I didn't really care about all that character development anyway. (/s) Fuck this.

Wbooooo boy the end of the new Promised Neverland chapter.

I feel like this last month has been leading up to a huge bait and switch with some terrible twist, so it being so genuine is honestly shocking. LOTTA QUESTIONS, THOUGH.

He is alive in the source material, but the movie sequel being anime original indicates they prolly won't keep that in the anime.

Danganronpa 3 beated. All of it. Would have prefered if only the DR2 survivors came back, not everyone. People die when they are killed after all.

Honestly there ere moments that were pretty hype and fun. But overall the story is dumb. Despair is lame. DR2 made it seem like they were actually charmed by Junko and they admired her so much and went crazy wanting to do things to her. Like they looked up to Junko's looks, skills, ideals, etc. And that won them over. But no, video brainwashing is not interesting.

Future I think was more interesting, but the reveals and payoff were not good. I liked the scenario, but no satisfying villain or motivations are the real problem.
.

On to V3

Yeah there's a reason I don't like considering Despair Side Canon, because it ruins a huge part of DR2's reveals to me. The stuff here is even contradictory to a lot of it. Definitely feels like Kodaka just kind of dumped it out while doing V3

My boy Juzo killed it though.

But yeah get on that V3 traiiiiiiiiiiin.

I did like the trio of Munakata, Yukizome and Sakakura. Their arc was solid. Izayoi was cool, but wasted on two low tier waifus.

Finished up what Netflix has up of Baki. This show is super hype man.

I am a little disappointed with Dorian. Felt like his entire fight with Doppo was super one sided. Especially after they hyped Dorian up as some kind of Kung Fu Master. It was just a stomp in Doppo's favor. Compared to Spec fighting Hanayama, they both were pulling their weight. The fight could have gone to either of them the way it kept going back and forth, it was incredible. Then Mr. Dorian's fight kind of sucked, especially when Dorian fighting Kato was so cool, but then he can't seem to do shit to Doppo. Well, until he breaks out of the hospital and blows his face up, but that's long after the fight.

Also, Oliver is hype, and I can't wait for Netflix to put up more.

Doppo

One of those things where context may have mattered. Dorian losing that fight was never in question having read the first manga. Kind of glad I hadn't at the time.

And since Crunchy got this special, maybe it actually won't be a Netflix thing!

they have no incentive to animate anything because anime is usually the place to advertise your IP to sell other merchandise that actually make money and they're doing just fine without anime

I had assumed Doppo was gonna win the fight, but, I was just hoping for a closer contest. Feels like Dorian didn't even do anything to him.

Rascal + Bunny Girl beated. Pretty good show! It's interesting comparing this to Monogatari. It feels heavily inspired by that, with both the relationships and the arc formats and the style etc. But it's pretty different too. On the one hand, it doesn't have the style and dialogue flair that Monogatari does. It feels more like a typical series that's imitating certain aspects. But it still does all that quite well? It doesn't come close to the high points that, say, Bakemonogatari does, but it feels more consistent, and more sincere in a way. I was pretty impressed, and definitely want to see more.

Sakuta was a great protagonist. Worked well within the series, and had good development through. Mai's quite good as the love interest, and probably the best female character in the show, but she suffers somewhat more from the Monogatari comparison than the rest of the cast does (she's basically a less good Senjougahara. Having much worse voice acting holds her back). The relationship between her and Sakuta is quite nice, though it feels like it's progressing slower than it should be. Kunimi and his girlfriend are great as minor characters. Rio is mostly awesome as the friend character, with a fairly interesting arc (though the body stuff and the pictures felt like an irrelevant interlude that vanished quickly and had no impact, and probably shouldn't have existed). Kaede's ultra moe, and gets some good development. Tomoe can make Sakuta do fun stuff, but she's not interesting in her own right. Nodoka's arc was all good, though that was partly because it was so Mai-focused. Overall, I'd say the cast is generally less interesting and more shallow than the Monogatari people, but the straightforwardness is entertaining in its own way.

Arc-wise, I think I'd say Kaede > Mai > Nodoka > Rio > Tomoe? All of them are pretty close other than Tomoe's though. I do wish that Kaede's had been longer - I saw some people complaining about the fast pacing, but I think it works very well for the most part. Kaede's feels like we could have used more scenes with Kaede at the end though. Great stuff in general. Looking forward to the movie.

Fall anime ranks:

1. Bunny Girl
2. Uzamaid
3. Bloom into You
4. Gridman
5. Vampire Next Door
6. Skullfaced Bookseller Honda
7. Zombieland Saga

Currently watching Goblin Slayer, and gonna check out Irozuku after that, along with Girl in the Twilight. Any other Fall shows worth watching?
