Watched through Room Camp, the short Yuru Camp/Laid Back Camp sequel. It was real good! It's a series of shorts, but it's basically like one 36 minute OVA episode? It has pretty much all the quality of the original series. Only flaw is that there's not much Rin, but I feel the other characters were better than usual, so that was okay. Best short series I've watched in a while!

I think Yesterday is jumping ahead as front runner for the season. Each episode has been engaging enough that, even with the extra time from bit having an OP, I'm always fairly surprised when it ends.

I still have to start that. Still enjoying Bakarina though--also glad we seem to be moving out of backstory territory next episode. I was also finally able to watch the first episode Kaguya and it was surprisingly good. (No Funi subscription means I'm behind a week)

Managed to finally watch Dreaming Girl. Obviously it was very, very good, though there was a bit of a dissapointment in it not really being a movie, but rather basically 3 episodes stitched together. Hell, there were some times where I think the production value was lower than the show itself.

Tried to give Fire Force a go, as I was in the mood for good animated fight scenes. Sadly, that's about all the show has going for it. I had to call it quits after a baddie's personality did a 180 after a minute of talk and one moderate punch. Imagine if Yugi beat Kaiba in a duel and then Kaiba started acting like Joey and slobbering over Yugi. Even bad fanfiction would pause before stooping so low. That, and while the universe had an interesting premise, I didn't feel like it would remain interesting for the time the series wanted me to invest. If I get in the mood for fire-based action again, I'll just give Promare another watch.

Eh, "baddie" in the same sense of most short time early shounen antagonist that end up joining the team in the first couple episodes.

I'm not gonna actually defend Fire Force's writing though. Just like with Soul Eater, Atsushi Okubo is almost entirely style over substance. Just really comes down to how much you like that style (in my case, a lot).

One Piece anime going on hiatus because of covid

A chance for the manga to get ahead!
I mean the anime just finished wano act 1 and the manga started wano act 4 so they have some space already.

I still will never understand why the anime doesnt do the cover stories as one episode fillers like with Buggys little adventure anymore. Instead we just get a quick shot of the mud guys which would be more confusing then anything to anime only people.

Dorohedoro beated. Pretty disappointing show! Makes me wonder if the manga is better.

I liked the early episodes where things were more mysterious and it was all just fun/ridiculous adventures, but it got a lot more boring when it focused more on the sorcerers and explained more of the world. I think if it'd stayed more episodic and mysterious it could've gotten away with stuff a lot better. Like, at the start of the show, it's fine that sorcerers are just random evil dudes who do evil shit for mysterious reasons, but then later it develops them more and tries to portray them as good people who do evil shit because... the writing needs to have a conflict? I dunno. All the sorcerer characters were pretty boring too, particularly Shin and En. Needed more Caiman and Nikaido adventures. Also would've been nice if the last arc hadn't been about Nikaido being a damsel in distress.

Compounding all this is that the show just... ends without really resolving anything. Should've stuck with the manga.

I can't speak to the show yet, unless they took it out of jail.

The manga is one of those all time masterpiece classics, so I hope I'm personally a bit happier with the show. I did watch episode 1, and I gotta say I thought they did a REASONABLY good job, and it looked decent, but it definitely isn't what Dorohedoro deserved. I also didn't like episode 1 of Beastars, though, so I've been holding out some hope.

Well, it seems like most people actually like the sorcerers, so maybe I'm just missing something. The end point is still lame regardless though.

It's got 6 more OVA's coming shortly so I'm hoping it's a Bakemonogatari situation where they just didn't have enough time to do it in the tv broadcast slots.

As to the sorcerers, I never felt like the show was trying to argue they were good people, but it was trying to give them depth beyond just being evil.

Obviously how much the jokes hit will vary person to person, but the degree to with the visual gag side of things has improved in Kaguya S2 is staggering, and it was already on it's A-game in season 1. That first season must have done tremendously well.

A one season delay that far out isn't surprising, wouldn't be surprising to see even under normal circumstances, honestly.

Only as a mobile game.

Pretty sure Love Live is still bigger as a franchise.

Well, I guess they're adding English voices to that.

how's the general feel towards Netflix Castlevania around here? I binged the first 2 seasons and couldn't get past episode 3 or 4 of season 3 because I had enough of the really bad dialogue and fake European English accents

one thing that really bothered me about the series is the fact that all the voices seem to be recorded separately and delivered without emotion in the first 2 seasons, and Alucard doesn't seem like his usual self from the games not to mention too much profanity and people not talking like they're in the 1400s
