That wasn't just the best episode of Tropical-Rouge Precure so far. I think it was one of the best of any anime this year and one of the best in the history of the Precure franchise. It was that good. We got action, we got comedy, we got character development, we got Gridman references...
https://i.imgur.com/R3MsAi4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/srzixPX.jpg @SDBZ ...we got character development, we got sakuga, we got plenty of bloomer shots (the Precure kid-friendly equivalent of panty shots), we got accidental teamkilling, we got hype, we got Cure Papaya literally T-posing to assert Precure's dominance on every other show airing this year... https://i.imgur.com/9BYcZEJ.png ...and we got the most important thing of all: FUN! It was just really, really fun. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's also an Ultraman reference, and it did that rising pose before Gridman lol. So it might be more directly an Ultraman reference. --- Let's go, Mark Sein! PSN ID: RyuseiDateSRX ... Copied to Clipboard!

Following the lead set by Precure earlier today, Fena: Pirate Princess also just had its best and most action-packed episode yet. If the final episode of Magia Record S2 hadn't been delayed and replaced by a recap episode today, this could have been one of the wildest Saturdays of anime that I've ever experienced. But alas, that will have to wait until next week.

It was definitely (unintentionally) the Precure series most relevant to real-life events, considering it was essentially about healers fighting against evil virus monsters and it aired during an actual, real-life global pandemic. It made things awkward, to say the least. https://i.imgur.com/CE0D3XT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dirwlqO.jpg It did have Aoi Yuuki voicing Nodoka though, which was a great performance and led to some creative (but sometimes dark) humor in the community. https://i.imgur.com/Vh8xKpo.png --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ...

All those Daft Punk videos that have the blue aliens with the anime aesthetic... did they make a movie or something? Kinda wanna see that. >_> Yeah, Interstella 555 or something like that. I finally finished a couple of anime I've been watching for a while: Fist of the North Star and Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card. I actually finished FOTNS like three weeks ago, and only the first 109 episode series. Despite having tons of filler and recap episodes, I enjoyed the series quite a bit. The scenes of Ken wrecking people using Hokuto Shinken miraculously never got old or less fun to watch, despite happening multiple times an episode for over 100 episodes. Despite the repetitiveness sometimes, the coolness of the characters and concepts in the series kept it enjoyable throughout with a only few slow stretches. All three Hokuto brothers were really cool but Toki is definitely a standout. Overall I'd have no issues giving the series a solid 7/10. Will watch second series and movies/OVAs sometime later. Clear Card I actually watched the first two episodes like months ago but finally watched the rest over the past three weeks or so. I heard it was pretty boring/uneventful but I found it relatively enjoyable. It was nice to see all the characters interacting again and Akiho was really cute. I actually found that the plot building up in the background was interesting, and I wanted to see what Kaito had planned. This season I'm only watching that 5 Second Battle show but a few in Fall look promising. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I decided to take a bit of a detour in my anime backlog today and watched a quick four episode OVA called Triangle Heart: Sweet Songs Forever. It's an adaptation of an old
https://i.imgur.com/n7LImFe.png https://i.imgur.com/fI7OIrh.png https://i.imgur.com/YxOU1X6.png If the art style looks familiar to anyone and the Takamachi name sounds familiar to anyone, it's because their younger sister and her separate spin-off series made by the same studio went on to become way more famous and successful than this OVA starring the rest of her family... https://i.imgur.com/ZYYIgES.png ...but this isn't about her. The OVA was actually pretty solid in its own right. The story was interesting but obviously underdeveloped due to the short episode count, the action scenes were cool, and the animation was pretty good at least by 2003's standards. I'd give it an 8/10 overall, and it would have been interesting to see what the studio could have done with more episodes to tell Elise and the Takamachi siblings' story... of course, in the alternate universe where that happens, it's very possible that their adorable little sister never gets her spin-off, and that would be just tragic. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ...

Episode 1 of Love Live Superstar, Did not expect to hear fluent chinese from a main character lol. Interesting to see the overtly cute school idol fangirl archetype be the foreign exchange student AND the main friend too. Is there only 5 idols? That's quite a drop from the 9 from the previous units.

The season finale of Magia Record had a dumpster fire release today. Apparently, one Japanese network got a version of the episode with unfinished visuals and a scene where some of the dialogue was extremely distorted to the point where even Japanese speakers couldn't understand it. Meanwhile on our side, Funimation uploaded the version of the episode with the correct visuals/audio, but the lines that were distorted in that unfinished version of the episode had no subtitles in Funimation's release, which makes me think they only had access to that unfinished version while they were making the subtitles.
So now a third of the episode has dialogue but no subtitles for it until Funimation goes back and fixes it, and that means I can't even watch that season finale until it's fixed. How unfortunate. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ... Copied to Clipboard!

Someone posted a complete English subtitle track on /a/, apparently ripped from Bilibili. If you don't feel like waiting for however long it'll take for Funimation to fix the episode and you can find a separate download for the episode itself, this subtitle track should work with it.
https://files.catbox.moe/hlfl4k.srt I always say not to pirate what can be watched legally, but when the legal sources fail to pull through and deliver what they promised, then I say it's fair game. I watched the episode already and thought it was pretty good. 8.5/10 for the season. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ... Copied to Clipboard!

Is Record of Lodoss War worth the time to watch it?They should be somewhat worth the tume. It's a pretty old series that sets up at least a few fantasy standards in Japan's light novel scene, so it'll feel pretty "normal" by today's standards, but they're still well-executed enough to enjoy. As I remember, the OVA series adapts volumes 1 for two-thirds of the episodes, then 3 and 5 for the last third (and it's super rushed, understandably). Volume 2 was skipped entirely and never got adapted, as far as I know. On a side note, only the novel's first volume was ever released in English. The TV series (Chronicles of the Heroic Knight) doesn't look as good as the OVA, but is still fine. It re-adapts volumes 2-3 somewhat more faithfully, and also volume 5 (which goes in a somewhat divisive direction in that The TV series also opens up room for the author's shared-universe works like Legend of Crystania and Rune Soldier, though I haven't tried those yet. ...

I got on Crunchyroll earlier today to watch the new Aquatope On White Sand episode, and I saw that they randomly uploaded a 13th episode of Cinderella Nine out of nowhere. This show ended over two years ago, apparently this was some sort of OVA/special included with the blu-ray release in Japan, and I guess the pandemic must have been part of the reason why it took so long after the series ended to come out.
