A slow start.
I’m not sold on either the OP or ED songs.
The OP is wonderfully animated.
I have faith that things will get moving though.

I’d imagine that the television tax that the BBC is traditionally funded by has been on the decline for the last decade…

The rules for the game aren’t confusing, but the goals of the larger plot are quite confusing…
It would seem quite easy for just about any sorcerer to kill 100 civilians to get 100 points.
Sorcerers themselves are a lot harder to kill, and therefore should be worth a lot more points.
Anyway, more fighting is promised.

That was 1 whole episode of movie quality sakuga…
It’s been a while, so I’ve been looking up the character names mentioned…

This is really good!
The production values are better than expected for a comedy, and I honestly cried at the touching parts.
Prediction: While the Demon Lord’s power and violence won him a kingdom, it’ll be his daughter Doux’s kindness that keeps it together.
- Comment on [Episode] MF GHOST Season 3 • MF Ghost 3rd Season - Episode 2 discussion 1 week ago:
Two things bothered me this episode:
The other drivers are actually better than Kanata, because when he sticks his car’s nose in the tiniest gap around their rear bumper, there’s somehow no terrible accident, and both cars emerge unscathed.
Godly 15 indeed!
And the way Kanata drifts his car around, and comes from far behind to catch up, those tires must also be godly to maintain their grip and not get flat spotted.
- Comment on [Episode] The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer • Goumon Baito-kun no Nichijou - Episode 1 discussion 1 week ago:
I don’t know why I expected this to be anything other than a gag anime, but that’s what this is.
Unfortunately, the jokes, timing, and visual humor didn’t land for me.
The characters didn’t seem that interesting, and just did normal office things with offscreen torture and killing substituted for regular work.
The setting of a world where torture, killing presumably as a resultof torture, etc are legalized weren’t really explored
I don’t think I will be watching the next episode.
- Comment on [Episode] GANGLION - Episode 13 discussion 1 week ago:
Good episode to round out the season!
The show’s paradigm of heroes and combatants as workers from different companies who have to work together is complete.

I just watched the raw for Hokuto no Ken: Kenou-gun Zako-tachi no Banka.
It’s a parody of the exploding minions from Hokuto No Ken, and it could really use some subtitles.
Hopefully some small group like le même can pick it up

Looking at tracker data from this past weekend:
It looks like Kizoku Tensei is getting a lot of interest, even though it looks like standard isekai trash, and reviews are coming back with questionable production values.
Majutsushi Kunon wa Mieteiru is also getting a lot of interest. The main characters, i.e. Kunon and the maid, seem to be enjoyable, according to reviews.
- Comment on [Episode] Sentenced to Be a Hero • Yuusha Kei ni Shosu: Choubatsu Yuusha 9004-tai Keimu Kiroku - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
Maybe the powers the goddesses give out are personalized to the knight ?
She declares herself Goddess of Swords, so if the hero needed magical hats, they would be out of luck…
Re: Captain Xivia. That was kind of confusing to me. And she doesn’t seem incompetent per se. Plus she has main cast vibes.
Unwillingness to retreat is incompetence for a commander. She’s probably one of those better off as a fighter than a commander.
But it did sound like Xenias(?) at the Hero Command camp had different orders from whomever Xivia was taking orders from, so command confusion on the same side is entirely possible, especially with everyone except the heroes on medieval tech.
- Comment on [Episode] Sentenced to Be a Hero • Yuusha Kei ni Shosu: Choubatsu Yuusha 9004-tai Keimu Kiroku - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
Lavishly drawn and animated, as others have said.
The computer animated knights and critters looked really good, and not too computer graphics-like.
The attempt to turn the “goddess blesses hero to victory” trope on its head is interesting, but feels a bit… labored?
I did love the corrupted enemies. They were cool and creepy looking.
Who knew there were so many frogs in a forest?
I could do with less angst from the protagonist though. I didn’t see any point to him waiting to charge in at the last minute instead of taking some proactive measures to fulfill his mission of preserving the human forces.
Good thing the goddess’ abilities matched well with his own. Imagine things wouldn’t have worked out so well if she was the goddess of magical hats or something.
The goddess’ attitude was well done, and I found myself liking her, despite telling myself that she’s probably programmed to be like this.
Captain Xivia probably killed as many of her own men than the enemy through her awful sense of command.
Overall I’d say the episode worked.
- Comment on [Episode] Fate/strange Fake - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
Not being familiar with this universe setting, it could be good but it feels pretentious.
There’s a lot of assumed knowledge about how the magic system works.

Helping people not be corporate wage slaves would be socialism.

Or Mexico, or China, for supplying drug precursor chemicals.
Nope, it’s desperation by Trump to distract from his low popularity polling, by using the “Wag The Dog” “wartime president” strategy.
That, combined with his Republican American corporate backers taking over Venezuelan oil to boost their declining profits.

The new OP, Timeless Power by Yu Serizawa feat Motsu isn’t as much of a banger as last season 2’s Rock Me Kiss Me Baby

I was actually looking at that for inclusion on my list, but not being familiar with the source material, nor the production studio, I didn’t add it.
I’ll check it out based on your recommendation.

Some decent attempt at sakuga.
Any lack of dramatic tension is in the source material as well.

J.C. Staff is returning from the second season to animate the series.
Although I have absolutely zero hope that the production will improve…

Huh, wow, it totally deserves an S2, but it’s so non-commercially appealing that I wasn’t expecting one.
