S1 is the weakest of the bunch imo. I had the same thoughts initially. Then season 2 started and it just became infinitely better for me.
Also, now that I watched AoT, Kaiju No. 8 feels like a dumbed-down knock-off.
Yeah, it absolutely is.
Why is the name ‘Mihari’ translated as ‘Gard’?
From the anime I’m watching, the only OP and ED that really stand out are the ones from Dandadan. The other ones are fine.
And honestly, that kinda sums up this season in so far in general for me. There are some I’m enjoying a fair amount, but not much that stands out. Even Re:Zero I’m not enjoying as much as I’d have hoped. Maybe I’m in a bit of a slump or I’m watching the wrong things.
I can’t believe there might be more reason to dislike CR.
Are we sure this is not satire?
This doesn’t need to be an anime
Loved this season. After a neat ending with Zoku Owari, and despite a pretty big change in the status quo and setting, it still managed to maintain its vibe and storytelling. I feel like many stories tend to fall off if something similar happened. I guess that’s a plus of actually putting time into your side-characters before finishing the main story.
I was happy to see Shinobu and Araragi back for the final arc though. Though it wasn’t needed, Shinobu’s origins were very cool and fitting. Suicide Master was a great addition too. The detective vibes were nice too
Kagenui coming back this ep and making swift work of Kie was great.
If there’s one thing I didn’t like this season is the lack of those flash cuts, or whatever you call them. They added a lot to the style. Tbf though, they were already reduced quite a bit during Owari and Zoku.
I hope to see more again.
Didn’t expect to see Towa again. Guess this is a vtuber anime now lol
Hm, I don’t think Level 99 Villainess was as bad as this one though.
I love the voice acting performance in this anime, especially Momo’s
Busy time for Subaru. 4 at once, damn
Honjoji giving Ohara a frog-shaped stone was adorable.
Tsutsujimori is great. Hopefully this is the start of a better life for Hiro
but I just seriously wish anime would stop doing this.
Yes. I know this kinda thing wasn’t unusual in medieval times, but man, even if the setting’s similar, you don’t actually have to follow it that strictly. Especially doubling down with the ‘I like em younger’ comment. When he said that I was hoping he saw her actual age somehow, but that doesn’t excuse much even if that’s the case.
from some future plot element
If true, that kinda feels like a hindsight excuse.
(Sorry for the late reaction, I only just watched the first ep)
Visually, this anime is pretty hard to look at. So many stillframes, yet inconsistent and often pretty bad looking too imo. When there is animation, it’s often still quite static. Storywise, the manga does a better job, imo, at executing it.
I think I’ll drop this and just continue the manga.
but I spent most of it trying to remember who everybody was or why I care
Yeah, I was afraid of this happening to me too, so I rewatched season 2 before, which really helped.
So far, I’ve started:
I’ve also caught up with the new Monogatari season. I love it, especially the latest arc.
Also still continuing 2.5D Seduction which is still fun.
I want to watch Magilumiere, but it’s on Prime and I’m not too thrilled about giving Amazon money.
Some shorter anime are fine for some 4-koma adaptations (loved I Can’t Understand What My Husband Is Saying for example), but generally, please no. Especially for story focused anime.
It doesn’t even make much sense either. 24 minutes is already short compared to most beloved shows coming out of Netflix, HBO or Prime.
from the proliferation of magic abilities and from the genocide of immortals
These points make it extra weird. It’s not as if he wasn’t going to do it without those points.
It’s wild to me that this got a 2nd season, but so many good anime don’t
