Never forget that neoliberalism and colonialization are ways to remove animesexuals from power.

I was talking with Chapose last week, I think it would be fun to have a bi-weekly/monthly anime watch thing where we all watch one older series to have something to discuss. I was recommending Welcome to the NHK, but am open to any ideas.

binged all of made in abyss. the manga was fun but had really bad art for the most part. if you can get over the constant fetish inserts it's a really great show

I binged 3 seasons of Overlord instead of studying for my finance exam that starts in a week

Chainsaw Man is probably the only media I’ve gotten excited for in years except for like Dune

I'm rewatching Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo while I eat dinner, it's just as good as I remember.

(darkness best girl btw)

steins;gate

Too slow, stopped around episode 3.

Konosuba

Yeahhh, after repeating the same tired jokes, I quit that too.

So much of anime is pure garbage.

You guys watching season 2 of Made in Abyss? It's a fantastic show, does a great job at being funny and cute while still having all this body horror and psychological trauma. The survival aspect of it is also really cool, a lot of it is devoted to looking for food, water, a place to camp, even a place to take a shit safely. It gets really fricked up like 8 episodes in and just keeps doubling down on it, it's great. Heavily recommend, a solid 8/10 for me at a minimum.

Also, for anyone watching it the watch order is season 1, movie 3, then season 2 which is coming out now. The first two movies are just a recap of season 1 but the third movie is a canon part of the story that's set between the two seasons, it covers everything they get up to in the 5th layer.

My quest to get through Gundam continues.

I finished G Gundam and have concluded it is dope as frick. I mainly stuck around for the over the top silliness, but the generally slow moving plot really popped off and became engaging towards the very end.

I finished Unicorn too but have mixed feelings about it. The production values were solid, and the fight scenes and designs were great. My favorite was the episode where Neo Zeon attacks Earth directly since it reminded me of 8th MS Team. The writing and dialogue throughout the show is pretty rough though. Aside from his obsession with Mineva, Banana-ger can be summed up as a character by that one scene from Kung Pow Enter the Fist. “Killing is bad, and wrong. There should be a stronger word for killing like… badong.” I didn’t get the point of Ensign hitting-the-griddy either. Did everyone just forgive him at the end for all his horrible actions?

Unicorn’s Newtype stuff was trippy af, and I’m not sure how to feel about them overall. I don’t mind the mindscrew stuff since it’s kind of interesting, but it’s annoying when Newtype abilities turn into plot armor as a substitute for actual piloting skill. The fights in 8th MS Team, for example, are much more interesting than the silly Newtype beam spam you see in some series. It’s also hard to take Gundam seriously when they angst poetic about Newtypes being the “future of humanity” since people with psychic powers aren’t real. It doesn’t actually mean anything, unlike stories set around war and politics.

Maybe I need to try a realer real robot series.

I also watched the Narrative and Hathaway movies. I heard people disliked Narrative, but I thought it was a great blend of characterization and action. Meanwhile people liked Hathaway, but I thought it was kind of odd. Maybe it needs the sequels they’re making for the story to really make sense.

Im giving up on Iron Blood Orphans. I tried a few more episodes, but the characters are too annoying.

I’ve also started SEED and Victory. SEED is really good so far. My only complaint is that character faces aren’t drawn well at all. It’s too early for me to have an opinion on Victory. I just want to see what all the fuss is about there.

In other news, I recently learned there was a Zone of Enders anime. I remember liking the games so I should give it a try.

I tried to watch Ya Boy Kongming but I just couldn't do it. I just can't handle anime dialogue anymore.

Hi the anime hole could die for all i care but I was checking the new queue https://rdrama.net/?sort=new&t=day&ccmode=false and this gif is on the first page and the chicks are dancing in time to a song my coworker here at "work" has on his speakers right now:

I started steins;gate it's pretty solid

Am I the only one who was bored to tears by steins;gate? The entire thing was talking about cool time travel stuff and them not doing any cool time travel stuff. I stopped watching after they turned a femboy into a OG foid by making it's mum eat veggies in the past

I've nothing to add, so I'll wifu post

Entry 1: I think they're talking about Dragon

Entry 2: Not a lot happened but I like the character bonding, the marriage proposal was cute

Entry 3: Wow, another glass cannon got busted, who saw that coming?

Watching Demon Slayer, just a warning to anyone who didn't watch it, you gotta get THROUGH the crybaby

ATTENTION EVERYONE: In just two days a new Honzuki volume will be released!

Finished the rest of the release Tensei Slime LN's. It's good but suffers a bit from power creep, and god darn they must have spent an entire volume total on building that fricking labyrinth dungeon jfc, it's no wonder they are releasing a spin off movie before continuing the anime.

Then I read the first volume of Realist Hero rebuilding a kingdom, but not really feeling it, it's more about policy than technology and the translation is kind of rough. So I started Honzuki vol 1 that I skipped earlier this summer, and the prose(?) flows so much better than Realist Hero it's not even close. Then I got distracted and read the manga for part 2 and it was pretty good too.

As for anime:

I started Harem Labyrinth, even had to agree to a mature content warning even tho it's fully censored. Also the MC is a psychopath.

Then I watched Black summoner, first 15 minutes I thought, "hey this might actually be pretty good " but then he buys a slave lol.

And finally today I started Pharmacy Isekai or whatever it's called. Three eps in and it's alright, it's just yet another unlimited mana Isekai after all.
