Y’all are gonna be so sick of me next week lol
The Luckiest Man in America ✅ 3.5/5 short 1.5hr true story about arguably the greatest finesser in American game show history? I love the color grading and cinematography in this one a lot, but the actual dramatisation of Larson’s story was underwhelming. From what I’ve seen, the actual story was actually better than the film this time around. It did do a good job of showing just how scummy tv execs are though, as if we didn’t already know that lol. Paul Hauser was great. Nice seeing Johnny Knoxville healthy and clean too.
5 fucking years bro y’all don’t know how much this shit mean to me. Great reintroduction to the series, love how they interwove the recap with the set up for the next arc. Operation save Captain Obi underway. I can’t wait to see the climax of the series animated 😩
Ziyoou-vachi and Fire Force just a match made in heaven bro that OP is insane they have NEVER missed once with these. That benimaru Charon fight looks INSANE too.
First few minutes of the episode felt like David Production letting us know they haven’t lost it at all. Sound design, animation, storyboarding all feel like we’re back in summer 2020 and that was just a creative way to recap the story, imagine what the hype shit is gonna look like omg. The time between seasons is kinda fire because it’s been so long since the manga ended I’ve forgot quite a few details so it’ll be a nice mix of new stuff and high expectations for me
Raffles finally going mask off bringing the white clads into the heart of the empire, least surprising twist ever lol, but that pits Burns against the 8th and sets us up for an operation to save Captain Obi. Can’t wait to see it all play out. It’s so good having this cast back! I missed them sm. I fully expect Tamaki think pieces to pop up online soon tho lmao.
ED BANGS too. Best since Veil. omg we’re eating so good man.
Blue haired girl that’s best friends with and so close to the MC everyone assumes they’re dating? welcome back Makeine lol. One of the best premieres so far! I love the girls chemistry with the MC so much already. This has all the makings of one of those classic romcoms that blows up. Great cast, cute style and genuinely pretty funny!
Himari automatically best girl for encouraging Yu to become an entrepreneur and start his accessory business. That’s actually so dope seeing an MC who’s not worried about girls or the standard otaku shit and is just trying to make money and create art for people to enjoy!
She gotta stop deluding herself into thinking they’re just best friends tho, girl you are in LOVE. You talk about another guy in front of all your boyfriends, dump them because they’re “boring” aka not Natsume.. better make a move before another girl comes up.
Speaking of which, looks like we got a love triangle brewing on our hands with Ennochi and Himari! Love their banter, the witty comebacks, Himari being an absolute degen and grabbing boobs lmao. Had fun with this one and I’m excited to see where it goes. Looks like Fridays are gonna be insane this season!
Nice chill episode compared to the tense assassination and Jinmao sexual tension episodes we just had lol. We love a sweet friendship developing episode. Maomao and the girls were so fun to watch today. Shisui and Xiaolan are bundles of joy and really complement Maomao’s more understated personality!
It’s so funny on the day that Fire Force comes back we get a new Ms. Green Apple anime OP, this time for apothecary diaries lol. Visuals are really good, song not quite as good as Lilas Ikuta’s but still very solid and playlist worthy!
Xiaolan trying to find a new job since her contract is ending is so real. Shisui putting she and Maomao onto the massage therapist job ended up being a two birds with one stone situation because we got all the juicy rumors about what’s going on in the rear palace as well as gaining favor with some mid level concubines! Much better than working in the brothel. You need all the allies you can get in that palace.
Definitely leaned into the fan-service today, which Kusuriya is no stranger to, as usual Maomao perving out over Shisui being shockingly busty had me dying. She’s so bi coded lmao. Love how flustered she got when Shisui said the new eunuch couldn’t be as cute as Jinshi. Maomao still thinking of grabbing his “frog”, girl you ain’t fooling no one we know you falling in love 😂
Seki-u and her sisters have some strong ass genes goddamn, I thought they were triplets! Always good to see Maomao make a new friend. That ending tho! Lishu is adorable as always and needs headpats! But no way there’s an actual ghost in her bath, right? I wonder what the explanation will be 🤔
nice set up episode for our next case! I’m having Jinmao withdrawals admittedly
Windbreaker’s back! I love when shows throw us right into the deep end after some time away. That’s what I want out of my seasonal continuations. Great first episode back.
Wasting no time with exposition or build up and opening the season up with the bofurin v KEEL fight is great, Cloverworks haven’t missed a beat with the animation, or OST, everything looks just as good as the first cour.
They went 2/2 on OPs but absolute zero was definitely way better as a song. That was my song of the summer last year. This OP feels way more anime-y but the visuals are gorgeous still.
Looked like Bofurin had bitten off way more than they could chew with KEEL having way more numbers, but Kaiji, Enomoto and Kusumi to the rescue! It’s cool that Kaiji is using this as a teaching opportunity for Sakura as well. He did such a good job last season in the big fight, you could forget he’s just a first year and has a lot to learn.
Suo protecting Nierei is sweet and all, but how did buddy get in a gang if he can’t fight at all lmao
I NEED that KEEL captain to get his ass absolutely wrecked. What a gross POS. Hopefully Kaiji kicks his was into next week! Solid first episode 👌🏾
I’ve seen enough. Anime of the season. Lesbian rock band, great music, beautiful art and amazing CGI? Welcome back girls band cry.
Had high expectations since it was announced and first episode surpassed em. Had shades of GBC, BTR, Kaguya-sama, Tensei Ojisan(Suzunomiya having to pretend to be proper all the time) and Kakegurui with Otoha design and degenerate true personality lol. Combining a ton of shows and characters I like into one series is always a sure fire way to make me like a show, plus a story where music is used on a journey of self discovery and exploration is always good.
Lilisa must have felt like she was a bird in a cage with how stuffy and uptight everyone is towards her because of her family name, even her mom acts like a stiff! Has to feel like hell never being able to be yourself or do the things you want to because of the expectations placed on you. She could not have bumped into Otoha at a better time because it looked like she was about to explode!
Speaking of bumping into each other, I know a lesbian awakening when I see one lmao. That meeting scene was so good. Looking forward to seeing our two leads relationship develop! The music sounds great as well, I love Japanese alt rock, kinda get tricot and MOTFD vibes from a few of the songs we heard, can’t wait to hear more! If the 3DCGI is gonna be that well blended throughout, we are eating very good. The way they visualize Otoha’s overwhelming presence when performing is great too. It’s crazy how far CGI’s come!
Very good first episode, excited for more.
Finally it’s here! Had the first book for years and my homie been tryna get me to read this for ages but I haven’t got to it. Really interesting premiere. I’m such a sucker for stories that explore the relationship between humanity and technology. Crazy that no one licensed this.
Very heavy premiere with a TON of info dumped on us at once, I was a bit confused, but I understood just enough to get me really interested in the story. Classic robot/human murder case with an innocent robot being framed. Heavy shades of Pluto and ID:invaded with this series which makes me very excited. Early contender for best OST of the season as well, that soundtrack is GODLY. Yama cooked on the OP, seiyuus are great, the sci-fi atmosphere.. I’m digging this.
I hope the story gets a little easier to follow along with tho. Feels like they dropped a lot of terms, events and backstory on us in one episode and I really left here knowing is androids aren’t supposed to kill humans and one tried to(classic sci-fi) and the MC can dive into people’s memories ala ID:Invaded. I wonder who it’ll be that’s behind all of this, I love a good conspiracy theory!!
Somehow I didn’t get notified about this dropping a few days ago, but fuck this was one of the best premieres I’ve seen in a long time. I LOVE hour long first episodes that suck you in and leave off on big twists. I was so locked in the whole time, I can’t wait to see Jinya’s story play out this seems very interesting.
Younger demon “sibling” who goes out of control and wants to destroy the world after being manipulated by other demons? Close enough, welcome back Sengoku Youko! Wow this was so fucking good. I kept having this feeling something was going to go wrong and end the idyllic peace that the village had, but I didn’t think it’d be this bad. Shirayuki and Jinta were so damn cute, I wanted nothing more than for them to be happy together but it just seemed like the universe had other plans whether it was Kiyomasa cucking him or the demon plot.. just unfair
But nothing could have prepared me for those last 10 minutes or so holy shit. I had such a bad feeling when the clairvoyant demon was manipulating Suzune and Ueda Reina’s yandere performance was brilliant.. but dawg slicing Shirayuki head off was fucking wild. It’s like Suzune just completely broke mentally when she saw Shirayuki and Kiyomasa. I understand being upset because she basically gave up any chance of being with Jinta, even prevented herself from growing so he wouldn’t be attracted to her, all so he and Shirayuki could be together and then it was basically for nothing.. but like destroying the world over it is an insane crash out 😭
“If you can’t appreciate me then I’m done” like bitch you just killed your brother’s love interest in front of him and desecrated her body of lmaooo. Can’t fucking wait to see what’s going on in present day and what Jinta got up to these last 200 years or so. Feels like a darker, grittier Sengoku youko so I’m excited as hell.
P.S so I’m confused. Obviously the demons are like Kimetsu where they have vampiric tendencies and aversion to light, but was Jinta not born a demon? Like did the one he fought turn him into a demon or how did that work?
It’s been a while since an anime premiere made me this angry. I’m absolutely fuming. Every character in this is a piece of shit and Philia deserves so much better. Sweetest thing ever.
Ishikawa Yui was truly born to play these beautiful, mysterious, damaged and aloof characters. I’m already in love with Philia. She’s such a sweetheart and her not smiling would just make me want to learn more about her rather than selling her off or being cruel to her. My stomach was churning for the entire episode length because how tf you gonna complain about your kid not smiling when you’ve never given her a reason to. Never shown her any love or care other than comparing her to her sister and putting her down.
I’m wondering if the younger sister knows about the abuse tho because she seems like Philia’s biggest stan and I struggle to believe she’d be ok with her family abusing her big sister in her name. It’s one thing for ONE of the parents to be abusive, like I could see the mom being jealous of her daughter but having BOTH parents be evil pieces of shit is crazy. I NEED the prince to die a very brutal death as well, can tell he’s going to be a real piece of work and probably even try to kill the dad. Ugh, this was just a hard to watch first episode. It’s one thing to be nasty, but it seems like everyone just wanted to be cruel for the sake of cruelty to her. Inviting her to the palace just to dump her, bringing both parents.. they wanted to break Philia. Hats off to the actor for eliciting this sort of reaction already.
It looks like the new kingdom is already treating her 100x better than the old one did. I can’t wait to see the start of her new life. Kinda gettting some Hoshinina vibes from this one. I’m looking forward to more!
Ah I’m gonna miss takao so fucking much man I loved this show. Great conclusion to the locked room drowning case! This episode is exactly what made this series so interesting. It never let you get comfortable and whenever you think you have something figured out, it humbles the hell out of you!
I was so ready to type up an essay on how Kuwata Kojiro was a pos willing to set his nephew up to die and plant drugs on his brother to get that chairman position out of jealousy. Turns out, like most things in life it wasn’t that simple. Just because someone’s a drug addict doesn’t mean they want to kill their family or are evil. Kojiro had his issues, but he wasn’t a bad person. Genuinely just panicked when he saw his nephew unconscious. Doesn’t matter how much medical experience you have, we all are human and can make mistakes like that.
Even Takao was stumped after the police ruled him out from being the murderer tho. I didn’t know where this story would go from there, but again it’s Kotori, the unsung hero of this series who comes up with what ended solving the case. Just a passing remark to Takao is all it took to blow the case wide open! They’re the best team. We were all looking in the wrong direction, projecting what we wanted to have happened on this case. There was no murder!
I never heard of SAH or a pulmonary ebema before but man they sound like horrible ways to go out. Daiki may have been a delinquent but he didn’t deserve to die and it’s unfortunate things went that way, but I’m glad they got to the bottom of this case. The Kuwata family should’ve come together sooner, and sadly it’s often tragic incidents like this that bring family back together.
😭the way I was about to have a breakdown if they actually split up Kotori and Takao, cmon now you know we can’t let this duo go. Takao is such a tsun tsun for that recommendation to keep Kotori on lol. Love her. “I’ll continue mentoring you until you become a top notch diagnostician like me” ahhh that’s the closest we’re gonna get to a confession with this girl but I’ll take it lol. I need to read to see where it goes from here. Enjoyed this one a lot!! Great ending.
[review](https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=557240)
7 straight 10/10 Daredevil Born Again episodes. Pure cinema. The MCU needed this BADLY. Wow, what an incredible last 10 mins of this episode.
Highlight for me has to be the Bastion/Muse reveal. That scene is everything great about this show. The tension, stakes, unease and general sense of fear you had for Heather as it became increasingly clear Muse was right in front of her. The casting was perfect for him, the actor really sold how unhinged and genuinely deluded Muse is. Only one way things could ever end for him, but I love how daredevil poetically makes art with Muse’s body during the final fight lol. Given what the director said about Muse being in s2, I wonder if they’ll go the comic route and give him inhuman powers or if it’ll be other people he inspired to follow in his foottsteps.
Shit is really heating up with Kingpin as well. Him taking credit for taking out Muse was predictable, but I didn’t expect his wife to put out a hit on him. Killing your girl’s lover will do that I guess lmao. A civil war between Wilson and Vanessa is exactly what we need.
Feels like something has to give with Matt and Heather too. Surely she’s gonna find out he’s daredevil soon?? Anyway; hype for Frank next week and these last two eps should be amazing
