Started reading the Shield Hero manga, and if the anime follows it, then I think we're all in for a treat. Its fantastic.

Magical girl was not at all what I expected. Dat bitch is cray.

Agree on shield hero, he's the main character we deserve.

Watched Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai today, seems possibly interesting. Heavy in WW2 dogfighting. No idea where this is going tho.

Tried out Domestic Girlfriend. It has the possibility of being entertaining.

MC has a crush on his teacher.
MC randomly hook up and has a one night stand with a girl his age.
MC's father remarries and it turns out both girls end up being his stepsisters.

Watched Kemurikusa, interesting first episode. Art style seems very old, almost amateurish, but not horrible. Also watched Boogiepop, and it was good, though the pacing seemed off a bit.

Watched Promised Neverland. I like the premise, but that first episode was stupid, like really bad. Simply no reason for there to be a second episode, unless everyone dies (if everyone does die, then yea, best show of the season).
Not sure what you are smoking, shield hero and neverland are the only things that seem worth watching.

Mother knows someone was at the Gate and saw the "aliens". The Children are food for the aliens. Just kill them all... no reason not too. That is how I saw the first episode. If Emma hadn't left the teddy-bear at the Gate, the episode would have been a lot better.

I'm finally getting a chance to watch some of the newer shows (minus the ones that I know I'll like). Here's my slowly growing list of shows by day.

Sunday:

Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai | Fighter Pilots protecting a blimp that carries goods. It was a surprisingly decent show. CGI graphics. I'll watch the 2nd episode.

Ueno-san wa Bukiyou | 11 minute show. Inventors club. Girl wants guy, but he's too dense to notice. She makes risque creations just to show off. I don't know if I like this, but after only 11 minutes, I'll try the 2nd episode.

Dororo | Same company and animation style as Magelo Boxing. Person has katana hands. Shogun guy donates his son for demons to control the realm, but son survives. Son slowly hunts down the demons to regain the stolen pieces of himself. The show bored me at first. I didn't really watch it, just skipped through. But then I read the description and it made me more interested. I watched it a second time for real, just to see if it's worth it. The background story was shit, but the fighting scenes were good.

I dug today's Slime. It's setting the stage for the next story arc (I guess). Also, the Pegasus mounts were cool. I'm sure Bronies the world over were squealing for joy over them.

The show has evolved from Warcraft 3 into Sim City.

My god I witnessed one the worst cases of gender swapping the main character today. I binge watch first season Kemono Friends and when I went to first episode of the new season they had swapped the human girl character for a male. It reeked of lets go after boy audience cash grab. The show lost it appeal to me it now feels like a digimon clone instead the unique feel it had in its first season.

Japan this change is as bad as female ghost busters was.

I am disappointed in you.

I'm hoping it stays closer to the light novel then the manga but either is good. LN is just a bit darker in some spots.

So you didn't notice all the drama regarding the 2nd season of Kemono Friends? Because everything surrounding it is a grade AAA+ fucking shitshow. No sane studio/director wanted to touch that franchise.

I enjoyed Shield Warrior #2. It wasn't as good as the first, but it's progressing nicely. I've heard rumors that the racoon slave girl will be "best waifu" in no time, so we'll see. She's headed nicely along that path.

I can't wait to see how this show advances. I found the first 11 light novels for free on Nyaa. I'll start reading them if I still like the show when it's over.

It just popped up in the updated window screen on crunchy roll and I had heard some hype about it last year. So I had the choice of watching it or watching Han Solo movie on netflix.

The second season is such a let down from the first. Its sad that they have let the quality of everything slip so much. Its a shame that they let this dispute between owner and animators kill this show.

Here's my next day of anime's.

Monday:

* Saint Seiya – Saintia Shou | Little girls are in a snow white fairy tail with a poisoned apple (it's not poisoned, but a snake is hiding in it). Then they're a little older and one does Karate to become stronger. It's not a good show. It also feels like Sailor Moon.

* Dororo | Same company and animation style as Magelo Boxing. Person has katana hands. Shogun guy donates his son for demons to control the realm, but son survives. Son slowly hunts down the demons to regain the stolen pieces of himself.

* Mob Psycho 100 S2 | It's all about crazy psychics. I'm watching this one.

* Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken | Slime is the best. This is the 2nd half of the first season.

* Pastel Memories | In Akihabara, there's a shop where cute girls dress like maids to sell tea/coffe and anime/manga. But suddenly the world stopped producing anime and manga, so the otaku culture dried up almost over night. Akihabara is now a regular city. This show is to find the long missing issues of an old manga that the maid girls are dressed like. Then in the last 5 minutes, the show changes. It's now a show about fighting a virus found in all of the old anime/manga, and that's what caused producers to stop making them. Or something. So there's time travel and shit. Really wasn't expecting that.




now to start watching the stuff from Tuesday... I'll get done in a few days.
