Karakuri Circus premiered yesterday on Amazon. It's the latest anime adaption from the mangaka who did Ushio and Tora so it's very similar. Main characters are pretty much Ushio and Tora but it deals with a circus and some crazy assed puppets. Pretty decent and the animation was good as well.

This week's Goblin slayer was much tamer than last week. However, it's laying the plot for future developments.
It looks like he was the angry kid at the start of the episode, and his friend (sister?) was raped and killed. Now he has a goal of ridding the world of Goblins. The niece is a older, hotter version of his kid sister/friend whatever.

After the credits, they introduced a group of people. They are the other people in the opening theme song. The only one they focused on (and who spoke) was an elf girl.

Big Tiddies already lost her family to the goblins. The only reason she survived was because she was out of town when the raid went down. And for whatever reason she sleeps naked. She definitely wants a dose of GSD in her life.

Why would she lust for Goblin Shamans...

She lovingly rested her giant tits on the window sill when talking to her uncle (creepy). It was a nice gesture at least.

This issue of SAO was also slow, but didn't drag nearly as bad as last week. Some important things should happen soon, but they're already changing the story a bit. At least omitting some details that I thought were important. Namely the entire reason this arc is happening. It happened in the first light novel of this arc, so I'm surprised. Maybe they'll talk about it soon. They created a side-story early on to remind the audience about one of the characters, at least.

Also, I could give a little more info about this world and why it confused Kirito if he were in real life, dreaming, or in a game. They explain that pretty well in the book.

Goblin Slayer will definitely trigger fewer snowflakes this episode, but remains good stuff.

Bunny Girl remains the most surprisingly good show for me so far.

SAO was better, but I'm still having a hard time giving much of a shit about it.

Gave Zombie Land Saga a try and was entertained enough to keep watching for now.

Slime is top tier as well.

And I just watched the second episode of Sumo. It's dumb, but I'm enjoying it. It'll probably be the sumo version of Haikyuu. They haven't done any special moves yet, but it may happen.

Seeing Goblin slayer sit and eat soup with his helmet on is way more absurd than reading it in the light novel.

Elf: But Goblin Slayer why do you wear the helmet even when you are eating and when you sleep?
GS: A goblin could attack me and render me unconscious if I were to not wear it.

Can't really argue there!

i can't wait for the first arc, tho re-reading the manga, it seems to diverge a bit in story, manga has better flow.
