Fall 2026 Anime Thread

Ao Ashi is such a better sports show than Blue Lock. I'm not talking about animation, but the actual substance of the show. I liked today's episode. The show as a whole gives the feel of Haikyuu!, at least in the portrayal. Although, the coach is great. There wasn't really much of a coach in Haikyuu, except the girl with glasses.

The Overgeared anime is doing great. I'm really enjoying watching what I've read a long time ago in book form. I never got into the Overgeared Manga, so this is my first visual reference. I'd love to see what comes in the future. Hopefully it will get WAY more seasons. As far as the web novel itself, it goes all the way to Chapter 2,058. Today's episode took place over chapter's 52 and and 62. So yeah, there's SO MUCH MORE to go. And if you like the show, it's going to get much better. With that math, if they do the entire story, it'll run for about 165ish episodes. Assuming they never have a recap episode. So.... right around 14 seasons, 12-episodes each. Ha, silly numbers.

And...you know...the guy who was the coach. And the teacher. And the older guy who used to be Karasuno's coach. And even goddamn Shiratorizawa's coach and assistant coach.

Ok, your right. My memory isn't the greatest. I also brush over things that have happened. My head is also full of useless information. I couldn't tell you the vast majority of the character's names right now in shows I'm currently watching, even though the episodes are fresh in my mind. It's the same with things I've watched as long ago as this morning. I remember Grid, because I read the full series over the course of years. And I remember Ars, because that's the show I just finished watching about 15-minutes ago (don't ask about any of the other characters in the show. I'll recognize a name, but couldn't remember it by itself). Maybe now I'll remember his name long term, but if I didn't type this, it would already be gone. Yet I remember all kinds of useless bullshit. Need to get down to Lower Guk? I haven't been down there in almost 20-years, but I can still guide you. I used to know the way to the King room, but I didn't go there nearly as much, so it would be fuzzy. Wanna go to Frenzy or the Ghoul Lord? I got you there! Gotta love useless information. Hell, I also remember ALL of Mistmoore. I have no use for any of that, but it's stuck in my head. Lord Doljonijiarnimoriniar, the efreeti lord in Velious? I got you there too. Such a waste.

Additionally, some of the VT names. Kaas Thox Xi Ans Dyek. The blob. I remember it's name because we figured out that it vaguely translates to "Black Blood of the Earth". I'm so glad I remember that. Additionally, why Earth? It was on Luclin, which was the moon of Norath. That has nothing to do with the Earth. And... Warcraft. Why do I care about being max exalted with Hydroxian Waterlords? It doesn't matter, but I remember!

Well fuck me.
