I have no clue what's going on with Daemons of the Shadow Realm, but I am all in.

I am a big fan of the apparent genre (spoilered in case you were like me and had no idea what it was about going in) and the execution seems pretty good.

Modern military vs fantasy


Haha yea I was thinking the same thing watching it. I'm sure everything will make more sense after they have a couple more episodes to expand on universe.

First ep. of Slime was alright. Mostly exposition again, but it is the season opener, so I get them needing to set the stage, and they did try to get Rimuru out and talking in varying settings instead of just one (1) room. Opening and closing animations do seem to hint it'll be more action-y than S3 was.

Nakamura-kun was good.

This "season" is like 60 episodes, I think they're trying to progress the story. It also makes me think they plan to animate the whole series.

Also I didn't realize Crunchyroll had gotten so bad, I haven't used it for many years.

The app is awful, but the service is reliable and the price is right. I pay for it, and none of the others specifically to let studios know they need to be consolidating into one place if they want my money.

AI can probably translate and subtitle accurately enough for people to just run raws through them on their own, and the age of the internet is always going to be death to copyrights.

Daemons is going to be someting special...


Ramparts of Ice and new game + both have very good rom com potential.

Ramparts of Ice is from the same author as polar opposites so I expect greatness.

Mistress kanan is my kind of filth.

Angel next door is back

Agents of the four season will make me cry like violet did I'm sure.

Iruma kun is back and I love it.

I'm into so damn many shows in this new season. I go in openly hoping to dislike them, but they catch my interest anyway. I'll have to shave my list down.
