Binging old stuff in between new releases.

Fantastic show. Celty best girl and it's not even close.

You need to investigate this further, both the show and said lady. You might be in for some ropes and buttstuff.

I think the biggest problem with the seasonal anime hype and discussions is that people forget there are decades worth of classics, many of which shaped whole genres and tropes. Maybe I should look for a list of recommended classics or something.

Gundam Wing
RahXephon
Trigun
Full Metal Alchemist (If you like this series, try Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Roughly the same story with a few plot changes/ending. This one follows the manga better, but it's less interesting than the original.)
Rurouni Kenshin

No Guns Life is spectacular. But I absolutely love crime noire. Even an anime where the English dub is actually superior to the Japanese.

Dat Opening Credit is also badass.

Ascendance of a Bookworm has been a lot of fun. Definitely a stark change of pace from the usual isekai shows.

FGO:Babylonia was a masterclass in animation this week.

Already knew what was going to happen, but damn, it still hit hard.

Super interesting new take on the isekai...

Supposedly, Seiya had already been reincarnated in a new world and was premature in fighting the demon lord. . Seiya before he died, wrote on his palm to always be cautious. Now being reincarnated, he is super cautious.



Super spoilers although I doubt the anime gets this far

So he was isekai'd to another world previously where he was engaged to Risa (the current goddess of his new world) and they lost horrifically to the demon king because they didn't research some pretty obvious stuff. The demon king kills a pregnant Risa and eats the baby right in front of the MC before killing him too. Risa was made in to a goddess as an apology from the goddess of the previous world and the MC has received his cautiousness from those events where he engraved the preparedness skill on to his character sheet or whatever. Obviously Risa and the MC don't remember shit at this point.

And now Book 4 "Voyage" is complete as well. I'm enjoying this series. Lots of things happening. I hope they're able to tie it all together at some point. Otherwise it'll be like Game of Thrones or something.
I also went and re-watched the video that @Malakriss linked early last page. I now recognize everything shown. Good stuff.
Been a few days since I posted in this thread. I've now completed Book 5 "Reunion", Book 6 "Homecoming" & Book 7 "School Entry". I'm still really enjoying this series. The pacing of the books is good, however this latest one seemed to end rather abruptly.

Orsted the Dragon God was really god damn strong. I look forward to seeing a fight or possible friendship with him in the future. I wonder why she asked him to use healing magic? Oh well, I'll find out soon enough.
