Re: upcoming anime this year.

"My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer" is actually shaping up to look pretty nice. I'm surprised how good this looks considering the studio isn't known for this level of quality.

I've been reading the manga of this one for years, and it's absolutely excellent. you've got the older father who retired from being an adventurer after losing a leg, and he moves to a rural town where he finds an abandoned baby in the forest, who is the titular S-Ranked Daughter. It's very cute and a great adventure series, and the main casts of characters(the daughter's party, the father's villager and adventurer friends) are all great, and the plot is genuinely interesting.

i guess they aren't using the original art style at all.
I am glad it is getting an anime adaptation, but the vibe to me feels different from the manga(even if the character designs are largely the same), which can go from cutesy to intense at a moment's notice with a switch in shading, it's really effective.




the "silly" styling(like when she's grinding her teeth) they're using for the anime doesn't really fit with how I imagined it would be animated, it's just a teaser but it feels just different enough, it doesn't look bad at all, but it's throwing me off

My wife and I found S1 on netflix waaaay back in like 2014. Whenever poo poo like Otaku Teacher was also on. We both liked it a lot, for the inversion of Ultimate Evil Lord having to work at McD's, Mao being kind of a decent dude, and ok art.

S2 has noticeably worse art, with the charm of the fast food setting being taken out in favor of some odd jobs that give the cast a chance to get to new locales. The main antagonist is nowhere near as fun as the Sentucky manager dude and it seems to set up a pretty common trope where Enta Isla's church sucks, demons arent all evil shits that should be eradicated, and heaven is full of dickweeds.

Maybe the S2 announcement and season pushed a bunch of volumes to be sold.

I mean, I was also down on Rental Girlfriend S2. But that at least kept the good art.

I'm touched, really. And I'm calling the cops.

But I do agree with the others, "Helck Yeah!" just works so well for the coming season.

I'll wait for the summer thread for details, but right now the series I'm crossing fingers to be good is "AI no Idenshi." I enjoyed "Dennou Coil," so maybe this will be another good tech philosophy/mystery from Madhouse.

Is there a reason to expect Helck to be good or does it just have a funny name?

Nah, there was a bunch of fun Action, Suspense, and romance shows. I guess if you don't like any of those genres than sure, but I think you're in the minority in thinking this was a weak season.

It was fine, but really Demon Slayer peaks in its writing in the Entertainment District arc, so everything from here on is just going to be coasting off of ufotable giving the action sequences some nice animation, composition, and choreography.

Agreed, not sure whether it's worth continuing. Maybe I'll just hop back in for the end, there's a few good parts in there with the top demons.

ill continue watching it (next season is last right?) mostly because yeah the animation carries the show. i'm probably not going to watch it weekly though because if next seasons pacing is anything like this seasons its just not worth it. nothing much happens
