I really hope the "Long Story" (The Principal Post) gets adapted during one of the episodes.

The new Kino's Journey had a much better second episode, and was a great reminder Kino's personality. She can be pretty brutal sometimes.

MMO Junkie continues to be pretty adorable, so Ill stick with it for a while.

If you liked episode 2 you should really watch the first series. It was 2 episodes there and they had to cut a ton of good stuff to fit it into 1.

Watched more of Girls Last Tour and Just Because. Both are gorgeous and relaxing shows, but in different ways.

i liked the first ep of kino more because it stood better on its own rather than rushing through re-adapting something that would inevitably be compared unfavorably to the old show just for the sake of future episodes

it wasn't a bad episode but i feel like the actual adaptation side of it lost a lot of impact in rushing through some of the key points of that arc, which i'm not gonna judge because there's a good reason they did it but episode 1 did a much better job pulling me on board for what's coming next

Second episode of Garo was pretty standard Tokusatsu stuff

I had no idea Kino had any recurring characters other than Kino and Hermes, that explains a lot.

I like that Sword's dumb 'thank you for your boobs' thing seems to be an in-joke with women he knows well enough to believe they'll find it funny. Guy's a lot classier and more tactful with unfamiliar women than most anime womanisers.

Given that it was created from a black guy, the Horror design this time around could have looked a little less like a demonic gollywog, but it wasn't a huge deal, just an unfortunate coincidence.

I thought the second ep worked quite well, not having seen the old show

it's fine, the stuff they left out just changes the context around it a lot and i think the original makes for a more interesting complete story

Yeah the original gave it more time to flesh out this country but this one was fine for just another weird place Kino visits imo

Yeah, it's an OVA. Been making the rounds on the torrent sites for a while. It's pretty good! Teko's friends visit and also are literally just Akari and Aika from Aria.
LOL her friends not only have the voice and mannerisms of Aika/Akari, but their SD faces from that show too.

Amanchu is so good.

I always forget just how gorgeous the character art is until I revisit it, too. I'm always a little disappointed when they switch from the gorgeous normal designs to their funny SD faces, lol

Mayoiga stayed funny all the way through but doesn't live up to the fantastic first episode.

Infini-t Force is the only thing I've hit a 3rd episode for so far and I am 100% on board with it.

Im having a hard time liking Land of the Lustrous. The low frame rate cg still really annoys me, but not nearly as much as Phos's wet blanket personality. But the world and its look is still great, and the op is amazing.

At any moment the characters of Land of the Lustrous could shatter into pieces and it's a cool tension.

phos owns and the show would be less enjoyable to watch if they weren't a bit of a dummy

it's a show that's willing enough to dive into how hosed and depressing its setting is that i appreciate the stuff in between having a bit of levity to it
