now i am thinking about mineralogy again

there better be some Albite twins in this show
they have Bort (who they really could have called Carbonado which is a much better name) which is already a kind of obscure thing

Is Ancient Magus' Bride good?

The premise of some horse skull demon buying a young kid to be his child bride does not seem like a good show to jump on but it seems to be rated pretty highly.

The important thing to emphasise here is 'horse skull demon'. Elias is really, really not human, and wouldn't even consider the predatory interpretation you're thinking of because he has virtually zero idea what marriage happens to be (or, for that matter, that human beings aren't supposed to be purchasable goods). It's basically a sweet little comedy of errors of Cthulhu and a suicidal teenager teaching each other to be more human than the kind of awful human subculture they live and work with.

Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous)
Orange | Kyogoku, Takahiko | Oono, Toshiya | Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Seinen | Manga | October 7, 2017
In the distant future, a new life form called Houseki (gems) are born. The 28 Houseki must fight against the moon dwellers who want to attack them and turn them into decorations, thus each gem is assigned a role such as a fighter or a medic. Though he hopes to fight the moon dwellers, Phos is a gem who is given no assignment until the gems' master Adamantine asks him to edit a natural history magazine.

Also in the second episode, the skull man is instantly called out on his weird bullshit and beaten up for it so its not giving him at all free pass despite him not having any idea how bad buying a teenage bride is

Yeah, it's surprisingly interesting. Like 90% of the time it's characters talking about other recent shows with one letter changed, but there's some kind of plot involving a talking cat slowly building in the other 10%.

I just finished binging Kuromukuro, which turned out to be the AldNoah/Valverave mecha I never knew I wanted, but a whole lot better. A google search on a third season turned up a lot of clickbait and rumours. Has there been any confirmed info about a season 3?

did you ever watch majestic prince? it was from the same season as valvrave and gargantia, both of which had a lot of hype but ended up disappointing. mjp was the low budget dark horse mecha show, but it ended up being much better than the other two.

as for kuromukuro, i don't think a third season was ever planned. the japanese school life was a pretty big part of the premise, plus any third season would have ditched the majority of the cast.

I liked Gargantia. It was a lot more heartfelt than some other mecha shows I've seen in recent years.
Also, holy poo poo I never put 2 & 2 together regarding these recent Code Geass followers. Aldnoah, Valvrave, AND Gargantia all had a white hair from the space power as an adversary, at least initially

Kuromukuro is pretty good as it is. I still find it hilarious that the show is called "Black Corpse", but otherwise yeah, another golden nugget from the Darker than Black, Wolf's Rain and Zvezda Plot.

Wait, how are these related?

Also I ended up deciding to finally finish Iron Blood Orphans, which will hopefully satisfy the mecha space battles that Kuromukuro wont have because it wont exist. Man, they could have done so much with it...

Watched the first ep of King's Game and thought it was kinda neat, but I I'm almost 180 on it after the second episode. Will it get more interesting or is it just a downward spiral of death and depression from here?

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Animegataris gets a special pre-emptive "shows without threads" review for taking itself a little too seriously and relying too heavily on referential humor, so it all feels kinda flat, and gets a drop from me. Also if I wanted to read bickering between anime-only watchers and original media snobs I could just read threads in this subforum :v:

Thanks atleast for this
