Has Not Actually Done Cocaine
Watched the first episode of the new Kitaro series, was pretty good, liked that the Yokai of the episode managed to be scary without having to rack up a large body count, also I can always appreciate Finger Guns being used as an actual attack

The new LoGH looks pretty, but it seems like it's just remaking it? How long is it supposed to be?

Early review: 3D Kanojo appears to be the lesser Galko-chan+romcom show everyone was expecting instead of that Girlfriend is a Gal garbo from last year. But still has the potential to end up middling and mediocre. Props to the show for making the main girl so abrasive it actually got me thinking about unrelated American girls, as if the director took a trip to the South Jersey shore and tried interacting with locals to get ideas for her character.

Er, she wasn't the one being abrasive at all though? pretty sure that's the entire point of the premise

It seems like a neat show though, I was a little worried that it was gunna be 20 minutes of the guy slut-shaming her because of the '3d girls are terrible' thing but he turns around pretty quick. Could be a really sweet romance show, I'm not familiar with the source though

Yeah I'm not really sure what the point of it is. It looks ok but the original looks nicer (hand drawn spaceships always look better than CGI, and the CGI looked pretty cheap) and had better writing. The first episode was already struggling to fit the story in and was basically just exposition over CGI.

Also if you haven't seen the original I imagine it is impossible to follow, so it doesn't even offer a summarised version of the insanely long original. I'll give it the usual 3 episodes but ehhh

edit: I feel like if I was going to do anything with LoGH I'd reboot it by telling a story about the same "period of history" as the original show, but in a more modern historiological style, focusing on social/economic forces rather than "great men". Sort of like how these days WW2 is viewed through a lens of which country could make the most ships and why rather than Nimitz vs Yamamoto or whatever. Considering the huge scale of the setting I think it could be done really well.

She didn’t though. It’s a mistake the main character makes. She asks him if he doesn’t find his bangs gross (I think because they appear to get in his eyes?). He just takes it the wrong way and thinks it’s about him as a person.

Generally If it’s on HIDIVE it won’t show up anywhere else unless the show was big enough to get multiple streaming licenses. HIDIVE is pretty much Sentai Filmworks streaming platform so if Sentai licensed it, it’s only gonna be there.

I broke down and subbed to hidive this season, if you're thinking about it probably ought to go on and do it before they cut off the $4/mo pricing which I think they're going to do in like a week.

The new Ge, Ge, GeGeGe no Ge is super good and I think I set my expectations too low, really colorful, unsettling horror, well directed action and great sound effect work. I like the female lead a bunch and laughed a couple times during it. I especially liked that the whole mess was started by a youtube jerkface and Kitaros dad being amazed by smartphone technology.

Agreed, also something tells me if anyone does an abridged version of this show there will likely be a bunch of either Lorax or Ferngully jokes made regarding the first episode's Yokai

Also it's nice that this franchise is finally getting some western exposure

You should really watch the 2008 series if you haven't already.

i got half way through an episode of tada kun before i had to turn it off. its a shame considering how good monthly girls nozaki kun was (which, while the comic timing was good, was probably largely due to the quality of the manga which is super good) but man that was just tiring and not funny at all

I hope Tada leans into the romance 'cause the characters seem pretty nice for the most part but it wasn't a very funny first episode

Nyanko Big is very cute and grumpy redhead friend seems good too

Tada-kun seems like it will be "oh no we're not dating" while they hang out every day. The premise is really dumb, but anything works for a romcom doesn't it?

Comic Girls is a bit much crying, but I will give any Kirara anime a chance.
