MAPPA doing an anime about the black samurai Yasuke with character designs by Koike.

I was interested right up to the moment they mentioned it includes giant robots and magic.

How was his story not interesting enough already?

On the other hand, I don't think there's been a good Sengoku-era mecha show yet (unless Kuromukuro counts), and I feel like the armour designs of the era allow for some really cool possibilities. I totally want a Date Masamune Gundam.

Interesting from a narrative perspective is not necessarily the same thing as interesting from a visual storytelling perspective. Plus it's probably easier to depict more typical fantastical high action battles than it is to do a bunch of realistic scenes of infantry clashing, as we've seen from basically every anime with old timey warfare in it.

The actual mecha parts were badly choreographed and barely animated, and gradually faded away into endless philosophibabble. It may have had its merits, but they had extremely little to do with the giant robots.

I like Kuromukoro but that had as much to do with the story being interesting as anything else. It only kinda counts though, since they were using an ancient aliens thing to fit the mecha in.

(I would've enjoyed it more if they excised every second of Love Rival Guy, Whiny Spanish Dude, and Creepy Streamer Guy, though. They're more annoying than the kids in Eureka Seven, and without adding anything redeeming to the plot.)

2. Holy poo poo she does not even blink over murdering the Ice Golem with her frozen pillow. Just walk off, :murder:, drag his corpse in and tell them to build an igloo. She is ABSOLUTELY going wind up the actual Demon King by the end of this show. :stonklol:

Sshhh! Princess Syalis is trying to get a good night's sleep. Some shut-eye. Forty winks. Catch some Z's. Long ago in olden times when people and demons lived together in—well, disharmony, really—a demon king kidnaps a human princess and imprisons her in his castle. Bereft, the princess's subjects beat their chests in anguish...until a hero arises to spearhead Project Rescue Our Princess! While waiting for her knight in shining armor, what's an imprisoned princess to do...? Teddy-bear guards with bat wings are all very well, but her dungeon cell is bo-o-o-ring! So, she decides to wile away the long hours by sleeping. Now if only she could get comfortable...and didn't suffer from insomnia...

Episode 4: Shimamura meets Adachi's mom at the pool, Shimamura + Adachi + Shimamura's two friends go to karaoke, Shimamura gives Adachi headpats on the swing set

Also a weird scene with a sketchy guy perving on little kids at the pool which felt really out of place.

It's weird because it's really nicely produced and still directed and storyboarded well-enough in the moment, but the overall adaptation decisions have been mediocre to bad basically from the beginning IMO.
Wandering Witch is quickly becoming "Careless Traveller, poo poo-rear end places". It's just... mean spirited? It's like a cute-witch version of The Witcher.

I'm half-wondering if we're supposed to start thinking that Elaina and the witches are actually total assholes the way you go "Oh wait, Nazarick and Ains are loving evil"

For those who care, the dub cast for Yashahime got announced a few days back

I guess this means that the old cast won't be returning then, since the dub isn't by Ocean Group

It's entirely possible for them to get them back for their roles, depending on their overall presence. Everyone's recording from home nowadays so location doesn't really super matter much.

I think I'm peacing out on it. Season 2 kinda put a damper on my feelings on it due to how its tone changes, and season 3 looks to be continuing that. Not making a value judgment, just it's going in a direction I just am not into.

Understandable. Honest I didn’t like season 2 much, the animation wasn’t as good and I was kind of creeped out generally. Also the fight scenes weren’t nearly as good as season one’s.

Well, I think I'm gonna give up on Moriarty. Not because of the gravity of the crimes -- that's A-OK -- but because it is just so lazily written. The fact that a noble might come to look upon high society with contempt and betray his family in the name of destroying it should have been an interesting premise, but what makes this particular noble think differently from all the rest? What life experiences shaped him to the point where not only would he reject a society that places him on a pedestal, but he would go as far as murdering his own family to do it? Without even shedding a tear? The anime doesn't even attempt to deliver any answers to these questions. So far, the show just assumes that he has the same perspective as a person raised in a 21st century 'enlightened' world where nobility is seen as a foolish relic of the past, despite him being raised in a setting where it isn't. And every single character's dialogue is so shallow and two-dimension that they may as well be screaming "This is my role in the story! That you are watching! On your computer!" The characters have all the depth and nuance of that "Haha they're poor!" British royalty meme. I might check out the manga because it sounds like the scenes had more weight and that maybe this was just a neutered adaptation. Maybe. When I feel like it.
