Yeah Yurucamp S2 and Non Non Biyori Nonstop are basically can't-fail shows for me, and I'm pretty optimistic about Otherside Picnic too. I'm optimistically curious about Vlad Love, Wonder Egg Priority, and Promised Neverland 2, and there's a handful of other shows I expect to at least be good popcorn fun. Most stacked a season's been for me probably since 2018.

I just wish spider isekai would use the manga's designs, far simpler, cuter, better in every way. Blows my mind that they're still trying with that style. That new trailer certainly looks like a big upgrade but, eh.

SatoshiMiwa posted:Wandering Witch ending on sequel hook that the show can't justify is a fitting end for the most disappointing show of the season I mean it's getting a second season so it makes sense.  Also despite complaints here, Wandering Witch has consistently been one of the top rated shows of the season.

Even the recent Kino's Journey adaptation ends on a "maybe we'll get more episodes!  " epilogue vignette.

I will say it's kind of funny how the anime ends on a story (which I liked in the books) that's pretty much entirely dependent on the viewer having some level of affection for Elaina herself, when I and basically everyone I hang out with would probably say the show's biggest problem is that it makes Elaina much much much harder to like compared to the source material lol.

After a rough start I ended up enjoying both DanMachi S3 and Jujutsu Kaisen. I still need to get fully caught up on Akudama Drive, Sleepy Princess and Talentless Nana though but finding the time to fit in more than 2-3 shows gets harder this time of year with all the extra time I end up putting in at work. What do we have for action, sci-fi and adventure shows next season? It looks like a ton of stuff got bumped to this upcoming one so I want to try and pace myself better if there ends up being a big list of shows to watch again.

Jujutsu Kaisen is legit the most fun I've had watching an anime in 2020 since, like, maybe Eizouken.

it's in Jump SQ with a bunch of other stuff that is on WSJ app and getting physical releases so i'm just baffled why it has been left out so long. not sure when Moriarty the Patriot started making it over, but i know they only just released the first English volume of that around the anime start, so fingers crossed

I’ve been very surprised at the negative reaction Wandering Witch gets from some people because I loved it, and Elaina herself would probably rank up there with one of my favorite characters of the year. She just has such a fun gives-no-fucks attitude. Haven’t read the novels so I can’t say what she’s like there, but they’d have to be amazing to outdo some of the moments from this week’s Into the Elainaverse.

Part of my beef with the show is that it doesn't quite know what to do with Elaina. We know she's motivated to travel because of all the stories in the Niké book she grew up with. And we know that as a prodigy, she had things pretty good and grew up in a kind of bubble. The first episode shows us how she was ostracized, and Fran goes to great lengths to teach her patience and humility to make a point. But Elaina herself doesn't really grow from then on. And it's frustrating to see her rise to righteous fury when someone cuts her hair but just kind of peace out and wander away when a zombified plague-carrier is wandering around outside of a town. If the journey has no discernable impact on the wanderer, what's the point? Bakeneko posted:She just has such a fun gives-no-fucks attitude. Hmm, a butterfly *doot de doot*

I feel they could've done something with her mom's rule of "run if you have to" by having Elaina try to stick around and help the town for a few days just to have to get out and go without looking back once it's obvious things are utterly hosed there.

And we know that as a prodigy, she had things pretty good and grew up in a kind of bubble. I think the point of this kind of show is that, while there is some continuity between episodes/chapters, they’re mostly meant to be taken as independent short stories rather than one continuous narrative. So things like growth for the main character are less important than they would be otherwise; it matters more that they be well-defined from the beginning. And Elaina is well-defined as a character, imo. Even though the finale has a joke about how she seems bland next to her alternate selves who all have obvious quirks. She’s whimsical and curious but she’s also confident and self-assured in a way that’s rare for an anime protagonist. Her motivation is simply to travel around and see as much of the world as possible, and she usually dislikes getting caught up in other people's problems but if someone messes with her first she'll ensure they regret it. It's understandable why people would be disappointed if they don’t like anthologies and went into this expecting something more like a classic Hero’s Journey adventure, but that’s just not what it's going for.

Nate RFB posted:Doesn't really feel that way to me when so many people who were Kino fans are the ones who would up disappointed with Elaina. Love the way she just brushes off Violent Elaina's experiences like they're nothing simply because they didn't happen to her. Real sympathetic protagonist right there. Kino's a great protagonist because everything in her design tells you something about what she's done and seen off-screen as well as on. She has a strict morning routine of practicing with her guns. She cuts her hair short to obfuscate her gender to strangers at a glance. And she has zero hesitation about using her guns when she has to, even if it's someone she was friendly towards mere moments ago. Nothing is said about these details, they just exist and say a lot more about the good times and bad in Kino's journey because of that. Elaina just turns up, smiles blandly and leaves to see what's at the next destination without actually learning anything about the place she visited in the proud tradition of obnoxious tourists everywhere. All she's missing is a camera, frankly.

everyone got infected with the really boring politics-brain between 2003 and now, is mostly why everyone's handwringing about wandering witch. the adaptation seems to make some dumb choices but iunno why people get their dander up about it.
