Mahoutsukai Reimeiki op got that strong 2000s energy, made me kinda nostalgic. Shame the show itself isn't good.

I watched Kaginato because the episodes were short and it's boring as f*ck because I have never played a Key VN. Although I've watched someone play Planetarian once (if you can call it that).

Kaginado is almost entirely reference jokes so yeah I would not bother if you're not reasonably familiar with the 2000s Key games (or anime adaptations). They're including Angel Beats for the new season, which is at least slightly more current.

there's like 10x more griping about someone doing something as wild and crazy as "try a couple episodes of an anime in a popular genre and make a post about the experience" than there are genuine posts about any of the latest isekai animes

Thankfully, the second episode of Skeleton Knight is better than the first, though just about anything would be. This episode is more typical of the series as he helps a kid gather herbs. Don't mind the graphic content warning, it's for blood later in the episode, I think.

For the love of god, skip episode one. Watch episode two instead. It tells you everything you need to know, really, and there's only one bit in episode one that comes back later.

Or you could just not watch dollar store discount Overlord that mainly advertises itself by appealing to the worst kind of anime fan by having all the PVs and ep 1 heavily focus on an attempted rape scene where a girl pisses herself. Which is shown twice.

But maybe that's just me :geno:

Oh hey, looks like Summertime Render is releasing on Disney+.... for japan only.... great. Well I'm sure a fansub will be out soon and not get turbofucked by the Mouse almost immediately.

One less show to watch this season I guess. Sooo glad Disney is extending into this market too!

If it was supposed to be an Overlord clone, I'd agree. However this is supposed to be a more typical (and comedic) story which is why the first episode being such a trash fire is so hugely disappointing.

That's a really weird show to be on Disney+, its not super family friendly. Not that it is ultra-violent or anything though.

Really upset about Disney moving into the anime market in this way. It would be much better if they worldwide released those shows, it's not like they don't have the setup for it.

Hopefully it's a Netflix Jail situation where once it's finished, they get the worldwide release with the multiple dubs and sub translations.

Chapek has been pushing hard for Disney Plus to have more "adult" content since before he was in charge, even as Iger tried to keep the branding strong. Having an "edgier" anime fits with Chapek's goals better.

they have the new black rock shooter too which looks a lot edgier than summertime render. they clearly picked these shows out of hat though yeah

Every time they talk about the Netflix MCU series on D+, they also talk about their new parental controls, so yeah they're gearing up for that stuff.

went to look at the manga and ch1 seems to be exactly the same as what people are complaining about, a couple chapters later you have a dude getting off to stabbing female elf slaves, and a few chapters later you have a fat rich guy raping more elf slaves. there's some normal fantasy monster fight stuff and then they have to save a bunch of pregnant beastwoman slaves, they run across some guys beating a prostitute who stop to talk about raping her etc.

seems like they really like to invoke specific tropes for their villains and people should just steer clear entirely if ep1 turned them off, especially since some of this later stuff is at least as gratuitous as ch1.

A delightful little show, and the only thing seriously competing with it for the season's DIABEETUS award is Anya Forger.

"Ya boy, Kongming!" continues to both confuse and amuse me, and watching all the weebs going gaga for that banger opening means we'll be seeing that dance at every anime con for the next decade.

And on Estab-Life.... PANTIES! Well, the lack thereof. And a little bit of foreshadowing right at the end. Very enjoyable.
