Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
Buddy Daddy ep 2 was much improved from ep 1. I think Miri annoying the two guys adds a lot to the show. The action scenes are still kinda blah though. There's no real sense of threat - I know the heroes are meant to be super assassins, but mostly it just feels like their opponents can't aim for poo poo.

This second half of Danmachi is probably the strongest the show has been. I'm really impressed by how willing the creators are to just gently caress Bell up if they feel the need.

d4dj is kinda a slice of life but this season really assumes you've played the game since it barely introduces the new characters. s1 was a good 'girls starting a club' show though. very funny, some decent music, one of the girls t-poses in the ed.

OniMai is unequivocally excellently animated but is also pretty :yikes: with what it's animating.

On the other hand, Endo and Kobayashi is looking pretty cheaply made from what I can see. I'm really not at all impressed with it.

revenger and buddy daddies were enjoyable enough to keep going another week. watch revenger if you want to see tales of suffering broken people seeking vengeance intercut with dudes flexing so hard their shirt rips off when they draw their bow. watch buddy daddies if you want to see stuff like this:

Buddy Daddies is starting to rival Star Wars on how bad a human being's aim can get. Still a fun show at least.

It's a shame taht Endo & Kobayashi has such a low budget, I really like the manga and was excited for the anime. I'm still gonna watch it, it's just less of a magical romance if everything is animated so stiffly, you know?

I think I like Revenger. It's just a solid, good-looking example of a familiar old genre, and if you want to see quirky assassins delivering justice to various flavours of feudal shitbag with fancy James Bond gadgets, it's got you covered.

The Magical Revolution 2
Well, it seems it goes hard going into yuri (lesbian relationships). Which I don't have an issue with (vs hetero relationships) but I hoped for a more plot driven story about the world and it may be more focused on the main characters romance. This is only speculation, we will see. In fact at least I liked that they don't beat the bush around and they make clear the main character is Lesbian with a capital L, no skirting around with 'maybe she likes girls, maybe she doesn't, maybe they are *very good* friends' that other animes do.

Revenger 2: Even worse than the first episode, it has parts that feel like parody of anime more than anything (like the christian assassins shtick with priests and nuns and saying empty psalms), I also disliked how the main character joins the party in minutes, when it would have been more realistic for him to need more time. And well, zero depth in the revenge story of the week. Dropped.

Buddy Daddies 2: As suspected, this is mere vehicle to cute overload kid. Dropped.

Lieselotte 2: Ehh, I drop it too. It's just too bland in the visuals and in the direction, and I'd need for the story to go to crazy places to be interesting enough.

Ars 2: Very average anime. The action scene could have been better done, the cat girl is annoying as hell, it feels tropey in some moments like with the bad guy.

Nier 2: That was interesting. We follow a anonymous robot for a while, learning that at least some of them are... evolving? and gaining human-like consciousness. Of course this is only tells part of it, the important thing is the execution, and I felt it was done in an interesting way. At the end of the episode, our protagonist find people from the resistance... it seems the leader knows 2B but 2B doesn't? Memory wipe at some point, maybe?

Fire Hunter 1: Finally something good. It's like someone would have traveled 20 years into the past and took an anime from Madhouse of that era. It seems you need an old timer like Mamoru Oshii (script, series composition) to get something interesting in these times. It's another post apoc scifi (funny that this is the case for the three more interesting series of the season) where people burn for just being in presence of flame? Really, the premise of the story seems to be more fantasy than science fiction, but in any case what hold my attention in this episode was the distinctive art and well done atmosphere, lonely and unsettling.

Also to be fair it does kinda seem like Magical Rev. does kinda have the background geopolitics as Important? I imagine we'll see more of it soon as its front and center stage regarding the Prince/Brother; and also more when we see Anis's magitek start to take off more because I refuse to believe that the very shady nobles talking about it in the first episode isn't some kind of foreshadowing about what the stakes are.

Anis entire explanation to her father about how Euphyllia should be her assistant was very much political maneuvering in terms of noble politics. It's very much a key part of the show and not something that has a slight focus
