drat the 2000 Escaflowne flick is wild.There's a consensus about it being dull, but lol gently caress that someone blows up a horse in this movie w their mind powers. nah bw the constant poo poo just happening and one stupefyingly gorgeous background after the next, I was rarely bored. The Turn A vibes are very strong in all the sunny pastoral scenes of just bumming around in a convoy, Depressed Hitomi is kind of a vibe all her own before going to Gaea and becoming an even flatter character. I respect everyone's new drip. Allen has the Sephiroth look, Folken is just Bowie in Labyrinth, even that mole guy is drippy.

Holy poo poo the mecha animation. The creepy bioorganic touches they did to the Escaflowne(and accompanying sound design) are so sick

I even like the furry ganking folken. gently caress around and find out bitch. Get Johan'd.

Even knowing Dead Mount's premise, that it's well-liked enough as a manga, and has the Narita pedigree it's honestly a big ask to start with ~10 minutes of generic fantasy crap that doesn't even look good.

it felt like i went back in time 2 days and was watching overlord again except they actually put a tiny amount of effort into a fight scene. i can't really hate on it too much if it at least managed to go above the material it was parodying. the squiggly purple static ghosts even looked cool.

All the individual elements are at worst serviceable, but it doesn't come together into anything I care about. Post-reincarnation, it works and they get their hook off by the end, so I assume they just went for a more padded opening for other reasons.

yeah it's not inspiring cinema by any measure, i was just in the right headspace (being forced to watch 50 episodes of overlord) to stomach it

bunch of anime watching today

finished Mashle episode 1. Know nothing about it, but the quality seems good, and the style of humor is fine.
starting Dead Mount Death Play.

then have Skip & Loafer ep2 to watch after

Edit: Skip & Loafer ep2 done.
Was pretty neutral at the first episode, but episode 2 got more interesting with the class dynamics being established.

Alice Gear continues to not have a plot beyond a fifteen-second summary, which honestly raised more questions than it answered. The moment-to-moment comedy is pretty okay, but nothing about any of it stands out, and I'm clearly not the target audience. Also there's a really bad joke with a guy in drag in the second episode, it's a ten-second throwaway scene but it's still a lazy stereotype and hack writing. One less show to keep up with.

I will be watching but not engaging in the bit.

Meanwhile I think with Yamada, Skiploaf, and Bokuyaba already I'll just skip on Insomniacs and read the manga when it's done. It just feels a bit blah even when hitting the bigger moments at night.

From initially thinking that it was going to be a quiet season for me, I've suddenly found myself watching a lot of shows.

- Jigokuraku
- Heavenly Delusion
- Demon Slayer
- Lvl999 Yamada-kun
- Gwitch
- Insomniacs
- Skip and Loafer

Might end up picking up Oshi no Ko as well, and I still need to catch up on Vinland Saga s2. A big jump from only watching Buddy Daddies last season.
