Tearmoon Empire veers into the body horror this week, as Princess Mia's favorite weapon proves ineffective and her hands leave her control and deliver her into the clutches of her greatest enemies. From a certain point of view, anyway.

The show seems adamant to get a whole lot done this season, so it's not taking as much time to linger on the little bits of irony as it might. Taking Anne to school with her is definitely changing Mia's future... albeit by getting her involved with all the resentful outlanders and justice-minded people who sealed her fate in the first place.

I mean part of her character is being a 2000's anime character in enthusiasm and part being POV so they can explain stuff

Also being amazed at how they did things in the past isn't a huge stretch. Given she's only worked with modern tools she probably hasn't seen any of the old ways to do things
My main complaint is these sort of contradict each other. If she's a nerd for old games you'd think she'd know even the basics about how they were made.

Eh I can see it especially since a lot of 90's development is not that well documented and modern tools can do the tricks easier. I can easily see someone just using say photoshop and thinking it was always done that way

Beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure



I don't think anyone in the thread is watching this anymore, but I liked the OP and the art is cute, so I kept watching The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess. So... it came down to the big showdown between Terukomari and Millicent. Can't stand yandere girls who blame their lovely bullying behavior on not being loved enough as a child. So her vicious smackdown was well-earned. Millicent's VA does good "crazy rear end bitch" speech and laugh.

Also, besides Yuri on Ice (with my hero-worship for anything ice-skating, I considered this more of a sports anime), this season is baby's first yaoi with My New Boss is Goofy. Kinda funny that besides this character, who was barely introduced episode 4:



no one is confirmed gay/bi/pan. In fact, the other three either have an ex-wife or ex-girlfriends only. It's really cute and they flirt with each other a lot, unbeknownst to themselves. Quite refreshing.

Did episode 4 of Apothecary Diaries have a different director? It had a lot more attention to movement than the previous 3 episodes. Some rotoscoping too.

Different storyboard and episode direction credits (both by china) than the prior episodes, yeah. The main director storyboarded 1-3 with different episode directors. Haven't gotten around to it yet but the sakugablog article might illuminate a bit despite being written before the episode actually aired.

I'm still watching it. It's doing well enough for me to keep coming back. Same for "I'm In Love With The Villainess," though I had the twist about it spoiled for me so I know what's coming.

Heaven Official's Blessing s02 has markedly higher-quality animation than the first season (which already looked pretty good!) and is great so far, and the new sidekicks are way more fun than s01's sidekicks.

SLF episode 5 was good, now that we are really getting into the characters and it starts building up for more intensity

Also the English dub has been much better than I thought it might be


Fierien has continued to be excellent.

My wife is actually big into the creepy twin anime and the villianious love anime.

I think daigo jumped the shark in episode 4 with daigo dislocating his own shoulder

Daigo ep 5 was pretty funny, Shun was freaking the gently caress out over that and suddenly realises no one else on the team was reacting at all, Daigo must have done it so many times already that no one else is the slightest bit surprised any more, lol. If you really like stories about firefighters it's fine, otherwise the narrator laying on the drama with lines like "These two kids will one day save Japan ...... and THIS was their FIRST STEP towards that!!!" might be a bit overly melodramatic

Ep 6 will apparently go into Daigo's history and explain what drives him, maybe it'll also explain how he realised he could pop out his shoulder on command. Maybe it got all hosed up in a car crash or something?

it works well with the overall narrative of the main character recovering from his previous abusive (work) situation. it sparks cute moments between the bosses reactions to the main characters flinching reflexes and the main character reacting to unexpected kindness.

it’s a “cute guys doing cute things” anime

Overtake is grabbing me more than i expected, moving the focus on the characters instead on simple racing has helped greatly.

Migi and Dali? I am too. The weird body movements, slinky hiding, and the adoptive mother yelling, “poo poo!” slays me. Although it got into weird territory this last episode with one twin falling for the other one, who was dressed secretly like a girl and they mistook her for one. At least the show nipped that in the bud REAL quick.

Don't get what happened here in the esports match in Protocol ep4

Ok, so its a plant the bomb/disarm format.
The main characters team vs. the favorite. First to 7 wins.

Turns out the MC's team kind of sucks defending and loses 5 in a row, at which point, they switch sides.
They end up doing good just rushing and planting and win 5 in a row as well....and they don't switch sides after these 5 games, and they keep staying on the attacking side and win 7 in a row.

What the heck happened?

If you weren't really "online" in the 00s and early 10s you prob wouldn't be familiar though, esp as a westerner but it was a pretty big meme that you'd see parodies of all the time.

I remember Korean online shooters in my youth using a "golden goal" system where the game continued on as is until the required wins amount is reached.
