I ran out of chapters of Grand Blue.
I no longer have a reason to live.
Play Granblue instead

I guess that I should start on this KonoSuba that everyone keeps talking about.
I watched KonoSuba recently and while I liked it, the animation is.. not good
Speaking of which, Kazuma looks exactly like Rance, right? That can't just be me being crazy, he literally looks like him.
u crazy
The Hall of Selected Cruor Praise
Well, it's by DEEN, after all. Even the more expressively animated parts are pretty questionable in other respects.
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
I really liked the animation. It emphasizes flow over anything else, which I think works pretty well for such a silly comedy series. And the explosions were amazing.
Indeed, of the three main girls Megumin is easily the greatest.
How could anyone resist that smile.
Finished Interview with Monster Girls. I thought it was a cute show and I really enjoyed watching it.
Spoiler:
I haven't actually watched all of Demi, but I've seen most of them (out of order) and I'm surprised at the levels of consideration involved
Armed Girls' Machiavelism is really shaping out to be my guilty pleasure for this season.
It should by all rights be ludicrously objectionable from a feminist stand-point, from the depiction of make-up as inherently "emasculating" to the matriarchy of warrior-like girls that seem to take sadistic pleasure out of dominating hapless men, but the show somehow manages (at least, in my uneducated opinion) to be far less offensive then its premise would suggest.
There's no trace of puerile revenge fantasy here, and the MC never expresses any desire to humiliate or get back at the female characters for their treatment of him. He's just a genuinely nice, friendly, laid-back guy who finds himself in crazy situations, and his likeability goes a long way to soften the show's admittedly skeevy premise. (And I have no issue with people abstaining from this one on premise alone; objectively it is hella' problematic)
The characters also aren't as much one-note archetypes as their initial appearances would suggest. Choko's obsession for all things Italian for instance, or how Rin seems to be a bit more self-aware of her feelings then most bargain-bin tsunderes of her type. Of course most interesting is the mysterious "Empress" character with ties to Nomura's own delinquent past, who indisputably steals the stage in any scene she shows up in.
Of course, "she" is in quotation marks since "she" was taken as a boy when Nomura first encountered her, but since "she" never explicitly called herself one and still looked pretty damn feminine even in flashback, I think it's fair to assume she's a girl who disguised herself as a male gang leader rather then the other way around.Plus, no guy can look that good in skintight stockings.
The characters and their interactions are entertaining enough, and the mystery surrounding Nomura's past adds an element of intrigue that makes me curious as to what will come next.
Watching KonoSuba reminded me that my ideal in any RPG is the following: To be decked out in demonic artifacts as a statement of fashion and otherwise (naturally earned by doing favors to one or more demons or evil gods), to train in... less than scrupulous classes, such as assassin, necromancer, death knight, etc. and to prefer to take quests to kill humans (naturally, I mean bandit leaders, of course... I mean, what else could I possibly mean? hahaha).
