Wixoss Diva over. A different show from previous Wixoss shows, leaving all the magic drama behind to be a cute girls do card games with a little idol element in it. No twists or anything. It was fine, and fun but nothing special. I found the cast fun, though. The door is open for some more story and I'd watch it, but I won't miss it if that's all we get

Yeah, Tomozaki turns into such a likable and sympathetic guy. You can jump straight into vol 4, the anime is a very solid replacement for vols 1-3. Super satisfied with this adaption.Originally Posted by Rafflesiac
What a rude villain in Log Horizon, I dig it.
King's Raid over. Solid fantasy show. No twists or anything Just a classic fantasy adventure. I like it. Animation was good, characters were decent. Great show. A hiiden gem IMHO

Nobara Supremacy.
Jujutsu Kaisen Supremacy, can't wait for the second season.

Senku's a really refreshing multifaceted protagonist and Dr. Stone killed it this season. Can't wait for season 3.
Finished watching Jujutsu Kaisen. Damn, that finale was so hype. Nobara got the best crazy facial expressions, legit looked like a bad-guy in some shots. Hope we get a season 2 to see more of these loveable idiots.
Jujutsu S1 over. Cool show with fun fights, interesting characters and a great design and personality for the villains. Powers are cool, too. Can't wait for the prequel movie and the S2 that is obviously coming after the movie

Jujutsu Kaisen had some low points for me but overall I can at least say that unlike the Kimetsu anime (which I also did love, though I don't regard the adaptation with much reverence) I felt a difference in experience from the anime vs the manga. It was a nice experience and I'm looking forward to my adorable Yuta on the big screen.
While I generally assume that anyone who enjoyed the series would watch the movie, I do have to say that the prequel is completely canon to the main series and 100% necessary to clarify event that happen later on.
Also Yuta is cute so watch it
Beastars S2 over. A really good continuation. Some great developments for the cast and in general a really good show. Would watch S3 if they make it

The JJK anime was honestly a superlative adaptation, and in many ways, the manga has felt like a rushed storyboard for the anime. I can't wait for Shibuya to get animated and honestly clarified because shit happened WAY too fast in the manga. Also, I too am looking forward to the Volume 0 movie, and I hope there are some expanded scenes because the actual volume was only 4 chapters and felt a bit too fast. Honestly, Akutami needs to pad out their stuff. I get not wanting the typical dragging shonen battle arc, but this is the opposite extreme.
Dr Ramune over. Not a lot of plot here, just a case of the week scenario. It's interesting how the diseases relate with the patient's lives and how Ramune and Kuro cure them. I like Ramune and Kuro as characters. They're fun to follow. In all, a decent show

Even three months in it still feels weird to me that the thing which bugs me most in Spider Isekai isn't the out of place CG, or the generic isekai hero grinding up a weak skill plot, but the terrible skill readout. The font is blocky as hell, no background on it, and they flash text walls that make bad fictions jealous for only a fraction of a second.

Started Legend of the Galactic Heroes (14/07/23), pray for me.
It's really unfortunate how lazy they are with the skill text, but it's not like there was any actually good way to adapt that. I'd rather they just cut it out entirely and only mentioned relevant ones, leave these awful walls of text to eyecatches or something.
In my case though, since I never care to even try to read these, the abhorrent CG is still the worst part. At least the human side has a very pleasing color design.
Like, seriously, I don't know what is different about them but I love the colors there, they (alongside Y.Aoi) are what keep me coming back each week
I think the CG's fine. The only time it bothered me was the fight vs the monkes. After that, all good. Then again, I fail to see the problems with CG most of the time unless it's something like Ex-Arm or 2010s Berserk

In the original written material for Kumo, there are still huge walls of character stats and skill lists - and, in fact, there's a lot more material explaining how skills work and such. However, the anime decided to skip all the exposition, and instead just flash stuff up - then verbally highlight the things that are actually important right now. So don't worry about it; just make sure you understand which skills 'Kumoko' is speaking about and you'll be good to go.
While in some ways, it's almost fan material for novel readers - seeing the dragon's stat list and knowing how they all worked was a fun easter egg - I think how they've done it is a pretty good job of getting the important information for the moment across without goinging into mind numbing blather.

Kemono Jihen over. Good show. Great characters with good development, cool fights and the show goes to some darker places than expected. Had a great time with it

Watched ep 11 of Sk8 The Infinity. I guess all the ADAM haters were happy this week when he kissed dirt. Even though ADAM won, he literally crawled through mud and had his pride shattered by the notion a mere "nobody" could've pushed him so far. Seeing Reki use his special trait- his knowledge of boards and how to customize them- to get an edge over ADAM despite being wildly outclassed in terms of raw skill was so satisfying.
I have to say however parts of the race really stretched suspension of disbelief even by this series' elastic standards. ADAM looked like he was outright trying to kill Reki half the time, to the point where it seemed less like racing than some kind of Shonen duel on skateboards. I guess that's just how this show rolls though. I didn't expect Tadashi to bow out of the race but with one episode left and the ADAM/Langa Beef clearly built up as the finale I guess this was really the only logical way to wrap things up. Nice to see Tadashi realize he'd become really no different than ADAM/Ainosuke's aunts in forcing his ideal of what was good onto him without regard for his own will.
Looks like next ep will be the ADAM x Langa finale everyone was waiting for. Will ADAM regain his love for skateboarding by dueling Langa, or will he go to jail for badtouching a teenager?
