  • Some great, fluid art with the curtains this chapter. I get the feeling that half of the point of this series is just to justify more glamor shots of Momose.

  • I think it's pretty clear that Leon killed the monster instead of his dad. However, you could still rationalize it that Leon is partly to blame for running away and then acting as a distraction for his father during the fight.

  • I have been on the road a lot this past week, but I was able to check out a new series that I enjoyed a lot:

    Yeah...it is a super long title, but I have been having a good time. It's a reincarnation story where the mage of the heroes' party is killed as they defeat the demon king. He is then reincarnated as a princess several generations later in the kingdom that the hero built after the fall of the demon king. Unfortunately it is comically misogynistic, so step 1 of this princess is to get so super strong so that she can remake the kingdom that her hero would have wanted. One of the things I have liked about this series is how much the misogyny of this world is actually imposed on women by other women (just like real life!). Sure, there is the typical douchey prince character, but it is mostly the other noble ladies that are judging the MC and spreading rumors/gossip as well as her mother that is constantly trying to keep her from becoming a fighter. This makes it stand in contrast to a story like Sexiled: My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out, So I Teamed Up with a Mythical Sorceress! where the FMC is basically always cheered on by the women around her and held up as a symbol of liberation.

  • Anime General Discussion Thread, Favorite Fall Season OP/ED Edition [2025, Week 45]

    Jump

  • I don't really have many shows I am watching this season, so basically my whole list is from shows I am not watching. Overall, nothing really jumped out at me as the OP/ED of the season, but there were still some fun ones mixed in:

    Shows that I will watch eventually...

    • One Punch Man Season 3 OP - Get No Satisfied! by BABYMETAL and JAM Project - I'll watch this season at some point (my wife wants to watch it together). Despite the overall negative views of the season I have seen elsewhere, I do like the OP.

    Shows I am not watching

    • Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle OP - Liar by Kucci - Some really pretty animation is the real standout while the music does enough to keep up with the visuals on display. For whatever reason this show took its animation super seriously as the ED is gorgeous as well.
    • Ninja Vs. Gokudo OP - Sweet Disaster by MIYAVI - This one was a lot of fun. I have no idea if the show lives up to the OP, but it looks just the right amount of absurd.
    • Ranma 1/2 OP - Wo Ai Ni by Suiyoubi no Campanella - Really enjoyed this OP. Lots of energy.
    • My Friend's Little Sister Has It In for Me! OP - Uza Kawaikute Nani ga Warui! by Karubi Akami - This is so full of memes and references that it was a lot of fun to watch. Also, the song is super hyper to go along with it.
    • Solo Camping for Two OP2 - Futari de Iyou ka by HOKUTO - This song is one of those vibes that can't help but make you feel a little bit better.

    Honorable Mentions

    • Best use of Barrier-grid Animation - Ao no Orchestra Season 2 ED - Ao no Mahou by ChoQMay - Really neat animation effects through the use of one of the oldest forms of animation there was.
    • Least Appealing Food - Style of Hiroshi Nohara's Lunch OP - Gohan Tabe yo by Mega Shinnosuke - The CG in this OP did not really make this food look good. They would have been better served with just the live-action footage of food they used in the ED.
    • Most Appealing Food - Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider ED - One More Time by Ryoji Tokito and TeddyLoid - This takoyaki looks delicious. And you know that it is putting in the work to be the best takoyaki it can be. I would totally start an evil organization with the goal of defeating it so that I can eat it. I really liked the OP as well.
    • I can't believe it's not Disney! - May I Ask for One Final Thing ED - Inferior by Shiyui - This ED is just packed full of Disney costumes from beginning to end. It's a good song too!
    • She's Back! - This Monster Wants to Eat Me ED2 - Taiyou, Natte Age Yokka? ♡ by Miko Yashiro - This one is sung by one of my favorite seiyuu, Fairouz Ai, and is even partly illustrated by her! She is just recently back after a bit of a hiatus due to her health, so I am just happy she is back.

  • I get the feeling that dealing with Benihana must be like having a pet cat. Sure, she breaks things sometimes and makes your life harder, but gosh darn if she isn't cute while doing so.

  • [Chapter] IseGure: After Constantly Being Used as a Foil for OP Isekai Protagonists, the Elite Knight has Finally Had It - chapter 20 [Final]

  • Great ending. This story accomplished everything it needed to and wrapped up nicely. Really happy that they decided to end things rather than drag it out.

  • [Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 6 discussion

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think that's the thing that kills me about this pivot to a romance story. The romantic chemistry just isn't there. The Towa/Akira relationship was by far the most compelling romantic plot they have had so far, everything else just isn't satisfying and it just makes you want to push Akira to find Towa faster. You know...instead of getting sidetracked constantly.

  • [Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 6 discussion

    Jump

  • It truly would be an apocalypse if the whole world became Alabama...

  • [Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 6 discussion

    Jump

  • This show is becoming more and more of a romance series first, anything else second. I think the main issue is that the leads just don't have great romance chemistry. Akira is constantly telling them and everybody else that will listen that he doesn't want to be in a romantic relationship with them. Meanwhile, Yugure basically just ignores him while demanding they get married...but then gets super shy if anything actually happens with Akira. Then Amoru acts like and is treated like a child that is a younger sister of Akira.

    Like...what kind of romance are they even trying to build between these characters? Episode 0 had a much more compelling romance narrative than anything they have put together since. At this point, my expectations for this show have basically evaporated into nothing. It has basically become a better animated version of My Wife Has No Emotion in a different setting.
