Tfw you totally have an MC-esque design but you don’t even get one line or a character card.
 
Anyway, Azur Lane ep 2. I was wondering if we would actually get a slower ep where the girls got to recharge, but I guess it’s too early for that.
 
I’m not sure what to think about this idea that the Red Axis already have some power that can win them the war immediately. There seems to be the implication that they are being careful with a power they don’t fully understand or can’t fully control, although most of the explicit dialogue seems to say they’re just prolonging the fight. Maybe it’s just hubris, we’ll see what that turns out to be.
 
I like the mechanic of their ships needing to be repaired. I liked Ayanami questioning their supposed duty in life. Again, I can’t really expect them to honestly explore that, but I appreciate that they bring it up. It doesn’t feel cynical, and it feels natural that some of these girls would question that. I liked the ep showing Enterprise being vulnerable, and that her weakness actually came up in a critical moment. I hope she actually learns from this and learns to lean on the others a bit. This does seem like it’s setting up another conflict of philosophies, one that crosses both factions.
 
But most importantly, this ep was mean to my girl San Diego, so this show is the worst, actually.

Hoshiai no Sora ep 1. Excellent start.
 
Absolutely brimming with charming, smartly observed, and expressive character acting. Character traits and drama are conveyed clearly just through the animation. Conversations between groups of characters are never still, creating a particularly convincing depiction of adolescent life. Great dramatic timing as well, it knows just when and for how long to hold a cut to let their emotional impact land. I don’t even mind the romantic coding, Maki and Kanako are cute together.
 
And contrasting the energetic animation and beautiful backgrounds are each protagonist’s unhappy life, and it conveys them with unflinching clarity. And through the full context of Touma and Maki’s lives, this show immediately shows what sports (and games in general) can bring to troubled childhoods.

Blade of the Immortal ep 2. Still not impressed with the choreography, but the atmosphere and drama are good. I like that this structure of fighting a long chain of monsters and murders actually plays into its theme that revenge is a unending chain. I like the show constantly challenging Rin’s resolve. I mean, she’s still a child and she’s devoted herself to this revenge mission, she really doesn’t know what she’s doing. (I do hope this leads to actual development, though.) I like the shows message that our past pain shouldn’t be completely forgotten but channeled into strength. I also wonder if Cannon Busters took inspiration from this, as it handles immortality in a similar way.
 
 
Still behind, but getting there. Looking forward to how horny MHA can make its recap ep.

There’s Kinnikuman, a superhero-wrestling manga that had several anime adaptations (one of which was brought over to the States by 4Kids under the name Ultimate Muscle, and is generally considered one of 4Kids’ better dubbing attempts).

Woohoo! MHA Season 4 is up!  
From what I’m seeing online, it seems the airing of it is delayed in many areas due to a typhoon currently hitting Japan. So I hope everything and everyone turns out ok from that.
 
Another re-cap type episode like in Season 3. A bummer but not unexpected. I liked the reporter’s quirk. And that he didn’t turn out to be a sneaky jerk. But was a cool dude in the end.
 
Oh man. That Ending theme, that got me. Pulled a Deku and was tearing up.

Bookworm ep 2. Oh, it’s “Main” now?
 
Anyway, this ep appropriately picks up the energy. Occasionally switching to the chibi style to mix things up is working, as well as the slice-of-life aspects. The main quest about books hasn’t actually been that compelling, but it’s nice that Main has a goal.
 
The show handles the meta aspects better than Average Isekai does, Main is pretty believable as an adult reincarnated as a child. It helps that she’s so damn charming and cute.
 
This is good, actually.

Damnit, I only just now realized that Speedwagon’s hat is based on the old dudes hat in the I Can’t Fight This Feeling music video.
 
Which is a really, really bad music video. Dat 80s 3D animation, looks like babies first blender animation.

Rifle is Beautiful ep 1. The designs are too familiar, honestly.
 
Anyway, decent start for a club anime. Took less than 10 minutes to get the whole club together, which I greatly appreciate. Cast chemistry works well enough. Don’t mind the slice-of-life, but hopefully there will be actual competition as well.
