The live-action film with Mark Dacascos is surprisingly decent if you can find it - it tones down a few things, but it’s pretty faithful to the original story too. Strong recommend for the Golgo 13 movies as well by the way, I think you’d enjoy them.

Delicious in Dungeon ep24 [end] No fancy fight scene to close out the season, but that felt like the perfect place to stop. It’s taken me a long time to get used to the show’s unexpected excursions into body horror, but it’s been a very enjoyable run overall and I’ll miss not having this as a...

Konosuba 3: Dream Warriors ep8 I think this was the best of this run so far - it would hardly change your mind if you don’t already like the series, but it crams in everything that I think is good about it, and it just works. Bubblegum Crisis 2040 ep5-6 There’s some aggressively 1998...

Delicious in Dungeon ep22 Kaiju No.8 ep8 Bubblegum Crisis 2040 ep2-4 After a very flat first couple of episodes, this does feel like it’s staggering into life. One of my main complaints initially was that the show had little sense of its own identity, but the boomers’ transformation upon...

Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night ep1 Didn’t really know what to expect from this - it feels like a more substantial version of K-On. It seems well made, but probably not for me, to be honest. Lupin III : Part 2 ep57-59 Zenigata begging Lupin to help him steal back one of his own family...

It’s been a few years since I last saw it, but based on that first season, I would definitely question how much Bakemonogatari works as satire - frequently when it does things that do feel like they might be a critique of anime tropes, it feels like it gets there by also just doing the thing it...

A new Ghost in the Shell TV series has been announced for 2026, with Science Saru as the lead studio. The exclusive use of art from Shirow‘s original manga suggests it may be intended to be a more faithful adaptation of it, but no other details have yet been forthcoming.

Treat with extreme caution until it’s officially confirmed, but a purported piece of promotional artwork has appeared on Twitter alongside the claim that Mappa intends to produce a remake of Ranma 1/2. The alleged choice of key staff sounds suspicious, but sources close to the studio have...

The Fable ep7 Delicious in Dungeon ep20 Kaiju No. 8 ep6 Konosuba 3 ep6 Not the biggest fan of that arc on the whole, but it was good enough. In this time when such folk are under intense scrutiny though, I think all credit is due to the people working on the translation for Konosuba. The...

Yeah, I’ve had those in my feed as well. Maybe I’m just trying to convince myself, but I think this feels more like a sideways development based on existing technology than any real advancement in what AI claims to do. Much of the ‘movement’ appears to be simple parallax scrolling of elements...

Delicious in Dungeon ep18-19 Konosuba 3: Tokyo Drift ep4-5 Kaiju No.8 ep4-5 I’ve seen a few comments from established fans of the manga expressing dissatisfaction with how the anime looks, but based on the few pages I’ve seen, I actually prefer the anime tbh. Go Go Loser Ranger! ep1-2 Fun...

Would definitely agree that it had a promising start, but I didn’t make it to the end of that one - so much of it seemed to involve the characters sitting in a largely featureless room and expositing at each other. I was genuinely surprised it was the same author as Baccano et al. There’s...

Kono3ba ep2 Enjoyed that a lot more than the previous episode, it feels the group dynamic is back to where I preferred it. Delicious in Dungeon ep15-16 Starting to feel like my thoughts on this are hard to express as anything short of interpretive dance, but in moving the plot forward, 16...

It’s Always Sunny in Konosuba 3 ep1 Hmm. I was a bit apprehensive about the prospect of Konosuba coming back. Season 2 feels like a lifetime ago and I was not that enamoured with the film, so the third round starting by rehashing one of the film‘s more cringeworthy gags didn’t do much to...

They’ve kept me company through many a dull hour at work :)

Shangri-La Frontier ep1-4 If a friend of mine hadn’t talked it up to me, I’d probably never have bothered trying this MMO-themed fantasy adventure, but it seems pretty solid. There isn’t much at stake in the story so far beyond the main character looking for a challenge, but he seems like a...

One of my friends has moved into a new place that looks out over the Clyde in the middle of Glasgow, the view is a bit special.

Someone left the tap on at Loch Lomond.

Delicious in Dungeon ep14 This is starting to feel a lot more plot-driven now in ways that make watching one episode a week unsatisfying, so I think I’ll pause this one for a while and let a few episodes build up before coming back to it. I still don’t know how to feel about them having upped...

Yeah, that’s more or less what I’ve been finding. I got within one stage of completing the story for the previous event, which was a little annoying when I couldn’t get the conclusion, but I got the event character and three of her potential upgrades, so I can’t complain too much.
