    Isekai Quartet ep 1 Eh, a setting up ep. Amusing, but nothing more. Cinderella Nine ep 1 The character designs here remind me of a slightly more mature-looking High School Fleet. The feel of the show, too. Which is nice because I liked High School Fleet quite a lot. Considering I'm not...

    Infinite Stratos (LN) vol 7 This series is as hilariously terrible in LN form as it was as an anime. I'm honestly not sure why I'm still reading it, but I guess it is enjoyable in some strange way. Also, I think this volume might have been where the anime ended? It's been so long since I watched...

    Back when I watched Symphogear I didn't think anything could top the silliness of the previous seasons. That episode instantly proved me wrong.

    Funimation to simulcast The Helpful Fox Senko-san, Isekai Quartet, Strike Witches 501st and Wise Man's Grandchild

    Glad to see they got licensed. Isekai Quartet and Strike Witches 501st are very likely watches for me, and I'll probably try Senko-san. Wise Man's Grandchild might fill this season's role of crappy LN adaptation that I enjoy more than I probably should :P

    List of Light Novels Released in English

    Oh! I'd completely missed that Strongest Gamer finally got a volume 2 release date. Better get that pre-ordered. More looking forward to Abilities Average though. It rounds out my top 3 favourite LNs, although quality tends to vary a lot volume-to-volume. Hopefully this is a good volume.

    Huh. Well I guess that's fair then. I need to stop running my mouth without actually knowing things :P

    Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ep 1 Well, dam. I like the manga well enough but I wasn't expecting that level of quality from this. Granted, still the first episode and all, but... We Never Learn: BokuBen ep 1 Honestly I'm pretty much watching this for Kirisu-sensei :P I did try Joshi Kausei...

    Winter Anime 2019 - Thoughts/Awards

    I will make a single defence of Mysteria Friends: it did seem to get over the ecchi and actually become halfway wholesome. For like, the last three eps. But yes, it was terrible. I'd also agree with @thedoctor2016 on Run With the Wind - probably my favourite of the season (excluding Date A Live...

    Kakegurui vol 9 This manga doesn't really change volume-to-volume. Good art, intense story, interesting characters. Always a fun read. Bloom Into You vol 6 Well. I can only remark that what's good about this manga (amongst other things) is that it doesn't really draw things out or procrastinate...

    Crunchyroll to simulcast Cinderella Nine, Joshi Kausei, Midnight Occult Civil Servants & More

    That's a fair point. Well, I'll go into it with no expectations anyway. That way I can't be disappointed :P

    Crunchyroll to simulcast Cinderella Nine, Joshi Kausei, Midnight Occult Civil Servants & More

    I've been meaning to check out the Joshi Kausei manga for literally years and never got round to it. Wonder if the anime will reinforce that. checks first episode Oh, it's titled "The High School Girl and Thighs". That's... reassuring. :rolleyes: Going to try Cinderella Nine too just because...

    Funimation to simulcast AFTERLOST, Fairy Gone, Kono Oto Tomare!, Mix and RobiHachi

    Fairy Gone's one of the ones I'm interested in, so good to see it there. Might try AFTERLOST too. For an episode or two.

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Just finished the main story of Fate Extella Link. I'll do the extra battles at some point but for the time being I feel like going back to Dragon Quest 11. I'm in two minds about Link. On the one hand it's made a lot of small mechanical improvements that have made it a better game than the...

    A Certain Magical Index ep 26 Kinda forgot about this when I declared last season over. Sorry Index! Well considering this was a season ender it actually... concluded very little. But I guess that's no surprise as the LN moved onto New Testament. I don't have much to say about this episode in...

    What manga are you reading now?

    Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (LN) vol 1 Ah yes, Jobless Reincarnation: Jobless Reincarnation. The classic. ... Anyway. I kinda get the feeling that this is considered the grandad of the current generation of Isekai LNs? A lot of the tropes are reused ad infinitum in later ones. If not...

    What manga are you reading now?

    Saga of Tanya the Evil (LN) vol 5 This series is always difficult to read because of the long volumes, military jargon and the often multi-layered or unclear meanings of a lot of the text. Particularly the protagonist's internal monologue. Always worth it though, in my opinion, as it's a pretty...

    An Archdemon's Dilemna: How to Love Your Elf Bride (LN) vol 5 JNC isn't listing today's release as the final part, but the afterword's there, right? And it's part 8, right? Eh, whatever. This volume does give a bit of focus on Chastille and Nephteros, which is nice. And Kuroka is a decent...

    Pre-ordered No Game No Life volume 9. Both digitally and physically, because I'm dumb like that. Also bought Wortenia Senki volume 7 (in Japanese).
