Had a trip to America to watch Free Road to the World - This is different from Timeless medley’s retellings of S2 as it skips half of S3 and retells the second arc so I feel it doesn’t replace Dive to the future but complements it and makes a directors cut feel for 9-12. I do think it improves on the rushed feel that it had for me when I watched it simulcast. Bring on FUNis hopeful BD and the 2021 film (and I hope whatever comes next) 9.5/10

The directors cut of Re:Zero-it took me a little while to realize that these 13 episodes were each 2 episodes edited into one. I watched the regular version a few years ago. What always gets me about this series is that Sabaru is basically a human voodoo doll, he's always getting stabbed, sliced, multilated and whatever else the writers want to do to him. The 2nd season really ups the gore factor to 10.

Finished School-Live! And it was an easy 10/10 for me 
Shirobako
It took a while to grow on me, but, in turning the mirror on anime production itself, Shirobako is a quietly ambitious attempt to tell a different kind of story to the type we usually find in anime, backed up with enough charm and real-world relatability to carry it through the odd blip in its characterisation, and otherwise less successful tangents.
While undoubtedly viewing the industry through the most rose-tinted of glasses, I think the show is at its strongest when it’s relating what feel like thinly veiled (and perhaps very sanitised) versions of staffers‘ real life experiences, and I would admit to being quite caught up in the sentiment of it at times, particularly during the unashamedly nostalgic flash back to the previous generation making ‘Andes Chucky’ in the 1970s.
Would definitely be keen to see film now.

Oreimo - S2 never happened.
Dai
Death Scythe
It's one of those shows where the plot isn't particularly sleazy, but the director is. I liked the characters, and as a writer (unpublished, natch) I'm a sucker for stories about writing, but the show's 'camera' does tend to linger on the 12-year-old girl in uncomfortable ways.
Considering that Kirino was 15 and Sagiri was 12, if you plot those points on a graph, we're probably a decade away from that author writing a story about a guy falling in love with the ultrasound scan of his unborn baby sister.
I actually liked the TV episodes of season 2 because Kirino was more tolerable by that point. It's just the OAVs that turn the whole thing into a train wreck. For those who want to salvage something from the carnage, Amazon have the final volume of the correct ending for Oreimo. It's kind of perfunctory, to be honest, only really diverging from canon for an epilogue on the last few pages, but at least he ends up with the right girl.

The Day I Became a God - Thank Christ it was better than Charlotte though for the most of the season I thought it was boring but somehow the last episode made it work for me and made those slow episodes really important. Some of the twists were poor but I approve its final message a lot more than I approve of any charlottes messages (will I ever forgive episode 7 of Charlotte for misunderstanding depression and loss no). 8/10
Luna
Death Scythe
Curios on that one (as one who hasn't expriences something on that level herself), was it so bad and what exactly was so bad? It was overdramatized a deal, that I get, but it seemed a bit less so that say Air seemed to me.

I hate how quick it goes from zero to 100 and back to zero and how the main female character basically watches someone self destruct makes her seems a really horrible person and basically made me hate them both from then on.
Depression is a slow thing it eats at you slowly you don’t go really bad in 5 mins and likewise you don’t recover in 5 mins for me it sent a really bad depiction also in terms of Grief that was all over the place as well as you don’t just go to the self destructive phase for me this was the person who made Clannad ( kind of) realistic and then this was like how do you lose all your subtly. The only explanation I can think is they had to finish the story in 13 eps so couldn’t give the amount of time something as serious as grief and depression deserves especially as they reverse parts of it (that’s whiplash as well) but i can complain about the actual plot another time.

Another year another summary. I ended up watching a fair amount, both from my watchlist and the series’ that aired throughout the year as well.
Looking back, there were a fair amount of rewatches, mainly due to having acquiring titles physically that I had previously watched via streaming (that and I fancied revisiting some favourites). I did also watch a solid amount of new titles, though, and hope to try and keep a balance of new and old in 2021.

Fate Extra Last Encore - Well that’s bad it’s a mess it’s confusing it has flashes of brilliance in the design of some of the floors (obv as it shares the director of Madoka) the main character is easily the worst in all the Fate anime’s then again in FGO the MC of that is boring as sin as well. The first ten eps were weak then the final 2 of the three epilogue were pretty good (Gawain best boy so I’m ready for Camelot now) then the final 50 min eps makes zero sense that epilogue with Rin at the end is ??? Too. I don’t regretting buying the AoA sets to revisit it but I can only see myself watching it like now out of obligation as it’s a Fate anime
FGO 2019 would have to be really bad to be worse then again the last 4 eps of that to my memory made no sense either.

I've watched a couple of Netflix gems recently. I find most of the stuff Netflix make to be pretty mediocre on the whole and usually avoid anything with the 'N' in the corner of the title, but these two struck chords in me,
Dorehedoro 10/10
I really enjoyed this a lot, it has such an imaginative fantasy world that captured me like nothing else in anime has in a while. It's like something that would have come out a couple of decades ago, only in this new style of cel shaded CGI (is that even what it's called?) that seems to have entirely superseded (sadlyseded in my opinion though, because it still makes me sad this is the route things have gone, but hopefully this at least improves working conditions for Japanese animators? Or is that wishful thinking?) the 2D stuff. I thought the way both information about the world and the characters' backstories gets slowly drip fed to us was done wonderfully and made the story richer and more interesting with every ep. I liked all the characters (Nikaido has to be a contender for coolest anime character of all time, surely?) and I like the way that even the bad guy in the anime is often portrayed in a likable light. Great openings and endings. The anime is a little too ultraviolent for my tastes at times despite the tone of the show rarely being very dark, but that's just part of its aesthetic I guess. 10/10 give us more of this Netflix!!
Hi Score Girl season 1 10/10
I haven't actually seen ep 10 yet, but I don't need to to know that this is getting 10/10 from me. This anime is made of fragments of my dreams and daydreams from when I was 13 years old. 90s arcade games and a sweet young love story. It's funny too and often makes me crack up. It has the effect of making me feel wistfully/depressingly both too young and too old though. Too young because I was about 10 years too young to get a chance to experience arcade gaming at its creative and cultural peak in the 90s (and thinking about the health of the arcade industry now really makes me sad), and too old because I missed my chance to experience young love too. Bit weird how Ono never speaks though, but she might really be mute I suppose? Anyway wonderful show 10/10 I'll be getting into season 2 soon!

That's an impressive list, when do you get the time?!!Another year another summary. I ended up watching a fair amount, both from my watchlist and the series’ that aired throughout the year as well.
Looking back, there were a fair amount of rewatches, mainly due to having acquiring titles physically that I had previously watched via streaming (that and I fancied revisiting some favourites). I did also watch a solid amount of new titles, though, and hope to try and keep a balance of new and old in 2021.

FWIW a few Netflix originals I would recommend if you enjoy animation that isn't anime are Spirit Riding Free, Trollhunters (Tales of Arcadia), Hilda, Disenchantment, and The Dragon Prince. I have read the first two volumes of the Dorohedoro manga and the art is phenomenal it looks like something out of Shirow's Appleseed mashed up with other awesomely drawn and detailed 80s Japanese comics art, and it's got over 20 volumes so I just never bothered with the anime because I knew the visuals would be vastly inferior and they'll almost certainly never adapt the whole thing, but I'm glad you enjoyed it
Thankyou for reminding me to check out Hi Score Girl which I've heard wonderful things about
Having read a chunk of the manga as well, I had concerns about how well the art for Dorohedoro would transfer to anime too, but I think they did a pretty good job with it. It would have been great if they could have done the whole thing in traditional 2D animation, but the artwork is so detailed that I imagine they would have needed a much larger budget to do it any kind of justice - I think what we got is as good (and better) than we could possibly have hoped for in the current anime production climate.
I really enjoyed it anyway; I'm torn between that and Eizouken as my favourite anime from 2020.

ok so I've finally managed to finish it. Quite frankly I didn't like it and the lack of any real ending just left me annoyed. Coupled with the fact that the characters were all deeply unlikable (seriously I hated everyone on this show), creepy animation, slooooow pacing and the only remotely cathartic moment being the midpoint just made it all very difficult.
I realise the intent was for it to be an uncomfortable watch but the lack of resolution and the weird story choices in the 2nd half just ruined what couldve been a far more interesting piece.
This is by far the most negative post I've made on this forum and I think I might have got into it more if I'd been watching as part of a simulwatch but here we are.

Oh no, sorry dude! It's always so annoying when you feel the time would have been better spent watching something else. I recall the point of the ending being okay but I guess my expectations had been significantly lowered in the knowledge that a planned second season never happened heh. Characters are definitely unlikeable as intended. That aspect for me was reminiscent of scum's wish in which I found every character quite unlikeable but still couldn't help liking the anime a fair bit. Hey ho, hopefully you'll get a run of some great ones to make up for it!
