Your anime viewing journal

Been a while since I posted here.

Jojos Bizarre Adventure season 1 rewatch
I actually enjoyed Phantom Blood more on this rewatch than the first time! And Battle Tendency is great and ludicrous. I'll start season 2 for the first time soon.

Plastic Memories
Really enjoyed this. The more comedic episodes didnt really work for me with the general melancholy of the rest of the show. But when it went serious it was emotional and an effective study of how our memories are integral to defining us as alive in the collective and as existing as an individual.

Calamity of a Zombie Girl
To the point, gory, slasher flick. Had fun watching it.

My Hero Academia Heros Rising
Watched the English dub in the cinema. Great film, though Funimations assertion you dont need to be caught up on the anime was a lie. The first 30 mins was full of spoilers for stuff I assume is in season 4. Anyway the animation is top notch. The story fun. Though the reset at the end to allow this to be non cannon was pretty lazily done.

Penguin Highway
Amazing film. Anime at its charming blended with weird best. Interesting and varied cast, really weird story and some amazing animation. Also really enjoyed the English dub.

Akira (rewatch as part of the simulwatch)
Classic and awesome.

School Rumble rewatch up to around episode 20 so far.
Love this show and been years since I watched it. It's so funny and has such a ridiculous over the top cast it's so much fun to watch. Just dipping in and out of it at the moment when I want something more light hearted on.

Just a simple word.

Butts, bears and sleeping.

In/Spectzzz... ep 8
Talk about tell don't show. This is the complete opposite of Eizouken which illustrates everything to you as you are being told.

arc could've been done in about four episodes fairly well.

Yes or even 3. Introduce problem, try to solve it and fail, and finally come up with a solution and execute. Beginning middle and end, bosh done. The problem with this arc is that the villain is unkillable by normal means so they have to explain what she is and how they are going to beat her, except they've done that last bit 3 times now already! And just looking at the comments on MAL it might well be worth dropping if you really don't like the way it's going as it sounds like last 4 episodes could be dedicated to the 4 solutions mentioned in this episode, 1 per episode! So no doubt more talking and talking and talking!
I've come this far, so I might as well finish it, but it really hasn't lived up to the first episode which was quite action packed. All the talking in the second and first half of the third episode for that problem should have been a warning, but then again the second half of the third episode which introduced this current arc was also quite action-y.

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (Japanese audio) - Episode 1 (Re-watch)
 
Comic Party Revolution - up to episode 11/13

Markedly different from the first season, feels a lot more like a typical harem anime now. The characters are likeable and its still fun but lost some of its charm.

Mars of Destruction

After years of wondering whether it could really be as bad as everyone says, I finally watched this incomprehensible abomination. It really does deserve a 1/10.

Trying to introduce my step-dad to JJBA. Gotta say the British accents in the dub are much better than Princess Principal because at least it fits how ridiculous the series is.
