Your anime viewing journal

As a general rule I don't sell or trade any anime dvds and blurays I buy-probably still have 96% of all the titles I've purchased over the years.

I need to keep my eye on space requirements, especially for shows which I won't rewatch. Better keeping the space available for those I could rewatch in the future
 
Re:ZERO s2 e2
A new trail to follow.

DECA-DENCE ep 2
A big WUT! in this episode. Thinking back there were a few hints last week.

Gibiate ep 1
This got its wut in early with its weird mash-up of sci-fi themes of alien infections/body horror and time travel!

DECA-DENCE episode 2 Quite the turn of events.

Mr Love: Queen’s Choice episode 1 This looks fairly interesting so far, not sure what to expect.

Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- 2nd Season episode 27 Seeking sanctuary.

From up on Poppy Hill (Film) A very enjoyable and often calm viewing experience that handled its drama pretty well in the second half. I also loved the design of the Latin Quartet and its eclectic layout. 4/5

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Rewatch)

Kaguya-sama: Love is War S2 ep 8-10

I've been consistently impressed with this second season. The jokes are still good, it's still well animated and they've even made a character out of the previously one-note Ishigami.

Brand New Animal ep5

This is the most fun I've had with the show so far, I just wish the writing was on a par with the visuals.

Deca-Dence ep2

Well, that happened. Full marks for originality, but I'm still just not that invested in any of it. Probably wait a couple of weeks and see what other folk's reactions are like.

Lupin III: Part 2 ep3

The Nessie episode is actually more entertaining than I remembered.

Which was why I stopped buying physical sets 2 years ago-no more space to store it.
 
No Guns Life 2nd Season episode 14 A former friend.

The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me? (English Dub) Episode 10

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Climax Episode 2 Decisions and realization.

No Guns Life 2nd Season Episode 14 Something worth protecting.
 
I'd forgotten about them, actually. You're absolutely right; they've got very good story payoffs. Also, Bunji is voiced in Japanese by Fumihiko Tachiki (Gendo in Evangelion), so that's an automatic win for me.


This is maybe a bit of a weird question, but... 😅
Did you ever find it a bit unintentionally kinky that Dr. Tokioka dressed Brandon up as a cowboy when he brought him back to life?

(A quick shout-out as well for there being a character named Bob Poundmax. He sounds like a one-man discount store! 😆)


Do you mind if I ask if you pre-ordered it, dude? I did, but two weeks after I received the dispatch email the actual item hasn't arrived. ☹


If my understanding is correct, the Japanese Blu-ray release of The Dragon Dentist actually includes the complete set of Animator Expo shorts (bar two) as an extra!

I tend to recognise actors who played memorable characters but honestly I never actually realised that was Gendo's VA until you said. Having said that it's been a long time since I watched Eva. Interesting! Thanks for pointing that out.

As for your question....that's pretty funny. :DHonestly I hadn't really considered it before and now that I think about it, it's EXTREMELY weird. That would be like Bob Morton in Robocop dressing Robo up in cosplay before bringing him online. I mean whether Tokioka just really likes cowboy movies and badass outlaw-like heroes and wanted his undead avenger to have that as his aesthetic or he has some dodgy fetish....either way it's pretty odd.

Yeah Bob Poundmax is a great name, nearly mentioned that one too. Either that of a discount store chain mascot or a porn star! 😅Yasuhiro Nightow has a real talent for crazy character names. The names of the Gung Ho guns in Trigun never fail to bring a smile to my face either. Though "Brilliant Dynamites Neon" is probably my favourite name of the series overall.

As for Dragon Dentist I did pre-order yeah, I hope yours has come through since your reply. I didn't realise the animator expo shorts were on the JP release, interesting. Real shame they couldn't have ported the actual Dragon Dentist one at least. I'd pay for a seperate Blu of the Expo shorts (Are you listening Anime Limited?).

Brand New Animal episode 12 - End
Aside from the last episode being a bit too fast it's another fantastic series from Yoh Yoshinari. As with Little Witch Academia he sure knows how to make his series fun while developing an interesting story. Great production as well with episodes 1 and 5 being highlights for big smears and wacky Trigger shenanigans.

I would just love that! Though, I don't know how well other "shorts" releases AL have sold. It seems they haven't sold all too well. Which is a shame, as I love shorts.

As for Dragon Dentist, I must say I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I especially liked the "dreamy" atmosphere of the first episode.
 
That would be like Bob Morton in Robocop dressing Robo up in cosplay before bringing him online.
And now I'm left with the image of Robocop dressed up as Rem. 😅

Yeah Bob Poundmax is a great name, nearly mentioned that one too. Either that of a discount store chain mascot or a porn star! 😅
Oh my god, no! 😆
That's... specialist taste. 😅

The names of the Gung Ho guns in Trigun never fail to bring a smile to my face either. Though "Brilliant Dynamites Neon" is probably my favourite name of the series overall.
The name that always stuck with me was Lagato Bluesummers. Bloody 'ell, eh? 😅
Where does the idea for that and "Millions Knives" come from?

I hope yours has come through since your reply.
It has, thanks, dude, yeah. But only because AL dispatched a replacement for the one that never arrived. Big thanks to them for that. It came only three days after I emailed them.

I'd pay for a seperate Blu of the Expo shorts (Are you listening Anime Limited?).
My god, so would I. I'd pay good money for it too, personally. I remain a big fan of Japan Animator Expo even after the fact.

I would just love that! Though, I don't know how well other "shorts" releases AL have sold. It seems they haven't sold all too well. Which is a shame, as I love shorts.
I know that @anime_andrew is a fan of shorts too; he said as much during some discussion of AL's new Screen Anime venture. That's why I continue to drop hints about Japan Animator Expo here. 😉
 
Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out ep 2
Uzaki is still annoying and very little of it is actually funny. It did have one LOL moment, but was such a smutty gag that it was low hanging fruit in terms of getting a laugh out of me 😏 I'll give 1 more episode.

No Guns Life s2 e2
First contract.

Fire Force s2 e3
The fifth pillar.

Rent-A-Girlfriend ep 2
Awww-kward!!!

SUPER HxEROs ep 3 ("uncensored")
Pantsu!
