Magical dodgeball.

SAO Alicization: War of Underworld p2 e2
A new plan.
The one-on-one fight was pretty epic, but the change in art style was really noticeable with the chunkier lines almost Drifters/Hellsing like which probably made it look even cooler.
 
Japan Sinks 2020 episodes 7-10 (End)
Despite some strong episodes this series was very uneven. Episode 1 was a really strong debut by Naoya Wada as episode director and sadly not every episode afterwards matched it in direction and production. Some episodes looked uncorrected while others like episodes 6, 8 and 10 looked pretty great. Pacing and writing was also pretty inconsistent with sudden tonal shifts and not enough character development. At least the social commentary was pretty good with its focus on nationalism and race and it had a pretty good ending all things considered. Kensuke Ushio's score is amazing as expected coming from the genius behind Boogiepop and Others, A Silent Voice and Liz and the Blue Bird's soundtracks.

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby [Rewatch] episode 13 (End)
This series really had no right being so good with such a ridiculous premise. Famous racehorses reborn as horse girls that compete in races where the winning horse girl performs an idol concert is a heck of a concept to pull off but Cygames and PA Works nailed it! Reading up on Japanese horse-racing has provided some fun context with a lot of the story being based on actual races and moments like Seiun Sky refusing to get into the gate and Haru Urara's determination despite never winning a race adding great depth to the series. A unique take on sports anime with fun characters and concept that's still great fun on a rewatch.

Lupin III Part 1 - Episodes 10 - 23 [Final]

An absolutely fantastic series, clever and genuinely funny and it looks really nice, but it is different and I can understand why it wasn't popular on it's initial run in 1971-72. You can also see the style and feel of the series change as Miyazaki and Takahata took over from Osumi in the directors chair.

Lupin III Pilot Film

An interesting introduction to an animated Lupin III, artwork is very basic but sets the premise up well.

Cosmic Devil Daikengo - Episodes 12 - 16

No Guns Life - Episode 13

Picks up in a better place that it left off imho, looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
 
Saiyuki Reload
Really fun little show. Was quite nice to watch something again that was almost entirely episodic until the last few episodes.

Revolutionary Girl Utena
Really enjoyed this series. The visual aesthetic of the show is amazing with literal frames on screen and the shaddow pantomime plays really adding a unique feel to the show. Also its blend of serious drama and absurd, Monty Python esque surrealism and comedy is so bizarre but it really worked for me. The weirdness whist being a bit jarring actually got me really engaged in the show.

Revolutionary Girl Utena The Movie
This is so good. Honestly preferred it to the show, which is the first time I've ever preffered the movie version of a show. It's more compact but also happy to be weirder. Also many characters are very different to their series versions which was really interesting to see. Also the movie makes it clear Utena and Anthy are having a love story and is confident in that. Whereas the series sometimes felt like it was sitting in a grey area between platonic and romantic love and not wanting to commit fully. Also the bonus features show the Japanese director went to America to oversee the dubbing which was interesting to see.
