Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki-kun ep 2
Better than the first episode now Tomozaki-kun is in training to be better at communicating, although he seems to have gone from zero to at least average already as most of the cast of girls open up straight away without questioning why the gloomy weirdo is suddenly talking with them!
I think this show is too similar to Horimya and the side-characters sort of blend together so you're not sure at first which ones are from which show. I've put this on hold for now because I prefer the other one, then I can just watch it at the end of the season when there's not much on for a couple of weeks.
 
Hokuto no Ken - Episodes 47 - 52


More OVAs that I've been meaning to get round to...

My Dear Marie - Episodes 1 - 3 [Final]

This is simple light hearted fun and I enjoyed for purely that and nothing more. I think it would have worked better as an 80 minute film rather than a 3 episode series as having to have a start and ending to each episode breaks up what could've been a really good story flow.

Roots Search

I've had this video file for well over a decade and have not bothered with it due it's terrible reputation, but thought it was about time I finally watched it. It's not a great OVA, very by the numbers (another Alien rip off) and looks crap in places but with the odd half decent action scene and ultimately deserves it's terrible reputation!

I've been curious about that one, as I know one of the Nora OVAs has featured in a few clickbaity 'worst anime ever' type youtube videos, but I'd been saving it for watching with my unsavoury pals when we met up again and... yeah, that might be a while away yet :/

The first OVA is OK and it's the second one that features in those lists, definitely worth saving for a 'bad anime' viewing session and it'll happen again my friend :).

Just finished watching Patlabor: The New Files, marking the end of my time with the Patlabor franchise for now. This was a series that I order from the US on the strength of the Mamoru Oshii movies alone, which I watched at the tail end of 2019 and eventually watched the originall OVA and third movie, along with the TV series over summer. Feeling a little exhausted, even as much as I was enjoying it, I opted to leave the final 16 episode OVA till I felt recharged and wanting more. Now here I am, a little sad it's over.

The main draw for most if they've made it this far in the franchise is probably the Griffon episodes which conclude a storyline that started in the TV series and while it is nice to get a proper conclusion to that, I find them the weakest of the lot. I got a lot more enjoyment out of the more "slice of life" episodes, something that was the absolute strength of the TV series for me. Seeing SV2 go about their day, which doesn't always involve giant mechs duking it out in the street, was endlessly entertaining and the crew would usually find themselves in some ludicrous situations. From the burning of an unhealthy amount of pornography causing ideological splits and a civil war amongst the maintence crew, to a former member and a new member of Unit 2 getting into a drinking match or an Ultraman fever dream parody, these are just the episodes contained within The New Files OVA. It continued the TV series consistent production value so the animation was always enjoyable. My personal favourite episodes were, It's Called Amnesia, where Ota wakes up with amnesia and finds himself on the run from his own unit, and Our Karuizawa, which finds Goto and Shinobu sharing a room at a love hotel due to a storm.

I believe there's a reboot in the works headed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura, director of Patema Inverted, I look forward to seeing what comes of that. Until then.

Target, locked on!

I remember that being announced, but I think it’s been quiet for possibly as much as two years now. It’s a shame, there was a short/pilot film released around the time (I think it might have been part of the Japan Animator Expo?) that looked very promising. It was CGI, but it in a similar vein to Time of Eve, and it seemed to have caught the same tone and feel of the original.

Yeah, after the Japan Animator Expo there was just the announcement that a new project was in the works and it's been mostly silent since then. Hopefully it hasn't been quietly scrapped lol.

An interesting series, although part of the ending felt like they were hoping for another series to get made (With the main baddies carrying with their plot, another part was quite sad With the ghost of one of the main characters saying goodbye.

Cells at Work BLACK ep 3
A hard day's night! I guess we know what sex the body is now!

Redo of Healer ep 2
OK after what I said last week they do show a lot more of what happened to the MC, so much so that the censoring nearly covered the entire screen. Having said that the
revenge rape part was still very uncomfortable even though the actual act itself was off screen. The bit that was possibly even worse was afterwards when he changed her face, wiped her memory, faked her death and then made her believe that they lovers and had her beg for sex moments after she woke up! In the ED she's one 5 in a harem and the next episode is called "Buying a Slave" which doesn't bode well for how he gets the next member!

Wonder Egg Priority ep 2
Some of the scenes here were just as uncomfortable for entirely different reasons. I wonder if Neiru's sister is/was (😞) suffering from bullying due to racism, a topic I don't think I've seen tackled in anime, at least in a way that didn't use analogy.

Cells at Work BLACK ep 4
Consequences!

Re:ZERO s2 p2 e3
