That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2 (Japanese audio) - Episodes 13-19 (37-43)

Slime returns to the main series with its second half of Season 2. This cour is an interesting gamble because as much as I like the conversations that go on throughout this Isekai series, half of this cour is literally just sitting down and talking for what could have been sorted in a few episodes. In other words, it overstays its welcome by bad pacing.

My guess with the pacing issues is down to (according to various users) the anime adaptation following the manga adaptation rather than the light novels.

Peach Boy Riverside episode 12 Belong. (Complete. Though a decent fantasy series telling the story out of order was my biggest problem overall with the anime, and it sadly hasn’t given me the incentive to rewatch chronologically.) 3/5

The Aquatope on White Sand episode 11 Typhoon

The Heike Story episode 1 Wandering souls.

Kuroko no Basket episodes 1-13
 
Been trying out an assortment of streaming anime over the last few days, while recuperating from surgery:

The Aquatope on White Sand eps 1-7

To Your Eternity eps 1-3

Remake Our Life! episode 1

How a Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom eps 1-4

...and even some on the ecchi side, lol:

Nozo x Kimi 1-3 (complete)

Peter Grill And The Philosopher's Time eps 1-12 (10 minute episodes)
 
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S (Japanese audio) - Episodes 1-5

More entertaining fun from KyoAni and Ilulu is a great addition to the cast.

Peach Boy Riverside(Complete) - episode 12 Interesting fantasy series but found it hard to follow and less engaging due to the non chronological order and don’t have the urge to watch it again.Gonna try the Manga though. Overall 6/10

Higurashi When They Cry Sotsu- episode 13

The Case Study Of Vanitas(Complete)- episode 12 Absolutely stunning to watch looking forward to how BONES adapts the next part of the Manga.Looking forward to the next cour. Overall 9/10

The Dungeon of Black Company episode 11 Blush.

Kuroko no Basket episodes 13-25 (Complete. Though perhaps a bit predictable in terms of story beats the execution and music especially helped the series to be a solid sports anime, for which I’ll be delving into the other seasons.) 3.5/5

Kuroko no Basket 2nd Season episodes 26-30
 
World Witches Series: World Witches Take Off! (English Dub) Episode 5-6

Blue Reflection Ray Episode 23 last hurrah.

I'm Standing on a Million Lives 2nd Season Episode 23 Climb and dive.

My Next Life As a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! X Episode 12 Graduation. (Complete. A decent continuation and another fun outing from this series. I'll definitely be checking out the film.) 3.5/5

The Dungeon of Black Company Episode 11 Booming.
 
Yawara ep4-6

The addition of sneering playboy Kazamatsuri (Akira Kamiya!) as a potential suitor for Yawara probably reads as more uncomfortable now that it might have at the time, given that she is presumably 17 and he seems to be around 30, but I do like that the show gradually seems to be developing him into a more rounded character than his initial introduction as a straight up heel might have suggested.

The Duke of Death and His Maid Episode 12 (Complete. A CGI anime that portrays a charming love story mixed with supernatural elements. I'll be checking out the sequel aswell when it comes out.) 3.5/5
 
Finished Terror in Resonance and man Yoko Kanno really made another masterpiece soundtrack. Had a few issues with the story in the second half but I really enjoyed the series. Shibazaki is a clear favourite character

Also now 64 episodes into The Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Before this Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood held the highest episode count in a series I've watched so it's a pretty big milestone. You can't convince me to start a long running, 100+ episode Jump series but I'll happily see LOTGH to the end. Fantastic show so far

The Duke of Death and His Maid ep 12 (complete)
Declaration!
Loved that ending, although it was very much the end of the beginning type of thing. The romance is sweet and the characters are mostly fun. Definitely be watching the sequel.
The CG characters are very similar to Hi Score Girl which I quite liked, but they were in a modern setting whereas Duke/Maid has a older setting and it is a bit jarring sometimes.
8/10

The Case Study of Vanitas ep 12 (complete)
This however was a terrible last episode. We may have learnt a few crumbs of info, but nothing happened. For a show with its fair share of action, some sort of sub boss fight could have happened. No it just ended with them on a train. I guess it's more an end of a part 1 rather than season 1 by the sounds of it, but when scoring on MAL you have to score what you've seen, so half of what is intended and not the whole.
The story has its intrigue, but the tone is all over the place and I didn't particularly like any of the characters. Vanitas is arrogant and Noe is a bit of a wet blanket.
The art and animation were pretty good though.
6/10

The Dungeon of Black Company ep 11
Power!

Kageki Shoujo!! ep 12
Auditions continue.
