Your anime viewing journal

Over the last couple of weeks I've been mainly rewatching Full Metal Panic.

Watched the original series and the more comedy based series. Is it better to watch/listen to the audio dramas before Invisible Invasion (or whatever the 3rd series is called)

Don't forget The Second Raid. Invisible Victory is the fourth series, hence IV is not only the abbreviation of the name but the number of the series.

Not sure about the audio dramas.
 
A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof episode 10 Slayer sister.

Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World Season 2 episode 10 Too great a power.

Kuromukuro episodes 7-20

Kuromukuro is one of my favorites of the handful of mecha titles I like. I should dig out my Pony Canyon Blu-ray CE sets and watch that again sometime soon!

I also still need to watch the second season of Our last Crusade; I really enjoyed Season 1.
 
The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows (English Dub) Episode 9

A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof Episode 10


Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World Season 2 Episode 22

The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows Episode 11
 
Heavy Meal L-Gaim - Episodes 1 - 10

Time to re-watch one of my all time favourites now that a fansub of the Japanese Blu-ray set has been released. This is my 4th watch of L-Gaim and it was nearly 11 years ago that I last watched it. These early episodes do a load of setup and then if I recall it really kicks into gear in the next couple of episodes.

Urusei Yatsura Movie 4: Lum the Forever

I thought this movie was kinda OK but not as good as the previous 3 films. It had the familiar surrealism and comedy that you expect from a UY movie and al lot of it I enjoyed but I have to admit I found the second half slightly incohesive at times which detracted from my overall enjoyment of the film.

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX - Episode 10

Kuromukuro is one of my favorites of the handful of mecha titles I like. I should dig out my Pony Canyon Blu-ray CE sets and watch that again sometime soon!

I watched Kuromukuro a few years ago and really enjoyed it.
 
You know how there's all that stuff you've not started or finished?
This week I have rewatched

The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure

Brilliant laugh. Great fun watching Cain working his way after reincarnation.
Not that they reminded us of that much.
I ignored the ethics of a 300 year old Elf who looks 20 hitting on a 12 year old. Or was he 10?
It's a shame it was only 12 episodes, I would have liked more of some of the characters.

Jormungand S1
Bit of comedy and lots of fun fights.
Jonah's white eyelashes are strangely hypnotic.
Best is Lehm, old, experienced, smokes and cool.
Who would I marry?
Valmet has an eye patch but Chiquita kneed a woman in the face. Both fanservice girls.
Best line
Doctor, the busty patient is doing muscle training! 😇

S2 is playing now.
Can't wait for the bendy Katana. Episode 17.

Fire Force Season 3 episode 59 Retrieval.

Kuromukuro episodes 21-26 (Complete. A solid mecha anime overall - I can see why it has its fans.) 3.5/5

Kyatto Ninden Teyandee
episodes 1-20
 
Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian (dub) eps 2-6
Secret siblings, first meeting, mediation, surprise and confrontation.
This has some very funny moments and there's quite a bit of intrigue with their relationships before the current events of the show. It doesn't seem in a rush to reveal all about these previous events though as there's only been hints at stuff and I'm halfway through the season. Seems there's a season 2 coming though.

I wonder who that will turn out to be 🤔🤔🤔
I wrote this in response to this: "Mysterious Childhood Friend Whose Name He Has Forgotten" from @Rui's episode one review. Turns out it seems that it was Alya's older sister rather than Alya herself as there's a scene where her sister flashbacks to them as kids (still not completely confirmed yet), but this previous comment was without knowing anything about the show, but having seen that trope play out.
