Your anime viewing journal

Violet Evergarden Gaiden: Eternity and the memory Doll - It was alright but it does not reach the heights of the show even the animation isnt special my big problem like with Sound Oath Promise why is this film not a show. I feel in episode form it would have worked better. 7/10
 
Heaven's Lost Property Forte
More silly, at times inappropriate, highjinks from the gang.

Heaven's Lost Property: The Angeloid of Clockwork
I understand why it's done in terms of introducing this movies new heroine but did the first 40mins of this movie really have to be a recap of the series! After that it was good though.

Clones Wars Season 2
So much better than season1. Better art, animation, stories. All if it really.

Brass Eye: Science, Sex and Crime episodes
This show can be so insane. I'm not sure the sex epsiode would get made today in the same way for instance.
 
I found the japanese bluray raws someplace (I leave it to your imagination where) and synced available subtitles to the individual episode m2ts streams.
 
Kakushigoto episode 1 Seems wholesome and funny so far.

The 8th Son? Are you Kidding Me? episode 1 A three-episode rule title for now.

Vatican Miracle Examiner episodes 1-6

Asteroid in Love ep 12 (complete)
Summer trip comes to an end.
Another well put together Doga Kobo show with likeable and cute characters, light edutainment and a little bit of light drama.
Another show from this season that I wouldn't mind having a second season of.
8/10

pet ep 13 (complete)
Big reveal and discovery.
Oft confusing, but had some interesting ideas.
7/10

Kakushigoto ep 1
Watch out for the Fancypeeps!
Some funny moments in this episode as we're introduced to a father trying to hide the fact that he's a mangaka from his daughter.
 
A Certain Scientific Railgun T episode 10 An unexpected friendship.

Bungo and Alchemist -Gears of Judgement- episode 1 “What is this a crossover episode?!”

Haikyu!: To The Top episode 13 Casual admittance. (Complete. Another very enjoyable season, and one of my favourite ongoing sports anime.) 4/5

Listeners episode 1 Seems familiar but could turn out well

Sakura Wars The Animation episode 1 I found the 2000 anime to be decent so hopefully this’ll be good too.

Wave, Listen to Me! episode 1 Radio radio.

Vatican Examiner Miracle episodes 7-12 & OVA (Complete. A series that sure goes places with its storylines, all whilst retaining a unique feel courtesy of the Vatican theming.) 3.5/5

Wakaba*Girl episodes 1-14 (Complete. A Harmless and sometimes saccharine story about a fish out of water girl trying to fit in at a new school. Not much else to say, it was comfy and fun overall.) 3/5

Listeners ep 1
Seems like a steam punky mecha show based in a post apocalyptic pastiche of England with nods to rock music.

Wave, Listen to Me! ep 1
Shock jock. Not really getting much from this so far, we'll see how it goes.

Arte ep 1
I draw, therefore I am.
Seems like an underdog story. Could go a few ways either a straight SOL as the protag gets used to a new lifestyle and mets new people or a romance as she chips away at the gruff exterior of the Leo. MAL has both listed in the genre.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! ep 1
Isekai that's similar in some ways to Ascendance, but in other ways is the complete opposite. So female lead in a fantasy world with magic who uses her knowledge of her previous life to get what she wants, but is in high society instead of working class and has much higher stakes than wanting to read books.

Ascendance of a Bookworm 2 ep 1
Into the lion's den.

Sing "Yesterday" for Me ep 1
Seems like an interesting, more adult oriented, SOL show. A college grad doesn't know what to do with himself and is working part-time and then 2 women come into his life. The tone and the interesting style of the art is something very different from the other Doga Kobo shows I've seen.
 
Sol Levante
It sure looks like a good demo for the potential of 4K anime but that aside it's an assault on the eyes and not really long enough to leave an impression. 4/10

Nisemonogatari [Rewatch] episodes 1-7

Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story episode 13 - End
A great spinoff with some interesting twists on the setting established in the main series. With that wild cliffhangar of an ending I'm excited for season 2. 8/10
 
Gal & Dino ep1

This is rather sweet, I think? It's far more wholesome, but you can tell it's very clearly the same folk behind Pop Team Epic.

Wave, Listen to Me! ep1

Despite always having liked Hiroaki Samura's artwork, I never got into Blade of the Immortal - this feels more like something I can get behind.
 
Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 2 episode 15 Great to see this back again.

Arte episode 1 A historical anime with an artistic flare.

Gal & Dino episode 1 I have no idea what to make of this but it has a charm to it.

My Hero Academia Fourth Season episode 88 Fire fly. (Complete. A similar pattern of the key storyline being in the first half of the season and the second giving way for more training/school based content. A decent season but not as strong as what’s come before.) 3.5/5

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes lead to Doom! episode 1 Ascendance of a villainess?

Sing “YESTERDAY” For Me episode 1 Yesterday, they gave some convenience food away...

Wolf’s Rain episodes 1-6
 
Violet Evergarden - Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll - (dub)
Another story from this franchise that tugs at the heart strings, maybe not quite up there with the best episodes from the series, but certainly better than most. The plot was a bit disjointed though and maybe could have been better in a different order or by interweaving the 2 strands of the story together instead of separate parts which made it feel a bit like episodes stitched together.
7/10

KONOSUBA: Legend of Crimson
An explosive trip to Megumin's home village. Some funny moments and good action, but not quite up to the standard of the second season. Sort of felt a bit rushed with the big bad, so could have spent a little more time with the latest of the Demon King's generals.
7/10

Shachibato! President, It's Time for Battle! ep 1
Doh! Didn't mean to watch this. I got it mixed up with another show 🤦‍♂️
Was OK though so might keep it up. A comedy about someone with little to no experience thrust into the role of leading an adventure team in a fantasy world.

Gleipnir ep 1
Very intriguing indeed. Little bit of an introduction to our MC and another key figure also appears about halfway through, which reveals our MC's secret, but the bigger picture is shrouded in mystery for now.
