Sorairo Utility ep6-8
Away from the magical girl simulwatch, this is really all I’ve been watching lately, but I find that it’s not one I have much to say about on an episode-to-episode basis. It continues to be a very charming little series; a few hints of conflict are seeping in around Haruka possibly harbouring thwarted ambitions of a professional career, but they’re keeping it light, even if they did manage to squeeze in a Golgo 13 joke.
Shikabane Hime (Corpse Princess: Aka) ep1
Was briefly talking to some other folk about late-game Gainax shows the other day and I suddenly remembered this was a thing that existed. My memory is of it being a fairly nuts and bolts horror/action series that I think I took umbrage to at the time because I suspected the fansubs of being poorly scripted, but hey, sometimes you just want to watch an undead girl killing monsters with a machinegun, so here I am.
Coming back to it now, it’s a lot more nicely animated than I remember (although I’ve probably just doomed it to go down after ep1 by saying that), but even by anime standards, the male lead does seem like an absolute personality vacuum. It would be nice if there were a little more flair to the shots of heroine Makina firing her guns, but if the visuals stay at this standard I’ll likely stick with it.
