Hehehe I am already rewatching Frieren… what can I say, I really liked it. Considering how much content there still is and how successful it was I am very hopeful for season 2.

I am sad we went from the elf of the season being Frieren to now it is Sylphie >.> Im still on standby to watch Mushoku Tensei when Rudy leaves the academy >.>

Speaking of Arcane, did you watch the Fallout live action? The voice of Jinx is the main character in fallout and that is a live action that caught my interest. I loved it. I am not a Fallout veteran, I have not played all the games but I have played 4. So I don’t know a tonne of lore, but I know enough to follow the story pretty easily.

I watched Solo Leveling with my brother who also read it. As soon as the season ended he couldn’t wait for the next season and reread the whole series again.
Necromancers are actually like the best main characters. The perfect level of ruthless and still a good person. He now has the power to rise the enemies he beats, so its hype af when he is against a cool boss just hoping he raises them after. Igris is one of my favourite summons of his. He definitely gets some other great ones, but Igris is the OG. Its kinda insane that its already been green lit for 7 seasons. I don’t know how much I trust that though…. Just look at Witcher haha.

I went and caught up on Ninja Kamui. I am not one to usually be part of the hating CGI camp, but the mech fights lowered my interest in this series greatly. For never really having much of a story or characters, its fights was easily the highlight by far. And the first few episodes were great, but the mech suits looked so whatever. Like it wasn’t bad, but when its dragging down the only good thing about the series :/ What did you think of the mech suits?

I still haven’t watched Gen V, I intended to watch it before messaging you again but I ended up watching Fallout instead haha. I did watch the something along the lines of the Gen V/The Boys… the latest season of Invincible. I definitely liked part 2 more than part 1. Not that disliked part 1, it just felt like it had a bit of filler.
I started talking about Invincible totally assuming you had seen it… then realised there is a chance you haven’t. I doubt it, but its possible.

Kaiju No.8 I enjoyed the start of the manga but it fell off a bit for me. Since I enjoyed the start Ill watch this season at least. Maybe it will be a case where the anime makes the later parts better.
Ive intended to watch Wind Breaker but just kinda haven’t haha. Is it any good?
How are the new series this season you recon? Any stand outs?
I am very disappointed my Deer comedy isn’t this season, I was kinda looking forward to that >.< Nothing is really standing out this season tbh, all I REALLY care about is Konosuba. I am super excited for that. This isn’t a big season of shows for me it seems, I haven’t heard a lot of buzz about any underdog shows either >.>

Yeah you are right, Frieren isn’t an isekai… I meant fantasy haha. All isekai are fantasy but not all fantasy are isekai >.< I wanted to ask who you thought would pass and fail the last exam but I was too late to ask haha. I remember being surprised Ubel passed, and hilarious that Serie didn’t wanna talk about it. And Methode thinking Serie was cute was why she passed.
Some of the characters from this arc will pop in and out of following arcs. There is actually still lots of content, they could totally do another season right now even ^.^
Im not actually up to date on Undead for the same reason and Ninja Kamui which you asked about why I am behind. Not because of negative reasons, I just don’t watch a lot and I am priortising. I only really watch anime during lunch on weekends now and Ive been prioritising Frieren, Witch and Beast and Solo Leveling. Now that Frieren is over ill probably catch up on Undead then Ninja Kamui. Ive also got some public holidays coming up when I was planning to binge Undead Adventurer.

I usually don’t forget characters completely but I can definitely forget why I liked them. So not quite to the extent of your Nezumi example, but a lot of the time I remember ‘I like this character, but I don’t remember why’. So like the characters I REALLY like, like the ones one my MAL page are the ones I definitely remember why I like them haha.
With Mel I remember us theorising she was the most likely to have died in Jinx’s rocket blast that ended the season. Because in that room Jayce most likely would survive and Mel dying would inflict the most mental damage on him >.< So I wouldn’t be surprised if you went through the effort of remembering her and then she dies first episode next season xD

Based on there only being 1 solo leveling episode left I would say this season is going to end on Sung Jin-woo getting his main ability. Like so far he doesn’t really have abilities, he just has stat increases like speed and strength. Its gonna end on him getting his actual abilities and I am gonna be SOOO hyped for next season.
You’ll find he is pretty much always going up against enemies that are around the same level as him. The story is about him getting stronger and testing that strength on the next strongest enemy haha. So it will never really be a Saitama situation.
Oh yeah you definitely get a pass on Cha Hae-in, like I don’t think they have even name dropped her until episode 11. Cause she isn’t supposed to be in it yet xD I should have just said the short haired blonde that pops up here and there. Given where this season is gonna end she shouldn’t have been in it at all, which is probably why they wanted to do some fan service by showing her. I also don’t think Jeju Island is supposed to be this early, this would be like sprinkling in the Chimera ant arc in Hunter x Hunter. This is like the giant world ending raid and not for ages haha. There’s a chance I am mis remembering or forgot the scouting mission, guess we will see next season. Surprises for us both.

Sounds like we have the same opinions on Ninja Kamui, I didn’t expect the story to bother you as much as me though ;) I thought you would enjoy these revenge plots more than me, but what you described is basically how I felt. I am not inspired by the story at all, I am happy to just mindlessly watch it as a cool action show which I will probably like overall but not think much of it after I am done it.
Yeah Idk why this one got such a good budget, the thing that got me to watch it is cause like the director is the Jujutsu Kaisen director or something like that? Maybe he used his own money for a personal project or something?

Something like Avatar Last Airbender is something where curiosity could get the better of me, there are just a lot of live series I already have planned to watch. Like the top of my list rn is probably Gen V, the spin off to the Boys which I still haven’t watched yet.

What have you got planned for this season of shows?
Sequels I got:
Konosuba and Slime I am definitely watching. Date a live and yuru camp I am most likely watching. Demon Slayer and Hero Academia we will see >.> Mushoku Tensei tell me when they leave the magic academy and I might start watching again… I really do not want to watch the Sylphie love story ;_;
New Series:
Kaiju No 8 was the only real new series I new of. But then my friend showed me a trailer for My Deer Friend Nokotan and it looks hilarious.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/58426/Shikanoko_Nokonoko_Koshitantan
They are the only real plans I have atm, how about you?

Frieren 100% gets my vote then. The animation for episode 26 was insane, that was JJK season 2 levels of animation and something I did not expect. This is a case where the manga is great and I think the anime is even better.
Stark will become main again after the exam. Imagine if he was in the exam, he would basically be like Mashle, getting by without magic.
I think my favourites go Frieren, Ubel, Methode then Stark. Real sad this is ending in 2 episodes, then I am gonna have to find a new isekai.

Oof I remember you saying you liked Mel too xD What happens when there are YEARS between seasons. Hopefully that means it will be good at least. I still think its pretty cool they are turning an arcane character into a league champion.
You definitely should watch it again, I think I remember it pretty well actually but im thinking of watching it again anyway cause its so good…. Man fuck Joey for refusing to watch it.

Summary episodes always suck and I skipped it without giving it a second thought. I didn’t even realise there was a ‘controversy’ around it. Series have summary episodes all the time, and I skip them all the time. No harm done… people suck.
What do you think of Sung Jin-woo so far? I also find it hilarious how much they are including Cha Hae-in so far. From memory I don’t think she was supposed to appear at all yet… but she is a fan favourite and they keep giving her cameo’s.

So what did you think of Ninja Kamui? After the first episode I thought for sure this would be a show for you. The fight in the opening was dope. I just hated how obvious it was his family would die haha. I think it could have been cool if like the kid died and it was him and his wife against the organisation or something a little different to mix it up. But it still seems cool af so far. Cyberpunk Ninja Warfare.

Ill give Undead Adventurer a try then. I really don’t have much this season and I do like the look of the girl that definitely isn’t Frieren despite what the link says. You know the girls I like ;)

The Live Action Avatar, no I did not. On the internet I heard it was shit but then from people I know (like you) I have heard its alright. Still though I just don’t se the point in live adaptations. If I wanted to watch avatar again I would just watch the cartoon. Even if the live action is good its not gonna be better than the cartoon so whats the point. I watched the One Piece one cause im probably not gonna rewatch all of one piece from the start, but Avatar is only 3 seasons so I could.
Idk I am not completely against trying the live action, I am just not very motivated to right now. I also have a tonne of games to play which are keeping me occupied. Maybe after I finish those.

The 4 shows you asking about for anime of the year…. >.< 2 of them I didn’t watch cause I didn’t like the manga, 1 of them I didn’t watch cause I am worried I wont like it. Jujutsu Kaisen is the only one I watched and it totally deserves something like animation of the year or best action… but it definitely isn’t getting my vote for best anime. If Frieren counts then that gets my vote, if the last wave of shows doesn’t count then it would be Heavenly Delusion or Undead Girl Murder Farce. I don’t think a main stream juggernaut deserves it this year tbh, those 2 I just mentioned totally blew me away and they came out of no where.

Undead Unluck is still surprising me, I wasn’t expecting the whole world is looping thing. When it comes to the looping plot point, I do prefer when it isn’t the main character that is looping. This series has had and is continuing to have cool plot twists. I am still an episode behind I think, last thing I saw was the looping timeline reveal.

That’s the best thing about Frieren, side quest the anime that feels like a SoL buit it totally isn’t. My comment on Denken isn’t a spoiler at all. I was just referencing that during this exam some episodes he gets as much screen time as Frieren. Which when reading initially frustrated me cause I didn’t care about him… then I think he won me over with the whole fist fight for the bird at the end of the first exam. Im sure the priest that left is fuming he left before meeting the MILF that is in the exam right now, and just gave Frieren a big hug.

So you know how arcane uses league characters… league’s next champion is gonna be someone from arcane. Mel’s mum is gonna be the next league champ, don’t know when she comes out. I would guess when season 2 of arcane comes out.

The only thing from 100 girlfriends I have seen since the anime is the LAP BED!!!! Instead of a lap pillow the lap bed looks hilarious. Definitely keen for another season of this.

So funnily enough I am watching Apothecary Diaries. I started it like a couple days before you sent this comment… I am 9 episodes in. Its pretty good, not sure if it is your thing but it’s a decent watch. The main girl is quite entering.
Solo Leveling I just love Jinwoo. Him slaughtering those hunters was bliss xD Im just imagining Deku or Tanjiro in that situation and me wanting to tear my eye balls out cause he cant hurt them since they are people too. Jinwoo hasn’t even got his main powers yet which compliment his personality so well ^.^ Shame there wasn’t an episode this week, so hyped.
The Beast and Witch I am honestly enjoying a fair bit. Its got a similar premise to Dorohedoro where one of the 2 MC’s have been cursed and is hunting down the one that cursed them. So they are like special investigators that deal with witches in a world were magic is integrated into everyday life. Like 1 arc is about how Necromancy is legal and is kinda treated like abortion. Legal some places, illegal others and kinda in a moral grey area. A witch is illegaling raising the dead and normally what happens is a mini arc to catch the witch and see if it’s the one that cursed the MC.
Ninja Kamui is one I started and I am super surprised you haven’t picked it up actually. It seems right up your alley. Good old fashion revenge story John Wick style. I kinda hated how OBVIOUS it was his family was gonna die in the start… isn’t even a spoiler cause they are SCREAMING his family is doomed from the very start. But it is just a straight up man vs organisation story in a Cyberpunk setting… im pretty confident this is one you will watch sooner or later.
Now that a few more episodes are out is the unwanted undead one you would still recommend? I might try another show after I watch up on my current ones

Well I am back and with a fixed PC (hopefully). The monitors would just keep turning off so I had it sent off to be repaired. Hasn’t been playing up the last few days so I thought I could finally risk sending a comment haha.


The DC universe is fucked, I have never religiously watched it and just the individual ones here and there I have heard were ok like Joker. So I intend to watch Joker 2. But for the most past I have not watched DC much at all just cause I don’t hear good things.

So I got stuck in a bunch of airports on my trip and I used that time to catch up on a shit tone of anime xD I caught up on JJK, Dark Gathering, Shangri-La and One Piece which I was ages behind on all.

You were right about Dark Gathering, once I fought through the first few episodes I ended up really liking it.. and I don’t even remember why I wasn’t a fan at the start. Now I only have good points to think about. Some of those ghosts were brutal af and the episode with the spirit possessing the Grandma…. I was expecting her to be a major villain and then she gets turned to meatballs the episode after :O And then it ends on a cliff hanger COME ON. Well this is one I am definitely watching season 2.

JJK was great just like season 1. But just like most battle shounen I walk away going that was cool but a lot of the deaths didn’t feel earnt and were just kinda for shock. Like you have already heard my Nanami speel… now Nobara was way to bad ass to barely be able to beat a clone and get one shot. And yeah one shots happen and they can be cool, but she didn’t even try to dodge. While I believe Mahito to be powerful enough to do that, I also believe Nobara woulda tried something other than being a deer in headlights. Im glad this is a series willing to kill big characters, but I also think that most of them weren’t really earned :/ I still had fun with the season though and look forward to the next one.

Talking about JJK gets me thinking about Chainsaw Man and I am so stoked for the movie announcement. Reze is my second favourite character after Makima so this movie is gonna be great.

How are you finding Undead Unluck now that it has been a while? I am still really enjoying it. The author must be a big hunter x hunter fan cause the main villain organisation in this is straight up the Phantom Troiupe xD Rip is blonde chrollo and the girl protecting him is Killua’s brother. Now my only complaint is this chibi BS. Rip becoming a Loli sucks, I hate when series do this. Idr if it happened in Tower of God anime yet but it happens to Rak and he just becomes a joke of a character from then on. Turn Rip back!

So what you think of Frieren? The character and the show. She got to be one of the most relatable characters of all time and its probably my next favourite publishing manga next to Chainsaw Man. There party is pretty wholesome to follow and a lot of the side characters I wouldn’t normally like a great too. Denken is pretty interesting to follow and I think my next favourite after Frieren is Ubel. She got those crazy vibes I cant escape. And there are still memorable characters we haven’t even been introduced to yet. I doubt Frieren will stay at #1 after its done airing but if something were to overtake FMA Brotherhood this is one I would be ok with ;P
Oh and following the league announcement of the next Arcane season, did you also see the new cinematic they released? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHhqwBwmRkI
My favourite parts of this is the Valkyrie in purple. Her whole thing is constantly stunning people and her ultimate is the chains that comes out. The dude at the end’s ultimate is he is unkillable for a few seconds and the spirit attacking him is the god of death. So its sick to see him literally fighting off death until his wife comes ^.^
Cant wait for the next season of arcane!

Still no idea on when Ill actually finish Attack on Titan >.<

With 100 girlfriends I think my current favourite is still the Tsundere tbh. That definitely isn’t my favourite girl stereotype but idk, there is something about her that I like. And I couldn’t believe it actually went down the mum route. I joked about it when she first ‘kidnapped’ her daughter. That is hilarious, a mum and daughter are both part of the harem. That’s insane and I am all for it. Since the season ended did your favourites change at all?

Invinsible was still good overall. Ts just there is some filler that is worthwhile and some that is not. It felt like the filler in Invisiible was like 30% worthwhile and 70% not. But I shall hold my seasonal opinion until the end of the season.

Dandadan is a very whacky shounen, kinda in the same vein as Gintama but it is a lot faster to get your attention. You should hopefully like it pretty quickly instead of how long Gintama took to pick up. I would strongly recommend :)

So what are you watching this season? Mine is still pretty short:
Sequels: The Dangers in My Heart (my slice of life of the season)… and that’s it xD

Non-sequels: The Witch and the Beast (really liking this one so far) and Solo Leveling (I think you already know my feelings on this one…. It gets SOOOO good!)

And that is honestly it. Besides carry overs like Frieren I only got 3 so far :/ Any recommendations

Hey! So I am back 😁 Been back for about 5 days, but I’ve returned to a broken PC. And I don’t really wanna write one of our long comments on my phone. Just letting you know I’ll respond when I get my computer fixed (which will hopefully be soon). Happy new year 🥳

Don’t know if I have mentioned it actually but I am half Canadian, my dad was born in Canada and half my family is there. I used to go like every second year as a kid but now I haven’t been in 10 years >.< Going to spend it with family so I probably wont be on for the month that I am away. What did you go to Canada for?
Yep, for me Christmas usually means your feet get welded to the cement if you dare go outside without shoes on. Its hot AS FUCK, experiencing Christmas in Australia would make you understand why I don’t see Jogo as a threat at all ;)

I am really caught up to JJK, I saw the after credit scene but he was basically dead already. He is the last 10 seconds of Gustavo Fring at this point.
After making that 100% accurate and amazing reference it occurs to me you haven’t seen Breaking Bad have you xD One of the shows that you would 100% vibe with but haven’t seen… like me until last year.
Yeah look, it doesn’t matter how strong characters SAY someone is… if all we seen is that character get his ass beat then it means nothing. Until 5 episodes ago I forgot Jogo was a character and now he just one shot a fan favourite. Jogo only lost until this point and I saw him as a gag villain…. This would be like if after Cid sent Delta to go kill Juggernaut, then Juggernaut killed Delta. We have been told Juggernaut is super strong, but I forgot his name and had to look it up cause really he has been insignificant af. JJK doesn’t have a memorable criminal organisation like the Akatsuki or the Espada or the Phantom Troupe. When I think JJK villains I think Sukana, Geto and Mahito… unless one of them is in a fight I consider it a fight against an NPC and if a main character dies to them then that’s just sad haha. Nanami may ultimately die to Mahito but lets be real his death is because of Jogo 1 shotting him out of no where and no matter how you defend it.. my reaction was just a pathetic ‘wow really.’ So yeah, Im still really liking this season but that death was not it >.>
And I don’t think I made the main reason I am disappointed apparent. What really bothers me is that I feel like Jogo should have died twice by now. Its like if Megumi died to that blonde pony tail loser. I get his ‘ability’ was that miracles occur when he died or whatever. But before I learned that I thought Nanami just let him live for whatever fucked up reason. Imgaine Nanami just let him live and then he goes on to killing a main character. Main characters dying to villains that should have died earlier sucks. And I thought Jogo was dead twice over already…. That was quite the rant. I apologise ^.^

Yeah my faith in Marvel TV shows has been tested more than their movies. I don’t doubt Loki s2 is good I just literally haven’t seen it anywhere and keep forgetting it exists. Its like the algorithm knows I haven’t liked any Disney shows recently. Ill probably get around to Loki s2 after I get back… if I remember ;P
But yeah I thought the Marvels was fine. Ms Marvel tv show SUCKED ASS, I actually hated. But then Ms Marvel in this movie was great. I completely agree. Goes to show it wasn’t her character that sucked, just her TV show.
Idk how you don’t have the fatigue yet. I am not over super hero movies I am just over their formula. I clearly can still enjoy them, they just need to make them exciting for me again.

So Castlevania I didn’t give a shit about Isaac until season 3 aswell and he ended up being one of my favourites as well. That’s why I think the writers were amazing. But Isaac aside they made you like Trevor instantly, made the relationship between Trevor and Sypha interesting and made Dracula’s intentions clear and sympathetic from the start. Castlevania season 1 was 4 episodes long and it accomplished more than this spin off in 8 epsidoes. I didn’t like Isaac in season 1 but he still had a distinct personality. No one in Nocturne has any semblance of Individuality. I am not saying this show is a lost cause but I do honestly think this had a way worse start despite having more episodes and an already high standing reputation. Yeah you can say that means it had expectations to meet, but after watching 8 episodes less than a week later I can tell you barely anything happened and I am not satisfied with what I watched. It just felt very generic and predictable and did not stand out to me. If they can pull an Isaac off, but for the entire cast… that would be an amazing feat and then you can hear me sing its praises haha.

I just finished Spider Man 2, I am messaging you now HOT off the cuffs of finishing the game. It was awesome. I loved playing as Bully Maguire xD And I honestly thought a game with 2 spidermen would 100% kill one of them off. I was totally impressed Peter made it through, and playing as Venom was pretty damn fun ^.^ Who did you play as more when you were able to choose? At the start of the game I was Miles more than Peter, but then after you get the Symbiote I was Peter more than Miles.
And the Wraith side missions, do you think that was setting up Carnage to be the villain in spiderman 3?
3 to 4 hours, on average I get 5 hours of sleep so I could totally manage 3 to 4 ;)

I cant stress enough how much I love AoT, and that love is why I don’t wanna watch when I know Ill be crushed >.< Honestly knowing spoilers, and those spoilers being wrong would make me wanna watch it more. But I have told my theories to both you and a couple other friends and NO ONE is denying any of my claims. Making me want to watch it less. If just one of you told me Gabi dies or Eren lives I would watch it in a heart beat. The fact that no one denies anything makes me think I am spot on and that makes me even sadder that this unpredictable series seems to be going exactly where I think it’s going.
They even straight up say it in trash taste. I don’t remember who but someone said in the episode ‘goes ill do the hot takes to engage the chat.’ It can be obvious, but then Connor and Garnt are still great fun to watch. I am kinda over Joey’s frustrating personality. But Connor ripping into his Cope for Aki not being a Disney adult was hilarious.

I showed my sister the scene of Delta rushing Cid not knowing he was John Smith in an attempt to get her to watch it. Just cause I love that scene and I think Delta would be her favourite as well. I think I would go Gamma, Alpha then Delta.
I am not even gonna try figuring out who I like more between Cid and Andy. I like them both and I am content not having an explicit favourite in that department haha. I am sad bride zombie had to die in the last Undead Unluck episode. Actually giving me some feeling with the teacher story and her solo suicide run. They said at the start they the spoiled couldn’t be reverted, I was hoping since she seemed special she might be able to. I can respect the series stuck with its rules but I am still sad she couldn’t be saved.

I have watched 2 more episode of 100 girlfriends and I definitely like it enough already to see it through to the end. Unfortunately I am still an adult now and catching up on shows is harder >.< Look forward to seeing your girl and telling you why whoever I end up liking is better :D Currently I think I’d say the tsundere is my favourite but they have all been enjoyable to watch. Even the mute girl I normally wouldn’t like that character stereotype but Ive enjoyed the episodes. How the hell will the author keep this fresh for 97 more girls xD

Invincible I have had mixed feelings. Episode 4 was awesome and where it left off was cool and rip mid season break. Episode 1-3 were kinda whatever and I felt like episode 4 was the only real episode of the season. Good character development was happening with Mark’s mom but the contents of the 3 episodes coulda just been 1 really…. Take out all the Amber parts. I cant believe he is still with Amber.

From what I have seen so far I haven’t remembered any of it at all. Just watched the cat island arc wondering how I don’t recall a thing. But I remember liking it and so far I have been again so that’s good :) Wonder if I will catch up before season 2 ends.

EDIT: Btw Dandadan got an anime announcement which is like my second favourite weekly manga behind Chainsaw Man. And its by the studio and music composer behind Devilman Crybaby... so get HYPED

I probably wont send another one until after I get back unfortunately. Who knows, maybe I will have some down time and a computer I can use but don’t count on it. Potentially Happy Christmas and Merry New Year and catch you in 2024 :D

I indeed have been busy… and have only been continuing to do so. I leave in 3 weeks to spend a month in Canada for Christmas, so I have had a lot of preparing for that and doing stuff I want to do before hand like more Tattoos. I just got a really sick Chainsaw man one yesterday that I would love to show you but it is Major spoilers >.< Im getting like a collage of my favourite manga panels and I started with Chainsaw Man, next im getting Escanor from 7 deadly sins when he is looking down on Estarossa.

Haha ok Mal telling you about RE makes sense. I also saw it was available on the plane when I flew to a concert recently. I still haven’t watched the all themovies yet. I was thinking I would on the plane when I fly to Canada cause that is like a 17 hours flight or something.
RE9 being like 6 but just be absolutely amazing. I heard someone else talking about that too recently actually when I went to an anime convention. Damn you all getting me hyped now and watach RE 9 not be like that at all.

So I am up to date on JJK, the only spoilers I knew were Nanami death but not how or any details. And I am extremely disappointed >.> Jogo is a lame ass villain that I honestly thought died in season 1, then I thought he was gonna die in season 2 when Gojo fucked him up again. One thing I hate in shows is one a character that should have died kills someone I like. So the fact This villain I keep forgetting exists and should have died twice just 1 shot Nanami and Maki is lame af. Everything else I am liking about JJK rn haha.
You say shocking moments for anime only… idk about other anime only but my reaction was ‘wait that’s it…. That’s how it happened…. Wtf?’

I knew Shinji’s bankai was new I just forgot to mention it. I really thought Sajin died in the manga >.< I haven’t fact checked that but I am surprised. Cant wait for the next season. I imagine the new stuff will only escalate from here and be more obvious.

Im probably not gonna watch Ahsoka, Im sitting on a lot of live shows rn that I am more interested in. I haven’t even started Loki s2 yet. I am up to date on Invincible though ^.^ Im watching the Fall of house usher on Netflix rn and some other horror stuff like haunting of Bly manor. The marvel fatigue really setting in. I did watch the Marvels and honestly thought it was ok. Its coping a lot of criticism and I thought it was fine. I enjoyed it still so I guess my fatigue isn’t as bad as a lot of others. How did you find it?
Im gonna splash you with some cold brutal honesty opinions…. I thought Castlevania Nocturne sucked. I was watching it with my siblings and we were just like ‘is this even the same writers?’ (Which… surprise… it is isn’t). But we just didn’t care about anyone, the characters had no personality and there was no story until the very end. We watching episode 8 like ‘has anything even happened this season.’ Alucard’s entrance was cool af but relying on legacy characters to retain interest is sad. The only positive was the animation and fight choreography stayed on that high Castlevania level, but besides that I think this season was a massive miss.

Im playing Spiderman 2, I just did the Lizard fight and playing as Bully Maguire is fun af xD Cant wait to put some dirt in peoples eyes. I am not surprised you finished it already, its hard for me to buy you don’t have time for games when you can smash out Spiderman so fast ;P (joking I get it) Kraven has been a pretty bad ass villain and I really didn’t expect this much killing from a spiderman game… I am impressed. If only the boring npc missions didn’t exist.

You might be waiting a while my friend. I have no intentions of watching Attack on Titan anytime soon >.< I will always consider it one of my favourite anime’s of all time. I have no doubt Ill finish it at some point. But right now I am sure if I watched it all I would be is mad. I don’t see an ending where I walk out happy, satisfied…. Or even just not angry. The only spoiler I know is Hange, but given what Connor said on Trash Taste I am sure its gonna end exactly how I imagine. Hange gonna die, Eren gonna die, Levi be depressed, Mikasa be depressed, Gabi gonna live happily ever after…. I don’t really want to watch these 2 episodes if I am being honest. Given how much I like the franchise its inevitable I will finish it, but that time is not anytime soon.

Yep Frieren best girl and Andy best boy xD Then I also really like Gama and Cid from Eminence. And that last arc in Eminence was awesome, the way Delta lunged at him then turned full puppy after realising it was him gave me a good time. And all the mix ups at the end with Shadow Garden taking the gold when he was trying to find it…. I wonder what the next arc will be about. But yeah I think Gama is my favourite shadow garden girl, do you have a favourite?

Well you convinced me, and from the first 2 episodes you were right. I started the 100 girlfriends anime and at the very start I thought it was trying way to hard to be meta… but then by the end of the episode it kinda had the Eminence charm where it was so meta it managed to go full circle and make me laugh. Like with how hard Hikari despairs when her plans fail. When the Poki snapped she got me good. This does seem like a fun one that Ill catch up on soon.
Dark Gathering I do intend to catch up on, just after everything else but I definitely haven’t dropped it. It will probably be one I binge when I get back from Canada.

Spy x Family has been solid, I remember really liking this arc on the cruise and some of my key memories from the manga was the chapter when Yor got shot in the ass.... and when she attacks the cat. Core SxF chapters ;P And its just been more about the family rather than individual characters :)

I plan to get at least 1 more message in before I leave for Canada, but I guess know that if I don’t find the time before December 8 I probably wont get back to you till mid January >.> Apoloigies but Ill try my best :D

EDIT: And PS I have started rewatching Magus Bride so that I can actually know wtf is going on in Season 2 xD

Sorry about the late response, over the last month I got a JetSki, my open Bike License, went to a couple concerts, birthday parties and got some tattos and this coming weekend I am going to a different state. I know you have eagerly been awaiting my reply ;)

You see, I could go with non Ghibli fans… but convincing them is still the issue. Its like convincing someone who doesn’t care about League of legends to watch Arcane. You don’t need to play the game but just the association throws a lot of people off. And when you in a different country they all have plans for what they want to do so its hard to convince them otherwise.
If you got your favourite pokemon that is a win right, I see no downsides ^.^ You were never gonna get ALL the straw hats, that was way too ambitious from the start xD

They already did tone luffy back a bit and it was still cringe. They all got toned back to some degree but that is honestly why it worked. I remember reading one reason Cowboy Bebop didn’t work is cause they kept Ed exactly the same… which was just so hard to watch as Live Action. The powers and Zoan types I am definitely worried about. They did arlong alright, he was not as menacing as he was in the anime… but he also wasn’t terrible haha. Who even knows how much it will cover aswell since I highly doubt it will cover everything. Maybe it will treat Alabasta as the end or something.

When I watched the resident evil movies I did not know they were on MAL… and now as you have probably figured out I don’t think I remember them well enough to accurately rate them. Since I plan on doing a rewatch at some point soon anyway Ill rate them when I rewatch them. That villain girl from the current movie, when she was all like ‘you killed my father’… my sister and I put our Thanos faces on like ‘I don’t even know who you are.’ Getting the main crew back in 9 would just be the absolute best. 6 is still one of my favourite resident evils and the only game I have ever played that came with 4 whole god damn campaigns. And I feel like that will never happen again aswell. Leon/Chris/Jill/Claire/Ada all have their routes which crossover or at least have 2 campaigns with like Ada/Leon and Chris/Jill/Claire.

I only know 2 jjk spoilers and they are 2 deaths, Nanami very soon and Gojo in the latest chapters. Although I recon Gojo will come back, just like he did in that prequel arc. But Nanami is just cause a friend I know that reads it couldn’t keep their damn mouth shut… but Gojo was unavoidable, it was EVERYWHERE!!!!
Yep my 3 definite favourites from Bleach are Urhara/Yoruichi/Giselle. So I am very happy to see Giselle in action. And I think I told she survives the events of Thousand Year Blood War. The whole female quincy squad survive in the light novel that comes after TYBW :D
Since it has been a while since I read Bleach it is hard to tell the new stuff sometimes honestly. But then there are some obvious ones like Senjumara bankai. Still cant say with 100% certainly but I feel like I would remember her Bankai so that is sick af… and of course that is where the season ends ;_; What other new stuff was in there? I think another was Sajin surviving? Pretty sure we didn’t see him again after the Bambi fight right?
BStray dogs has been great. I am glad it isn’t growing stale after 5 seasons. But yeah that next season teaser looked a bit silly. It is one where there was some pretty big plot armour but it also doesn’t bother me as much as it does in say Fairy Tale. Still though, could be toned down a bit >.<

Oh trust me, the next season of Mushoku Tensei will be the exact same. The anime getting very close to the manga, but they still in the god damn school. And him ‘marrying’ sylphie pissed me off very much. Eris and Roxxy reign supreme!!!

I have not watched Ahsoka how did you feel about it in the end? Sell it to me haha. I have not been motivated to watch any live action shows since One Piece. I am just hearing a lot of mixed stuff about Ahosoka still. Was Rex in it? Does it have a cliff hanger ending? I have a few non anime shows to catch up on, I just watched the first episode of Castlevania: Nocturne tonight. Keen to catch up on this one soon, are you up to date?

I just finished the Cyberpunk DLC the other day and my word…. It takes place in the middle of the story and at the end of the DLC you can chose to get a DLC only ending. Since the ending would take place halfway through the campaign you can tell it wont be as happy as if you completed. AND GOD DAMN, I am not spoiling it but ahhhh.. I need someone to talk about it and my sister hasn’t played it yet. You are my only hope >.>
I have Spider Man but haven’t started it yet, I would have started it this weekend if I wasn’t changing states haha. So I will start it next week…. I assume that is what you are playing instead of Cyberpunk rn haha.

So this season Sousou no Frieren is easily my favourite. I already love the manga and the anime has been doing a great job of adapting it. I know what happens and I cant wait for the next episode xD Frieren herself I would add to my favourite characters, her getting up routine is very relatable haha.
Undead Unluck I am one episode behind but it has honestly been impressing me. I wasn’t expecting much but these episodes have been very fun, definitely one I am gonna stick with. Main dude I thought was gonna be kinda obnoxiously annoying at first but he is actually pretty likeable. And the way he just shoves the sword in him like a sheath, then down the his arm like a hidden blade. I will definitely stick with this one.
Eminence in Shadow and JJK are my most looked forward to sequels. Not a lot to say about them other than I enjoy each episode and they are just so easy to watch. JJK unfortunately I know Nanami death is coming up soon and Eminence in Shadow recently did a cross over with Overlord, you know that anime I kept comparing it to in the first season ;P I did enjoy how the MC kept repeating those 3 lines cause he heard someone say it and found it cool xD
Paladin, Goblin Slayer, Magus Bride and Dead Mount Dead Play I am gonna skip cause I just don’t remember where the previous seasons finished. Spy x Family and Shield Hero I am watching but cant say I am majorly excited for. Season 2 of Shield Hero let me down a bit and Spy x Family I still enjoy but not on the same hype level as the others. Yor getting the cat back is one of the most iconic scenes in the whole series and her going on the date after getting shot in the ass is one of my favourite chapters xD And there are still good scenes to come, but Frieren/Undead/JJK and Shadow and soaking up all my hype rn.
Now that you have seen more episodes what do you think of the ones I am not watching yet. Any you want to convince me into that I can binge later on like I did with Undead Girl Murder Farce?
How has your month bin, sorry again this took a while.

Yo, had a hectic month... hopefully I will respond this week. Sorry for the delay haha

I did watch One Piece on Netflix and it was honestly pretty good. Overall I enjoyed it a lot, definitely have my gripes like I don’t think Luffy worked very well since he kinda just an adult toddler and screaming the attack names was just kinda weird. But I also know ppl would complain if he didn’t do that so idk what the solution would be. But yeah it was good, Id be keen for another season. What did you think? I am concerned about how Chopper would look if there is another season.

I did watch Resident Evil as soon as I sent you the last message ^.^ I don’t mess around when it comes to RE! Speaking of that I am playing the Separate Ways DLC for RE4 remake rn. I love this series and Ada so much. So I am still disappointed she wasn’t in the last movie. But I still liked the movie. My sister and I kept trying to figure out when it was in the timeline cause we didn’t research it before hand. We like ‘Jill has her re3 look, but then it is after mind control so its after 5 meaning Jill changed her look just when she was evil.’ Find it funny when Jill went for the freaking Railgun again, she must have a kink for it after 3. What did you think of the movie?

Manga readers for JJK hyped for this arc huh… manga readers also spoiling the fuck out of the manga rn! All I see all over the place is spoilers from the latest chapter that I am sure you know about since you read it. But here I am, not reading it at all but still warning you since now I know something big THANK YOU MANGA READERS. I am catching up on more anime now though. I am up to date on JJK, Bungou Stray Dogs, Bleach and Zom 100.
SOOOOOOOOO happy to finally see Giselle animated. Idr if Ive told you but she is my 3rd favourite after Urahara and Yoruichi. JJK has been cool but yeah these spoilers slightly ruining the vibe you know >.< Bungou Stray Dogs that ending kinda looked a little silly NGL. I know its teasing the next season but those power ups were starting to get on cartoonishly weird levels. But besides that the season was awesome, the bosses kill on main villain was pretty bad ass af. Although the plot armour on these characters is starting to get quite up there. And my Yosano wasnt in this season at all :( Ive started Undead Girl Murder Farce and am really liking it so far. The dynamic between the 2 MC’s is great.
Gonna be honest, not a big fan of Zom 100. Still like the main character but idk, I find everything else still kinda generic. It just isn’t really doing it for me.
After I catch up on Undead Girl Murder Farce I intend to catch up on Dark Gathering, glad to hear you think it gets better.

Don’t know when I will catch up on Mushoku Tensei. What did you think of this season now that it is over? Sylphie plot has honestly been my least favourite aspect of the series as a while which is why I wasn’t too excited about this season. Eris and Roxy are so much better ;_; Everything about Sylphie sucks including why she stayed hidden for so long. Where did the anime end? I think, well I would guess since I dont know that the manga is still ahead but not by much.

I have not been watching Ashoka, what do you think. I have been hearing mixed reviews and don’t know if I want to start it or not haha. The main thing I have been hearing is the start was meh but its getting good now so idk.

Baldurs Gate is amazing. One of my favourite games of all time now. Just saying if you ever have a spare 100 hours its worth it ;P Gaming wise Cyberpunk DLC dropped today, you gonna be playing that? Get on it before spiderman comes out.

ADDITIONAL!!!
HAHA Gigguk's new video manga reommendation came out and I win. This is one I am already reading and like enough that I am alredy buying ^.^ I read it cause of Akame ga Kill author, he read it cause of ecchi. Regardless of our reasons, we both like it and I beat him ;P

YOU ARE THERE!!!!!! (Hopefully) Thought I would wait till you were already gone so I wouldn’t jinx it ;P Cant wait to hear about it when you get back. Ill compare notes to see what I should do next time ^.^

RESIDENT EVIL IS OUT!?!?! How do I not get informed of these updates anymore. I never followed these things but would just find out somehow, and I am no longer finding out somehow. My powers of receiving news coincidently is fading.
Ill watch it before you get back haha.

Yeah you cant really ‘try’ not to be motion sickness cause I honestly think placebo is a big part. You got to just not really think about it which is a lot easier said than done.

Yeah I am still in my anime rut… only up to date on Bleach. Have seen some Jujutsu Kaisen and Zom 100 but am still behind on both. JJK I see so many comparisons between Gojo and Makima with them being ‘dead’ and then getting up with crazy eyes :D I think I am at the end of the prequel and back in present.
Zom 100 I like the personality of the mc a lot. Definitely the best part of the show is his attitude to the outbreak. Besides that is a very typical zombie series so far. Might try some other new series like Undead Murder Farce before I continue zom 100.
Dark Gathering I have honestly already kinda forgot the 2 episodes I saw. I remember the murder phone booth and I think he attracts spirits and she kills them? Idk, Ill probably start it from the start again when I break my out of my fatigue.
The hiatus 100% hurt Nier which is very frustrating since it is on the better end of game adaptations. One difference they made was that Eve died first and Adam turned resident evil final boss… when originally Adam was the one that died when 2B was rescuing 9S and it was Eve that went psycho. I wonder why they did that. My girl A2 is way more important in the second half so I cant wait for her to get some spot light :)

Yeah idk how Witcher will survive without Henry. And we just got introduced to Milva too who is one of my favourite characters. I remember seeing her as a playing card in gwent, and then when I met her in the books I assumed she would be a minor side character like Zoltan. But she is in it more than Yennefer in some stages of the story. But I don’t see Witcher lasting very long without Henry tbh, even with him it has been on the decline.
Bonhart is a pretty brutal villain aswell, interested to see how Netflix will handle him.

I could probably make a decent list for both sides of anime or manga being better. When I just look at my top 10 manga on my profile page, 8 of them have anime adaptations and the manga is better for all. Chainsaw man I will reserve judgement until its done cause the anime could be better. But the second half is where it gets real good so currently I still like the manga more but just cause it has more content.
Btw the list you mentioned about having watched and read a series…. Literally every single one of those is a shounen which I agree the anime is better xD

So about manga fatigue, yes I do. Which is why I haven’t read a new series since Japan. I still read all my updates but 1 or 2 chapters a day takes like 10 mins or so depending on the series. So I have slowed WAYYYYY down… I haven’t started a new manga since March.

How did Masamune-kun go? I noticed you didn’t drop it, does that mean it improved?
I still haven’t started Mushoku or Bungou Stray Dogs. Bungou I really want to and definitely will. Ill probably catch up with this next. Mushoku I think it is at the stage where it lost me a bit. You at the university with Sylphie? This is where the manga kinda killed it for me cause I have been at this magic uni for YEARS!!!!!! Its not bad, I remember liking the magic uni arc in Magi: Kingdom of Magic. But I have been reading 1 chapter a month for like 3 years and I am so sick of Sylphie and this god damn university. Sylphie is worst girl out of the love interests (Eris and Roxy are way better), and while the magic uni arc is fine since its been so long it feels like the story is progressing soooooo slooooowwwwwwwwlllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy. Monthly manga can really suck.

I kinda stopped watching Secret Invasion, I saw all the means about the last episode and lost interest >.> This fatigue is REALLY hitting me. I wonder if Ahsoka will be able to save me.

Baldur's Gate 3 is saving me from game fatigue. I had kinda stopped playing games until BG3 and now I have been addicted. Such a good game, I am loving it! You seen anything about it or thinking of playing it?

We both have the secret to the krabby patty secret formula… they are just 2 different formula. You wanna know how to get over motion sickness, I wanna know how to get over anime/tv fatigue.
I don’t know how I got over motion sickness, I had to catch the train everyday to school and university and eventually you get bored enough you have to not be motion sick unless you just wanna sleep haha.
How did you get out of your phase, how did you ‘heal’. Right now I have only started Bleach this season. Only Bleach. The only other show I am DEFINITELY going to watch is Link Click season 2. That show ended on one of the worst cliff hangers ever and I am so keen to continue it.
Jujutsu Kaisen, Bungou, Mushoku Tensei, Zom 1100 and Undead Murder Farce are ones I want to watch if I can escape this phase of not wanting to watch anything. I will consider others if you recommend and I can get in the groove again.
Not just anime either, I haven’t watched secret invasion since we last watched. I am just doing other stuff.
In the last 2 weeks I have gotten my motor bike license, boat license and gone sky diving haha. Right now I am just looking for other stuff to do.

I haven’t read world trigger in a while actually, its one I am intentionally leaving to just read all at once when its done. Monthly ones can just be too annoying keeping up with what is going on. I feel like I haven’t read that in years and I bet I am not even that far behind you.

Witcher I am up to date on. What are your thoughts? Now that I have read all the books I can be one of those pretentious nobles and tell you everything that its doing wrong…. I wont, but I could ;P I couldn’t actually even spoil what happens next cause the events are so different haha.
Rip Liam, I don’t see any possibility of him taking over going well. He is just being set up for failure.

“I think it comes down to someone liking to read more than watch”

Hmmmm I gotta disagree with this one too buddy. I prefer watching, I really do. But I have seen way more bad anime than I have read bad manga. Having the freedom to go at your speed just makes shit parts in anime tolerable. I am sure I wouldn’t have given up on Black Clover initially if I had read it cause I coulda just skimmed over the slow start.
Surely you have more than 4 exceptions, they are just the REALLY big ones.
We do agree though at their best anime is better.
Almost everything I read are long running series. So the amount we have is pretty similar, but yeah most of mine have TONNES of volumes…. And are probably still publishing.

I agree with Log Horizon… I would honestly still probably watch Highschool DxD. I am too much of an Akeno simp not to watch it just for her ;)
Magus Bride is another I haven’t decided on yet. I was totally lost this whole season and kinda wasn’t paying much attention. That is on me though, so either I would start this one from the start again or stop.
Masamune Revenge is one I watched too and wasn’t a fan so I am not continuing that either. You going through with the whole season?
How is AI no Idenshi? That is one I would consider if it is worth it.
Eminence is another that would be a DEFINITE watch for me, so I am disappointed to find out it isn’t actually this season :(
Give me your current rundown. What should I be watching out for…. CURE ME OF MY FATIGUE!!!!

I am rewatching Higurashi right now with the intent of watching Steins;Gate probably next. If I am watching stuff now I am definitely in the mood for those really good shows with great rewatch value.

Like I mentioned earlier I haven’t seen any more secret invasion sorry :/ hopefully Ill catch up by your next comment so feel free to talk as if I have seen it.
I am not saying the Hill that was shot was a skrull. What I mean is I wouldn’t be surprised if she survived the shot and they just playing it off like she died.
Any avenger without powers themselves I would suspect as a skrull, so Rhodes would not surprise me at all. He seems like the exact character to be one. Not main enough to matter to much but more than a side haha.

Serial Experiments Lane is one I remember liking when I watched, but I honestly don’t remember anything about it. You gave it a 4, I think I gave it like a 7…. But we would both have equal knowledge going in a second time xD There are a few series like that, even though I liked them could not tell you a single thing haha.

I will definitely be playing Spider Man 2, and I am currently playing Final Fantasy 16. Besides that there really isn’t a lot, seems like a quiet year :( There are some I have my eye on and I am sure Ill pick up some I don’t know about yet but still not much compared to what I am usually looking forward to.

I get motion sickness on boats but that is about it. I used to cars and planes but I seem to have gotten over that.
You don’t read on your phone at all? This is surprising, I too prefer reading an actual book. That’s why I buy my favourite series for when I may want to reread them in the future (like I did with Bleach). While that’s my preference its unrealistic to only be able to read that way outside of Japan, so I make do with reading on my phone.
I have enough weekly chapters now that I get at least 2 chapters of something a day ^.^ Maybe I do read a lot hehe. Still haven’t started anything new since Japan though, but that’s cause Idk what to start.

Have you spoiled Heavenly Delusion you heathen? Those last episodes surprised me greatly… noy Robin being an asshole. I half expected that, but not that he would ACTUALLY rape her. Someone always saves them at the end…. But not this time!?!?! Colour me shocked. And wtf was he making. I am still so curious and cant wait for another season which I think I heard rumours about. I want to read it but I think this is one I would prefer watching. So unless another season stands no chance I will wait.
Also it definitely seems like you are right with the school kids being from a different time. I was guessing that they are the original man eatersthat will eventually transform after escaping the facility.
I was gonna watch the first episode of witcher tonight after sending this message :)

I would argue with anime vs manga is quality vs quantity. A good anime is better than a good manga, but there are far more good manga compared to good anime. Anime tend to cut corners with animation, or filler, or bad pacing. Whereas manga has a better track record for good art and you can just skim over filler or bad pacing haha. Fights are 100% better in anime and that’s why I rarely read shounen.

You can have your best character die early and the show still be great. Like losing Kamina in episode 8 of Gurren Lagann. But there is a difference between dying a third of the way in… and dying in the god damn first episode. Nup, killing her off that quick killed the series for me. I even gave the manga another chance, I read up to date (where it is taking a break lol) and I still feel no love for it.
My friend and I have been seeing a bunch of memes we find hilarious though. About Aqua and Ruby having an incest baby that ends up being Ai reincarnated. That would be hilarious and make me start reading again xD

Yup, that character type is just Bakugo now, no questions asked.
I haven’t watched the last episode yet, was going to on the weekend but Hells Paradise has been great. Glad the ninja girl been getting more screen time ^.^
So Hild was never even in season 2. Farmland lasted so much longer than I thought… and I thought for sure I was exaggerating and it would actually be shorter haha. Im all for good character development… but something else has to be going on. This retribution arc for thorfinn is fine but did not need to be this long in my opinion. Going back to gurren lagan Simon’s depression after losing Kamina lasted like 2 episodes. Thorfinn’s didn’t have to be that short but I did not have the patience for how long it was.
My days of watching everything are over, my tolerance has dramatically decreased >.> 24 episodes of slow redeption is too long. And just from this season Mashle and Dead Mount were kinda misses and while I didn’t hate them I probably wont bother with season 2. They were worth a try and I liked certain parts like we discussed previously. But I didn’t like it enough warrant watching another season.
I used to keep up to date with 10+ shows a season. This season the only shows I really kept up with were Heavenly Delusion and Hells Paradise... and I still gotta watch the finale of the latter.

I read Oshi and Vinland and am missing nothing. From the the end of last year alone Bleach, Chainsaw Man, Bocchi the Rock and Mob Psycho and wayyyyyyyyyyy better >.< And if Demon Slayer keeps winning best fantasy you know the anime awards mean nothing.
Speaking of Bleach that is the only one I am really looking forward to this season. Mushoku Tensei is still good but it started going downhill after Eris leaves. I wont skip it like I did Vinland, but IMO last season was the peak. Jujutsu I enjoy but I put it in the same realm as Demon Slayer. And I still haven’t even finished Demon Slayer season 3 hehe.
Besides bleach the main one I have my eyes on is Zom 100 and that’s only cause its another Gigguk made a video on like 2 years ago that I always planned on reading but then heard it was getting an anime and decided to wait.

I have seen both Secret Invasion episodes, been alright. I didn’t expect Hill to die, I expected her to be a skrull. Still wouldn’t be surprised if she is alive not gonna lie.

EDIT: Wanted to add 2 things, first off I forgot Eminence of Shadow Season 2 is this season, that is another one I am very much looking forward to.
And I just saw an image but Heavenly Delusion that I initially did not make a connection to at all.

I am already finding stuff out that I missed while watching. I rewatched Summertime Rendering recently to see stuff I didnt realise at the time and I am already having that urge with Heavenly Delusion cause I am wondering what else went over my head
