Seiken Densetsu: Legend of Mana - The Teardrop Crystal

MBS's late night anime programming block which currently airs on Saturdays from 1:55-2:55.

A selection of 21st-century anime based on source material that pre-dates it by at least twenty years. This includes old-school manga, novels, and video games. Great for those who love retro media ad enjoy seeing classic content dusted off and revived for a new generation of fans to enjoy.

1 game = 1 anime



Updates coming...

List of little lesser known anime closely based on or directly adapting video games, not including any visual novels or gacha. Mostly focused on JRPGs. In the case of video games with many anime, not all will be listed but will be mentioned in the notes. (In Progress)

The YouTube channel Mother's Basement has released a number of "Worst Anime of <year>" videos wherein the host roasts (and often demolishes) the worst anime of the subject year. This interest stack is a compilation of those anime from the years 2018 thru 2022.

As formatting and links are frowned upon in interest stacks, you can find the actual review videos in my corresponding blog post. You can also just search YouTube.

Shows are listed in historical order. The year is noted and if appropriate or helpful or amusing, one or more selected quotes from the review are included as well. [I will also interject when the need/desire arises. -ed.]

2018 through 2021 are presented as a list of five worst of the year 1 (worst) > 5 (least worst)

2022 is presented as an "awards" show - not the kind of award to hope for.

I only use these reviews to help eliminate, or at least decrease the priority of, shows on my watchlist. Sadly, I'd already watched a number of these shows before I saw the reviews. I offer this stack in the hopes that some of you may spend more time watching entertaining shows by avoiding some real stinkers. Or if you enjoyed some of these, more power to you.

Anime that feature the classic fantasy being known as the dwarf.

I watched all of these anime during Fall 2022

Top anime (in my opinion)

New in fall 2022: BLUE LOCK is a story about looking for the best and most "selfish" striker through the "blue lock" program, interesting because there has never been a story about football that I think really affects the mentality of the players, and most of football is related to teamwork.

For CHAINSAWMAN the animation is good for the hand movements, faces and small details, the camera angles, the soundtrack is also perfect, but for some reason the action feels lacking and a bit stiff, the plot is a bit slow

Sequel:
Top 1 BLEACH TYBW ARC, for anime lovers, you definitely know what this is about, even if you don't follow the series, because of the epic comeback after 10 years, try watching the 1st episode, it's really cool, even though I marathoned the previous series, the old anime continued until the manga ended. "wow" impression, especially if the seiyuu is still the same, the animation is really good, it feels like watching a movie, the best animation this year
Top 2 BOKU NO HERO SEASON 6 is also good and has an exciting arc

Completed:
Top 1 ROMANTIC KILLER, I like the romcom plot, the slice of life conflict is good, I also like the FL character, even though it won't air until fall 2022 but it's already complete because of Netflix's release, I really hope there's an S2

Top 2 BLEACH is also good because the 2022 series, the new arc is really good, I spent most of my time on this 366 eps anime marathon for 36 days, For the old anime, the animation is already good, the storyline is also very funny, the soundtrack is cool, especially the insert song called "number" one", but the downside is that it likes a lot of repeated scenes, typical of old anime, 1 ep 24 min to 15 min and quite a lot of filler eps, 45℅ out of 366 eps, typical of anime with a lot of eps, even though 150 eps is enough for adapting 54 volumes of the manga, but overall it's good

Favorite normal arc: Arrancar Downfall arc (eps 266-310)
Favorite filler arc: Zanpakuto Unknown Tales arc (eps 230-265)

Movie:
Top 1 ONE PIECE MOVIE 14 STAMPEDE lots of OP fans said this movie 14 was good, so I tried watching it, even though I didn't follow the series but I can say that movie 14 is interesting and actually better than the latest Red movie, lots of action and animation Good

Top 2 BLEACH MOVIE 4 Hellverse is also interesting because it is connected to hell

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating
