I love Gokushufudou.

But, I gotta be honest, I was real disappointed with the animation.
I'll admit that I did get used to the animation, but it is a far cry from what I'm sure many manga fans hoped and wanted (me included).

I feel like if you *want* to enjoy this "anime," you can't treat it like an anime. You'd have to treat it like a motion-manga. Which is really unfortunate, because I would have loved to see Gokushufudou as a full fledged anime.

Lingering grips about the animation aside, music and comedic timing still hit.
Best part of this "anime" is the voice acting - hands down. Kenjirou ... Tsuda is the first person I thought of when I was thinking of who could voice Tatsu, and he certainly shows why. Honestly, I was really here just to hear the lines voice acted. A real shame that the voices are so good, because I can only imagine what this "anime" could have been.

In short, the voice acting is top tier and the animation is.. less than stellar.
Had a fun time revisiting the content with the stellar voice acting, but you could get a better experience from the manga.

LET'S GO! IT'S BACK!! CUTE GIRLS DOING CUTE THINGS: FISHING EDITION!
(Context: Was postponed due to Covid-19)

Do you like your cute slice of life shows?
Do you like fishing?
If yes, this is the show for you!

From prepping the rod, tying knots, casting the line, and putting down the fish, Houkago Teibou Nisshi is a cute slice of life that covers all aspects of fishing. As someone who has gone fishing many times, I can say there are some real relatable moments from when I first started.

Doga Kobo does another fantastic job animating this anime. The art and animation do their job and do it well. If there's ... anything I wanna make note of, it's those reflections at the beginning of episode 4.

The characters have nice fun personalities, and they bounce off each other really well. I love seeing our four mains interact with each other in this anime. It's got a real nice natural feel to it.

The music is great too. A nice OP and a nice calming OST go a long way for a cozy fishing anime. AND I JAM WITH THAT ED.

Overall, it's a show I really enjoy, so if cute girls doing cute things and fishing float your boat, then I wholehearted recommend this show!

After watching the movie, I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you liked Season 1, hope you're ready for some new content in "Loli Hitler VS The Commies."

The movie gives more development to Tanya and tackles the next page in Tanya's story, as well as giving us new insight into the character properly introduced at the end of Season 1: Mary Sue, daughter of Anson Sioux. The illusion that there is always a "right" side is easily destroyed once again. War is complex, and this movie exemplifies it. Not to mention the irony of going to war in order to attain peace.

Studio NUT ... makes great use of the movie budget, and the resulting aerial battles look amazing. The fights are crisp, clean, and full of action, while the shot composition during lengthy conversations is great as always. Due to the scale of the battles, however, there are some CG crowds. But, they're just a few one-off scenes, so there aren't too many of them.

The musical score for this movie is also great! The violins, trumpets, and choir of Tanya von Degurechaff's bombastic theme make a return. Though the OST of the movie is similar to the OST of Season 1, the themes and motifs easily proved themselves in this movie. The familiar ED "Los! Los! Los!" also makes a return, and with the gunshot, sounds of warfare, and new art, it doesn't lose its luster.

Also, MYTH & ROID does not disappoint with their song "Remembrance." Definitely, a more somber piece that fits the loss and agony of war.

Overall, this movie is more of the Youjo Senki that we know and love, and definitely worth the watch.
