The first really new anime for this season that I liked is #BartenderGlassOfGod. I’m not sure yet if it will get competitive somehow, I might prefer if it’s more laid back and just makes you feel like a nice evening in a calm bar. Either way I liked the first episode and how it transports the joy of having a good drink.
I found out by searching it on MAL that it’s a remake of an anime from 2006 that I didn’t know existed, and based on a manga with 21 volumes. Didn’t feel outdated at all (they must have added the smartphone stuff).
Watching season 3 of #YuruCamp is a no-brainer for me. It’s just nice like meeting some friends you haven’t seen in a while. After going to Japan recently I’m also realizing more strongly how many realistic details there are with the locations they go to.
Nothing more to say here.
I’m watching the new season of #ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime because I watched the previous ones and follow the LN. Sometimes I wonder why I still read it but the world is quite interesting and there are a lot of details there, as well as a lot of characters where it’s easy to find a few to like.
For the anime l’m mostly fascinated that it’s so popular despite being mostly about Rimuru handling politics and economics. And it looks great, everything is so lively. I’m looking forward to the upcoming arc.
My husband said the manga is so great, but I had enough of #ReMonster after half of the first episode. It turns out to be just another isekai with a male lead who levels like crazy and will probably be overpowered within a few episodes.
But more importantly, I can’t support a show with a main character who just shrugs seeing human women who were captured to bear children, beats his fellow goblin to teach him manners and is just like “whoops I didn’t dose it well” after poisoning (presumably killing) one of his brethren… and the show doesn’t show signs of condemning him for it.
We watched the first episode of #Frieren and it‘s really something different. That calm atmosphere and the depiction of how time mercilessly passes are really heartfelt. Skipping through time in those big jumps also helps to get the viewer to take Frieren‘s perspective. I hope the pacing won’t suddenly become more hectic.
If there’s anything I can’t quite digest it’s the use of German words for names. They are not badly chosen, but words that are so common that I can’t really associate them with names. Especially since we watch with German subs 😅
First show from #animeFall2023 I watched was #ShangriLaFrontier (first episode) and I could definitely have done worse.
Still, since I’m not personally a gamer, I can’t really relate to the MC.
I’m still waiting for something interesting here beyond that guy being quite happy about the good quality and leveling quickly. Just nice animation (and I admit it’s very nice) is not going to keep me invested. I’m also dreading a running gag of that girl never managing to actually talk to him or something like that.
4 episodes in I still quite enjoy #TheGreatCleric. It shows that even a rather basic Isekai premise can be made into a good story if it takes the setting seriously and doesn’t put in all the annoying tropes.
I’m incredibly thankful that the main character got only a few basic skills and really has to train to get better - I really don’t get why this is so rare.
And while I initially found it a bit off-putting, I’ve grown to like the less polished style with all the angular faces. The goofy scenes are clearly also to save money for elaborate, detailed drawings and animation but it works for me.
