#DeadMountDeathPlay which wasn't bad, I didn't really love any of the characters they were all fine but the plot was intriguing if a bit convaluted and awkward to follow. It was fun but lacked that extra bite to make it great #anime
Watched Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective and I do love a detective show. It has fun characters some hot boys, interesting cases and bigger plot and mystery. Not top tier detectives but worth the watch as it's engaging and entertaining #RonKamonohashiDerangedDetective #kamonohashironnokindansuiri #anime
Finished the season season of #JujutsuKaisen and it was a thing of beauty. It was brutal and exciting with great action, animation and so many emotions and heart break. What a world and story. #jjk #anime
Finished season 3 of Doctor Stone which was great. I love this show and it's characters and this season doesn't disappoint. It is getting more absurd but I'm so here for the journey.
Watched Dark Gathering and really wanted to live it. Good concept but just fell flat. Some great law and designs but the escalating violence and edginess only serves to distract that the characters are bland and don't hold the story up.
Watched The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You and it really shouldn't be as good as it is. It's absurd but fun and has likable characters and just somehow works despite being a genre I generally avoid.
Watched #Helck and was a little disappointed by how generic it was and a bit bland. Got better with the flashbacks but the ending was a fizzle and not really inspired to continue the story
Bonus vampire anime I enjoy!
Tis the season of Horror so here are some of my fav Vampire Anime (its always vampire season for me really). I've just finished #CastlevaniaNocturne and rewatching the amazing #Castlevania so looking back at my favs
Anime Spotlight - Ya Boy Kongming
This has to be one of the most upbeat and feel good animes I've watched in a while.
The plot is Zhuge Kongming earned a reputation as one of the greatest tacticians of the Three Kingdoms period of third-century China. Having led his army through countless grueling victories, Kongming falls gravely ill during the Battle of Wuzhang Plains. The weariness and regret stemming from the seemingly never-ending war catch up to him, and as he draws his final breath, Kongming wishes that if he were to reincarnate, he would be reborn in a more peaceful era.
His wish comes true, and Kongming wakes up in modern-day Tokyo with a younger body and his memories intact. Thrust into an unfamiliar world, he finds his way into a nightclub and meets Eiko Tsukimi, an aspiring singer whose performance immediately captivates him. Pitying his confusion, Eiko takes Kongming under her wing and teaches him about the current world, which leads to Kongming's interest in contemporary music. Seeing Eiko's immense musical potential, Kongming vows to make the world recognize her and soon takes on the role of her manager.
Unsurprisingly, the music industry is unforgiving to those who make even the slightest mistakes. Still, Kongming is determined to accomplish his goals—even if he must utilize the war stratagems he famously used in his previous life!
This series is just bright and fun with a lovely spirit and wonderful characters. It looks great and has great music and just such a feel good vibe. Its touching and I love the tactician angle bringing a bit of history and a fun premise to watch playout.
Anime Spotlight - Futsal Boys!
Oh this is one of the most boring, generic and bland sports anime I've watched.
The plot is
Haru Yamato was never interested in futsal ever since the sport gained international fame 10 years ago. However, a chance to watch Japanese futsal player Tokinari Tennoji compete at the U-18 World Cup completely changed his perspective. When given the opportunity on his first day at Koyo Gakuen High School, Haru enthusiastically joins the futsal club.
There, he meets a variety of talented players including captain Toi Tsukioka, who was a part of the same U-18 team as Tennoji. Despite having a dynamic roster, the Koyo Futsal Club has a long way ahead when it comes to assembling a team that can stand up to powerhouse opponents—especially for Haru, who is a total beginner to the sport!
There are so many good sports anime that this just pales in comaprison, even the pretty boys could get me into it and I couldn't even be bothered to ship it despite the fujoshi baiting.
Anime Spotlight - exception
There's an interesting idea in here but I just don't gel with cgi anime and the series is rather dull and the characters one dimensional.
The is In the distant future, human beings have been forced to leave earth and migrate to another galaxy. An advanced team of spacecraft arrives at a planet that is to be terraformed. Each member of the team is output by a biological 3D printer.
I like the sci fi concept behind this, 3D printing is a unique spin but damn this series is dull and nothing that hasn't been done before with a team on a long haul space mission that does wrong. The animation is awful and you dont feel invested in the characters. The poster art is the most interesting thing about the series!
Anime Spotlight - Appare Ranman!
This is a fun, colourful and entertaining anime, it has good characters, a fun premise that gives you Wacky Racers vibes.
No dream is too big for Appare Sorrano, a socially-awkward inventor living in a small rural town in Japan in the late 19th century. Fascinated since childhood by the creation of steamships that can connect people across great distances, he's learned to make machines of all kinds from various scientific texts. His goal is to sail across the sea, beyond the sky, and ultimately, to the other side of the moon.
Unfortunately, through a string of events, Appare finds himself stranded in the middle of the sea on his mini steamship. Floating alongside him is a skilled but cowardly samurai, Kosame Ishikki, who was tasked to keep his eccentric behavior in check. Just when all hope seems lost, a large steamship saves them and takes them to Los Angeles. With no money or plans, they decide to participate in the "Trans-America Wild Race," which gives Appare the chance to build his own automobile, and Kosame the opportunity to use the cash prize to return home. However, against rival racers and unknown challenges residing in the wilderness, just how far will this adventure take Appare and Kosame?
This is just a fun series, nothing mind blowing as its easy watching. It has some nice character development and they are likeable. Its got a lot of energy and a feel good vibe for those of us that are a bit socially awkward.
Anime Spotlight - Chainsaw Man
As a fan of the manga I was looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint, that opening alone is a thing of beauty. I love flawed characters in a harsh world and this series is just so good.
The plot is
Denji is robbed of a normal teenage life, left with nothing but his deadbeat father's overwhelming debt. His only companion is his pet, the chainsaw devil Pochita, with whom he slays devils for money that inevitably ends up in the yakuza's pockets. All Denji can do is dream of a good, simple life: one with delicious food and a beautiful girlfriend by his side. But an act of greedy betrayal by the yakuza leads to Denji's brutal, untimely death, crushing all hope of him ever achieving happiness.
Remarkably, an old contract allows Pochita to merge with the deceased Denji and bestow devil powers on him, changing him into a hybrid able to transform his body parts into chainsaws. Because Denji's new abilities pose a significant risk to society, the Public Safety Bureau's elite devil hunter Makima takes him in, letting him live as long as he obeys her command. Guided by the promise of a content life alongside an attractive woman, Denji devotes everything and fights with all his might to make his naive dreams a reality.
The characters are all unique, flawed, messed up and a lot of fun to watch. The demons have great designs and are horrific and creepy. The hotel demon for one just freaked me out (though will admit it looked better in the manga) and the raw emotion is there. Its a well fleshed out world and lore full of intrigue and violence. Gritty, dark, violent and often hopeless yet there is passion and drive behind the characters. I looked forward to future series
Anime Spotlight - Fanfare of Adolescence
I wanted to like this anime as its cute boys doing sports and having lots of shipping potential but damn was it boring and bland. The opening is great though far too good a song for such a dull series.
The plot is becoming inspired after witnessing a derby, 15-year-old idol Yuu shocks the entire nation when he leaves the entertainment industry to enroll in a prestigious horse racing school. Excited to pursue his latest passion, he gradually bonds with his new classmates—such as the talented Shun Kazanami and the self-assured Amane Grace—who are each unique in their own way. Although the path ahead may be full of obstacles, Yuu is determined to pursue his ultimate goal of becoming one with his horse.
So I'm not a big idol anime fan and hate the troupe of "I'm giving up being an idol to do a sport" but at least he takes some time to be good at it rather than just being good despite starting later than the other jockeys. Its all very nice and the characters aren't very interesting and the fujoshi baiting is blatant but the boys aren't interesting enough for me to care. It looks pretty but just doesn't have enough passion or ego to make a good sports anime.
Just found this fan requested art by Oda and it's my new happy place!!!God I want to cosplay Doflamingo so bad!!!
Sorry for the absence!
I’ve not posted in a while because I had a baby, balancing the new life with keeping up with my sicial media is not always easy. On the plus side maternity leave has given me the time to binge watch a lot of anime so when I do post there will be lots!
Thanks for the patience!
