Anime I Watched This Fall
My first semester of college is officially over and the December holidays are upon us! I hoped to make one of these posts sooner, but I have been incredibly busy with schoolwork. Now that things have slowed down, let’s take sometime to reflect on things I’ve watched.
These anime are listed in chronological order and encompass everything I’ve watched from 9/1/2020 - 12/15/2020
Like always, they will be rated on a 1-10 scale; 1 meaning complete garbage, 10 meaning masterpiece. I will offer my thoughts on what I did/didn’t like about each show!
1. The God of High School - 6/10
Despite the stellar animation from MAPPA and my high expectations, I was really disappointed by how this series was treated. Most of the story’s crucial elements were handled poorly. I finished this series feeling more confused about the plot than when I first began. The power system is really cool, but poorly explained. More time should have been spent on exposition and world building for this series, instead the fights were given the most screen time.
2. Doukyuusei - 7/10
I really liked the style of Doukyuusei. Granted, this was another movie I chose to watch primarily because of the hype surrounding it. The dynamic between Kusakabe and Sajou is an interesting one, and I also enjoy how the movies different acts were separated by the seasons. However, there's nothing that really sets Doukyuusei apart from other romance movies, its a little generic. Still, I enjoyed it nonetheless.
3. Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu 2nd Season - 8/10
My opinions on Re:Zero’s second season are biased. This was, by far, the sequel I was most hyped for during the summer/fall anime season. I was so happy to see the story’s continuation and I’m looking forward to the season’s second part coming sometime in January. Re:Zero is one of my all time favorite series because of the way it handles it characters and power dynamics. I also really enjoy the show’s psychological aspects. If you haven’t already, give Re:Zero a try!
4. Saint☆Oniisan (Movie + OVA) - 8/10
This was a wonderful comedy. I wasn’t sure how the subject of Jesus and Buddha living together would be tackled, but it was handled wonderfully. I was laughing for pretty much the entire movie. I love the art style and little references to both Buddhism and Christianity, plus the incorporation of Japanese culture. Saint Oniisan is a bright comedy, with two eccentric main characters. If you like a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and need a good laugh, I can’t recommend this more.
5. Clannad: After Story - 10/10
Never, while watching anime, did I cry as much as I did while watching Clannad: After Story. I didn’t realize how much I related to Okazaki until I saw him grow up in After Story. I was left sobbing, especially after episode 18. I still, to this day, cannot listen to the Dango song without tearing up. The original Clannad is nothing special, but the continuation of its story its something heartfelt, emotional, and down-to-earth. I love Kyoto Animation with all my heart, and Clannad made me appreciate everything the studio has done just a little bit more. Thank you Clannad, for reminding me about the kind of person I strive to be.
6. Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu - 5.5/10
The art in A Whisker Away was beautiful. The story itself, however, is nothing too enjoyable. I found it difficult to like our protagonist or her love interest. Nothing about this movie is inherently memorable. The emotional climax came far too early which made the second half of the film seem long and drawn out. All in all, the movie has a wonderful concept, I just believe it could have been so much more emotional than it was. When I watch a move, I like to empathize with the characters. It’s difficult to do when the characters aren’t given the proper exposition to be empathized with.
7. Shikioriori - 6/10
This is less of a movie and more of a collection of short stories. Flavors of Youth is something you shouldn’t watch on an empty stomach, all of the food looks incredible. The same cannot beside for the rest of this feature. The stories themselves seems heavily clichéd. Much like A Whisker Away, the initial premise is intriguing, but the execution results in something that comes across as trying too hard and carries no emotional weight with the viewer. If you plan on watching, pay more attention to the artwork and animation than the actual plot. You won’t be missing anything.
8. Vinland Saga - 7/10
Vinland Saga helped me get out of the rut that Clannad: After Story. Not only does this show have a great story, its action packed with lots of interesting fights. I especially enjoyed all the Nordic history embedded within the show. Its really unlike any of the other historical anime I’ve watched. I will say, it’s gory. But, compared to all the other things I watched this time around, I finished this series the quickest. Its good, its graphic, its fast paced!
9. Mononoke Hime - 7/10
It’s ironic considering how much anime I’ve watched that I have yet to watch all of the most classic Studio Ghibli films. Princess Mononoke is grittier than most other Ghibli films I’ve seen, but it’s message is positive and its characters are wonderful. I can’t really speak ill towards classics like these. I guess maybe my one complaint is that this movie could’ve been a faster pace. Other than that... I really enjoyed everything Princess Mononoke offered! I understand why it’s so popular.
10. Howl no Ugoku Shiro - 8.5/10
Can you believe it took me this long to finally watch Howl’s Moving Castle? Me neither!! This movie is so endearingly beautiful. I loved every second of it, from the characters to the soundtrack. So many iconic things come from just this one movie. I would like to take this time to thank my best friend for reminding me that Studio Ghibli films are wonderful! Thank you for watching this with me, I loved it! All in all, I regret not watching this sooner!
11. Toradora! - 6.5/10
Toradora took me a while to finish, just because I lost interest about halfway through. But, I powered through it, and ended up really enjoying the show! I’m not the biggest fan of the ending, but that’s just a personal preference. Somehow, this show also made me cry? I’m not entirely sure why because Toradora! is probably the thing farthest from sad. Apart from the show’s dull slice of life moments, it was super cute! A much needed light-hearted romance.
12. New Initial D Movie: Legend 1 - 5/10
Full disclosure, this is the only thing related to Initial D that I’ve ever watched. My band and I watched this expecting to hear some of that iconic Initial D music, itself all we got was a mildly confusing story about different types of cars. It was cliché and frankly a little boring. Although, I am still considering watching the original Initial D just so I can hear the music in the way it was original intended. I’ve got no other opinions on this movie. It’s best not to watch these movies without the context from the rest of the franchise.
13. Uchuu Patrol Luluco - 7.5/10
I didn’t really understand why people enjoy studio Trigger so much until I watched Space Patrol Luluco. I loved all the fun references to other studio Trigger works. I loved the humor, and I loved all the bright colors. The animation was extremely high energy, and the art style fits the show’s premise. Each episode was only 12 minutes long so it was a super quick binge. If you’re looking for something quick, light-hearted and comical, this is the perfect show to watch.
14. Orange - 7/10
I owe a big thanks to a tumblr mutual for recommending this show to me! This holds the honor of making me cry by episode 3! I honestly did not expect the subject matter of this show to be as dark as it was. Usually when I see the genre ‘shoujo’ I do not associate it with a love story like that of Orange. The heavy subject matter made it a little too close to home for me, but I still really enjoyed this series. It reminds me off all the good times I had with my friends in high school, and of all the regrets I carry with myself to this day.
15. 3-gatsu no Lion - 7.5/10
March Comes in Like a Lion is another show that was a bit of a slow burn for me. Each episode left me feeling emotionally drained, so I had to take a lot of breaks while I was working on watching this series. Shaft, the studio behind this anime, holds a special place in my heart because I loved their work on the Monogatari Series. March Comes in Like a Lion is a little different. It’s driving force it is characters, and it was cathartic to watch our main character transform through the entire duration of the first season. I know the show’s second season is much better, so I’ll be starting that soon!
16. Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei - 8/10
I loved how artsy and smart The Tatami Galaxy is, but honestly I couldn’t watch too much at once cause it would hurt my head. I also couldn’t watch this show while I was tired because the speaking rate is much faster than typical anime. The Tatami Galaxy is so unique for its medium. I loved the different time loops and the crazy animation. The characters were fascinating. The dialogue, although very fast, it also fantastic. There’s an element of humor to this unique story telling, and I enjoyed ever minute of it!
Currently Watching:
Hunter x Hunter - 6.5/10 (As of Episode 30)
I pride myself in having watched a lot of shounen anime, but I was reluctant to start Hunter x Hunter for years because I thought I would find it boring. I was oh so very wrong. Considering great shows like Naruto and Fairy Tail that fall under the same category, I expected Hunter x Hunter to be subpar in comparison. It gets a low score for two reasons. One, the power system was introduced a little too late and now I’m wondering if all the fights post episode 30 will involved nen in some way, shape, or form. Two, its still on hiatus.
Two Cursed Additions For This List
Please to do not let these be representative of my anime taste.
1. Yarichin☆B*tch-bu - 4/10
I am a CLOWN for not knowing this was 18+. The only reason I watched this was to see why everyone was talking about the pink-haired boy with the glasses and tongue piecing. I know why now, and I regret it. This was a massive mistake on my part. But hey, at the least the art and ending song kinda slap?
2. Euphoria (Dropped After 1 Episode) - 2/10
If you know what I’m talking about when I say Euphoria, I am so sorry. And no, I am not talking about the HBO series. Seriously, don’t google this. Don’t watch this. Don’t interact with anything related to this. You’re probably wondering, “Then why did you watch it?” I did not watch this willingly. You see, I have a very bad habit of starting anime and then taking months to finish them. I made an ultimatum with a friend, lost, and then was forced to watch this a punishment. Not a fun experience. I’m very glad there are no GIFs of this on tumblr...

Parallel World Heroes Throw Down in ISEKAI QUARTET: the Movie PV
A climactic new theatrical trailer has been published for ISEKAI QUARTET the Movie: Another World, an upcoming theatrical anime film that continues the mixed up, mashed up adventures of a boatload of KADOKAWA-published isekai light novel series such as The Rising of the Shield Hero, Overlord, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, and more.
The preview video (below) features the theme song from the film, entitled "Melodic Road Movie", which is performed by Konomi Suzuki featuring Kashitaro Ito.
RELATED: ISEKAI QUARTET Anime Film Reveals Theme Song Performers
Crunchyroll currently streams the first two seasons of the ISEKAI QUARTET TV anime, and describes the story of the series as follows:
The button appeared out of nowhere. There weren’t any signs NOT to push it…so the solution is obvious, right? Is it a trap or the start of something new and exciting? The crews of Re:Zero, Overlord, Konosuba, and The Saga of Tanya the Evil will find out when they go from their world to another and get stuck in…class?! See what adorable chaos they’ll get up to in this collection of shorts!
In ISEKAI QUARTET the Movie: Another World, the homeroom class gets sucked through a wormhole into - you guessed it! - another world where they encounter a desolate environment dominated by a rampaging magical automaton. There they meet a girl-type golem with mannerisms simllar to Megumin, a woman dressed in the same military uniform as Tanya, and a man with a cane who seems to know Subaru, and hijinks ensue.
RELATED: It's Isekai Inception in Isekai Quartet the Movie: Another World Trailer
ISEKAI QUARTET the Movie: Another World is written and directed by Minoru Ashina and features animation production by Studio Puyukai. The film is scheduled to hit theaters in Japan on June 10, 2022.

HBO Max New Releases: January 2021
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
It’s a new year and everyone wants to put the vile cesspool that was 2020 behind them. Thankfully, HBO Max is coming out swinging to make the transition out of the hellyear even easier. HBO Max’s list of new releases for January 2021 is positively packed with notable film releases and even a fun HBO Max Original or two.
For starters, Search Party season 4 will arrive to HBO Max on Jan. 14. This season of the show with a now-surprising lifespan finds Dory Sief in the thrall of a deranged stalker…right after getting off on murder charges. These Brooklynites lead such fascinating lives! The other major original or note is the HBO documentary Tiger, that premieres on Jan. 10 and will delve into the complicated history of golfing legend Tiger Woods.
The real story this month, however, are the movies. Perhaps emboldened by its success with Wonder Woman 1984, HBO Max is filling up its servers with as many Warner properties that it can find. The Dark Knight trilogy, Blade, Chinatown, The Exorcist, Mad Max: Fury Road, No Country for Old Men, and Pulp Fiction all arrive on Jan. 1. Poltergeist and Stephen King’s It (1990) make things spooky on Jan. 15. Then the month closes out with, quite simply, the greatest movie of all time: The Mummy (1999). The downside here is that some of these are limited engagements, with the aforementioned WW1984, Blade, Ocean’s Eleven, and more all leaving at month’s end.
Still, January 2021 will provide plenty of filmic fun on HBO Max. Here is the full list for your perusal.

The month also brings the film premiere of Locked Down starring Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor, the second special episode of the Emmy®-winning drama “Euphoria,” the season four return of the beloved “Search Party,” and the two-part documentary “Tiger,” which illuminates the rise, fall and epic comeback of global golf icon Tiger Woods.

January 4th 2019
This is less a diary entry and more of trying to collect my thoughts. So I’m watching anime again and I’ve been watching this anime called “Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World” or Re:Zero for short. Anyways, this anime is so unique and interesting. The problem is, is it enjoyable to watch. See I have my top 10 animes of all time.
1.) Mob Psycho (seasons 1 and 2)
2.) Anohana
3.) One Punch Man (season 1)
4.) Demon Slayer (season 1)
5.) No Game No Life (and the movie)
6.) Shokugeki no soma (season 1 and 2)
7.) Kill a Kill
8.) How not to summon a demon lord (season 1 and 2)
9.) Parasyte
10.) Attack on Titan (season 1 and 2)
I heard Attack on Titan other seasons are really good, but I haven’t gotten around to watch them yet. Anyways, I was thinking whether Re:Zero is up there. I already have two isekais (a genre that puts the main protagonist in a different world) in that list. No Game No Life is absolutely enjoyable because of the Sherlock like thinking and plus it’s all a game. How not to summon a demon lord is the other and it’s basically an ecchi (Lot’s of nude/ sexual stuff). Both are really funny and enjoyable. On the flip side, Anohana is probably the saddest, heart warming anime I have the pleasure of watching. The last few episodes ended me with tears. The last episode I was bawling. There is no other anime that will ever come close to that. One Punch Man season 1 was absolutely funny, hysterical, over the top and most of all just so good to watch. Mob Psycho was basically the mixture of both Anohana’s tear jerking message and One punch man’s clowniness. Re:Zero is Anohana but in isekai form. It is like Pixar in the way that a message is always at the center of the episode. Here is a weak guy who can’t do anything against a whole fucking world. IT’s so realistic and jarring (in a good way). Each episode I’m thinking, “How is Subaru going to fix this”? This is a main protagonist who is scared for his fucking life, who can’t fight back, who is a fuck up. Who is trying to do his best knowing that he can’t tell his secret or else he dies. The whole premise is so fucked up. The side characters are fucked up to an extent, but you understand why they are that way. Like this is a sad anime isekai, but the pay off when Subaru finds the way is so fucking satisfying. The anime is basically blue balling me (also REM best girl fuck Emilia). I just like man wtf. Is it better than Demon Slayer? Maybe? Is it better than No Game No Life. IDK. Okay I think I’ll put it on 5. It’s not as good as Demon Slayer because that art design and fights are just so damn good. I think that is why it’s better than Re:Zero. But I think Re:Zero is the best isekai I have watched so far. Just the message and the story is just too good for Isekai sherlock (No Game No Life). Okay that feels so good. So I think I will update my all time favorite anime as:
1.) Mob Psycho
2.) Anohana
3.) One Punch Man
4.) Demon Slayer
5.) Re:Zero
6.) No Game No Life
7.) Attack on Titan
8.) Kill a Kill
9.) How not to summon a demon lord
10.) Parasyte
I’m satisfied with that I think for now
Good Night, Sweet Dreams. Much Love from Sacramento

"Re:Zero" Novel Illustrator's 1st Art Book is Set for Release on September 23
Kadokawa announced today that "Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World: Shinichirou Otsuka Art Works Re:BOX," the first art book of the illustrator for Tappei Nagatsuki's popular light novel series, will be released in Japan on September 23. The Kumamoto-born artist is also known for his character design works for Banpresto's Nintendo Game Boy Advance game Summon Night: Swordcraft Story (2003) and Spike Chunsoft's PSP game series CONCEPTION (2012, 2013).
The fantasy series was originally posted on the amateur novel contribution site "Shousetsuka ni Narou" (Let's Become a Novelist) in April 2012, then has been published from Kadokawa's light novel imprint MF Bunko J since January 2014. The latest 12th volume of the main story arc was released on March 25 of this year, and the whole series including its short story collections and spin-offs has printed over 3.1 million copies in Japan.
In addition to the art book featuring the Re:Zero main characters, including Rem and Emilia (and probably
Subaru, the press release says), the 4,320 yen set also comes with two novel books that contain short
stories that were released as bonus items for purchasers at selected stores in the past and have never been
included in the previous bunko editions. The total pages of the two books is 450 (the average page number
of a Japanese light novel book is around 300).
Novel 1st volume (January 2014) and 2nd volume (February 2014)
3rd (March 2014) and 4th (June 2014)
