Anime is probably my biggest pastime with reading manga, webtoons, Manhwa and sometimes even the novels too! Love how much this anime season has been kicking ass! What is your favorite anime of this season and or ever?!
So, I’m still behind on the spring season tbh. Life’s been hella busy lately!
But, here’s what I’m feeling for the shows I’ve watched so far!!!
Still gotta watch a few & some towards the bottom are on the chopping block as well. I also need to catch up on LBC & Konosuba so I can watch the newest seasons 😭😭
Any shows that I’m missing that I need to check out 👀👀
Spring anime 2024 kicked off for with an isekai. Re:monster follows Gobrou, a lowly goblin who has the power to evolve as he devours other monsters to gain their speciality ability.
"Re: Monster" is a captivating light novel series that has expanded into manga and anime, intriguing audiences with its unique take on the isekai genre. The story follows Tomokui Kanata, who is reincarnated as a goblin named Goburou, retaining his human memories and intelligence. This twist allows for a narrative where consumption leads to power, as Goburou can absorb the abilities of whatever he eats. The series explores themes of survival and evolution in a world where strength dictates one's fate, offering a fresh perspective on the reincarnation trope within fantastical settings.

I watched 2 of the Spring’s “Reincarnated & Kept My Memories” anime!
* Reincarnated as the 7th Prince - Is your basic Overpowered MC, starts out as a toddler etc. Seems very average. I’ll give it 2-3 eps to see if it cooks. Prolly not going to tho.
* Re:Monster - Another OP MC, this time reborn as a Goblin. This anime reminds me of a generic version of Slime… I’ll def watch & see if this is going to be average or above average.
I've seen a comment on a website talking about an anime and this one person said "Reincarnated as a Slime , overlord , re-monster etc why do they all have the same traits.. are animators just copying each other I can’t even enjoy anime anymore" which is stupid for A. These are called tropes
B. Animators do not write the story they just add the motion (the people who write the manga, manwa, and lights novels are but that's a trope taken from the industry)
C. No shit they're going to have similar traits they're the same genre
Godzilla: Rulers of Earth has evidently been a huge hit for Japanese publisher Phase Six, kicking off a lengthy run of translated and original kaiju comics. They'll be releasing the first 12 issues in a ReMonstered Edition hardcover on Halloween. It's ReMonstered because Matt Frank made some tweaks to his art, although he promises he "didn't, like, replace guns with walkie talkies." The real prize, however, is a new six-page story called "Thinking On Our Feet", starring Lucy Casprell, Kristina Sumres, and Varan! Longtime readers know that I am Not Normal about the Rulers of Earth lesbians and will probably have to import this reprint of comics I already own, as an English release for the six-pager is just a dream right now.
EDIT: @starestream points out that IDW is reprinting all of its Godzilla comics in giant Library Editions, and they haven't done Rulers of Earth yet. (Volume 1, which came out a couple days ago, gathers Gangsters & Goliaths, Legends, and The Half-Century War.)
Legendary Comics launched a Kickstarter for hardcover editions of two Monsterverse graphic novels: Godzilla x Kong: The Hunter and Monsterverse Declassified. They've already vaulted over their goal, unsurprisingly. If you're content with paperbacks, the main news here is a little more information about the comics. Oh, and a glimpse of a new Titan on the cover of Monsterverse Declassified that the campaign studiously avoided naming. (Supposedly it's Abaddon.)
Synopsis for Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted:
A twisted Skull Island trophy hunter baits his trap and sets his sights on the biggest game of all deep within the Hollow Earth in the official prequel graphic novel to the upcoming film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
Synopsis for Monsterverse Declassified:
Discover the legends of four fan-favorite Titans - Doug, Behemoth, and Tiamat, plus one to-be-revealed Titan! Join Bernie Hayes as he takes readers down the rabbit hole to reveal classified Monarch secrets and ancient monster myths in the first-ever Monsterverse anthology!
Godzilla: Here There Be Giants #4 has the series poised to end on a high note, bringing in the Giant Octopus in its final pages. (It's called Oodako here, which is a name I never expected to see in official media, seeing as it just means "giant octopus" in Japanese.) Amazingly, this is its first time fighting Godzilla, despite debuting in a Godzilla movie all the way back in 1962.
If you live in the States and were hoping to see Godzilla Minus One in IMAX, bad news: Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé is now opening on December 1 as well, and IMAX preorders for it have already started. Godzilla's taken on a Queen B before, but concert films are suddenly box office gold (Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is poised to open with $125 million domestic, higher than any 2023 superhero movie). The subtitled period piece doesn't seem to stand much of a chance, Godzilla or not. Still, keep an eye out.
A black-and-white version of Shin Godzilla called SHIN GODZILLA:ORTHOchromatic will play in a handful of Japanese theaters on the last weekend of October. I'm guessing the film has been regraded (the announcement mentions that Shinji Higuchi and AD Katsuro Onoue supervised the project), so changing the settings on your TV won't perfectly replicate it. But it's a hell of a lot cheaper than a plane ticket.
I've meant to give an update on the state of Paths Beyond for a while, so the release of Monster Core seems like a good moment to do so. I've had many different balls in the air, including freelance work for Scion, community content for Changeling: the Lost and Pathfinder Infinite, and the almost-three-year-old goblin running around my house. Oh and the day job. Anyhow, the point is that updates have been slow, even though I'm picking away on some new writeups when I have time. My hope is to build up a couple months of buffer so I can make regular posts again. With a little luck, it won't take too much longer.
I think there's a solid argument that the entire Remaster was worth it for the new hags.
Then there's the Oliphant in the room— the Remaster. I've been waiting for Monster Core to release to see what monsters get changed in the update, but I'd be lying if I said that waiting hadn't killed some of my motivation to write. I'm getting that back now, but it has been a challenge to overcome. One way I'm going to refocus is by getting the writeups for Monster Core done first, then loop back around to other monsters. This won't be a hard and fast rule since I am a firm believer in writing what motivates you to write, but it will be a firmer guideline than the pirate's code.
Conspiracy Dragons are so damn weird and I absolutely love them.
There's also one change I'd like to point out: the scope of Paths Beyond has shifted a bit. This is a consequence of the Gatewalkers Adventure Path. It hit the tone I want for Paths Beyond, yet it doesn't feature any planar content beyond (heh) its first installment. That challenged me to rethink what I wanted Paths Beyond to be and the insight it gave me is to the project's benefit. Paths Beyond is definitely still about the planes, but it is also about the weird, the strange, and the bizarre. If it is an attempt to recreate the tone of Planescape within Pathfinder, it is far more about capturing the tone of high weirdness and the impossible made possible than it is trying to recreate the feeling of Sigil itself. Sometimes that will mean stories that jump from Heaven to Hell and back again — but it doesn't have to.
