Y’all weren’t ready for

✨THE YASSIFICATION OF MORLOCK✨

(Alternatively: come to Handyman Saitou we have Inuya- I mean Dark Schn- I mean Youko Kura-)

[darkcloud-kcalifornia]

I can't believe Handyman Saitou actually went there. Down there. They have to find it. The most cursed artifact of all.

THE THINGY OF VECNA!

...

Look, I know there's gotta be somebody's stupid homebrew of that thing even if it ain't in any of the official sources, so let's hear it. What's the actual effects of that thing in a D&D game?

I’m gonna be honest, I thought going into Winter 2023 that this was gonna be a bit of a dump season. One of those seasons where anime just kinda sits around farting and we all wait patiently for the actual Good Shit to start coming out again while pretending to catch up on our backlogs.

That... has not been the case.

Bofuri Season 2: Seriously, how does this show get so many incredible action cuts?

Buddy Daddies: Look, it’s probably not gonna be gay, but Spy x Family meets Tiger and Bunny is something we all need in our lives, okay?

Campfire Cooking in Another World: Couldn’t even last a full episode of this one before my eyes glazed over. Dropped.

Endo and Kobayashi Live: Now this is pretty charming! Pity the animation’s such garbage, though.

Giant Beasts of Ars: It’s a damn good season for fantasy anime, y’all.

Handyman Saitou in Another World: Could actually end up a halfway decent isekai SOL if it stops being so goddamn terrible at structure.

High Card: This is exactly my brand of Anime Bullshit(tm) and I am so on board.

Ippon Again: An actually great female-led sports anime? With major A Place Further Than the Universe vibes? Do not sleep on this one, y’all.

Kaina of the Great Snow Sea: Damn. Good. Season. For. Fantasy. Anime.

Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible: As far as Takagi-san knock-offs go, this one is pleasant enough.

The Magical Revolution of the Oh Fuck It These LN Titles are Impossible to Remember Just Call it “MagiRevo”: Buckle up, folks, we might just have another Actually Good Isekai on our hands.

Malevolent Spirits Mononogatari: It’s Noragami but shit. Dropped at 1 episode.

Nagatoro-san Season 2: Yeah, turns out I’m still not above the occasional well made trash.

Nier Automata: Genuine question, is this gonna be an acceptable substitute for the game or will I just be spoiling the experience for myself?

Onimai: I fucking hate the Mushoku Tensei studio so much and I hate myself even more for deciding to stick with this one.

Reborn to Master the Blade: This one might be soon for the chopping block, but I’m holding out hope that its story can overcome its middling production values. We’ll have to wait and see.

Revenger: GEN UROBUCHI’S BACK BABY YEEEEEEHAW

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale: Take notes, Every Isekai: this is how you explore slavery in a fantasy setting.

The Tale of Outcasts: Feels like a 13-year-old’sedgy  Ancient Magus Bride fanfiction. Honestly, though? I kind of really dig it.

Tomo-Chan is a Girl: LET. TOMBOYS. BE. TOMBOYS. WITHOUT. SHAMING. THEM. FOR. IT. Dropped at episode 2.

Tokyo Revengers Season 2: At this point, I’m just watching out of morbid curiosity of how bad the manga’s ending supposedly was.

Trails of Cold Steel: The Northern War: Easily the weakest fantasy anime of the lot. Giving it one more episode to impress me, otherwise it gets the drop.

Trigun Stampede: Y’all are buggin, the CG here is incredible.

Tsurune Season 2: Good god, the glow-up from season one is nuts. KyoAni just does not miss.

Vinland Saga Season 2: Okay, manga readers, let’s see if watching a bunch of sad men farm is as incredible as you say.

FINAL Best Boy Winter Chart

Bell from Danmachi at the very end managed to stay at number 1 for 2 weeks in a row! And just like the show, Rei and Kazuki manages to stick together by being right next to each other like they've been on the charts for the ENTIRE season. 9S and Thorfinn dropped 3 spots for their final chart performances, which allows the others to move up 1, including our handyman.

Thank you for all your participation in our winter charts! Our spring polls and charts will launch in the upcoming weeks!

Bigsy week

Isekai stories don't just have to be about a teenage boy's overpowered fantasy wish fulfillment. They could also be for young men trapped in capitalism's clutches, overworked and underappreciated, wishing to live a simpler fantasy life with overpowered abilities and a powerful, big-boobed girl at his side.

Here's a few I've watched lately.

Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside: A competent assistant to his hero little sister's party, Red is now living under an alias as a apothecary. The world's magic system of "Blessings" was interesting, but the bulk of the screen time is devoted to the romance between Red and his big-boobed girl, Rit. After a while, I grew very tired of the romance nonsense and the highlight dots on Rit's boobs...

Chillin’ in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King’s Army: A competent assistant to the four demon generals fired after a change of leadership, Dariel starts his new life helping the people who saved him at his lowest. Tomokazu Sugita voices Dariel, so in my mind, Dariel is a slightly less lazy, slightly less perverted Gintoki, and that alone makes this worth watching for a bit. Plus the story's comedic take on its romance and its more even balance between plot/action and slice-of-life fun makes Chillin' ten times better than the molasses that was Banished. Also, the animators showed some restraint by limiting their use of boob highlight dots, which I appreciate.

Handyman Saitou in Another World: After being fired and getting isekai'd by a truck, a competent jack-of-all-trades joins an adventurer party as their support thief. Saitou desires to be appreciated, and his new friends not only appreciate his lock-picking and general gear-making skills but also his kind heart. The story is first presented in a series of vignettes (I wouldn't be surprised if the manga was mostly a series of 4-panel bits), and the cast is full of unique roleplaying builds and characters. It's enjoyable so far, apart from the really trashy bits.

Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill: After getting caught in a summoning circle meant for three teenagers, 27-year-old salaryman Mukouda decides to not get involved in all that and to explore this new world as an average traveling merchant. As an isekai'd 'hero', he has the special skill of being able to buy anything from Aeon's online shop (with free instant shipping!). Apart from the sponsors and the over-reliance on sauces and just-add-water soups (all that salt!), a simple food-porn-based show isn't the worst thing. Also, instead of a big-boobed girlfriend, he gets a fenrir and the cutest baby slime. Is that a bonus?

[nocandnc]

Yeah, uh.

I'm gonna need them to come out with replicas of all this to buy.

then I can make my Saitou and Raelza dolls kiss

[newtypezaku]

Bro, she is snapping a monster in half while confessing, that’s a keeper

[moontheoretist]

OMG! RANDOM BISEXUAL REPRESENTATION! Poor Raelza!

(She is probably lucky that Saitou is most surely straight xD)
