Hey if Hazel, Dev, and the gang play DnD, what do you think they would play as.... and how who would be the fortunate(or unfortunate) DM?

When I was 10, my older brother would play massive D&D campaigns in the living room. He tried teaching me the mechanics but it was too much and too boring for my small brain. Instead, I was far more fascinated with things like Warrior Cats.

Apparently Warrior Cats has a d&d game though. So. The kids would all play that instead!

Dev would eventually be roped into joining. Mainly because when you're sitting with a table of kids doing storytelling, you end up getting very invested, and very frustrated when they make the very wrong choices!!!

The Real Anime Awards of 2024 (part 2)

Ever since Crunchyroll started doing their Anime Awards, I've made it my personal mission to make my own awards that represent the actual year in anime!

I already posted my silly awards list (with the truly important categories such as: prettiest boy and biggest trainwreck) so here are my serious picks. Don't take anything too seriously. These are just something fun I like to do every year. I can't watch everything.

Too Many Losing Heroines ed 2 (“Crazy For You” Shion Wakayama) *I love the other 2 endings as well, but I could only choose one*😭

Best Japanese VA Performance

*I'm terrible with this category. I really don't know how to judge good voice acting performances at all*

Hasegawa, Ikumi as Masaki (Mayonaka Punch)

Ueda, Hitomi as Yoshino (Yakuza Fiancé)

Seki, Toshihiko as Muzan Kibutsuji (Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc)...This arc may have sucked, but he acted the shit out of it.

Inoue, Kazuhiko as Nyanko Sensei (Natsume Yuujinchou shichi)

Nagase, Anna as Harley Quinn (Isekai Suicide Squad)

Fujita, Saki as Koshi Torako (My Deer Friend Nokotan)

*I don't watch enough dubs to do nominations for English voice actors, but I want to shout out SungWon Cho as Senshi from Dungeon Meshi and Abby Trott as Ayase from Dandadan. They understood the assignment.*

So there you have it! My picks for the real anime awards of 2024! Don't take this seriously at all, it's just something fun I like to put together every year. I always try not to nominate the same things, but it's so hard to include a variety sometimes! 😅

Forgive me and take the silly doodles)

(OOC: While Rain Deer are inedible in game, this isn't the game. It's gone so far off canon already.)

Go! Go! Loser Ranger! - Gojo plays Power Rangers

Wind Breaker - Gojo plays delinquent gang leader This season of Gojo's hobbies outside of being the world's strongest sorcerer is excellent.

Power Rangers Ninja Storm | Prelude to a Storm

[animebw]

One of these years, the spring anime season will not be unfathomably stacked. But 2024 is not that year.

MUST-WATCH

Hibike Euphonium Season 3: And so... our last piece begins.

Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night: An explosion of creativity and joy. The original anime we needed after last season's flops.

Kaiju No. 8: The single most kickass premiere of the season. Production IG does it again, lads.

Tonari no Youkai-san: So here's a show that wasn't on my radar until the first episode walloped me with how good it was. We may have a new ugly-cry masterpiece on our hands here.

RUNNERS UP

Girls Band Cry: The fact this hasn't been officially licensed yet is my roman empire. It's the Love Live Sunshine writer and director on a genuinely fantastic-looking CGI anime, give them respect, god dammit!

Go Go Loser Ranger: Super impressed by the concept and execution alike. Call this one a dark horse for most likely to snatch Anime of the Season when everyone least expects it.

Train to the End of the World: Somehow, this is the most coherent LSD trip I've taken. Not that I've... actually... taken one. Ahem.

Whisper Me a Love Song: Oh thank Christ the adaptation is nowhere near as bad as I was afraid it would be

Wind Breaker: A show that dares to ask the question: what is Tokyo Revengers was... good?

WORTH A LOOK

Bartender: Glass of God: Kinda boring, but also explores some interesting ideas with its focus on bars and bartending. I'll stick with it a little longer at least.

Konosuba Season 3: Somehow these losers keep being just funny enough to keep me watching.

Spice and Wolf: This is probably not gonna live up to the original, but still nice to be reminded of how good this story is.

Yuru Camp Season 3: Oh god what did they do to the character designs

ON THIN ICE

Blue Archive: Not gonna lie, solely watching this for the waifus. We'll see how long that keeps me.

A Condition Called Love: So I maaaaaay have been a bit too harsh on A Sign of Affection last season.

The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio: Well... at least the Whisper Me adaptation is pretty decent, right?

LOOK AT THIS POINT I'M COMMITTED AND I WANT TO SEE HOW DEEP THE ABYSS GOES

Mushoku Tensei Season 2 Part 2: Looooooooooooooooooooooool

[strawberryvanillablast]

Giorno: But that's the thing. How am I supposed to know if I am a human who is part-vampire... or a vampire that's part-human?

Abbacchio: Maybe you should flip a coin?
