ゲーセン少女と異文化交流

ゲーセン少女と異文化交流

It started with an ugly 3D bus. Then it used that thing when colors are sucked out of everything except specific object on screen. In this case, the "object" was Lily, and effect looked quite nice. Then it was... Just somewhat awkward interaction between Japanese employer and English child (the way she said "Bloody hell" was cute).

I am a bit concerned, that the guy did not reject Lily's "love"

フードコートで、また明日。

フードコートで、また明日。

A long ad for KFC? I mean, it's not WcDonalds, or anything like that, it clearly Colonel Sanders and KFC, so I guess there was a deal for that, right?

Regardless this is just two cute girls talking. Their interactions are quite good, it's clear there will be no real development or plot here, this is more like a bunch of skits. Or maybe not even skits necessarily, but just short stories. Which is

出禁のモグラ

出禁のモグラ

Really weird proportions. It's either heads are too big or torsos are too small, dunno. And it's not that much disproportionate, but still noticeable and bugs me. Aside from that, kind of meh. None of the characters or the supposed "spirit world" got me intrigued.

ブサメンガチファイター

ブサメンガチファイター

But... The guy's boss was even uglier! What are they talking about? There was no reason to censor his face before isekai, too. Yeah, he is not a "beshonen" or whatever, but even then, he could go to the gym and all. Although, I am not sure he should have been "proud" of his mug either.

Bigger problem is that the math is not really mathing here. What kind of RPG system would start with looks as a

雨と君と

雨と君と

Something, something, meditation. At least the first episode felt very meditative for me. Felt stupid, how even veterinarian considered tanuki a dog for no apparent reason, but... Ah... Ok, I guess? Unclear where this show is going, though, but giving it a chance for now.

気絶勇者と暗殺姫

気絶勇者と暗殺姫

Why are they lying about the premise right away? I mean, they say that all 3 girls want to kill this "hero", but only 2 of them want to, and the other one wants him as a pet. Wouldn't that mean that she needs him alive?

Assassin girl looks like a potentially interesting character, others - not so much. Guess that's why she is in the title of the show. Do not like Hero's design, he looks like a dork

Bad Girl

Bad Girl

Yuri of the season, I guess. Cute girls fawning over each other in subtle and not so subtle ways, while doing cute and (potentially) funny things. Not my thing. Although "bad" Yuu could be nice.

City The Animation

City The Animation

A compilation of comedy sketches, essentially, with somewhat unique style (at least compared to majority of modern anime). Not my thing. I also did not get the point of the bird, unless this was intentional subversion of expectations.

Duster

Duster

Kind of "meh". The show definitely has some style, especially music, but as a story, I think it falls a bit flat, in the end. The overall structure of it is perfectly fine: not too simple, not too complex - but there is not  much meat over the bones. Information we get on characters and their relationships is barebones, mostly factual with much of power behind any feelings. We are told that a

Squid Game

Squid Game

When greed takes over art.

I did not review original series (was not doing that at the time), and intentionally did not review season 2 since season 3 is actually season 2 part 2, so this is, in a sense, review of the series as a whole. I'll try to limit spoilers, but there will be some, that's unavoidable.

First season was quite good. Probably can be picked up into pieces to find flaws in the story

光が死んだ夏

光が死んだ夏

I am confused by the whole premise. Not by the fact that Hikaru died, and some thing copied him, no. What did Yoshiki notice? Why only after 6 months? Although if that was something minor - that's fine. But then why the world started reacting to Hikaru after 6 months as well? Like that old lady, and the cat. I can understand a couple of weeks, but half year does not sit right.

青春ブタ野郎はランドセルガールの夢を見ない

青春ブタ野郎はランドセルガールの夢を見ない

Boring. Probably even worse thanthe previous movie, or at least as boring as that one. It probably should have been like 40 minutes, at best, an OVA, rather than a movie. In terms of story it also did not do much, and did not explain anything, unlike previous movies and seasons. While I get some guilt that Sakuta "forgot" his mother in 2 years, it seems stupid to trigger the syndrome. Especially

怪獣8号 保科の休日

怪獣8号 保科の休日

This reminded me of that episode (or were there multiple ones) where Naruto and Team 7 tried to see Kakashi without his mask.

水属性の魔法使い

水属性の魔法使い

Is he constantly maintaining that ice on the spear? Or can he create ice that never melts? I get that with the sword he seems to be maintaining the shape intentionally, at least. Although unclear why it needs another ice blade over whatever other blade it has. And why did Dullahan even give him the sword (let alone train)? I get it that the thing was not hostile or anything, but what merit did it

陰陽廻天 Re:バース

陰陽廻天 Re:バース

Identity crisis, the anime.

Dreaming of another world because of mysterious connection? Check.

Isekaid by truck-kun? Check. Kind of. Not directly, but truck-kun was definitely involved.

クレバテス-魔獣の王と赤子と屍の勇者

クレバテス-魔獣の王と赤子と屍の勇者

Nonsense. He had no reason at all to save the child. Especially since introduction of the beast suggested that he just woke up or something and may be lazy. He also did not really need an army for anything, if he wanted, he could have continued the rampage and that's it. I mean, he even said that he would do that before killing the king, so why? There is zero logic in the so-oh-powerful beast, who

ネクロノミ子のコズミックホラーショウ

ネクロノミ子のコズミックホラーショウ

It's fine, no one will notice that we used ChatGPT for subtitles. Right? Right?

Well, kind of, since I, personally, did not. I noticed that English ones were weird, but would not  have guess them to be from GPT. Probably because I was annoyed by the annoying characters, that were at least as equally annoying as the girl from thatCrazy Detectiveshow which aired around the same time. But there are

まったく最近の探偵ときたら

まったく最近の探偵ときたら

The girl is so annoying. The guy is not that much better either, but I guess this is supposed to be a gag show or something, so maybe that's ok for the genre? The "great detective" is not that great, though. That hug that they witnessed does not prove infidelity. Is it suspicious? 100%. Is it admissible? No. It can be a brother, a good old friend, who is a hugger. The woman can be a hugger. I get

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic

Remember the time, when Ubisoft was not a conveyor? Yeah, probably not, you, probably, were not even born yet or you were, but did not play such games yet. Dark Messiah was one of those games, that would not be made in modern Ubisoft, because it was an experiment. And from what I understand it was not that successful financially, but it did achieve some love from from gamers, so much love, that

诡秘之主

诡秘之主

Episode 2:

This show is like a fever dream. So many things happening, almost none of them making any sense, but suggesting, that there is something bigger and something connecting them all. There are like 3 or 4 subplots, all presenting themselves complex, and all suggesting, that you need to have some prior knowledge to understand them, but... There is no prequels to this, from what I understand.

Ironheart

Ironheart

You know it's going to be bad, when within 2 minutes they claim that Stark would not be Stark if he was not a billionaire. I mean this contradicts the meme, let alone the actual fact of him being more than just a billionaire.

Really poor design of the error handling in the suit: the way she crashed implies, that whenever something goes wrong with the software she can easily die. Iron Man suite

タコピーの原罪

タコピーの原罪

Even though I know first hand what suicide ideation is, nothing wrenched my gut watching first episode. Until mother's hand on Marina's face.

I understand why Takopii is the way he/she/it is, but I wonder how they will leverage it. So far he/she/it just annoys me. "Just be happy" kind of mentality does not help in real life. Yes, you probably want to strive towards it, in a sense, but you can't

KPop Demon Hunters

KPop Demon Hunters

It's like... Actually good? Like... Unironically? I did not expect that.

I totally thought this would be some trash trying to milk the KPop culture/fandom, but... I mean, it is that, no mistake about that, but it's not just a cash-grab. The story, if you think about it, is kind of simplistic and predictable, but I do not think it was aiming for something complex. It's a fairy tale. You know, like

I

化物語

化物語

This manga confirmed once again, that Shinobu is a great character. Even though her story is incomplete here, obviously, and in some cases it was not as impactful as anime was, but still. There really are not that many characters as complex in modern media, or at least once that also feel natural, even when they act like a total doofus.

Hanekawa's story is probably just a little bit less compelling

AMD: It's not us

AMD: It's not us

When my personal laptop died (potentially due to my stupidity) back in 2023, I decided to build an all-AMD PC. My original reasoning was: "Intel seems to have a lot of vulnerabilities and instability issues, and Nvidia is pushing for AI a little bit too hard, and is just too expensive, while AMD seems to be more reasonable, reasonable more stable recently and also supports open standards, which is
