    Once it stops grinding its fingers into your eyes, everything bad that happens afterward feels pretty trivial, and everything good feels saccharine

    crunchyroll recently put sorcerer hunters up, which is something i've wanted to watch for the last...twenty years, since it was in mixxzine. it's very slayers-y, if you're interested

    Oh Sorcerer Hunters! Talk about a horny blast from the past - only realized years later that the garrote-wielding red head only had suspenders to cover her top instead of a tiny jacket. Excellent ED tho.

    huh, the anime on crunchyroll has her in a little jacket
    e: seems like there was a movie version where the outfit is more explicit maybe?

    So, after years of kind of liking the anime's Shikata Akiko ED and having read a few chapters of a manga adaptation, I decided to read what I could find of the Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi/A Dark Rabbit Has 7 Lives light novels.

    Of which only 4 are translated out of 13 or so, but screw it, I had to sate my long-standing curiosity about this series that seemed kind of interesting but that I never got around to watching or reading or reading.

    Man, these are written really fucking poorly, and not like in a 'this translation might just suck' way, like the pacing is trash and it will build to something shocking, then the next chapter is back to nothing happening and then like a few pages in the character says 'actually that was resolved off screen'.

    Which is very weird, because the author is Takaya Kagami, i.e. the writer for Owari no Seraph and Legend of Legendary Heroes.

    Anyway, the world seems interesting and I suspect once it quits going in circles it would be a much better read.

    Except those 4 translated volumes barely set the stage, I'm still not sure if the heroine is like an insane time abyss that thinks she's a teenage girl or what. Is seems like...she's an ancient vampire that chooses to look like a young girl, but has forgotten that she's an even more ancient, completely nuts end-the-world crazy vampire? Maybe? The anime supposedly adopts roughly the same material as these four volumes, but apparently quite poorly?

    So I have accomplished nothing but wasting a few hours, I guess. The wiki is a bunch of stubs, so I'm cursed with this dissatisfaction forever. Maybe someone translated a manga adaptation further.

    ...speaking of series that I was reminded existed because I set Foobar to shuffle...

    Did anyone but me watch this goofiness? This has to be like top 5 for 'super dumb series I watched all the way through', if we don't count ones that are merely gross or sketchy.

    One got badly scarred, the other had to replace body parts with his devil fruit powers.

    Perona sticks around as Mihawk's friend, it'd be nice to have her there whenever Zoro and Mihawk finally fight.

    Huh, the newest D.Gray Man chapter (I actually thought it was dead) came out. After well over 200 of the bloody things we finally get a glimpse of why the Noah are so angry.

    the creator of D. Gray Man is believed to have developed a pretty serious degenerative illness. She's really reclusive though so it's hard to tell. People just know that she's been hospitalized a lot.

    I've been watching the first few episodes of Sorcerer Hunters based on the "it's sort of like Slayers" recommendation, and it's not... AS good as Slayers but it's fine I guess, and I'm kind of desperate for swords and sorcery fantasy anime that's not a bloody isekai or isekai derivative. Weirdly though, I get a strong sense from the art style and the character designs that this somehow shares some production DNA with Pokemon? I don't see any obvious links between them on wikipedia though, different directors and studios. I guess it's probably just the shared 90s anime aesthetic making me get that feeling.

    e: maybe they contracted the inbetweening out to the same korean studio, heh
