    Wind Breaker's first episode has some legitimately pretty nutso fight/action animation.

    But it's Cloverworks, so expect production to crash.

    The anime did a good job of being the midway point of these designs

    I feel like the anime was all the way to the right, the left design feels much closer to stardust crusaders

    The midpoint was that Jotaro and co. kept their Stardust Crusaders physique and the new class got the more lean physique.

    Then in Golden Wind they were all skinnyboys, even in old photos

    speaking of the latter, the 2013 Part 1 Jojonium covers are fascinating

    you can really tell how old Jojo was just a Fist of the North Star ripoff drawing design cues from 80s action heroes and later Jojo took more from... ancient greek statues, IIRC?

    I’d be surprised if they don’t just do the whole thing, it’s a completed story and pretty straightforward

    they're only doing two cours, so they probably aren't this season

    To be clear I mean the OPs themselves are pretty much always worse after that, since they change every half season.

    We've started watching Sasaki and Peeps, I don't know if anyone else has. I'll spoil some of the setup because discovering just what the show is actually about has been a fun ride

    Sasaki is a competent but unassuming salaryman who adopts a bird as a pet and discovers
    the bird is a reincarnation of a mage from another world. Sasaki begins learning magic from Pi-chan, or Peeps, and uses it to travel back and forth between his world and ours. He starts selling modern convenience goods in the fantasy world, makes quite a bit of money over there, and starts making plans to gradually set himself up in the good life permanently. Standard isekai stuff

    But then back in Tokyo he uses magic to save somebody from a mysterious assailant and gets scooped up by the secret government agency that handles psychics. They've mistaken his magic for psychic power and put him to work as a field agent going up against a group of rogue psychic criminals.

    Oh, and then the magical girl shows up

    It's a weird show with about 4 different shows all fighting for space inside it, but we've found it pretty charming, and Sasaki is a very low-key and relatable sort of protagonist. Also the bird is great

    It's a very good bird.

    Also, its kind of fun that
    even though this is an isekai where the protagonist learns magic in the other world, almost all of the battling happens back in the main world. Isekai word is mostly politics and business times.

    I hope it gets another season since they are already up to at least three different worlds interacting and it seems to be setting up yet another one at the end.

    Started watching the Black Lagoon dub, one more episode to go for the first season

    this show is nuts

    The Mad Dog Maid episodes might be my favorite mini arc in all of anime. Some top-shelf action setpieces in that arc.

    Just uh be ready to muscle through the first three episodes of season 2. Shit gets profoundly rough and extremely uncomfortable to watch. The arc after that is a lot more fun, though, and so is the arc that finishes out the season.

    Currently this season looks like this for me:

    Tuesday: Spice & Wolf
    Wednesday: X-men '97, Konosuba
    Thursday: Delicious in Dungeon
    Sunday: Go Go Loser Ranger

    I haven't actually started Spice & Wolf yet though, holding out to see if we get a dub announcement with the original dub cast or not.

    Also if you dispute X-men '97 on the list you can go Cry for the Moon.

    The twins arc is the reason why I cannot recommend Black Lagoon to people.

    I like the rest of the show but Jesus Christ.

    Jellyfish show is probably the best animated new show I've seen so far this season, but man, could it have done without the gratuitous underwear shot at the start. It does just seem to be another coming of age show about an insecure girl meeting a manic pixie girl and they're totally just roomates, but the animation and direction are both really unusually good.

    So, having finished Frieren as the last episode of the season was finally dubbed (and let's be honest, dubs have gotten significantly better these days) I was thinking of what a second season would cover.

    Here be manga spoilers, you have been warned.
    First, let's establish our measuring stick - Season One covered 60 chapters of the series in 28 episodes split over two consecutive cours. If that pace is maintained, then a second season would end on chapter 120, which is a standalone chapter, and honestly one that wouldn't make for a good end point.

    Instead, it's likely that, like Season One, they would end on the ending of an arc - the question is would it be the ending of Macht of the Golden Land (Chapter 104), or Return to the Past (Chapter 119). I suspect the former, as chapters have been getting denser, which would play with the one episode = two chapters pace that Season One stuck to. I'd also expect that in that case, the Season Two episode order would be smaller - perhaps 24 episodes. Structurewise the setup would be similar - cour 1 would have most of the standalone episodes, split by the Divine Revolte arc, while cour 2 would be dominated by Macht of the Golden Land.
