GG:Strive anime announced.
Steam: YOU FACE JARAXXUS| Twitch.tv: CainLoveless
like, no promises but the same team did this
still, it's been great so far and i am looking forward to the next season for sure
moment i was really on board was the living armor, my favorite episode was the copies episode, and not really any low moments
If you have a spare five hours or so...
ymmv but i had a similar experience to it as the devil may cry franchise where i had only a passing familiarity with some limited direct exposure to it for years and years, and had somewhat written it off until i finally gave it a real shot and was like oh this Rules actually?? this has ruled this entire time??
Adapting the Guilty Gear Strive "story mode" would be weird. It features zero gameplay, and as such is basically already an anime.
Excited for something new from the Symphogear creator.
I'm like 10 episodes in and I can't tell if anybody is bad or just maybe makes bad decisions. I thought mirror witch but now it looks like she might a tragic backstory.
Though I cannot understand how the stepmom ended up back at the castle. They were sent away because of assassination attempts so they rode with purpose for a while and then just came right back?
Preferably something more lighthearted with a bit of comedy and not too dramatic, and while plot is not a priority it is welcome. Any recs?
I already know about the big stuff like MHA and JK, etc.
Undead Unluck?
The last season of Symphogear was 2019, so it might fit.
All-girls Power Rangers whose suits are powered by singing.
(this video is from the first episode of season 5, so may contain spoilers about who is on the team and such)
SSSS.Gridman, SSSS.Dynazenon, and Gridman Universe (film) are all by Trigger and it's what they made immediately before Delicious in Dungeon (there's even a Delicious in Dungeon easter egg at the end of the movie).
These are technically a sequel to Hyper Agent Gridman, a live action series from the 90s that got adapted in America as Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad. Seeing it isn't needed though (two specific episodes of it add more depth to two characters, but that's it).
SSSS.Gridman comes first, then SSSS.Dynazenon is a different cast dealing with different stuff, then the movie has both casts coming together.
(This video is the official music video for the theme song for the movie, however it only features scenes from the two tv series and they're flashing by so fast it probably won't spoil much unless you're really good at inferring stuff)
Deca-Dence is a world where most of humanity has been wiped out and the remainder live in a mobile city and fight off giant bug creatures. The main character is a girl with a prosthetic arm.
(this is the official trailer, don't look up much else about it or you may get some big spoilers)
I was going to mentioned Assassination Classroom, but it turns out it came out nearly ten years ago, what the hell?
Oh, and of course there's always Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Parts 4, 5, and 6 all came out in recent memory.
You could also try watching only the spider scenes in So I'm a Spider, So What?
Lycoris Recoil
I have been hearing a lot about this one.
a lot of popular series aimed at kids do tend to fall into the endless battle bucket, but that's not really a good signpost for where the boundaries are
looking into it I guess it's from Weekly Young Jump, which is seinen so whoops
MangaPlus kind of just lumps it all together tbh
(for those curious, Shonen is marketed towards the 9-18 range while Seinen is marketed towards young adult men)
This. It's really fun, and a lot of why it's fun is because it's obvious why you'd want to play the game everyone's playing.
The cast is colourful, there's zero fan service (does the main character being a shirtless and fairly ripped looking guy count? The bird head may be an argument against), the VAing is really strong .. it's just good! Even folks playing avatars that don't match who they are in real life is treated as completely normal, to the point I'd wait it's one of the most low key trans friendly shows out there - of the main cast, 1 guy plays a lithe punchy lass, and another lady plays a giant armoured hulk of a guy.
And it's got a second season coming this October, because it apparently blew the hell up.
The manga is really good too, with plenty of content to chow down on.
The other bit that's great is that while the protagonists are shown to all be very talented gamers, they're not the absolute best or have cheats or similar. They make mistakes and fail (often in hilarious or very believable ways. Poor sunraku and his eagle related trauma). They all have different strengths and weaknesses as players and feel like believable people. It's a show that leverages the fact there's no real end of the world stakes to tell stories where you get invested in the stakes for the characters, their egos and goals, etc.
Great stuff!

I'm guessing they'll go with an all new VA cast, but I know some of the OGs are still kicking around. Would be nice to have them back, but I'm not holding my breath.

Given how popular(and super high quality) the UY remake is, I had a feeling this was next. But just like UY, the original show is a tough act to follow.
