    Been watching Heya Camp today and this show really is a great bite-sized encapsulation of the full YuruCamp∆ series

    It's the only one of these moé slice of life shows to ever get my attention but dammit, it's earned it

    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is a better version of In Another World With My Smartphone that skipped all the harem stuff and went straight to the making a new country.

    I can't wait for season 2 of Slime-kun - much like with Demon Slayer, I feel like the first season left off with a very weak plot segment, but from what little I know it seems like the next bit picks up heavily

    Hey a new tenchi series just popped up on crunchyroll

    Seems like its a prequel to Geminar? I think Ive missed one series though

    If it's the 4th OVA it's kinda weird how it fits in the timeline.
    It seems to take place after Tenchi Muyo GXP with Seina already engaged to his multiple wives and post tenchi ascending and descending to and from godhood at the end of the 3rd OVA. It's basically "Jurai Politics - The Series" and references a bunch of things in the manga that are so esoteric the sub-titlers had to add multiple footnotes in the translation subtitles to reference what they're talking about. If you're watching directly after OVA 3 and never read the manga so much of it doesn't make any sense. It apparently sets up Tenchi's dad getting married and having a new kid - Kenshi who is being prepped to be sent to Geminar which I guess sets up the War on Geminar series? Also the village that Tenchi grew up in is basically a remote "boarding" location for Jurai descendants to grow up on earth before moving back to Jurai to resume their lives as Juraiin royalty or something.

    The story also goes into Seto's assistant Minaho who's ALSO apparently got the hots for Tenchi and begins independently trying to go after him as well. So yeah, I'd say it's about 50-60% political back and forth about Tenchi's future and his dad's new kid getting sent over to Geminar with a bunch of small slice of life stuff that wraps up some tiny threads from previous Tenchi OVA episodes and GXP.

    Again, it's pretty convoluted if you haven't read all the accompanying manga for Tench Muyo Proper. I was lost most of the time to be honest.

    OVA 3 is quite possibly the most disappointing thing I have ever watched.

    That or Bubblegum Crisis 2040.

    How thoroughly they messed up the Tokimi arc was a sight to behold.

    Oh, on the list of manga I follow, I forgot:

    I Love Cinema, I am Lonely

    It's vaguely yuri-ish but really it's mostly about two roommates arguing about pop culture and the joy of nerding out over shit

    In the most recent chapter their otaku friend convinced them to watch Eva and they got very invested

    Slime-kun gets pretty dumb near the end. It's not the worst but it's still pretty dumb.

    In slime related LN rankings, I'd say it's worse than Max Level.


    I've been reading and rereading a lot of LN lately. Nee-chan wa chuunibyou is still pretty great. It's not the most eloquently written story but the concept of it is kind of dumb and enjoyable.

    Basically dudes sister is a hardcore chuuni. Unlike most other chuuni related things she then decides that she needs to train her younger brother into a superhuman using manga, anime and novel training regimens. That's basically just the back story, though there are some 'training arcs' of sorts. It's mostly about the dude starting high school and the stuff that happens. I'd say it's mostly very light on the harem stuff. It exists but only as kind of a reason for the guy to get involved in weird things and he's really having none of it anyway.

    Besides that... The Really Light Novel Title: I saved too many girls and caused the apocalypse.

    The series is, obviously, about harem garbage. The actual hook is the dudes family is... Blessed? Cursed? With basically being a last ditch hero. The multiverse goes along it's merry way, but if the Fated Hero ends up dead or something this guy (and his dad before him, etc) will somehow get dragged into it. Be it straight isekai or alien abduction or whatever the will of the universe needs to do to get him there. He's not actually some super hero and he has the choice to ditch out too. It's pretty alright, but I'm only 4 volumes in or so.

    08th Team is probably the best entry point for the franchise I'd say.

    The original series would probably really benefit from a Kai rework just to streamline the plot while leaving more meat on the bone than the movies do.

    My favorite part of the slime isekai, at least in the first episode or so, is
    the dude is about to die, and he tells his coworker / friend to go to his apartment and erase his hard drives. Because that's what real friends do.

    I appreciate that the end shows him actually doing it. With a nice big 'don't actually do this' warning.

    It must have been something major because I straight up couldn't understand what the hell was going on. Apparently Tenchi is some kind of god, who was the product of 3 other ultra-time-space-goddesses which Tsunami apparently has some psychotic mother who wants to destroy the universe but godhood tenchi somehow calmed down and made love to or something??? These latter two ovas really seem to be aimed at the folks who kept up with the Manga because I couldn't figure out a damn thing.
