    Dorohedoro has probably the highest percentage of characters that I did not expect to end up liking.

    My Dorohedoro trajectory basically went like this:

    All wizards are assholes.

    Actually wait these guys are still assholes but they're also pretty great characters.

    Okay now I almost feel sorry for the wizards.

    Wizards have never even heard the concept of consent. All these devils are assholes.

    Shit stop making me like these assholes!

    I can't believe I never realized Tomoe was voiced by "You Are Already Dead" Kenshiro himself.

    Komi Can't Communicate season 1 seems to have ended today (with a To Be Continued at the end). This one was rough for me for two reasons. The worst material in the series is that middle start sequence and the subs were bad to the point of being distracting (in that not NEARLY enough was subtitled). Presuming there will be a season 2, I really hope they do better with the subs on it, the plot will make that season MUCH superior.

    If the second season goes elsewhere than Netflix (which can happen easily) the subs will likely be better

    Ousama Ranking's 2nd OP made me laugh-cry. Bit of a high bar for all the other 2022 anime openings to clear, but damn, it hit me at probably a perfect moment of my life. EDIT: I don't want to hype this too much, but it really is friggin gorgeous, and the song's hook and the certain cadence it uses makes it all emotional, snappy, and positive.
    And based on the visuals it's already prepping me to get emotional with Miranjo's backstory as well. The series already made me feel bad for random beast mooks, damnit!

    After that delightful Christmas present last time, in this week's chapter of Kaguya-sama: Love is War (Ch. 249) ...
    the last of Kaguya's brothers shows up and attempts to buy off Shirogane with a 10 million yen "We're sorry for the trouble" "apology".
    Now 10M yen (~a bit under 100K in USD) is a significant amount of money for someone that only recently moved out of poverty, but being the male lead in a romcom, Shirogane can't possibly accept that offer, can he?
    Of course not. No, instead he perfectly plays the part of a pathetic gold digger, and gets to walk away with the equivalent of over eight and a half million dollars.

    Not that he's giving up. He's got a war chest now. Love is War indeed.

    I loved his logic.

    I was going to marry that girl, and 1% of what her father left the estate would have been 200 billion dollars, so you can spare a little more than 100 grand for me.

    Nothing else so far of the new season has gripped me, but nothing's been offensively shitty or obnoxious yet either. There's still plenty of isekai to go though.

    Dolls'/Girls' Frontline was kind of funny just because of how deadly serious it took itself given how utterly ridiculous the entire setup and character designs are, but that kind of amusement doesn't last long, and the episode itself was at least 50% just military logistic babbling, so just another Girls As -Insert Military Noun- gacha thing, really. It definitely doesn't have the animation strengths that Azur Lane did either, or even Seven Knights for that matter.

    Yeah, Upotte was girls as specifically guns, as opposed to personifications of planes, ships, tanks, countries, zodiacs, cars, trains, trucks, bikes, Chinese warlords, flavors of gum, etc. It was just trashy fanservice.

    I'm two episodes into Blade Runner: Black Lotus, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than I expected.

    Shinji Aramaki directed it! (Bubblegum Crisis mecha designer, notably)


    Shinichiro Watanabe(Cowboy Bebop, Blade Runner: Blackout, Excel Saga) was involved too, apparently.

    Sure does. After the first season covered the first arc, for some reason season 2 covered the entire rest of the series. Smushing 140+ chapters into 11 episodes, resulting in a rushed and nonsensical mess.

    It was a long time before I found out that all the shipgirl stuff wasn't just Azur Lane and that there are actual multiple different series about World War II battleships as anime girls. And Azur Lane wasn't even the first one to do it.

    Girls Frontline previously had a chibi comedy series called Healing and Madness chapters. They were pretty great.

    Girls Frontline is a damn good story. The current anime is technically an adaptation of the manga which expanded on the in game story. They aren't anthro weapons, they are civilian robots given a military weapons module to be able to use weapons, though it's all 'antique' weapons because they aren't actually military and the state has the monopoly on modern high end violence. They give them the names of the weapons they carry as a way to dehumanize them. It's all part of the lore.
