    Caught up on Demon Slayer, and a bit sad, I thought I had more to watch. :(

    I hate when anime do the recap episodes, even more so when it's a movie recap. But they must do it for a reason...

    Money. They want to milk every last cent from the superfans who will buy the series at ridiculous markup, the movie version, the VN, the manga, the spinoff manga, the light novel, the Weiß Schwarz CCG tie-in, spend money on the pachinko version, the life size hug pillow, specially embossed condoms, and the novelization.

    Eat your heart out Disney/Marvel/Harry Potter/Star Wars.

    It's obnoxious but I get it. But then things like Wonder Egg Priority happen and the ending is a massive disappointment, and they wasted the "wrap up movie" with 90 percent recap

    Oh hey, there's an OddTaxi movie being made called ODDTAXI: In the Woods. Looks like it'll pick up right where the series ended.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's a recap/compilation deal. It announced that it'll show what's after the cliffhanger the series ended on though, but that probably means like, 5 minutes at most of added stuff there.

    E:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WunaLWbs37A

    The description under the official promo. Specifically
    満を持しての映画化となる本作ではアニメシリーズの総ざらいに加え、最終回の”その後”も描かれる。

    Basically, "This project, a full movie, besides being a summary of the anime series will also animate an epilogue."

    Oh, that's disappointing. I probably won't watch the movie except the epilogue, unless I hear that it's good. I'm not sure what could be edited out without losing major character arcs and developments. I'll probably look up the epilogue somewhere, though, just to see how they resolve the ending. I suppose it would be too much to ask for a full sequel and second season, given how it ended, though.

    Wolf's Rain was the worst for that, 4 goddamned episodes in a row.

    Thankfully they were cheeky with the DVDs and put those four on one of them, so you could just buy them individually and skip that one.

    I'm half way through the first season of Darker Than Black and kinda I feel like this show is expecting me to do far more heavy lifting re: why I should give a shit about anything/anyone than I was prepared for going in

    That's Darker than Black baby! Don't watch the second season. No srsly don't. Like really, really don't.

    First season has some cool fight scenes though.

    My Dress-Up Darling is pretty good, enjoyed today's episode. Good chemistry.

    I wasn't liking early Dress-Up Darling episodes. Some things it changed, and others I couldn't remember if it was like that in the start of the manga or if they were changes as well. At one point it had me questioning if I had the wrong read on Goro this whole time or not. The camera leers a bit too much for my liking too (to be fair, the manga probably did it too but it's different when it's just a panel your eyes can scan past and go to the next one instead of a lingering camera shot).

    The ED was very cute though.

    Then the last half of episode 3 and then today's episode were getting more familiar with how I felt about the manga, so that's good. I still don't agree with making Goro smaller and more panicky though. Marin is mostly correct, though they removed the pierced tongue from her design (though to be fair, you don't see that too much in the manga anymore either).

    There's something kind of impressive about how lazy Ryman's Club is. Its gimmick is that it's adults in a sports club instead of high schoolers, except that it is literally just a high school club. They didn't bother changing a single thing whatsoever. The dude with the yips is fired from his bank job because he's choking at badminton, so he's recruited by Generic Business Inc... to play badminton on their team, but is mad about it and threatens to quit his job because they don't take badminton as serious as he does. The ED suggests that there's going to be Office Regionals or something.

    An addendum to something I posted the other day. I said that the english dub of Zombie Land Saga dubbed all the songs, but apparently that's only true for Season 1. In Season 2 they just play the Japanese track for the songs and put up subtitles. I guess it was budget or something?

    Anyways, when I said that I'd seen both seasons in Japanese but only the first season in English and made the mistake of assuming that Season 2 continued with what they did in Season 1.

    I have gotten the impression some large businesses do actually have employee sports clubs in the style of high school sports clubs

    And almost half are good!

    From watching most of the supposed good ones... no even less than that. I am a bit disgruntled that the Summer Wars director made one, but they don't sell it here in the US, so I can't check it out.

    I don't see what's so horny about a show where everyone is cooking food that's so good that it makes all of your clothes explode off you and causes you to orgasm

    Oh wait, yeah I guess I get it

    The manga artist did hentai before Food Wars and it becomes very obvious immediately.

    I watched exactly one episode of Food Wars, and decided I needed to watch something way less horny.

    So I watched Keijo instead.

    Wait until you find out about all the manga spinoffs.

    There's one where the only thing that got rubberized was his dick, which he uses to punch people with and as a vine to swing from trees. To be fair, it only lasted for two volumes. But on the other hand, after one volume, someone said "Yeah, we need more of this."

    I don't know why, but this conversation reminded me Ben-To was a show that existed. Basically "What if 7-11 was 7-11, but also a fight club?"

    I miss that kind of nonsense.

    Food Wars is like, 50% horney, 40% typical battle shonen nonsense, and then 10% actually interesting cooking/restaurant scenes.

    It's junk food, but vaguely digestible junk food for the first half or so before the plot jumps completely off the rails.
