    It's kind of a shame Call of the Night eventually goes full vampire DBZ, the down-to-earth nightlife stuff is exactly what I loved about it

    Call of the Night anime comes out this week. The main vampire girl is voiced by Aqua's Japanese voice actress.

    I'm not sure how the anime will go, since most of the beginning of the manga is a slice of life about nightlife and such, and doesn't really get into the mysteries or vampire fights until quite a bit later.

    Then again, I haven't seen the Tonikaku Kawaii anime. Was it all slice of life stuff without getting into...
    ...his wife being an immortal who has been around for 1,400 years?

    About Tonikaku Kawaii anime
    They start dropping hints about her from the beginning, but the actual reveal is no where close in the anime. It's mostly just fluffy newlywed romcom.

    I really wanted to watch Call of the Night; it's a shame it ended up on HiDive.

    When all anime was divided between Crunchyroll and Funimation, you could subscribe to one and watch commercials on the other. Now I think I'll actually miss a few shows every season I want to watch.

    god I just remembered all the human kids are like 13 in call of the night and it makes the relationship drama driving the action plot currently extra funny/weird

    The main characters in Bastard are explicitly stated as being 14 in the manga. Pretty sure the new anime wisely wrote that bit out.

    Robotech isn't like One Piece or anything, but I imagine HG make more than enough off licensing the brand to comics, tabletop games, etc, to comfortably keep them afloat.

    (From what I've heard, they're pretty lax with licensing out Macross, as long as you slap their stupid logo on it in plain sight.)

    Most of it is worth that much, but Devil Survivor 2 was only $5(and I actually liked the show), so I was sold.

    I was a bit off an odd one out, as I didn't particularly care if the main two got together as I didn't think they were that good a match, and just because the dude likes her doesn't mean they should get together. This ending kind of fit the college students fucking around theme. Though yeah, it also easily could have just been any other regular chapter since nothing stood out as it being the ending. Could have at least have had the main girl have to move out of her apartment, as that had been the series' primary hangout spot.

    Wow that's a lot of series. I don't know a lot of these, but of the ones I do recognize, here are the ones I have positive things to say about:
    Amagi Brilliant Park: Story about some misfits trying to run a theme park and keep it from going under. A high quality Kyoto Animation series.
    Angelic Layer: Tournament battle story where the mode of competition is robotic dolls that are brought to life in the battle arena.
    Armored Trooper VOTOMs: Slightly less famous than Gundam and Macross mecha anime from the 80s, I hear people talk about it positively but I've never seen it myself.
    Aura Battler Dunbine: Same comments as VOTOMs, semi-famous 80s mecha series I haven't seen, the robots are powered by magic though I think?
    Big O: I always enjoyed this on Toonami back in the day, kind of a nonsense plot but it's cool and very nicely animated.
    Bodacious Space Pirates: Fun sci-fi story about a high school girl who inherits a space letter of marque and the space pirate ship and crew that go with it.
    Cobra the Animation: A classic, fairly influential 80s sci-fi action anime.
    Flip Flappers: I don't really understand the plot but this series was a fun trip. Surrealist magical girl deconstruction, I guess? The girls are pretty gay but it's not horny.
    Flying Witch: Good slice of life show about an apprentice witch who moves back to the countryside.
    Girls' Last Tour: A surreal and melancholy story about two high school girls who got drafted right before the world ended and wander around the post-apocalypse in their half-track military transport.
    Gourmet Girl Graffiti: Don't let the box art fool you, this is a very wholesome slice of life show about cooking, enjoyed this one a lot.
    HaNaYaMaTa: A fun slice of life/sports anime about a style of japanese cheer dancing.
    Hello KinMoza/Kirino Mozaic: Cutesy slice of life about some Japanese high school girls and British exchange students being friends.
    Hozuki's Coolheadedness: Very funny series about the daily lives of the oni who's secretary to King Enma in (Buddhist? Japanese Buddhist?) hell. I loved this series.
    Initial D: GAS, GAS, GAS, I'M GONNA STEP ON THE GAS, TONIGHT, I'LL FIGHT, AND BE YOUR LOVER
    Maoyu: Fantasy romance between the human Hero and the Demon King as they try to fix medieval human civilization so it sucks less and they will stop attacking the demons, by using politics, economics and science. This appealed to me greatly but the anime only got one season so it cuts off partway through the story.
    Monster Musume: Horny-ass harem anime about a guy and his house full of sexy anime half-monster ladies who want to bone him. This show is trashy in the classic harem anime tradition, but I did enjoy it a bit.
    Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun: Romantic comedy (emphasis on the comedy) about a high school boy manga author who has a monthly published series in a manga magazine targeted at girls, but is clueless about love himself so the girl who has a crush on him ends up helping him with his work. It's hilarious, I love this series.
    Non Non Biyori: Extremely chill slice of life anime about young kids living in rural Japan.
    Patlabor: Classic early 90s mecha anime about the adventures of the giant robot police squad.
    Squid Girl: Comedy slice of life about an energetic anthropomorphized squid girl child who washes up on the beach and starts living with a local family.
    The Demon Girl Next Door: Cute comedy about a ditzy girl who discovers she's a demon when her horns and tail suddenly grow in one day, and her adventures with her magical girl classmate friend.
    The Familiar of Zero: An older proto-isekai action/romance light novel adaptation that predates the big boom of these after Sword Art took off, Japanese boy gets zapped to a magic school in fantasy world as the familiar of an arrogant pipsqueak mage girl who can't admit she likes him. It's fairly rote now but I found it entertaining back in the day when these tropes were less worn out.

    That’s kinda where I’m leaning with the Sakura wars anime. I’ve been aware of the game series for a long time but never played it and the blu ray is 9 bucks.

    Devil Survivor 2 is a solid show, especially if you're into SMT. Better animation budget than the P4 adaptation, too(surprisingly).

    Votoms is a dull show, but if nothing else, you can appreciate how influential it must have been on later, better shows.

    And the OP rocks:

    I don't wanna be the guy who's like 'no you see it sucks on purpose' but the first half of votoms is very deliberately attempting to make chirico's war seem like an unrewarding slog

    Shame it bounces back and forth between BD and DVD. :/

    There's 8 DVDs (I'm assuming that's the whole series) but for some reason only 3 Blu-Rays. You might have an easier time picking them out from the series page.

    The new Bastard! adaption is out and... appropriately silly.
    (And doesn't shy away from how problematically 90s it is, warts and all.)
    Seeing it pop up on Netflix brought back all sorts of nostalgic memories. I experienced that show before internet got popular, a group of enthusiasts rented a small theatre once a year and did free showings of the various anime they'd imported. It's also how I first experienced Urotsukidoji (ohboy...), Grave of the Fireflies, Lupin the 3rd and a bunch of other fun stuff.

    Even back then in my teenage years I thought Bastard!! was far too horny for its own good, but also fun as heck, so I'm curious how I'll find it now. Also, I am amused the 1992 OVA was more on model with that hydra than the new one is.
