    In hindsight, it's wonderful that this is going to be more fondly remembered as the superior adaptation of Sabrina(and Salem).

    what does the writing on the second stand behind her say?

    It's a Chinese bootleg, and all the other text there that's not English/katakana is Chinese, so... something in Chinese.

    Possibly, though in the manga, that's always in katakana. "优雅" does appear to be "elegant" in Chinese, but the first kanji there is unused in Japanese.

    I feel like Yofukashi no Uta/Call of the Night is scratching a lot of the same itches that I was enjoying from the Monogatari series, but without most of the lows of Monogatari series so far (I really wish the main character were like, 18 instead of 14, but otherwise)

    Still dialogue heavy, focused on vibes, with occasional bursts of action

    Also I've liked this mangaka's art style even since Dagashi Kashi and am frankly liking this way more than I did the previous series

    For those that want their trashy isekai with a little more flair, BONE DADDYOverlord S4 has been up for a while. Read the Light Novels until the end of S3 years ago, so that's on the backlog.

    Last night I watched the first 45 minutes of a Youtube video that compiled the JoJo OVA into one 2.5 hr movie.

    And man, that OVA just starts. It offers you nothing in terms of exposition.
    Me: So, who are these characters?
    OVA: Shut up.
    Me: Okay, but why are they in the desert?
    OVA: I said shut up!
    Me: What are they doing? What is this adventure?!?
    OVA: SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
    Me: I just want to know what's happening.
    OVA: What's happening is they are being hunted by a sinister puddle.
    Me: Ya got me, I'm all in on whatever bullshit this is...

    One thing I don't get about Overlord is why they had him be double-isekai'd when they don't ever do anything with it.

    He's a guy playing a video game that got sucked into his character, and then his character's entire fortress got sucked into an entirely different fantasy world. But aside from some lip service at the beginning, nothing is ever really done with that first part (in what I've seen).

    They could have sidestepped it by just skipping straight to him just being a demon lord who's fortress gets warped to another world instead of a guy playing as a demon lord.

    Did the anime get Myth & Roid to do another song? I usually like their stuff.

    The closest they get to the first part is that he's generally not particularly intelligent. He's an average Salaryman, and all that entails, so while his servants are vastly more intelligent at various things than he is, they're blinded by their absolute devotion to see that he's hoping the tiger tail doesn't slip from his fingers.

    I find that a lot of Isekai series just kind of use the Isekai element as an easy on boarding and then by like half a dozen chapters it may as well never come up again.

    That said, I don't k ow what Overlord is even supposed to be "about", and I read most of it.

    Meandering would be putting it lightly.

    Yeah, most isekais abandon relevance of a prior world within a couple episodes

    It's why it was kind of wild when RE:Zero dealt with that stuff in season 2 and had Subaru actually wrestling with his past self and the emotional consequences of what his family would be dealing with

    In a recent episode of season 4 I got the impression that Ainz basically wants to create something that the other players in his MMO guild would enjoy if they ever somehow appeared in this new world. Maybe on some level he just wants his old guild buddies back. Having them show up and not react the way Ainz is hoping for could be interesting.

    Yeah if you want context for the OVA you either have to read the Stardust Crusaders manga or watch the more recent anime adaptation of the whole thing.
    I think the OVA is a higher quality adaptation of that finale section of Stardust Crusaders than the full anime, personally.

    Honestly the first half of Stardust Crusaders is weak enough that I don't feel it a big deal to skip a bunch of it. It has some standout moments but for the most part most of the good stuff is after they get to Egypt.

    One thing I liked about Cautious Hero (end of season spoilers)...
    ...was the reveal that this was actually the second time he had been isekai'd. The first time he was your typical carefree adventurer and he fucked up royally and doomed the entire fantasy world he had been sent to.

    Though his memory of that got wiped when he was returned to Japan, he left a message for himself on his status window that he needs to be extraordinarily cautious and apparently that had the effect of engraving it onto his very being.

    The sequel hook (which I guess you'd have to read the books to see since I'm not sure if it's getting a second season) was that saving this second fantasy world gives him the opportunity to go back and try to save that first one that he doomed.

    So while it didn't really delve into his life in Japan, it did still make the fact that he was isekai'd an important plot point.

    Overlord has a lot of subtext, foreshadowing, and small details that are hard to spot in the anime assuming they made it in the anime in first place. For example there is evidence that the crazy yandere princess betrayed her kingdom back at the end of season 2.
