ShonenCat Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Kaiji: Against All Rules (episodes 1-26)Everyone’s favorite survivor returns in this exciting yet nerve racking second season that puts a spin on more traditional types of gambling. It may not be as outside the box as the first season, but that doesn’t stop Kaiji from being the anime it truly is. Still packed with its genius writing, portrayal of emotion and unique character design that truly works for this type of sub-genre. The stakes are higher than ever and there is never a dull moment, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. A lot of anime usually put me to sleep, but Kaiji is anything but boring.. in fact it’s spectacular! Yes, even if you’re not fond of gambling. Kaiji is capable of taking something as mundane as a tissue box and turning it into a heart pounding scenario. I have always associated pachinko machines with the likes of Konami every time they came to mind, but ohohoho, after watching Kaiji, I’ll never look a pachinko machine the same way ever again ? I was glued to the screen from nearly start to finish, having watched the last 16 episodes of this season in one sitting! That has to be a new record for me. Kaiji’s character still makes it easy as ever to put myself in his shoes, making him one of the most relatable and likable characters I’ve seen in many recent years. So much so, he has made my top 10 anime protagonists list ?? Even though the anime has finished its run, I’m still left wanting more. This show is a very addictive substance indeed I pray that the manga gets fully translated someday so that I can experience the arcs that never got adapted into anime. Zawa zawa!

Phantochi Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 This anime is based on the Akiba's Trip video game, or the game is based on the anime? Don't know for sure, but i started watching this during my first playthrought of the game, and you can read my review for the game here if you want. The basis behind both the game and this anime is that it revolve around these particular species that are similar to vampires, and just like vampires they will die under sunlight if they are exposed enough, and to defeat these creatures, you must strip them. That's it. Simple. This anime have an original story using the basis of the game, the vampire-like species, but all characters are unique to the anime, none of them show up in the game or vice-versa, but the story was a shit storm, nothing really got accomplished, it was just a whole anime of side quests, all episodes are pretty much a bunch small stories that focuses big time on paroding different otaku/nerd stuff, which is the hit & miss part about it, you may find yourself laughing your ass off at one episode and being bored on the next one, two episodes that had me laughing in tears, was the Yu-Gi-Oh episode and the WWE parody episode, you can't watch those two with a straight face. The final few episodes are the actual plot of the story, nothing spectacular and pretty straight forward. For the characters, nothing really is original. Personally, this is the low point of the anime. Something weird about the characters is that the main characters were animated very nicely, but all of the side characters look like south park Canadians, no idea why. So yeah, despite poor characters and an unfocused story line, i had fun with some of the 13 episodes. But i would rather play the game again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched Absolute Duo before that gets recommended. TIA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantochi Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This goes to the top of the trash isekai list. Assassin's pride is an anime with a forgettable and boring story with characters that are as interesting as watching grass grow, this is an anime that you’ll have trouble enjoying. With bad fight scenes and a rough power system, even looking at this show as a generic power fantasy will leave you disappointed. The only way I would recommend this show is if you have fun trash talking about bad anime, but don’t be surprised when you’re checking how long is left of the episode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelectiveGamer Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I finished Serial Experiments Lain last week. I can't really say all that much about it unfortunately. I had no idea what was going on from start to end. But I think that was the point? Regardless it was quite the ride and I enjoyed every moment of it. I guess? lol Anyway I wanted another short series to watch so I've settled on this one... Fractale. It has a lot of negative reviews on MAL but I've never cared about reviews. I just judge things for myself (like video games). Seems fine so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Leon Castle Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko Episode 11-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 10 Ryouma Takebayashi dies in his sleep at the age of 39 after leading a life of misfortune. Taking pity on him, three deities offer him the chance to reincarnate in a world of magic where he has only one mission: to be himself and enjoy life. They bestow upon Ryouma powerful physical abilities as well as the affinity to master all elements, and promise to watch over him. His new life as a young child officially starts when he is teleported into a forest. Three years go by. Having spent most of his time researching slimes, Ryouma has managed to evolve unique kinds of slimes, training an army of them while developing his magic abilities. Although the young boy is happy with his hermit existence and comfortable cave home, he somewhat misses the company of humans. But after healing an injured member of a passing group of travelers from a duke's household, Ryouma is persuaded to go with them and exit the forest accompanied by his menagerie of slimes. A whole new world awaits him, where his skills as a magic user and slime tamer continue to elicit surprise and admiration. Maesetsu! Episode 10-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 8 The anime centers on four girls at the full bloom of their youth, working hard to achieve their dreams as they struggle valiantly.

Finding a way to turn the Infernals back into people, unraveling the mystery of the Evangelist and Adolla Burst, and saving his mother and Shou—these are the goals Shinra has in mind. However, he has come to realize that attaining these goals will not be easy, especially with the imminent danger the Evangelist poses. The Evangelist's plan is clear: to gather the eight pillars—the individuals who possess Adolla Burst—and sacrifice them to recreate the Great Cataclysm from 250 years ago. Having been revealed by the First Pillar that the birth of a new pillar is approaching, Shinra is determined to protect his fellow pillars from the Evangelist. Thus, the fiery battle between the Special Fire Force and the Evangelist ignites. Together with the Special Fire Force, Shinra's fight continues as he uncovers the truth about the Great Cataclysm and the nature of Adolla Bursts, as well as the mysteries behind human combustion. 100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru Episode 1-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 9 Yotsuya Yuusuke along with his classmates Shindou Iu and Hakozaki Kusue have been transported to a strange and unknown world inhabited by mythological creatures. As soon as they arrive, they meet somebody calling himself the Game Master who then grants them a time-limited quest. To aid them in this quest, he also bestows Shindou and Hakozaki with the roles of a Magician and a Warrior while Yotsuya is randomly granted the role of... a Farmer?! This is how a hectic life of adventuring began for three students who now have no choice, but to complete random quests for several phases in the fantasy world if they want to stay alive and protect the real world from the demons and monsters they encounter. Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Episode 10-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 10 Fifteen-year-old Yuna prefers staying home and obsessively playing her favorite VRMMO to doing anything else, including going to school. When a strange new update gives her a one-of-a-kind bear outfit that comes with overpowered abilities, Yuna is torn: the outfit is unbearably cute, but too embarrassing to wear in-game. But then she suddenly finds herself transported into the world of the game, facing down monsters and magic for real, and the bear suit becomes the best weapon she has! Iwa Kakeru!: Sport Climbing Girls Episode 1-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 9 Konomi Kasahara, a junior high school girl, has made a big name after winning numerous competitive puzzle game tournaments. The story begins when she finds a sports climbing club in her high school. Using special skills other than that of puzzle games, Kasahara becomes fascinated with climbing. Assault Lily: Bouquet Episode 10-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 10 In the near future, humanity faces imminent destruction from mysterious creatures known as "Huge." The world wages war against the Huge, and develops the anti-weapon "CHARM" (Counter Huge Arms) by combining science and magic. CHARM works more effectively when used by teenage girls, and those who use the weapons are revered as "Lilies." The Lilies are trained at military academies called "Gardens," which also serve as bases to protect and advise people. This is a story about girls who aim to become Lilies so they can protect Earth. Kimi to Boku no Saigo no Senjou, Aruiwa Sekai ga Hajimaru Seisen Episode 10-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 9 A great war has raged for years between the scientifically advanced Empire and Nebulis, the realm of the witches―until the youngest knight ever to receive the title of the Empire's strongest meets the princess of the rival nation. Though they are sworn enemies, the knight is taken by her beauty and dignity, and the princess is moved by his strength and way of life. Will the fighting between them ever be allowed to end? Adachi to Shimamura Episode 10-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 9 The second floor of the gym―this was where we always met. It was class time, but of course, there weren't any classes going on in a place like this. This was where Shimamura and I became friends. We hung out here―talking about TV shows and cooking, playing some ping pong... This is where we fostered our friendship. Keeping my head propped against the wall, I let out a small sigh. What was this feeling? Yesterday, I'd dreamt of me and Shimamura kissing. Not that I'm like that. I'm sure Shimamura isn't either. It's not even something worth repeating myself about, but really, it's not like that. It's just that when she hears the word "friend," I want her to think of me first. That's all. Rail Romanesque Episode 1-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 8 Dogeza de Tanondemita Episode 1-2 D4DJ: First Mix Episode 1-5 Senyoku no Sigrdrifa Episode 10-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 10 The Pillars suddenly appeared above Earth, threatening all life. A god who called himself Odin came to the aid of humanity as it was driven to near complete defeat. To counter the Pillars, Odin declared a counterattack by bequeathing humanity with the battle maidens Valkyries and the "herocraft" as their wings. Several years later, the battle between humanity and Pillars rages on, with men supporting the Valkyries as they soar through the treacherous skies to save the world. Japan is no exception. Three Valkyries confront the giant Pillar looming over sacred Mt. Fuji. Each Valkyrie is skilled, but each also has issues. And now, an ace pilot has arrived from Europe. "Now is the time to fight back, humanity. The day of reckoning has arrived. The time of Ragnarok draws nears." Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Visitor Arc Episode 11-13 (Finished) Enjoyment level 10 Shiba Miyuki's classmate Kitayama Shizuku is on her way to study abroad. For magicians, this is normally impossible, since allowing the genes of someone who can use magic outside their home country's borders is tantamount to giving up national secrets. But it's allowed to happen in one case-exchange programs. And that's how Angelina Kudou Shields has arrived in Japan from the USNA to study at First High. Around the time Lina arrived in Japan magicians began getting attacked by a mysterious being who leaves his victims drained of blood. Will Tatsuya be able to discover the identity of the "Vampire"? Tonikaku Kawaii Episode 11-12 (Finished) Enjoyment level 10 Nasa Yuzaki is determined to leave his name in the history books. Ranking first in the national mock exam and aiming for a distinguished high school, he is certain that he has his whole life mapped out. However, fate is a fickle mistress. On his way home one snowy evening, Nasa's eyes fall upon a peerless beauty across the street. Bewitched, Nasa tries to approach her—only to get blindsided by an oncoming truck. Thankfully, his life is spared due to the girl's swift action. Bleeding by the side of an ambulance, he watches as the girl walks away under the moonlight—reminiscent of Princess Kaguya leaving for the moon. Refusing to let this chance meeting end, he forces his crippled body to chase after her and asks her out. Surprised by his foolhardiness and pure resolve, the girl accepts his confession under a single condition: they can only be together if he marries her! Munou na Nana Episode 11-13 (Finished) Enjoyment level 9 Fifty years ago, horrific creatures dubbed as the "enemies of humanity" suddenly appeared around the world. To combat these threats, teenagers gifted with supernatural abilities called "Talents"—such as pyrokinesis and time travel—hone their powers at an academy on a secluded island. Nanao Nakajima, however, is quite different from the others on the island: he has no Talent. With many "Talented" teenagers around him, Nanao is often a target for bullying, but even so, he still strives to complete his training. Soon after, two transfer students, the mysterious Kyouya Onodera and the mind-reading Nana Hiiragi, join the class. But just as everyone starts blending as comrades-in-arms, mysterious disappearances begin to threaten the class's entire foundation. Strike Witches: Road to Berlin Episode 1-3 Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken OVA Episode 4-5 (Finished) Enjoyment level 10 Rimuru has been teaching Shizue's students at Ingracia Kingdom's Freedom Academy. The time has come for the school's annual outdoor training event, where the students will test their combat skills in the field.

Holo's dislike of Norah—due to both the latter's profession and her closeness with Lawrence—prevents her from enjoying her meal. When Holo falls ill from fatigue, she is cared for by Lawrence, who frets over the health of his dear companion. As she regains her strength, Holo reminisces about the adventures they had together. Episode 1-12:Traveling merchant Kraft Lawrence continues his northward journey with wolf goddess Holo, in search of her lost home of Yoitsu. Lawrence and his sharp-witted partner continue to make some small profits along the way, while slowly uncovering more information about Holo's hometown. However, the road to Yoitsu is a bumpy one filled with many troubles—Lawrence runs into a charming young fellow merchant who has his eyes set on the female wolf companion, and he begins to doubt if Holo will remain by his side; he and the goddess will also have to consider precarious and risky business deals as Lawrence strives to achieve his dream of becoming a shopowner. All the while, with his determination tested at every turn during his journey, Lawrence must question his relationship with Holo, take on business ventures, and ask himself whether it is time for him and Holo to go their separate ways. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
