Spring anime, and into summer
Jun. 29th, 2025 08:23 ampetrea_mitchell posting in anime_manga(Crossposted from my journal.)
Apocalypse Hotel was great. Just great. Go watch it. It's definitely on my Hugo ballot next year.
Kowloon Generic Romance ended very well, even if the finale didn't quite have time to spell out every last detail of what was going on. Presumably the manga, which is ending soon, will be able to explain better. Recommended with some disclaimers: there are some very male-gaze camera angles at first but they stop after episode 2, and there is someone who initially appears to be a depressingly stereotypical queer villain but ultimately becomes three-dimensional and far more sympathetic.
Zatsu Tabi continued to be exactly what it appeared to be, a low-key story about travel and introduction to some of Japan's lesser-known tourist attractions.
Sword of the Demon Hunter is continuing into summer, but I have to say this: The choice to fridge someone in the first episode wound up feeling more and more out of place as the story went on. The subsequent story isn't grimdark at all; eventually it's about a guy hanging out in a soba shop with his friends and taking on jobs with an emphasis on how his work heals the community. Even the demons are mostly sympathetic at this point. So I'm not sure why the author chose to do that, other than he couldn't think of another way to get the protagonist out of his comortable village life and out into the world.
For next season, the shows I'm looking at fall into three categories:
Shows I am truly interested in checking out: Bullet/Bullet, Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show, The Earthbound Mole, Onmyo Kaiten Re: Birth Verse
Show I would be checking out if it weren't on Netflix: The Summer Hikaru Died
Shows I should be excited about on paper but am not really: Cute High Earth Defense Club Haikara!, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 part 2, Ruri Rocks

X-Men #19 Preview - Well, here goes..
Jun. 29th, 2025 01:28 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailySo... the preview for X-Men #19 is out.
As you might imagine, the premise of Doug Ramsey becoming Revelation, the "Heir of Apocalypse", is not one that has greatly impressed me, as it seems to run counter to his whole nature, but I try to be open to new things so here's hoping.
( So how is it going so far? )

What a lucky guy
Finished Episode 2 of the Dirty Pair series and will continue it as much as I get the time to do do so.
Speaking of Anime watching, am also resuming All Purpose Cultural Catgirl Nuku Nuku (say that ten times fast,) which I haven't got to finish it ever since I owned a VHS tape with a couple episodes long ago. That's something I need to rectify.
Also trying to finish Patlabor the Mobile Police to move on to other series like Dr. Stone and the last season of My Hero Academia. There are other series I'm eyeing but for now, I'm trying to finish what I had watched before in order to move forward.

Watching Dirty Pair
Jun. 28th, 2025 01:48 amfennectik posting in anime_manga
Up till now I've only watched the OAVs and the reboot Dirty Pair Flash which didn't attract me as much as the old timy whimy series. I never even knew a series existed until I stumbled into them on youtube. I gotta say there's a lot of what you can learn from here which potentially connects to said OAVs, and the 80s scifi feel of its phenomenal.
Dirty Pair is a gallant guilty pleasure of mine.
Metamorpho, the Element Man #6 (final issue) - "Sacrifice of the Hero Sun!"
Jun. 27th, 2025 05:34 pmlaughing_tree posting in scans_daily
Anyway in this issue REX MASON DIES! That's right! I killed him in a fit of pique and I'd do it again! But like the murder on the Orient Express, I wasn't the only hand holding the knife! Steve Lieber laughed maniacally as he drew it! Lee Loughridge colored it in a blind red rage of fury! Ferran Delgado howled curses at a blood moon as he picked out the perfect font for the Stardust the Super Wizard joke! We're all taking it very badly, reader, and after you read this fantabulous final issue - so will you! -- Al Ewing
