@AllAnimeMag So pretty!
@moleSG I have several manga Sasaki to Miyano volumes at home! Ashamed to say, some are still unread 😂
Another recommendation? 😎
@moleSG is there anything similar to watch next?
🆕 #Anime Movie Review
The Stranger by the Shore
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Sweet, easy to watch romantic story in a Japanese island. Shun and Mio are 20-something and fall in love with each other...
🔗 https://anime.ricard.blog/reviews/the-stranger-by-the-shore/
@scribbbleanime it's fine if we take a break here and there 😁
Currently reading: The Promised Neverland volume 14
It has started great! Plot twist 😯
Mamahaha no Tsurego ga Motokano datta 1x1
I came across a funny scene from this series on Instagram and thought I wanted to enjoy something short, light, and (as it turns out) somewhat ecchi 😳
Animation is modern but of course I don't expect anything deep, nor dramatic 👌 I mean, the title is: "My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex" 🤭
#Anime#MamahahaNoTsuregoGaMotokanoDatta#MyStepmomDaughterIsMyEx
#TougenAnki 1x19
Mikado is quite nonsensical and easy to fool. First, he was so sure his friend was real. Then saw him inside a burning building and made a 180º turn "you're evil I must kill you"
I understand some Momotaro having a personal vendetta against some Oni, but Mikado doesn't seem to have any reason to kill them. I don't know, talk to your supposed friend to understand?
When you thought the fight was over... I'm ready to be done with this story, though.
An all-out battle promises to be interesting. Let us see how they animated the following episodes.
I've spent the weekend gaming rather than watching #anime
I need to catch up to the weekly releases and to our #animeWatchAlong
(If only gaming would turn out at it does for Yamada-kun)
@scribbbleanime I appreciate the spoiler-free commentary 😁
@scribbbleanime The story does get a bit too complex for my taste after the kids leave the farm. Deeper than you could initially think.
I have only watched season 1 of the anime, which is why I wanted to start the manga, and now I have the full story box set at home.
I did read reviews about the anime season 2 not being good, like, not being well-adapted from the original material.
I don't know, we'll see once I'm done. 7 volumes to go.
@scribbbleanime First thing I noticed in your review: the art style. Not my favorite. I would already have to make an effort to start an anime looking like that.
Currently reading: The Promised Neverland, volume 13
Halfway through the story. Full of drama.
@IkkleGemzUniverse Lucky! Share a photo!
> The steel supporting structure that this character would need to wear to prevent crippling spinal issues.
Gold.
@scribbbleanime I'm a very slow reader, so this year I only managed 3 (also due to my change to manga reading)
- Artificial Condition (The Murderbot Diaries, #2) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Know Thy Enemy (Grimm’s War, #5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@scribbbleanime I always like to read space operas while commuting to my school.
Lately, though, I've switch books for manga, as I have quite some volumes I need to read from several series 😅
@moleSG Nice use of our #AnimeWatchAlong 😁
I was not expecting to see Naruto in this series.
Shiori's speeches are quite annoying. The only good thing is, she's honest; she wants her dead in her stomach.
@scribbbleanime such a hateful side character 🤬
#TougenAnki 1x18
I can't wait until this fool gets his teeth kicked in. If I were the author, I'd kill more characters, raise the stakes. Especially these know-it-alls who think they're better than the rest.
@SophiaHoppia you got this! 😎
@IkkleGemzUniverse The shrimps look fantastic, I need double though 😋
@scribbbleanime Looking forward the food anime "The food diary of Miss Maid"! 😋 These are always nice.
@IkkleGemzUniverse Yay! 🥳
@nyantadotwav amazing, thank you. Some on the list I've never heard about!
@nyantadotwav Noragami and Durarara were great, is there anything similar I could watch?
This monster wants to eat me, Ep.4 spoilers
@moleSG It's possible that we're being misled, and as you suggest, Miko-chan is just good. It would be a pleasant surprise. Enough of this darkness! 😂
We're very close to the end. Finally reached where everything began. ♻️
Losing each of the powers as he fights doesn't look good. I have the feeling the story will end with Deku having no powers, "back to the origin". I would not like that 👎
@IkkleGemzUniverse Ah, just the other day @scribbbleanime posted about it
What the heck happened here?! The double cross... unbelievable!
I have no words. This happened to me, I need to leave the city, country, and continent. The betrayal is too much. It makes the cannibal mermaid look like the good character!
#TougenAnki 1x17
Cool fight, but I wanted Mudano to be more ruthless. I wanted Mudano to finish the Momotaro. They sold us the story that Mudano has killed hundreds, so I'd like to see more of it.
Kougasaki's backstory was brutal. I hope he gets the vengeance he deserves. We need to see his biological father pay for this.
Ichinose was all of us with watery eyes.
How far this show has gone.
Good fight. The whole trying to save him at all costs is still far-fetched to me. I just don't understand it.
How many more episodes until the fight is over? This must have a happy ending.
#Gachiakuta 1x18
Guns are supposed to be more powerful than giant scissors in this world?
I'm losing interest in this series. I don't get what's going on with the raiders. The fights are frustrating, and most of the characters are annoying.
@scribbbleanime This is indeed a dialogue-heavy show.
@moleSG no anime watching, enjoy the views! 😁
Currently reading: Blue Exorcist volume 10
This is the last volume I own and it seems to start a new story arc. Not sure if I'll continue buying. I need to catch up on other #manga
🆕 Manga Review
"Blue Exorcist - Volume 9"
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
These volumes are always packed with dialogue, which is a very different take on other shonen, usually just full of action panels.
Yukio is starting to come around, but he’s not there yet.
➡️ https://manga.ricard.blog/reviews/blue-exorcist/volume/9/
#Gachiakuta 1x17
Poor Zanka, his backstory is interesting. He was training to fight Givers. Too bad they've cut it short, and we don't know how he ended up a Giver.
Ultimately, they tricked us into a complete defeat. He was hallucinating all along.
Description of characters with depression and suicidal ideation
@moleSG Precisely what I thought. Shiori wants her to improve her mental health to achieve a more delicious taste.
Maybe the story will evolve like this, she will not be eaten at the end, but this process will get her out of depression.
@AllAnimeMag congratulations!
@moleSG go looks very complicated! Keep it up!
:blobcat_sadlife: I feel bad for Miko-chan. Here comes this demon, and Hinako falls for it, saying she's kind and whatnot. Miko-chan is not kind? Hurtful 👎
#AnimeWatchAlong I don't know, we dropped #LetsPlay, but this one is not that much more interesting 😅
Bakugo's redemption arc completed ✅
Yoichi's backstory was sad, sticking with his insane brother until the very end.
I'm glad the story is almost over because there's no going back after this power surge. Bakugo, number 1 hero?
#TougenAnki 1x16
Kougasaki and Ichinose's relationship seems to have strengthened this episode.
In the end, the main character, like in a shonen, is good to his core, selfless. Kougasaki seems to have never had true friends, good for him.
Such a cliffhanger, I want to see Mudano go all out. I hope they spent the proper budget on the next fight.
Another #AnimeWatchAlong ! Here we go.
This anime is dark, main character wants to get reunited with her dead relatives!? 🫠
An evil spirit wants to grant her wish, after eating her 😳
Thank God for Miko-chan for brightening the episode and making her best to help her friend. This is all very gloomy 😔
Can we talk about the elephant in the room? How did this mermaid evil spirit fill out valid transfer student paperwork? 😂
🆕 Anime Rant
"Let's Play"
The story is all over the place, although with an interesting topic. Game development, with the added drama of work/office life, and social anxiety…
@moleSG and I were doing an #AnimeWatchAlong but decided to drop it ❌
Here my take ➡️ https://anime.ricard.blog/rants/lets-play/
@closetweeb Still need to catch up to "This Monster Wants to Eat Me"
I hope @moleSG and @scribbbleanime also have it on their watch list for the weekend 😁
@moleSG let's do it, we still have those 3 others we said we would watch along
@moleSG "reverse harem" 😂
Are continuing or dropping? Not sure if there are more interesting things out there.

Marshmallow is trying his best to make it up to Sam.
I don't love how Sam seems to be very little self-critical. Saying that your game is awesome... I don't know, if it were that good, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation.
What's up with this Link guy, anyway? I hope we eventually see Marshmallow and Sam's relationship grow beyond mortal enemies.
🎮 Playing: Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
I'm 8 shrines away from having them all!
Soon...
#TougenAnki 1x15
Nothing really happened, just the two pro Oni showing off their cool tricks and the students getting a dose of reality. Although they are very determined to get involved. Good for them.
I want to see Mudano go all out. Back in the Kyoto arc, his role was rather bland.
@closetweeb Panic intensifies... 😨
@scribbbleanime I'm not sure about how Yuri this is just yet.
Unless "eating her" was a metaphor for something R-rated 😏
#LetsPlay 1x3
A young girl dressed like a doll is a better therapist than most of the paid professionals 😂
Finally! It took you long enough, Sam 👏
Will Marshmallow do the right thing now? 🤔
PS: Marshall Law should be called Marshmallow, always.
What is going on here? 😂
A girl who has lost his family is so depressed might even attempt suicide; this girl needs professional help 🏥
Then a monster says she'll eat her when the time's right. Not ripe enough, I guess 😳
I hope this first episode is her rock bottom and that we can only get better from here. I don't really need more drama in my life 😅
This is one strange #anime !
#Gachiakuta 1x16
The main fight with Zanka was very well animated, kudos to the team. If only they had the budget to do this across the entire season.
The episode has a major cliffhanger. Wondering if this series will have what it takes, this cliffhanger could end up as nothing or a turning point, making this series way better.
@moleSG I did drop on season 2, don't know, was more of the same (?). Not sure if I should give it another try.
@moleSG@scribbbleanime Nice!
I'll do my best to watch it today. The name of the series has me confused, so I have no idea what to expect. I guess something "serious" 😁
@scribbbleanime thank you! 😁
@moleSG@scribbbleanime sure!
Excellent!
Let's do these in order:
- Blue Spring Ride
- DIVE!!
- Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi
No rush, let's post a mini episode review when you've watched any 😎
@AllAnimeMag Had a great dinner with my family yesterday.
Today I'm flying to Portugal for a seminar, unrelated to my birthday 😂
@AllAnimeMag Thank you very much, Tess!
That cake looks delish!
@AllAnimeMag The bright side is the story is actually done, so we should get closure very soon.
Have you watch Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals?
A great spin off. Back to original concept 💯
➡️ https://anime.ricard.blog/reviews/vigilante-boku-no-hero-academia-illegals-season-1/
@AllAnimeMag The story has spun a bit out of control.
I loved the beginning, the academy time... The current story point (now airing) is a far cry from what got us hooked on the story. The power creep is immense.
@myska Thank you Myska!
Awesome GIF 😁
@moleSG Thank you, Mole!
Oh, I'm so looking forward to Frieren season 2. I hope it delivers.
⚠️ It's my birthday today 🍰
Send me the best #anime birthday image❗
@moleSG I'm also going in blind, no idea what we would get.
Let wait for @scribbbleanime see if he has any preference or recommendation 😎
@moleSG You're totally right, side characters are just part of the background. It might be early in the series, let's see.
Let's watch some more!
@scribbbleanime@moleSG So... what #anime can we watch together?
Anything potentially interesting in your to-watch list from this season?
Here are some series I have in my list, in no particular order nor theme:
- Mission: Yozakura Family
- Blue Spring Ride
- DIVE!!
- The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses
- That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
I have no idea if any of these are good, but I added them to the list for some reason.
Let's brainstorm and decide on which one we can watch along.
@scribbbleanime You wrote:
"alright watched episode 2:13"
That 2:13 got me confused; I still don't know what this means 😂
All good, we drop #MizuZokuseiNoMahoutsukai ❌
Bakugo's redemption arc.
They've turned the power to 11. Remember when they used to throw balls around with their quirks to see how far they could throw during the academy days?
We've been annoyed by Bakugo for many seasons. I hope he can finally get some closure with All Might and Deku.
Is this the first time we've seen him smile like this?
#LetsPlay 1x2
I liked this 2nd episode way more than the first one, as it focused on Marshall and not on everything. Marshall seems like a good dude.
Running half-naked through the park was unnecessary 😂
People indeed tend to avoid conflict, but the main character does have friends and works in an office. It's a bit hard to believe she would have this social anxiety about speaking to Marshall 🤐
I'm still not a big fan of the art style, but it bothered me less today.
@scribbbleanime Would love to find something to watch along also with @moleSG too
We're giving #LetsPlay a try. Want to join?
We'll take the decision if go/drop on episode 2 😁
@scribbbleanime Episode 2:13? Like Season 2? 😂
We're not here to suffer, if we all agree this anime is not good, we drop it 😄
@moleSG I was waiting for you! 😁
Will watch it later today and report back 🫡
#Gachiakuta 1x15
It's getting a bit boring. Now all of a sudden these Raiders are uber strong.
I would have preferred to focus on Rudo and that interesting question from the Raiders' leader.
What are your top isekai anime?
I need recommendations, please!
Something with modern art-style, comedy would be nice, nothing too serious.
#MyFriendLittleSisterHasItInRorMe!
"Tomodachi no Imouto ga Ore ni dake Uzai"
Watched this silly anime the other day. I saw a small reel on Instagram and thought it could be funny or good.
Sadly, it's very cheap, a dude faking to be a boyfriend for one girl, and being sexually teased by another.
I will drop it.
Have you watched it?
@HetareKing You captured my thoughts very well in the first episode. Although before dropping it, I feel it deserves us to try the 2nd episode.
#LetsPlay 1x1
This series's art style is not my favorite.
The topic is somewhat interesting, though. The harsh reality of indie game development, work/office life, and social anxiety.
I will watch another one; dropping it here would be unfair.
Are you following this anime?
@scribbbleanime Yes! Then we can discuss at the same time.
I will wait for you to catch up to episode 3 before moving on 😎
Wondering if maybe this anime is too bland. Episode three, the main character has gotten into the guild.
Next episode, dungeons? Quests?
Give me something different.
"The Water Magician"
Started this fantasy/adventure short anime.
It doesn't seem like anything new so far; the main character dies and goes to this world. Wants a "slow life". Let's see if he can achieve that.
Have you watched it?
Is All Might going to die? Bakugo redemption arc? Is he going to be useful at last?
This season continues to be so dark and gloomy; long are the days this anime was fun. This is pure drama and suffering.
#TougenAnki 1x14
Most of the Momotaro members are simply insane. It is not very well justified that this hunting of Oni "because it has always been like this" or because "these Oni are dangerous". And you're not? 😂
#Gachiakuta 1x14
New opening and ending. Not my favorite.
I was going to say that the show was going a bit downhill, but now we're picking up the pace again with the Raiders kidnapping.
The face-off looked super menacing. Nice!
@scribbbleanime I was going to say there are other hosting platforms, but if you're tired give it a break. I think just writing thoughts is still great.
@myska Agree! Himouto! is good. Now I don't know if I've watched Season 2 🤔
@moleSG It's so good when Yukichi says things like "worthless human" but then blushes when the human praises his cooking 😁
Continues exactly where the last season left off. With a huge power creep, Dragon Ball style.
Found the episode quite boring. The most interesting part was seeing the invisible girl Hagakure, very cool hair!
🆕 Anime Review
"The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today"
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
This was a fun light watch. I live with a black cat, and this is like a dream. First of all, imagine if the cat were this big, how fluffy and warm would that be? Plus, he knows how to cook and does the chores, in exchange for you working and buying food. Sounds like a good deal to me...
➡️ https://anime.ricard.blog/reviews/the-masterful-cat-is-depressed-again-today/
@trashmuppet Evil cat? Love it.
@myska Collecting unread manga volumes.
@myska Not yet! Still some Ao no Exorcist volumes at home unread. I have a problem.
#TougenAnki 1x13
New opening and ending. I don't love them, the previous one were better 😔
Don't you think they abused the cartoonish faces for Shiki this episode? 🙄
Mikado could be an interesting character; the surprise will be big. Let's see.
#Gachiakuta 1x13
This episode was awful 🤦♂️ The mother sells her child for coins to a human trafficker and rapist 💀
This is not what I needed to see. Couldn't we have come up with a less extremely painful backstory? 👎
Sure, the backstory is so horrendous that it explains why Amo is insane in the present day. Who wouldn't be? 🤷
@scribbbleanime Yeah GW2 was good back in the day. I was also surprised to see them release a new expansion rather than work on GW3.
I enjoyed Dennis story, no need to apologize, I think we just wanted more.
🆕 Anime Review
"Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant!"

Recommended by @scribbbleanime
I expected something different from this series. It left me quite indifferent and wanting for more food scenes...
➡️ https://anime.ricard.blog/reviews/welcome-to-the-outcasts-restaurant/
@scribbbleanime alright, you scared me for a moment saying we need to wait until I finish it.
I would've also liked more restaurant focus. The politics bore me.
@scribbbleanime oh, is there a plot twist? Does Dennis die? 😂
@scribbbleanime they can't leave us hanging like this!
#WelcomeToTheOutcastsRestaurant 1x11
One more to finish the series. We finally get to see Vigo and Dennis fight.
The level 100 explanation "always within you" was meh, but what can you do?
Hoping for a happy conclusion of the story in the next one. Everything indicates they'll be fine.
@moleSG you nailed it. It can't be a chore. Do it because you want to write, to enjoy it, for yourself.
@apc Run with the Wind! @moleSG has good taste 😉
#TougenAnki 1x12
✅ Mandatory bath scene.
✅ Mandatory curry scene.
✅ Mandatory spooky stories/sleepover.
A nice change of pace from the death that we came off from the last episodes.
#TougenAnki is one of the few openings I don't skip.
Song is good, and the visuals are kick ass
#Gachiakuta 1x12
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
It was very gratifying to see Rudo beat the shit out of the girl. She's absolutely insane and cruel and deserved even more. She's lucky Enjin was there to stop Rudo.
The cliffhanger was unnecessary, but it's the norm nowadays...
🆕 Anime Rant
"Kaiju No. 8 (Season 2) was too short"
This needed to be 24 episodes. At the moment of this writing, there’s no confirmation for season 3, which is horrible. Just horrible…
@moleSG Well done! Looking forward to read more 😎
#WelcomeToTheOutcastsRestaurant 1x10
Vigo is absolutely insane, so much so that his possibly mortally sick brother ran away from him.
I get his disdain for the noble lords, but they didn't treat him that badly. Or at least they didn't show this in the anime. You would imagine he would calm down after burning the mansion down.
Will we get a fight between Vigo and Dennis?
#SakamotoDays 2x12
Why was Shin wrapped like a cocoon? 😂
The rest of the episode was ok, seeing the assassin classes is interesting. I hope we get more of these 🧑🏫
#TheMasterfulCatIsDepressedAgainToday 1x3
Do people who don't know how to crack an egg really exist?
You can feel Yukichi's pain in this episode, as he has to support her even though she's a useless human at home.
@scribbbleanime I like this reverse watchlist concept!
Spy x Family never stuck with me. I think I watched the first season but I never got around the start season 2. Other more interesting stuff, I suppose.
#KaijuN8 Episode 22
Hoshina and his Kaiju were very funny and very deadly. Animation was very cool for everybody. Shinomiya can fly now, badass.
One episode left for the season, and we're nowhere close to understanding Kaiju number 9, how they think, who they are, or whether they are humans.
#TheMasterfulCatIsDepressedAgainToday 1x2
The cat speaks! Well, to himself.
Very short backstory. This cat is focused. Must assist the owner so she can make money and buy canned cat food—simple logic.
Would love to see the chief and the main character get closer 😏
#TougenAnki 1x11
Zero simpathy for Tsubakiri. The backstory made me feel nothing for him. He was a ruthless asshole who deserved to die. He left countless Oni corpses behind with gruesome deaths.
The best part is how he acted all high and mighty for a few episodes, looking like a final freaking boss. A young, newly discovered Oni student overpowered him. Well, see you in hell.
#Gachiakuta 1x11
⭐ ⭐
This episode was not good.
Someone they don't know recommends taking the mask off: an amateur move to do so. They were supposed to be top Cleaners. Yet...
The moment she says "smell", I don't know, put them back on? C'mon.
The author or director had to include the exposition moment in case the audience hadn't yet understood that her skill was related to smell and brainwashing. That was cheap and unnecessary.
I expected more from this team.
@scribbbleanime it is indeed a happy season for Gojo, having friends at school for the first time and getting accepted was big for him.
@scribbbleanime looking forward to your first impression 😁
@scribbbleanime thank you, getting there. Not fully recovered yet 🤧
@Ragashingo nice review on the blog! Glad to see this is something different then
I'll add it to my to-watch list!
#TheMasterfulCatIsDepressedAgainToday 1x1
This was way more amusing than I thought it would be.
I live with a black cat, and I wouldn't mind if mine were also as big as Yukichi, and cared so much instead of being a black menace.
Will continue to watch. Not sure if it will the story will get old fast.
@Ragashingo first time I hear about #GirlsBandCry
It's not like another K-On, right?
@moleSG Ah you're right, Amane-kun was a good refreshing character 👌
Gojo is indeed very invested now. He's constantly discovering new techniques expanding his toolset. I just wish he would pay a different attention to the girl next to him 😅

Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (Season 2)

My Dress-Up Darling season two barely gets a passing grade.
I hate how the relationship between Gojou and Kitagawa is being teased during the entire season. I don’t know about you, but if you’re shipping them, you get distracted from the other things going on...
➡️ https://anime.ricard.blog/reviews/sono-bisque-doll-wa-koi-wo-suru-season-2/
#MyDressUpDarling 2x12
Such a disappointing season finale. Kitagawa could not muster the courage. It would have been a better cliffhanger if they ended the season with an "I love you". Teasing us for the next one.
Alas, we didn't have anything. I'll write a bigger review on my blog.
@alxdre301 This scene in the anime was so funny! ❤️
Last week I had a business trip, and this weekend I was training with my martial art Master.
I've been sick with a cold for at the past 3 days.
I'm so behind in #anime, my body hurts.
Which one should I watch first?
#SakamotoDays 2x11
Fantastic animation this episode. Full of action, I liked Shin making the effort. The shy dude is a bit annoying.
Overall the explanation on the 0.5 second delay is hard to believe, but well.
Sakamoto saves the day?
#WelcomeToTheOutcastsRestaurant 1x9
I expected something different, I thought the townfolk would have helped Dennis rebuild the restaurant rather than joining forces and going to war.
The reencounter with the master was a bit meh. Maybe they could try having feeling. Or if they have them, manifest them.
@scribbbleanime My anime watching speed has decreased a lot since we started September and got back to work/reality 😂
@scribbbleanime Fun! Not amazing, though
Last episode I watched was number 8, I need to continue
@scribbbleanime you're back! I hope you're feeling better 😷
#Dandadan 2x11
What is going on with this series?
Now we have Kaiju and Meccha—a highly confusing show.
I wanted to see the Evil Eye fight alongside Okarun. Not yet, at least.
@Burnoutdv Totally! It moved to quickly compared to previous ones.
Rudo, in his full-face mask, looks badass.
The episode had a bit of everything. I was going to say this was way too fast, but perhaps that's best. Move the story along.
I don't fully understand what they got from the spellcaster. Will that really protect them? When?

This felt like a final boss fight. The gravity skill is super strong. But of course, our main character could overcome it.
Shiki looks awesome with the flames and the hair in a different color. Very Dragon Ball but cool regardless.
It would be nice if the Momotaro jerk was dead and not the classic "super wounded yet managed to escape". Otherwise, what's all this power for?

Oh, c'mon, that cliffhanger.
Kafka, being Kafka, it was quite natural that he would overthink what his friends thought of him after the secret was uncovered.
The power of friendship heals any wound!

Just one more episode until the season (or series?) finale. Marin and Gojo got nowhere in a full season. They kept on teasing us, but nothing happened.
It is unfair to say I expected more from the story?
I would dislike that they would give us just fan service on the last one and leave us hanging. We shall see.

@scribbbleanime get well soon!
I don't know. Again, the same question I had last episode, where does this "I wanted to get to know you" come from? Is there something they're not telling us?
I'm as lost as Rintaro.
His friends are good friends. I absolutely can not sing, I find it amusing that they go hang out at a karaoke. So "not me" 😁 Would you?
@Endmaker I haven't read the manga but I hope we're wrong and this turns to be more.
This episode had a bit of everything!
It's funny how in all my trips to Japan, I found it to be one of the safest places in the world, there at the top alongside South Korea.
Yet, somehow, we always see these anime scenes with delinquents about to assault or rape young girls. What the heck!?
I need more info on Kaoruko. How does she know Rintaro? Is it just through that window at school?
Our bad-boy-looking main character is just a good dude. Love to see that.
@lvxferre I hope we get there this season, asking for season renewal is always a gamble.
"she doesn’t want to lose his friendship."
Indeed, how can we help her make take the leap? 😁
@mo_lave yeah, that would explain it. Rooting for Gojo, he needs to wake up!
Cool to see Shin acting super mature. The number 1 fan girl is very annoying.
I did like how (hopefully) some of the instructors have died. I like it when characters are killed off for good, and you didn't see it coming.
Not loving this arc so far. How about you?
#SakamotoDays 2x10
Cool to see Shin acting super mature. The number 1 fan girl is very annoying.

Very average episode, lots of talking. Some funny bits here and there, but nothing outstanding.
Gris is back in action, as if nothing had happened.
Can we get some fights in the next one?

@nyan Hopefully 🙏
@scribbbleanime you're right. Gojo looks happy with how things are at the moment. He does not even consider there could be more.
@scribbbleanime Narumi is too goofy. Hoshina's character is more balanced 😁
Not sure who is more strong 🧐
@lvxferre I don't need them to sleep together, just hold hands or go on a date.
Kitagawa can appear half naked at a cosplay convention in front of dozens but can't tell a boy she likes him 🤷
Hoshina is cool and funny 💯
This episode felt quite empty. The sniper ice shot from Reno was all they gave us. The rest was inspirational pep talks for the old captain and the main character.
I wish they would give us more information on the main villain, and not just more regular Kaiju attacks.

This episode should have been titled "Coward".
I'm getting a bit tired of Kitagawa. It does feel like she's taking advantage of Gojo. She eats at his place for free, asks him to do the outfits, but can't be honest with her feelings?
Meh.
Gojo is also so damn clueless. Too young? Not interested in romance?
These episodes disappoint me a bit. They are stringing us along.
@lvxferre She wanted it but she didn't want it. She should make up her mind.

The power-up for all the characters in every episode is exponential.
The gravity puppet looks invincible (so far).
The oversized-breasted woman seemed to have the perfect technique, only to be broken by Jin (a student).
Shiki has his insides destroyed and will probably walk it off next week.
PS: Can we talk about the creepy green-haired dude who wants to sleep with Byobugaura? Jesus...

@trashmuppet thanks! I'll give it a try.
@trashmuppet What anime is this?
@scribbbleanime this anime is not easy to follow 😂
This is an anime what, even if you follow weekly, you're like: what is going on here?
Didn't we see this scene kiss in the past? Does it happen again? When did we see this before? I can't recall.
Then it's like. Oh, right, yeah, we were searching for Okarun's testicles this season.

@hypertown I also want to see more from Shin, he's awesome. Has been underutilized for a few episodes now.
It was a tad boring 😪
When Akira said, "I don't want to hurt anybody". Then, why the heck are you going to assassin school?
The only cool moment was when she almost killed them all.
If this show has anything amusing, it's that everyone looks super strong until they get their asses kicked 😂

@scribbbleanime I haven't watched anything from this one.
But I'm not super encouraged when you say

😂
@scribbbleanime it's very easy to watch. No big drama. Add it to your list 😉
I have been rewatching #Horimiya
It's a very wholesome, sweet teenage rom-com that heals the soul ❤️
@chiruyuki his backstory is real sad. I hope he can change a bit and make friends with Okarun and the rest.
Gris is alive!? Really?
Calm episode. I think they went too far to make Rudo super fat with the sweets.
The rest was fine; they didn't focus too much on the outfit. I wanted to see a better cool-looking shot.
The training part was interesting, to understand more about his power.
Is this the power-up arc?

Weapon 6 is cool! I didn't know it was allowed to shoot ice. Well designed!
Iharu realizes the world is bigger than his high school, and there are very smart and strong people out there. Who would've thought?
Reno has broken muscles and bones. How will he heal? By the magic of Kaiju or regular healing?

Such a tease there at the end. Nothing is going to happen.
Also... Gojo, my dude, you're clueless. For real.
Feels like clickbait that the name of the episode was a reference to just the last 2 minutes.
We didn't learn much about the hate Akira has for Marin.
@scribbbleanime you're probably right.
Also, the story needs an antagonist, I guess.
Henrietta needs to start paying her tab! Or is the tab gone with the restaurant gone!?
@scribbbleanime the head chef has perfect genes 😁

The mandataroy hot springs scene 🤷♂️
It was nice to see them go somewhere else besides the restaurant. Speaking of which, Dennis was very mature after seeing it going up in flames. I think he's right; it's better to move away and forget about this.
I have the feeling that it's not going to happen and that he'll have to fight his way out ⚔️

Dennis' backstory, at last! Although a lot is missing there, I want to know more.
All the friends trying to help out was sweet.
Polvo is still creepy, please go away.
@scribbbleanime What does "nw" mean ? 😅
We got to see Rokuro's backstory (which is super sad, by the way) and his transformation. I was not expecting him to dance. Looks cool and way stronger than the bikini muscle girl 😂
Shiki is screwed going against Tsubakiri, hopefully, reinforcements will show up soon.

@DeathsEmbrace We've only seen them hold hands... they have a long way to go 🥲
@hypertown That goodbye... They are making us wait for that kiss!
The short battle was awesome, Okarun in super high speed was brutal. The power of friendship works wonders against the evil eye.

🆕 Anime Review
"Free! (Season 3)"
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
This season, while having an animation equally beautiful to previous seasons, the plot was rather boring.
It was very nice to see the boys grow, go to university, and change the setting to Tokyo...
#WelcomeToTheOutcastsRestaurant 1x6
Not going to lie, this episode was quite boring, full of politics we couldn't care less about, and no food pr0n.
This is a clear example of how living a simpler life makes you happier. Just forget the whole thing and go back to the restaurant.
#Free 3x12
A tad disappointed with the final episode. We did not get to see the race between Rin and Haru. What the heck!?
The rest of the episode was good. Haru screaming on the beach was new and surprising, but overall, as mentioned, disappointed.
There is a movie that continues the story, but I need to stress how strange it feels that they didn't show the race. Budget issue?
I need to write a full season review in the upcoming days.
#Free 3x11
Would it be fair to say this episode was fan service? The long-awaited reunion. The actual race for Rei and Nagisa was super short; they are saving the budget for the final episode.
Nothing unexpected. They did well, just not good enough to get a podium. They are not a powerhouse; they do not have the equipment or coaching staff. So I think the ending was good, expected.
How will this anime end? Is it safe to say Haru will win over Rin?
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
The first non-dark episode we've had so far. Just harmless fun and comedy, plus the mandatory delicious food shots.
Dennis acting like his father was fun to watch. Protect her at all costs!
I did not understand (or maybe it wasn't explained) why the captain of the party kicked Dennis out. Was the captain forced to do it by someone else?

Way more ecchi than I thought.
I'm not fully convinced this anime is for me. The idea of Medaka already being devoted to religion at such a young age 🤨
For a moment, I thought, he's either gay or just not attracted to her. Which are both completely fine and would be more interesting plot.
Turns out he is attracted to her, but he's just forcing himself to avoid her.
Is there more to this story?

Makoto got some love. Well-deserved recognition for a good job as a coach. Glad he also found his goal.
Haru was acting like a baby, being all hurt because a world champion defeated him 😂
It seems we're getting a full reunion in Tokyo with the Iwatobi Club riding a bullet train to Tokyo.
2 episodes left!
@finitebanjo Spoilers! Thankfully that already happened 😂
This anime is truly dark. First pedophiles, then gang rape, and now suicide/depression.
I did not think for a moment this show would touch these topics.
It's all masked behind delicious-looking food, but still... I'd rather they do some actual adventuring and more food consuming.

"Ikuya arc is over", "Haru losing arc" beings 😂
Glad to see someone who can kick Haru's ass in freestyle. Although it's no surprise if the dude Albert is a world record holder. They are not in the same league. Unfair that they are (even if a friendly race) racing together. Haru can't let that get to him.
The cafeteria scene was fun. Haru found someone with whom he can eat his beloved fish 😂
Lots of talking, but the Hoshina interactions with both the Kaiju and Narumi were good (especially funny with Narumi).
I imagine Ichikawa will eventually make it. He'll need a few episodes of struggles before we see a full-on fight with Kaiju 9.
Do you think we'll get to see the fight this season? 🤞
Rokuro reminds me of Zenitsu from Kimetsu no Yaiba. A crybaby, who is probably mighty strong.
@the_artic_one 😂 nice reference 😁👍
@SophiaHoppia 28 movies already? 😂 Probably the only anime with so many?
I did watch #DetectiveConan on TV when I was a kid but never continued.
I did not get the point of leaving Vivia alone in the dungeon to die. For fun? It's not like they were stealing her belongings. Confusing guild!
#WelcomeToTheOutcastsRestaurant 1x3
This world is rotten! 😂 All parties are evil, and the only good people work in a newly opened restaurant 🤦♂️

Now I want some fried rice 🍚
@cram Agreed. But don't you think it would make for a great character development moment? Not that Rudo needs more suffering, but it could push him to become stronger.
Also, I like it when stories are not afraid to kill off characters.
Is Gris dead? I don't wish the death of anybody, but it would make for a nice character development moment for Rudo if Gris passed here.
@NineSwords Funny that I wrote the same exact thing on my episode review before reading your comment https://ricard.social/@anime/115096721569852938
They went too far with the rape gang.
#WelcomeToTheOutcastsRestaurant 1x2
The food represented me 100%. I had a similar experience with tonkatsu on one of the first nights during the 2023 trip to Japan. That first bite of the crunchy, yet juicy, meat... 🤤
Now, this episode... Rape? Really? That's cheap. I did not like that. They could have come up with other things. Maybe be thieves? They steal your belongings and leave you in the dungeon. But the hands near her panties shot? Nah...
@scribbbleanime We need to find anime we're both interested that we can follow weekly 😁
Let me to catch up to #WelcomeToTheOutcastsRestaurant so we can be in sync 🤝
@scribbbleanime WIth just 1 episode watched for #WelcomeToTheOutcastsRestaurant I wonder if we'll get any monster battles, or those first seconds was all we are going to get. Now the fights will happen in the kitchen? 😂
@Chronographs You're right, this one might give us what we want 😁
I'll watch Season 3, we've stuck with it so far. Let's finish it.
How did the pilots survive the bullet rain from big machine guns, but then a single handgun made its way to their brains? 😂
#SakamotoDays 2x08
When you thought this show couldn't get more insane, it does.
Mafuyu, the germ-gude, looked way more friendlier. Could be a funny addition to the main group. I don't dislike him as much as I did the last episode.

The power of friendship closes the Ikuya arc, finally! Happy ending for everybody. It wasn't so hard after all, just talk to each other and swim. Who would have thought?
The animation in this episode was at its peak, beautiful.
4 episodes left, let's see how the story ends.
@alphacyberranger Season 1 was very cool 😁
@alphacyberranger Anybody else got a bit disappointed with Season 2?
Not sure if Season 3 just be more of the same 🤔
I wrote about it here: https://anime.ricard.blog/rants/fire-force-season-2/
@alphacyberranger Cool! Does anybody know if there's novel material about the original party?
I'd love to see more from Himmel and the rest too.
#WelcomeToTheOutcastsRestaurant 1x1
We got a bit of world-building with a big story twist.
The main character is good to his core. Supports the party, knows how to cook, and sets a slave free in the first 20 minutes.
So far, this duo is funny. Now I want some fried rice, it looked delicious! A bit like Shokugeki no Souma 😁
How much will this show be about fighting monsters vs serving customers?

The claws dude was just way too strong. I guess we're all disappointed we didn't get to see Enjin and the other get serious with him.

@AllAnimeMag such a long post, well done Tess!

Ikuya is such a boring character; it's too bad they have centered this season around him 🙄

@scribbbleanime it would be amazing to be able to have weekly discussions about shows on air around here. You know, like an anime club 😎
Here are some I watch weekly:
@scribbbleanime it's good but not great. There are better things to watch this season.
I don't know how your watchlist looks like... If you have the spare time to watch it, do it so we can discuss weekly 😁
@mo_lave yep, that was clear. But we have not been told how she knows Marin, right?
I'm missing something here... Who is this Akira woman? How does she know Marin?
Has this been explained in the past and I don't remember?

This dude (Rokuro) reminds me of Zenitsu from Kimetsu no Yaiba. A crybaby, who is probably mighty strong.
It feels like we're already at the final boss, maybe too overpowered for being the first real enemy from our classroom?
@hypertown Total insanity! 😆
The cliffhanger wasn't fair 😔
@RightHandOfIkaros Totally feels fanmade 😬
@neatchee How could you even explain this to someone who isn't folllowing Dan Da Dan? 🤪
#Dandadan 2x08 is the most Dan Da Dan episode ever.
What did I just watch?
The animation was great, and the cliffhanger horrible (don't do that to us)
@myska Not my favorite genre! 😱 😁
@Rai When I read "Nichijou" I thought of "Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou" but I don't think you meant this one 😁
@ReluctantZen thank you for sharing the manga screenshot. I also found the 50.000 strange but decided to let it go 😅

Action-packed! The airplane scene was good. Unrealistic if you think about firing a weapon inside a plane, but Shin and Sakamoto were 🔥
Sakamoto getting the "random" pen as a weapon was hilarious 😂
So funny Sakamoto got the "random" pen for the plane fight 😂
Shin was also very good 💯
This episode was good, I can only echo the sentiment around here. You are unknowingly dating, kiss already!
I hope they don't leave us hanging too much. We had some nice, cute scenes in the past where we thought they were about to go official.
@fireweed Oh wow, for that World Series run 🔥
I was there on 2023 although I've been following the team for longer (2017 maybe?). We visited all the way from Barcelona. I want to repeat 😎

Ikuya and Hiyori need therapy. One, because he's depressed, and the other because he's a toxic friend.
I'm getting quite tired of Hiyori. The problem is he thinks he's doing what's best for Ikuya.
I hope they don't drag this too much. I want the story to re-focus on our main characters.
#Gachiakuta 1x6 was a bit boring 🙄
Sure, quite some action, but I got disappointed when the friendly support dude was not actually dead. He should have died to give the story more intensity.
Also, Rudo... such weak punches if after a dozen to the face, he can't take down the enemy.
Thoughts?
