  • They also tended to say the changes made it ‘hard to follow’ or ‘ruined the pacing’ or other things, but as an anime-only that just flat wasn’t true. I actually really loved the kind of elliptical feel of the story in S1.

    I honestly kind of felt that source readers were border-line brigading posts about the anime on reddit. It certainly didn’t make me any more inclined to check it out!






  • I’ve watched four this season:

    • Seven Spellblades: I assumed going in it would be fairly generic, but it’s turned into my overall favorite, mostly on the merits of the story itself. It does a surprisingly good job of maintaining a relatively large ensemble of MCs. (Also, given that the setting is kind of “dark anime harry potter”, I can’t help but appreciate the implied “fuck you” to JKR in one subplot.)
    • Helck: not all the humor lands for me, but enough does that I really enjoy the show! The slowly unfolding plot is kind of neat too.
    • Undead Girl Murder Farce: I really like the sense of humor and style in this one. At the start it seems like it’s going to be a bit like In/Spectre in terms of slow-paced mystery solving, but the action starts to pick up ~half way through the first cour.
    • The vending machine iskei: I wouldn’t say it’s exactly a good show, but it’s been watchable enough I made it to the end of the season!
