    And Iʼm again here about new animes in the new season.

    1. Ao no Hako
      Yeah, an another anime with ⟨ao⟩ «blue» in a tittle, just this season has at least three animes with this case. Slice-of-life, spokon and romance. Nothing special, just my kink and nothing unwatchable for now and me.

    2. Chi. Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite
      Mix of pseudohistory on base Kopernik — heliocentrism, mystery and science-fiction.

    3. Dan Da Dan
      Top-seasonal shōnen about figting against aliens and supernatural.

    4. NegaPosi Angler
      A bad-lifer and group fishing.

    5. Raise wa Tanin ga Ii
      Yakuza, and black-romance [marked as sēnen, but for me itʼs more like josē — for now not in a bad way].

    6. Tsuma, Shougakusei ni Naru.
      One wife was re-born, and weʼre now 10 years later here.

    New or from previous seasons:

    1. Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season

    2. Shangri-La Frontier: Kusogee Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to Su

    And, another word about Doga Kobo. Sadly, but looks like they very like Russian dick, which alway had bad reputation, and still occupy Japanese lands [by Japanese laws]. Just look at their last animes:

    One of main char is Russian:

    • Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru!
    • Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san

    One of char is Russian or Russian-liker:

    • Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi
    • Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru

    Reference to Russian culture [maybe more, but I dropped]:

    • Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai which is also original anime.

    The reason I donʼt know for now. Maybe itʼs Russian influence [history already knows about it, esp. within France], maybe Doga Kobo really like non-human and imperialistic Russian culture and suck their dick.

    You can say that other studios also can bring Russians or something around this, but from Doga Kobo itʼs pretty sytematic — almost in any last anime you see this.

    New season — new animes. Thereʼre many avarage or good anime, but I prefer moslty slice-of-life, and this season brougth enough. So, I like for now such animes:

    1. 2.5-jigen no Ririsa

      I watch it mostly for classic ecchi which could be better if we compare to manga or a way of Mahoako anime. At the first episode it was often compared to Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi o Suru, but for me it is closer to Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun: simple animation, a very dumb boy, and a girl wants to realization and not only.

    2. Gimai Seikatsu

      About not-related sibles. Unlike many other anime in this theme, itʼs pretty calm and more about psychology, normal relationships etc; something like it was in Mamahaha no Tsurego ga Motokano Datta or Slow Loop.

    3. Isekai Shikkaku

      If Osamu Dazai — very famouse Japanese in literature and… suicide theme — is isekaiʼd. Pretty comedy, and itʼs from studio which made Isekai Ojisan [which was better for me].

    4. Koi wa Futago de Warikirenai

      Romance drama with triange: two different sisters and their clever neib boy.

    5. Make Heroine ga Oosugiru!

      The aniem has one of the best animation in this season. The romcom which is also pretty good, chemistry [not romantic] between the main char and Anna is perfect.

    6. Mayonaka Punch

      About a youtuber-girl and vampires — comedy with a little drama. The anime has a good animation.

    7. Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi

      Shōnen with samurai, non-real and brutal elements whichʼs based on the real historical figure of Hōjō Tokiyuki. Another anime with fantastic animation.

    8. Senpai wa Otokonoko

      Romcom about femboy [or just otokonoko: a boy with crossdressing.].

    9. Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan

      I guess… Shi~ka~! I donʼt need explain this, because it was already famous before airing due memes. Basically, itʼs absurd comedy on a deer theme. You deer!

    10. Shoushimin Series

      If you know Hyōka then you know this. Anime of episodic slice-of-slice with mysteries [without non-real elements, for now at least]. Btw, the author is the same, only the studio is another. So, while the animation isnʼt fanstatic, but itʼs cinematic. The anime will have only 10 episodes, and the next [4th] will be delayed to 3rd August.

    From previous or just new seasons:

    1. Monogatari Series - Off & Monster Season
    2. Dead Dead Demon`s Dededededestruction

    One week pasted, many new animes arrived. What did I like from this, and will watch some new episodes:

    • Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku? Train adventure, constant post-apocalypse — any human after 21 year age will become as an animal.
    • Astro Note. Comedy about an alien girl in some hotel on our Earth. She with her dog search a key for returning, but for this time she learns about our world, and one boy got love on her.
    • Henjin no Salad Bowl. Reversed isekai, has vibes similar to Hinamatsuri.
    • Wind Breaker. Gang/school wars. I have a low expectation but the first episode was fine.
    • Girls Band Cry teaches about good gestures. Hardly 3CG, but itʼs fine for me, would be mostly about a music group.
    • Yoru no Kurage wa Oyogenai is another anime about a music group.

    Reboots:

    • Ookami to Koushinryou or more known and Spice & Wolf which is, sadly, reboot, not the third season.
    • Bartender.

    New seasons or from the previous season:

    • Dungeon Meshi
    • Yuru Camp
    • And finally Hibike! Euphonium! I remember, KyoAne had a bad time, yeah. Donʼt forget about 2~3 movies between this and the second season.

    Ehm, not true about Russia part? In general, Russians like Nazi, during WW2 Russia support them when Nazi were bombarding UK. They donʼt like Nazi and later Germany due two reasons:

    • Nazi attacked earlier them they;
    • Germany get success [especially economically] while Russia — not;
    • Germany is USAʼs dog [donʼt search here meaning].

    Summary: they hate Nazi mostly because ony they could be a true Nazi. Nothing new in Russian history, Russian communist didnʼt like even other Russian communist or a person with very simillar idealogy during and after Russian Civil War. Aka «thereʼs only one emperor» ideology.

    TWENTY-SEVEN MILLION Russians.

    Keep in mind that Soviet is basically renamed Russia Empire with many different peoples. Yeah, Russians and readers Russian infosphere often forget this thing.

    The episode is more like OVA, because of fan-service [don't worry, there's reason], and many stories.

    • And we get many frames of the nurse: doki, get, got, getten, reverse

    • The first case is about a nurse friend which wants to help find out other doctor sides… Via visual novels:

      1. A classic school romcom and morning running, another doki.

      2. A classic rich family and morning at the bad. Not so much frames I got from there, only this.

      3. And… yeah, bl with the doctor as bot?

      Of course, again many frames with the nurse: angry, blush, hide eyes, >_<, sus, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, angry sus.

    • The second case is about a boy which likes one girl [or her body?], and his [moslty porn] addiction to virtual copy. A bonus for humanoids that they're better in this case, because the boy is human, and doesn't feel the «touch».

      Boy somehow he got connection with real one, and very close but fucked during one talk because he call without thinking her by the name of game/program.

    • The third story is classic and about cheating. The humanoid cheated several times, and got hope on a switcher. But it was a false hope, because once you cheated you already change a parnter mind. And depending on the switcher (you can put here anything, for example [magic] pills), not partner doesn't change situation so much.

    The name of the episode is 4 cases but there's no fourth, only scenes with blood at the beginning and the ending.

    Don't worry, I still watching this anime which for me easy can be top-1 or top-2. It's just my time or lazyness, heh.

    • We get here two stories. The main theme of this episode: do something such as toy or robot as have soul or, it was called here, heart.

    • The first is about a pair of a humanoidess and a full robot. This line was appeared mostly only at the beginning with strange scene which was dream, and at the ending. But just read of the one point of this story: the humanoidess cheated the robot with a human. Heh.

    • The second story was main. It's about a boy and a toy robot which had some problem with memory. And the boy had the typical family problem: the mammy and daddy didn't have time for him, so his toy became as… a part of family? Later we find out the mommy bought the used toy, therefore we get also the emotional moment.

    • So the morale [at least for me; yeah, anime mostly shows, doesn't tell] of both stories: the memomy is a heart, a soul.

    • Btw, we get many frames of the [angry] milf, you can taste it again: one, two, three, four, not angry.

    • It's not a strong side of this anime but we get some not bad backgrounds: one, two.

    • In this episode the case was finally closed.

      Looks like I predicted who's killer from the story start. I'm a detective! I kinda know that blody's going into the forest is false alibi, and he can regenerate. But I didn't understand the bottle moment which was… kinda easy, heh, because all important information was already given.

    • I waited this moment when the a toy house was shown before.

    • The maid is too cute for this family case.

    • The loli is innocent. SHe's cute too, but in this moment I guessed that she could break the fingers. Scary, scary.

    • The fight had some problem with animation. Well, it's kinda understandable, this's not Mappa level money.

    • At the end we get some new persons, siblinging between the oni and our maid, and a gag with the father's name.

    • Sherlock Holmes was mentioned here as a real person. I remember that at the first episode there was a person this the ring with M-letter, so… I guess he's Moriarty then.

    • More kawaii or kowai, depend on your taste, loli. Still, don't scary her!

    • As I guessed, the man with a hand-crossbow didn't kill the mummy. Btw, he's German and couldn't kill the daddy. But his words in this episode bring another person who could kill the mummy. But as we know, even in this case, he wouldn't be alone here, because he need some help from inside anyway. This scene was also good [at least for me] for showing actions and wording, especially the daddy's.

    • The case isn't closed. I'm not against it, because I like the anime which has, if we believe to AniDB or MAL, only 13 episodes… which's not so much for me. Will the anime cover all the novel? Or, do we get some checkpoint and will wait the rest in new season(s)?

    • The episode was focused on gathering info. For the start, we know by Aya's eyes that any vampir in this house has hands without scratch.

    • Only the butler and the older son were without alibi. The latter even made a threat to our lovely pair, because he doesn't like when they sus also family.

    • The cute house's maid was apart from loli in one-two minute, because of bathroom. Also, we know that she's kinda novice, but at this time she already can blow blood.

    • The younger son, which I suspected in the previous episode, has partly alibi: we don't know so much what he did before walking with the father. I still sus him, because he was nervous in this time too. I remind that he was also the one with the father and butler who know where the silver were.

    • What about the loli, she wanted to sing with the older son which refused therefore the maid came to help.

    There're many theories from different minds, where even the loli which tagged with the maid could be a killer, yeah. But still stay with the youngest son, where he's motives don't changed here. But I can dig a tree heere: the older is a killer, the younger and maid know and may even help him, because they afraid him or support his idea in some way. In this case, the young doesn't support father idea because the older said so.

    The night is full of darkness, but it's your turn to share your thoughts: who is bad one(s) here?
