What have you been watching / reading this week? (Anime/Manga)
What have you been watching and reading this week? You don't need to give us a whole essay if you don't want to, but please write something! Feel free to talk about something you saw that was cool, something that was bad, ask for recommendations, or anything else you can think of.
If you want to, feel free to find the thing you're talking about and link to its pages on Anilist, MAL, or any other database you use!
Current Stuff:
Witch Hat - Good show is good
Daemons of the Shadow Realm - Shocker, FMA writer still knows how to write
Re Zero - As long as it's not the second season again.
Older stuff:
Majestic Prince. Been dragging the wife through some of the mid tier but memorable stuff from when I was younger. Still fun if dumb so far.
Kind of wish the toy-like non-'real robot' approach to mecha anime that they had in Majestic Prince would make a comeback. The writing might not have been the best, but the fight scenes with the mechs zipping around all over the place were really cool.
Sadly, mecha anime itself seems pretty dormant these days outside of Gundam.
Hell the writing was better than i expected for what it was. And i'm wondering if we're going to see a mecha resurgance. I've been seeing a LOT of mecha games in the pipeline this year and I suspect some of that is the fire being re-lit thanks to AC6.
Been a slow season for me anime-wise, so I've mostly been reading VNs and manga.
Pen to Wappa to Jijitsukon
Mystery / romcom about a police detective and an unusually observant mute girl who unilaterally decides they should get married. The mysteries are a bit all over the place in terms of quality, but the art is cute and there's an interesting overarching story that ties into the backgrounds of the two protagonists.
Recently confirmed for an anime adaptation.
Toshi Densetsu-senpai
Comedy / horror about a university student who loves horror and her senior who attracts ghosts, monsters and urban legends of all kinds.
Not as good as Utsuranain desu which has a very similar premise but also a cute romcom element, but still pretty funny in a dry way.
I've been rewatching Apothecary Diaries. I really enjoy mystery / Dr. Stone aspect of the show. I downloaded them to watch while I'm traveling.
Other than that, I need to catch up on the latest episodes of Witch Hat Atelier, COTE, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, and Dr. Stone. When i get back home, I'll have a nice afternoon of anime 😁
