Wasn’t expecting this kind of video from you, but that’s great! Nice to see this channel tackle some “in the now” shows. Some anime from this season that won me over are: -Buddy Daddies -Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill -Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible (this one got half its episodes delayed) :( -Sugar Apple Fairy Tale -Mononogatari -Ippon again! -Giant Beasts of Ars AND -Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte Looking forward to whatever comes out next!

Stampede does look very nice I agree - the action scenes are super-fluid and seeing the smol Meryl next to everyone else in 3D is a treat - but I can't help but feel its pacing is way too fast. Every plot point and/or action scene is immediately stacked upon the next without any real breathing room It honestly kinda feels like it's a +40 hour JRPG compressed into just the significant reveals and boss battles, I guess. It's still entertaining and the original anime does have some needlessly languid pacing at point, but it's draining. I will say though, I am going to try High Card. I like Jojo/Hunter X Hunter-esque crazy power battles, the more creativity the better.

You hella OP compared to the creators you mentioned - I genuinely love how classy and just nice you are with it. You are never trying to pander to some headline take or corny af “controversial” stance. I’d rather spend 800 hours of your voice saying “yeah it was pretty dece” than someone saying “THIS WAS THE MOST… AND BROKE ME” only to find out 10 minutes later in the video that the “big” deal was not that crazy and the actual take they have is “…it was pretty dece”. Keep up the great work! Thank you and of course always more gundam! That crazy animation in the 8th mst scene was worth the praise. ❤

I wonder if you will be covering 2nd cour of Gwitch in the upcoming season? Or overall thoughts about both cours combined? After the initial video about prologue I was hoping you'd cover it in some capacity, considering not everyday mecha channel can cover something that currently airs. Regardless, in comparison next season should have some big hitters, and I hope that Covid won't impact many shows, as it happened in Winter 2023 with few.

I’m most catching up on 2022 anime this season like Bocchi the Rock, but one anime I’m following is Tomo-Chan is a Girl. It’s definitely just a solid executed romance that just has a really fun cast. After this and Gigguk, I might check out Revenger, which would be my first Gen Urobuchi. What is interesting is that this is also the time when the annual/weekly shows start airing like PreCure, but no one talks about weekly shows. Which is funny considering that used to be the most prominent anime in western spaces in the 2000s.

As a huge Legend of Heroes fan, having played literally every game that's been localized - I can say that Northern war is something that just didn't need to be made into an anime. It would've been fine being dlc content for a game or even just in the books that can be found in game to read about. 100% not needed to enjoy the amazing Trails games.

Yeah 12:55 Ningen Fushin is definitely an Underrated Fantasy anime that honestly has potential! It has hints of SLAYERS, but doesn’t push the envelope beyond the generic nature of its show. Hell, I Say SLAYERS and KONOSUBA are the shows that push the Comedy aspect Way more than this one. Even so, I do feel like it deserves another season to explore our characters in both a serious and comical light.

Thanks for touching on The Fire Catcher. I am liking the show so far (and it definitely feels like a slow burn)... but it feels like the stunning images are oversold. Also, for a show that teases fluid animation in its action scenes, the animation is pretty limited when it comes to the action. Note: we should never expect Mappa or Ufotable level of animation... but the animation could stand to be a little more fluid. It actually reminds me of Mars Red, which had some of the same positives but ultimately had limited animation when it came to the action. Still enjoyed Mars Red, and I'm still enjoying The Fire Catcher so far. It definitely might be better binged in one take.

Though I'm a binge-watcher by nature, so i'll be waiting until the shows are finished so I don't have to deal with waiting for the next episode. Still, thumbs up to the new format! 👍

I had my doubts about Buddy Daddies at first but I can say it has it's heart in the right place and am now really enjoying it. I bummed that a sci-fi anime legend like Mamoru Oshii got such a low animation budget for The Fire Hunter. Giant Beasts of Ars has likeable characters and interesting world building.

I enjoy Stampede so far, and this is coming from someone who grew up with Trigun 98 (which is different from the source manga in the first place). I like Stampede not just coz it's different but also coz it adapts things from the manga that Trigun 98 didn't even touch. Btw there are mechs & robot in *Nier* anime this season 😉.

High Card is in my opinion the best one out of the bunch. Its a fun campy series with well thought out characters and a simple story plot. As for the worst that would have to go to Trigun Stampede. After a couple episodes I became bored of it because it just doesn't pull you in like the original series did and the only good thing about it is the animation.

Stampede is a complete retelling that alters the story and does not follow either the original Anime or Trigun Manga so you should be all set to watch it with no prior knowledge. It's kind of one of those situations where you will get a bunch of references from the old content but it isnt required.

I'm going to have to come to terms that people actually consider Portal Fantasy a genre now instead of, say, a thematic element or plot device. I don't know, it's like saying zombie apocalypse or time travel are genres cause there are plenty of media that utilize them, if not even had an influx at some point. Just comes off as odd to me. Then again, I've never really understood most of the going-ons with the anime community, especially nowadays.

11:25 So, this is technically an adaptation of an audio play, sort of I believe the audio play has a different protagonist but focuses on the same period. Thing is, the Audio play is available only in japan and is 900% canon to cold steel 3 As in, a SHITTON of the plot and changes in character status from 2 to 3 is based on the events of this northern war... and players outside of Japan had absolutely no fucking way to experience it until this anime. It made me fall off HARD, I binged 1 and 2 almost back to back, loving the plot and characters, then 3 came along and I was suddenly missing a gigantic chunk of context and that northern war stuff kept being alluded to. (It also considers a new game plus only quest and super dungeon to be fully canon and also keeps referring to it) And that's not even the worst part of it, Cold steel 3 is ALSO a sequel to trails from zero/trails to azure, a (formerly) japan only duology of psp games that happen at the same time as cold steel 1/2 in a neighboring country... and again, that used to be japan only, with Trails to Zero getting a fan translation and finally an official release last year, and trials to Azure releasing in 2 days. AND THATS NOT ALL, Cold Steel 3 had a new english publisher/translation team, and that publisher INSISTED cold steel 3 was a perfect jumping on point and that you needed no previous context to enjoy it (a horrible, HORRIBLE lie). ... Anyways, back on track, looking forward for all of its episodes to come out so I can binge it and finally get enough context that I may be able to hop onto Cold Steel 3 again... Fuck playing Azure/Zero tho, gonna settle for looking up lets plays or wiki stuff. ... Or at the least I was until I saw your review here... I might just have to accept I wasted my money on Cold Steel 3 and 4 and forget about them.

No, the Northern War was never depicted in anything before this anime. You didn’t miss out on the events of it by just going from CS2 to CS3; it just happens offscreen between those two games and they say everything important about it in 3. In fact, I’d say I’m actively less interested in the events of the war after this anime. CS3 tells it better in one or two flashbacks than the show does in 12 episodes. Trails isn’t that complicated
