Something I've noticed people don't mention very often about the Sword Isekai is its environmental design. It doesn't really end up affecting the story, but I'm so glad to see the background artists put actual effort into making a world that isn't just the Forgotten Realms version 387. Seeing the weird coral structures in that rocky area during the carriage scene, or the purple clumps of blight in the forest, just add a little extra flavour to make the setting feel like a genuinely different world. Also, it was genuinely cathartic to see a starting town that wasn't copied over from KonoSuba or whatever anime invented that stupid red-roofed, river-bisected, unoriginal plains dwelling.

The anime actually did a good job with this scene to set up the things thats gonna happen in the future, as the light novel introduced this scene and the character OUTTA NOWHERE and then right after switched its ENTIRE GENRE from a isekai to post-apocalpytic monster-survival reverse-isekai shit, with the girl shown from the start being an important plot point.

What I like about Blue Lock is that it's NOT a complete 180 of your typical sports anime, because it very much still encourages teamwork and good relationships with your teammates on and off the pitch. Hell the ''partner duo'' in this one is easily up there with Hinata and Kageyama. But it's main focus is independence, and personal ambition, and not being willing to be tied down by anything. It's actually a really good message, having friends and making personal connections but not letting them define you because those relationships can end at any moment, and that's reflected in the way the teams are constantly changing.

I played college soccer so I have some insight that I think might be interesting. I think the main difference is that this is producing professional athelets where as most sports anime is friends playing high school. At least in for me, high school was my fun team where I could try stuff out and hand out with friends. My travel team was when I got serious about getting college recruiters to look at me. This show is about trying to produce the results professionally so I do actually like the cut throatness of it. While it wasnt this bad, when college recruiters were present there was a change in how we played as a team where you did act more selfishly while trying to stand out. Im excited to see where it goes.

A major agreement on Raven of the Inner Palace. The thing that really got me about the 3 episodes that I saw is the authenticity. A bit of background, but I am someone Chinese born. I know the language, watched bits and pieces of Chinese Imperial Palace Dramas like Huan Zhu Gege in my childhood, reads Chinese webnovels even now, of which some have included palace drama in part or whole, and even part time translated a few webnovels at that, and as someone with that experience and understanding, I can authoritively say that the atmosphere of Raven is one that could have come right off of a Chinese palace drama, just with more magic. In fact, one of the first things that got my attention is that people addresses the imperial consort by Niangniang, which is in fact absolutely the correct term of address for the Empress or any of the imperial consorts. The fact that inner palace (or literally "harem", as they share the same actual term) can get absolutely cutthroat in its politics. The authenticity is amazing, and heck, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that some Japanese producer had copied a genuine Chinese Palace Drama, turned it anime style, and then redubbed it. It's like if some Chinese studio produced an authentic Japanese Samurai flick or if some American Studio produced a genuine version of Journey to the West, the Three Kingdoms, or one of Jin Yong's Wuxia novels. Just absolutely amazing and remarkable.

I also love how he doesn't really know the girls in his harem, he just pretends he knows them. Also for those who do not read the manga. They actually put the first episode of the show into the manga as a flashback. Only this time is adheres to the manga's logic. In the manga because there was not Magic in the real world he could not look like a spindly Japanese boy and still be strong. So they recreate the episode but instead of an unassuming highschooler who secretly fights at night he is a dude who looks like a brick shit -house who definitely street fights after school and everyone knows.

It's a phantom thief themed isekai about a reverse chuunibyou thinks his harem is his larping squad and when they kill people it's just playing around. He thinks they all know everything's fake and he made it all up. But no. A reverse chuunibyou is when the chuuni thinks they're making stuff up, but it's all actually true. Kadokawa just announced a spin off anime for it. I anticipate they're expecting the anime to take off soon, since ep 1 & 2 was just the prologue. The setup pays off big later, so I'm hyped.

I am having a really weird experience with this anime in that I am just constantly going back and forth on whether it is good or not. The premise is really fun, but it seems like almost no time is actually spent on doing something funny with it, so the comedy isn't that great. Some of the characters are fun, but then it also spents barely anytime exploring them. Most of the cast just shows up, we don't even get the barest introduction who the girls of shadow garden are. It seems like the premise is build on making fun of the stereotype of the dark, edgy organisation fighting the actual bad guys behind the scenes and being let by the dark, edgy and supercool leaderguy. But then it also just plays that stereotype completely straight and 3/4 of an episode will just be a fight between the mc and one dude. And it's obvious who's going to win, but it just gets dragged out through the whole episode so the mc can spout some cringe-ass dialogue thinking he is being cool and edgy. If it's supposed to make fun of it, why is it played so straight? If the dialogue is intentionally cringy, why is so much time dedicated to the cringe? When the main character blows up a big chunk of a capital with the magical equivalent of an atomic bomb in order to kill one dude, is it supposed to be cool? Is the sheer absurdity of it supposed to be funny? I just don't really get the intention behind the thing. I keep watching, waiting for it to finally click, but I just don't think I get it so far. I had a genuine chuckle in the newest episode when the princess attacks him for his rejection. The bloodsplatter is a genuinely well timed punchline to that scene. But then the anime stops and has a bit of dialogue about how noone knows what's up with the bloodsplatter there and it feels like it's explaining the joke and kind of ruining it in the process. Does it just not translate well from the source material?

The light novel has a ton of parody, but it's all in in the thoughts and descriptions of the characters. The comedy comes from the dissonance between how people perceive Cid versus how he perceives himself. And the dissonance to how everyone else sees the world versus how Cid sees it. Most of that is gone in the anime. Apparently the manga added a bunch of visual jokes to compensate but the anime didn't. So they adopted a parody light novel and cut out most of the parody, which explains why it feels so weird. You can still see bits and pieces of the original intend but there's not enough of it there to fulfill its original purpose.

Yeah, it has been an amazing adaptation, with beautiful animation and action, on top of a tight story, and its very impressive how well the power ups have aged, because they are based on technique and world building, rather that inner power or variations of that Personally, i really like the final boss concept, his transformations and powers feel so grounded, as they have plenty of links to other elements of the story, and his ultimate bullshit technique being just a solid combo, it feels so fresh when compared with the broken abilities final bosses tend to have, yet its as much of a bullshit ultimate broken power as your run-of-the-mill invincible powers

@@GinHindew110 exactly this. It's not like anything in the show is groundbreaking or deeply thought provoking. But it is a lot of fun and you can tell it was made by people that respect the source material. On top of that i again must stress how insanely good the character development is in this series; both for the heroes and the villains. There is no powerup that comes without a grounded and reasonable explanation, no decision a character makes that seems strange or out of character. There is not a single major (or for the majority of minor for that matter) character who we don't explicitely understand and we get to watch them grow and change as the series presses on; not just get stronger. This makes the series alone immensly enjoyable; even moreso if you are a fan of the games. So many references to iconic spells, abilities, and features of the games. The combo the final boss does that you mentioned in particular is the anime equivalent of final bosses usually getting multiple turns in the games; not to mention the standard jrpg trope of multiple forms a final boss will take. There's just so much to pick apart and dissect for fans of the franchise and is just a perfect blend of lighthearted fun, strong characters, and large scale adventures for the more casual viewer.

"I love everything about this and also "woo-hoo, marriage" is what I'm ending all my texts to your dad in from now on."

"Hitori is my neurodivergent daughter and I will fight every hater in her KZitem comments." "Oh right, the truck adventure genre!" "...what?" "They all die via trucks, right? And then they go on adventures. Anyway, Cat Girl Moses looks good." "I - I - what?!" "She's freeing her people. Like Moses." "This sounds like it'd be fun to watch with some wine and some Ren Fair people." "Make her a lasagna. THAT'S how you curry some favor. Also, I ship it." "This reminds me of your Aunt Judy."

The setting and time period is so underrated in stories. A time where the supernatural either has to adapt to a changing society or fade into myth is such an engaging concept. You see series like Kemono Jihen or Noragami where they’ve already adapted to modernization or other series where they cling to the past in small isolated bubbles like Natsume’s Book of Friends.

Sword's first episode is not-as-above-average as everything else so I was worried, but trust me in that the opening is from before the writer finds their groove, and they do so *very* early on.

Eminence in the shadow's manga adaptation is, in my opinion, better than the anime so far. For one, it doesn't have that pre-truck kidnapping thing, it just chronicles how exactly cid's dream led to the truckening. It also just has better visual gags, like pre-truck cid being built like a jojo character while having the head of a background character due to his intense training. Aiding in the visuals, and I don't know exactly how to explain this, the manga designs just seem better overall, especially cid's "shadow" outfit. edit: after watching the currently released episodes, I can conclude that anime cid is SIGNIFICANTLY more sane than either LN or manga cid, manga and LN cid would spend most of that initial crowbar fight laughing their f*cking ass off in the most "hollywood b-grade psycho villain" way possible with a little box labeling them in disbelief as the protagonist.

Great list! I'm really happy you got My Master Has No Tail in the bonus section; it's really nice so far and that "foolish tanuki" is super adorable. I also completely agree on Maid War. It's one of those anime that feels so quintessentially Japanese right to its core, a combination of things that no other culture on Earth could ever come with, not even with a rough equivalent.

Geoff's recommendations are the reason I have a HiDive account. Every season at least one of his picks is from there. Finally signed up for it to watch Call of the Night and did not regret it at all. Now looking at watching his other prior HiDive recommendations as well.

I'm biased as someone who plays the game but I'm really excited for the Arknights anime. A fantastic free 2 play gacha with fantastic music and story and worldbuilding getting adapted and it looks really good. I've got high hopes for that one and it's out in 2ish weeks

"How Heavy Are The Dumbells You Lift?" is so fucking good too. Also, big fucking RIP to Takashashi. He dived into some waters to save people from a dangerous riptide, not unlike how Yugi jumped into save Joey actually, and he ended up not making it back.

I second that for Akiba Maid War. I too, went in blind, just to find something to fill as a background anime filler while I was cooking and my food prep took longer since my focus was solely onto the anime. My goodness, I was hooked.

I watched about 10 new anime first episodes, including most of the ones in this video, with a Discord group in an anime sampler. Akiba Maid war's first episode was so crazy! I wasn't sure WTF was happening and wasn't sure if I would want to watch more, but I might check out more of it since you said it's good, especially for Chainsaw Man fans. I also loved Blue Lock and Do It yourself was pretty cute and fun. Bocchi The Rock was fairly relatable and fun. I was the socially awkward, introverted musician in school. However, I did talk to people and people like my guitar playing/singing even though I wasn't all that great. I can relate with the main character's anxiety, although I'm better now than I was.

I have been waiting so frigging long for Reincarnated As A Sword to be animated, and it did not disappoint. I do think that Geoff left out the father daughter relationship and how adorable it is, but it has to compete with Anya and Loid this season. Don't let it get lost in the shuffle!

Blue Lock has been really good to watch too, love how different it is from Haikyuu but in a good way though! Reincarnated as a sword has been my guilty pleasure, it's pretty brutal as well and I adore Fran. My Master has no Tail is also very enjoyable, I got hooked on the first episode.
