Forgot to hit publish on this one!
S: Must Watch
Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
1. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3. Ep.5
SUMMARY
While I enjoyed the opening from season 2, the return of scenes during the opening theme is very much welcome.
Rudeus is a city boy confirmed. Despite being jobless, I'm glad some things are improving. Zenith being active in the garden is one such thing, I can only hope there is a future in which her memories return. Inside the home, it's surprising to see how similar Lucie is to Rudeus. A reincarnation maybe? I doubt it, but strangers things have happened.
Speaking of strange things, Aisha is keeping one in her room. A treant of all things, the most common monster of all in this world. Is it a good idea to keep it? Rudeus must admit that he was wrong after some blackmail, and an assist from Roxy. It may just protect the the room for now, but it would be cool to see it get stronger in the future.
Now then, while life is going well, Rudeus's mind focuses on protecting his family.
King class water magic. We've seen some cool stuff from Rudeus, but many of his spells are of his own design and not conventional. Seeing him recite the incantations was cool, especially with the addition of him as a child. Ever the talent, Rudeus is now a king class magician.
9.9/10, No, I'm the lucky one.
2. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3. Ep.3
SUMMARY
This is one girlfriend I've been looking forward to the most, just how will they handle her quirk?
The best apart of Naddy, apart from being absolutely stunning, is that we will soon find out she is likely the most Japanese of all the girls. Her introduction makes her instantly likable, an props to the voice actress for the work she is doing to convey broken Japanese, and English!
Now, I love a forward girl, so I would instantly fold to the Naddy's kiss. Aijo boy is no different, though his intuition is much better as he realizes Naddy is just as Japanese as he is.
Naddy's yearn for freedom is the reason for her state loving personality. Nothing to be ashamed when using it to express herself as much as she wants, she even has a boyfriend who is more than supportive to her.
Thanks to Naddy, we get to see the girls in some new clothing. Good lord, I love this anime. starting off with the dog outfit for Mei was a treat, but each following outfit is just as good. It's difficult to explain how much I loved every outfit, but did Naddy?
9.5/10, Rentaro best outfit, F*ck you.
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
3. Daemons of the Shadow Realm. Ep.15
SUMMARY
Back to heartbreak.
Yuru's time alone gives him just what he needs to calm himself, alongside the help of men's best friend that is. Danji leaves before Yuru can question him, but the invitation to fight for Fake Asa will be the next time he can question them about the village. Now, are we walking right into a trip?
Yes.
A surprise to me, the Kagemori's are also heading to the warehouse Yuru has been invited to. Before they arrive, Yuru and his team are taken by surprise. They face a difficult daemon to touch which allows Yuru to be captured and taken to the blonde Kagemori. Yuru will have to face his position alone, Right and Left must face off the deamon wielding swordsman.
8.8/10, looking forward to this fight.
4. The Ghost in the Shell. Ep.3
SUMMARY
Pretty cool animation leading up to the capture of the target chased by Kusanagi. Work continues on however, soon we're tracking the real puppet master at a mansion meeting. Or so we would like, the true mastermind is still at large and now under investigation of another team.
Can I have the robot dance as my screen saver please?
After an interesting debate on AI revolution between cute little robots and a discussion on rights, we venture into something even crazier; creating a body. Kusanagi wonders about herself while taking the new cyborg out to eat. An age old question of the genre, do we lose ourselves when transferring our conscious to machine? Is it even possible to determine? I would love to see more questions asked in this anime, though the answers tend to hurt.
8.9/10, ask the questions
B: Good/Solid
5. Though I Am an Inept Villainess. Ep.2
SUMMARY
Maybe changing bodies won't be so bad for Reirin. the first episode is an introduction to her and a bright personality that has the first prince bewitched. she's nice and smart, though naïve and too forgiving in my mind. Still, a new life aas behun for her and she jumps headfast into it.
Reirin's new home has seen better days, I hope she'll be able to make it better before the cold hits at least. With that said, her quickness to gather material and begin planting is admirable. Her wonderful mindset allows her to prosper despite the unfavorable conditions.
On the complete opposite end of mindset, Keigetsu is suffering more and more from her new frail body.
the more she learns about Reirin, the more she wonders if she will be able to continue in the body. I believe she can,, but she will have to change how everyone perceives Reirin little by little.
7.5/10, justice for Leelee
6. Skeleton Knight in Another World II. Ep.3
SUMMARY
After surviving a night with drunk Ariane, Arc continues exploring the secrets of the town he finds himself in. There are few dangers greater than his drunken companion, but mysterious are a plenty in the area.
On today's adventure, Ariane and Arc take on some kidnappers that stood no chance on their first encounter with Ariane. The encounter happens as Arc watches a street show of a young boy climbing a clock tower. Daring if nothing else, but the boy finds himself with dire need for money after his sister his hurt.
Lucky for him, Arc knows healing magic! After saving Shia, the siblings make their way back to to the square where they can perform like before. A quick adventure for the duo, the next may bring much more difficult opponents.
7/10, Arc to the rescue
C: It's ok/ Fine
These are shows I happen to pick up but struggle to finish. Still watchable, but not without a good break in between episodes.
7. The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects. Ep.3
SUMMARY
What's Kazuya doing here?
Whatever the case, Dias gets his first group of villagers in the form of 12 old ladies. Better than nothing, but we still need more money to build the village itself. what I didn't expect was for the blonde girls from the ending to not be his children, but little girls who have lost their parents.
Dias takes them both in without hesitation and I'm proud of him for it. We learned even more about him through thoughts of the past, and many of his actions in this episode. It's easy to hate on slavery, but his reasoning for it only make my perception of him as a great warrior even stronger.
Here's to a happy family.
7/10, They're not married yet.
D: Do Not Recommend
Shows I do not recommend you watch for various issues.
F: Bad
Anime with glaring issues that make them not only difficult to watch, but the watcher angry at times.
