Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
0. The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3. Ep.10
SUMMARY
It's time for a sword battle royal!
Kusuri's attempt was my favorite, though the first few do nothing against Kishika even when the plan has merit. Against such skill however, we need experience. Who best but the oldest girlfriend and most American girlfriend for the task. A great effort once more, but not enough without some deceit.
I can't say I have a favorite gf of the bunch, but Hahari is something else. Not just by design, but good lord does Sumire Uesaka absolutely nail everything about her.
Off to some more shenanigans. The Rentaro family is having some Ramen at a local shop known for some eccentric recipes. The shop owner does her best to defeat the even weirder family to no more success than Kishika in her bought against her own desires.
9.5/10, grannysuri has done some things
0. Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4. Ep.16
SUMMARY
So, does this technically mean the original Subaru died?
Current Subaru searches the archives for all the books that hold the stories of his counterpart. Each is a painful recreation of his deaths, the countless that he has experienced in his journey since arriving in this world.
Current Subaru reminds of the Subaru I despised long ago, so I commend the author for being able to convey a character regressed so well. The realization that his old self was nothing spectacular is also great to watch, Subaru is just a guy who refuses to give up.
And so, Subaru arrives. Newbaru is furious at his old self for not being some superman, but he respects him for continuing to fight despite being mostly worthless. The meeting is nice, and while I have my issues with this decision, I felt sad seeing Newbaru disappear. Ugh, that's good writing.
Subaru returns with some choice words for Rui. It ends with Rui vs Rui who's losing her mind as Subaru returns, will the Gluttony civil war be what wins this battle? Whatever the case, the number one knight has returned.
9/10, difficult to bash on good writing even I don't like the character, your win Re:Zero!
0. Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Calamity. Ep.7
SUMMARY
With Ichigo defeated physically and mentally, hope appears slim against the one with absolute power to change the future itself. Ichigo and everyone with him did their best, but it must be another to try their best at Yawach.
I've never liked Uryu, but this was an absolute showing from the guy this episode. Before that, we get the strangest combination of characters we could possibly get as they gather to Uryu's plan; bombs. This is without a doubt Ichigo's influence that pushes him to this plan, but it works to disorient Yawach just enough for everyone to strike.
The combined attack from Arrancar and Quincy was cool to see. If it ended this way would I be mad? Likely, I don't want Uryu taking that victory for himself, but every attack he dealt out here was top tier. A complete sphere of arrows after the attacks from his companions would have been a great way to secure victory, but it is not enough.
9/10, get up Ichigo
1. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3. Ep.11
SUMMARY
Am I ready for another turning pint? I don't think so, but here I am.
Nanahoshi has recovered and Rudy receives some well earned thanks. It's not all good news, the medicine she has taken is only a temporary fix. We have what she needs to not succumb to the illness, but her need to get home is greater, and Rudy will do all he can to help her do so.
It's praise all around for Rudy. Even Perugius thanks him for the opportunity to get one on an old foe, a reward is at hand. There is plenty Rudy could get from the legend, but the scare of the fight against Atofe leaves with one desire. Rudy wants the strength to protect his family. He does receive something that could help, but it would have been cool to see him train.
Impressing Perugius has to be a feat. Rudy's use of earth magic impresses the legend, can Ariel do the same? She receives a difficult question, what makes a king? Power, personality, money? We don't know for now, it's time to go back home!
Th return home is more of an update for the family. With all that is going on, Rudy decides to start a diary in hopes of not forgetting anything important. And with, we have another return.
It's been a long time since we've since this person, and when I saw turning point I was almost certain that the Man God would make an appearance. I love the detail of the Man God becoming clearer each time we see him. We get some interesting tidbits from the man god, including battle aura that Rudy hasn't ben able to use, or can for that matter. Rudy talks about going against Man God's advice here, and asks what would have happened had he not gone. Is Man God lying? I just can't trust him. Still, if it is true then it is a regret Rudy must accept. Such is fate, though it can be manipulated. Man god has a favor to ask, it's quite a simple ask but that smile is one that makes me certain he is up to something.
Rudeus wakes, ready to do as Man God asked. Someone else is with him however, it's none other than himself. A visitor from the future, I can't even imagine what this Rudeus has gone through to return in time.
10/10, Turning Point 4.
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
0. The Ghost in the Shell. Ep.10
SUMMARY
If the intro song wasn't so good I'd be a little mad about the starting cliffhanger.
Kusanagi and Co have always been a tricky group to deal with. Even if it seems like taking out Kusanagi is a possibility, it will be more difficult than a simple sniper as she sits in an open position.
Kusanagi escapes into a little robot head as Batou helps her look for another body. The first she had stored away has rotted, they'll have to pry the life out of another one. While a new body is being sourced, the puppet master returns.
Yea, puppet master was speaking above my level of brain until they mentioned fusion. What will become of them of them both? I love the line let's blur together, it has such a beautiful connotation to it, yet it can still be terrifying.
So who returns after the fusion? I could never tell you, but the person is one with an interest in life that is just as beautiful as the lines used by puppet master.
9/10, overall, a cool watch
0. Daemons of the Shadow Realm. Ep.22
SUMMARY
Didn't expect the bit of history we got here, though it's makes the case in wanting to deal with Shingo all the more concrete.
Yuru is getting a lot of information himself from Asa about the Kagemori family. The bunch don't seem like terrible people, though there are still bad apples as one has already been caught. While I may say they aren't terrible people, they are more than willing to get blood on their hands. Dera and the head of the Kagemori make this known about each other, and I could see them getting into it in the future.
Back at the Kagemori house, Akio is set to be interrogated and killed. Even his closest allies can't save him, and with due reason. While we wait for this, the attack on the clan isn't over, will everyone be ok?
8.7/10, the blows keep coming
0. Though I Am an Inept Villainess. Ep.9
SUMMARY
Reirin's request is denied, but more and more people are discovering the truth with in Keigetsu's body. This time, the prince has seen something that leads him to believe that his favorite lies within the body of another.
Can we not just bring Leelee over to the Kou clan? What's stopping them from allowing it? As a matter of fact, I will be angry if they don't allow it. She's such a sweetheart and her connection with Reirin has grown to the point that separating them would be cruel.
While I will keep my hopes up, Reirin continues her march to Keigetsu. While she does, we learn more about the reasons of Shu's actions. Losing her child and having her dear friend abandon her during such a difficult time has left filled with hatred, and the empress hopes to help quell it, even at the cost of herself.
The time has come, Keigetsu and Reirin meet face to face. There's a lot less physical altercation than I would have hoped. Keigetsu gives Reirin information on the counter to the curse, and we're lucky enough that Reirin's eccentric nature has given them just what they need.
8.5/10, Leelee remains with Reirin or I riot!
B: Good/Solid
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.
0. Skeleton Knight in Another World II. Ep.10
SUMMARY
Chiyome's worst fear comes true, though I am disappointed. If Sasuke is just under someone else's control then I think there is far less impact and a bit of a cop out in my opinion. True betrayal allows for growth and acceptance, but if he is just under control of another then its just a basic rescue mission.
The man with Sasuke under their control begins their attack on another town. An entire army of undead is under their control, but Arc and crew are on their way. We find Sasuke and his boss here, who just so happens to fall for the wonderful allure of Tsubome. I don't blame him, who wouldn't?
That's all we get today folks!
6.5/10, this season is missing the sauce
0. The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects. Ep.10
SUMMARY
Francoise is pregnant?! Dias has kids?!
Turns out the children of the orphanage are visiting Dias. We get to learn more about Dias's past from all the visitors, including the history of his parents. That's not all we learn, we have another vying for the position of Dias's wife though they are swayed by Alna's kindness within moments.
Alna isn't the only one that has to fight for her position, Francis must battle another of his kind to keep his position as head. The battle will be done through... song! Francoise ends victorious, though his opponent joins the crew as well after impressing Dias.
After a visit from the past, we get a big influx in population with Ellie and the others that are staying. His kingdom continues to grow, but he'll soon have a visit from Alna's side of the family.
7/10, family troubles
