I've been planning to do this for a few weeks now, which is having weekly rotating topics about entertainment that we're consuming.
Having a weekly cadence is too much for a specific topic (i.e.games like Half-KIA has tried), but I imagine we can rotate stuff like anime, manga and games plus any other hobby since we're nerds of varying extent and it's fun to discuss these things.
This week: what movies, animes, or other videos have you watched recently or watching?
After I finished Legend of the Galactic Heroes I vowed never to binge watch another series again. So I watch one episode of one show each week.
The ones I'm watching are:
Berserk (1997) - Excellent.
Redo of Healer - Meh, I think it's a budget version of Rance.
Log Horizon S2- Fun, but nothing special.
Monster - I'm liking it so far. A nice change of pace from all the fantasy stuff.
Inuyasha - I'm watching this one with JP subs. Too many strange terms are thrown around, so It takes me a long time to get through each episode. I chose this one because I watched it when it was being aired all those years ago.
Yuru Camp S1- Re-watching in preparation for the second season. Mein Comf, 10/10 would recommend.
I sometimes watch Terrace House with JP subs, but it's a bit boring. I wish the girls were cuter...
"While many can pursue their dreams in solitude, other dreams are like great storms blowing hundreds, even thousands of dreams apart in their wake. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men’s hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams." - Griffith
I can understand why Log Horizon got an anime adaption, because it's a popular novel. Looking at it from the perspective of source material, however, it seems like a bad choice.
Though it was a long time ago, I read the first 6-7 novels before it was licensed and fan translations stopped. I haven't revisited it since.
None of the contents really seemed extremely exciting in terms of action, so anything outside of literature as a medium feels non-ideal. Of course, that's just my opinion, but I feel that way for a lot (but definitely not all) in the isekai genre.
