It looks like instead of doing the sensible thing like most of the game based anime do and animate the characters properly they managed to do some poorly put together FPS project that looks like it was taken right out of a playstation 1 title. It's ridiculous because the anime itself looks like it has well done characters and everything but they're all acting like this guys some l33t gamer and it's just them running around hip firing at character models on the screen LOL. It's polygon journalist levels of gaming.
There's a lot of good shit dropping and it feels like I'm having an anime buffet this winter but just be warned there's some really bad stuff too. If anyone wants to watch a game based anime that isn't an RPG there are way better options.
Yeah this is the soggy lettuce of the anime buffet bar this season.
If you want something I can recommend that ISN'T a sequel (as easy to promote something with a track record) look at 'My Daughter left the nest and returned an S ranked adventurer'
I've read the manga for it so interested in the anime, it's fantasy where a man who lost his foot to a monster, lives his life in a small village, finds a baby girl in the woods and raises her. Can confirm from my reading, there is NO daughter wants to fuck the dad! No Usagi drop! She just admires her dad a lot and is a really wholesome relationship, with the anime having a nice soundtrack and excellent male role model vibes.
Oh I'm watching everything just to see what's good and what's not, it's that sort of season this time around. The thing about the season 2's it's a good thing because you're getting something of a reliable feed of entertainment. There's certain stuff I've watched like Isekai Nonbiri and recommended to people that I want to see get Season 2 and continued because the depth is all there.
It's also a harem anime that manages to be incredibly wholesome which is a major rarity in the anime industry and it looks like it's doing that well in Japan they'd probably consider it. Can't forget about stuff like Goblin Slayer and Faraway Paladin. These are all proper stories that have been planned out, they're not just trash that's been thrown together and keeps getting seasons to fill the timeslots.
I was disappointed in the first couple episodes of Farm Isekai because it had the audacity to skip past winter in a show about farming but it turned it around and ended up being pretty good. There was one moment of localizer vandalism in the subtitles where they used singular they for the big female spider but I overlooked it.
Royal they. English doesn't have a singular they for a specific entity. If you're referring to a specific entity as a plurality, "they" are that plurality, the representative of the nation. Same as the royal "we". The people memeing on pronouns saying "Your Holiness/Your Holinesses" aren't actually that far off.
I know it doesn't, and you know it doesn't, but there are thousands of very loud and very stupid communists who are absolutely convinced it does.
Having just finished the first episode of Faraway Paladin a few hours ago...gotta say season 2 is opening really fucking weak. Sluggish pacing and absolutely no hook. I guess that might be down to faithfully following the source material but damn am I having second thoughts about following it this season.
Surprise powerhouse out of left field for me this season is Kingdoms of Ruin. Maybe I'm just a sucker for angry protagonists out to burn the world down but the first episode has me keen to see our boy go on a rampage.
It depends on what sort of anime it is but honestly I never considered slow pacing to be a bad thing. If they take fucking forever to get to the point of the story and rely on cringe cliffhangers to set you up for the next episode that's when I get annoyed and drop, that and filler episodes as well. I also think that recap episodes are an absolute scourge in anime and don't know who they're meant for.
It's a slower show in general I think, but this season opened with zero movement whatsoever, which was a stark contrast to last season where I was able to get invested without any trouble.
