I remember that @Apreche once posted a manga panel of a guy with a gun for a head.
Well, they’re making an anime of it.
missed opportunity to call it “Loose Cannon Cop”
First Beastars, then No Guns Life? Fuck, it’s starting to look like someone just went “Hey let’s just make anime for that one Churba guy.” Anyone got any requests?

The World Of S&M/The World Exists For Me, the manga Ikuhara did with Chiho Saito.
I got my hopes up for a second there, since I loved Nana to Kaoru. But hey, I’ll check it out anyway, and if I’m into it your chances are good.

Has anyone been watching the new season of Anime? this season is pretty fantastic.
So far Fire Force has been the standout of the season, which is…unexpected, considering this is the author of Soul Eater. Nevermind
Vinland saga has also been really good. It’s wit studio, so the animation is real pretty, but the Manga it’s based on is spectacular, so I’m super pumped for this adaptation.
Astra: Lost in Space has some They were eleven Vibes, not entirely clear what’s going on in the show. Really liked the first episode, second episode was “meh”, need to watch episode 3
Dr. Stone is basically Civ: The anime, and I’m super here for it, even if the show is 80% exposition.
Dr. Stone is just the Primitive Technology youtube channel if the dude had green anime hair.

I’ve heard really good things about Vinland Saga. Unfamiliar with the manga, but very very familiar with the actual Norse sagas, and I’ve heard this is a fairly accurate implementation.
`The board game anime is gonna get watched.

The music is really good too. Was surprised how well developed Angela’s character arc went.
Beastars is yeh.
After a long break in the Summer it is Anime season for me again. I finally finished off Darling in the Franxx which was okay. I started the series when it first came out but kind of stopped halfway through though I liked the worldbuilding and themes. Unfortunately it didn’t really stick the landing because it kind of undermines its own worldbuilding in an exposition episode. I still watched it to completion because I had fun withit regardless but it definitely isn’t the must see it kind of looked like at the start.
Instead I discovered a new A+ show for me in Kaguya-sama: Love is War. That show kind of passed me by, mostly because what I saw of it primarily focused on a supporting character to the point where I thought she’d be the title character. She is there for the Otaku appeal as the cute, ditzy genki girl, and I mean, she fulfills that purpose I guess, but the show is so much more than the random moe-bait it appeard to me. None of the sources I usually trust also either neglected the show, or I simply missed what they had to say.
The show is actually about two main characters, a boy and a girl who are respectively student council president and vice president of a prestigious upper-crust high school. And they are in love with each other. However, because both are also immensely prideful and competitive due to their position and accomplishments, they loathe the idea of having to confess to the other, seeing it as a surrender. So they both try various schemes and plots in order to make the other person fall in love with them and confess.
This show is actually a “psychological battle anime” in the vein of Death Note, Kaiji or Kakegurui, the last of which it shares both the setting of a school for rich kids and notable style elements, e.g. the amazing opening. In fact I only started watching the show after seeing a video by Super Eyepatch Wolf about the concept of these “non-battle battle anime” that clued me in on the true nature of the show. The brilliance in Kaguya-sama however is that it takes all these dirty tactics and attempts to outmaneuver your opponent and plays them for laughs. It is the best anime comedy I’ve seen in years. It has me constantly rolling in the aisles.
If you’ve ever read Bakuman you are familiar with the concept of “serious comedy”, which is to say comedy that arises from the ridiculous situations of people who are deathly serious about their actions, and Kaguya-sama is the best fucking example of this concept I have ever seen.
Seriously, watch this show.
