What out-of-season anime have you watched recently?
Psycho666Soldier replied to Vic Boss's topic in Anime & Manga
Yeah, I'm not always great at keeping up with shit when it's actually relevant But here I am now! More people should definitely watch if they haven't. -
The Cards got that devil magic, but they're still seven games below .500 and second last in a pretty bad division. There's still time left for them to go on a run and eventually win the division, especially because the other teams are not the greatest... I think the NLC comes down to Milwaukee or St. Louis. The Pirates were a fun story to start the season but I think it's all downhill from here for them

Skip and Loafer continues to be AOTS for me, I adore this show and all the characters (even Mika )

Odd Taxi was indeed very good. I kept praising it in the seasonal thread ... holy shit that was like two years ago now Anyways, nobody else got on board to discuss it with me at the time I loved everything about this one! -

Just finished Odd Taxi last night. Holy shit, that's such a good show. The mystery aspect, the art style, the way dialogue is handled, and then of course the plot reveals at the end. Absolutely loved this show. Excited to watch the movie later. -
6.) The Last Case of Benedict Fox Was a fun little Metroidvania style game. A little lighter on combat and heavier on puzzles than your typical faire here, but that suits me fine. Story was interesting enough, and had a bit of a Lovecraftian vibe to it. Puzzles were pretty solid and decently challenging and worked well with the Metroidvania back-and-forthing through the maps. Decent game length and progressing felt pretty smooth. Some of the platforming was a bit spotty, but nothing so frustrating that it became a burden. Made for a nice distraction.

1) Star Wars: Jedi - Fallen Order 2) Spelunky (Olmec Run) 3) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 4) (NES) The Legend of Zelda 5) The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom What a fantastic game. It knocks Breath of the Wild down a peg on my top Zelda games list (Link to the Past is still my favorite), and improves on the first game in just about every way. It feels like there's so much to do, even outside of the main quest. Lots of side quests, lots of people to meet. It was so wonderful going back to the same version of Hyrule (which I don't think has really been done outside of LttP/Link Between Worlds), seeing how things have changed, and reconnecting with a ton of characters from the last game. You actually get to see the aftermath of helping out each of the regions instead of things just somewhat changing. The sky is a bit sparse from what I was expecting, but they more than make up for it by practically having the inverse of the entire overworld hiding just below the surface: mountain ranges become valleys, and vice versa. There's a moment in the story about 2/3 of the way through that blew my mind. My only real complaint is (and this is 100% a me thing) I thought I was getting close to the end way before I actually was, so I got a bit impatient near the end. Even with that tiny complaint, the game is well worth it if you enjoyed Breath of the Wild. I could keep going but it's late and my partner is sleeping not far behind me. If you liked the last game, you should love this one.

I've been enjoying Insomniacs after School which has been a pretty enjoyable slice of life anime for me this season. Hell's Paradise E8

Ep 7 Village Arc

I feel like a few manga where competitions are held have had the protagonists lose. Maybe it's mostly Showha Shoten I'm thinking of, but that feeling alone makes me want to see Akane pull this off. Sakamoto Days has been awesome the last few chapters, too. Excited to see how this all resolves, and it was cool to see the origins of The Order. I wonder if we'll get to see how the newer members joined? Or that super old guy. I've also been following Tenmaku Cinema and been enjoying that so far. Haven't really read any of the other new series, though, and not sure they particularly interest me. I definitely don't have high hopes for Nue's Exorcist considering it's the same creator as Bone Collector, and that was pretty crap. Elusive Samurai Ichinose Family

You mentioned what's going on with the Cardinals and like that they sweep the Red Sox, take the series against the Brewers and pound the crap out of the Dodgers last night. Seems like they're fine.

Yay! It's great

Since i finally have some free time. I'm catching up on Skip to Loafer. It's cute. Nice slice of life fluff with the fuzzy feels.

5.) Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened I've always enjoyed these Frogware Sherlock Holmes games off and on over the years. They're always slightly janky but never prohibitively so, and they're a fun relaxing play. This is one I actually backed this one on Kickstarter since a Sherlock meets Lovecraftian horror type story seemed interesting. Actually had no idea it was a remake of an older game. This one carries off of their "reboot" series though that started with Sherlock: Year One (which I haven't played yet). Based on things I've read, this one is a bit of a let down compared to the original, but as I have no played it, I rather enjoyed it. Some interesting puzzles, and story even if some of it felt rushed and a little disjointed. I enjoyed myself. May have to grab the original at some point to see how if the claims hold true.

Ep 6 of Village arc

The Elusive Samurai #109 Finally something exciting is set to happen in Jujutsu Kaisen We also skipped ahead to big stuff in Akane-banashi! I am kind of nervous to see things go for Akane. Latest chapters of Sakamoto Days have been great too. Very curious to see the conclusion of these flashback chapters.

I'm not really a hockey fan anymore, and certainly not much of a Leafs fan even if I still watched hockey. So they don't faze me anymore They always find a way to disappoint. I was more bummed about the Raptors this season. They have some talented players but they're an awful team. It was a terrible thing to watch. My Blue Jays might also disappoint me in the end this summer, but that could be more of an "out of their control" situation. The AL East is tough. They could win a ton of games and still come up short.

Every week Hell's Paradise confuses me in a new and interesting way I am not exactly loving this show, but I'm not hating it either. I guess it's one of those "it's just OK but you have to watch it to see what happens" kind of shows. Skip and Loafer continues to be the runaway hit for me this season. I look forward to it the most every week.

Hell's Paradise 7

I mean at least the are winning series against bad teams. The pitching is fine, but the offense could end up being a problem. It's a shame that with the way the scheduling is done now we only play the A's 13 times instead of 19-20. So uh you okay up there? Maple Leafs you know finally winning a playoff series, but then losing like they did to Florida. I mean to be fair the Panthers also beat Boston.
-
Agreed. It was nice to get a villain who was one because he could be. Just a brainy asshole.
-
I loved the way they did the High Evolutionary. No sob backstory, no attempts to shine a light on a brighter side to what he's doing/done. Just sheer, irredeemable, egomaniac. A sympathetic or relatable villain is nice sometimes, but there have been far too many lately. I've missed this sort of character popping up once in a while.
