I've seen only the first season and the spin-off Heya Camp, and I agree that it is awesomely wholesome and just entertaining to watch these girls camp. No plot driving anything, no secret background mystery, just girls camping. I definitely plan to watch Season 2 at some point.

There's another anime that's on my radar to watch that I feel like might offer a similar experience. It's called Let's Make A Mug Too, and it's basically girls enjoying pottery. Already had two seasons!

 

I finally finished My Hero Season 5. I only had two episodes left when it came out, but got distracted.

What a letdown of an ending. The charm/novelty of the series is really starting to wear off.

 

Damn you’re still well ahead of me haha, think i’m on volume 13? Starting the Little Garden arc now

 

Yep. It didn’t help that the whole first half was just fighting each other with no plot.

 

Spice & Wolf Fantasy Novels Get New Anime

Oh fuck yes. Who's ready for more adventures of Kraft Lawrence and Holo the Wise Wolf? I know I am.

 

I love this series so much.

 

So I have four more episodes of Trigun to watch, and then I'm done with that series. Really enjoyed it and felt it had a solid mix of silliness and seriousness, leaning farther into the latter toward the back half.

I feel like I respect Vash as a character and his whole perspective of trying to resolve conflicts without killing, but I also find myself agreeing with Wolfwood to a degree that his whole way of life is impossible to live without causing other people unnecessary suffering because he's left some very evil people alive to commit more crimes. At some point, something has to give with a philosophy like that.

It's like Batman and the Joker. It's like, I get Batman's rationalizations that the Joker is insane and that killing him would put Batman both at odds with the law and potentially take him down a slippery slope mentally, but at some point I feel like push has to come to shove, otherwise you're just as complicit as the people you're fighting against. At what point does it become okay to judge the guilty to protect the innocent?

Anyway, once I'm done with Trigun, I still have Food Wars: The Fifth Plate and Vinland Saga to watch, but I'm anxious to spin the wheel, so I'm gonna spin the RNG wheel and add four more series to my list.

(spins wheel)

And the winners are: Gleipnir, Nichijou, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Gate. I'm kind of excited because Gate and Nichijou have been on my to do list for quite some time now.

 

Nichijou rules, I think about the deer vs principal fight daily

 

let’s go

 

Well shit. I cancelled Crunchyroll and switched to Funimation cause I heard it was the other way around

 

Thank fucking God. The Funimation app is horrendous.

 

Agreed. I wish Crunchyroll had a smart TV app though

 

I have it on my Roku TV. The interface sucks but most streamers do

I’m hearing this means a lot of anime will leave Hulu? Didn’t realize funimation licensed to them?

 

I didn't know that either, but it makes sense.

 

Crunchyroll logs me out like every two weeks I hate it just as much lmao

 

I feel like I'm either lucky or crazy because with the exception of some minor things every blue moon, I never have any problems with Crunchyroll

 

I use VRV and never have any major issues with it

Currently watching Food Wars: The Fifth Plate.

Besides the further adventures of Soma, Erina, and Megumi being like a welcoming old friend, it's just nice after three straight series with varying degrees of death and darkness (Plunderer, Psycho-Pass, and Trigun) to watch something where the stakes don't go higher than "will they fail at cooking".

 

And now I've finished it.

I admittedly held off on watching The Fifth Plate for so long because I'd heard it wasn't as good as the previous seasons.

I feel like it was just perfectly fine. It was a great celebration of the entire series and wrapped up lingering plotlines in a decent enough way.

Granted, random characters would show up for reasons that more or less translated to "way for us to work this character into the season", but I really didn't mind it at all. Same goes for the absolute batshit cooking methods.

The only problem I had is that the end kind of glossed over the revelation about Asahi's parentage. I feel like that should have been a much bigger deal than it was treated, but oh well.

I also wish they'd shown what Erina actually made.

Anyway, Gleipnir is only 13 episodes and the others on my list right now are 24, so I might knock that out next.

 

Funimation's content joining Crunchyroll means I'll probably end up watching a lot of older series again like Yu Yu Hakusho, Cowboy Bebop and more.

I love newer stuff, but I feel like I'm just not invested in anything recently.

 

Yep YYH is on there. Cowboy Bebop is on Netflix FYI

 

Started Gleipnir, two episodes in and this is already some loco bananas shit.

There are these coins being collected by a guy who lives inside a vending machine, and returning his coins makes him grant you a wish, except he horribly twists it like Wishmaster to turn you into a monster.

The protagonist turns into a giant mascot costume and meets a cute-but-psycho girl who decides she's going to wear him in his costume form and use him to kill other monsters so she can find her sister, who also was turned into a monster.

Oh, and the protagonist turns into a costume because he has a stalker with a crush who found a coin and forced her wish onto him for some reason.

I am fully and truly onboard for this acid trip.
