Another week is upon us, which means another weekly thread. For those of you out there that prescribe to the three episode rule of thumb for shows, it is crunch time for shows to prove their worth. As always, please use this thread however you like, whether that be questions, comments, suggestions, etc. Some examples might be:
- Who did it better, Frieren’s First Class Mage Exam or Harry Potter’s Tri-Wizard Tournament?
- Is The Dangers in My Heart a cautionary tale about high cholesterol?
- In Blue Exorcist, why doesn’t somebody cheer him up?
As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).
I am going to have to check this one out. I have only heard good things since this season started and I am a sucker for a good romance anime. Hokkaido Gals just didn’t do it for me this season.
I agree with the sentiment here. This is one I want to love so badly because I love the aesthetic, vibe, OST, everything about it, but just have not connected with the story yet. The first two episodes felt completely narratively disconnected from one another, like they were telling two different stories entirely.
I hear people praise different Gundam series often, but as somebody that hasn’t really watched any Gundam other than random episodes of Gundam Wing on Toonami years ago, I have no idea where to start. Just looking up this series on AniList, you are presented with a bunch of different relations to the greater Gundam-verse:
It feels intimidating to break into.
I wanted to get into Gundam for years and always put it off for that reason. Suisei no Majo was my entry because it is completely detached from the other timelines/universes and it was airing weekly. The first half is very good, but unfortunately I cannot recommend it because it falls off a cliff in the last episodes.
Turn A probably isn’t the best choice as a second series, but I’m at episode 20 and understood 99.99% of the plot. Afaik it isn’t actually connected to the other universes, but is like the convergence of all timelines thousands of years into the future.
I will complete Turn A and proceed with the UC route following the r/anime wiki guide.
