How can it feel jarring that it's breaking rules it never established?
speaking of shieldbro why was using the balloon things not cheating when the girl interfering was? Are monsters allowed to interfere? Do they not count as intelligent and therefore are more like objects in the duel? Was it because a party member interfered? Did I miss and explanation or something?
I assume they considered it a weapon of his choosing seeing as they allowed both participants to pick through a bunch of weapons before a duel. That was my thought anyways.
Mob Psycho was great as per usual
I honestly think that the arc was slightly better in the manga though. This episode missed out one some of the most emotionally impactful moments (Mob getting stabbed, the Cat being killed) that really drove home just how dire and hopeless Mob's situation was. Wouldn't be surprised if that was due to it being televised, but it is what it is. they also probably could have cut out the OP to great effect to add a little more weight to the 6 months Mob spent in Mogami's AU, but at that point I'm kind of nitpicking.
I haven't begun watching anything else this season (going to wait for them to be finished before I start) but the fact that it seems like there are some other shows genuinely competing with this tells me that this is a really strong season.
this episode of mob psycho 100 is what you get when you blow an entire season's worth of animation budget on one episode
Not really, though, since the rest of the season has been excellent as well and there's no reason to doubt that the quality will stay consistent throughout
i really didn't like mob psycho 100 the first time i watched it. i had just come off one punch man, watched the first episode and it was a bit too wacky. but giving it another go now, it is actually super fun, i was definitely wrong about it.
The studio that animated Houseki no Kuni's next anime is fucking Beastars. God knows how that's gonna look.

Don't recall if they address this in the anime, but Shield Hero can hold other weapons, as long as he doesn't intend to use them as one. Which is why he's able to cook and mine.
Started Daily Lives of High School Boys, first anime in a long time. This is amazing, it's like watching 4chan greentexts made into anime. You know, the ones that start with "> be me" and end either with "see ya later virgins" or Eric Andre's "WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK". Everything with the "literary girl" is pure gold.
mob psycho 2 episode 5
this shit was like the season finale, but it's only episode 5.
god damn.

Vinland saga PV, i'm so freakin excited

pv with a small clip.
anyone else think that in tate no yuusha the other heroes are treating him too nicely? i dont remember it being llike that in the manga, though it has been a while
IIRC they're completely clueless but they don't actually hate Naofumi. Unlike the King and the cunt, the others aren't actively trying to drag him down. The spear dude is just a complete moron.
I never read the manga or LN so I'm not sure how they treated him there I only read some summaries.
hm yeah reading those pages again and they act that way in the manga too.
though i gotta say the changes in the anime are all for the worse. the hallucination in the duel, the race (which was in general pretty poorly animated imo) and how filo shows her strength right away
Just finished watching Boogiepop Phantom. While it's almost entirely original, although it partially adapts some of the first arc to build off, it's kind of embarrassing to Boogiepop And Others with just how much better it is direction and writing-wise. Which is a heavy knock considering that it's basically the director's Boogiepop fanfic.

R U guys watching Boogiepop?
I'm watching Boogiepop and seven episodes in I'm still waiting for something interesting to happen. It consistently aggressively avoids doing anything particularly engaging and mistakenly thinks that it'll be mysterious by showing you a boring take on the events that are occurring. It almost gets close to going somewhere in episode four before swerving away every time it gets close to going somewhere. It feels like something interesting is probably happening, but you're getting the dullest take on it from the worst perspective.
Direction-wise it's also incredibly bland and has zero atmosphere. Right now the only real thing it has going for it is a great OP and fantastic music courtesy of the man who brought you Ping Pong and Devilman Crybaby's OST.
idk man. I think it just might not be your style. boogiepop's style reminds me a lot to that of serial experiments lain, where its kinda confusing on purpose and requires you to put the pieces together. Its certainly not for everyone, and I can understand if someone doesn't like it.
I just came off of Boogiepop Phantom which is way more deliberately confusingly presenting, I find Boogiepop wa Warawanai to just be straight up uninteresting with boring characters, failing to capitalise on any of its concepts. I have no trouble following it or seeing what it's trying to do because it's very straightforward and lacking in subtlety.
So, Dragon Maid S2 apparently?? I hope it's true. There's just one "source" confirming it atm.
Can't wait to be bashed by certain users here for watching it.
Highlander: The Search for Vengeance is a-okay. Good 80's Post-Apoc OVA made in 2006.
I rly hope its real

this week's dororo god damn
I don't know why I'm watching Seitokai Yakuindomo but I'm not even sure I'm supposed to enjoy it. Not the forced sex jokes of course, those get old really fast. But watching the adventures of Takatoshi "Thot Patrol" Tsuda just struggling on a daily basis to ignore the constant assault on his dick is just so fun and relatable. Also the comedic timing and editing is on point.
