Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 First Cour: Bad Timeline

After three seasons, most people have come to their conclusions regarding this series. People either think it is a fantastic series, or people think it is the worst thing on the planet and anyone who thinks otherwise is clearly a criminal. I of course believe in nuance, but I am of the belief that Jobless remains one of the best isekai shows in the last ten years. Have such feelings continued as we enter its third outing? Well after the cut, let’s take a dive into the first cour of Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 and find out!

The 100 Girlfriends who Reallyx5 Love you: Dewbond continues to reallyx5 love this show.

Peak has returned! I normally don’t like saying such things because I find them overused, but this has been a joy to see come to life. The Harem genre has more or less been on a downward slide since the highs of the 2000s and 2010s, but every now and then a real gem comes along and this is no exception. However we’ve now had three seasons of this and it is fair to ask the question: has that shine worn off? Well after the cut, let’s take a dive into the third season The 100 Girlfriends who Reallyx5 Love you and find out!

The Ghost in the Shell: Deja-Vu

I’ve been on a bit of a kick with this series for the last few months. I recently watched the classic film, and I’ve been working my way through the Stand Alone Complex series. So it was a surprise that around the same time it all started, it was revealed we would be getting another installment! And not just a sequel or remake, but a full on, true to form, adaptation of the original manga work. Like many, I had never taken a look at the manga, and coupled with the animation but Science Saru, I figured we’d be in for a good series. Did that end up being the case? Well after the cut let’s take a dive into The Ghost in the Shell and find out!

Fate/strange Fake: In America!

Been trying to get to this one for months now, but life just got in the way. People will know I am a big Fate fan. I’ve watched pretty much everything and it is one of those series that I just adore, warts and all. Yet if we are going to be fair, I think the series has more than its few shares of misses. For every hit like Blade Works or Zero, you have something like Last Encore or some of the Grand Order films. This is expected in a large franchise and personally I think it is healthy for a fandom to have a few clunkers in its catalogue. That brings us to the newest entry for Fate and just where will it fall? Well after the cut let’s take a dive into Fate/strange Fake and find out!
