Well things have happened! Welcome to Don’t @ Me, the place where apparently everything BUT High School DxD, gets new shit, and I drop my thoughts and ideas on everything anime and manga related. This week we discuss the recent news! Let’s get into it after the cut.
It’s Monday, which means it’s this time! Welcome to Don’t @ Me, the time where, like when Shion pisses herself upon realizing she’s fucked up royal, I deliver a gushing stream of opinions and views on Anime, manga and the like. You can probably tell I’ve been watching Higurashi, so let’s get into it after the cut!
1. I touched upon this in my twitter, but the OG Higurashi has really felt like a better version of Mirai Nikki, in the sense that it is a ID driven, teenage fantasy bloodbath that speaks to your inner 15 year old. Thankfully it has avoided Nikki’s downside of not being a rough draft of a better, tighter story.
2. It is also probably the only series where “they are just psycho, go with it” actually works, especially when you realize the true case behind the madness, real clever when you think about it. Really pumped to dish out my thoughts on that first season later this week.
3. The Journey of Elaina had a pretty dark episode this week, and I was all for it. Anime has never been shy about going this way, and it really shows that Elaina isn’t going to be a story about a girl solving everyone’s problems, but just a journey through life. All the good, and all the bad. Let’s hope it sticks with that.
4. Next hentai review is probably going to be an ugly bastard entry, but the one that is actually heartwarming as all fuck. So look forward to that.
5. I pulled the hot assassin lady from the new Fate GO gacha, but NOT the Illya alter-ego! My life fucking sucks man.
6. Kaguya-sama’s latest chapter was a real gut-punch to the feels. Rejection hurts, I know that, everyone does. But I take heart in knowing that the eventual triumph and payoff will be the best feeling in the world. Let’s hope the series can deliver.
7. I’ve pretty much accepted that Season 5 of High School DxD won’t be announced this year. Real damn shame. I’ve also come to terms that 4 seasons might be all we get, and honestly that is enough. Still, I want more ecchi!
8. Which means, it’s time to go shoulder deep into Valkyrie Drive Mermaid, one of the raunchiest titles yet. So hold on to your pearls!
My journey through this series has been an interesting one. At one point close to dropping it, then completely turning around and calling it not only my anime of 2019, but one of the best anime I’ve watched period. With the news that we would be getting a second season, I was both excited and nervous. Excited because the story would be continuing, and nervous in that I hoped that the first season wasn’t a complete fluke. As the one heavy-hitter that survived to actually air in the season it was suppose to, how did it end up? Well, join me after the cut as I dive into the second season of Kaguya-Sama: Love is War.
Last week most anime series aired their eighth episode! With that, it is time to revisit the anime I’m watching this spring 2020 and give you my thoughts. What’s gone up? What’s gone down? Let’s find out after the cut!
Welcome back to Don’t @ Me. The place where, like Hayasaka’s wonder ‘hey, hey’. I burst into a room to give you my thoughts and opinions on pretty much anything in this world of anime, etc, etc, blah blah. Today I’m just talking about the anime I’ve been watching this season, along with some other stuff. So let’s get into it after the cut!
Despite the mass of cancellations and delays, Spring 2020 has been a pretty solid season so far, despite having a lot of the ‘meat’ pushed back. I’ll admit that my previous list has changed significantly, but it is still time for that three episode check-in! Let’s get into it after the cut!
Like Aimer is for Fate Stay Night, and sweet ARMS is for Date A Live. The work by Masayuki Suzuki is fast becoming a staple of what makes Kaguya-Sama: Love is War work. The first opening theme was the best one in 2019, and while there is some stiff competition so far in 2020, the second has been a worthy successor. The tune of the week is the second opening to the series: DADDY! DADDY! DO! feat. Airi Suzuki by Masayuki Suzuki!
Winter 2020 has been a very meh affair. While it has been good for me to watch some shows that have been on the list, that won’t be the case with Spring 2020. The season is looking to be absolutely stacked (though a little less with ReZero being delayed), with so many series getting their second seasons. Expect this list to change, but let’s not waste anytime, join me after the cut as I tell you whats on my radar for Spring 2020!
That’s a very good touch….
Surprising in only the fact that it has taken longer than expected. Kaguya-Sama: Love is War joins the already impressive line-up of shows with a second season coming. This is a great thing, and again, it is shocking that it has taken this long. Love is War was a show that I almost dropped at the start, but has ended up not only being my favorite non-ecchi show of the year, but the current front-runner for my anime of 2019. It was an absolutely stellar show with awesome comedy, fun characters and a wholesome romance that was light on melodrama and heavy on the antics. Coupled with a catch theme song and more memes to shake as stick at, it was a given that we would return to this world sooner than later.
If for some reason you haven’t watched this show yet, absolutely go give it a look. It is so far the only anime from early 2019 (aside from Date A Live III) that has stuck in my mind. It is really that fucking good. I can’t wait to watch more if it and see the mind-games between our two leads continue.
We aren’t done with the One Year Anniversary just yet. I pushed this back one day, but Don’t @ Me, like the sex drive of Takuya from YU-NO, simply can’t be stopped. Join me after the cut as I smack down ten of my opinions on…since it’s the anniversary post, pretty much anything I want! Enjoy!
