I’m an anime only cuz I spoiled the manga surprise for myself. In my opinion, a good show should always be good throughout to be “good”.

​@@MooseKINGstudios depending on what surprise you have spoiled there might be some more waiting in store so I would say stick to the anime until it ends without spoiling yourself further. I think the thing that makes it difficult to explain is the overall twist about how the world in Undead works, as a manga reader the reveals are always a high point of the series and you want people to experience it the same way. In terms of the quality though I am of the opinion that it has always been good since the beginning, the positive reactions to the first two episodes can testify to that. It's just the writing, pacing, design, and setting of the manga are so different with contemporary shonen series people find it difficult to just let go and enjoy the story without having everything making sense from the get-go.

It's easy... What's good about Undead Unluck ? Absolutely fucking nothing...

As someone who came into Frieren almost entirely blind, mainly knowing how well-regarded the manga was and that the director had been responsible for Bocchi the Rock last year, I was… devastated, I think is the right word, in a positive sense. The way that it uses such a simple, straightforward and sincere take on the high fantasy genre to say some incredibly resonant and profound things about mortality and how time makes one reflect upon the past and transforms even trivial events into things deeply consequential took me completely off-guard and shattered my heart into pieces. In the episode where Frieren and Fern search for flowers, there is this little moment where Frieren remembers Himmel first telling her about blue moon weed in passing, and without any word to the effect being said, there is this realisation that she finally understands not only how he felt about her, but how she felt about him, decades after he had already passed away, and I was speechless. The only thing keeping me from sobbing was the fact that I was watching it with friends and felt the tiniest bit too self-conscious about completely breaking down.

I only found out about it when I saw the ONE HOUR AND A HALF premier of the show on a licensed anime channel here on YT. To put out a movie-length introductory episode for an anime series is extremely confident of the studio (which is Madhouse btw) and that just made me interested. And boy do they freaking deliver. A Fantasy genre anime with an unexpected twist in that the show began during the Epilogue of the standard Fantasy storyline? With no Isekai in sight at all? With actual emotional heavyweight plot beats that WORKED? Also the promise of the show's antagonists actually being Evil instead of just pushovers? WITH 26 PLANNED EPISODES??? I don't watch anime much these days (the last time I was so excited about anime was Chainsaw Man and Violet Evergarden) but Frieren really made me excited to wait for the episodes to drop.

Just a few things to potentially peek people's interest in this show: the MC has character flaws but is/was never a horrible person, just someone spoiled by her station in life and who grew up ignorant to the plight of the people, so she genuinely tries to learn from and correct her mistakes the story thus far has balanced dark and emotional moments, with some genuinely solid moments of comedy the people who caused the revolution are not depicted as totally evil or unjustified in how they treated the MC in her previous life the supporting characters have distinct and memorable personalities and are written in a way that lets them simultaneously be both capable and dumb when the story needs them to act in a certain way

Isekai is just, SO convenient for worldbuilding I think is the big problem. It's a lot easier to give exposition to someone new to the world than someone from it who should already know these things.

it's crazy how in a season that's basically filled with GL (shy, vexations, stardust, ilwtv) and adjacent (100 gfs), the one that's known in its LN form (villainess) to be one of the most influential ever is the one having to fight off the competition. I will say that the art of villainess is intentional since its trying to use the budget constraints to look like an 00s shojo otome game. like the eyes were a dead giveaway (also seriously go fucking watch it. it gets like famously good with this/after this episode coming up since the real setting/conceit gets shown. There's a reason its the first GL show ever simuldubbed)

@@skeletor8951 That joke peters off. It's the initial setup, not what the series is about. It's already by far the best series this season, but if it's not for you, it's not for you.

@@skeletor8951 Yeah. the main joke will take more of a background. Actually, that process even started with first promise, Rae becoming the maid and that last conversation in second episode. I would describe it as peak queer fiction, discussing a large range of topics from homophobia and transphobia to rape and incest, even poverty and the church to some really philosophical topics like longevity of love and identity. It is pretty good at writing a story and foreshadowing future plot points and while it's world is somewhat standard until hitting the fifth volume, it serves it's purpose. Characters are good, even if most don't get a large spotlight, when looking at the entire story. There is a lot of them, and the focus is on the two main ones. Although, to be honest, Rae became really fascinating to me only in the last novel, something anime won't get to. Claire became really fascinating to me in the second half of the first half of the story, something I hope anime will cover. They are both very well explored by the end of first half, even if some things about Rae don't fit perfectly with the knowledge given to that point. So if you really dislike the gimmick or find Rae very uncomfortable, I recommend skipping, it will stay in the background for the entirety of anime, even if progressing further and further background as characters get used to Rae. The gimmick is dropped after the first half, but anime won't cover that.

If ever you needed a reason to hate the mountains of shit that dilute the genres so people are less likely to give new stuff a try on the grounds that it's just more shit to put on the pile, there you have it.

Can't wait until we get into the deep stuff of Villainess, writing is fantastic, starts with a comedy-like plot but the world building and actual plot picks up pretty quickly, It has real life problems and very serious topics. Animation aside, I hope they can do the justice in the story passing.

I'm beyond happy and hyped for the Undead Unluck anime and with the manga being insanely great no doubt in my mind David Productions will deliver which they have so far plus the music is awesome too. Also Frieren looking awesome and sounding great so far, JJK Shibuya Incident arc popping off, Spy X Family S2 is dope so far, Dr. Stone S3 part 2 LFG and I wanna check out 100 GFs, Shy, Shangri La Frontier and Pluto for sure when I get time.

The fact that you were able to squeeze in Scott Pilgrim footage at the last minute is impressive.

I’ve been watching Frieren, Shangri-la Frontier, and Undead Unluck. They are all so hype and so great. My favorites of the season for sure!!!! I’ve been a UU fan since chapter 5ish and I just started reading Frieren and SLF before the anime came out! Frieren is one of those softer fantasies that gives you gut punches in a meaningful way. Shangri-la Frontier is a breath of fresh air because it’s an Isekai that isn’t trashy or “if you die in the game you die in real life” bullshit. Just a series about a videogame with deep game mechanics to keep you going. Undead Unluck has one of the most creative power systems and world building I’ve seen in a long ass time. Not only that but having the team behind fire force shows that you can leave SHAFT all you want, but shaft can never leave you. (Ps: the groping shit goes away literally scene 1 of episode 2 so if your uncomfy with that it doesn’t stick around for very long)

Undead Unluck is the manga equivalent of doing a 2nd playthrough of 3 Houses, and for preserving what makes it so great i will not be elaborating But seeing it and Frieren get such dream adaptations as a reader and being the only 2 shows I really truly cared about this season, i feel like I won a lottery somewhere and the cosmic toll will be fierce.

I love these ones to watch. My favorite content from your channel. Keep it up

Undead Unluck will be a pretty solid anime. Just ignore the assault until ep 4.

And unfortunately it might be that way for a lot of the viewers of the anime which can hurt its ratings and might not let it go as far as I want it to.

And unlike other series he's called out for his attitude and behavor. And people rightfully tell Fuuko she goes too easy on him. Even in episode 2 Andy himself calls her a pushover when it comes to her feelings. So the series it'self is aware of how awkward their relationship is in the begining.

I came to Shangri-La Frontier basically on a whim. Saw its ad at the top of Crunchyroll while I was rewatching all of Doctor Stone for the third time. And I decided to give it a shot after the description told me it was actually *about* people playing a vast video game, rather than a trapped-in-a-game isekai plot. 2 episodes in, and the snow has proven to be quite a bit of fun, and the Absolute Virtue-sized plot hook at the end of episode 2 has me interested.

Frieren Beyond Journey's End is definitely the peak!

Lately it feels like I come for the chapter titles almost as much as the recommendations themselves. Magnificent.

Tom Bombadil is not filler content. The entire history of Middle Earth is filler content in Tom Bombadil's story.

Good Night World came out and... it's a gamer anime for like 4-5 eps... it's an emotional psychological roller coster after that and it's really good

In my opinion, Frieren: Beyon Journey's End is really worth watching. The thing I liked most about it is the opening. The anime definitely has some negatives and the drama in it is good, but it didn't hit me that hard, so it is difficult to judge it from now, but from the start I can say that the anime is really good, but it isn't that great, for me.

As always pinnacle Anime recommendations. Love the vids.

Thank you for the coverage sir ☺️🙏

Can't believe Shangri-la Frontier is only now getting an adaptation. Found the manga almost a year ago now and it's sooo good. The characters are so expressive and fun. Can't wait to see how the adaptation goes.

For people who are into yuri, I HIGHLY recommend I Favor the Villainess (though I do get why it didn't make the top list). While it's story starts pretty slow (I do think it might get more interesting after these first few episodes), and I am pretty sad that the animation doesn't seem to have been given much space to do anything interesting, the story does some interesting things that I hope will make it into the show, (directly talk about lgbt issues in a very frank and upfront way, like, as in the author is a lesbian and the light novel outright discusses the experience of being a lesbian in Japan-- I promise that's not a spoiler to say, it's a big theme of the story) and the world is actually a lot more complex than it looks on the outset, though the revelations as to how, what, and why, are very late into the light novel and I will not spoil them here. What I will say is that it is a real treat and very sweet, despite its flaws. I may be pushing it because I'm desperate for more yuri-- if shows like this one do well, maybe they'll make more. And maybe they'll upgrade the animation a bit...

Coming in as an existing fan of Paradox Live: you have GOT to. And I mean YOU HAVE GOT TO stick around for this show. The characters are all exceptionally written and the story is a true sci-fi cyberpunk drama that celebrates rap and hip hop in all forms. I am SO happy with how the first two episodes have come out so far (I even got to see the world premiere of the second episode!) and I'm extremely excited for new fans coming into the series who get to experience it for the first time. Already there are SO many foreshadowing bits and creative directing choices that are fantastic spots for people like me and will be fun to realize as the plot unravels. If you enjoy the music definitely go check out the rest of the songs that are from it - a ton aren't going to make it into the show and there's a ton of really good ones that you'll be missing out on. I personally recommend Ambitious by BAE!

Space Brothers moved to the slot just before Detective Conan (5:30 PM Saturdays on NTV) in spring 2013 and stayed there till it ended a year later. That slot’s featured anime ever since, changing shows every two cours - among a number of one-offs like Love All Play last year and Ultimate Otaku Teacher back in 2015, it’s also the home of Yashahime, Mix: Meisei Story, the Ace Attorney anime, and every season of My Hero Academia from the second on. (Given MHA’s usual schedule, it’ll probably return in the spring when Daigo finishes.)

It didnt dwell in parts I wanted as long as I thought it would, cuz I wanted that shield hero princess moment then drop the series, but what did happen was more mature and then the unexpected Spanish inquisition happened and it got a pay off. The scale was much larger then I thought it was going to be. Reminds me alot of SSS class Unalive Hunter but more psuedo high fantasy and less edgy not including crow mask.
