Kaya-Chan looks neat. To outside perspective you have a little girl who sometimes lashes out violently, but the reality is she is smashing things other people can't see.

Kind of puts me in mind of Dark Gathering, another show about creepy cute little girl fighting ghosts. Was a good show but I stopped because one story arc gave me the heeby jeebies.

New Season, New shows.

First up for me Kuon the Sorcerer can see. A young noble is born with a curse inherited from the Great hero of the past who founded the kingdom. He is missing his sight. Depressed and gloomy child with no motivation until he discovers magic. Suddenly filled with a zest for life he throws himself into learning, mastering not just magic, but history, swordplay and etiquette at a rapid pace. Until he learns to use magic to replace his lost sight.

Got 2 episodes released already. Looks like it is mostly going to be fun magic school shenanigans. Kuon's blindness remains a factor though he has learned to compensate somewhat using magic. Plus some creative and amusing uses for Water Magic.

...(face palm)

Maximus is definitely working the Idiot Savant Perk.

Seen an interesting theory popping up.

Maximus' friend could be a Commonwealth Spy
They mangled their own foot to avoid becoming a Knight. As a Knight they would get sent out of the camp and into the wilderness. By staying in the camp they stay close to the people they needed to spy on.

I mean, a heads up on the basics of Vegas would be a good idea. Fill her in on the factions, tell her to avoid the Supermutants, Avoid certain critters..all critters, etc.... little bits of useful details

That is fair. Ghoul could certain stand to give her more details on the world while they walk.

Well...that was unexpected. Tojima wants to be Kamen Rider, has a crossover with Air Master. Apparently they were done by the same author.

Airmaster is kind of a lesser known street fighting series from...must be like 20 years ago. Basic plot is you have a young girl who's mother trained her to be an Olympic Gymnast. As she got older however she inherited her father's physique. IE: She got HUGE, not great for being a Gymnast.
Turns out she got something else from her father, a love of beating the crap out of people. So she took her gymnastics training and turned it into a street fighting style.
Was a fun anime, although there was one character who's voice was Nails on a chalkboard bad.

Apparently after her own series she went on to become a Cop....then got fired for crushing an entire Yakuza gang single handedly. Now she teaches martial arts to children.

Season 2 shaping up nicely so far

but she really needs to consider. If the Ghoul thinks a group is so bad you don't want to deal with them...maybe listen to him

FKing Caesar's Legion

That gruff older Captain is something of an Archetype I think. Tends to show up in a lot of places.
variations of Team Grandis show up a lot too. (hell if someone told me Jessie from Team Rocket was her daughter I would half believe it)

After something like 10 years
Saga of Tanya the Evil, Season 2 is coming.

Yeah that was some nice payoff on just about every front.

Can't wait to see where it goes next

New pair of episodes and ...I have many questions

but the biggest one is; Rosie our lovely cannibal queen.
A Sinner, even an Overlord would not have the power to grant his request. Nor would they want to as it would, by definition, mean making him more powerful than they were.

So....She is not what she appears to be.

There is one thing that hasn't been said that could become a root of fear in Heaven.

The fact that a Sinner can be redeemed means you're still being judged. The Assumption till now has been Heaven and Hell are the end points. If you made it, you are done. Final Destination

Except now there is proof in Heaven's face you aren't done and the idea that a Sinner can be redeemed and enter Heaven is one thing and certainly to be celebrated.
But the unasked question is "Can the Heavenly Fall?" and for some that question will become "Can I Fall?" They aren't going to say it out loud, but it's going to rattle around in their heads. Sir Pentious isn't just a symbol of Redemption he is the suggestion that maybe even Heaven isn't forever.

The music really is something. Great job capturing the mood of the scenes

Sanda is a weird one
In a world with ultra low birthrates children are a highly protected national treasure. But even in the first few episodes you can feel the presence of a Distopia.

So into this world a young girl with a knife approaches a young boy with one goal in mind

Unleash Santa Claus

Santa raises the red flag of rebellion as an Anarchy Superhero set to fulfill the dreams of children, against the control of the state.

"Tojima wants to be a Kamen Rider"

So this started off as; Adults who still want to be Superheroes in the regular world

And then it took a weird turn when they discovered the Supervillain organization is actually real, complete with Monsters.

There was also a Spelljammer comic as I recall. I remember when the shift to 3rd edition happened it was reflected in the comics too. They had a scene where the Party Wizard was muttering about how Magic Missile was less effective now and other changes to magic with the shift from Mystra to Midnight

Kinda meh on the last episode. Wouldn't be bad if there werent years between seasons but for right now.. meh.

I was kind of expecting an epilogue episode that set stuff up for later and I got that. On that front I'm satisfied but the main problem I had with it was they clearly padded it out with basically cheap music videos.

I liked season 1 better but overall I think season 2 was solid.

and it took me a full day to clue into the "Salvation Run" link.

Checkmate

also WTF was that ending?

Honestly not nearly as fun as Absolute DC or even Ultimate Marvel. ESPECIALLY with the new Absolute "Justice" League.

I think Brainiac is about to make a Significant Mistake

OK so first one to really catch my attention this season is "May I ask one final Thing".

Start up looks very familiar
A young noble lady engaged to the 2nd prince of the kingdom, finds herself dumped for a new girl in front of the his court of sneering supporters. She takes his false accusations of her misdeeds with grace.

and then she beats the ever living tar out of everyone present starting with his smirking new fiancee and ending with him.

Gotta love a girl who can throw hands with style and grace.

welp, that confirms that

Just finished last night.

Overall I enjoyed it.

Thing is, if they do a season 2,

Getting a chance to watch this now. Grabbed a Free Week of City TV and this is available there.
Just finished episode 5.

Show isn't bad got some interesting new ideas and I am all in favour of having some new critters

The idea of the Ticks makes me squirm but the Eyeball probably scares me the most. That thing is horrifying and it is clearly smart. Plus there is the Zombie factor as we have clearly seen it doesn't matter if the body is alive or dead when it takes over.

Still two critters to reveal for me though.

Galaxy is a terrible place full of horrible things. This reinforces that quite nicely.

As another example; The new animated Superman has Jor-el describe Krypton's military expansion across the galaxy until they ran into a foe they couldn't defeat. The version of Brainiac there is a Military AI who refused to be decommissioned.

So reworking the Background is nothing new.

but personally I like to imagine it's something Lex did and he's still privately gloating about it. Just this extra bit of pettiness that he counts as a win.

I get that they insist the message is real, multiple times from multiple people during the film but...

It's Lex Luthor.
If anyone could Deep Fake an Alien Transmission it's him. If the guy saw a way to make Superman just a little more miserable, he would take it, just to undermine one of Superman's core beliefs about himself.

Welp, I have a reason to pick up Disney+ again

My first childhood Anime Crush is back

New Cat's Eye series

Peacemaker origin story

Is it just me or are there a lot of Record stores in the alternate universe?

...oh wow
I saw that Peace-cycle and the first thing that popped into my head is a movie called Megaforce.

I wonder if they are setting Harcourt up to become Peacewreaker

Still trying to process calling up your buddy to help dismember your own corpse so it will fit in the extra-dimensional cat incinerator.

and to have Vigilante be ridiculously happy about doing so.

and again Eagly...hardcore.
and the strut back inside when he was done with those guys.

lol
They literally just Retconned it and walked away, nuff said.

and the whole Other Peacemaker thing turned out even sadder than I had imagined

I think it's probably just Fan-shipping (unless something happens after the Camp episode that I'm not aware of)

In the first season she had more chemistry with Enid than either of the two male leads and people picked up on it.
Personally though I don't think Wednesday is a character who has tolerance for romance of any sort. But Enid is hers so she is miffed at the idea of someone killing her.

just started season 2 and we do seem to have dropped the "Generic Angsty Hot Boys" from season 1
Buscemi makes for a fun antagonist for her. He seems harmless but you can see the "Outcast Supremacist" peeking out.

Plus looks like we are going to do some interesting things with Puggsly.

DandaDan the Hayasii performance went above and beyond. great song and then I discover who they got to perform the english version.

I hope they make both versions available as Singles.

after 15 years a 2nd season of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

Show is high speed chaos and WTF....

still trying to process the Fast and the Furious parody

Feel like I've out grown this show (15 years is a long time) but I think the younger fans will have a blast with it.

.... and then they did the Jack Kirby style episode. Oh my that was great to watch.

Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra had a nice example of the two kinds of Paladin

When confronted by a mystery person who is setting off Detect Evil like crazy.

Paladin A) We are being given a chance to walk away and not all die. We will take it, go home, tell our superiors and get a ton of reinforcements before we come back.

Paladin B) "We are on a Holy Mission, and you will not stand in our way foul fiend"

Paladin A) "STFU Dude!"

That bad?

It was very good. But yes, also that bad.

Demon had Specialization in Improvised Weapons

Nyaight of the Living Cat: Take all the tropes of a Zombie movie...but it's Cats. Also seems to include various Cat facts.

New season off to a good start. Plenty of returning favourites along with some new surprise
The Stunned Hero and the Assassin Princesses - Our hero. neigh invulnerable and can kill a dragon with a single punch. Needless to say plenty of folks want him dead. His sole weakness - painful social awkwardness. So bad that he hasn't even been able to join a party. Enter the three ladies out to murder him (well...two trying to kill him, one ...has other plans to ruin him) Each pretending to be adventurers looking for a new party. The Apprentice Sorceress out to learn about he world (IE: Daughter of the demon lord and mistress of black magic), the Holy Priest out to help those in need (IE: Foul Mouthed assassin for hire who can magically summon any weapon) and the Joyful Dancer travelling the world for fun and adventure (IE: Poison and Drug wielding dominatrix looking to add to her collection of pets).
With these trusted companions at his side our shy boy hero is ready for his quest to defeat the Demon Lord.

First episode was a lot of fun. So far the Priest/Assassin is probably my favourite. She's like if Revy from Black Lagoon got Isekaied.

Feels like an adolescent trying to prove himself. Young, reckless, not as experienced.

(sidenote: Killer of Killers was interesting)

For fans of Bakarina, the "My Next Life as a Villainess, All routes lead to doom" movie just dropped on Crunchyroll.

Catarina finds herself caught up in the plot of a different story and must save someone else from Doom flags.

Well, the trailer towards the end has Peacemaker meet himself, so maybe he goes to a different Earth? That could explain how he (and possibly some of his friends) get to the Gunnverse. Or, it could be that the Argus adjacent characters are basically about the same in both universes.

Good point. Although I dread the thought of more multiverse stuff.

hmmm....if you went through a Multiverse Door and found a version of yourself that is doing much better than you. How would you handle that?

How would Peacemaker handle that?

Maybe he kills and takes the place of his Gunnverse double.

Sm-33
Smee
the droid is Mr. Smee

lol

yeah I love this

Our cycle of streaming service has brought us back to Disney+ and finally getting a chance to check this out.

1 episode in

First Impression
It's a "Kids on Bikes" show
I love that

Planet seems a bit weird
Great Work? Kids getting aimed at the bureaucracy by 10?
Something feels off?

Space Pirates

Oh this is going to be fun

Couple of Konosuba OVA episodes just dropped on Crunchyroll. Couple of fun little side stories

Looks like 3D Printing on on the cusp of the next stage. Came across a Kickstarter that claims to be able to incorporate Electronics into the Print.

If that tech works out that will be a pretty significant game changer.

Really wish I could get myself one of the Resin Printers but with 4 Cats I need a safe room for it and I do not have one at the moment
