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

This and Superman are probably the first time in ages that I am thinking of actually seeing a film in the theatres instead of waiting for a streaming service to pick them up. Both films just feel really good to me

First Episode of Anne Sherley did a nice job of capturing the characters. The style of it looks very traditional but I am curious to see how people who don't know the story react to it.

Finally got a chance to see this and I loved it. Great characters all around. GI Robot and the Bride being my top two.

Very high on the Blood and Guts

clued in pretty quick when GI Robot got taken to that little meeting. Can't really blame him though now can you
Cheers to the Tin Man

I'll be honest after how season 2 ended I don't really feel any pressing need to start on season 3. Show is pretty much on my pile of "If I have nothing better to do"

"Red Ranger in another world" just added a new bit of fun.
Following up on rumours of Elves with a mysterious magic our heroes are confronted by....an Egyptian Themed Kamen Rider. a power inherited from a previous visitor from another world.

Might be hard to find but

Crest of the Stars is a good older style Space Opera
and if you want some good fantasy Guin Saga and Moribito: Guardian of the spirit are two of my favourites.

oh and if you have an urge for a bit of life lessons comedy with a side of yakuza, try The Gokusen

also give you 50/50 odds on enjoying Outlaw Star

maybe Ergo Proxie or Psychopass

oh my goodness. I just stumbled across the Live Action movie of the Guycer on Amazon Prime.

Have to admit, initial look at Fantastic Four is good.

Finally, Season 4 of Thunderbolt Fantasy finally shows up on Crunchyroll.
never been so excited for a puppet show

"From bureaucrat to villainess: Dad's been reincarnated."

I enjoyed this so much.
I'm 50+ myself and I relate to so many of Kozaburou's inner monologue. The bit about switching to short and long distance without having to change glasses hit me hard

ok so Zenshu is my surprise this season.
Another Isekai, the twist this time is that the Main character is an Animation Director reborn in the movie that influenced her as a kid.
Special power; she can storyboard a new scene to change the outcome of events.
Fantastic animation sequence when she summons her Cubicle to get to work.

Surprisingly good first episode, It's worth checking it

Season 2 Teaser Trailer for this of all things

Everything old is new again

"Hey want to see something cool" is the right approach to a trailer. Don't spoil the whole plot for us just show us enough to know you're trying to get it right.

Some very cool moments in that and more than enough to get me excited for the movie.
