The Ubiquitous What Are You Watching Thread?

Monday I watched the raw of ep. 1 of Eureka Seven: Renton's life is turned upside down with the arrival of Eureka in the Nirvash.

Tuesday S 2 ep. 2 of Cat's Eye: The sisters find themselves involved in a heist that features the Yakuza and heroin.

Wed. watched S 9 ep 10 the season finale of RWBY: While the rest of Team RWBY and Jaune are battling the Curious Cat Ruby has to decide on what she'll be...

Comment: Interesting end(?) to Nepo's story arch when she decides to enter the tree. Also Torchwick's
appearance to Nepo and their embrace and his reminding her that he isn't the real Torchwick shows how
deeply she felt for him.
And now Nepo is my second favorite ex- villainness after Emeraud.

Wed. S 1 ep 23 of Little Busters: The rest of the group worry about Kud far away in her home country.

Fri. S 1 ep. 5 of Haruka, Shiina is officially introduced.

Comment: Cramping up like Shiina does during the relay is too common when someone either trains too hard or doesn't properly prepare.

Sat. ep. 18 of Tenjho Tenge, Aya spends the day with Takyaka.

Sun. ep. 13 of NieA___7, the finale and now on to Flip Flappers

Solo Leveling (S1?)
perhaps the one to watch anime for most people right now. That said it has (plenty! of) gore (just blood and limbs though) so be advised.
It's based on the manwha of the same name. The manwha has been complete and moved on to another one that's likewise good or better with a quirk.
It's about a young adolescent in a world visited by dungeon gates. He's at the bottom of the bottom awakeners and happens to awaken a 2nd time at the doorstep of death. Using his new forced cultivation system he becomes a hero etc.
I did read the manwha many years ago but never finished or kept track so I don't know much beyond the island and the ants. Btw. this ant-arc reminds me of an old manga from way back... don't remember the name now. It came out around or after Black Cat and the Go manga. I happen to know my nieces liked it. *shrugs*


Wedding Rings=Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari
I could swear this one has been around for ages but... shrugs.
Welp, the usual isekai romance type.


Ao no Exorcist S3?
it's becoming long running so meh

Mato Seihei no Slave
you read it right slaves and sado maso/lewd stuff. Not my really cup but it's eye candy. It's unlikely I'll watch beyond sampling.

There are a number of other interesting ones but I doubt I'm really going to watch any of them.
7th Time Loop
Akuyaku Reijou Level 99
Ragna Crimson
etc.

Just now I received the news that he has passed away.

Who died? Sorry your post didn't make it clear.

Monday S1 Ep 1 of Ikki-tousen: Hakufu's first day at school and her first fight.

Comments: 1) Hakufu is the Princess of idiots, I would've said Queen but that titles taken by Excel Excel, which led me to decide to re-watch what I have of Excel Sage when I finish Gundam OO83...from the sublime to the ridiculous...I know....

2) This episode shows our beloved Ryomou before she becomes Hakufu's ally and best gal pal,
sadistically rutheless and cruel. That lost to Hakufu really made her think long and hard!
3) I still wanna see a battle between Hakufu and Aya from Tenjho Tenge..that be fun!!!!

Tuesday S 2 ep 39 of Cat's Eye: A kidnapper blackmails the sisters into re-stealing art work
they had stolen before.

Wed. the compilation movie of Gundam OO83 subbed.

Comments: 1) From the start I knew this was going to be one of my favorite Gundam.
2) Kou is different from other Gundam heroes in that a) he's not a teenager but in his twenties and b) unlike for example Amuro and Kira he's not a civilian but actually in the military.
3) The one fault I saw was the same in any compilation movie: in order to get it down to a two hour movie a lot of important scenes from the OVA had to be discounted and so there are time skips and plot holes. Otherwise I rather enjoyed it...except it doesn't show what happened to Nina in the end, but then see what I said about time skips and plot holes.
Next week I start the OVA.

Th. S 1 Ep 24 of Little Busters: Rin volunteers to give a puppet show.

Comment: Wish I had the first part of S1 as that would give more of a context to what's going on.OTOH there seems to be a lot of foreshadowing of S2 the Refrain season where Riki and Rin learn what's really behind the secret of the world and why they've been getting all those messages.

Friday S 1 Ep 6 of Haruka: The big day of the Con comes.

Saturday Ep 19 of Tenjho Tenge: The Juuken Club's beginnings.

Wed. ep. 1 of Mobil Suit Gundam OO83: Kou goes after Gato when the latter steals Gundam O2.

Th. S 1 ep. 25 of Little Busters: Kengo officially joins the team before their first game.

Comment: I need to look up the synopsis of the first ep. to see whether or not this whole season is taking place in Rin and Riki's heads after the bus crash.

Friday S 1 ep. of Haruka: Haruka and Mika's parents are introduced as their father goes to Defcon 4 after learning of his elder daughter's favorite hobby.

Sorry, my mind wasn't clear at the time. I intended to have it posted it in Random Thought but somehow I just didn't realize.
It was about the other cousin who already had cancer and fell into coma.


7th Time Loop
I was wrong to ditch it early. The reason being: 1. I mistook the title for another since there's tons with similar titles and stories. 2. quick checking the manga happens to hit on one that was extraordinary similar so I ignored the little dissimilar things. 3. since I've seen some anime with different titles from their source I assumed this was the same case leading to mistaking them even more
Anyhow, so it's about a heroine who's been stuck in a bad-end-death-loop. She's resident of this world rather than your typical transmigrator/reincarnator and the like.
By attempting new and different lives she discovers a new world of possibilities (for women). Now stuck in her (last?) life she faces a life (married) with her "worse" enemy. I'm sure you'll like this show.

Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu Season2
I wanted to watch it but missed the timing. Season mixes "recap" perspectives of events from Season1 for the other parties. So there's little progress so far for the main character. It's not bad but pacing is practically halved. I think we do get to see a bit more than the manga about the others.

That's ok...you and your family must've been in a lot of stress.

Monday watched the raw of S 1 ep 5 of Big O.

Tuesday S 2 ep 42 of Cat's Eye: Toshi becomes an unwelcomed house guest for the Kisugi sisters when he's kicked out of his apartment; then the thief who robbed him hits Cat's Eye.

Comment: Aside from the sisters trying hard to protect their extracurricular night time activities from
Toshi, the episode had the general male moving in with a group of females comedy. And it doesn't end here though as Toshi announces he's staying with the sisters indefinitely!!!!!

I've decided for my birthday if GUP: Das Finale part 4 isn't available then I'll order War On Geminar again since, I think the complete series is now available and finish that finally.

Wed. ep. 3 sub of Gundam OO83: Stardust Memory: The aftermath of the battle with Gato finds three new pilots arriving, but when one of them challenges Kou to a battle they both wind up in the brig.

Th. S 2 ep. 1 of Little Busters: After the Little Busters Pancake Feast Kud and Komari are targeted by Yuiko's rival and then she really goes berserk to defend her friends.

Comment: Even Yuiko is surprised at how emotional and angry she got!!!

Friday S. 1 ep. 9 of Haruka: Yukari's class prepare their cos-play cafe for the culture festival but later on Haruka finds Yuuto and Shiina in a compromising position.

Comment: When Yuuto and Haruka are discussing the cos-play cafe, the girl in the far right background in Haruka's daydream is dressed up as Boogiepop.

Monday re-watched the sub of S 1 Ep 5 of Those Who Hunt Elves: The T-74 tank gets possessed by a cat spirit that Ritsuko names "Mihke".

Comment: Airi ponders the question of why a world without the combustion engine has fruit that produces gasoline showing that at this point she is coming to the conclusion she expresses during the groups trial in the season finale that their worlds have been in the process of merging with catastrophic results for both.

Tuesday S 2 Ep 43 of Cat's Eye: With Toshi's indefinite stay putting a crimp into the sisters' extracurriclar nightly activities as Cat's Eye Rui comes up with "Operation Sexy" in order to make him uncomfortable about living with three women.

Comment: The fight between Rui and Hitomi was more than just a tad bit realistic as it may have helped clear the air of some jealousy between the two.

Wed. ep. 4 of Mobile suit Gundam OO83: The search for Gato and Gundam OO2 leads to Africa but unfortunately Gato manages to escape just as the Albion locates Neo-Zeon's secret base.

Th. ep. 2 of Little Busters, Refrain: It's a case of de ja vu as Riki feels like he's lived the same day over before.

Friday S 1 ep. 10 of Haruka: Yuuto tries all through the culture festival to apologize to Haruka.

Comment: The look on Mika and Nanami's faces when they learn that Hazuki's lost love Eric was actually her teddy bear is priceless!

Comment: So far the only people who really seem to know what's going on are Yuiko and Kyosuke.

Sousou no Frieren ep25
For reason  haven'T watched it all among others closely lately.
Ignoring the boring episode's story progression...
Anyhow, we get to see more about Serie (german?) from Frieren's memory. We get to see Flamme from Serie's past memories. It's clear she is older than just ancient. She's supposedly from the Mythical Era but looks like this has been messed up by the author. She's clearly far older. Note the Goddess image in the temple resembling her (from previous episodes) When Frieren gave her Flamme's dying message to Serie and declaring she has achieved her life's work (introducing magic to humankind) and requesting Serie to continue her work....
Serie was predictably upset yet proud of her disciple. She never thought this achievement would ever be possible.
She recon the age of man has come. Serie warns Frieren that one day she will be killed by either the Demon Kng or a human mage. Frieren happily replies: "I'm looking forward to it, Serie."
Back to the story, we see Frieren's perfect duplicate getting killed by Fern in one shot.
relations ship reminder: from master to disciple
Serie -> Flamme -> Frieren -> Fern
at least 1000+ years
(I just love the series )


Akuyaku Reijou Level 99
Did I mention this already?
Anyhow, "black" female antagonist show. The female type of dense hero male series who comes to weird conclusions etc. That type of show. Not as good(or sometimes cheesy) as the other villainess show but more accessible.

Friday S 1 ep. 11 of Haruka: Pt. 1 of the season finale finds Yuuto plus his sister and teacher all invited to Haruka's birthday party on an island her father rented for the occasion.

Saturday ep. 24 of Tenjho Tenge: The finale, and now on to the two pt. OVA.

Comment: I wonder which came first Tenjho Tenge or Ikki-tousen?

Sunday ep. 6 of Flip Flappers: Cocona and Papika uncover the secrets behind their sempai
Iroha.
