I'm really interested in watching more one new anime this season, Gnosia. There not much at its core, its just an adaptation of a social deduction game and that's boring in execution. However, there is something about the characters and the world building done in the first episode that is striking.

Fans of Umamusume might find enjoyment in an anime adaptation of another Cygames mobile game...which also might be one of the best fantasy anime ever? Or at least I enjoy it immensely.

For the fall season we are changing things up! Instead of doing the normal 3 brand new anime reviews we are diving head first into the world of UC Gundam. Join us each week as we go over a bunch of the compilation movies. Also, the return of Weekly Ranma!!

Otaku Network @otakunetwork.bsky.social · 8d

The only downside, while I greatly enjoy the series, you have to watch all of Haruhi before you can appreciate the movie. So you can't just spring it on casual viewers.

Otaku Network @otakunetwork.bsky.social · 8d

The film may be one of the best anime films ever??? I watch it every year and enjoy it immensely every single time.

It seems like a lot of problems would be resolved in Gundam, particularly Zeta, if the transport vessels had a way of securing the mobile suits when not authorized for launch...

I wonder how many people who have not read the manga will be put off by the change of setting in season 3 of To Your Eternity?

City the Animation cut through the fields of isekai, shonen battle and monotonous romance titles to make a unique mark on the anime landscape. Its vision in transforming the innocent source material went to produce a special series for the ages.

The Summer Hikaru Died - Season 1

Otaku Network @otakunetwork.bsky.social · 14d

After 33 years of anime fandom I finally got around to watching 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam. Let's say I appreciate the change in aesthetics of design philosophy over the decades. Jumped to 0083, my intro to Gundam and it's a breath of fresh air in comparison. Kinda working through the UC atm.

Thankfully we are getting a second season of The Summer Hikaru Died because there seems to be a lot of story that still needs to be told.
