He certainly whines less as the show goes on, but his tantrums remain.
If you’re digging AoT, y’all might enjoy Vinland Saga. Hits some of the same vibes, except with fewer large naked giants.
Don’t forget we moved!

This season, My Hero Academia, Trigun Stampede and Vinland Saga Season 2 absolutely blew me away, albeit for different reasons.
My Hero Academia is known for having strong early seasons and then lagging hard with its pacing in subsequent seasons. When it’s good, it’s good. When it’s dragging, it sure does drag. But this season has been absolutely full-tilt with great pacing, some fun fights, and actual character development. (And a bunny and a sniper absolutely wrecking.)
Studio Orange is once again showing what fully 3D anime is capable of, with Trigun Stampede, and the deviations from the story that initially bothered me have turned into something I can’t wait to see every week.
Vinland Saga’s second season sees the gritty viking revenge story turned entirely on its head, and features some of the best character growth I’ve seen in a long time - and it does so near-bloodlessly, compared to the wartorn first season.
Much enjoyment, all around.

Spring Preview!
https://anichart.net/Spring-2023
Lots of promising sequels:
- Demon Slayer’s back.
- Dr. Stone’s back.
- Gundam: Witch From Mercury’s back.
- Ranking of Kings is back.
- Konosuba is back with a prequel.
- Tonikwawa: Over the Moon For You is back.
- Birdie Wing is back (I will fight you.)
- The Ancient Magus’ Bride is back.
Another World With My Smartphone is ba–hhahahahawhy.
And there’s some promising new contenders.
- Hell’s Paradise is looking pretty cool.
- Oshi no Ko looks pretty disturbing. Getting Perfect Blue vibes from the trailers.
- Insomniacs After School looks like a nice, quiet, moody romance with night-time vibes and I’m here for it.
- Skip and Loafer looks like a wholesome good time from PA Works, even if it’s treading over familiar romcom tropes.
Year 2000 me would have never dreamed there’d be such a consistent glut of good shows every season, and yet here we are. I can’t keep up with all anymore, and that’s a wonderful problem to have.

I’m having conflicting emotions about Trigun Stampede. The original has a very special place in my heart and while I haven’t watched the new yet, mostly because i don’t want to hold it to the nostalgia of the original.
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

- Gundam: Witch From Mercury’s back.
Holy fuck the end of that first season – half-season? whatever. – tho. Makes you look at tomatoes in a whole new way.

It’s definitely doing its own thing. Right there with you, and I was initially resentful of it for deviating. Then it kinda just became interesting in its own right, and I just let go and let it do its thing, and was far happier for it.

@Testament I own the manga and all of the anime on DVD upgraded my VHS copies, I love the old anime and the old show. But, this is it’s own thing and I can’t wait for the next ep each week!

I’ve been enjoying the dub of The Ice Guy and his Cool Female Colleague, a slice-of-life romantic comedy which is cute and inoffensive but is mostly great because it sounds like they sourced their voice actors from a list of people fired from NPR for being too low energy, then gave them a bunch of valium before shoving them into the studio.

Can we talk about how it is actively offensive it is that the first season of Spy x Family is over and I’m not getting new episodes of it because it feels very personally targeted to ruin my life
For anyone who loved Spy x Family, I’d suggest Buddy Daddies as a natural followup. The kid isn’t as stupidly cute as Anya, but the story is fun and I might like the adult characters more than Loid and Yor.

I just finished rewatching all the way through to the first part of the finale. Man, what a show. Buckle up!!

@BloodAngel People had to yell ‘HEY TEZ IT’S UTENA WITH ROBOTS’ at me a few times before I finally gave in, but.
IT’S UTENA WITH ROBOTS.
And trauma.
Every time there’s an utena reference in anything, ever, it just gets me RIGHT IN THE HEART.

@Tez Utena is in my top five animes of all time. I showed my little one, and she loved it! Yes it is very much that! I’m on ep five of…season 1.
-
Yes. They’re adorable.
Omagerd, she is adorable.
But Chuatury “Chuchu” Panlunch (aka Punchy McPuncherson) is awesome. That right hook!
-
RIGHT! I love this character, might be my favorite so far!
-
@BloodAngel Haha! I love how the one girl is just… watching the other get knocked out.
