I loved S1 of The Devil is a Part-Timer so much I rewatched it at least half a dozen times, but I can't tolerate anymore of the shitshow that is S2 and am throwing in the towel.  I am bored out of mind trying to struggle through each episode and in the first 5 episodes COMBINED I laughed a grand total of one time.  I LITERALLY had a dentist appointment earlier this week that was more enjoyable.

On the flip side, I wasn't expecting anything from Call of the Night and that has been very enjoyable so I guess it evens out.

Call of the Night is way better than I expected. I figured it be like Dagashi Kashi, and just simple slice of life like. You know, just east going and simple.

It's great. I read ahead in the managa because I liked it so much

A dark fantasy created by two people who both enjoy writing about goblins.

Do you want to make a bet that it will, at some point, have goblins in it?

Danganronpa: The Animation was mildly entertaining.  Kinda like a more cerebral Hunger Games.  It trailed off at the end of the season, IMO, but it was still worth a watch.

Trying to figure out the proper watch order after S1 gave me a headache (especially reading S2 was apparently a video game and S2 of the anime is actually S3 or some such shit) so I'll call it quits after S1.

Unless you play all of the games too, it isn't worth it. I love the series but it doesn't really work unless you experience the whole of it from beginning to end, and that's a pretty big time sink.

Komi's really starting to develop now in the new volume.

I don’t know, but I added it to my watch list a few years ago after I saw this (probably the clip you mentioned):

Mitsuboshi Colors - "You need to explode"


The clip is cute, but it’s also pretty dark if you think about it for more than a couple of seconds.

This version is probably funnier though:

Kinda. If you watch the despair arc of Danganronpa 3, It explains how the world actually got so fucked. You can if you want, as it's a prequel to EVERYTHING, but features the whole cast of characters from Danganronpa 2. As it's a prequel I don't think you'll be lost trying to understand it anyway, but if you intend to play the games, it will spoil some of the big plot twists for the second game. Actually it will pretty much spoil the second game.

All that having been said, if you want to know the entire truth of the whole series and don't intend to ever experience the whole thing yourself (and I'm warning you for a reason):

She’s certainly cute - and has skillz, too.

I don’t know anything about the series other than what I’ve seen in the few episodes so far, and I’m wondering how and when her backstory will be revealed - but the YDMC (I just invented that - the Young, Dorky Main Character) is certainly in the running for a ‘most clueless character of any anime, ever’ award which IMHO threatens to overshadow her charms.

His cluelessness exceeds that of even the uber-clueless Lloyd Belladonna of ‘Last Dungeon Boonies’ fame, which is quite a feat in and of itself. But even though that series took a single gag and built the entire show around it, I managed to enjoy the various ways that the writers had fun with it and built a story around it.

Whereas somehow this show comes across as a bit too much like a stereotypical lowbrow TV sitcom for my tastes, as the main gag feels more than just a bit forced. If all that they do with it is milk that same gag one episode after another after another, I may just lose interest in it and punt.

RWBY: Ice Queendom does a great job of rendering absurd-world dream sequences.

The last several episodes have had plenty of good examples, but ep. 7 surpassed all of those.

I particularly enjoyed a brief visual snippet that strongly reminded me of scenes from Attack on Titan - while other scenes could perhaps trace their inspiration to the Sorcerer’s Apprentice - but there’s also plenty of material that feels unique and not derived from anything that I can place…

And while the sequence with the walls opening ahead of the train (and building the tracks just ahead of it as it traveled at high speed) could possibly have been influenced by many other works, from Kimetsu no Yaiba: Mugen Train, to Harry Potter, to Polar Express and Snowpiercer, it was still a lot of fun to watch it.

I'm surprised, Ice Queendome is a decent anime. I was a little turned off by how much story they seemed to be ignoring in the first couple of episodes. I guess they had to blow by that stuff to get to the meat of this version of the story, epic fights in dreamland.

And yeah the dream sequences are very excellent. Ep7 reminds me of how the fights in Gurren Laggen always seem to constantly get bigger energy each time.  The scene with the train going through the gates reminded me a lot of Barron Munchhousen and the world building scenes from inception.

I don’t generally enjoy vampire-themed movies or anime - and I have found most teen-vampire-themed series that I’ve viewed to be somewhat cliched and tedious and uninteresting.

However I made an exception and binge-watched all 12 episodes of Dance In the Vampire Bund, and felt that it was actually pretty good, all things considered.

The artwork is not all that great, and notwithstanding the TV-MA rating, the ecchi scenes were rather tame, but it did have at least several interesting characters, and it doled out bits and pieces of a sometimes gritty and hard-core storyline in a manner that kept me guessing.

Oh, and it did feature a cast of vampire maids who mostly had background roles that helped even out the ebb and flow of the action, in much the same way that the background singers in a Motown band complement the lead singer (and what’s not to like about vampire maids?).

I’m also not generally a fan of chibi characters giving combined episode summaries and previews at the end of each episode, but the writers clearly had fun putting those together (and I got a few unexpected laughs out of them).

Holy shit that's a name I haven't heard in forever!
Isn't that the precursor of the "I'm really 900 years old!" trope?  I don't remember if I watched the whole thing or if I liked it. It was over a decade ago at least.

Yeah, teen-loli is actually hundreds of years old.

Now where have I seen that before? Well, certainly in spades in Re: Zero, but in lots of other series as well.

I don’t know enough about the history of anime to know whether or not that was an innovation at the time…
