2023 Fall Blurbs
Dead Mount Death Play P2
- You know it, you love (?) it
- Second verse, same as the first
- The shot at 53 seconds into the trailer with Zaki framed against the moon got me acting unwise
I’m in Love with the Villainess
- Explicitly queer story written by a queer author
- You get to hear me refer to the three male characters as Sora, Riku, and Roxas
- Production value is a little scuffed but still very watchable (the trailer fsr features some of the worst shots)
Migi & Dali
- You want antics? Here’s antics
- Seriously this shit is a GIF factory
- Style over substance, but tbh that’s probably not a bad thing for anime night
SHY
Trailer link (song is a banger tbh)
- Anxiety-chan has to fight monsters and make friends
- Actually she has to hug the monsters but I digress
- Somewhat unevenly paced and a little strange at points
16bit Sensation
Trailer link (sorry no subs rip)
- Extremely polished time travel comedy about an artist who likes drawing cute girls
- Konoha is at 120% energy always and I love her and I want her to be happy
- Probably helps if you’re a computer nerd but I don’t think it’s required
Undead Unluck
- Gorgeous action show by the studio that makes Jojo
- Have you ever wanted to watch a naked man fly around by shooting blood out of his body? I bet you do now!
- Naked man is unfortunately sort of a sex pest
Stardust Telepath
- Girls!
- Aliens!
- Will give you diabetes
Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions
Trailer link (German subs sorry)
- Pretty fun detective show
- First two episodes are kinda slow but I’ve warmed to it considerably since
- Might require more attention than can be reasonably expected in a rowdy group watch
Apothecary Diaries
- Absolutely gorgeous… palace drama? I think this is a genre but idk
- I would die for Maomao
- It’s 24 fucking episodes long tho
- I’m gonna break the format to say the opening also kicks ass
Tearmoon Empire
- Anime fantasy French revolution, complete with chibi guillotines
- Protagonist-chan occasionally makes Bocchi faces
- Somehow she keeps failing up which should go against the theme of the show but it never stops being funny
