[Eternal Dragon Of ChaOZ]

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight

Spoiler

I liked how everyone got a few scenes.

Nice to see Karen & Hikari spend some quality time together.

Really liked the build up to this 2 VS 2 audition, they made it feel special.

Really nice moment between Claudine & Maya after they lost, really cool that Maya could speak French.

Wow that ended quickly, I had a feeling there would be another audition afterwards because there can only be one top star but I thought we would get another battle next time.

Either way looks like Hikari is the top star.

Island

Spoiler

Back to the very beginning just I thought, except this time Setsuna has all his memories.

Original opening and ending back as well.

Setsuna was able to make short work of everything since he already knew what to do, I'm glad there doesn't seem to be any side effects so far of changing things as quickly as he did and the girls all cooperated with him.

Kinda disappointing seeing the festival end so quickly because of the storm, I was enjoying that.

Oh wow things just a bit crazy, so looks like Kuon is actually Rinne from the future and the current Rinne is the child of her and Setsuna, please don't fall in love her if that's the case.

Question is what is Kuon planing to do, she is working on the time capsule, really looking forward to next episode to see what happens.

Hataraku Saibou

Spoiler

I definitely feel for all the cells, it's always hot here in Australia so I'm feeling like that most of the time even without having a fever.

It was kinda funny seeing that germ having fun at everyone else's expense and causing all that mischief, he was evading and mocking everyone.

That person got a needle/injection, that definitely saved everyone.

There's big brother white blood cell, yes but maybe we shouldn't go near him right now LOL! He definitely made sure that germ got what he deserved.

Honorable Mentions
Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyrie

Spoiler

It's amazing how much of an effect Yuuto had on his troops just by coming to the front lines, things are really looking up for them.

Way to go Rune, she fought so hard and never gave up, great job, thanks goodness Scar is also alive.

Well done Yuuto, you managed to defeat that traitorous brother.

Wow, the witch sent Yuuto all the way to his own world, good thing he gave his phone to Felicia so they can still communicate and figure out what to do next.

Satsuriku no Tenshi

Spoiler

So this knife was used to save instead of killing, and now she thinks Zack is her god lol.

Alright the medicine and stitching worked out great, Zack is all ready to go again.

That was a really horrible past Zack had, almost completely burnt alive and then sold off to these to he people he eventually killed.

So looks like they are on a floor with Rachels past, so does this after all this time Rachel has a floor herself?

Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu

Spoiler

And there we have it, Alicia finally shows her true colours to everyone.

Torturing people to death to bring them salvation and closer to god, that guy is a sick freak.

You idiot Rem, you should have just let Klem save you, all she had to do was break a simnple cage and cause a slight ruckus in town and Diablo would have been able to do that rest.

Now you're probably dead and the true demon lord resurrected, though I must admit I have no problem with Klem wiping out Saddler and the other paladins.

Demon lord VS demon lord battle coming, it will be pretty exciting to watch, lots of action and explosions.

Overlord III

Spoiler

It was an ok episode for one that had no action in it, no surprise with the amount of politics involved regarding the war.

Oh boy, that is a ridiculous amount of death knights Ainz has gathered, all I can see at this point is a complete victory for Ainz.

 

[Kiki]

Hataraku Saibou
last episode was a chaos

 

[Nii]

Hero Academia (wow that was intense. Never was much of a Bakugo fan but the anime makes him more likeable in my eyes, and that voice acting was superb)
Planet With (great showdown and a timeskip too!)
Overlord III

 

[Arjuna]

SNK
Grand Blue
Banana Fish

 

[Jammin]

I'll vote for.

Planet With (This show seems like it's going to end pretty strong.)
Asobi Asobasi (Hysterically funny.)
Overlord (You know your really enjoying something when you watch a half hour of anime and it feels like only 10 minutes have passed)

Other stuff that was in the running.

Gintama (I love that the Final Fantasying joke is still going strong.)
Isekai Mahou (Good episode but it was mostly buildup for next week.)
Boku no Hero (Really well done episode but still couldn't really get into this part of the source material. The whole Bakugo drama thing is just not good, IMO. So that holds it back.)
Hataraku Saibou (Unique and fun just like the rest of the show but I feel like the novelty of the concept is starting to wear off for me for whatever reason.)

surprise steins;gate 0 and p5a are so unloved. Remember steins'gate used to be up there with Fate as the premiere VN anime.

 

[Arjuna]

surprise steins;gate 0 and p5a are so unloved. Remember steins'gate used to be up there with Fate as the premiere VN anime.

It is still there at least in the international anime community,but sadly it is unloved in this forum

And SNK would have topped the list too

Anyway my nominations

SNK
Overlord
Grand Blue

 

[Eternal Dragon Of ChaOZ]

Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu

Spoiler

Ah look it's Emile, there to protect the women as per usual.

Apocalypse Abyss, all I can sow is wow! what an incredible spell we got to witness, it certainly did the job.

Nice thinking there making Klem a servant so she can live with them all.

They forgave Alicia, whatever works for them I guess.

Haha women, the greatest battle of Diablo's life that he may never win.

I thought this was a pretty good anime, seeing Diablo in action squash enemies who deserved it was always fun and the comedy, mostly with the girls was good throughout.

8/10

Island

Spoiler

No surprise Setsuna was able to figure out what was going on from that photo.

I think the other Setsuna was the small child the father of the mansion was carrying, he mentioned his name.

Rinne, I am your father!

Frozen in time, not time travelling, history repeating itself, that island really is a mysterious one.

Setsuna & Rinne back together after all this time, nice weeding they had and really nice looking cruise they are going on.

This was a good series, very confusing at times but it all made sense at the end and I enjoy it all the way through.

7/10

Hataraku Saibou

Spoiler

Our red blood cell as a senpai to another that knows the ropes already, I can see where this is going.

That was really funny watching them trying to talk to White blood cell while he was trying to kill that germ, he is a nice guy honestly.

Thank goodness the rookie knows which way to go, they could have gotten very lost.

That is definitely one of the worst kinds of injuries someone can have, no surprise there was a huge explosion and the entire place is in ruins.

Honorable Mentions

Overlord III

Spoiler

Wow! Enri just summoned 5000 of the baddest goblin soldiers you could ever wish for.

That army had no choice but to retreat, Lupisregina did the rest later.

Only question is what do they do now, it's a bit hard to feed that many.

Enri also must have been able to summon those troops because her level must be pretty high, we know she is very strong anyway from the arm wrestling and the knife she destroyed earlier in the series.

Happy Sugar Life

Spoiler

Satou has made her move, looks like next time we will be going back to the beginning of the first episode with the fire and all.


Mitsuboshi is uh well, definitely entered the wrong place at the wrong time.

Jashin-chan Dropkick

Spoiler

It was an ok episode to finish with, I had a fever not that long ago so I definitely know how Yurine felt for most of this episode.

As for the series, it was fine, it definitely got better as the show went on but I thought the comedy was hit or miss at times, it was a bit too silly.

6/10

Satsuriku no Tenshi

Spoiler

I was wondering where Danny went to, that creepy bastard was doing his usual thing, lying in wait for his opportunity to be with Rachel and torment her.

Ah it's the priest again, saved Zack's life, this floor has so many booby traps, it's very dangerous.

This is definitely Rachel's floor, we are going to learn a lot more baout her, that music box played a nice tune.

They left us off with a real cliffhanger, my guess by Zack's reaction is that Rachel killed her parents.

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight

Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria

 

[Jammin]

I'll vote for ..

Asobi Asobase (It was only an alright episode. And then somebody got murdered. Twice.)
Overlord (All glory to the Dread Lord Enri! And death to her foes!)
Isekai Maou (Good ending for a good show. A surprising example of a harem isekai done right.)

Boku no Hero Academia
Overlord (Enri Shogun-sama )
Gintama (grown-up Kagura : D)
