Anime League Anime League - Fall 2021

[Jammin]

Ousama Ranking - Going to be quite the plot twist when this turns out to be a Zorro series.
Mushoku Tensei - Roxy really had some poor luck when it came to her apprentices moral fiber.

Going to have to think a bit on my third for this week. It wasn't a strong week.

 

[Wowzers]

I have a lot to watch tonight! Maybe I’ll order pizza when I get home.

 

[Gajeel]

Agree with Jammin, this week wasn't a strong one. Perhaps, Arcane's quality is to blame here in my case.

[Jammin]

I'm going to give my third vote to Saihate no Paladin

I don't feel great about it because overall I was quite bored. But there was a bit nice moment with a child ghost that was pretty good. And this week, that's enough to get a vote... apparently.

[Erinyes]

Ousama Ranking : Why... even the king was using Boji, all the time I really start feeling bad for Daida. Bebin ended up being a remarkable character (at least for now, maybe another twist or betrayal will make me hate him ) those funny moments were cute, and Despa was great too, happy to see that Boji PU
about the anim/manga here an interesting com from Canmom (tumbr) which fits pretty well my thoughts

"i’d never heard of the manga before this current anime season but damn, this ousama ranking adaptation is great. gorgeous and charming character animation, love the painted bgs, lots of unexpectedly creative turns and images and moments of flashy background animation and stuff that it almost feels like a revival of early kanada, despite definitely being a modern show with action shaped by imai’s work on attack on titan - but also it’s really cool to see slightly older school techniques like a painted background embedding a pan instead of doing all the camera moves with cgi.
the story is, fitting the fairytale vibe, often very directly to the intended emotional point, which reminds me of like... certain parts of yoko taro writing, or made in abyss; it’s quite an interesting vibe bc it’s like, not trying to hide its artifice. curious to see where it goes from here. kvin naturally has a much better informed writeup here crediting all the creators who made this work. really happy to see an anime come together so well"

Will add pics of the episode later.

Senpai ga usai Kouhai no Hanashi : Another sweet episode that Kazama telling the bullies "she's mine!" was priceless. Takeda is always so sweet, whenever he feels Futaba is depressed or scared or anything he runs straitght to her help, if thats not love, what is it ?
Pics coming later

Mieruko chan - that teacher is so creepy, Hana appetite is something

 

[Arjuna]

Only

Mieruko-Chan

 

[Gajeel]

Ousama Ranking
Bojji mustn't cook! Best episode this week, and by far,
Mieruko-chan
First half had eerie moments, and second half had a smiling Miko, so overall decent episode,
Mushoku Tensei
Nooo, no more Aisha . At least, Pax got what he deserved.

Honourable mentions
Platinum End
If only Mirai's personality was different, this show would have been a hit.
Shaman King
Takt.op

86 giving us another .5 ):

 

[Hermit]

Takt Op. Destiny- Best episode of the week. Hell vs Destiny was awesome, and it was epic seeing Hell's master (I forget that bastard's name) getting his uppance for his actions. Titan also returned!
Shiroi Suna no Aquatope- Watching turtles hatch has never been more calming This show really went up in quality ever since Gama Gama shut down.
Taisho Otome- Pink hair!!!!!

Honorable mentions:
Sekai Saikoku no Ansusha- Last time we'll see Maha for a while

 

[Jammin]

Ousama Ranking I love a food poisoning scene. Always have. Always will.
Mushoku Tensei Is Lilya... trying to make her daughter a bro-con? I feel like she is.

Hard to pick a third again this week. This season needs to improve, I'm getting closer and closer to turning on Yasahime. So for lack of a better option I'm going for Isekai Shokudou.

 

[Wowzers]

This week's picks!

Ousama Ranking - What is Bojji's weapon!?
Mieruko-chan - She got to scream today!
Mushoku Tensei - I loved this episode!
