Anime League Anime League - Spring 2021

[Demonspeed]

You confused me with these Megalo Box nominations. Sunday shows from the same week are accepted now so I thought the 3rd episode was out .

 

[SharkBait]

Burning Kabaddi Episode 3
Bakuten Episode 2
Cardfight!! Vanguard Overdress

 

[Erinyes]

I ve watched only 3 shows this week (2 actually, since Ive watched Edens zero before), i wont have time to watch anything else before deadline. Picking those 3.

1- Fumetsu no Anata e - That was amazing, loved everything about it. The narrator voice, im sure ive heard it somewhere , but cant nail it. Ost, visuals, and animation were top notch, easy my fave this week.

2- Edens zero - so far adaptation is good. But i might end up putting this on hold and catching later.

3-Hige wo Soru. Soshite Joshikousei wo Hirou - I did prefer this episode over the 1st, a solid and more heartwarming episode (without this uneasy feeling). I still like Yoshida attiude towards Sayu and how he treats her with respect.

The narrator is Kenjiro Tsuda.

Real productive week

Rolling with:

Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song
Great ep, right in the feels and the music is just amazing

Fumetsu
Another deep in the feels, and now the journey begins.

86
Undertaker is as advertised, a pure unadulterated badass.

HM
Moriarty: Many eye-opening reveals, wow!
Tokyo Revengers: Next ep gonna have
Hige wo Soru: Glad I picked this up, so far good

 

[Gajeel]

Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song
The fight scene was really neat, and the ending touching. Amazing episode,
86
The origin of the 86, interesting settings,
Fumetsu no Anata e
@Erinyes That guy is made to narrate I had to stop the episode since his voice was bugging me too. Had a hunch that he sounded like Joker from Fire Force (and Lero-Ro from TOG), and it turned out that I was correct . Anyway, loved the episode. Let the journey begin.

Honourable mentions
Isekai Maou
The Pekora easter egg is worth an honourable mention,
Tokyo Revengers
The start of Takemichi's character development,
Fruits Basket

Fruits Basket was too disturbing, not nominating it till it fixes up

It was spicy.

@Gajeel

@Hermit what happened in Fruits Basket? I am not seeing it so i don't know.

Spoiler

Vaguely speaking, Akito (God of the Chinese Zodiac) and Shigure (Dog Sign) love each other (to death), but at one point, Akito started sleeping with Kureno (''Former'' Rooster Sign) by fear of losing him (Kureno leaving the house) because he somehow broke the link, some sort of spiritual bond or curse, between his sign (Rooster) and the God (Akito). Shigure caught on the ''cheating'' and decided to sleep with Akito's mother, Ren, as revenge in order to hurt Akito for sleeping with Kureno. However, even if they spite each other by doing stuff like sleeping with someone else or ignoring/acting cold towards the other one (mostly Shigure) they still love each other to death and even end up sleeping together at the end of the episode after this whole thing was revealed. In other words, think of it as an extremely toxic relationship.

Yup before you posted i checked online and find it so that's why i deleted the original post.

And yeah definitely disturbing.

 

[Zasz]

Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song (Amazing fighting scene and extremely emotional ending)
Fumetsu no Anata e (Damn, we're just at the beginning and yet I cried like an idiot)
Zombieland Saga: Revenge (Saki crying because she realized that she'll never grow up and will always remain the same due to her Zombie status, really made me cry...)

Honorable mentions:

Iruma-kun (really underrated, I wish people would watch it more and more)
Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy (Ganbare Kuro!
Eden's Zero (Didn't expect so much quality on episode 1!)

 

[Demonspeed]

1. Fruits Basket: Ironic that the Dog of the Zodiac has the biggest influence on their "God" .
2. Sentouin: I think I like the main cast more than KonoSuba's. Alice is easily the Best Girl of the season for me so far.
3. Tensura Nikki: Very comfy. The things I would do for a hug from Shuna...

HMs:

• 86: Solid all around.
• Megalo Box: A bit predictable but the pacing is fine and it has powerful moments.
• Tokyo Revengers.

 

[Jammin]

I'll vote for..

Tensura Nikki - Just a soothing anime through and through.
Isekai Maou - The lewd elf outdid herself this time.
Sentouin - I <3 scum characters like this.

Feel like Vivy would be on here for me if not for the fact that I just couldn't catch up in time. Still an episode behind.

Honorable mentions...

Eden's Zero - Still sort of in disbelief that the adaptation is good.
Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? - Feel like this anime is good in spite of itself.
86 - I'm not sold yet but it's getting better.

 

[Aniokku]

Hello everyone

I've had some time. so I thought about watching some new series. But no series convinces me. The series are good to pass the time. But personally. I didn't like them: Edens Zero (Is it me or does it have more fanservice than FT? If it's because of fanservice. I prefer Isekai Maou to Shoukan), Battle Athletess, Dragon Ie wo Kau, Fairy Ranmaru (Very rare for me).

Well my top this week is:

1) 86
2) Vivy: Song of the Fluorite Eye
3) Tokyo revengers

MH:
1) Hige wo Soru
2) Iruma (I'm happy that the series is already here).
3) Megalo box

Honorable Mentions:

[Marmalade]

Mhmm, this time I'll go for:

1. Vivy - Good episode, love the smaller stories that are being told in it so far.
2. Fumetsu no Anata e - Was it a bit sad? Maybe. Did I love it? Yes.
3. Fruits Basket - To be honest, I didnt' find it that disturbing. We all knew that family is quite toxic.

This week's picks!

Fumetsu no Anata e
Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song

Spoiler: Honorable Mentions

The Honorable Mentions section was tough for me this week. I wanted to point out some new shows that maybe haven't had a chance to shine yet, but maybe will soon.

Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy - We always feel guilty not picking the childhood friend option in any rom com. This may be their moment!

Super Cub - I'm getting similar vibes to Yuru Camp here!

Seven Knights Revolution - I was TOTALLY going to drop this show!... but... then a minor character in this show stepped up and performed a miracle!

Spoiler: Ellen: Nothing bothers her

Ugly Beam ATTACK!!!

I was laughing for several minutes and she keeps bringing a smile to my face.
Can Ellen save the show again next week!?

 

[Prince of the RL District]

EDENS ZERO
Great second episode!
