[Eternal Dragon Of ChaOZ]

Tate no Yuusha

Spoiler

That is one awesome opening theme and video, I am a bit worried though but what looks like him going berserk and his power going out of control.

Making medicine is a great skill for him to have, helps the party but can continually give him a source of income.

Fight monsters, sell medicine, upgrade equipment, rinse wash and repeat, slowly but steadily they are making progress.

Naofumi was able to use Raphtalia's past to his advantage there to defeat that dog monster, kinda like using reverse psychology in order to help her overcome her past.

Either way that was an impressive kill, I wonder what LV those 2 were at the time, that dog was LV 15 so now wonder they got a lot of EXP for it, the rope skill also comes in handy, he can use that for many situations.

03 Wave of Catastrophe, that doesn't sound good for our hero. I hope that ore and whatever loot from the dog monster is worth a bit, they will need upgraded equipment very shortly.

Really looking forward to the next episode.

Tenshi Shitara Slime Datta Ken

Spoiler

Nice new opening there, the party got a lot bigger and it looks like there are a lot of enemies to go up against, I am very excited for this 2nd half.

The Jura alliance and everyone living together, I like it, they were building a big town in the opening, it will definitely have to be big to fit over 150,000 people in it.

Wow Rimuru you are a legend for giving everyone single one of them a name.

The verdict Gabiru got didn't surprise me, I'm sure he will be fine.

Wow look at the village now, it will definitely prosper greatly with the modernizations to it. And now that is has a name and treaty with the kingdom.

Plenty of different demon lords to oppose Rimuru, looking forward to the next episode.

Grimms Notes

Spoiler

This was a really good and enjoyable episode.

I liked the story of Don Quixote, his passion and determination to never give up in what he believes in was rather inspiring.

He also kept his promise, he never forgot once the world was back to normal.

I love the scene where Ex turned into Little Red Riding Hood and absolute burned the windmill to cinders, he showed great power there.

Ah so that guy is Loki, definitely will be seeing more of him in the future episode no doubt about that, he looks like a lot of trouble.

I went to the wikipedia afterwards for more details of his story and it was quite good.

Looking forward to watching more.

Also Watched

Kakegurui

Spoiler

I don't think Kirari is bothered by all these new people, she can just let Yumeko do her dirty work for her.

3 billion yen - 38,387,865.60 Just over 38 million in my currency, not a bad payday for a gamble, though all that money has no factor in the election because of the chips.

I'm not surprised her finger came out, you could see her losing it a mile away, she had no chance against those 2, she really had no idea what she was up against, none of the others will.

Why am I not surprised Yumeko was upset she didn't get a chance to pull a string to lose her own finger, she's just that crazy after all.

either way that's 2 chips for Yumeko and 1 of the family member down, just a lot more to go because she can gamble against the president.

Interesting last scene between Mary & Ririka, I wonder if Mary actually wants to beat Yumeko.

Really looking forward to the next exciting episode, well they will all be exciting, never a dull moment with Yumeko around.

SAO Alicization

Spoiler

No surprise Eugeo was stabbed, you can't trust kids lol, they looked suspicious from the beginning.

That's our Kirito for you, he had those 2 figured out from the beginning, and as usual he is a big softy for letting them live.

That was quite a cool move Kirito used to reflect her attack back at her.

Wow that was some fight they were giving us once her helmet came off, it was very exciting.

That is some way to end the episode and hype up the next, looking forward to seeing Kirito's enhance armament and the ending of this battle.

Date a Live

Spoiler

Wescott up to no good as usual, him and Mira might be even more dangerous this season.

Tohka would give any Saiyan a run for their money when ti comes to food.

Well that was rather cute between Shido & Yoshino, trick or treat indeed, the witch's hat got me for a moment.

If Natsumi was Yuzu she did a great impersonation, either that or she is just going to make someone disappear each day regardless.

Brother sister date next time, will be fun to watch.

Egao no Daika

Spoiler

I like how we get to see what is happening with both sides during this war.

Destroying a major supply line of food, yeah that will definitely make a huge difference plus they got what they wanted in the process.

They are still human after all so no surprise they saved the children.

Stella is a bit broken though, I don't think it's possible to understand what's going on inside that head of hers.

Girly Air Force

Spoiler

Not sure what the deal is with everyone at the base, they enemy is the Xi, why are they getting upset over him being there.

I'm glad those 2 had a great time together during the day.

10 hours is such a big improvement, hopefully she will be able to fly, having him around is already such a big improvement so I am confident so won't be scrapped.

Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS

Spoiler

Quite an emotional episode in the end, feels for Haru.

Marinecess, I really like this new deck for Blue Maiden or whatever she is called now lol, looks like a lot of fun to use.

Spectre VS Lightning, this I can't wait for that one.

Mahou Shoujo Asuka

There exists a contest like this? Don't fully get how it works, but..

1. JoJo - latest episode was fantastic
2. TPN - the adaptation manages to be as suspenseful like the manga chapters at the start, which is a big plus
3. Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken - pretty wholesome ep this time, so par for the course
