You finally came to the Anime League @GrySun!! Hype!!! Now we will see Jojo rise in the ranks ? It’s weekly for each week’s new batch of episodes, not for the series as a whole. And at the end of the season, the winner will be crowned.

Tate no Yuusha
Dororo

[Eternal Dragon Of ChaOZ]

Tate no Yuusha

Spoiler

Vicious hedgehogs/porcupines, now that is scary.

I liked how Raphtalia was bossing Naofumi around in the weapon shop, it was pretty funny to watch.

If I was Naofumi I would have socked Kitamura, hitting him with a shield would hurt a hell of a lot more than a standard punch, all of the other heroes are scum if you ask me.

The combination between Raphtalia & Naofumi is pretty incredible to watch, it's almost as if they have been fighting together their entire lives.

Rapthalia is pretty impressive anyway, she was too scared to lift a blade not too long now, now she is badass.

Good to see that all the villages were grateful, hopefully his reputation with the people around the world improves, he fought incredible hard.

That's one wave down, who knows just how many more there are, and next time the monsters could be far worse and stronger than the ones we saw this time around.

Tensei Shita Slime Datta Ken

Spoiler

I think it's fine for them to have Vesta around helping, he's definitely learnt his lesson and changed his way.

The transformations were interesting, the sister and her comrades turned into human yet Gabiru is basically a dragon.

Ah so Milim is the pink haired girls name, we have seen her since the 1st opening but now we get to see her for real.

Everyone mentions Veldora, guess it shows just how powerful and how much of a threat he must have been to everyone.

Well that was a rather interesting battle but hey, if you can make peace with a demon lord with food than whatever works right.

Besties! Besties! Besties! Now to wait until next time to see what kind of trouble this will stir up with the other demon lords.

Kakegurui

Spoiler

All I can say is WOW! what an episode this was.

Pretty interesting game so far, even got Ryouta to join in to try and help Yumeko out.

Good start winning the 1st hand but that is a dirty trick using the poison like that.

Ririka is quite clever, she is using Mary to do her bidding for her, she can take out those that are threatening Kirari.

I love how badass Mary was at the end there, even Suzui got his gamble on.

Next episode will be amazing I reckon.

Also Watched

Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai

Spoiler

These girls definitely don't mind getting into arguments and fights, Chika even fighting with crutches, all the girls seem to have fighting ability, maybe they all learned some kind of martial arts.

Ah god what a woman they have to protect lol, I definitely feel sorry for the captain.

Interesting how the enemy has advanced aircraft and good tactics, maybe someone rich who has a grudge against Julia

I was also impressed by the teamwork of Kylie & Chika.

Ha ha take that you stuck up lady, she was obviously impressed by the performance by the disgusted look on her face, she left the room pretty quickly.

Egao no Daika

Spoiler

I think that it's a good thing Yuki saw all that destruction and death at the end.

Now she has learnt what war is all about and hopefully she realizes the consequences of her actions.

Looks like this war is going to continue for quite a while longer by the looks of it.

Circlet Princess

Spoiler

Alright well they have a team of 5 now, a bit of a mixed bunch, will have to wait to see the other 2 in action at some point to see what they are capable of.

That bracelet was pretty funny throughout this episode.

I thought Reina was pretty good out there, I think she might be just out of practice, she definitely has the experience.

What a great win for Yuuka, she defeated one of their best and a certain someone just happened to be watching, they will definitely meet again one day.

Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS

Spoiler

Always nice to have someone like Kusanagi around, he is brilliant as usual.

Great duel so far, incredible first turn by Lightning and then Spectre goes and one ups him during his turn.

Looking forward to next time to see how this all plays out.

Girly Air Force

Spoiler

Not too surprised by the revelation of Anima being made up from Xi.

This may answer the question the doctor asked of if they have met before, that flashback might have just given us the answer, quite a cruel fate/turn of events.

I had a feeling she confessed the truth in the letter the moment he rushed off like that.

Well that was almost a disaster, thank goodness Eagle showed up when she did.

Sword Art Online Alicization

Spoiler

Wow, that enchance armament by Kirito to defeat her.

That's our Kirito for you, doing everything he can to save a life.

Man those potions Cardinal makes are incredible they are completely back to 100%

It's Alice! this place they are at definitely looks like their past with the field and tree ect, either way it's a nice scenery.

Wow her sword is so powerful, Kirito is just doing enough to stay with her, Alice even praised him.

I knew it wouldn't be that simple to contain her long enough but what happened at the end was quite the turn of events, now to wait until next time to see how they get out of this predicament.

Grimms Notes

Spoiler

Having blank pages could be a blessing, it means you get to make your own future instead of following a script, I would rather not be a slave to circumstances.

If I did have to follow something I'm not sure what fate I would want my book to have, too many to choose from.

Kinda sad how his own family are afraid of him and want him gone, everyone else also seems to not think highly of him as well, to hell with that woman yelling at him for no reason.

Oh it's Loki, so this is where they met, Ex mentioned it in the previous episode, pretty sure I already know what he's up to here, ruin everything.

Nice job hero, you took care of those monsters easily, now to make it to the ball and save everyone.

Date a Live

Spoiler

I can't remember a time where Kotori has taken her ribbons off herself, that might be the first time I have seen her hair down like that.

That's a better costume then what Miku normally has him wear, he gets to be a man today.

I was so fixated on all the people that I completely forgot about Yoshinon, very clever of Natsumi to pose as a puppet spirit.

Ah so Natsumi is a actually a loli lol, and now she's turned all the into girls into loli's, things got even more interesting, but fun I guess.

I'm more worried about what Wescott and the others are up to.

BanG Dream!

Spoiler

Only Kokoro could jump out of a high window like that and cartwheel to everyone.

Kaoru has all the girls attention as usual lol, she actually has an incredible voice, easily the best in HHW.

How do you catch a phantom thief on a ship that damn big lol.

Haha the good old Konami Contra code

Wow, you talk about going all out, giant Michelle carrying them in the sky and equipping Michelle with wings and rockets like that, also a nice firewoks display.

No surprise it was a fun and enjoyable episode, this is Hello, Happy World!

Pastel*Palettes next time by the looks of it. Shuwa Shuwa Shuwarin Dreaming.

Boogiepop

Mahou Shoujo Tokushuusen Askua

 

[Jammin]

I'll vote for..

2- Jojo

3- TPN

 

[SharkBait]

2 BLack Clover
3 The Morose Mononokean

 

[Gajeel]

Dororo
Tate no Yuusha (spelling error my bad)
Mob Psycho 100 II

 

[GrySun]

1. JoJo - best episode so far perhaps? Bucciarati
2. Hinomaruzumo - great fight, very solid overall
3. Tpn - it‘s a bit slower than expected with the progress, so didn‘t like as much as previous ep.

Slime was disappointing, Milim was a bad inclusion of a character to waste the whole ep on

 

[Wowzers]

This week's picks!

Dororo -ep03- Another great episode. Hyakkimaru got his sense of pain back. Won't that be inconvenient fighting demons?
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken -ep16- Besties
Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai -ep03- Lots of fun today! Chika ED

Spoiler: Other great shows

Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru -ep14- LoL! At the video AND Prince QUALIFIED!
Tsurune: Kazemai Koukou Kyuudou-bu -ep13- Great series… but now it's done.
Manaria (Mysteria) Friends -ep01- Pretty good actually… It's full title is more like Rage of Bahamut: Manaria Friends just without the characters you recognize.
Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari -ep03- Raphtalia is now eligible for Waifu Wars!
Yakusoku no Neverland -ep03- tracking device. Check. Spy. Check. Really good from an anime-only perspective
Go-toubun no Hanayome -ep03- My 5 wives
Radiant -ep17- This episode was really good actually! Been a long time since I actually liked an episode of this.
Sword Art Online: Alicization -ep16- Fighting Alice again… her sword is a tree. She'd be more bad-ass if she was swinging around an actual tree.

Spoiler: Dropped this week

Ueno-san wa Bukiyou - Not really as bad as the other 2 episodes, but I'd be forcing myself to continue, so dropping.
Pastel Memories - they copywrite infringed Rozen Maiden in the latest episode. The only saving grace of this show is the ecchi ED.
Kemono Friends 2 - The magic and the mystery is gone. Now it's just a kids show.
