Mr. President, a second CSM limited Blu-ray edition has hit the Walmart shelves.

"This shit... is so ass" is my favorite animeme

I'm so hyped because of this reason: La Rose de Versailles (2025) en VF

This season is one of the strongest in the past couple years. I've got a lot of shows I want to watch and was left with a tough choice to pick two at a time: Witch Watch and Apothecary Diaries. Not that I'm complaining.

Yo dawg

Deny, Defend, Depose

I bounced off of this one

ehehe

Want to highlight two shows completed this week, both of which have eyebrow-raising premises at first glance.

TsumaSho: Yeah, lol at the official localizations omitting the "My Wife is Reincarnated as an Elementary School Student" part (they don't want to get cancelled). It would be a really good moving-on story about getting to terms of the MC losing his wife,

It's bad enough for the rating to drop down a notch because of one episode.

Tawawa on Monday: Features not just an age gap and a student-teacher relationship, but also some more "mundane" ones like an office senpai-kouhai and high-schoolers who are childhood friends. Even without the fanservice, its story punches well above its four-minute episode length. They were able to weave different plot (and "plot") points together into a coherent story. The top-notch voice acting adds to the enjoyment. My favorite is Kayano Ai's performance as Kouhai-chan. Unironically watched this for the plot.

Kan-chan was jealous of ogres (oni) because of their exposure in media such as Demon (also called oni) Slayer. I'd love to see a Legolas-Gimli dynamic develop between him and Moi-chan.

I'm pickle Rick animated umbrella! Funniest shit I've ever seen.

afro really likes his FOV shots

Horrors beyond human comprehension

"I can fix him"

Numenor while they were faithful to the Valar

He should just focus on making rockets fly and cars self-drive.

Welcome the reptilian overlords

This episode's OP is storyboards!

That Moi is nerding out about antique French fashion came out of nowhere. Same goes with Kan-chan who is a crow familiar, yet showed up as a dog? Perhaps the plot will thicken later on.

Also loving how the tradeoffs of the spells work out.

According to one of the comments in the Reddit discussion of this item, the UK edition is closer to the JP edition.

Comparison - Spoiler Warning

Haven't watched any of those but the manga Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen has recipes

I learned that they basically ported elements of the original Gundam series here. Having an otaku for a director has its perks.

Oh yeah, Makeine goes really hard and executed a fresh concept very well. The ED1 is a banger and is one of the best of 2024.

I'm actually rooting for Nukumizu and Yanami to end up together because they appear to be the type where they're happily married and be like "it doesn't mean I like you! >_<". Reminds me of this video: Is She Into You?

Top comment from that video:

"Dad how can I tell if a girl like me?"

"Son, I am not even sure if your mother likes me"
