Yes! Exactly my thinking. It's understood that the LotL people aren't strictly human, so it doesn't matter that they're a little off. The same can be said for Beastars. I have no real idea how an actual anthropomorph would look/move, so they're able to get away with some slightly janky visuals. To be fair though, I do think Beastars can still look kind of bad at times.

But as soon as they're tasked with rendering humans... PFFFFFFT. And thank you for reminding me of Leviathan, I had completely flushed it from my memory banks. With Godzilla Singular Point they didn't even bother and just animated all the people in traditional 2D, and I think that worked in its favor.

Jesus!

I will say that I wasn't convinced after the first episode. It felt very methodical and exposition-heavy. The action in the second episode was quite good, though.

Worth noting, not a fan of male Saber. I always thought the whole point of the character was "What if King Arthur but girl?" and now we've come back around to "What if King Arthur but girl... BUT BOY?!"

I thought I would dip out on Moonlit after a couple minutes, but ended up watching the whole thing. Added to the watchlist. I also liked that Polar Opposites one despite bouncing off the manga back in the day.

Are you watching Fate Strange Fake? I'm finding it easier to get into than other Fate stuff because this one seems to overlap somewhat with what I know about Melty Blood, what with vampires and the Church and all that.

Journal with Witch was good. Not much else to say about it. I wondered at first if the aunt was meant to be trans, but it seems not?

The Darwin Incident has my attention. It's a little uncomfortable, and I'm iffy on the art, but nothing too egregious so far.

I liked Sentenced quite a bit. Mostly the animation. It was borderline feature film quality, how did they swing that? I also appreciate a fantasy setting that isn't just another isekai for the pile, or something that doesn't immediately fall back on MMO rules to establish all its worldbuilding.

I will agree that it was giving Clevatess.

Okay, the fact that it's just a protracted advertisement for a gacha game makes perfect sense. I won't even bother giving it a second look.

The newest batch of St*r WarzzZZ Visions was mostly whatever. The one that stood out to me was called "BLACK". I don't know that I'd say it was St*r WarzzZZ so much as it was using St*r WarzzZZ as a canvas for a really fucked up painting.

Just got back from Chainsaw Man. What a wild ride. As soon as you tell me you're putting your anime on the big screen, I immediately want to hold it to a higher standard, and this one checks all the boxes. Absolutely beautiful from beginning to end. Thumbs securely in the upright position.

Sorry, that was non sequitur AF. I was referring to With You, Our Love Will Make It Through.

And having had some more time to process it... yeah, I'm still skeeved out.

I had a similar reaction to Sanda. After the first episode, I was all-the-way onboard. After the second episode, my jets have cooled substantially. I think the story suffers from premise overload. They're setting up way too much, way too fast, and it's like the viewer is expected to take things for granted. Like, now he's sprouting ski blades out of the bottoms of his feet and that's just something we all associate with Santa Claus, you know?

The art style's too nice to pass up, though.
