Tropical Paradise of Hard Shelled Fruits / Re: What Anime are you watching?
« Last post by B E C K on Mar 26, 2026, 10:41:15 PM »Honestly, the show I'm most hype for won't even be out this year.
I saw this teaser for The One Within the Villainess, checked out the manga, and read the whole thing in a day. It's so good. A take on the classic isekai villainess story where a reincarnated girl takes over the villainesses body and works towards the villainess's happiness. Except the reincarnator gets so mind-broken that the villainess she possesses regains control over her body and works to avenge her. It's such a fresh take on the genre. Miyuki Sawashiro plays the villainess character and I'm so excited for it.

I don't imagine I'll stick with much of anything. Only Journal With Witch was a constant weekly watch for me this season. Frieren was nice but since I watch it with Merla, it never had a chance to be my weekly must-watch. Everything else trickled. I stuck with Tamon and Bean Counter to almost the end and I might go back and finish those. Polar Opposites was cute but I dropped it a few eps ago and I dropped Moonlit Dusk once the other guy who liked her shows up. Oddly enough, I managed to pick up Fate Strange/Fake despite not being that interested in the first few episodes. I heard a lot of people were lost but the Fate series always requires homework before you watch one because they don't explain jack shit.
This season, I'll probably watch a lot of first eps and drop most of it. The ones with the most hype are stuff like One Piece, Dr. Stone, or Re: Zero that I have zero (heh) interest in and other continuing things. Iruma-kun was an allright show but I'm far too behind to watch whatever's current for it. Bookworm became a slog a long time ago but I might chell out an ep or two.
I'm hoping Witch Hat, Akane-banashi or Yomi no Tsugai will pull me in. The latter's okay but I'm struggling to care about it even after devouring a bunch of the manga for it. MarriageToxin looks so stylish yet reading the first few chapters of the manga made me lose my interest.
For whatever reason, this show keeps appearing in my YouTube feed:
But I can't say it looks good at all.
Liar Game is from the same creator as One Outs, which I loved the shit outta. But if it disappoints me, I'll just go rewatch One Outs.
Mao honestly looked MEH. I couldn't even finish the trailer.
Boss Queen Season 2.
The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King.
Always a Catch!

Now you might be thinking, "What? Is he just gonna watch everything?" But no, there are way, way more shows starting in the next couple of weeks, it's honestly fucked.

« Last post by B E C K on Mar 09, 2026, 09:34:47 AM »Oh? We might do that. Merla and I still haven't caught up past ep 3 or something.
I forgot to post about it but I finally saw a couple of eps of Leviathan. When did it come out? Last season? Season before? It's not bad. As awkward as it sort of looks, the story is where it's a bit meh. We're following two characters doing two different things and these characters eventually meet but haven't yet. It feels disjointed. Even in tone. The boy character is traumatized and so is the girl except then she's all BARKIN SPOODERS THIS IS FUN WHEEEEEE!1#$ WAR!? WE'RE GOIN' TA WAR? JIMINY CRICKETS, HOW EXCITIN'! I almost wished we just followed the boy at first and the girl's could've been flashbacks or something.

« Last post by B E C K on Mar 06, 2026, 09:55:41 AM »The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent LN is still kinda cringe. I wonder if the translation is to blame. I gave up reading this but then found the audiobook. I actually really enjoy it as an audiobook. It's read by Veronica Taylor and she does a fantastic job.
