See, having never engaged with the TV series, I thought the movie was alright. At least, I remember enjoying it for the most part. It looked really nice, didn't it? Maybe I don't actually recall any of it and I'm just giving it the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, I'll watch the show.

How remiss of me. I'm also watching Zenshu this season. It manages to be good but also forgettable somehow.

It's probably better that all you remember about the movie is enjoying it and you can go into the series fresh. The movie is similar in name and general concept only. The designs, presentation and even the personalities of the characters are drastically different.

First episode of Esca is off to a good start. They really designed the hell out of that dragon for maximum revulsion. Blech.

I'm also watching Zenshuu, but I've avoided talking about it because I can't decide whether I love it or hate it.

Take the most recent episode, for example. The "villain" has lived so long and seen so much death and destruction that she just wants an end to it all, and the MC "cures" her simply by turning her into a bishi simp. "Oh I have a new zest for life so long as I have these pictures of beautiful men to look at!" It's almost a meta commentary on certain types of anime fans. Yuck.

Same! It's weird. I feel like I'm supposed to love it but I'm not sure. To the point I forgot it's one of the few shows I'm watching this season.

Yeah, I found that so weird. Like Frieren crying at Himmel's funeral but instead of her going on an adventure, someone gives her pictures of hot dudes and she's all better. Don't get me wrong, I liked the song sequence. But, really, that was the solution to existential dread?

You know, Zenshuu's kinda growing on me. The elf episode was still a bit of a miss but the show itself didn't lose its footing. I wonder what's gonna happen with the unicorn tho'.

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling better about the show as it progresses. Having her finally lose in the previous episode really got me on board.
