Past Seasons
I completed season 1 and the sequel movie of Made In Abyss last week. The pacing of the first season was kind of slow, but the little bits of shock value peppered here and there, plus
minor Made In Abyss spoiler
the big one that is Nanachi’s backstory,
made up for it.
The movie is just one big climax- of the fifth layer arc - so naturally it got me more hooked. All in all, I’d say it’s a great anime.
Also, Bondrewd joined the ranks of my top villains immediately. Maybe even the top one.
This Season
Release that Witch ended last week, and at 8 episodes, it’s far too short IMO.
I noticed that there are two types of isekais that I enjoy. The first are parodies e.g. Konosuba. The second are those with chad MCs e.g. Saga of Tanya the Evil. (Then there’s Cautious Hero which is of both types).
Release that Witch belongs to the second type. There are still elements of wish-fulfillment, but it is always so satisfying to follow the story of a MC who actually has a brain.
My Ribdiculous Reincarnation continued to surprise me. I was half-expecting it to fizzle out like Nokotan, but its humour is still hitting.
If anything, at least its creative direction (if that’s the right term) is unique. Do check out the second half of episode 3 if you haven’t already!
