  • I like Overlord. Its got good worldbuilding but it also doesn’t always take itself too seriously and throws in some comedy every now and then to keep it lively.

    I also really liked Knight’s & Magic. There are not enough medieval fantasy / mecha hybrid shows out there, despite anime being the perfect medium for it.

    Skeleton in Another World was a fun one once you get past the first episode. The attempted rape scene right in the beginning just shows too much on screen IMO, it would have been better to cut some of it short and show the scenery around more rather than what was actually shown. Very uncomfortable, which I hope is what its supposed to make the viewer feel, but then literally none of the rest of the show is every that intensity. Like it was almost Perfect Blue levels of showing too much for too long.


  • My biggest problem with Mushoku, and why I feel like I literally cannot recommend it, is because of the weird pedo stuff. It would be fine and easy to forget I guess if the show stayed in fantasy mode, but for whatever reason any time there is something slightly sexual the show writers decide to remind the viewer “erm actually the main character is a 40+ year old man.” That just pulls me right out of the show.

    The other parts are cool, but that one thing really stops me from enjoying it more.













  • +1 for Black Lagoon, W anime pick.

    Also for Ghost in the Shell, PatLabor, and Redline.

    I will also add on:

    • Jin-Roh/Jin-Rou (not the Korean live action from 2019), but it does briefly show a child on screen as a supporting character, and I dont remember if Kei was over 18-20 or not

    • AD Police Files, and its related series Parasite Dolls (unfortunately, the other related series Bubblegum Crisis and Bubblegum Crash are disqualified because Nene Romanov is 18 and Priss is 19, both under 20)

    • Space Dandy (maybe, that anime had like a billion characters and I dont remember if all of them were adults or not, but its not exactly a kid oriented anime)






  • Not sure where this falls into the 2020 renegotiated licenses and the agreement between Harmony Gold and Big West.

    In basic terms, Harmony Gold won’t interfere or prevent Big West from bringing Macross content outside of Japan, and Big West wont interfere with Harmony Gold bringing Robotech content to Japan. Harmony Gold keeps all the existing licenses they already had from Tatsunoku.

    Now interestingly, nothing has been stopping Big West from bringing Macross here to the US. To me, it seems like Big West just doesn’t care about any market outside of Japan. Its a common stance for a Japanese company to take, but it is a bit frustrating being a fan of both Robotech and Macross. Here we are 4 years since the agreement and Big West still has the floodgates shut. If Harmony Gold isn’t stopping them now, were they ever really the problem or just a scapegoat for Big West to blame their disinterest on the Western market? And what is preventing them now?
