AoT finished airing, next (fourth and final) season is already announced and is planned for fall next year.
I loved the season and hope they wrap it up in equally spectacular way.
Meanwhile I've watched some other titles, mostly forgettable mediocrity, have to add a few words about three.
I've expected perhaps too much from Utena's author in their new work
Sarazanmai. This time however the "thought provoking" material failed to provoke anything (at least in me), the result is an unbaked mish mash of different sillyness. The initial idea desire vs love opposed is very odd as it in reality can, but doesn't have to be "fighting" each other. Past that whatever the author wanted to communicate with the audience ends with multiple wtf-s in each episode.
Add cheapening of the thing with repeated animation sequences (I hate filler!), then questionable VO singing vocals and you get a timewasting rubbish.
The only good message suggested at fist as subtext, later drawn bluntly with something like "departure reveals how deep was the love" couldn't save this junk - reading Gibran's Prophet takes less time, says the same thing (among other stuff) and sorry because I have to suggest reading poetry instead of wasting time on this failure.
Avoid and recommend only to your worst enemy. Even better, recommend it to anyone who loves playing grinders.
A certain acquaintance shilled for
Gantz so I've binged it.
The story is about a mysterious entity who recruits dead people (makes a living copy of them with all their memories and character) to kill aliens that live hidden on Earth. Sounds fun? Well… It isn't really.
The MC is degenrate. There is a girl with big boobs ofc who's not interested in him so he'll hollywoodize himself and for no reason fuck the first another girl who appears next, but hey, onscreen sex is very important to already idiotic story otherwise who'd watch the trash?
The show pretends to question different morals, for example hobo killers are first saved by recruits who shouldn't even care about anyone (as are - dead) only to later die and appear as new recruits for absolutely no reason.
It's not all, in the first group of recruits there is a dog who does practically nothing except licking the big boobs girl genitals. It can't help with killing aliens and recruits are so damn stupid to kill it so the entity clones a person that can actually help against aliens in future. But then who'd lick…
There is much more of idiocy in this anime including plot holes (who put the suit on the dog for example) and I can't remember an ending of anime so badly made.
To sum up, if your age is between 13-17, this anime is a must watch as is perfect for trolling others at that point of life. Plus, cmon, animated boobs are in. If you're 18+, skippit.
Unlike previous two titles,
Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin is not a dud. It's not some spectacle or something, but seeing it holds less than 7/10 on MAL, I say it's underrated.
MC gets a job in government agency that tries to keep different kinds of mythological creatures a secret. Basically…
The thing is this MC can understand what those creatures are saying unlike anyone else. So instead of extermination or destruction of habitat and similar moves, the agency can now go pacifist route - if possible.
Truth to be told, music is not really good, animation either, there is some cheesy humor in it, but hell I like what they did with the idea where basically communication = diplomacy efficiency RPG skill.
Could have been better, can't say it couldn't, but
if you're looking for an anime where violence is not the solution to everything, I promise you won't be sorry for picking this one.
