That's why I'm having a little hard time figuring out what three-cour series are out there. The only other ones I can think of are Ace of Diamond and Yowamushi Pedal. Seven Deadly Sins, too, if you want something fun and haven't checked it out yet. Ignore the detractors for seasons three-onward, it leans more into the story starting with the third season.
Oh fuck yeah, another manga reader! I'm sad not everything got animated, but they made going into the manga so good.
A bit, it is a little slower then the other seasons.
I am, I feel like my love for this show is dying from when I watched the last season.
The first season was, as of the end of autumn 2023, over a decade ago but Non Non Biyori was a three-cour series plus a (rather short) movie (which didn't even adapt every Okinawa trip chapter for some reason) and three OVAs, two of which were never released in the west.
just by episode count from the last 10 years?
I feel like Rin's face is wider this season and not as elven and I don't like it.
That's a fucking waste of a figure is what it is.
His face, alongside his brother might be a result of the new studio. But it's weird how their faces are the only ones affected.
I thought I was the only one who saw it...
Maybe the new studio is try to make them more twin-like? But I liked his old face better...
Gabriel Dropout was a fun show. Shame it never got a second season. Lately I've gotten YouTube recommendations for it, so maybe something's afoot.
Reminds me of Karakuri Circus which had the heroine in a skintight performer outfit. I stipped watching after it got weird and the protagonist started wearing a mask
They’re by the same author. Karakuri Circus was done dirty by trying to shove 43 volumes of story into 36 episodes.
The 2018 Shinkalion anime is very good. Tribe Cool Crew and Heybot are also supposed to be excellent. And then, of course, there's the Space Battleship Yamato remake and Iron-Blooded Orphans.
I'm just disappointed because there was too much heterosexuality this episode, especially since it's with baby-faced GIRLS (as opposed to women). However, the underwater fight was cool, and Bravern training and fighting with the military basically makes this Bayverse Exkaiser, but better than the Bayverse ever was. The super robot parody stuff didn't put me off because I really like that genre, and not taking itself too seriously is probably what's saving this from repeating the worst mistakes of the Bayverse. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue watching it, though, because the first half of the episode was a collection of lots of the things that put normal people off of anime (creepy stuff with little girls, slideshow animation, flashbacks), and I feel like this whole show is just cheap, disposable entertainment that's not meant to be remembered or have any meaning or longevity outside "lol remember that gay robot show from 2024? Good times man".
That's why I said it reminds me of it.
The show itself isn't taking what's happening seriously, which isn't a good thing. It already had 3 episodes of mainly setup and nothing unique is happening.
I remember reading the manga and thinking that this arc dragged a bit even then. Fortunately, the next arc that's "combat-focused" is way better than this one but that's a Season 2 thing for sure.
I always saw Gabriel Dropout as a worse version of Jashin-chan, but I'm a snek cultist until the day I die.
