Holy poo poo Genius Prince is awful they compressed like 10 manga chapters into two episodes and none of it flows. The gags are so executed way worse than they are in the manga. The animation is pretty bad too.

Man this is such a loving disappointment :(

So I know this is like two pages ago but someone in science fiction actually wrote about a gun that shoots forwards and backwards. It was from the little known Star of the Guardians series by Margaret Weiss and it had two features. One, you could take it apart and smuggle it into secure parties and poo poo, and two, it was a feature of the gun that it killed both the user and the target. They called it a Judas Gun, and it fired deadly lasers.

So it is like the suicide bomb of guns?

Basically. Also, for added fun, they gave one to the main character, taught him how to use it, and didn't tell him it would kill him. He survived because someone else recognized the gun before he fired it.

The second ep of Bisque Doll (Dress-up Darling?? not sure what's the exact translation of the japanese title) had put me off a bit because it felt too cheesecake - like I get that the fanservice makes more sense here (given the subject matter) than in your average show, but the male lead becoming a blushing, stammering blob whenever in proximity of boob gets worn out pretty quick, and ep 2 was almost nothing but that. I figured if this would be the dynamic during all the dressmaking bits the show wouldn't really be worth watching, so I checked the manga real quick to see if things got any better. I ended up binging the whole thing and things indeed improve a lot on that front and on most other fronts.

what i mean to say is: it' p. good

Third ep was good, but I am a bit worried about the pacing. No need to spoil anything, but going at this rate they'll need to compress things a bit if they want to line up the end of the season with any significant payoff in the manga.

Oh they totally were. I really hope they don't cheap out when it comes to showing props and materials and stuff, it's an arts+crafts anime you gotta give me those loving sakuga sewing shots

e: oddly enough the school shots which appeared for like half a second seemed hand-drawn? but those are pretty common backgrounds, so no idea if it's common practice to outsource them or get a license from a third party or whatever

odds are they handdrew backgrounds that would be used more than once like the school while that shop isnt showing up again so it became a photo background.

The only way that shop doesn't show up again is if they cut out literally every time Gojo goes to buy fabric.

I watched two episodes of "Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout" and I think I've found my isekai trash for this season! First two episodes are fun and it's really easy to read the leads as a romance between a closeted trans woman and a gray ace.

Just a heads up for folks that might not be aware of it (I only stumbled upon it because I obsessively check my local theater listings each week to catch limited time releases) but the latest movie from the director of Time of Eve and Patema Inverted is gonna get a very limited run in theaters from Jan 23-26:

Thanks for the heads up btw. Was able to catch this subbed today. Was a bit cheesy and predictable, but was still a solidly fun film.

It's unfortunate the back half of 5Ds isn't very good because both Masaaki Endoh OPs and Clear Mind are bangers

tbf yugioh at least makes sense, there's robots and dragons and its a kids toy commercial.

however all yugioh video games should make clear mind play when shooting star dragon is played
