episode 3

So Mob Psycho 100 is done for now. Last episode was a bit weird.

...But One Punch Man will have another season, to fill people's needs for more One.

Mob Psycho 100 was a lot of fun.

I'm watching 91 days now. There's a dark story.

I like how the ending of Mob Psycho 100 was Reigen basically just telling the people from Claw to stop acting like spoiled children and it worked. I really hope there's a second season though because I want to see Mob's personality develop from facing interpersonal challenges.

Berserk started off pretty shitty but got a lot better. The animation is still weird at parts but I can't complain because MOTHERFUCKING BERSERK ANIME post golden age arc is what I've been waiting for, and my husband tells me it's adhering pretty closely to the manga after the first 3 shitty episodes. So far I've been highly entertained. Skull-whorls of fate-knight is the best. (As is Puck, Isidoro, and Luca. Even though they can't all be the best but whatever.)

Reigen is kind of my jam. I loved that show and am eagerly awaiting season 2. I'm sure there will be one.

Berserk was good but I have to say the last episode was a little bit more chaotic than I'm used to! It was a big pile of "what the fuck?" and not like the usual "WHAT THE FUUUUCK." but more confusing. Maybe I need to watch it again.

I want to plug Re:Zero again. Like if you guys haven't watched it, then rectify that situation.

We still need to see....I think the last two episodes of Re:Zero. We'll get that wrapped up sometime this week.

Man, I checked out the first episode of Izetta: the Last Witch, and it's been a long time since I saw a first episode that good. This show is set in World War II with the serial numbers filed off, to the point that some of the name changes were a little too... on the nose, I guess (think Germania, Brittania, etc.)? But that's a very, very small nitpick.

Unrelated to that, I was having a discussion with a couple friends of mine the other day about this gif from Tales of Zestiria, the X from this past season. I got to thinking about how tasteless that kind of thing usually is, but it kind of works for me in this case because the lady is wearing pants, yet she seems to react almost on reflex, and the disconnect there worked for me as a gag. How do you guys see it? More tasteless anime bullshit, or legitimately funny?

Izetta's first episode was so good because it was a full story. Not sure what the point of continuing is, since it'll probably just be a process of spelling out everything the first episode was better off for only implying. We'll see.

The gif makes black hat look like an immature idiot, which is often the purpose of skirt flipping gags. So mild success? I don't know if I've ever found a skirt flipping gag funny.

If I start watching it, can we do that awesome NPF chat thing we used to do where we'd meet up once a week or so and crank out a few episodes together? That was fun.

Also I miss you guys
