 Yeah, okay. We're live. Hey everybody, if you're tuning in live if you're tuning in after the broadcast It's okay. Don't worry about it. Originally. This was going to be a Dedicated pre-recorded video, but you know what? It's Friday as of this post. Let's do a live stream. Why not? Let's keep the tradition going. I guess. Hi, everybody my name is Giovanni, but I'm this from a we can keep them here to talk to you about my Spring 2019 anime review. I did a month and a half ago. I'm gonna say I did my first video on this subject. I went into the Magical world of seasonal anime. I know a lot of people I don't like to keep up with shows because of the commitment of Week to week, but you know, I had the time and I said, you know what screw it. Let's let's Keep up to date with what is happening with all the shows And I sort of went through the stuff that I was watching and my first impressions on it. After that, you know I finished a lot of those books So I'm ready to talk about them just a quick video just a brief Video on the on the shows. So yeah There's no fancy graphics. I have my phone here and you can't see it because it's super bright but I do have a List of all the shows and they are It's a lot one two three four five six seven nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifty six like seventeen different shows So I'm not gonna take too long on every title just some quick impressions last lasting thoughts I guess on these titles if you have a Different opinion, let me know in the comment sections or in the chat or wherever I'm very interested in in your opinion as to what you thought of the shows if you have seen them or not so Yeah, last time I was in the middle of a lot of shows and I was also watching I was also watching some Older stuff older quote-unquote. They're not really that old because Hi, Joe. Hey, buddy. I thank you. This is completely improvised I didn't like I wrote it earlier today on my community tab. This was just a Random idea that came about a few hours ago. So yeah, I don't expect a lot of live viewers tonight But regardless, it's just a quick stream. So don't don't don't worry about it Yeah, so last time I Mentioned that I was watching a couple shows that were a little bit old maybe like a Year or two years old. I don't know You know, there were there were not from the season But I did include them because I was you know, whatever I was watching them. So I Did finish a lot and a lot of these shows the first one that I want to mention is a Frickin attack on Titan man attack on Titan season 3 part 2 is Quite possibly one of my favorite things of the year so far simply because I have managed to avoid all types of spoilers up until now and Wow, okay, like the the the epic scope and nature of the series just expands tenfold when you finally learn Sort of the secrets because you know, there are tons of more information that we're still learning Especially anime viewers. I haven't read the manga But you start learning about these things and they just change the perception and the tone of the whole series and that is the That's the thing. I love most about series like this that rely on its history and world building and all that stuff When you finally have like the truth behind truth the truth It's mind-boggling. It's superb and I I loved it Like it was only 10 or no, it was 12 episodes. I think like six of them or seven were dedicated to the retaking of the wall and Finding the basement and all that stuff and the fights and the characters that die and the action is intense It was like the final third act of an epic movie But just a series and when you do find out what's happening. It is Spectacular I absolutely loved it I'm not gonna spoil anything, but I'm just gonna say it is a game-changer and I want to Revisit the whole thing especially the beginning part of season three because I feel that was very One it was very underrated and and when you do find out what's happening. It becomes Sort of like a half-truth and it's very interesting that also Beginning from season one to see all the changes now that you know the reality of what is out there What the Titans are and what the conflict really is about? So yeah easily I'm I'm gonna say I'm gonna give it a nine out of ten simply because They split season three into two halves and the first half It's it's slow because it Delves into the politics of the world that these characters are inhabiting and it might drag Just a tiny little bit and then you get to the later porch portion and it's just an all-out Fantastic ride action packed and and very somber and pretty interesting Answer to all the questions that we've had so far. So yeah easily season three gets a full Nine out of ten for me. I usually don't review stuff with ratings, but whatever we're doing it now, I guess So yeah, another one that I was and these are no particular order by the way They're just written here on a notepad another one that I was watching was Why the hell are you here teacher? I don't know what can help me Although let's be honest. We do know what compelled me because it is a very not safe for work series and I heard it was very It was a comedy Series and I gotta say the first couple of episodes I'd laughed simply because it was so heavily censored the characters You would have a giant image and I just found that hilarious at times But after like two episodes that bore me to tears and it resulted in me not giving a Crab about the series and it's it's it's no bueno. It's no good. I give it like a Three out of ten simply because of some awkwardness and some really cool Greatly done character designs. That's it for me. I'm sorry. I did not like this whatsoever next up It's still ongoing, but a demon slayer is my second actually, I Think it's my first, but we'll talk about it in a little bit I think it's my favorite also my favorite thing about 2019, but anime wise. I think it's my favorite so far I talked how great it was on the previous video and I'll say it again everything that UFO table is doing is on Point as the kids nowadays saying do they still say that I don't know The action the music this Choreography the CG the the way the characters look and act and behave is Simply amazing and beautiful and just action packed every episode feels like you're watching a movie It ends on a cliffhanger and even though I get annoyed by it It's still awesome and I don't mind because I'm looking forward to that next episode and it delivers and the story Continues progressing at a nice pace. It reminds me of watching like an old sci-fi supernatural samurai flick from I don't know from a couple decades ago something like that It's it's it's awesome And I do still think Tanjiro is the best or is my favorite modern Shonen lead he is just wholesome and badass Next up fruits basket, I've watched I think it's gonna be like 25 episodes this first season We I've seen like 13 of them and it's great. It's a delight It's wholesome and it really does have a lot more emotion I think than the original because the original while it was fun and a classic for a lot of people It was just fine. This one. I enjoy a lot more especially the updated art and of course it Closely follows the manga as well. So that's plus Next up midnight occult civil servants I dropped it completely after like three episodes because I was bored like I said, it was like men in black but with Folklore and and mythology and fairies and all that stuff. It's fine. It's fine But the art I was not a fan of and there was just other shows that were a lot more interesting so I've unfortunately I dropped it and Maybe one day I'll go back and watch the rest, but it's not a high priority on my list Next up isekai quartet It's not as funny as I would have wanted it to be but at the same time it was really fun And I wish other characters in the series could have had the spotlight instead It kept focusing on a particular set of characters and I know yeah It's it's only four series and there's set of MCs or main characters, but still it sort of felt a little bit uneven and And I'm very happy that we're getting a season two I cannot wait if you want to go into it watch the four series because you might be a little bit lost when it comes to Inside jokes and character interactions. There are a lot funnier if you've seen of course, Kanosuba overlord re-zero and Tanya so yeah, I give it like a I'm gonna say like a seven or an eight out of ten We never learn I Was a little bit iffy on it and I and I As I watched more episodes, I did consider dropping it simply because these characters do some stupid Stuff man like the characters make the dumbest decisions with trashy Not trashy with like classic tropes that I just don't like and I don't like the somewhat rom-com etchy stuff You grow past that there at a certain time at a certain point in time when you're young You enjoy that stuff and then you move on For me at least so I But then again, it is a shonen jump title and it has a Uniqueness to it. I love the artwork and I love the character designs and and and actually the humor in it Sometimes it's really funny and clever other times is really just So I give it like a yeah, I'm also gonna give it a Between a six and a seven out of ten. I guess it was fine It's also getting a second season I'll probably watch it because the girls were actually pretty interesting interesting and funny, but the main character boy, oh boy Next up Carol and Tuesday I don't want to review it yet because I've only seen the first episode and I'm a little bit behind But it's it's fantastic anything involved at Watanabe It's a highly recommended on my part So I'll move that to my summer reviews later on because I haven't started yet next up Hitori bochi is an amazing Oh, yeah, yeah Joe, sorry about that. I will post this is mostly improvised I will post the list in the description after I'm done. I'm sorry about that I will post the list of all the titles and stuff So don't worry, but also check out the first video because I go into a little bit more of a detail on it and At a slower pace because this is a like a rapid-fire review session So, yeah, I'll do that. Thank you Hitori bochi It's a wholesome slice of life show that just energized me week after week It is beautiful. It is funny cute and the girls in this series are very very Energetic and wholesome and it is a very positive message for kids that are going through social anxiety and nervousness and fear of meeting others and all that stuff So I do Commended on on that for tackling those subjects and and bochi She's just a delight and such a cute character that I cannot recommend it enough if you want a nice funny wholesome slice of life show About a girl trying to work past your fears to become friends with people in high school middle school middle school Give it a shot. Everything about this is really really great. I loved it The ha ha episode was probably my favorite Next up set a sign my This was weird from the start and it was weird all the way up to the end But I loved it I freaking loved it and I love the idea that you took a concept like kappa demons that involve if you know about the kappa folklore and mythology They there's the human body supposedly has like this mystical organ That's way up there Down below in the nether regions so the kappa attack humans so they can take that out So the show Goes into that but it's not graphic or anything It just mostly at the beginning you've laughed because it's so absurd and ridiculous but you keep coming back because of the twist and the Greatly written drama between the characters three boys that are very interconnected their stories relate to each other They are going through some really interesting drama heavy stuff. I'm not gonna spoil all the twists and turns but you know, they they break the kappa lore demon statue thing and the prince shows up and transforms them into little coppers and they are good at getting the Hope dishes. I hope I said that right and that will grant them wishes and They are the kappas are fighting against the otter society because in Japanese folklore, of course They're long rivals the otters and the kappa frog monster thing the jigs So aside from that totally weird premise the series is about connectivity how humans interact with each other from an interpersonal to external relationships with co-workers with friends family loved ones and Just great great written show man. Just one of the best of the season. I absolutely loved it I cannot recommend it enough the premise if you get past the oddity of it. I think you're gonna like it I think you're gonna enjoy this weird yet charming series that just explores a lot of heavy themes in In a very stylized way, so I really do want to give it I'm gonna give it a 9.5 out of 10. I'm taking point five points out Because of Because of the weirdness and I didn't really get the whole otter thing until later on in the series But overall, it's just superb writing in my opinion. I like weird series. I like shows that take risks and and write Compelling stories of up characters regardless of their backgrounds. That's what I like Next up Gabriel dropout. I didn't I didn't actually finish it So eventually I'll talk about it. So yeah, I'll pass on that one. Sorry about that guys I started blend s or blends which is about the maid cafe and the Maids that are themed by character tropes. So I thought that was pretty funny. I Thought it was pretty well Stylized and written it's it's very comedic. It has some etchy humor, but if you can get past that I think You'll enjoy Blend s quintessential quintuplets that was from winter and I totally forgot to watch it So I started watching it not a fan I find most of the characters pretty annoying and the situation is just you can only find that in a show like that I don't know. It's it's I prefer status on my which is really well-written compared to something like Quintessential quintuplets, which is about a tutor tutoring quintuplets and they are Annoying at first eventually, you know, you grow to love them and all that stuff stuff. It's we've seen before in other shows So yeah, I'm gonna give that a I'm gonna give that a What stylistically I want to give it a five out of ten because they're five girls, but I'm whatever just a three out of ten Next up We're what's this? Oh helpful Fox Senko sound like bochi. This was Really good. I loved the character of Senko She is extremely wholesome. The series is a delight. I mentioned in the previous video that I hoped Younger crowds would understand The problem that Japanese society and really world society if you will have with Overworking and being stressed and not finding time for yourself to relax and Sort of be in sync with the world. I guess I don't know So I thought it was really well done the ending That was the only thing I did not like the ending was very predictable as soon as a character Does an action near the end of the series like a couple episodes Towards the finale I knew where it was headed and it played exactly like that and it ended in a very predictable way I would have I would have wanted something completely different I wanted them to explore the relationship between the main character main human and the neighbor and all that stuff That does not happen but instead it's a very wholesome pretty looking show with a positive message and it's very entertaining if you want to relax and Unwind then yeah, go ahead and give it a shot. I give it like a Give it a seven out of ten or six. I don't know. I don't I don't I don't do well with ratings Rising shield hero Rising shield hero was the thing that I was really looking forward to this year We first started watching it in January. I think and then it continued Let me move this cable out of the way Sorry and then it continued up until recently when it ended and it adapted the Manga's which were based off of light novels and it was really superb really great Just fantastic. I think it's a new chapter in the Isekai world and I was not totally on board midways Because of Filo like I know a lot of people like her. I know a lot of people are fans of that character, but I was really When you watch this when you start watching the series it has a very Different tone than everything else that you've seen in the Isekai world genre but once that character shows up they do explore some really tiresome and Tropes that I wasn't necessarily a huge fan of but you know I got over it pretty quickly and it I ended up really liking it really enjoying what they were doing and Obviously it ended on not not a cliffhanger But you know there's more content out there and a season 2 is bound to happen because they didn't adapt the whole story So yeah, I do say like a maybe like an 8 out of 10 simply because it did explore some tropes that Yes, they were fun, but they could have been executed better plus when the main Well the main plot of the series has to deal with the waves when that's over. I thought Not not the waves the main problem is the waves, but there's also a subplot Regarding now foomey and when that gets resolved I thought that was the perfect way to end your first season instead it continued Towards the island stuff Portion of the story which really felt like the beginning of season 2 like I know and plus the season finale It ended really well, but I would have saved that for a season 2 I don't know what you guys think but regardless it's a very fun meme take on the off to another world genre Raftalia is a fascinating cute character now foomey as well. Just the fact that they're a little bit older The humans in the story brings it to a different level than other Isakai shows plus the art was consistent all the way through and it was just a delight to watch the characters Just talking and the fights were good Everything about it was pretty pretty awesome in my opinion So, yeah, what else what else do we got? One more show save the best for the last all right Dororo, I am working on a video essay on Dororo, which will be sort of a review slash Pinion piece on it because I do think it is easily one of the best anime of round I I Genuinely do believe that there are probably some faults to it I will have to examine that a little bit deeper and talk about them in the video more in-depth but for the most part it is a successful reinventing of a beloved classic Tesuka wrote the the story back in 60s and it was animated in 1969 so 50 years later we get sort of a yeah like a reboot It does its own thing by the end sort of it has sort of a different Ending, but the story is gut-wrenching Emotional the fights are just frickin fantastic I love that series so much. It was it was really awesome episode after episode I do know that midway they suffered through budget stuff and You do notice in a couple episodes But still even at its worst it still looks really frickin amazing and the character Interactions the way the story plays out they simplified some elements compared to the old TV show and the manga but the way they went about it was very satisfying and some You know, it's a Tezuka story Tezuka You know, he is the god of manga for a reason, you know, and I think now I want more newer versions of Tezuka Books in anime form. Can we get that please? Yeah My favorite shows so far of 2019 are undoubtedly Doro Then Demon Slayer and then Attack on Titan. Those are my 10 out of 10s or whatever. They're fantastic and I I wholeheartedly Recommend them. I think I think y'all agree with me. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know. So that's it That's my first ever spring review, I guess Spring 2019 anime review. Of course more shows premiered, but I wasn't gonna watch everything. I just focused on those Titles that I mentioned now for summer. I am watching a lot of them more than Spring so it's gonna take a while I'm probably gonna do a mid probably when I hit like 10 or so episodes for each probably do a video or a livestream talking about their shows Dr. Stone and Fire Force and all that stuff I did do a preview on the summer guide if you want to check it out on this channel and Yeah, that's that's about it This was completely improvised and not a lot of people tuned in shout out to my boy Joe Thank you so much.
