 Welcome back to another anime season review this time for the summer 2021 season a very interesting season. I think I've been off more than I can chew I thought you know what? It's the start of a new season I'm gonna go all out and watch as many shows as humanly possible And I know there's some people out there that can do it, but I Since July I've been so busy With real stuff non YouTube related And some personal stuff that happened and it was just all over the place And it was just a hassle and it was a bitch to get through This season and to keep track of so many different shows. I usually I'm fine with that because I use Anilist you can find me there at annilist.com slash a week and geek them and you can chat with me there if You're interested and watch all the different stuff. I'm reading and watching and all that and I usually have a fun time with that and can keep track of all the shows, but for some stupid reason I Just couldn't keep up. We're gonna go over them and give my Overall impressions overall. It was an interesting Season a bunch of good shows and some contenders for best anime of the year when I make my Yearly list some of these shows aren't gonna be on that list for sure So the first one on the list Monday is Continuing from the previous season to your eternity the final part of the first series because at the end We got the announcement that they are going to make a second season of sorts. So I am super excited about this I love the manga. It's my currently ongoing favorite manga that I'm reading and This anime adaptation just did a beautiful job of emulating the manga in my opinion I think it was a solid adaptation great acting the actual animation was beautiful all throughout Every episode was rich with detail the character designs were on point and overall just a really solid series and now you follow the character of fushi this Being that started out as a rock and took the form of a wolf and eventually a human being and he sort of starts meeting different people and learning the concepts of life and then living and friendship love sadness grief all these wonderful and saddening steps that we as human beings have to take and throughout the course of his journey he goes into different Settings or places and meeting new people and adventures ensue and you really get attached to these characters and As the story progresses there is some loss But you also gain some of the things as well. I don't want to ruin it, but I will be making a video on Talking about to your attorney in and of itself the property, you know the manga and all that stuff But overall just a fantastic series drugstore in another world the slow life of a cheat Pharmacist I remember doing a video where I talked about my recommendations for Or like the top summer shows to watch and I think I may have included drugstore Simply because I already knew going in what kind of show this is every season We get adaptations of light novels and manga that are like this where it's sort of a slower paced slice of life Adventure of a character probably an isekai Series of a character being in a new world doing something quirky and we follow their adventures that way it's fun, but You know you can watch it and you don't have to know a Whole lot about the story and you can just follow along and have a good time if you need to unwind and relax This is the type of show that you would watch In the case of the story we follow the main protagonist who arrives on this alternate or this Parallel world if you will and he has the ability I think it was to I can't remember the name of it, but it's to locate and It's the ability in all the freaking video games where you locate and assess the And evaluate the items and all that stuff and he's also pretty smart and in his previous life He was an office worker all that stuff and he arrived on this earth new earth and set up a Pharmacy and is helping the creatures and Demi-humans and Regular people in this town by creating things to facilitate their lives and essentially opening up the world Pharmacy in another Parallel earth, you know, these worlds are not like ours. They're more Medieval high fantasy of sorts the art in this series is simple the character designs are pretty and the story It's pretty light back. Like I said, you follow Episodic adventures of this scenario of these characters and that's about it And it doesn't demand much of the viewer and you can just relax and unwind plus of course Our wolf girl in this is absolutely adorable and worth the prize of admission just to see how cute she is in the different Episodes next up Tsukimichi moonlit fantasy now This is based off a light novel series and I believe of manga as well It follows another protagonist being isekai into another world However, his parents are from said world. So he's going back home I guess now the twist here is that this moon light deity of sorts helps him out Transports him to another world and gives him abilities now the goddess in this new world doesn't like the main protagonist finds him kind of repulsive and ugly and banishes him to the outskirts of the of the lands and Over there. He's no longer considered. I think Human I think that's how they say it or with a why instead of you human something like that So he's not a regular human in this world. He is sort of one of the creatures because there are dragons talking spiders elves Orcs and stuff like that. So he's able to communicate with those creatures perfectly however, the humans not so much and the main character befriend some Creatures that turn into human and you sort of get this harem type situation with the three of them and The main characters like super powerful or you can assess any Situation it's one of those shows. However, the fun is in the writing and the characters, I think One of the characters is Tomoe as she is a really Bad-ass mythical dragon and she takes on a human form when she does a pact with the main character now she's able to read minds and Sort of I like this concept that she's able to read the main character's mind as if it were a Movie of sorts or she can see it like you would be watching a movie or an anime and then she becomes obsessed with all the samurai movies and Asia cinema and all that stuff that the main character knows about so now she wants to be a samurai and That leads to a lot of comedic shenanigans involving the character, which I really enjoyed later on we meet another character who's this Black widow of sorts this giant man-eating spider and she falls in love with the main character forms a pact And she has a human form as well, but she's a little bit too Obsessed kind of like like the cultish Crazy ex-girlfriend type which leads into more comedic hijinks. You get the picture. It's a fun Series however and towards the end there's this tonal shift that happens where something really tragic Occurs in the plot of the series and the characters reactions. I think was a little bit weird because you had no Prior knowledge that we were gonna get this soul shift before this thing happens Everything's all peachy The characters are kind of overpowered. There's really no Worry, there's really no challenge to these characters You know that they're gonna be fine at the end of the day because they're so overpowered So when this happens, it doesn't really make sense because they didn't really Explain all the rules all too well and when it hits It just comes out of nowhere. I thought it was a really poor Character development choice for our main protagonist if you know what I'm alluding to Let me know what you thought of that in the comment section down below I would be open to watching more seasons because I do like the main the main trio I just Hopefully the story gets a little bit better Script-wise and plot-wise though. I do hear the light novels are pretty good. So I'm interested nonetheless Next up. I'm gonna upset some people. I'm gonna ruffle some feathers around here on the old YouTubes that some of you are gonna be upset some of you are gonna complain hit the dislike button and think man Who's this guy trying to be an anti-tuber talk about this nonsense? I think this is easily one of the best shows of 2021 It is Miss Kobayashi's dragon maid s the second season key alter animation My god, they they return with a bang everything about this show is so wholesome and amazing I loved every single episode and and this is one of those shows that I could easily rewatch and I could just throw in the Background and enjoy like it's it's the first time I'm watching it We follow the adventure of the dragons living out in the human world and with more comedic slice of life elements But what's great about this is that the series the second season takes its time to develop more Toru and Kana and all these wonderful characters and actually explore their backstories and reveal their time before Traveling to the human world and meeting Miss Kobayashi the animation by Kyoto animation is stellar. I absolutely loved it Some of the things done here put every other studio to shame the fight scenes the choreography and set fight scenes The color palette character compositions the backgrounds the coloring on this show everything about it. It's just beautiful. I I loved it. I think it's honestly in my opinion one of the best shows of the year It had a little bit of everything for everybody and if you're worried a little bit about the fan service It is what it is don't pay too much attention to it Don't pay attention to the internet basically don't pay attention to people and just enjoy the show for what it is If you don't like it, that's valid and more power to you But I see time and time again some people like oh this looks like too fan service You know they're gonna watch it and they might be missing out on a fun time because they You know they're led astray by the weird sectors of the internet fandom If that makes sense next up is shaman king continuing that series I'm a little bit disappointed to be honest with you guys And by the time this started airing in the summer or continuing in the summer I should say it debuted it on North American Netflix so more people tune in to watch and I'm a little bit let down and it's probably because Shaman King, you know, it's an early odds manga a wonderful series a lot of People love shaman king However in some areas I do think it kind of does show its age a little bit especially with so many Fights and the whole tournament thing with the shaman fight and I get it. That's a plot of the show. Trust me I get it, but Most of the time I was just kind of not paying attention and skipping around because you kind of know What's gonna happen in battle shown and stuff especially when the core concept involves people fighting and having The anticipated tournament fight and now and the stuff that it's airing now and they're continuing those fights You know, they're trying to stop the bad guys more power levels being breached and broken and it's all a little bit formulaic and Especially nowadays after so many different shows. There's so many different Stories to dive in and enjoy that going back to shaman king I don't know. I just felt a little bit underwhelmed especially with the animation It's not as good as I wanted it to be. It's good in some areas, but for the most part It's just serviceable. I thought it was gonna be a little bit more Cutting edge I think but that's just me. You probably love it and you think I'm dumb. Hey, that's perfectly valid I just thought it could have been a little bit better. Oh boy peach boy Riverside First of all, if you read the plot description makes no freaking sense I mean it does because it's referring to the peach boy, but Motado and all that stuff. That's great That's wonderful. God bless good for them. But once you start watching the show Nothing makes sense because I don't know why the studio decided to Go with an alternate timeline of events the chronology of the show is all mixed up I believe episode 2 is actually the first one and it's a whole mess of Episode orders. I think the actual finale is episode 6, but Episode 12 is something else in the timeline. It's all screwed up and here's the kicker The manga is straightforward. So nobody can give me a proper answer as to why they Mixed the timeline and they mixed the show like that. I have my guesses. I think they wanted to Bump some of the slower paced episodes up a notch So you saw them earlier and you end the season with a bang, but you're adapting the manga follow it through There's an order there. I don't know. So essentially this is a wartime story. It's based off the Momotaro stories from Japanese folklore But it's done with a twist You have the character of Sally our main protagonist is young girls. Well, Brad. She meets what she thinks is the ork killer slayer and She's fascinated by that stuff and wants to change her way of being and Goes off in this grand journey and she also has this mysterious peach power That she basically goes berserk and has superpowers and is able to kill off these huge monster type orks It gets crazy. You get a lot of other characters. There are Demi humans and Anthropomorphic animals that for some reason a lot of people hate in this world so there's the war between orks and humans and You know the main girl forms his team and she's out there on this grand quest to prove that you can get along and Bring about peace and all these wonderful sentiments. I love that stuff I just really hated that they tried to do a gimmick by Messing up with the timeline of the episodes and the chronology. You didn't have to do that Obviously, I would have given it a higher score on my Annie list But I went I knocked it down a notch just because of that. The art in it is really good I like the character designs and there's some really heavy action-packed moments, especially when you when you learn the story of the young orkslayer kid and why he is the Peach boy The real truth behind his backstory. I thought that episode was awesome That's probably my favorite and the characters frow. She's awesome. She's super cute and carrot as well just a really fun series bogged down by silly Decisions from a anime production team. Oh boy. He would actually when they cry subsu So this is the follow-up to go from last year of he would actually when they cry Everybody thought it was gonna be a reboot. It turns out as a sequel you could Kind of go in blind you're gonna be totally lost But the premise is basic enough where you can go in blind of course I do recommend the games or either the manga or the blind novels or or the original anime of when they cry but you can go in blind and be enamored by what a hot mess go was because Started out pretty cool. And then it just went on and on on This and never-ending loop That's yeah, it's a callback obviously to the original series, but I Don't know man. There was just that with that series was all over the place So with so too we get a whole bunch of new episodes and what they decided to do is Show you what actually really happened So you're reliving go from an entirely new perspective and it's actually better than go But I don't think we needed this. I don't think we needed another series to Retreat the same steps of your previous show I mean The animation is great because it's studio passion. They're the ones that did interspecies reviewers I really like their color palette and character designs but Yeah, I don't think I don't think it was a wise choice because it really does but bog things down and kind of Makes the previous series kind of useless if you're watching if you watch that and you go into so-tsu I Don't think there's a point to go back to the other one and it sort of loses its relevancy and you just want to stick with So-tsu you're being explained all the different shenanigans that occurred in the previous series. Why do I go back? Obviously, that's more of the same. So if you didn't like that one, I really doubt you're gonna be enamored and want to watch so-tsu all the way through the end, but I I just like the characters and the overall premise and world of higurashi. So yeah, I Whatever I dug it. Next up is Another contender for anime of the year in my honest opinion. It is the aquatope on white sand This is done by progressive animation. I think This is a wonderful slice of live drama that I was surprised was lasting more than 12 episodes I thought it was gonna be 12, but there's more. So I'm excited to continue the story Essentially pretty basic plot where you have our main character who is this former idol. She's no longer Working in said profession and she moves back to I believe it was Okinawa and She happens to meet and Wander into this aquarium and falls in love with that setting and The aquarium is more than it seems. There's something Spiritual to it that is very beautiful to behold and I'll if you guys want me to review on the series I'll gladly talk about it at length She meets the acting director there another young girl fresh out of high school, I think or about to graduate and she's Running things With her grandfather who's the original I guess the original owner or director of the aquarium And they're trying to save it from being shut down because it's pretty old and a weary and torn down It still gets its customers, but it's not you know, it's an old building. It's an old staple of the city and They're trying to sell it or tear it down in favor of another you know more modern aquarium and It just sort of goes off from there and I love stories like that where you have obviously a character Leaving one profession to venture into something else and finding out her true calling in this new venture The animation is beautiful the character designs and the plot. I think it's well paced I think it's well written and the characters are done in a very realistic way That you're emotionally invested in this journey. So I highly recommend it Again, I will probably do a separate review once the show ends because I think it is worth talking about and geeking out over Next up is sunny boy from manhouse. Yes, manhouse with a completely new style This sort of reminded me of a manga or watching a manga come to life or watching Independent anime films none of that mass corporate stuff if you will it has a very visually Distinct style and it's sort of a mishmash of tropes and stuff that we've seen before but it somehow works It's confusing as hell, but it works. It's essentially a class that one fateful day the whole class and the building itself drifts into an alternate dimension and You don't know what's happening. There's no sky. Everything's dark and the characters are trying to Figure out what the hell's going on. How do you how are they gonna survive? Wow? Why are they still getting food? Some of the characters start exhibiting? Powers and abilities it sort of becomes into this Lord of the Flies type situation They soon discover that there are multiple alternate realities. I Believe it's called this world The place that they go to on this island and a bunch of stuff happens this is one of those shows where multiple viewings are required to really grasp and Thoroughly enjoy What they set out to do because you you get it, but if you're not paying attention, you're gonna miss out on a whole A whole lot of details when it comes to sunny boy The characters are fascinating and if you like psychology if you like Works of like Satoshi Khan and stuff like that. I think you're gonna be right at home with sunny boy I will be doing eventually another watch for this series. I'm gonna watch it again Because I know there are some details that I missed but overall It's solid and I think it's it has to be one of the best shows of the year just on a storytelling perspective and the Visual cues and flares that are happening man I I cannot recommend it enough next up the Edaton deities no piece now This is done by the same creator that did interspecies reviewers. I'm a Hada. So it's pretty interesting It's not as graphic as interspecies, but it's a lot of fun. I love the contrast and That you have a really Mature story Which some of the most gorgeous kid-friendly visuals that you can imagine and that's sort of the chaotic beauty of this series essentially, it's like Moe anime meets hyperviolent meets DBZ action It's all over the place But it makes sense when you're watching it just be aware that the world that these characters inhabit is Extremely dark. It's not for the faint of heart. There are some stuff that happens some from our words to s a's if you know what I'm talking about and It can get brutal, but that's because of the world that these characters inhabit and what they're trying to accomplish essentially the Edaton are Manifestations of people's will and they sort of create these godlike people they sort of Come into existence now. There are demons in this world and the Edaton deities they fight them Like a thousand years ago or something crazy like that They sealed off hundreds and thousands of them on this rock this giant portal and one of the characters She was a young kid at the time She was the only survivor of that the other Edatens sacrificed themselves to seal them inside so now she's guarding that rock and new Edatens are born but There are bad guys that are trying to break that seal and trying to take over the world this classic evil versus good and What's fun is that the artistic The artistic Force that is Studio Moppa, you know, they they've just been on On a roll hit after hit. They've got so many cool shows under their Belt that you know, you're getting top-notch quality material Now if you can stomach the violence because it is extremely graphic Limbs are torn bodies are punctured They don't feel anything because they're godlike in their abilities, but that all blends into their Fighting style and and all that stuff. So if you if you can stomach that stuff And all the problematic elements that I talked about earlier Especially when it comes to the bad guys and the stuff that they do sort of run this Kingdom sort of like a dictatorship and all that stuff They don't a lot of nasty stuff But if you can stomach all of that you're gonna have a blast this show is awesome and I love The characters are interesting. I love the art design Like I said and easily at least it visually this is one of the best-looking shows of the year just on that alone Next up another is a guy the dungeon of black company Now originally I was going to drop this show because I had too much on my hands But I watched the first episode just to see what all the fuss was about and I liked it It's not the best show in the world But for an easy guy it kind of breaks the rule It kind of breaks the mold a little bit and you have this character that is unlike other Protagonist he's selfish. He's kind of a dick most of the time and he's out looking for himself and everybody just sort of Kind of you kind of like him. I mean he's bad But he's good If that makes sense he's one of those characters where you just love to hate him and he makes friends with other people and He wants to utilize them, but you want to believe that deep down he does care So what is this dungeon company about essentially have a character that? Wanted to do minimal efforts to gain maximum rewards in life and he gets Isakide into another world in our world he I believe he had multiple Business ventures and had like condominiums and stuff like that and he gets Isakide into an alternate earth where it's this medieval type Dark fantasy world, but it's run like a corporation and the dungeons are mined for the resources that they use on the cities And there are Demi humans and like creatures and stuff. So now he's back to zero back to square one so now he's going to warm his way into that corporate business world and retake what was lost and sort of Run this new world like a corporation and that leads into a lot of comedic elements and a lot of funny situations a lot of cool characters and the art even though it's I'm not a huge fan of the studio. I think it was Silverlink. I thought it was really well done for that type of show and Yeah, and I like it. It's funny. It's fun to have a character like that where he's not so basic and vanilla type MC. You have somebody a little bit more complex even if you do Hate him at first girlfriend girlfriend. I wasn't gonna watch this show I jumped in after six episodes because I just needed something Disposable to watch after some things that happened in real life I kind of needed that break of reality and watch something colorful dumb Stupid and just Serviceable or disposable I should say and that is girlfriend girlfriend. It's I'll be honest with you guys I don't like the story the characters are terrible The plot it's just it's it's bad I mean if you want to fry your neurons if you want to Kill off those brain cells watch the show the one saving grace for the show is the character of Saki Saki voiced by Ayane Sakura easily One of the best of vocal performances of the year. She killed it. She crushed that role it's such a it's such a crappy show that The one thing that I can positively highlight is her performance it's essentially this guy that falls in love with two girls and Yeah, he's gonna he's gonna be their boyfriend and Yeah, it goes downhill from there for like two episodes They really try to make an argument out of this Polyamorous Relationship where you're like it's dumb But it maybe I get it I'm not too sure but I kind of do get what you're kind of thinking of even though you're you're a terrible character But then they introduced a third girl And it just goes off the rails into the absurd Don't don't don't watch it. Don't be like me watch something else watch something of quality in your life like Dragon Quest Adventures of Die, which continues to be one of my favorite shows All around and I'm so excited that we finally have a freaking new visual Image not just the original poster which gives me hope because we don't really have a set limit for this adaptation It could be 60 episodes. It could be a hundred. I don't know they don't they haven't said anything They just mentioned that they're gonna continue adapting the whole story all the way through the end Hopefully it's a hundred episodes. I would watch a hundred episodes of Dragon Quest Adventures of Die I absolutely love it. It's sort of this epic sword and sandals adventure Series obviously, you know based off the manga base that is based on the video game franchise I'm new to the whole Dragon Quest world. I've mentioned this many times in the past on this channel But I love this. I love this series so much die is such a wholesome heroic character and the rest of the cast as well, they're all wonderful and When they achieve something you cheer them on and you feel the weight of their actions and then you are Constantly rooting for them and when the bad guys strike It's to be feared the fights are awesome. Everything about it is Really cool a nice throwback to 90 shows and early odds when you had Stuff like this where it's not the most complicated Plot in the world, but you still have fun with great characters music Animation and just overall an epic scope for a story like this next up is welcome to demon school He do my coon season two. I'd love season one back in Was it early 2020 or early 2019 either way? I think it was 2019 either way, it's a fun continuation of the story. It picks off where it left off and You get more promised adaptations for the manga you have the character of you do my releasing the his anger and manifesting into this suave looking Confident version of him relieving his stress and all that stuff that the demons do which I thought was hilarious because Every other character in the series they get all like super menacing and threatening because they're demons You know what basically becomes instead of a shy wholesome boy a confident Kid which I thought was pretty funny and then it goes off into school election plot lines and then they go into Vacation in this amusement park and some Hijinks ensue over there and actual fighting and all that I love the series because it doesn't take itself too seriously It knows how to have fun It has a wonderful cast of characters really colorful and vivid each with their own distinct Personality that you want to root for and cheer on and I I love this series so much I always have a great time watching you do my coon and I love that at the end We had the announcement for season three So I'm really looking forward to it. I cannot wait for that to continue the adventure next up is remake our life The premise I think this was one of the recommended shows from summer for that summer video that I did remake our life has probably one of the best premise This whole batch of shows that I'm talking about essentially have this character who It's trying to live out the best of his Days, but not everything worked out growing up and College and all that stuff and and work The company shuts down and he's down on his leg He doesn't know what to do next and he gets this mysterious golden opportunity where he mysteriously Travels back in time. I think 10 years in the past when he's first starting college and is able to remake his life and Set a new course for himself Obviously, there are a lot of time travel trophy elements that are present throughout, but it's overall a really fun Nice experience where you have this character who has a chance to remake everything has a chance to Chart a new path. I like the aspect that it's about video games when he starts college He is in this arts media school, I guess and the other characters that bond with him and You know, they work on all the projects together and all that stuff They all they all have common goals One of them is into the whole singing and possible idol The other characters a really good artist and this other one is a nice writer and they all work together to create their first It was an assignment, but they wanted to make money for a specific reason that I'm not going to spoil, but they wanted to make their own Visual novel game like a dating sim or an ultimate game or however you call them And I really enjoyed the whole process of that and you go through them making the game and the software and the art Dialogue the scripts and it's really nice to get a show like that where you sort of get up behind the scenes Kind of meta issue if you will even though they're talking about video games you could easily adapt it to Making anime and stuff like that So yeah, I I really enjoy Remake our life, and I think it's worthwhile to watch great art design. I love the characters on this Consistently great a lot of shows obviously they fall back on the budget and they cut corners And you see some lazy drawings here and there, but for the most part 95% of the show is solid and you really get some good drama pieces in here. You have a character that has problems dealing with other people and You know contributing and working with other people and when things go his way He realizes like man I messed up because I did this a bz or d thing and my friends weren't as lucky and This happened because of my consequences, so he gets depressed and down on his luck and It's the other characters that are telling him This is not your fault. We made these decisions together. We made these things happen You shouldn't feel down and out about this. You should be happy and then be moving forward and You know be a little bit more confident in yourself and and it's these themes that I hope can inspire people to sort of come out of that show and motivate people to work towards something and Be happy with the choices the career choices that you're making or the life choices that you're making But at least that's what I got out of remake our life next up is Eden's zero. I Believe I talked about it previously. I I'm not I love rave master. I Didn't quite dig fairy tale not my jam, but Eden zero for whatever reason. I think it's more of the space aspect and the exploration nature of it. I Really enjoy I am loving Eden zero so much. This has been a solid series and I can't wait To continue the story of the other manga Because yeah, I mean I believe JC staff did the animation for Eden zero correct me if I'm wrong on that Everything looks crisp clean and the characters even though they're kind of tropey. You can't help but cheer for them There are some genuine funny moments throughout it does have a lot of shown any Stuff to it, but that's part of the charm and you root for these characters and their quest and the character of Rebecca She's my favorite She's a beecuber in the future, which is essentially YouTube and she barely has any Subscribers which hey kind of reminds you of me in this channel and she wants to grow and be a better content creator and all that Stuff so I can relate to that and I'm rooting for Rebecca She's my favorite character in the show and I hope they're able to you Conquer everything. I don't know you probably more ahead in the story So you can let me know How good it is or if it goes south and it's not that great either way Eden zero really cool stuff wonderful animation Great to have team revolution back. That was a surprise the great yahee will not be defeated again like with A drugstore in another world. We have a lot of shows like this where it's heavily comedic With wonderful vocal performances and this is the case you have here yahee voiced by the awesome Naomi Ozora, she's one of my favorite say use and has done a lot of Awesome iconic characters that are really funny and kind of dumb at the same time and you can't help but love yahee What's the lieutenant if you will of the demon realm and this magical girl Destroyed the the demon realm and all these characters are now on earth disguised as humans yahee now She's lost all her powers. So she's this small little girl and it's sort of the slice of life elements and her trying to Get monocrystals to become big again and eventually powerful enough to beat the magical girl and conquer back the demon realm But she fails every single episode and it's hilarious There are a lot of funny moments. I like that. There's barely any male characters in this I really enjoyed that. It's a breath of fresh air honestly for a comedy show that came I mean you see it on the images how it can be a little bit fan-servicing, but it doesn't play to you that That's just how the character dresses But everything about the show is really a wholesome. There are a lot of heartwarming moments in this where yahee has to let go of her ego and accept that she can't do things and learn to appreciate the small moments in life and Befriend actual humans. So yeah, I do enjoy it. The voice acting for this is phenomenal usually when it comes to Comedic anime all these say is just knock it out of the part in my opinion. Oh boy, Tokyo Revengers the second part of that first season I thought it was amazing. I mean, how could you not like the drama of gangsters and time travel and This crybaby Protagonist who you're rooting for because he wants to set things right a lot of people like to criticize Oh, this doesn't make sense because where are the adults? Where's the Police intervention so this time travel thing doesn't make sense. I know I Don't care. I think it's awesome Especially the time travel aspect it makes a lick of sense But I dig it anyways and that's usually the case with every single time travel show But with Tokyo Revengers Hakanichi and his quest to fix the Gang and to save the love of his life in the present time by going back and all that stuff the interpersonal drama with the various gang members and a lot of them a lot of them are really wholesome and nice individuals that took drastic measures to Move on in life and it leads into conflict with other characters gang fights There's the whole bloody Halloween event that happens in the later portion of the show Which was really dramatic and really tense and every episode you're on the edge of your seat so yeah, I cannot recommend the show enough and I They haven't mentioned this as of this video, but I I hope it does get a second season I mean, how could it not the manga is something extremely well and the show's a hit So yeah, I'm very much looking forward to season two or I may just go ahead and start reading the manga To continue the storyline, but that the way it ends just broke my heart And I knew it was gonna be a massive cliffhanger, but I was ready for it. I'm nonetheless Solid series with great characters animation kind of wonky sometimes But then again now don't come at me guys the manga doesn't the manga It's not the best thing in the world when it comes to the drawings I mean the anime emulated the manga style pretty frickin well but it's more about the characters and the story and the Hygienx that ensue with time traveling gangs in Tokyo. That's That's what we're in for right Digimon adventure 2020 now this caused a whole lot of Noise online with a lot of Digimon purists upset about this show And they criticized everything about it from the character works to the animation to the scripts to the Pacing of the show and how bad it was and how it's this train wreck I gotta be honest with you guys a good 90% of the show. I really loved I didn't mind at all I love that it was different from what we've seen before. I love that they took risk and Just rebooted the show in a different way with a different Different enemies different evolutions and for the first time you got to see that in a Digimon For the first generation of kids might I add The first time that you're seeing everybody go to mega level. I know we saw that in the Digimon tri movies, but again, those are movies for this show I really enjoyed that you had alternate evolutions for the characters for the Digimon, I should say and I liked that The villain is different from the original the motivations are different and there are a lot of spine chilling Goosebumps inducing moments that I really loved when I saw some of my favorite characters come back when I saw Digimon from other Seasons Bob in as easter eggs. I really love that stuff. I'd loved the whole freaking Godzilla tribute with episode 51 we had the Mogendromon scene the end fight for the two Main villains of the series or the three main villains of the show The three main forces I should say that was really exciting and fun as well. So yeah, I have fun I'm a huge Digimon fan since the early odds. I remember watching it on Fox Kids early Saturday mornings and Just the nostalgia alone I teared up a whole lot watching the show when they reached a new evolution and this character reappeared those were really emotional moments for me and just the fact that this show started all the way back in April 2020 and it had to be delayed for like four months because of the pandemic and then it aired some Tragedies occurred in my life and The show was Weaved in through all of that and it's just something that I look forward to every Sunday and I'm I'm gonna miss it because I know the next one is not related to the original kids. It's a brand new thing So I am gonna miss it. I kind of wanted them to maybe reboot the Second generation or something like that, but I don't think we're gonna get that I know they're doing a movie based on the second generation and then the kids But I don't know it's not the same sound the same as watching a Digimon TV show movies All right, but I like watching Digimon on TV But yeah, a lot of people don't like it. I'm okay with it. I thought it was fine I mean, yeah, Pink Saint was a little bit all over the place especially after you finish off the The main bad guy if you will then it just It slows down and bogs down completely and I totally understand it was a very uneven scripted show and a little bit too heavy on An Agumon and Tide But I love that slip, you know Next up is Fena pirate princess now This is a collaboration between adult swim crunchy roll and of course the studio animating Fena, which is production IG This is honestly Again, I haven't finished the series as of recording this This is this is a beautiful show artistically speaking. This is one of the best shows of 2021. It's a very Simple yet effective story. This is a historical fiction series on the 18th century high seas where you have pirates and you have all that stuff with the British Empire and mysterious Goblin islands that I think they're from Japan. I'm not too sure on the whole thing Um on the geography of this alternate world But nonetheless Fena's this young girl gets stranded on this island Her ship was attacked when she was a baby and a little kid and now in present time These characters that are sort of like ninja samurai goblin warriors, they adduct her and rescue her from the island that she was stranded It was a populated island But nonetheless she was trapped there and they wanted to wed her to the scumbag or whatever But nonetheless they free her and they find out that she is the key to what could potentially be this powerful artifact or hidden treasure the character Fena wants to find This other character that i'm not going to spoil but she eventually learns about uh His fate and they set out on this grand quest to learn about her past and how she relates to the artifact or treasure and there are some bad guys that are after her as well and yeah, it's very um anime meets pirate to the caribbean without being so wacky and CGI heavy But the art on this is phenomenal one of the best looking shows Every frickin screenshot in fena is wallpaper worthy. It's that great. It's that good. Everything flows so seamlessly the characters and the animation of them just Just talking the eye movements and the action scenes everything is so pretty and nice Just production i g just knocked it out of the park if you're gonna go for the visuals alone Easily top three of the year So that was a lot of shows that I watched however, I do want to briefly mention a couple shows I have my laptop here with me. The detective is already dead The case study of vanitas And how a realist hero rebuilt the kingdom those are three anime That I watched at least one episode and like I said earlier. I was just I was I was just busy I couldn't do it and there were some other shows as well kageki Shojo, I think that was the name and some others that I really wanted to watch but I told myself I can't do it. I'm just I'm barely catching up with the other stuff that I'm watching. I just couldn't however they were interesting enough That I want to go back and revisit at some point So I do have them still on my watch list on my q-list or whatever list it is So I will come back to them Just know that For the purpose of this video, I'm not going to talk about them Unfortunately, and I know detective is already dead talked about it on the previous video So I kind of dropped the ball on that one, but it was it was interesting the first episode was interesting I Haven't heard great things about the rest of the series, but I'll check it out and let you guys know So then in a nutshell is what I watched for the summer 2021 anime season I'm out of breath.
