One of the main ideas behind the Ikoku Nikki anime so far has been to use the structure of the house that the two leads share to underline how "living together" has been a technicality. They're still two separate lifestyles and there is tangible, solid separation between the two

Frieren is back like it never left. Reassuringly familiar in aspects like its delicate palettes and soothing art direction deeply rooted in culture, or the emphasis on ephemeral elements of its world, both constantly tied to its central themes of time and the transience of things

Frieren S2 immediately dismantles all the noise about the new directors. Grabbing luggage off the ground reveals flattened grass under it. Walking away from her stupid magic prank still shows it shining annoyingly in the back. A series about time has to show consequence down to these details

The way Ikoku Nikki uses physical boundaries within households to show the gap between their inhabitants, but now that we're hopefully heading towards something healthier, something you make together in the same space is what leads to happiness...........

It's cool that Kyouhei Ishiguro woke up one day and suddenly decided to be the greatest anime opening director. Like yeah now he only makes insane, thematically rich sequences on good anime, where he matches indie adventurousness with polish exclusive to commercial work. Seihantai nation we up

Now that's good food. The Ikoku Nikki premiere had me gripped from the start, but it did take a bit for it to completely click. I don't know how it compares to the manga, but the way the script is arranged achronologically and the way it transitions between scenes is so clever.

God I love this show so much. Building on its themes even more, My Dress Up Darling shows how being an adult doesn't mean that you need to give up on your hobbies, even if they appear "childish" to others. There's nothing wrong with putting your all into something you enjoy.

I'm careful not to hyperbolize the status of up-and-coming creators, because the way that staff discourse is driven, too many youngsters who landed fancy, mostly straightforward yet bombastic high-profile anime are burdened with unfair expectations of "legends" Souta Ueno IS actually that special

Mono was a very interesting show. The production value blew me away, especially since this is from a brand new studio. That being said, it really struggled to keep me engaged in the second half as I realized that they weren't going to focus much at all on photography.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future. Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

Wind Breaker Season 2 Episode 4 might be my favorite episode of the series so far. Literally had everything I wanted from great direction to really amazing writing that helped convey Sakura's struggle throughout the show as he tries to open up to people.

AnimeJapan Day 1 Stuff: The Summer Hikaru Died still looks great. Quite fitting but it's a bold choice to commit this unequivocally to an uncomfortable, bleak summer feel. Good friction. Also, Hiraoka in a role all about dripping, unnerving morphing animation is the visual typecast of the decade

About Bocchi S2: nara is, if anything, a more visually transgressive director than Saito. Bocchi's avantgarde, unconventional sequences were a tool to explore her psyche, be it from a comedic or occasionally more serious angle. But even in a work without that thoughtfulness, nara *would* experiment

TheMCAvenger @themcavenger.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

I'm hoping that since Keiichirou Saitou isn't the director for Bocchi the Rock Season 2, he's focused entirely on Frieren Season 2. I know that for the first season he ended up coming fully onboard later on in the pre-production process so hopefully he's cooking something amazing at Madhouse

I've gone on about loving Jukki Hanada as a writer, specifically because of how natural he makes his stories feel, but it's always tough to pinpoint exactly what that means. But it's scenes like this, little interactions that mean nothing in the grand scheme of things, that he excels at.

(No horse in that race at this point, but Yoshihara is Nakayama's beloved mentor, not an evil outsider to thwart him. However you feel about S1, its animation producer was radical & vocal about actively stopping any visual technique deemed too weird so maybe consider him when talking about Vision.)

No need to gloat about how vindicating it is to see the Chainsaw Man anime adjust in the way it has under Yoshihara's direction, because the teaser already says everything. I'd say it's a wild pivot for an ongoing high-profile work, but its sibling project did it even more emphatically recently

Hoping the Blue Box anime doesn't implode on itself as they've already at least partially outsourced 4 of the 9 episodes. The episodes still look good but especially Episode 7 looked rough at times. Still 16 episodes to go so who knows how this will end up
