Zenshuu. (Anime) add
I saw it was an isekai. I read the synopsis, and said "nah." But to call Zenshu a isekai totally misses the point. This is a PARODY of everything anime from the last 40 years. It's Gintama levels of parody. But where Gintama used sarcasm and poked the industry with a stick, Zenshu wraps its arms around it, and whispers "You might be silly as hell, but we love you anyway." There is truly a wamrth and love of the medium that pervades the production, from the first minute to the very last. I'm glad I waited until almost the last week to give this ...

Like the original, the Kyoto arc is fire. It's so full of action and new characters, that this season was going to make or break the entire reboot. I am happy to report that it's been a success.

Same crisp artwork from last season, and the animation has taken a step up. Some of Kenshin's moves, and other fight animation, were better than the OG. All the animation was high level. Even 3D renditions like the Rengoku were blended in smoothly and didn't seem obnoxious at all. Fine work by the animators.

The character designs didn't change from season 1, and the buttload of new characters ...

Buddy Daddies (Anime) add
These daddies are my buddies, and their daughter is a darling.

The art work is fine, maybe a tick above average. Nothing to knock your socks off, but professionally rendered. There is some masterful background work in some episodes. I'd call the animation just average though. It started off good, but the quality slid toward the end. There is some well done CGI, but then there are a couple CGI scenes that were kind of clunky; not distracting, but noticeable. In particular the car animation was only so-so.

Where this title truly shines, though, is in the character designs. They are all great. Miri and Anya need ...

This is damned good, and definitely recommended, but with some caveats.

The art work is ornate. Very well done and at masterwork level. For the most part the animation is A Tier. If not for a clunky chunk of 3d CGI here and there, it would have been S Tier. Still, not very detracting overall.

The main characters are well designed, even when one turns into a 3 legged chair. Some of the side characters are done well, but there are others that are picked up, and then dumped, faster than a $3 whore. A couple of them made me wonder why they even bothered to ...

My favorite tanuki family is back to share more of it's foolishness with us.

The art work and animation is as scrumptious as the first season. The animation might even be a bit better, as some scenes do a great job of blending 2D and 3D renderings, as to be nearly undetectable. Even minor scenes get fine attention to detail.

Our main cast of characters is back and they get some good development this season. There are a handful of intriguing new characters as well. This season suffers from something I was a bit dissapointed with from Season 1. The secondary characters are so interesting ...

Maybe a little eccentric, but certainly not weird. One of those titles I've been getting around to for ages. Now I am kicking myself for my foolish procrastination.

The artwork is very appealing. Colorful, crisp, not avante gard, but you can see there's been some love poured into this. I found the animation was about the same. It's not screaming, in your face, shonen spaz out. But there is quallity rendering throughout. There is a fair touch of CGI, but it's very well blended in for the most part. Can't say I remember any of tthe usual cost cutting sequences today's studios beat us with ...

Compared to previous offerings of this title, this arc leaves me a bit perplexed.

Art work was about the same. Solid, with good background work and great character designs. The animation wasn't quite as good, but it's a lot better than most animation out there today. Something of a quibble at best.

Lots of new characters introduced, but frankly the development comes up hard and short. There's just not enough episodes to do them all justice.

The shortness of an arc, rather than a full season, hurts the narrative as well. While what is presented is intriguing enough, things are much too rushed. The ending, ...

Mixed Feelings
I was a big fan of this back in the day, and enjoyed it immensely. I just finished a re-watch after god knows how many years. Sadly I can't say this has withstood the test of time well. Not unworthly, but seems shopworn today.

Art work was good for its time, but looks only so-so today. Characters and mechas were already trope-ridden, and today they are simply cliche. The animation work is something of a mixed bag; some good and some not so good. Overall it was about average for its day. But it's hardly anything impressive anymore.

The narrative is hardly inspired. I got the solid ...

If you are into stuff like Greek or Roman tragedy, or Shakespeare, then have we got the anime for you!

The art work is simplistic, but there is a certain elegance to it. The background work starts out lush. It had a pastel, water-colory quality to it that is impressive. But the quality starts to degrade as the series progresses. It never gets bad, but it was noticeable. Animation started out slightly above average, but slipped toward the end, too. Again, it never got bad, but it was noticeable. Still, much better quality than your typical trash isekai.

The character art designs were also simple, to ...

Preliminary (18/25 eps)
Started a little slow, but picked up after a couple episodes. Then it went straight into the dumpster. We need nephilim washed away in a world wide flood, to bring things back to where they belong.

The art work is the same. There's been a slight uptick in the animation quality this season. No problems on this front.

The characters seem to have been a mixed bag. Bilac is the only one to have gotten any real development so far. But the writing to introduce a new character has been sketchy at best. Why throw in this mecha silliness when she's already got SLF experience? ...
