    I watched Ping Pong the Animation (2014) because it has a top AniDB rating. It was very good.

    Very unique style and presentation. Highly energetic. Focused and progressing. Good characters, variance, progression.

          All caught up! The Hashiras are awesome! All of them have really interesting personalities/backstories/motivations. Never judge a book: I thought Sound Hashira was going to be lame based soley on his design but he’s actually amazing. I like how he was the only one able to “walk it off” after last season’s climactic battle.

          And Mist Hashira soloing an Upper Rank? Goosebumps…

          What the anime does well is how it makes you feel sympathy for (most of) the demons. They really are wretched creatures who were just unlucky in life.

          The Muzan/Michael Jackson thing is hilarious too imho but it seems like they’re toning it down this season…

    Watching Cyberpunk Edgerunners, which is much better than I was expecting and am enjoying a lot. Add that to Castlevania and Arcane in the list of “shockingly good Netflix video game adaptions”.

    Also watching Lupin III part 4, which is a bit of a mixed bag in terms of writing, but I like the characters and its fun enough.

      Really enjoyed Castlevania and Arcane. Haven’t finished Cyberpunk yet. I enjoy it but I think it was a bit overhyped. I think Trese is next up on our Netflix anime list.

    Current watch list:

    • Mashle: Muscles and Magic - Absolutely phenomenal. It’s hilarious from start to finish.
    • Hell’s Paradise - Really good. Bit dark, but enjoyable.
    • Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury - “and then it got worse” the anime. Really good, but man does it start getting depressing after a while when the punches to the gut just will not stop coming, but this is a Gundam, so that should be expected.
    • Dead Mount Death Play - The anime with the weird name that’s surprisingly good. Not what I was expecting at all, particularly given the description, but it’s been really good and every episode I’ve enjoyed more than the previous one.
    • I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too - The anime with a name that’s way too long. Fun watch, basic power fantasy type thing. Not amazing, but just a solid enjoyable watch.
    • The Aristocrat’s Otherworldly Adventure: Serving Gods Who Go Too Far - Yet another Isekai power fantasy thing. It’s fun but ultimately just fluff. Watch it, enjoy it, continue on with your day.
    • Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear: Punch - Basically same as the last one, but this time seasoned with some moe and mild yuri themes (also this is season two, season one was the same name but without the Punch sub-title).
    • Edens Zero - Have you seen Fairy Tail? Do you want to see it again? Because this is by the same guy and he even recycled most of the characters. Seriously this is just “Fairy Tale in SPAAAAAACE!”. If you liked Fairy Tale, you’ll probably like this, if not I’d steer clear.
    • Summoned to Another World for a Second Time - And we’re back to fluff power fantasy isekai. It’s fun, but it’s like the junk food of the anime world.
    • In Another World With My Smartphone - Just like the last one, but even more junk food-ish. Seriously, this is not very well written and if you’re looking for something intelligent best go look elsewhere.

    There were a couple other series I started to watch, but I couldn’t bring myself to continue watching:

    • KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World - So much ecchi content, and one of the main characters is a loli that strips at the drop of a hat. Oh, and it’s an isekai of course.
    • The Legendary Hero is Dead - Once again, this is just a vehicle for ecchi content. Making it even worse the MC is complete scum with absolutely no redeeming qualities, at least not in the first few episodes I actually managed to sit through.
