In light of OceangateGate, by show of hands, who still wants Elon Musk to send them to Mars?

I mean, this whole thing (like I kept saying in tags) is both grimly fascinating and utterly predictable. Because there's this whole culture that you could and should do absolutely anything anywhere on earth, if you're able to pay for it, and at the same time that the companies offering these experiences can do absolutely everything to cut corners and make profits while placing people in incredibly dangerous situations. Whether it's the mountain adventure companies who take tens of thousands of dollars to shunt total novices up Mount Everest, or this, it's just like... MAYBE YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE EVERYTHING INTO A HYPER-CAPITALIST COMMODITY JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE RICH AND/OR WANT TO TAKE MORE MONEY FROM RICH PEOPLE! MAYBE!

Within 48 hours of this story breaking, we have learned that:

The sub is not tested or certified by literally any regulatory agency, because "innovation can't wait for rules"

The sub is built of fucking camping store gear and a video game joystick, they did not pay for appropriately certified parts for the depths they wanted to go, and the company fired the guy who pointed it out, rather than dealing with any of the issues he raised

The CEO (one of those now missing on the sub) gave an interview talking about how "at some point, safety is just waste"

In 2018, a literal group of esteemed submersible experts wrote to this guy about how his plans were bad and he should feel bad; he ignored it

The sub does not have basic safety equipment, a readily available backup vehicle, an acoustic beacon, etc, and has gone missing several times before; it is only luck that they found it those times

You can't get out of the fucking thing by yourself even if it is on the surface

It used Elon Musk's Starlink satellites for communication and cited SpaceX as a private adventure tourism model (as noted, you know, the rockets that keep literally blowing up)

You have to sign an enormous waiver (after paying $250,000 a head) acknowledging this entire thing is completely unregulated and you may very well die

Which it looks like these poor schmucks either have or are soon going to, either by imploding instantly at great depth (the merciful option) or slowly suffocating in a freezing coffin in the dark (the absolute hell option)

Like?!?! How was this not COMPLETELY predictable?

And this happened WHILE THEY WERE GOING TO THE TITANIC

You know, the most famous case of Man vs. Nature technological hubris in history

I mean. This is the ultimate outcome and perfect encapsulation of the "no rules no regulations ever, everything including the most dangerous things are crassly commodified for money, everyone is an expert and/or experience is irrelevant, safety rules only exist to hamper innovation and disrupt The Free Market, costs should be cut on everything for more profits, and this should all continue regardless of the consequences or the impact on the other people then required to endanger themselves to rescue them" late-stage capitalist hellscape we are living in. And maybe I shouldn't have laughed, but uh, I laughed:

Raise the Titanic!

The batshit 1980 film based on the batshit 1976 Clive Cussler novel with the batshit premise of: what if we raised the wreck of the Titanic?

In 1976 or even 1980 the idea didn't seem too crazy.

At least from a technological perspective. Conventional wisdom at the time held that cold Atlantic waters acted as a preservative and Titanic was probably in decent shape! All we'd have to do is go down there in submarines and attach some floatation balloons! Child's play, really.

The morality of disturbing the underwater grave of 1,517 people -- many of whom were assigned death by their rich employers -- never came up.

Of course, everything changed in 1985 when the actual wreck was discovered. In reality, it turns out spending (at that time) 73 years at the bottom of a corrosive salt water bath, having been broken into two pieces, then ramming both pieces into the sea floor at nearly 40 MPH does something to a ship's seaworthiness.

It became immediately obvious that "raising the titanic" was an extremely silly (and ghoulish) idea.

But this movie, and the book, live on. Forgotten by most, they define a superbly stupid alternate reality where Titanic was raised from the dead... then towed into New York City to complete its maiden voyage. No I am not making that up.

Oh and the why? WHY would anyone go to this kind of trouble, spend all that money to do any of that??

Simple! You see, Titanic carried a super secret cargo of an incredibly rare mineral that was smuggled out of Europe in 1912 so that America could use it to power some kind of missile defense system. In 1975. Or 1985. I forget... it's been awhile. But yeah, apparently the only source of this incredibly unique ore was mined then promptly lost on an ocean liner. Oops. And also I think the USSR was involved somehow, because you simply cannot write any kind of espionage technothriller in 1976 without Russians.

Anyway, the film is stupid BUT impressive for its miniature work. There is not a second of CGI in it, and all the underwater work is real. They built a really really big model of Titanic that was historically accurate.

Then sank it. Then raised it.

In glistening slow motion.

Legion of Super-Heroes: Rank the Versions

The Legion of Super-Heroes was my entry point into comic books. My uncle handed me a digest-sized reprint of their early Silver Age appearances, and it has been my strongest comics love since that point. Others come and go but the Legion (and its million characters) will always be my true love in comics.

I saw a thread on reddit the other day asking readers to rank the various versions of the Legion of Super-Heroes, so lets go:

The Original (1958 – 1989): This is an obvious number one. The original LOSH laid the foundations for every version, reboot, and homage to come. All the mainstays – heroes, supporting characters, enemies, locations – debuted in this run. The most classic moments and famous storylines occurred with this version. Easy number one.

The Reboot (1994 – 2004): Another strong version that successfully modernized multiple characters. Lyle Norg’s reboot had to quadruple his fan base. The White Triangle storyline was fantastic. This version had a few questionable choices but overall was very strong.

Five Years Later (1989 -1994) The most controversial version but I love it. Not a perfect run but the characters were awesome. I have never loved Jo Nah as much as I have in this run. Cosmic Boy, Night Girl, Kent Shakespeare, Infectious Lass, and Spider-Girl were other standouts. Roxxas was hilarious but terrifying in his insanity. The Subs were badass, fearless warriors in the resistance. Jacques had something to do besides utter random French words! Tyroc became something other than a walking cliches! Glorith was something other than a devolved blob of goo! Sun Boy’s downfall was painful and horrifying! Love this run!

Threeboot (2004-2009): Mark Waid returned to the Legion for another reboot and threw everything sideways. It was great! Lyle was vastly different than the reboot but still received more character development than his original version. Loved the Cosmic Boy and Brainy rivalry. The addition of Supergirl was unnecessary and the ending was weak but still – many enjoyable moments.

Legion of Super-Heroes (cartoon): Nothing ground-breaking but it was fun.

The Retroboot(2007 -2011). I wanted to love this more than I did. The storylines and characters were bland. It started off strong with the Lightning Saga, the Superman/Legion vs Earth Man’s Justice League, and the Legion of Three Worlds storyline. Even the first year of the title wasn’t bad – Earth Man joins the Legion, Titan is destroyed, etc but it turned into forgettable blandness. Way too many new characters were introduced that weren’t memorabIe. I did love the spotlight on Night Girl and her relationship with Cosmic Boy. Tyroc again was something other than a stereotype. Legion Lost didn’t amount to anything – too bad as it was an interesting concept.

The Imperial Guard (Marvel): A Legion by any other name is…the Imperial Guard. I remember reading their first appearance in a Classic X-men reprint and I immediately tagged the group as a Legion homage. Always fun when they make an appearance. I love that Marvel keeps the group strong even though the team is an homage to a competitor. The Guard won the trial of Jean Grey/the Phoenix. Gladiator defeated the Fantastic Four. Gladiator and the Guard were standouts of Marvel’s 2000 cosmic runs. Love it.

Bendisboot (2019): Speaking of blandness, there is this hot mess. I didn’t even finish the run and that is the only time I can say that about a Legion run. Team books are not Bendis’ forte – his Avengers run should have proven that so I am unsure why DC thought he would be a good choice for a writer of the biggest team in the comic book industry.

There are other versions that I didn’t list simply because they only appeared for an issue/episode so there’s not much to rank. I did enjoy most of the “one-shot” Legions.

My Review of Kakegurui

How did I get into this anime? I was curious about this particular title for quite some time. There aren’t really that many anime titles where the main premise is about gambling and even when one exists, the anime itself stinks.

Hyakkaou Private Academy is the home to the rich and powerful’s offspring. Basically, the entire school is filled with recipients of the lucky sperm club. On the surface, the school seems to be doing its job of teaching these kids the real world. But once classes are over, everyone gambles. Take your pick of the games! Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you go broke, and sometimes you become someone’s pet bitch. The student council has a system in place where if someone falls into debt due to gambling, they become ‘house pets’. The boys are known as ‘fidos’ and the girls are known as ‘mittens’. If they become a house pet, they must wear a tag around their neck and get harassed by classmates.

Ryouta Suzui is one such unlucky mongrel as he found himself falling to Mary Saotome. Mary is pretty handy when it comes to gambling and has crumbled several unlucky students. Enter Yumeko Jabami! She’s the newest transfer student to Hyakkaou and to Mary, an easy target to take advantage of. Unfortunately for Mary, she’s going to learn the hard way in a game of “fuck around and find out”. Yumeko is loving these games, but she loves figuring out the cheaters of the game even more.

Who’s bluffing? Poker face or kill face?! Who will win? Who will lose? Enter the rabbit hole to find out.

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB…AND THE OTHER DUB: So, things started off turbulent as this anime was in Netflix jail. Only recently has Netflix decided to give the U.S. audience some anime on a week-by-week basis. ONLY SOME ANIME! But seeing as this came out in 2017, unless you were living in Japan or had a VPN, you were shit outta luck to seeing this. But it eventually got released to U.S. Netflix with several languages available. Not only that but the live action Kakegurui is also on Netflix, as well as recent spin-off Kakegurui Twin. So, Netflix has total control over the Kakegurui franchise. End of story, right?

As of 2021, Sentai Filmworks licensed Kakegurui. Not a big surprise as Sentai has decided to pick up several animes that were exclusive to sites like Amazon, Crunchyroll, and Netflix. But then Sentai decided to give Kakegurui a dub. Replace the L.A. based voices with the ones in Houston. I’m not sure what and why all of this is happening and why it’s absolutely necessary to have two English dubs when one dub was recorded not too long ago. The only other time I see this happen is with Dragon Ball and whenever Animax grabs a title. Was this payback from when Netflix redubbed Neon Genesis Evangelion? I know Sentai has nothing to do with Evangelion, but most of the people of that company do. Here’s my opinion on the matter. I prefer the Netflix dub for Kakegurui. Also, the Netflix dub to Evangelion sucks eggs and should be wiped from this Earth. Moving on!

What’s really weird about this is that if you go to Hidive’s website, they don’t even have a page for Kakegurui. I guess they just have the rights to put it out on blu-ray and not the right to stream it. Here are the voice actors, yo!

SHIPPING: Oh, there are a lot of ships that people flock to with this series. But aside from seeing all the obvious lesbianism going down at the student council, we do see obvious stuff when it comes to Itsuki’s feelings for Kaede. Other than that, some might point to the words exchanged between Ryouta and Yumeko in the season one finale. But there’s one thing everyone should know while watching this anime. The only ship that matters here is Any Character x Gambling.

Ryouta has no chance of satisfying Yumeko unless he can bring the heat in a game. The way I see it, unless Ryouta makes Yumeko moist down there in a game, it’s not gonna happen. We only saw it once, so it’s not off the table.

In season two, we did see a bit of unrequited love. It’s been clear from her debut that Kirari’s secretary Sayaka loves her. Imagine that, a lesbian named Sayaka! Never saw that before, hahaha! Kirari did say some things to Sayaka that could be taken as a dismissal. But then we get the scene where Sayaka loses a game and has to jump from a building and Kirari jumps off with her. I don’t know if it’s love or just bitches being crazy.

And as for Kakegurui Twin, Mary Saotome has a childhood friend named Tsuzura. Ever since Mary transferred to this school, Tsuzura has been hanging with Mary. Not just that, but sees Mary as her prince. And yes, her imagination goes that far, wedding dress and all. That’s great and everything but what the hell happened to Tsuzura in the main series? If she loves Mary Saotome so much, where the hell was she in those 24 episodes?

CAN’T READ MY, CAN’T READ MY…: Let’s talk about the kill faces. Everyone has one! Even the men! But in this anime, the kill face is majority a women’s sport. Let’s face it, the majority of this anime is focused on the women and how many kill faces one can make in the span of a 22-minute episode. Usually, we’ll see this when the random character feels cocky or whenever Yumeko catches them cheating or lying.

Seriously though, the only face that scares me is whenever Yumeko gets angry when Midari does something to anger her. Out of all the scary faces I see in this anime, Yumeko’s displeasure of being with Midari is the one that scares me the most. Yumeko is actually nicer to the characters who literally poisoned her than she is to Midari.

ENDING TO SEASON ONE: It’s been pretty clear that the student council has been running this show from day one. President Kirari put in the system of “fidos” and “mittens” for those who are in debt from gambling. Not only that, but draws up “life plans” for those poor souls. These life plans are pretty much what they sound like; to force the debtor to give up any dreams of their own in place of what the student council has written out for you. Mary was not down with that and slowly crawled her way out of debt. But we’ve got other shit going down from the inside. There seems to be a traitor in the student council.

Yumeko has had her fair share of run-ins with members of the student council with different outcomes. Yumeko defeated Itsuki (the chick who likes taking off people’s fingernails) and Itsuki in return was dropped from student council. Yuriko however defeated Yumeko and that caused Yumeko to temporarily become a house pet. And then the battle between Yumeko and Midari (the eyepatch chick with a death wish) ended with Yumeko as the victor. And then Yumeko took out Yumemi! But that last one revealed someone who was plotting Yumemi’s downfall and that was the student council treasurer, Kaede.

Kaede is a cold, calculating, blunt man. And if I might add, perfect casting choice for Tomokazu Sugita! Good on you, Japan! More so, he’s one of a few characters that didn’t expose numerous “kill faces” when up against Yumeko. And I gotta say, quite refreshing to see more male characters. I love the heavy lesbianism as much as the next girl, but mix it up sometimes! Kaede had high ambitions of becoming student council president and was willing to screw anybody over to get there. So, will he be able to take Yumeko down in a match? Nah! Kaede embarrassed himself in front of a large crowd that included Yumemi’s fan club, the entire student council, and even the president. Kaede was then stripped of his title, went into a hysterical coma, and his hair went all Marie Antoinette.

Moving away from that drama, Yumeko is about to go face-to-face with the president of the student council, Kirari. Both girls are intimidating and have an unbelievable love for gambling. The stakes for this game are pretty dire as if either girl loses, they must drop out of the school, never to return. Long story short, it was a tie so neither girl has to leave. We learn a few things about these characters in this episode, however that’s not the important part for the shipping community. For the shippers, some clever wordage was tossed around that could give us a dropped hint for Yumeko x Ryouta. I think Yumeko and Ryouta’s words in the final episode were meant differently from what we’re all thinking. On another note, I’m not sure if it was Kirari playing or if it was her doppelganger vice president.

In the final couple of minutes of season one, Itsuki nurses Kaede (who is still in his hysterical coma). Kirari disbands the student council. And Yumeko is still gambling for the sheer thrill of it.

SEASON TWO: As I said before, Kirari is disbanding the student council. Add to that, she’s making the next student council election a big gambling event. The one with the most chips at the end of the month becomes the next student council president. Not just that, but the winner also becomes the head of the Momobami clan. Kirari was the head of the clan and her stepping down from that position has brought out 11 members of the clan to transfer to the school and compete for that honor. Each one of these 11 members all have last names that end with ‘bami’. Interestingly enough, Yumeko’s last name also ends with ‘bami’, but as for her being related to any of these people is shrouded in mystery. Yumeko’s family and everything about her is an enigma. We know that she has an older sister that’s in a hospital of some sort and that Yumeko literally has an unlimited amount of money at her disposal.

As one would expect, Yumeko is going to take part of these challenges. Many want Yumeko to become the next president, but all Yumeko wants is to gamble. Others have invested their time with other competitors like Mary Saotome and several of the random Momobami clan members. And because she can’t pass up a good game, Kirari is also competing to stay president. I don’t get it if she’s the one that disbanded the student council and started this whole melee election. Whatever! Crazy bitches be crazy bitches!

ENDING: Yumeko has had some life-or-death challenges this season. This doesn’t scare her; in fact, she gets a kick when the stakes are ultimately high and the scent of death reeks. Unless Midari is involved, but that’s to be expected, she’s annoying. Nevertheless, Yumeko did go through a lot of frightening moments including being poisoned, almost gambled away a pinky finger, and playing a game where the loser would have to plunge to their death. Yumeko has made it through all of that and thensome. Although, the poisoning was pretty gnarly, girl almost died there. When it comes to the election, Kirari is still in the lead as she holds the most vote coins. Yumeko, Mary, and Ryouta wind up in the top 10. But no one can really come close to Kirari. Seriously girl, what was the point of all this?

But those Bami members are determined to take down Kirari by any means necessary. Terano might seem like the big kingpin of this gang of Bami members. She is in second place after all and was behind some of the bouts Yumeko faced including this tax game she played alongside Kaede and Itsuki. But what does that old saying go, never trust a pretty face or something like that? Rei, the one who has been seen as just a moderator at most instances showed their true colors in the season two finale during an auction for vote chips. Rei wants revenge against the Momobami family and will happily see to Kirari’s downfall. Call it a lifetime of putting up a façade and being a servant to the clan.

I was kinda surprised Rei was really biologically female. I say ‘kinda’ because Romi Park voiced her. So I had a small feeling that was the case.

Anyways, Yumeko in her oh-so-delicious fashion managed to take down Rei and then doing an ultimate gamble. I honestly don’t know what could possibly surpass all the gambles that were life-or-death. Yumeko nearly risked her life in several gambles, including almost dying from being poisoned. But I guess this time it was for the Jabami name. Regardless of all the turmoil, Yumeko wound up victorious, Rei dresses like a girl for once, Yumeko nearly loses all of her vote chip winnings from the game against Rei, and there’s no real conclusion to who’s going to run the student council.

Okay, so…I thought the first season was pretty solid and left an opportunity for a second season with the student council shake-up. But then season two kinda fell flat with the introduction of all the ‘bami’ clan members. Maybe the Mary Saotome spin-off will clear things up! Five years after the main anime ends, Netflix drops the Mary Saotome spin-off. Now will this clear up all the weird things surrounding her involvement with the mysterious vice president? I’m gonna spoil it right here and say, no. There are only 6 episodes and most of them revolve around Mary and a bunch of characters we don’t see in the main series.

TWIN: Much like Yumeko, Mary was also a transfer student. And also like Yumeko, her high school debut captured the attention of many as Mary caught wise to what the other students were dishing out in terms of games. But Mary was scouted by different people. Some wanted her to join certain clubs. Others wanted her to become a student council member. And then there are those who are putting their faith in Mary to take down the student council’s barbaric system of ‘fidos’ and ‘mittens’. Seeing as that system was thriving one year later, it looks like that Mary wasn’t able to put a fork in it. But nice try with the resistance, guys!

There’s only six episodes. There are a few new characters that we never see in the original anime. Most of these characters are definitely not third years on the verge of graduating. So why haven’t we seen these people before? Are we going to get more episodes in the future? Is the manga adaptation still in publication? We still haven’t seen what happens to Midari’s eye. I mean, we know what happens, but we just haven’t gotten the gory viewing. And what happened to Tsuzura? She loves Mary! Did she graduate early, get killed by the student council, commit suicide for Mary’s adoration, transfer schools, get slapped with one of those student council life plans that went into effect immediately, what!? I’d believe the third option myself. Something has to account for not seeing her in the main series.

Kakegurui has been very entertaining. And even the spin-off with Mary was interesting. I’m hoping for another batch of episodes in the future. Again, only the first season had my attention. The second kinda bored me with the student council election. Maybe it was the addition of all those clan members or the fact that I expected more from certain characters. As far as having an anime revolve around gambling, it wasn’t all bad. It could have been worse. There has been worse from what I’ve seen. Maybe in the future, I’ll check out the Kaiji series as I heard that had to do with gambling. Maybe another day once I finish the romcom I replaced Kakegurui with.

In the meantime, if you want to check out Kakegurui, Netflix has every episode available for streaming. This includes the first season, second season, the Twin spin-off, and I think there’s even a live-action Kakegurui on the platform. However, Sentai Filmworks released the first 2 seasons on blu-ray. Just remember that there’s a different English dub than what Netflix gave.

What are the odds that the sub company survives this? I mean they not only got several people (very rich people whose families will cause trouble regardless of the signed waiver) killed and lost their expensive (yet still cheap) sub, but one of the guys on it was the ceo!

(These are all series I watched!! Everything about Wolf is entirely based on me! I just got Hanako kun's contact lenses today, and I'm just waiting on his cape because of a shipping issue, then he'll be my first entire official cosplay!)

My Anime 9/10′s

With probably no spoilers cuz I don’t wanna talk too long about them zzz.

1. Fullmetal Alchemist

YALL ALREADY KNOW THIS A 9/10. The only real reason this show is not a 10/10 is because it’s just a story that I’d never rewatch. There’s like 70 episodes, which is way too long for my short attention span, especially since I’ve seen it already. But yeah, by all accounts, this story is a masterpiece and is one of the only “shounen” anime’s that I genuinely enjoyed. No random sexualization. No dumb filler. All the characters have an actual purpose and role in the plot and everyone has their own morals and ideals that interact to make the story interesting. I couldn’t bring myself to really hate anyone, even the villains, because everyone was pretty well written. Also super satisfying ending that ties up everything properly without leaving me confused or upset. If you only watch a few anime in your life, Fullmetal Alchemist is pretty much a MUST WATCH to see a beautiful example of a modern classic anime as an artform. Also I should say that I really don’t like Hunter x Hunter (AN EXTREMELY CONTROVERSIAL OPINION BTW) but I love Fullmetal Alchemist so take from that what you will.

2. Parasyte: The Maxim

Same kinda shit where you already know this a 9/10 for me. It’s just a very satisfying anime that doesn’t have random sexualization or random filler or anything like that. Ending is also very good and ties up the story in a way that doesn’t leave more questions but also allows the characters to have a “life” outside of the scope of the story. I think Parasyte, because of its more horror and psychological-esque vibes, counts as a seinen and not a shounen, so for more mature audiences. I also really liked how the story was successfully adapted to modern times since the manga is from the 80′s. I have actually rewatched this anime, but what stops me from giving it a 10/10 is a few things that I found kinda “stereotypical” that I don’t wanna discuss further too much cuz it’s spoilers. I still obviously really like this anime and highly recommend it.

3. Zankyou no Terror

TBH, this anime is pretty hard for me to properly describe in a lot of words as to why I like it. The art was really pretty as well as the music, which was just straight up amazing. The cinematography of this anime is excellent as well, and a lot of scenes have that sense of being acted out by real people, as opposed to feeling completely drawn/animated. I was a teenager when this anime came out and I think a lot of the themes presented in the show really related to me. The show does kinda have some leftover questions when it ends that prevents me from rating it a 10/10, but I have such a soft spot for this anime. It’s from the same creator as Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop, and although those two animes are also very good, they did not impact me as much as this anime did. Recommended for people looking for idk something that gives off Inception vibes?? In the sense that it’s much more about its themes and its message more so than the believability of the events that occur.

4. Magic Kaito 1412

THIS IS JUST A PERSONAL PREFERENCE BTW LOLOL I DON’T KNOW ANYBODY WHO’D PUT THIS AS A 9/10 ANIME. I JUST REALLY LIKED IT OKAY. It’s made by the same person who does Detective Conan but I like this a lot more because it’s a much shorter series and slightly more mature (more for teens than just straight up kids). I really liked the main guy, I think he’s funny and charismatic. He’s a pervert at times but Imma forgive that cuz of the 90′s. Idk it’s just a really fun anime that I don’t have to take seriously and can just watch and enjoy.

5. Mob Psycho 100 (season 1 AND 2)

Imma put season two as slightly better than season one. So season one would be like a 9 and season two is like a 9.25 for me. Super super funny anime and I like it SO much more than One Punch Man. I liked that there was a good balance of serious moments, but you can definitely still count this anime as a comedy. I’m typically not the type to watch “comedy” but this anime genuinely had me laughing out loud, while also crying and freaking out right alongside the main character. The main guy is super great because he’s just this shy and sweet middle schooler, and it’s really interesting watching him balance trynna have a normal life while also using his powers for good and such. Apparently the anime was decently faithful to the manga and there’s apparently enough material for a third season so I’d be pretty stoked for a season 3, but season 2 ended on a pretty good spot and was satisfying. TBH, if I had the time, I’d probably rewatch both seasons and bump it up to a 10/10.

6. Vinland Saga

This anime is just the first season of what I hopes to be a whole series that will be stay beautifully and faithfully adapted from the manga. As someone who read very far into the manga (but quit like years ago simply because I hate slow updates lol), I actually didn’t enjoy watching the anime at first. I was impatient and kept waiting for when like the “major” events would happen. So I watched like three episodes and quit. But when I had some free time, I decided to get stuck in and commit to watching the whole series and I was so pleasantly surprised with just how good it was. I was impatient but I needed to realize that there is no “filler” or like “wasted time” in the entire anime. I hadn’t read the manga in years, so so many things were only vaguely familiar but I think this helped me stay surprised and excited throughout the anime. I’m looking forward to the rest of the manga being adapted because it’s just a good Viking saga lolol. Major themes of stuff like growing up, violence vs. peace, what it means to be a good person, etc. Lots of blood and LOTS of violence like a LOT they are VIKINGS CMON but tbh not really any gore which I liked cuz gore makes me ughhhh. A very good watch and only a taste of an excellent story.

7. Demon Slayer

It’s just Demon Slayer duhhh. Of course this a 9/10 for me. I don’t wanna write much just cuz the show is so popular. Just read a REAL review of this anime somewhere else lmaoooo. Also yes I did watch the movie in theaters and yes I liked it a lot as well mmkay. I’m mad hype for season two. My S/O doesn’t like Demon Slayer as much as me, but also has Hunter x Hunter as their all time favorite anime. Do with that information what you will lolol.

8. Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 2

Same shit as Demon Slayer. Just go read someone else’s review about why it’s so good lol. Also, unlike Mob Psycho 100, I can’t include all of the seasons in this, because I have very various opinions about how good/bad the other seasons were. But this season 3 part 2, was just plain and simply amazing. While I might not like each season equally, as a whole Attack on Titan is also a modern masterpiece of storytelling. Read the manga if you can.

9. Great Pretender

I love this anime so much. Such a good and fun wild ride. The whole show is ridiculous but in a fun way. I’m a HUGE fan of heist films, so of course I absolutely enjoyed a heist anime. I’ve watched this show in sub AND dub, due to the fact that everyone is “technically” speaking English the entire time. If you’re a purist, just watch in sub OR dub cuz I did get confused here and there, especially when I would go back to compare language discrepancies.  Because basically I did this super high maintenance thing where I switched back to Japanese whenever the main character had flashbacks, since he’s ya know, Japanese. The dub also has this confusing thing where the first five minutes or so are still in Japanese, but switches to English when a little cue card on the screen goes “For the Viewers sake, everything from now on will be translated to Japanese.” It’s cuz in the sub, the inverse obviously happens where the characters are initially speaking broken English to each other, but for convenience sake, everything from that point on will be in Japanese. It’s confusing at first but I liked it cuz it just proved the whole international vibe of the show. It’s funny either sub or dub when they joke about how bad the main guy speaks English, cuz in the dub he’s speaking perfect English, while the sub has him not speaking English at all. But anyway, great anime that WOULD have gotten a 10/10 if not for the last episode. Like without spoiling ... WTF WAS THAT LMAOOOO. The anime as a whole is super wacky and zany but at least I could try to think it’s real life, but that last episode was just so unbelievable and bizarre and pulled my suspension of disbelief into the STRATOSPHERE that I just had to convince myself that this show takes place in some improbable alternate reality where something like what happened in the last episode is at least 5 percent possible CUZ HOW DID ANY OF THAT WORK LMAOOO??? Once again, great show, one of my absolute favorites, BUT THAT ENDING THOUGH WTF.

10. BNA

Good super underrated anime that I don’t hear people talk about at all. If Beastars is anime Zootopia, then BNA is Disney Beastars lmaooo does that make sense? It’s a lot more fun and zany than Beastars and I liked it way more. Made by the same people who made Kill la Kill. I really like that more classic, animated “cheap” art style that the anime has, and I also really liked the plot of the story. Not a 10/10 cuz the show does leave a few unanswered questions at the end of it, but this show was such a fun and interesting ride. When I finished the last episode, I was left with a big smile on my face because I just genuinely enjoyed this anime. Recommended if you wanna watch something a little unique and more on the silly and wack side. Talks about some serious stuff, but luckily the show never takes itself TOO seriously, and remains overall lighthearted for a fun action/sci-fi show.

I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss Previews Main Cast in First Promo Video

  Another round of reincarnated otome villainess antics is headed our way with I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss, which just revealed a pair of teaser visuals and a promo video, as well its main staff, cast and a Fall 2022 broadcast:

  As highlighted in the promo video, the main cast features Rie Takahashi (Emilia in Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-) as Aileen Lauren Dautriche, Yuichiro Umehara (Kimura in Heaven's Design Team) as Claude Jean Elmir and Toshiki Masuda (Porco in Attack on Titan) as Cedric Jean Elmir.

    Based on the light novels by Sarasa Nagase and Mai Murasaki, I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss is being directed by Kumiko Habara (I'm Standing on a Million Lives) at studio MAHO FILM, with series composition by Kenta Ihara (Saga of Tanya the Evil) and character designs by Momo Makiuchi, Eri Kojima (In the Land of Leadale) and Yuko Oba (I'm Standing on a Million Lives sub-character design).

Most of the team behind My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Season 2's soundtrack, including Natsumi Tabuchi, Hanae Nakamura, Miki Sakurai, Sayaka Aoki and Kanade Sakuma, are composing the music.

Yen Press, who publishes the light novels' official English version, describes the series as:

  Villains Have Their Own Routes Too!

  ​When her engagement to the prince ends unceremoniously, details of the young noblewoman Aileen’s past life come rushing back and help her realize she’s living inside the world of one of her favorite otome games—as the heroine’s greatest rival! However, her memory has more plot holes than bad fan fiction… and the only certainty is that if she doesn’t do something quick, her death is all but assured. The hero/main-love-interest can’t be relied on, so why not see what the last boss has to say?

  I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss is due to begin airing in Fall 2022.

My Review of Komi-san Can’t Communicate

Coming into the fall 2021 season there was only one thing I was sure of and that was I had to watch Komi-san no matter what. This was at #1 priority. And then we learn Netflix got it! Ugh, that’s a bit of a headache. Netflix has that habit of clumping everything together and giving the public what they want six months after the fact. But things were a little different this time and it’s giving me hope. As of recent, Netflix has gotten its act together (in some cases) to give some anime a weekly viewing. It was just a little annoying that it was three weeks late putting out Komi-san. Better this than what Netflix has done with Pokemon.

Day one at Itan Private High School! Hitohito Tadano is as generic as generic can get. Don’t worry, he’s not the main focus.

The main focus is on Shouko Komi. Everyone in class seems to have fallen for Komi despite her never uttering a single word to anyone. So, imagine everyone’s disgust when they see someone as bland as Tadano sitting next to Komi in class. It didn’t go well.

After being conked on the head, Tadano wakes up at his desk and hears Komi make a meow sound. Tadano caught on then and there that it was hard for Komi to communicate with people. Tadano and Komi decide to communicate through the chalkboard in the empty classroom to learn what’s what. Up to this point, Komi has never had a friend. But she would one day like to make 100 friends. And starting today, Tadano will be friend #1. Throughout the series, we see Komi try to make new friends and inch closer and closer out of her shell.

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: Like I said before, Netflix got ahold of this anime and made many of us here in the west upset. A lot of anime fans like myself prefer to watch our shows on a week-by-week basis and not wait months after release after piraters saw and ruined everything for everyone else. No one likes that! So, Netflix decided to give the people what they want (and later on fuck things up more). With shows like Komi-san and Blue Period, Netflix decided to be kind and give weekly animes. Now was that so fucking hard? Could you now do that for Pokemon? Freakin’ Canada is hella ahead of us!

With the sub, Aoi Koga has joined that special club of seiyuus who grunt and squeak in the recording session and get paid for their time. Boy, people love those seiyuus. Akari Kitou did that for Nezuko on Demon Slayer and just like that, the fanbase exploded. And just like that, Komi-san has its own fanbase with cute squeaks coming from her. And as for Tadano’s seiyuu…

Oh fuck.

Asta’s voice never leaves. He never leaves! I know his voice actor plays other things besides Asta and not at all grating. It’s just that…my ears know the pain of Asta.

Oh yeah and this little tidbit! In the episode where Tadano and Najimi go to Komi’s home, we are introduced to Komi’s mother. She says the phrase, “Forever 17”. There is only one seiyuu in all of Japan that is notorious for saying that and for looking like she hasn’t aged since the 1980s.

Kikuko Inoue!

So…how many mother roles does this make for her resume?

JAPANESE CAST: *Komi is played by Aoi Koga (known for Kaguya on Kaguya-sama, Shinoaki on Remake Our Lives, Maria on Zombieland Saga, and Naruha on Accelerator)

*Tadano is played by Gakuto Kajiwara (known for Asta on Black Clover, Shinra on Fire Force, Shun on Rent-A-Girlfriend, Ake on Shield Hero, and Kine on Domestic Girlfriend)

ENGLISH CAST: *Komi is played by Amber Lee Connors (known for Pieck on Attack on Titan, Brandish on Fairy Tail, Fortuna on Re:Zero, Nozomi on Keijo!!!!!!!!, Leah on Love Live Sunshine, and Mei on Citrus)

*Tadano is played by Kyle McCarley (known for Claudia on Violet Evergarden, Shinji on Fate/Stay Night, Yushirou on Demon Slayer, Ryouta on Your Lie in April, Tem on Beastars, and Aoba on Durarara)

FAVORITE CHARACTER: Komi-san. Sorry, but she’s at God-level in my book too.

SHIPPING: I’m just going to ship these two and leave.

What else is there to say? Komi x Tadano is cute even though there will be a lot of back and forth and misunderstandings between the two if there is to ever be an actual confession.

CRAZY BITCH ALERT: It was established in the first episode that the school Komi and Tadano attend are full of “unique” students. Everyone has a quirk of some sort! No, not like what your mind immediately jumped to. I think most of us can get past whatever the fuck Najimi is and Agari’s weirdness. And no, that wasn’t a dig at Najimi’s gender, I just think Najimi is nuts. But I seriously can’t get past what Yamai did! I know Komi wants to make 100 friends, but I think she should have thought twice before becoming friends with Yamai. Before I continue, yes, Yamai is on my dislike list.

Before the big Yamai incident, we see her as a fan-girl to Komi-san and very stand-offish whenever Tadano came in the room. But then, Yamai ends up kidnapping Tadano. Tied him up and left him in her room that’s full of stalker pictures of Komi-san. THEN, Najimi and Komi come to Yamai’s home on an invite and they found out she’s a crazy-ass, Notice-Me-Senpai, psychopath! This moment was enough for Komi to tell her off (through writing) and scare the shit out of Najimi.

And that’s the one thing that’s always bugged me is that Komi easily forgives Yamai and allows her to be friends with her. Yamai thankfully doesn’t kidnap any of Komi’s close friends after that, but she does do a lot of shady-ass shit. Wanting to see and feel her boobs is one thing, but stealing her stockings and wearing them over her head is something that should be met with a security guard, Doberman dog, and a restraining order. Bitch needs a tranquilizer!

ENDING TO SEASON ONE: Has Komi managed to make 100 friends yet? No, we’re quite far from that. Although, the friends she has made thus far are unique to say the least, including the latest two, a ditzy airhead and I’m pretty sure Ymir from Attack on Titan. Moving on! We end the season off with a school festival. Komi’s class decided to do a maid café. This was not an easy decision to come by either. Everyone fought tooth and nail over which idea was going to feature Komi in the best light. She is the class goddess you know! But because Komi wrote to Tadano that a maid café would be fun…well, that’s all she wrote…LITERALLY!

Of course, we got all the prepping of the maid café and the school working hard for the festival footage like in any other anime. On the day of the festival, the maid café was doing very well. Komi, despite not being able to speak in front of people pretty much either handed out drinks or fliers. And then Najimi did some unethical things in order to get more customers. As a result, while Komi’s class was the winner of most popular business, their prize was revoked largely due to Najimi’s unethical practices.

Oh, and we get this cute end of the night dance between Tadano and Komi. But it’s not what you would expect. He was in drag and this only lasted about five seconds before Najimi butted-in. And after a job well done, they all went to a karaoke bar. Yes, they had Komi sing. Yes, Komi was a nervous wreck about going up. Yes, all she did was silently squeak. It was all cute and adorable stuff I would expect Komi to do. But she had a lot of fun with Tadano and the rest. These friends are to be treasured by Komi-san always!

AND A SECOND SEASON ANNOUNCMENT! Also, Komi spoke a whole sentence.

SEASON TWO: After all the exciting events that took place last season, you’d think Komi got a bunch of friends now. After giving Komi a notebook dub named, “Komi’s Book of Friends” Najimi broke it to her that she’s only managed to get 13 friends in a total of six months. Yeah, she’s got a ways to go before hitting 100 friends. Also, I’m pretty sure Najimi is hitting some sort of copyright with that book of friends nonsense! Throughout this season, Komi managed to make even more kookier friends than last season. This includes Katai (someone just as shy as Komi, but intimidating to look at), Sasaki (a field trip friend and yo-yo fanatic), Katou (another field trip friend and shogi player), and Naruse the narcissist.

You know what? This fucker almost wound up in my dislike category. If Yamai didn’t exist, he would totally be there. As much as I despise narcissists, Yamai’s existence will trump this kid.

ENDING: Valentines Day and White Day! Get ready for the cuteness.

For Valentines, some of the girls decided to go to Onemine’s home to make some chocolates. While they ate most of the good ones, they were able to scrounge up enough for obligatory chocolates for the classmates and friends. Throughout the day, Komi was trying to find the right time to give Tadano the chocolate that she made. And Tadano kept getting his hopes up as no one gave him a chocolate throughout the entire day. He was about to give up hope until Komi came to his house at night and gave it to him.

For White Day, it was clear that Tadano cares for Komi and it’s getting to a point where he sees her as more than just a friend. Now there’s not going to be any love confessions here yet, hell no! But he does give Komi something special, including hand cream and some candy.

Since we’re now in the month of March in this story, that means it’s almost time for this school year to end. Komi was feeling melancholy about the year ending. She and Tadano reminisced about the fun that went on during the past year like the field trip, the culture festival, and everyone coming to Komi’s house for Christmas. But no matter what changes may occur with the upcoming school year, Komi will always treasure the friends she’s made in her class and that Tadano will always be there for her.

GOD, I LOVE THIS ANIME SO MUCH! I always like to root for Komi whenever she tries new things or is with a new person. I’m glad that she has a small tight-knit group of friends. I know she wants to make 100 friends, but this is a very good start. I don’t even think I ever made it to 100 friends at her age. I wonder what would be next for this story. I often wondered why she never met or hung around any upperclassmen. Maybe we’ll get more of that if this gets another season. Maybe we’ll get some stuff with underclassmen since they’re entering their second year of high school.

I think a lot of people like myself found ourselves in Komi’s position with extreme social anxiety and opening up to new people and surroundings to be hard. Unlike Komi, most of us didn’t really have the privilege of being with a bunch of accepting classmates. I mean, come on! Who here had a pleasant experience in school where you had social anxiety and weren’t chastised for it? Exactly! If this were another sort of genre, I think we’d see more of that shit I had to deal with. Even though I find myself a little envious of Komi’s treatment, I enjoyed watching this anime greatly.

If you want to watch Komi-san Can’t Communicate, Netflix has both seasons available for streaming.
