I JUST finished all of the new Evangelion movies (1.11, 2.22, 3.33) personally I liked the series better although the first 2 movies didnt disappoint I felt a little let down by 3.33 (how many impacts or near-impacts can you have!?)
Any news on when 3.0+1.0 might come out?
Necrons - 6000+
Eldar/DE/Harlequins- 6000+
Genestealer Cult - 2000
Currently enthralled by Blanchitsu and INQ28.
3.33 was generally panned by fans. Anno is just now getting started on 4.0 or 3.0+1.0 or whatever it's going to be called. He took sometime off to direct Shin Godzilla with the guy who did the live action Attack on Titan movies.

So I got around to seeing the first berserk film. Its certainly more compressed than the old series. It was good though. Surprised they left out the rear guard, and that incompetant Tudor general.
The CGI it uses is pretty jank, but at least they use a lot of normal animation as well, unlike the 2016 series which was something like 80% CGI.

*sigh* The 2016 series and the Golden Age Arc movies were done by the same production company. The only reason why Berserk is mostly CGI is because to do the line art required for Miura's work would take way too much time and effort. The blue-rays of Berserk have had MOST of that CGI replaced with more traditional art. The Golden Age movies had a longer production schedule than the anime.

Also glad to see Youjo Senki moving forward again after the re-cap episode.
The way that she takes down opponents with zero feths given.....chilling.
What's your over under on that Christmas present leading to her eventual downfall? I'm betting the daughter end up being a pretty potent mage as well.
hmmmm....taking the under.......
Spoiler:
I think the charcter and the "gift" was a device to underscore how from Tanya's view, everything is a tool and that faith is not needed which is the core conflict i.e. We have the multi-episode charcterzation and exposition of a charcter who appears to be noble, intelligent, admired, grounded, and seemingly full of the type of faith that would be critical to defeating the manical and cyncial protaginist. Our sympathetic feelings are futher manipulated when he is given a prototype weapon by no less than his endearing and loyal daughter who seems to think that with such a weapon he is guaranteed to strike down whatever evil make seek to do him and their nation harm. That under any other circumstance would be assumed to be the device (of faith) by which evil (Tanya) would be defeated or the very least would play a significant role in redeming Tanya and proving to her once and for all the power of faith and God (Being X). Effectively we were being set up to believe he, and by extension the weapon, would play some significant role in Tanya's redemption. Instead she uses modest forces to take down what was supposedly a impregnable defence, eviscerates the counter attack, and seemingly without much effort (it really was a nuisance to her) takes down our symbolic hero with seemingly little effort and as an afterthought takes the supposedly special weapon with almost no fanfare. So ultimately the weapon doesn't lead to her downfall, if anything it like the "blessed" computation gem she just become one more of her tools.

I thought the animation was about the same, really. Then again, I could have been distracted by how flying rodent gak insane the axis followers are.
I guess Aqua inspired them after all.

I'm getting iffy on Dragon Maid. I was wary of it from the initial ads thinking it would just be ecchi junk all the time, but it turned out to be more simple slice of life and actually very little ecchi humor. As it's gone on though they've been ramping the sex jokes up more and more, and earning bonus worrying points for the majority of them involving children. Ditch Lucoa and Riku and the show would be much improved.
CthuluIsSpy wrote: Yeah, the Slice of Life anime this season appears to be falling flat. Both Dragon Maid and Gabriel are losing steam.
Sadly I am starting to concur. Had such high hopes after a lot of shows had a solid first two or three episodes, but as the season has gone on much of it has started to trail off and fall into familiar tropes or lazy plot devices.
Gabriel has become a let down.
I did enjoy the last episode of Kobayashi's dragon maid. The....
Spoiler:
Bento contest was fun and the the introduction of Elma, who come to find out is the paragon of order and Tohruis the paragon of chaos, I think was done well. Agree that the ecchi stuff featuring Lucoa is starting to venture over into the disturbing side. Still all and all I am still high on the show.

Ecchi aside, I did find the dream scenes in the latest episode humorous. Poor Shouta, he just wants a familiar, not a dragon goddess that's constantly invading his privacy :(

Somehow Monster Girls today turned into a physics lesson.
Monster Girls may have altered my very understanding of certain creatures. I'm not sure I can ever fight a vampire in D&D again (unless they're sparkling, Red Court, or trying to kill me.)

Its funny how Kazuma is always lamenting his bad luck, but actually I don't think its his. Remember when they originally got their adventurer cards that his luck stat was abnormally high, but Aqua's luck stat was abnormally low. So all the good stuff that happens is because of Kazuma, but all the bad stuff is because Aqua is blood in the water and the sharks are coming to feed! Good luck and bad luck don't cancel each other out, they simply happen concurrently!

It's also a case of Aqua being too stupid and lazy to do something about her aura, which she can hide, but doesn't. This explains why undead are drawn to her like moth to a candle.
Pity though that the season is already over, here's hoping season three happens soon.

Konosuba. They just finished season 2.
Nice lighthearted RPG comedy.
