Basically one of those guy gets transported to fantasy world shows, but it isn't all rainbows and sunshine. Guy has the unique ability of 'respawning' if you will whenever he's killed and the world seems to choose those checkpoints after certain conditions/events are met. The world isn't a game like some of the other shows nor is it ever fully explained how that whole thing works, but needless to say there's times where he gets brutally murdered many times in an effort to 'fix' situations and it kinda starts to take a toll on his mental state. I'd definitely recommend watching it.

haha, good stuff. And yeah, Re: Zero was a pretty awesome series. You'll get to ren=best girl at some point, because people like how she confesses to him.

I really enjoyed the show. The main character fucks EVERYTHING up. He just can't help himself. But it's a damn fun watch.

Also the end of episode 15 is a mindfuck and beautifully animated

Holy shit, I haven't watched American cartoons since the 90s, gargoyles, Batman, the good shit. I got a neighbor's house and their kid is watching the new duck tales. Wow that shit is like garbage 1999 worse than flash animation, with even worse voice actors!!! And this is a series with Disney money behind it. How good are the parental controls in crunchy roll? I don't want the 8 year old watching re: zero.

I know this was posted a while back from what I hear the reason most American animation is trash is because all the "studios" use an application called Harmony which is essentially a supped up flash clone just for animation. This is why all American animation looks so similar these days. It's pretty awful but the old ducktales was all hand drawn and I don't think most US studios want to dish out money for that kind of animation anymore. I feel sorry for kids who grew up post 80's since western animation has declined so much.

Then some of the early 2000's went with computer animation. Shit like Reboot.

Yo, the shit gets fuckin' grim dark later on. I read the manga up the latest chapter and was like whoa wtf? Makes me wonder if they are supposed to be teens instead of elementary school kids. Not sure how they are going to pull off the crazy shit on TV.

Regarding Made in Abyss, you're not kidding. Episode 10 went dark fairly quick. Damn, this is a ruthless show. Little girl got fucked up bad.

Last episode for Made in Abyss is going to be an hour long too, should hopefully end on a high note(well, high note for this show heh).

Where are you watching that? Didn't see it on Crunchy. Guess I have to go to the usual places.

BECAUSE.MOE - anime streaming search engine - Good place to search for where you can legally watch anime.

Spoiler - Made in Abyss is on Amazon Strike, which iirc is a double paywall (you need Prime or Video first, then Strike)

I found it on Horriblesubs.

Anyway, Boku no Hero Academia was decent this week. It's nice seeing the "cute Asian girl" actually do something other than act as eye candy for the other characters.

Next up, Re: Creators was great. An episode full of feels. I really enjoyed the direction this episode took. No complaints at all there.

Finally, Ballroom. It was another decent show, but not as good as last week. They're setting the stage for the team everyone likes to loose the competition in favor of the hot girl and douche Ichigo. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to next week. Of the 3 saturday shows that I watch, this was 3rd. Re: Creators was 1st, and Boku was 2nd.
