Really interesting first episode. They literally spent the whole episode building shit up before he even got isekai'ed where none of it basically didn't matter... But it was fucking dope as shit. Lol. I'm looking forward to how this turns out. The order is kind of out of sorts showing the full complement of chicks but I hope they start from the beginning and build all of it up properly. We've got 20 episodes so hopefully this rocks out. Already looking pretty good.
Fantastic episode but it seemed so short. Uggggggggh. Having to wait a week for the conclusion and to hear Eiko's full version of DREAMER is going to be such a pain D:
Oh damn. I just finished binge watching the entire first cour after stopping at Episode 2 and letting things build up. Jesus H. Christ. This was an amazing adaptation. I honestly didn't mind the pacing, and thought that the studio did a great job with it, especially with things that required a big exposition in the books. The studio was able to interject little explanations that gave us just enough info rather than the big info dump. Some of the slower parts of the books, the studio sped through which I thought was a good decision. The next set of volumes are much more interesting than the third for sure (which covered the beginning of the Demon continent).
And Eris is still my favorite. She's a little rough in the beginning, but she grows and gets so much better as we continue on. I loved the background music for her in the earlier episodes which had a "horror movie" sound to them. LOL. I absolutely can't wait for the second cour to hit.
Another BIG issue that I've encountered is that I now want to re-read (or is it re-re-re-re-re-re-re-read at this point?) the novels again. I just finished doing a re-read like 7ish months ago, but I want to go back AGAIN. LOL :D
This show is kind of a grind when it only focuses on Kumoko and no one else. She's literally the only character there and the entire show becomes her monologuing about RPG elements/skills and shit. They really need to get to some of the better parts of the story or I may get bored out of my mind...
Oh dang. This is actually becoming better. I liked the setup and action in this episode, and I'm glad they didn't play around with Marie's identity for a long time (other than for the great jokes :D ). The last sequence was pretty solid as well with some nice "surprises".
I now must resist reading the Light Novel and just wait for this to air. Must... resist...
Great adaptation of the ending. The feels hit me hard in the finale just like it did when I read the novel. I REALLY REALLY hope that they continue to adapt the rest of the novels with the adventures in Exfolia by giving us a second season. I've read part of the continuing web novel and enjoyed it a decent amount. It goes in a slightly different direction, so there's some decent comedy with that as well.
Bow chick a bow wow...
Oh man... This episode had some AMAZING moments between Rista and Seiya especially the entire "flying" sequence (gotta make a gif of the last part). This is one of the few anime adaptations that I've seen where I think the anime actually really improves significantly on the light novel/manga sources.
On the other hand, this was the first episode where I thought things were a little bit rushed. However, this is only from the point-of-view where I already know what extra little details and dialogue were added in the light novel. The stuff that they skipped over really isn't that relevant or important to the characters, and being able to get through all this stuff faster in order to get to the honestly good stuff later on is more important. So, while it was a bit rushed in a sense, nothing of importance was really lost.
I'm really looking forward to the next arc. It's gonna be LIT.
Damn. Miyabi is such a b*tch. She is as cold and dirty as it gets...
She deserves a painful end.
I love this show. Sooooooo good. I've already read all of the available manga and knew what to expect, but this adaptation has been perfect thus far. Narumi's reactions, faces, emotions, and little blurbs ("Messiah", "danna") are just amazing. I love her more than just the regular super-cheerful MC girls. And the Naru-Hirotaka pair work so well because Koyanagi-Kabakura are just a great couple foil for them as well. We're going to start finally getting a lot more Hana-Tarou moments coming up which will be amazing as well.
As for Naru's faces this episode, I don't know which one was my favorite. They were ALL so good, especially the ones involved with Comiket.

ERINA-SENSEI!!!!! We need more, please!!
Dang. Good thing that I waited to watch this. Episode 1 was filler/recap crap. Episode 2 was a little better, but it still felt like it had recap elements to it (always showing everyone's quirk name, etc). At least things should be getting good in the next episode with the League of Villains finally doing some work.
I'm definitely interested to see how far this third season will get with 25 episodes. I don't think that we'll be able to get to it in this 3rd season, but I am absolutely looking forward to the "Eri" arc being animated. That's gonna be completely boss.
Wow. Off to a great start with the first episode of Persona 5 The Animation. I'm not sure if the story/flow of the newest game just lends itself better to being animated, but this anime adaptation is really smooth so far. The animation looks good and things don't just seem "like a game" so far. I'm really liking what A-1 is doing with the anime so far. Really excited for some awesome Phantom Thieves moments and for some of my favorite girls to enter (we saw a lot of little cameos thus far).
Oh my god. Greatest 2-episode Gintama arc of ALL-TIME. Gintoki has got some baaaaaaaad man moves. This was everything that I could have ever wished for and more. That troll face at the end was just pure magic (in addition to the Hasegawa "special").

Double episode release. Doesn't get any better than that. The second I read the synopsis for this, I had to watch it. Loved the first 2 episodes so far. OP is also absolutely rocking as well.
Nephy is literal diabetes! So sweet and precious. Best girl and no competition even required.
We'll see if this show become like a harem with those other girls, but I would probably prefer it to be straight up as it's pretty wholesome so far (minus the people getting killed :D). We'll see how long the comedy and shtick will work, but it's pretty damn good so far. I need mo...
I just want to make an emphatic statement:
Natsuki >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Miyako
Sayonara, Yamauchi. You worthless loser. Beautiful scene getting his ass kicked out of class. The extra icing on the cake was Manabe joining him on the way out :laughing:
Nice little ending. They played it safe. Wish that the anime showed more of the "night time" activities like in the manga and light novel especially since it's mostly played off as jokes. I got addicted to the series and read the manga and a good amount of the web novel, so I'd love to see a second season. The expansions with the Villages (and more) really do add new elements into the fray and having the kids around and new characters would be a plus. Getting to all the festivals and everything would be awesome as well. Mostly, I want more Hakuren since she my fave waifu!! Anyway for now, I'll keep reading and just hope a second season comes around.
A bit of a slow burner of an episode here. Mostly seeing MC flashbacking to his cringe actions and misinterpreting all of Chizuru's signals. Seeing Chizuru at the batting cages was mint though. However, next episode looks like it's going to be a riot with Chizuru having "lost her key" and Mami coming over for a "surprise visit"
Great job on this latest episode. I really liked how they gave a lot of time to flesh out Nanami's background and story this entire episode rather than just spending a couple minutes on it in a quick flashback. It really helped you connect with and feel for her character a lot more along with making Eiko's "eureka" moment more impactful. I'm looking forward to how this season ends for sure now.
It's a "happy" ending for sure, but it seemed a bit lazy that everything that was supposed to happen in the last episode (and before) was essentially retconned in the end. Kind of made the ending feel a little cheap, even though it was still nice. Just my 2 cents.
Greatest end scene image of the series thus far. No competition. LOL.

Not sure what to think about this show. Honestly, most of the parts with just Kumoko are pretty damn boring since it's just her and her monologues about skills. Then when we focus on the other reincarnated humans, we don't really care about them because we were given absolutely no back story or development for them and just thrown into a boring story involving them.
I guess the humans are a bit more interesting but even that's a stretch. And Natsume/Hugo is just a joke. Try to at least make him somewhat realistic and not a complete worthless moron. This episode just showed how much he sucks even more.
I honestly don't know why I keep watching. Maybe hoping for something good to happen...
Not gonna lie. That's only of the most "action-packed" reunions that I've seen for a reality tv show. There were some legit fireworks and MAD drama during this one.
For once, I actually don't think that Angelina really started that much drama. FOR ONCE. This shit was just brewing since day 1 and just exploded in that epic fight.
Best. Shounen. Battle. Ever.
Facts.
This was a good season EXCEPT for that horrific anime original ending. Basically puts a nail in the coffin for a possible 3rd season. At least the manga is still going well and is heading to the final endgame as well. Especially from reading the latest chapter (141), it looks like Uruka will probably be the "winner" in the end like in the anime's ending...
Love the humor and adaptation of this episode as well. LOVED the "slapping" scene with Rosalie. I was waiting for that one. The only thing that disappointed me this episode was the definite drop in animation quality, especially when looking at the characters' faces from further away. Honestly, this seems like a production issue due to a packed schedule and lack of resources (hence the one week that they delayed a previous episode). I hope it gets cleaned up in the BD release because the direction, voice work and other parts of the adaptation have been on point.
Nice...
The return of Mafuyu-sensei in full force, and some solid chapters animated right there with some nice little additions. I can't wait for Miharu to make her appearance soon :drool:
On a sadder note, it looks like they probably skipped the beach chapters with Ashumi and Sensei since they showed a tiny little montage of Ashumi last episode. RIP in missing Sensei in a school girl swimsuit...
Edit: Nm. Those chapters are being animated in the upcoming OVA released this winter!
Sick. This anime adaptation is really really well done. I love the improvements made on the light/web novel and manga. It's adding a lot of personality to the original dialog and nice little meme-worthy moments. Can't wait for more!
Also, I think that the anime adaptation can get to a pretty good point in the source material where we actually hit like some really good plot twists and character development with some real serious stuff. Hopefully it all turns out good!
