So far 3 Light Novels are out in English with the 4th coming in April. For those wanting a great mature dark fantasy with a great story, this is great. Top-notch world building and great character writing.

I love the choice of VA's especially for Matthew. The staff and studio seem eh. I just hope at least they get the pacing right. Tbh this will be a tough adaptation, but I am excited to see it animated.

This episode adapted chapters 41-43. Despite covering a lot of ground, they adapted the chapters well. I think for the first episode of this arc they really gave a great episode to get anime onlies invested.

Really excited to see this whole arc animated after reading it a few months ago.

The new arc starting off with a bang to start. First Nene arrives in class and sees Hanako. Well, actually he is referred to as Amane Yugi and he is a live. Can't blame Nene for getting freaked out. Though the funniest part is when she realized she was bullying Amane. Though it was cute seeing Amane ask Nene out on a date. Though the world not being real isn't exactly a surprise. It feels like a tease like imagine this was a pure RomCom with Amane and Nene.

On Kou's side we see Sousuke Mitsuba is also alive. He is fully well the energetic character we know that he is. It must be comforting for both Kou and Nene that there is someone else around that is aware the world is just weird. Still Mtisuba let it slip out that the world isn't real too fast.

We get introduced to School Mystery #4. The fact that when she cut off Aoi and Akane and everyone reacted normally it really feels they are used to it. Much like a painter, we should see these two back. But man that is a lot to take in for both Nene and Kou. The ending of this episode really set the tone for this arc.

Solo Leveling is too good of a show right now. This season is going by quickly because it doesn't feel like we're half way through the season already.

Apothecary Diaries is very good and it's a show that rewards it's audience for paying attention. The show is written well in how they connect stuff from previous episodes. I feel that makes me pay more attention to details with that show because things can connect to future plotlines

Man Hyakkano really showing up as one of the adaptations of manga out there. It shows love even to series that aren't even romcom, harem or ecchi. Nods to TG, NGE, Dragon Ball and more. The love the staff put into the adaptation is on par with BTR. Which doesn't happen too often.

Right; I'm like didn't he face a unique scenario just a few minutes ago?
Well, this was the one he was originally planning on doing after he finished playing the Mecha game.

In the boss fight with Lycagon's shadow. He basically got that unique scenario because Rei got him lost. Which I liked in contrast to the Wethermond Unique Scenario because they went ham him prep. While in Lycagon's shadow, all of a sudden the opportunity came about.

Red Ranger Isekai Episode 6

I was really concerned with Yihdra running out before Red could finish talking to Shau'ha. Luckily, the misunderstanding was cleared because Red is truly inspired by Yihdra's dream. His point is tried to compromise. Yes, Shau'ha taking her father's spot will naturally make her not like Shau'ha. You have these two viewpoints. Yihdra believes everything should be able to have access to magic and Shau'ha thinks it should be more restricted. Ultimately, we have two viewpoints and neither are wrong. I doubt these two will ever be friends, but cooperation could be a big boost for both of them.

Honestly, Teltina's portion of the episode has me more concerned. More so with her older brother. His viewpoints just feels more corrupt using the mana seeds to conquer the world. Also, I wonder if the deceased brother was the one that was supposed to be next in line and the brother we see in this episode took his spot Or was he always in line for the throne? Regardless, you can see Teltina gets a lot of inspiration from the deceased brother considering how much she has matured.

Seems like we got some progress with Yihdra and Red. Though the relation of Mana and Kizuna Energy is interesting. Maybe in this world it becomes Mana perhaps?
This show these past 3 weeks has been getting more and more interesting.

Kiyoka finally got a day off on New Year's to spend with Miyo, and it got interrupted by the Gifted Communion, and it is getting worse. Regular people getting mixed into this makes it really troubling.

Miyo has another dream, and we see her mom and a younger Usui. Usui wants to be Sumi's sword, but Sumi proclaimed to be Usui's sheath. That has me curious regarding Sumi's actions. Her going to the Saimori Family could be her way to also protecting Usui. Though I doubt he would ever be open-minded to see things that way. There is a lot of Miyo's dream sight that Arata doesn't know and even adding the fact that she hasn't fully awakened to it.

Now who could be cooperating with Usui as everything with Kaoruko's father really lives with an uncomfortable feeling. Arata and his recent conversation with Usui can be seen as concerning, but he doesn't have the pull. We did see Takaihito's aid referring to him as prince, so he can be a suspect. So him being aligned to kidnap the emperor because of where his true loyalty is maybe?

"Can You Keep a Secret?" is the rare Adult cast RomCom where the characters actually act like adults and this series is geared toward them. Tho honestly surprised it got an anime before a live action.

Not really a fan of shows where the character is so op and nothing’s a challenge for him, that’s why I haven’t watched One Punch Man.

Seems like Solo Leveling’s like that, but I’ve already been watching it, so it’s whatever.

Might check OPM out to see how it compares.
Is anyone going to tell him? I'm not going to spoil it but you're missing out, these next few episodes and the next arc......:whew:
