My Little Pony Friendship is Magic part 18: We Don't Need No Stinkin Hiatus

[Powerogue]

Just watched an episode of Kiff and was not expecting an existential crisis, with it breaking down the concept of thinking your life has peaked and it won't get better and feelings of giving up. Really surprisingly insightful moment in such a goofy show. It hits hard when in my life right now I don't feel like I'm really "getting anywhere" and just finished what certainly felt like the best show I will ever watch, The Owl House. But I had said that before with Avatar:TLA and MLP:FIM, and even after that there's still new things and happy moments to find even amidst the often maddening news coming out of the last few years.

Maybe it'll be better, maybe it'll be worse, maybe it'll just be different, but the show's not over until we're dead, so let's see where the future is headed.

That makes me remember how I constantly felt like I hit my peak just by being here. It's what happens when sometimes your low is so low that even a bit of "normal" can feel like a peak.

Call me crazy, but I'm looking into a comparison between MLP and RWBY. Seems like a recipe for success (in the sense they are waaaay bigger of a deal than they ever likely intended to be) they both went with is having their entire cast of main characters be composed of an entirely female cast with unique personalities. Honestly feel like, if I were to write my own series, that this would be the route to go with. Especially given how, most anime these days can't seem to resist adding the "obviously self-insert" male main character with the same exact freaking personality in every series. Anime in general suffers from having a template of like 5 different personalities to give female characters and it honestly gets old away a while. At the very least though, it seems to be a recipe for having a metric ton of porn produced about the series...

Just watched Uncle from Another World and it is so worth the watch. It's so incredibly clever to have, what is essentially, a reverse reverse isekai. So many good misunderstanding jokes that it keeps you entertained.

I haven't seen it yet (mostly because Netflix), but "Saving 80,000 Gold For My Retirement" has a bit of that. She has the power to go back and forth between her world and the fantasy world. There's also one this season whose name I forgot about a similar idea, guy gets powers in another world, comes back to the real world keeping them. I might be thinking of Dead Mount Death Play.

It's less "go back and forth" and more when the uncle got isekai'd by the truck he was in a coma for years before waking up, and once doing so he still has the magic he had in that world, and then reveals to his nephew what he went through. Seeing him being treated as an orc (as he's quite average looking, even ugly in some areas) the humor abounds thanks to that and more. Of course there's the usual anime trappings, but it's written in such a way that it elevates them rather than being eye rolling.

I'll have to look into the show you mentioned. I've been burning through a bunch of random series like Cagister of the Insect Cage, Drifting Dragons, Dragon Pilot, Evangelion (boy did the anime have a not ending), Revisions, Jojo's 6 (most of Jojo's is bad, #6 started promising, but ended the same as they all do; not good), Great Pretender (great show, and more so that it actually has a Freddy Mercury song as its ending), Super Crooks (good time), Children of Whales, Way of the House Husband, Shaman King (that new one is not great), Violet Evergarden (all of it is a slow, good time) and more.

That Freddy Mercury ending threw me off. Because I kiiinda recognized it, but wasn't sure. So my first thought was, did they get someone who can speak English to do the ending? Nano I love, and she speaks both languages and has songs in a bunch of anime. It's just not what you think of first. The only other time I can think of it happening was My Generation at the beginning of A Silent Voice.

I haven't watched the Violet Evergarden sequel movie, but I did watch the side story one, along with the series. But not having Netflix for some time with no chance of getting it soon means I kind of skip their anime. Though I did also watch Dragon Pilot a while ago. It sucks because Eden's Zero season 2 will becoming to Netflix soon. Dunno what anime they have anymore since you can't search if you're not subscribed (so stupid), but I think they have Haiykuu seasons 1 and 2.

It's an actual Freddy Mercury song, with the same name of the anime. Yes, they basically copied how it opens with cats, which is the animal Freddie loved the most.

Saw that, it was a strange song for what happens at the beginning of that movie.

I haven't watched the Violet Evergarden sequel movie,

It's a good time and a nice way to cap it off.

That annoys me the most, eventually we're gonna get a TV Guide just for streaming services.

If you have crunchyroll they are getting airing season 2 of edens zero now.

If you have crunchyroll they are getting airing season 2 of edens zero now.

I heard, but I wasn't sure about it since I didn't hear anything else after that. Plus, the dub could get screwed over due to unions and stuff. It's not unheard of, but Crunchyroll really doesn't like union dubs. The cast was great (and they got Tia Ballard back for Happy), so if I can guarantee to hear them again, great. But I'm not getting my hopes up.

I couldn't get into Edens Zero, the fact that so many character designs are straight copies from Fairy Tail (yes, I know it's the same creator of both) is something I couldn't get past.
