I've seen Charlotte and that's basically it. Technically I've watched a bit of Baccano and Chihayafuru, but not enough for me to say that you should exclude me from the possibility of getting those.
Hosted The Year of Luigi competition (and here's the awards ceremony).
Current AAO projects (to be completed eventually, probably, hopefully): A Silly Little Dream (hopefully 2024), My Dearest Direst Disgrace (hopefully 2025)
Stuff I've made on here: QotU
Make My Life Worse
Malleus Maleficarum: The Witch of San Ignacio
The Six Transgender Lesbian Goddesses of Love Are Having A Petty Argument, So They Try To Settle Things Alongside The Three Transgender Gay Gods of Flavor
Defend Him, Not Me!
The Guardian and the Dreamer
I was a guest judge and did a bit of writing for the TICKING TIME BOMB competition.

The world is filled with painful things, it's sad sometimes, and you won't be able to handle it by yourself. But just know: If there's someone that you love, you'll stay on the right path. And you won't ever give in! As long as you keep that person in your heart, you'll keep getting back up. Understand? That's why a Hero never loses!"

Was about to say, there is literally ONE show out of this whole batch that I haven't seen. Slightly kills the suspense of it.

And so I have finished The Heroic Legend of Arslan. For now. Season 2 is coming July, after all, and I will certainly be watching! The show is far from perfect. It suffers from frequently bad animation between its horrendous CGI armies, a lot of blatant off model moments, constant stills, and more. Half the main cast doesn't do a ton and I'm kind of annoyed that there's barely any variety in their talents and weaponry (almost everyone is proficient with a bow and a sword, with one spear-wielder basically being the only one breaking the mold). Some things drag and some things are pretty obvious. But that all being said, I really liked this show in the long run. You'll tend to forgive the bad animation due to the story being legitimately interesting, being a retelling of a more classic story by the mangaka of this obscure little series called Fullmetal Alchemist. The character design is superb, enough to balance out the otherwise shoddy visuals. I liked everyone in the main cast regardless of their relevance, with the strategist Narsus, the bard Gieve, the black knight Daryun, and of course Arslan himself sticking out in particular. The show was broadcast dubbed by Funimation, and while I'd say it has the most issues of all the broadcast dubs I've seen, mostly in terms of a sort of weak start and some names changing pronunciation halfway through, the strong cast makes up for it in the end, with excellent performances from Aaron Dismuke, Ricco Fajardo, Christopher Bevins, Jad Saxton, Jerry Jewell, and of course freaking Vic Mignogna as the villain Silver Mask, and I'm a sucker for Vic acting sinister. The strategic nature of battles, the large-scale nature of stakes with a war, everything feels grand in this show. While better production values would have helped, the show gets by enough on strong writing that it doesn't hurt it as much as it would others. If you want something akin to Fire Emblem in anime form, this would be the first show I point you towards. The characters, setting, designs, strategic nature, and even tone feel akin to the recent entries in the franchise. So yes, though it could really use better animation going forward, Arslan gets a definite recommendation from me.

also kishward's beard is so distracting oh my god

I've mentioned this before, but since I didn't post about it on this thread... I finished mine. Haikyuu!! was pretty good. Starts off kind of okay, but keeps gradually getting better and I was into it.

Aww, crap. I literally forgot to watch this.

Seeing as I can't commit to this, I think I'll stay out of the next round.
