Finished the 2nd Heaven Burns Red x Angel Beats event. That was great, felt really nice to finally read the conclusion to Hisako's character half a decade after I read the setup in 1st beat.

skimming through the kousai toshi trial scripts and seeing todo notes from 10/26 at 8:45pm (a sunday), haha...

Just remembered that World End Economica anime that got crowdfunded 6 years ago, I wonder if that is ever going to come out.

Never would have guessed back then that we'd have a Spice and Wolf anime remake before it.

110. Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26

He's the goat, every one of these were great. I love anthology anime, wish we got more of them.

109. Danmachi Movie (Rewatch)

Didn't remember a thing about this movie, maybe because nothing much happened in it. The climax was solid I suppose.

I do have a soft spot for non-canon anime original films, but this wasn't one of the best ones I've seen.

108. Danmachi S5

Thought they'd struggle to follow up the high of S4, but no, that was another amazing season. Middle of the arc especially was phenomenal, loved how psychological it got.

107. Danmachi S4

Absolute peak, very happy that JC Staff gave this 2 cours and the passion it deserved.

Easily the best arc so far, the tension and pure struggle in the second half was excellent.

it is also $60 on steam, alright...
October 29, 2025 at 3:20 PM
Also this is $60 on switch???

hope the steam release is cheaper

Having to search for "D.C. Retune" every time I want to look at the Da Capo Remake Steam page instead of just "Da Capo Retune" is very annoying, wish they titled it differently.

106. Danmachi S3 (Rewatch)

Back to as good as the first season, enjoyed them spending the whole time on a single arc.

105. Danmachi S2 (Rewatch)

As I remembered, not as good as the first season. Still solid on the whole, but the arcs are weaker, and it kneecaps the message of the 2nd arc right at the end.

104. Danmachi S1 (Rewatch)

This was actually one of the first few anime I ever watched, back in 2015 when I was in my SAO phase.

Half rewatching it for nostalgia, half because I never watched S4, which I hear is peak.

Solid first season, enjoyed the characters & fights.

Almost been a year since the new Utawarerumono game was announced, surprised Aquaplus still hasn't released the opening movie. They showed it in full at the Aquaplus 30th anniversary event, it wasn't a work in progress or anything.

Very excited for the sub-routes for the male side characters in anemoi.

It's extremely rare for Key to do them (only been in Clannad & Angel Beats 1st Beat), I feel like there's a lot they could do with them.

103. Harmonic Reflections

Great to be able to read this with a proper EN TL now.

It's fairly good, not Laplacian's strongest in any area, but it comes together well at the end. Would have liked an epilogue as it ends fairly abruptly. Also i dislike the AI-assisted BGs...

still got the kanji when you go to buy it though lol

Only a few days until Loopers Plus releases, feels like it's come up quite quickly since it got a date.

Though also it's somehow had a 2+ year dev cycle all to add maybe an hour or two of new content. Not sure how that worked out, maybe they put it on the back burner for ages.

15th anniversary event not just a concert
October 19, 2025 at 12:28 PM
Aquaplus announced a White Album 2 15th anniversary concert on 22nd Feb 2026, at the end of the concert rebroadcast that just finished.

Another place to cope for a Steam port announcement...

Thinking about 5 Five again, it's a shame it never got much love.

Released in 2008, never got a re-release in Japan, or even a digital release, and it's never had an EN fan-tl.

It's a great Winter utsuge that draws on Ainu mythology, helmed by Kai, who's worked on most Key VNs.

Visual Arts English twitter account still has Angel Beats 1st beat in its banner lol, I wonder if they'll ever change it.

102. Heaven Burns Red Chapter 5 Part 1

Finally catching up on HBR after falling a few months behind. Another great chapter, Maeda doesn't miss. I'd put it as my 2nd favourite chapter so far, behind 4.1
