Spring 2024

A new one and a not so new show to spend the time


The Ancient Magus' Bride Season 2 (魔法使いの嫁 SEASON2)

"A young girl learns that she's worth the love of their new family and peers she gained in the first season, the hardest way possible, also magic."

With the first season being very memorable but not being able to shake the creepy vibes of this ancient non-human entity with 0 emotional maturity trying to groom this young girl who wanted to end herself is hard task for me.

But it's not relevant, Chise is going to school because she personally wants to find answers to both their condition, and also to break away from this train of thought of her, of sacrificing herself on every turn of the story. By meeting other people who have their own goals, dreams and experienced hardship and yet they haven't end their lives to fix up things, that's the name of the game for Chise.

Elias, who is more and more open of communicating their emotions to their close ones and Chise, has met with positive reaction of them, but he still keeps their desires under a cloak, and so they're still ways from handling things like humans with emotions do, overall, he is trying.

The school context is not stereotypically obnoxious, can't help but mention it has some of the subplots resembling the cursed series of books from this soulless prick of a terf at times, but it's way WAY better in their worldbuilding, their effort to include folklore of different cultures in respectful way it's way more refreshing and compelling.

Now there's more drama in the subplots of the inhabitants of the school, most of them are inter-connected and probably also connected to the big mysterious baddie that means this school arc, sadly the season ends in cliffhanger, again, should I just read the manga and get down with it.


Delicious in Dungeon (ダンジョン飯)

These D&D homebrew campaigns are getting weirder and funnier bro

A bunch of weirdos endure the trials of eating monsters they find while trying to get to their healer's corpse in the depths of a dungeon after they got wiped out by a Dragon in the last visit.

I have no much to say about this show, it's fun, binge read the manga in one night and I'm just look forward to watch the episodes cover some of fun shenanigans I saw on the source material, I enjoy the quality and animation of studio Trigger on it, has that trigger animation charm, watch it if you can.
