I can't believe its over already! Thursday in the day all my anime started this season so it's fitting to start my wrap up on this day. Warning this will be a full on discussion on the whole season so spoilers for sure. Again I wish that there was a way to cover up spoilers here like on Anilist.😓
Alright, here we go!😎
I knew this was going to be a good when I started this but i had no idea it was going to so good that i wish it was a 24 ep. I was the same way for Bakarina too! While the animation was not the best, I mean that red head looked like he had a toupee on half the time honestly, it was there when it counted and that was what Grace was on screen. You for sure knew she was the main character.😅
Was there a real story other than the fact that Grace was actually Kenzaburo, man that was the longest name I've ever encountered in any anime or manga, and his daughter is trying to finish the game he is stuck in to hopefully wake him up from his coma? No not really. if I was playing this game I think I would have dropped it honestly, especially since i don't like any of the male routes, but Grace and Anna carry this enough for me to want a second season oh and more of that ED too!😁
Oh my Goddess! That ending! I mean the whole season is easily is my fav out of all four now, but still going from being on the ship to get America, reinventing gambling, bar drinks, ect... AND finding out that Senku has a mentor that seriously wanted to kill him! Plus we got a some scenes with baby Senku and Taiju and Byakuya! I love that man so much! Senku survived getting shot by Stanley and now with Dr. Zeno as hostage they will have a cat and mouse chase to South America! I hate the season, but now I can't wait for summer for the second cour!😄
This anime has been an amazing ride for me and I really wish more people had watched it. Watching Gaku and Haru go from nothing to everything without breaking laws or doing underhanded schemes was amazing. Did they...well mostly Haru stretch the truth, absolutely but it was never to the point of hurting people or each other...well for real cause for sure there were moments of um...did Haru really do that? No he didn't...not really...well you get it. Again from the beginning we know that they made it but watching it happen still made the anime amazing and worth the two season watch! Plus we are green lit for a season 2!😎
Okay so was this the best anime? No. Was it the best isekai? No. So why did I watch it? Cause I have never seen a protag get so many cheeks from so many women! Even in the last episode he got with a maid and each encounter was consensual so I have no complaints! Do I want to see another season? Yeah I would cause there is a real plot here with the spices of this country being held by one big power and it keeps the nobles in check and the commoners with nothing. I believe that Kenichi could really solve that problem the right way.😆
I'm not sure how i felt about this anime honestly. I did enjoy the battle scenes and if it was not for watching this i would not have discovered Hanabie but other than that, I can't see this ever being a rewatch for me.😵
i actually enjoyed this fantasy a lot. Even though Ein is super OP because of the World Tree Spirits helping him he is genuinely a likeable character and has many good intentions including not needing to kill Zoid out of revenge for leaving him to die. That takes a lot considering what Ein went through. I hope this gets a second season at some point as well cause i would love to see Ein take Jasper as his husband.😄
Well that's it for this seasons Thursday line up! Hopefully next season is not as full on Thursday cause its a work day and D&D night and i hate waiting till after game to catch up on my anime! First world problems I know. Jaa ne!🤗
Last week was a rough week body pain wise and this week was not much better. On top of that the next few days are rough because today is my late husband's birthday, tomorrow is my father's and he has been gone for a long time but it can still be hard. It is also Pi Day too which is how my late husband helped me handle it but now he's gone so...you can see where i am going with this.😓
I digress though. I am trying to perk up a bit since i have my Hanabie/Kim Dracula concert on Sunday so let's just move forward with last weeks and this weeks ep of each anime on my list! Depression be damned!😤
Not going to lie, last weeks ep felt like filler other that the daughter almost convincing Dad that she was helping him. This week though...culture festival and gender swapped roles in a play? Yes Please! Also low key love Anna's mom!😅
have I mentioned how much i love Gen's eyes in this screen shot? Anyway, it's been a rough few episodes but thanks to Luna doing the right this, Senku is back in the game. Also Chrome is MVP for sure using his brain harder and more than ever before and how can I not mention our best boy himbo Taiju making friends with the enemy without even blinking!😂
Well we went to Vegas, gambled and lost, but did we really cause Gaku got a bit of a backbone after the trip and then he used it in this weeks ep on the golf course with our biggest backer! Haru had some crazy idea and it worked of course but then Dragon Bank comes along and...well we all know how that goes, but then again Haru always has a trick up his sleeve and he goes "All in."😎
I really thought that he was gonna bag another one this week after the countess put all her assets on display but between the other girls and Kenichi actually having some morals it didn't happen. Neither did the tiger lady yet, but I'm not ruling her out. That performance that Kenichi had to put on with the backhoe tossing around a log like it was a damn circus anime was too stupid to not laugh.😆
My head hurts from these last two ep. It's hard to not spoil this twist, but I did not see it coming at all! Renge was the biggest shock! 😵
Well i was right! This mini arc that we had for sure was damn close to what I predicted. It was solved pretty quickly but i am not bothered by it. I am just wondering what Lord Ein Rayshik is gonna do now with three wives and one husband?🤔
Sorry if I started this one a bit on the downside. I should be a bit better tomorrow plus it's Pi Day so I have that to look forward to!🤗🥧
We had a death in the family so I had to slow down for the last few days and take care of people and be there for them. I still watched my anime but I was just not in a the mood to share my opinions about it cause I was emotionally exhausted. Sorry I late for anyone that was waiting.😓
Oh so close to realizing that there is someone else helping him but I have faith in Dad. He'll get it...some day.😅
There are still marks on my chair from how hard I was gripping it towards the end of this episode. I mean I know of course the obvious outcome but still they did a damn good job of keeping us on the edge of our seats!😲
This episode just cements my love for Haru! He's such a bad ass! Also I felt Gaku at the beginning cause no matter how much money I have I will always look for the best deals that save me the most!😎
Well we bagged another one, but we kind of had her before so does it really count? Also we're gonna bag the tiger lady too cause of course we are.😆
I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! As soon as we found out what happened to Renge I knew that we would see Yuri again! Damn I'm good!😁
This episode was kind of a filler it seemed but that's alright cause it just means something is coming and with only four more ep left, we should be entering an interesting arc. 🤔
Out of work for another week cause i can hardly stand after my knee decided to say fuck you last Friday. I need to rest more than rest because of this so I apologize that my Thursday line up being a day late.😵
Just the usual happening this week. Nothing amazing other than what's always amazing and that for sure is our Grace!😎
Full circle this ep from ep one. It was so amazing to see what was happening in America at the same time in Japan. I know we are going to get a Tsukasa style showdown like in S2 just not needing a full season to pull it off. I mean we all know that Senku is gonna win so all bets are off on this one.🙄
This was a pretty powerful ep honestly. Gaku experiencing the pain of people wanting to be near you for what you have and what they perceive you are worth rather than for who you are and what you believe in. I've dealt with that a lot in life personally and I can tell you that is never feels good even if you try and fool yourself.😓
So I watched Winter 2025 Anime in a Nutshell by Gigguk and when he got to the isekai part as usual he was all jokes but I do love that with this anime he admits that our man gets some cheeks constantly and this weeks ep once again proved that.😆
Okay! Along with an amazing battle scene we got some great back story that honestly makes me slightly hopeful for the tragedy that happened ep 2 may not be the tragedy we think it was but we still have a few episodes to go to be fully sure. 🤔
Add another World Tree Spirit to the list! Also that demon that was sent to assassinate was pathetic on so many levels! 🤭
Thursday is my biggest anime watching day for the entire week this season! When I work, which I didn't today if you saw my blog yesterday, I usually need a nap afterwards and then I only have a few hours till dinner and D&D so it is really hard to make sure that I can get in all of the shows without waiting till after game when I am exhausted and have trouble concentrating or I am too hyped up from the session and...I have trouble concentrating...first world problems I know.😵
Anyway, here is my Thursday line up and these are in the order that I watch them too!😉
My number one new anime for this season just keeps getting better and better! Now that outside influences are involved it makes the story even more interesting! Also it is clear which route Anna is on but we won't tell Grace that.🤭
With Tsukasa and Senku we had brain vs brawn and now we have brain vs brain with Dr. Zeno and Dr. Taiju...? Nah I'm kidding but it is really funny that he thinks that is his nemisis when Taiju can't even spell nemesis and neither could i the first time so I'm just gonna leave it there.😆
This is another underrated anime continuing from last season that I feel everyone is sleeping on. At first I was taken back by the art style but now I am so invested in the characters that it isn't even a thought anymore. If you enjoyed Great Pretender, then you have to check this one out too!😎
Many are making fun of this one cause they think that its already been done with Campfire, but this has a different type of charm and kind of unexpected things are happening especially in this ep! People are also bothered by the fact that the beast race is both full beast and ones with human faces but if that is how the mangaka wrote the manga/novel who are we to judge them? They have an anime and we don't so yeah.🙄
Don't say anything. I always at least try to check out the new Go Hands anime each season and I am enjoying this one so shush. Plus the OP is amazing and my daughter and I are going to see them in concert in March!😎
I am isekai trash, but I don't have as many as i usually do this season so fantasy is just as good. I really resonate with Ein our protag cause he is shit on for most of his life for being an appraiser and before you attack and say that how is that a shit skill, if there are people that can just cast a 0 lvl spell to appraise anything than what good would having that as your only skill be and nothing else?😓
Also I don't think that he is too OP cause like Hajime in Arifueta Ein went through hell and nearly died to get what he has so he earned it all. His only cheat is that he has his MIL practically telling him what to do all the time which is not always the best idea and I am sure would get annoying if you think about it.🤔
So there you have it. My biggest anime watching day. Now I am off to finish dinner and *surprise* watch more anime...just not seasonal.😄
