What I Watched This Week – 1/21 – 1/27

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill – When the nominations were announced for the r/anime awards, I had only seen one out of the eight nominations in the slice of life category: Skip and Loafer. I’ve since watched Onimai, and tried to watch Masterful Cat, so this makes three completed. It had a steep uphill climb for me, as one of the things that annoys me the most about modern isekai is the tiresome obsession with Japanese food, and this is an isekai centered around a man sent to another world and given the magical ability to order food from a Japanese online grocery. I just can’t get past the arrogance required to imagine that the Japanese equivalent of Little Debbie and Hormel would be so mind-blowingly delicious to alternate dimension beings that a monster strong enough to solo a dragon for funsies would make himself your servant. The adventure part of the story was entertaining (and it is an adventure story, I have no idea why this is in slice of life, but it’s hardly the only title that doesn’t belong here) and I liked the characters enough to plan to watch the sequel. The cooking part of the story, though, where he just drowns everything in name-brand sauces, doesn’t really do it for me. 6/10

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Season 2 – For years people have talked up this particular season of the series as some kind of marvel, but I ended up liking it less than I did season one. Centered on Team Spica members Toukai Teiou and Mejiro McQueen, this season deals heavily with getting injured, rehabbing from injury, and attempting to make a comeback after time away, and I did not like how they handled it. Sports anime in general has a fairly unhealthy tendency to romanticize overtraining as evidence of a strong work ethic and dedication to a sport or team, and that was on display here as well, with multiple frustrating montages of horse girls overworking themselves and neglecting rest. Additionally, when recurring injury or more chronic conditions leads some of the characters to consider retirement, it’s labeled as “quitting” or “giving up”, and they’re pressured by the people around them, who make emotional pleas for them to continue racing. The total disregard for athletes’ well being was really frustrating. I still find the idol performance segments a little insulting to both women athletes, whose sports performance should be entertainment enough, and idols, whose efforts and talent should not be belittled by the suggestion that anyone can do it. It wasn’t a chore to sit through, despite all my complaints, but it was less fun than the previous season. 6/10

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby – Road to the Top – The only reason I started watching this series was to watch this particular entry, which was nominated by the r/anime jury for Anime of the Year. To its credit, it’s fairly different than the first two entries. It’s only four episodes long, it focuses on three racers not on Team Spica, and it’s a serious step up visually. I thought the color palette for seasons one and two was kind of oversaturated, whereas this series had a more sophisticated look to it. The animation was never bad in the series, but it was straight up good here, with lots of movement and fun distortions. I was pretty neutral on the series cast up to this point, with the exception of Team Spica’s Gold Ship, whom I adore, and this series added one more to the adore column, with the introduction of T.M. Opera O, who was fantastically overdramatic in everything she did. I liked that the story was more than girls professing to each other to be the fastest or promising to race each other, and that two of the three main characters got extensive backstories. There was a still a frustrating amount of overtraining, and those damned idol performances still exist, but this was easily the best entry in the series, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. 7/10

Tsurune S2 – In all my bellyaching about the AOTY nominations this year, I’ve mentioned Tsurune as one of the shows I wished got nominated, so I figured I should rewatch it to make sure it was as good as I remembered it being. It was. The production is just solid all around; the soundtrack, the sound design, the animation, the cinematography, and the art are all excellent. It manages the large cast incredibly well, giving all three teams the right amount of depth and backstory to lend the archery matches emotional stakes. The fight between the two cousins on the main team in episode five might be the best single episode from last year with how it perfectly captured the way only a very close friend can push your buttons before resolving it with a pitched battle that ends in a fit of the giggles. How this got left off the shortlist in favor of Road to the Top or basically anything else just mystifies me. 9/10

So can we all agree that Uma Musume S2 was infinitely better than S1 or is that too much of a Hot Take™

#i just rly love the direction the show took during its second season #while S1 was Generic Moe Anime w a few sentimentality and tension here and there #S2 was torture after torture and i kinda loved it #getting to see the girls (and by girls i mean mostly Teiou💔) move forward even after all the hardships they endured was like #Much More Inspiring than any of the stuff they pulled during S1 #it just had too many plot conveniences to take its 'do ur best and never give up no matter what!♡' message seriously imo #and while yeah S2 still carries some of S1's flaws it also got better in many other aspects #and i rly appreciate that!☆ #b-but again this is all just my personal opinion! 👉👈💦 #kinda embarrassing how i have so many thoughts abt a silly horsegirl anime HSJFJSJF ✌😔 #uma musume #uma musume pretty derby #wondertext

Remnant’s Winter 2021 Watchlist

After watching (almost) every premiere, I’ve finally settled on what I will (try to) watch this season. Just a heads up, I’m skipping AoT and Log Horizon Season 3 since I’m so behind on both I would need to play catch up. I’m also skipping Redo of Healer for obvious reasons. Here’s my breakdown.

Watching:

Jujutsu Kaisen 

Mushoku Tensei

Horimiya

Back Arrow

Suppose a Kid From the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town

Cells at Work S2

Cells at Work Code:Black

Quintessential Quintuplets S2

Wonder Egg Priority 

Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki-kun

Kemono Jihen

Otherside Picnic

Heaven’s Design Team

Laid Back Camp S2

So I’m A Spider, So What?

Non Non Biyori Nonstop

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby S2

Three Episode Rule:

The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

Hortensia Saga

So my watchlist bumped up from 11 last season to 17 this season. Matthew McConaughey would be proud. Busiest day seems to be Thursday with five shows. JJK is still hanging on from last season. 

As for my “Three Episode Rule” list, its pretty self explanatory. It’s for shows I’m giving three episodes to fully grab me. 

To be honest, I’m thinking of dropping HIdden Dungeon right now. The first episode was mid and the second didn’t really help to change that opinion, but I’ll give it one more shot to turn things around. 

Hortensia Saga’s first episode was ok, but I want to give it a bit more time before I decide if I’m gonna add it to the watch pile.
