It seems like it is going to be another year of mostly boring anime. I guess there is Ascendance of a Bookworm S3, which... might be interesting if it focuses on Ferdinand using Mainz as a pawn in his grab for power. There is also the new Sunrise mecha show, Kyoukai Senki/AMAIM, but so far it's been slow and nothing interesting has happened yet.


I have been catching up on some manga: Otoyomegatari and Gunka no Baltzar. Fun characters and great art.

Otoyomegatari is about the lives of steppe nomads in Kazaksthan/Mongolia during the late 19th century, around the time of the Crimean War. Comfy. Also, the main character gets married in the first chapter, which is interesting.

Gunka no Baltzar is a military manga set in an alternate fantasy world that resembles late 19th century Europe. The main protag is a major in not-Prussia who is working for not-Bismarck to unify the not-German states. There are also informative pages at the end of chapters that describe what a German soldier's food was like and what stuff they carried, etc.

Unfortunately, both manga progress at a snail's pace, with 20 pages every 2 months. For Baltzar, we spent like... 5 years in the Basselland civil war arc and we are just now entering the Weissen civil war arc, which at this rate is going to take at least like 3-4 years to resolve. For Otoyomegatari, the manga has just turned into Hidalgo (horse race), which is fun.

No; it's just that the angle we're seeing them from in that artwork, as well as her holding a controller in front of them, obfuscates a bit how ridiculously huge her tits are. If you compare the length of the curvature of her breasts from their base in both pictures, they're about the same size.

I only saw manga,but still like it.Pure love,i wait for next manga about their kids.
Gunka no Balthazar mentioned by @Val the Moofia Boss - there is crossdressing girl there,but she has no tits to show.Well,she would not play as not-hussarl if she have.Still nice looking,but too cildblooded for me.

Overlord season 4 this summer.


I personally lost interest in Overlord after the first season, when I made the mistake of hunting down a translation of the light novel. I had assumed that the story would be about the main character leading his evil minions to do the right things for the wrong reasons; but after it turned out to just be a villain-protagonist jaunt, I stopped caring what happens to those one-note psychopaths.

Well,main problem is which girl he would pick.Or maybe all? which is better,flat or boobs? It is anime,remember.

^The above is why streaming is a shit thing. It's the always-online software push-update problem in other areas of life all over again in media/anime--at any point the terms of the service can be changed to whatever the provider wants and the consumer is just kind of stuck.
Of course, the physical-media market for anime in the US is...kind of a shitshow too. But I'm given to understand that's true in Japan as well. So...*shrug*

Course, I'm a hypocrite on my 'streaming is shit you shouldn't bother with!' horse since I've used RetroCrush a good bit the last few weeks (the Ghost Stories dub is not really worth buying I don't think...but it's an amusing watch).

Tried a random show on a streaming site on a bit of a lark. I have mentioned in the past and will stand by the claim that I've yet to see a show I disliked where the intro/credits sequence is abstract imagery and moving silhouettes---good James Bond movies do it, in anime Dirty Pair does it...I'm sure others but those are the prime examples on the top of my head--so this one looked promising right out the gate because it has the same sorta style in the opening.


And it didn't disappoint. A very quick heist sequence followed by a getaway sequence where the three protagonists rollerskate away from the cops served as the introduction. And now I'm invested into Cat's Eye, a mid-80s anime about a trio of cat-burglar sisters who go by the moniker 'Cat's Eye', one of whom is in a relationship with the detective charged with catching them..And they daylight as the owners of a little cafe called Cat's Eye. I'm a whole three episodes in because I was thoroughly amused at the concept, and it's just...very amusing, 80s crime-drama nonsense. Charlie's Angels transposed to Japanese and turned upside-down to be criminals.

Vague hints of a purpose to the thievery being involved with the trio's father I'm curious of, but honestly the curious nostalgia and...trope-spotting?...is entertaining to me. There's already been laser-security grid avoided by acrobatics, an always-irate police chief, the previously-mentioned rollerblading getaway...It's just a fun nostalgia trip, and I'm already partial to cell-shaded old animation anyways, so...I've found a new show to watch.

My curiosity was only fueled at the end of the first episode when the credits...really fuel the time-capsule feeling or something...by combining the moving-silhouttes abstract-imagery stuff with an AEROBICS EXERCISE sequence.
