The problem with modern Murata OPM is that it started huffing its own farts.
It's just become a regular, shlock shonen with a pissass story but very good art. It's no longer silly enough to be a comedy series and it doesn't have the writing chops to be a drama series. It's just ******* lame.

I just commented on the Death Battle thread that Kiryu Kazuma vs Peppino would be a surprisingly great match, reality is playing tricks on me again.

What a remarkably sagacious young man we have here! His intellect shines forth like a beacon amidst the fog of mediocrity, and his wit dances with the grace of a fine waltz. Indeed, one cannot help but be captivated by his erudition and charm. He embodies the very essence of youthful brilliance, leaving a trail of inspiration in his wake. A true paragon of promise, he is destined to leave an indelible mark upon the world!

In all seriousness though, that joke has multiple routes it could go and all of them are too spicy, I wouldn't recommend that joke again "Arr-See-Us".

I'm back. I finally got around to this, just about a month before the next one gets posted.
I watched Frieren. It started really strong and then got shockingly mediocre about halfway through, once the shine of its great premise wore off. I have a lot of nitpicks across the episodes, but the biggest one would easily be the incessant and obsessive need of the writers to jam in expository flashbacks in every single ******* scene, often for characters that are blatantly not terribly important.
Uninspired story beats, forgettable characters, and a penchant for stereotypes. It was a disappointing watch after it started off so good. If you asked me my feelings at the halfway mark, I would have said a flat 8/10, a very respectable and appreciable score. With the second half... I lean towards 6.75/10. It wasn't a miserable watch, it had enjoyable bits interspersed within the fields of not-fun moments, but it got old pretty fast, juxtaposed against Frieren herself.
Best moment in the whole thing was the dismissive "Aura. Kill yourself." bit.

I have not watched the Frieren anime in full, so I can't speak on the experience you may have had, but on the topic of the flashbacks, its of my personal opinion that they're rather necessary for the story and actually are quite entertaining.
The story is basically following Frieren after the end of her journey. All the actions she takes in her "journey beyond" are all influenced by her experiences in the past, and her experience with the Hero's Party. Basically, the past connects to the present— if you don't see her past experiences that influenced the present Frieren, you don't really get the full picture of how a simple 10-year journey had such a profound effect on a being with basically infinite time, who didn't think a single decade with humans who have the lifespan of a gnat in comparison to her could ever truly change her.
This is just me, of course, and everyone has their own tastes when it comes to how to handle flashbacks, exposition, etc. The flashbacks just personally enriched the experience for me, as a manga reader.

I would mind flashbacks less of they weren't so damned omnipresent. By the end it felt like half of every episode was a flashback to make up for the lack of clarity in whatever the **** was going on. Also seemed like many were straight up unnecessary, but there's no subtlety in the storytelling. Everything has to be explicitly laid out and often double or triple stated for some reason. Very frustrating.

Sakamoto Days. I personally haven't seen it yet, but I think it has a lot of potential, and the premise seems interesting. So I think you should check it out.

Steins Gate and Castlevania will wait for next year, then. Just glad that he didn't watch an anime that ruined his entire perspective on anime further.

Ummm...ok. A little rude.
Also you can't say I didn't warn you it'd be mid. See, I've never watched it but my bullshit meter was firing. So this year, my recommendation is Dragon Ball

For me Frieren was enjoyable. I didn't come looking for entertainment I came looking to chill. I liked the exposition because I generally like slow talkative anime. I came for the vibes and I got vibes. To me it's a 8.5 to 9/10 with my main issue being nobody ever reacting to pain properly.
