I review How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying by Django Wexler. Excellent western take on isekai, with a sarcastic heroine and a lot of gore.

One of my resolutions for 2024 was to get into a new hobby I can do at home, which doesn't include any electronics. Well, it seems like I officially entered my own villainess isekai arc.

I'm actually pretty happy with the result, considering it was my first try and I just looked up a variety of stitches and a pattern, but didn't look into how to incorporate them the best way possible.

@geraineon Thanks. There's still a lot to improve on, but I'll do my best 💪💪

I know, I know! I shouldn't expect too much from the genre, but I'm still baffled by the level of decline in story and animation with every new Shield Hero season.

On another note, I also started watching Bubblegum Crisis today. The first episode was a blast and the visuals were amazing. I'm also a sucker for the way anime women looked in the 80s/90s.

Regarding OVAs, the show is just checking boxes on an OVA bingo card, but I'm not sure if they were just copying or if they were the trendsetter :D

@To Such a great series. The music is top notch

Y’all it’s time for NASA & Dragons! :drgn_3c_evil:​

NASA made a TTRPG and not gonna lie it looks pretty good. A short 3-4 hour game but fun! Kind of a cross between sci-fi and fantasy. It could make for a good way to spice up your campaign or just vibe with friends on the weekend. Definitely needs more space worms.

海外のアニメファン層において「異世界にいく(転生する)」が「isekaied(イセカイド)」という言われ方をしてるのは知ってたけど(津波がそのままtsunamiと英語でも言われる例のあれ)異世界転生作品における「トラックに轢かれる」という状況おけるトラックの存在が「truck-kun(トラック君)」として受け入れられてるのを今日知って笑った

My CP's on is now getting homophobic review bombs--which was expected but still sucks. If you're interested in a fantastic story about an actor who dies and is reborn as a glass bottle of ink expected to do housework, who has to escape with an elf trapped in a clockwork toy before a void monster catches them, this story is for you!

Ok, back and forth are still relatively rare - ment with the charmingly ruthless Mitsuha is about the only other one I can remember. But has already amused me somewhat.

There’s also a high school girl showing up in the next door apartment to Sasaki which is, even in the first episode, showing disturbing signs of being a type side plot. Please, no, don’t go there.

The first episode took us thru so many genres and subplots, I'm not sure what was important. :ablobfoxhyperthinking:

I don't need much to get excited for new material of one of the best Isekai shows. I'm already aboard the hype train.

glitches save ... lesbians

clip from the Japanese dub of the Chinese show "Pause! Let Me Check The Walkthrough First" also called Kouryaku Wanted in Japanese, Tian Enya, a 3D blonde white girl with purple eyes in a white dress (the co-lead of the game and the society's chosen one, also isekaied from Earth) is fighting a demon woman in a tournament and realizes the demon woman (unable to kill her due to Enya's ability to respawn immediately after death) is trying to knock her out of the ring to win the match, she mocks the demon lady who knocks her so fast and far seemingly out of the ring before she suddenly appears in the ring. Protagonist Liu Yinuo (a white haired girl who on Earth was a 30 year old veteran gamer and office worker who was isekaied to the game world by accident by the moderator/god) watches on in a flashback as Enya pauses the game to figure out what to do, the NPCs and world around her is paused and she is stuck in midair, but Yinuo notes that once she unpauses, Enya will still fly out of the ring, curious as to how Enya will get out of it. Enya then clicks on the camera function of the game's UI and takes several selfies in set poses which changes her character model from flying out of the ring to standing on the ground again. Enya realizes that Yinuo is using a glitch like some games have where changing armor mid combat undoes a knockdown effect or removes debuffs. She then says "I smell a patch coming."

honestly tho this made me laugh out loud when i realized what she'd done before the explanation. this show is very underrated (it's a Chinese show that's gotten a Japanese dub this season) and has some of the best MMO isekai humour I've seen. the protag plays video games like I do. >_>

the 3D animation doesn't bug me, whenever they do Earth scenes, it's in 2D, the 3D makes it look accurately like a video game, and I know it's a built in canon excuse to use 3D animation, but it works for me (3D anime doesn't really bug me in general unless it's really bad like Rusted Armors or Ex-Arm and then it's funny)

there's also this gag which is the most realistic delivery sidequest depiction ever






Japanese dub clip from "Pause! Let Me Check The Walkthrough First!" or "Kouryaku Wanted" in Japanese showing a blonde haired 3D CGI girl (co-lead Tian Enya) seeing a little leaf person (an elf in this world, like a wood sprite) standing on a pedestal with an exclamation point over its head... she recognizes that this might be a quest, clicks on it and reads that she has to deliver the letter to another elf... she looks at her map to see where the quest marker is, then turns around, takes 1 step, and the camera pans to the other elf with a question mark over its head that she has to give the letter to and turn the quest in

- I wasn't as excited for an Isekai Anime in a long while as I am for The Wrong Way To Use Healing Magic. It's already one of my favorite Manga in the genre, and the animation also looks neat. Can't wait to watch this one.
