I thought the same! Though the outfit they ended up going with was great as well. A lot of visual media prefer to maintain consistent outfits though, for the sake of character silhouettes.

Yuru Camp and Non Non Biyori in the same season. That's a dangerous concentration of adorable slice-of-life shows.

Thank you for the warning, I encountered it while browsing the other day and the (deceptive) summary page described a show I would have been very interested to watch. However, I vaguely remembered your comment, and so started the episode and skipped ahead a bit, then immediately dropped it with no intentions to pick it up again.

"Healing magicians cannot fight alone." Keare, who was bound by this common knowledge, was exploited again and again by others. One day, he noticed what lay beyond healing magic, and was convinced that a healing magician was the strongest class. However, by the time he realized that potential, he was deprived of everything. Thus, he used healing magic on the world itself to go back four years, deciding to redo everything. This is a heroic tale of one healing magician who became the strongest by using knowledge from his past life and healing magic.

Whoa. Has long has it been since I've been back here?

Anyway, I've managed to finish the entirety of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime's first season, including OVAs, just in time for Season 2. I love every single moment of it, though I admit I've been watching it more for the SoL parts rather than anything else. Can't wait for the SoL spinoff on spring!

I've been catching up on Log Horizon too, and I'm halfway finished on Season 1. Hopefully Season 1's goodness will be enough to help me slog through the crap that is Season 2, though...

Probably having something to do with not knowing japanese enough so learning phrases in romaji then just remembering titles in romaji. It's not that hard really.

Well, in my case, I just prefer the Japanese titles to the English ones. Also, since I am admittedly a patron of the "yo-ho!" method of watching anime, shows tend to get released with Japanese titles instead of English.

I rewatched the entirety of Mobile Suit Gundam: Unicorn recently, and also watched the film Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade for the first time; it's an awesome blend of amazing firearm animations and a seriously brutal narrative.

Chartreuse is my favorite color.

I know that it doesn't make sense given original CaW was/is already highly stylized take on human body functions, but there's something about CaW:B that makes it feels even more animey if that makes sense. But I guess it's due to nature of events it tries to depict or something. lol

It's great in general, but that last episode really left much to be desired, IMO. Are you up to speed?

I was thinking the same thing. Most of the enjoyment from that side so far has been in building anticipation for when the two story halves meet, but from what I understand, that is a long, long way off - not in this season, unless they really cram the story.

I watched bits of Magical Canan. The TV series. With a C. Not a K.

Where does the "corrupting seeds/jewels from magical kingdom land on Earth" schtick come from? It happens a lot in magical girl shows (Magica Madoka, Lyrical Nanoha, etc.).
