Well, we don’t normally do this, but considering that now we have 5 active writers for the site, I think it’s fair to make a formal post about who covering what for the new season. This should be a normal practice from now on and traditionally (because traditions have to start somewhere), this post will come after our last “First Impressions” post. Without further ado, here’s our schedule for the 2017 Fall season:
AidanAK47: Kino no Tabi, Dies Irae, Fate/Apocrypha (carry-over)
Mario: Houseki no Kuni, Girls’ Last Tour, Juuni Taisen
Lenlo: Mahoutsukai no Yome, Inuyashiki, (Shokugeki no Souma 3) (note: Lenlo might do a bi-weekly post on Souma. Or not)
Wooper: 3-gatsu no Lion 2, Ballroom e Youkoso (carry-over), Space Battleship Yamato 2202 (OVA)
Helghast Killzone: TBA
We’re all delighted with our choices here. The only show that I regret to not blogging is Children of the Whales, but that further demonstrate how this Fall season is an embarrassment of riches. Another note is that Wooper will take over my coverage of 3-gatsu, consider he’s even a bigger fan of the series than mine. Not that I think you guys will miss my 3-gatsu coverage that much but rest assured that the show will be in good hands coming forward. As for me, I am working on a project right now so make sure to check back in few weeks. I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.
Here’s hoping for a new great season of anime. Thank you, folks.
Glad to see Yamato being covered. The ova has been a delight so far and it certainly needs more love
Didn’t watch the first kino no tabi. Have a bunch of questions. Especially part 2. Is it a reference to a season 1 episode?
The first Kino was awesome. Episode 2 of the newer version remakes a story that was also in the older version (episodes 6 and 7)
Was it as sad as this? So basically the carriage couple widow tricked Kino to the country which killed her husband? Kino wound up angry with both the country and the widow? Did the widow know Kino would be strong enough to avenge her husband or did she just send Kino (and possibly others) there to die? There’s just not enough context here.
The first episode was also kind of disturbing. Justice was sort of done in the end in that case cos that blondie was too much of an easy villain but I don’t know about sending that other guy there. In a way, it really is a country of killers because everybody must be willing and able to kill and it’s kind of a question mark how they’d deal with much less cut and dry cases.
I will chime in to discuss about Kino’s Journey in details with you once Aidan post his weekly review on Kino. I’ve watched the two versions and I feel this one neither better or worse than the original. It’s another interpretation of the same story.
I cannot make any promises, but I will try to do a end of the series review for Altair, in December when it ends. I will also make a stab at a general review of the Gundam Origin OVA series and of Iron Blooded Orphans. But again no promises. However I am more committed to reviewing Altair than the other two and believe I can make it happen.
