Summer Season 2024

[DarthEnderX]

Well, tbf, Lodoss is mostly (entirely?) "western" fantasy, elves included.

Up until Lodoss War. Elves in things like D&D were just depicted as having, like, Vulcan ears. And Dark Elves usually had, like, jet black or dark blue skin.

Lodoss popularized giving anime Elves those big, horizontal rabbit ears that they always have. And popularized anime Dark Elves as being Elves with a tan with Pirotess.

Berserk? 1997 version is reasonably close to perfect as far as dark fantasy/historical series go, but the series as a whole never quite hits the same high as the Golden Age arc ever again, but since we're only looking at the anime versions, we can set that aside.

God DAMN it. I just...I just want, like, Berserk Brotherhood, done by the same people that are currently doing Vinland Saga.

I don't care how long it takes. Just...adapt everything Miura ever wrote.

Shika no Ko nokonoko koshitantan episode 1:

Yeah, not sure I'll keep watching this. Opening is catchy and it was somewhat funny. But the complete lack of explanations for why the whole class and teachers are accepting of all the weird shit made it feel TOO random. Even Family Guy is more coherent. Will give it at least one more episode.

So

"Wistoria's Wand and Sword" seems to have an insane budget.
The animation was really pretty. Unless that budget is now all gone, of course.

Monster looked very plain and boring, but all the other things did not.
People walking, shadows, spells, movements. Pretty high class.

Fun shounen story as well.
Loser is bad at magic but a superb swordsman.
Will overtake the world of mages with his sheer strength to see his childhood love who is some super mage on top of some tower

I'll keep watching and hope it remains interesting and strong.


Never heard of this manga/show/novel/whatever-it-is before though
