Maou 2099 - Episode 1:
If they keep this serious tone, i might have found another great show for this season. I thought this was going to be more comedy like other anime where a demon lord finds himself in the modern world, but this first episode felt like there's actually gonna be a real plot.
One thing I will always hate about Japanese authors and their "demon lords", however, is how once again we're supposed to empathize with the demon lord. Literally THE most evil being. At least that's what a lord of demons would be typically. In anime, however, it really only means that he's an opponent, a leader of an opposing faction and killing is the worst he'll do. When I think of demon lords, I think of the stuff that happens in, say, BERSERK. But modern anime-demon lords would never do truly evil stuff. And that sucks. Give me true evil when you call yourself "demon lord". Oh well. That's a general complaint I have for many anime featuring "demon lords".
Looking forward to episode 2.

I'm with Mfauli on this one. I want my sexy girls in anime and games. However, I don't think so because I want the original intact or to see a more immersive world. I just like looking at it.
Peace.
Yeah...Raise wa Tanin ga Ii is really, really good.
Nice to have a male lead with actual blood on his hands (during the episodes) instead of just being misunderstood or getting into fights for a noble reason.
Yoshino is great in her own right too. She's funny, likeable, smart, and prefers to dress classy while going out. She gets herself into and out of messes quite nicely. No wonder he's falling for her.

Ao No Miburo first episode.
not bad, not great, judgement pending.
animation seems a bit old fashioned, not too much movement, using pan shots to save frames.
I'm not sure about the necessity of the framing device, but it's still the first episode. based on the opening it looks like a show with a whole bunch of characters, but maybe they expect me to already know half of them and only focus on the made-up heroes.
need to watch a few more episodes.
Maou 2099 episode 2:
And there goes most of my positive impression, sigh. Lots more focus on comedic moments, and we have a demon lord who's becoming a VTuber now.
I mean, cool, do that. But why make the first episode so serious then? Now we have the n-th variant of "Hataraku Maou". Will still keep watching so far because I'm already hooked, but this is disappointing.
Also dear Japan: Pls stop using "demon lords" as villains when you NEVER depict them as truly evil.

Ao No Miburo second episode.
still not getting through to me. maybe if I was super into the shinsengumi I would appreciate seeing all the big names. but so far it didn't hook me yet. the stringer scene does intrigue me, maybe we can finally have some actual plot going on.
episode 3:
This was supposed to be the episode that starts things, and it almost does. but it's still so basic... There's no hook to follow on. not a single plot point to get interested in. and the animation is so stale and cheap, which kills whatever excitment there might have been.
next episode introduces a new kid character, which is actually a known member. let's hope the series finds itself.

sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

Didn't expect to hear Speed Lover again. Cool.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Ao no Miburo episode 4.
they managed to stumble across a compelling story, it's handled like crap, but at least something interesting. just replace all the characters and we might have a show.

Italian pasta better in Japan than London? From what I've heard online, Japan bastardises pasta sauces quite a lot at non dedicated places. Not sure about "authentic" places, and no idea what London's like though.
And they went and turbocharged the 86 ;(. The whole linear throttle response is the charm of the NA. I'd have advocated more for a supercharger. That said, Kanata is running the first gen 86, so I guess you might as well fix the 4K rpm torque dip.

I mean, what foreign cuisine DOESN'T Japan bastardize?
As a German, seeing what Japanese people sell as "bread" tears my heart.

As an Asian, I can say that we almost universally dislike hard breads or super sweet breads. Asian bakeries all sell this really really soft bread with the emphasis being mostly on the filling.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
And that's exactly what I hate about Japanese "bread"The Fillings. Bread doesn't have a filling. You can add to bread whatever you want after you slice it. Marmelade, Nutella, butter, whatever. But when you fill dough with some sweet melon mass, it turns into sweet pastry. You can enjoy that, but don't call it bread pls.

What about curry pan? It is filled with curry, so not a sweet pastry.
Peace.
Btw, pretty sure there's no melon in melon pan. It just looks kind of round with some texture hence melon

DO NOT FILL BREAD

Some do, but you are right that it is called melon because of the outer cookie coating. At some point, some makers just decided to add melon in some variations.
@Mfauli - Is this bread opinion a German thing or a you thing?
Peace.
It's a "my father had his own bakery, is a baker master, and I grew up above a bakery" opinion. And only weirdo-Germans would disagree.

So it is a German thing. It's so interesting how different cultures see certain foods.
Peace.
