It is time ! For my take on what I watched yesterday, of relative interest as I didn't watch anime seriously for years.
Combatants 2
I liked it better than the first one, but that could really just be lowered expectations. Still juvenile, still pervy protag. Oh, it seemingly was the pantsu episode.
Tokyo Revengers 1
Nice. In what measure it will differentiate itself from Erased remains to be seen. The core concept looks very similar at first glance. I won't be able to judge, because I ashamedly didn't watch further than Erased 1. The whole youth gang angle is certainly interesting and there will surely be some dark moments with it.
You have to watch the full episode to have a glimpse of what the series will be about, which was a recurring trend yesterday for me. At least this one is a little more clear on what to expect.
86 1
Yeah, talk about glorified intros. Third time after Mars Red and Tokyo Revengers (in a smaller capacity) where you finish the episode and say 'but the series just started now'.
Could be great ! Could just be solid. Could be shit. It just began. I'm optimistic though, it doesn't seem bad at all.
SSSS Gridman 5
Ok, this was great. Like as great as the other episodes. It is a routine now, a routine of greatness...

Wait what ?
The show mysteries are starting to be cleared up. Not sure I like the explanation, will have to see where it leads. A little nitpick about the character who is used to explain the lore. She is great, but talk about a deus ex machina from hell ! Basically, 'I have come to clarify things for you since one of my ancestor had a debt toward you. Ok, thx, bye.'
I'm nitpicking but guess what ?
