Anime? Thread #2

[Taffeta]

I rewatched Oushitshu Kyoushi Heine last week (The Royal Tutor in English). It's not very long and it's manifestly silly but it amuses me. And CR have remembered not to force the subtitles on me so that's been lovely

Started rewatching Bungo Stray Dogs as well. Have never quite got to the end of that, although I do love the characters. I've always been a bit meh about them using the names of Japanese authors from Edo/early 20th century, even if their skills and so on are tied up in their literature.

I also find Junichirou and Naomi's sibling relationship creepy.

@LBS, good news on your husband, I'm glad he's making a good recovery!

@Ponyfan, I still need to catch up with SpyxFamily, I have some of the manga which I have since lost when I was sorting my books over the summer...so I will probably just go back to the anime.

I watched the 13th (I think episode of Spy family)

I know usagi means rabbit in Japanese, but it was still amusing hearing Anya say that when she saw a bunch of rabbits.

Spoiler

I could have done without the extra bathroom humor, but that's just me.  There's a point where Loid/Twilight has to get away from Yor and Anya and he makes the excuse that he needs the restroom.  Yor says they'll wait for him, but Anya says that Loid/Twilight often spends a long time in the bathroom, so they should go on ahead.  Except she says it in a much cruder way.

Also, maybe it's because I haven't watched Spy Family for a while, but was Loid/Twilight always such a master of disguise?  I can't say more without giving away a major spoiler, but maybe I missed that before?

Started watching Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.  I don't love the emotional/nostalgic heart-string tugging anime series, but my husband does, so I will endure it.

Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian was okay... I was glad it stayed boring and slice of life rather than going with the fanservice.  There was more than enough of that!

I seem to remember

Spoiler

that he is in disguise right at the start when we first meet him, isn't he?

I love SpyxFamily but I really prefer Anya with Yor and Loid and am not so fond of the stuff around the school. Damien and his friends are sometimes annoying and yeah. I prefer the family scenes overall.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Yes it's part of his bio that he is a Master of Disguise! 

Still waiting on season 2 of the anime and patiently waiting for the manga to keep releasing...

Thanks Taffeta and LBS.  I guess it's been so long since I watched Spy Family I kind of forgot about that part.

Spoiler

I feel like Daimen isn't really as mean as what we're supposed to think, but so far I don't have anything to confirm that theory with.

Right after I posted I found a Twilight plush and the back of the box said "I am a man of a thousand faces."

Me watching Tiger & Bunny for the umpteenth time. I think because a good part of the plot tends to be set around/between October and Christmas, albeit I wouldn't call it especially 'festive'...LOL

I still love their interplay. I'm quite fond of most of the characters by this point. I think it's so interesting that this show was wayyy before Boku no Hero Academy existed, let alone became a sensation, and while I can watch BnHA (I hate the villains mind you), T&B plays up the superhero thing so well that I really prefer it. Doesn't hurt that the main characters have great seiyuu, either, though every time I hear Hirata Hiroaki (Tiger), I think about rewatching Saiyuuki...

Spoiler

Tiger is still Bunny's surrogate dad though

I'm hoping I can catch up on some anime soon.
