This post was written by Dark_Sage. He is Dark_Sage.
I hate being a salaryman, but I would hate being poor even more. Life is sux.
The Rankings – Part 2/4
In this episode:
Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle – Rhyme Anima – Good
Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai – Okay
Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka III – Excellent
King’s Raid: Ishi wo Tsugumono-tachi – Meh
Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken (2020) – Meh
Munou na Nana – Great
Iwa Kakeru!: Sport Climbing Girls – Good
Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko – Bad
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen – Literal Fucking Garbage
Maesetsu! – Bad
Some shorts
Rail Romanesque – Meh
Inu to Neko Docchi mo Katteru to Mainichi Tanoshii – Bad
Kaeru no Pickles: Kimochi no Iro – Bad
Eternity: Shinya no Nurekoi Channel ♡ – Meh
Himitsukessha Taka no Tsume: Golden Spell – Awful
Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle – Rhyme Anima – Good
(HypMic)
tl;dr: Gay like [K]
Japan has been taken over by girl power, and all weapons have been banned. If that wasn’t bad enough, now all sexy boys been banished to the outskirts of Tokyo, cuz it’s hard to be a lesbian if Juto Iruma’s around.
This is the future that liberals want.
But all these boys are, like, rambunctious, y’know? They wanna fight! And in HypMic (I gotta hope this is pronounced Hype Mike instead of Hip Mick), there’s a solution: the hypnosis microphone. Developed by Kaiba Corp., this tool allows for sick rhymes to deal real damage in rap battles. And you know our boys are battlin’.
Japanese rap is great because none of the words mean anything.
Anime Trailer:
Enamored of the concept and characters I may be, but I’m not expecting the show to be anything truly exceptional. That being said, I only care about how much Drunk_Sage will enjoy a show while watching it, and I’m expecting a fair bit of enjoyment here.
In Japanese, dumb translates to fun.
Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai – Okay
(Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club )
tl;dr: Love Live at its most generic.
Spoiler for
Director:Tomoyuki Kawamura (Mitsuboshi Colors… which I need to finish, Kamigami no Asobi, Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai)
I stopped caring about Love Live when the mobage came out and it forced me to come to terms with how dogshit I am at rhythm games.
The show will probably be fine, but if it aspires to anything more than that, it’s not yet evident.
Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka III – Excellent
(DanMachi S3)
tl;dr: Honestly, fuck anyone who doesn’t like DanMachi. And I mean in the snuff kind of way.
Spoiler for
Manga/LN: Why bother reading when you could watch them tiddies bounce?
Director / Animation Production:Hideki Tachibana & J.C.Staff (Having done DanMachi S1 and S2, I am convinced they can do no wrong)
Season 1 was a masterpiece of happy-feels shounen. And I’m tired of letting people pretend like S2 wasn’t just as good. How do you not fucking get what DanMachi is?
You got a good dude doing good things in a world that’s not so good. Fucking simple. I read the top-rated review on MAL and it boiled down to three points:
“It’s predictable”
There aren’t any shounen I’m aware of with a prostitute rescue arc. But hey if you were sagely enough to see that coming, I’m sure you totes knew the main takeaway would be “prostitutes are people too” instead of “even whores can find Japanese Jesus”. Great observation!
“I read TVTropes once and it says all the characters are generic”
The more aspects to a character there are, the more tropes apply. What the fuck are you looking for?
“All women are sluts”
Okay, I think I understand the demographic of people who don’t like DanMachi now. I can smell the smegma through my screen.
This new season features Bell saving a cute monster girl and getting assfucked by society in the process, as is the DanMachi standard. I am 100% in.
Ladies, let’s agree to be gay for a second. Fellas, let’s pretend to be straight for a second.
This is the kinda show puberty was made for.
Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko – Bad
(Kami-Touchy the Bad Place)
tl;dr: Posting bail after getting charged with possession of child porn, a Californian computer engineer named Roberto downs a bottle of sleeping bottles and drifts off into death.
Luckily for him, a handful of goddesses from another world are facing a dire under-population problem. Whisking him off to their realm of magic, he discovers himself reincarnated as a 9-year-old boy in a land where the children are able to conceive, but adults cannot.
The goddesses set upon him a trial: impregnate 100 girls before the year is done, or be banished to the shadow realm!
Will our protagonist be able to use his years of expertise to lure children to his bed? A light-hearted tale of romance and rape is about to begin!
Spoiler for
Manga: Linking to the LN or manga would be illegal, so I won’t.
Director:Takeyuki Nanasa (Debts of Desire, Classroom of Atonement, Private Sessions)
They are really treating this subject light-heartedly.
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen – Literal Fucking Garbage
(The Irregular at Magic High School: The Jungle Book Arc)
tl;dr: “What if we had an immortal, invincible main character whose sole personality trait was that he lays prone while his sister bloodily rides his dick?”
Spoiler for
Manga: Who cares?
Director: Who cares?
Animation Production: Who cares?
I despise Mahouka, but I would hate wasting my Friday night on thinking about the show even more. So we’re just gonna move on.
If you want good examples of OP characters, think Saitama from One Punch Man and Izayoi from Monadaiji-tachi. Tatsuya is insufferable.
Maesetsu! – Bad
(Soccer Club Friends)
tl;dr: The next project from the dude who did Lucky Star.
Spoiler for
Manga: Just started; couldn’t find scans rip.
Director:Yuu Nobuta (Same dude who’s doing Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear this season, and that sucked)
Animation Production: Studio Gokumi (Tsurezure Children, Yuuki Yuuna, Kinmoza), AXsiZ (they’ve yet to make a tolerable show)
The PVs were unvoiced so have an OP instead of a trailer:
If that didn’t turn you off the series, nothing will. I am retroactively dropping Lucky Star two grades for this.
The Shorts – Varies
Rail Romanesque – Meh
This is an adaptation of the loli VN that hasn’t been banned from Steam yet cuz the morality police only speak American. Cute girls doing cute things is the worst genre, so I’m skipping this.
TL Note: I don’t actually skip shorts cuz they’re easy as fuck to put a +1 on my MAL and I hear once you hit 10,000 series watched, Jesus gives you your virginity back.
Inu to Neko Docchi mo Katteru to Mainichi Tanoshii – Bad
If your full-grown dog is smaller than a football, it ain’t a dog. Avoiding this out of principle.
TL Note: Again, I’ve willingly subjected myself to awful things just for the e-peen. Like, I’ve watched everything made in Japan before ’41. Did I make judicious use of the fast forward button? Maybe, but don’t let the e-cops know.
Kaeru no Pickles: Kimochi no Iro – Bad
I’m gonna be bold here: frogs suck.
…I’m gonna walk that back a bit: anime frogs suck.
Real frogs are cool.
Eternity: Shinya no Nurekoi Channel ♡ – Meh
Any time literal porn is accepted as “real anime”, another series is added to my watch list. Like, it’s gonna get a 3/10, but fap material you don’t have to hunt for is the dream of the lazy.
Himitsukessha Taka no Tsume: Golden Spell – Awful
If you like the garbage they put on Adult Swim, you’re still not the target audience for this cuz you probably speak English.
tl;dr
I gotta pump more of these out like a Catholic, but first: gin.
I’m gonna pretend that’s not vodka.
After the gin: Part 3/4. So much fucking stuff airing this season… Pray for me. ;_;

HypMic
Fujoshi bait shows aren’t my thing. However, some josei wish fulfillment show, I’m totally down for that shit. That being said, this looks ridiculous enough to be interesting. Esp if they focus more on going over-the-top with the concept than having a cohesive story.
DanMachi S3
Whats wrong with whores? It’s not like a girl’s going to see any action from the MC in any of these shows. Though the lack of Loki on the “cover” art isn’t helping. The show never really “did it” for me on the whole but I’ll probably put it on as background while grinding my gacha games.
Climbing Girls
Why do they have to keep insisting on putting in some lame story in these things. Just make a show about some fit girls doing some new physical activity each week with the show consisting of them getting all hot and sweaty as they exert themselves with nice camera angels and the appropriate amount of moans, sighs and grunts. Learn from Hentai and give the people what they want without all the bull shit.
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
How dare you speak ill of ‘Second Coming of Jesus: The Anime’! I kept waiting for the story to get interesting, but then I realized my Dad lied about going out for a pack of smokes.
Nothing wrong with whores. The point I was trying to make is how Japan is so ~egh~ over the possibility of their waifus getting cummed up. Take a look at Kannagi for an example of that; pretty sure that’s the only reason Aisha said that line she did at the end of S2.
I think “meh” is being extremely generous for Rail Romanesque. I don’t think I’ve hated a show that quickly before, especially one ostensibly involving trains.
Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko?? That is about a guy who died from overworking, gets sent to a new world because that is the best way for the gods to add mana to it, so no quest at all, and then he raises slime by him self for three years alone until he saves some people. What is this crap about kid banging?

Thank you for your insightful commentary.

Foxgirl-chan is fucking fantastic.
Well you wouldn’t want a used Tenga. And since that’s as close as those fans will get to a real women their conflation of the two is understandable.
That’s pretty fucking good lmao
Unlike us patrician pussy destroyers in the crymore comments section, amirite fellow Chad?
