I know I said last week I would post these on Monday, but did you know that in most of the world it is already Monday? It's true! Time math can be weird. (Plus, I have early meetings for work tomorrow and won't get a chance to make the post, so here it is instead)

Do you have any thoughts on the Fall season so far? Any shows surprised you? Disappointed you? Made you cry ugly tears?

This is also a place to post about any anime, not just currently airing shows, so feel free to post about that random old show that you aren't sure whether you dreamed it up or if it actually aired on Toonami when you were a kid.

The only rule* in the discussion thread is to tag your spoilers!

I haven't watched too many older shows this past week as I have been busy with work and trying to sample a lot of the new season's shows. I am still in awe of the VA work for Kotaro in Zombie Land Saga. That character is so off the rails and the voice work really lends to the air of insanity that surrounds him. Plus, it is the same CV as one of my other favorite characters, Okabe Rintaro from Steins; Gate.

As for this season's offerings, Frieren and Eminence are both really hitting for me. They are probably my favorite manga and LN series respectively, so I knew I was either going to like them or hate them, but I am so happy that the adaptations are of amazing quality. I also loved the premiere episode of 100GF, another great manga, so I am hoping that the quality stays high as I am planning on putting on episode 2 after I finish writing this post.

My wife and I started watching the new Kenshin (only two episodes in so far). We are both big fans of the original series, but the new one just isn't really doing it for us. It feels like it doesn't have the silly humor of the old series, but it doesn't compensate by doing something like upping the action sequences. It just kind of falls in this boring middle. People that have been watching it, does it get any better?

As a meta comment, I would like to thank those that have already and encourage those that haven't yet to participate in the survey about episode discussion posts. It is valuable feedback to help design the tools to help the community grow in a healthy and desirable way for us.

I got it a bit ago, sorry for the delay; federation apparently doesn't distribute moderation properly
