October update

Mob Psycho 100 9-12! the end. Mob, Teru and Dimple go to rescue Mob's brother and the other kidnapped psychic kids. Mob's boss, Reigen, comes to talk to Mob about work, and gets involved. Great story arc here with good humour and cliffhangers. The beginning of the anime was a little iffy and lacked the humor that One-Punch Man and Saiki have, but it definitely built up to a more complex anime. Mob's brother and Reigen developed into interesting characters. And the fun humor came back near the end. ~9/10 rating~ short anime with an interesting animation style and feel-good message.



91 Days 8-12! the end. Angelo/Avilio's friend, Corteo, is forced to murder Fango when his recipe for the Lawless Heaven alcohol is leaked. Things deteriorate further when Angelo kills Corteo to prove his loyalty. Things come to an end when Angelo cause the Vanettis and Galassias to start shooting each other at the opera. Angelo never gets around to killing Nero, thus the show ends with them having a heart-to-heart and mildly open-ended off-screen gunshot. ~6/10 rating~ for a revenge story that was a mild struggle to get through. Angelo plan was clumsy and all the mafia characters were unlikable.



Tales of Zestiria the X 9-12! the end of season 1. Mikleo finds a creature/mascot character that boosts his new-found archery powers. Mikleo then joins Sorey who is fighting a dragon 'puppy'. We get educated in dragons. Princess Alisha faces her assassin in an anti-climactic fight. Then everyone heads to stop a war. The climax was rather anti-climactic, too. The big boss/Lord of Calamity decides not to fight Sorey because Sorey is too weak an opponent which is the classic bad guy mistake. Who waits until their opponent is stronger than them? Only the stupidest of bad guys do that. Plus, Alisha's almost-death scene was not very dramatic. ~8/10 rating~ for the production alone. The story has promise, but the last episode was rather on the cliched side. Gotta wait for season 2 next year to see if the journey is worth it. On the upside, the characters are super-likable and each episode flies by.

Nanatsu no Taizai: Seisen no Shirushi 2-4! the end. consists of Melodias fighting Ban, King chasing Diane and Vivian chasing whathisname...dull fillers. ~6/10 rating~ reminding me why I shouldn't watch the next season.
