Nadesico, Aria, et al.

So in the last week, I watched all the episodes of Martian Successor Nadesico on Youtube. I was curious after someone mentioned it was free, but also because I have a Dojinshi about it I picked up decades ago by Dan Kanemitsu, who turns out to have been the translator for the anime.

At the end of it, YouTube presented me with other shows on the "Nozomient" channel. And since a certain Duck is very enamored of Aria, I figured I'd try that next.

I want to strangle circles who do this!

So this group releases a series I want to see, and I dutifully torrent new episodes every week, But then when the last episode comes out, instead of releasing it, they make it part of a batch.

Yes, I know I can tell BitTorrent to not download the other 11 episodes, and my system is littered with fractional files, and when I've had to rebuild the index, it insists some files are incomplete because the blocks span the file ends. It's a PITA.

Nadia

I've slowly been working my way through Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, a series that made quite a splash (sorry) in the anime community when it came out. I actually scored a copy Raw on VHS ages ago. Being Raw, I rarely made it more than a few episodes in. There was a commercial release, I think I have one or two tapes of that. And I found a torrent last year. I'm finally working my way through it. I'm not quite halfway through, and all I can think is "You know, Nadia's kind of a little bitch." Other than being a McGuffin for the first part, she doesn't contribute much other than scowling at everyone.

Juden-chan

Steven den Beste's rotating picture gizmo had a lot of images from an Anime called Juden-chan (Which has nothing to do with Nazis.) But since it was from 2009, there was no way to see the show.

Was.

Found it: https://tubitv.com/series/1963/juden_chan Thanks to someone telling me where I could find Aika, which apparently is a touchstone I missed. The site seems to have a lot of classics.

Peter Grill

No, it's not a feminist fantasy for what to do with the leftovers from all the men they want to castrate.  It's a half-length, explicit-ish Harem comedy that isn't terribly funny, and really badly censored (But there ARE uncensored feeds out there, not that I care.)

So the Aforementioned Peter Grill lives in a fantasy world full of all manner of humanoid critters, and he's just won the Ultimate Warrior Gladiator Fight that prove he's the bestest in the world. And he's all Ataru-like "Now I can get married!" His fiancee, the daughter of the human warrior guild leader (Who doesn't like him one bit) is naive to the extreme - She thinks babies come from a couple praying together and the stork drops off a kid.

There are plenty of OTHER women though who know exactly where babies come from, and a little something about genetics, and winning the Strongest Warrior in the World tournament has painted a gigantic bull's eye right around his wing-wang.

So unlike a lot of other Harem comedies, at least there's an explanation for why the haremettes all want the lead. And also unlike a lot of Harem comedies, they all get what they're after too. So if getting laid thanks to blackmail, magical priapism curses, main force, etc. is your kind of thing, I suppose you might like this.

But find an uncensored feed, because the white glowy shit all over the screen is NOT our hero's seed.

I think I lasted three episodes.

Domestic No Kanojo

I was not interested in this when I first read the description. Boy has the hots for a teacher. Boy also gets dragged off from a meet-up by flat aspect shy girl who takes his virginity and wants nothing more to do with him afterwards. Surprise, they're sisters, and when their mom marries his dad, they're his sisters now too.

I was fully expecting a typical harem/incest fetish/lousy comedy where Hijinks Ensue.

That was not the case. It's played straight, and the characters are a lot more dramatic than I expected. After sampling the first episode, I watched the first three straight through.

Of course, there's still time for it to go horribly wrong, but I will definitely be finding out soon.

BNA - Brand New Animal

Is actually quite good.

(I could write a much more detailed post if I knew people would see it.)

Gleipnir

The description text on AnimeChart didn't really catch my interest too much. I mean, a guy turns into a giant mascot suit? There's a REASON I ditched Furry Fandom when it stopped being about Art and Comics.

But people I follow on Twitter raved about it, and I finally started checking it out. I'm 3 episodes in and it is tremendously mind-fucky. It's much more about poisoned wishes that cost you everything you held dear, and what a monster you become as a result, and our hero is the victim of someone else's wish.


And the episode 3 cliffhanger was so jaw-dropping, I had to post before I watched the next episode, because DAMN!

(Now if I could find a translation that includes the OP and ED. Why are so many circles falling down on this these days?)
