Love after World Domination
aka Koi wa Sekai Seifuku no Ato de
I laughed my ass off at multiple times during the first episode of this. Now, I in general have a liking for shows that kindly poke fun at genre tropes. (I still need to finish Miss Kuroitsu though), and this is definitely in that category.
When the Red leader of a Sentai force falls in love at first sight with the newest general of the evil organization, you know it's going to get complicated....
The animation could be a lot better, but the story has heart.

Isekai are now snarking at each other....
Just grabbed the first episode of Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road (aka The Executioner and Her Way of Life) where our Isekai'd hero is tossed out when they find he has no powers. She presents herself to him as a priestess of an order that takes care of "Lost Ones" like him (but as you can guess by the title, she intends a different kind of "taking care of" him).
While she's giving him the score, we get this nifty little exchange:
Mutou Mitsuki: "Oh, I see, I get it now! This is where I use knowledge from home to make a name for myself! What stuff do I know...? Oh, What about Mayonnaise?"
Menou: "Ah yes, Mayonnaise. It's pretty tasty."
Mutou Mitsuki: "Eh, You know what it is?"
At which point she explains that Lost Ones have been coming for a long time and they all come from Japan, and leads him around a corner to a part of town with lots of Japanese signs. A lot of Japanese has merged with their culture. And then he realizes that she's been speaking to him in Japanese, not some kind of magical translation.
I'm sure the both of you who read this blog get the reference....

Lupin the Third
Ever want to dive into the origin of one of the earliest and most long-lived anime titles aimed at adults instead of children, you need not hoist the black flag. Streaming Service Pluto.tv has Lupin the Third Part 1 in their On Demand library. I've recently completed all 23 episodes. And then I went and read up on it, because it turns out there were some interesting things that happened in the background.
The beginning episodes a bit darker and more brooding than the series later became, but the tone changed partway through, that's because they replaced the director... with Miazaki. (And you can see that influence with things like the changes to Fujiko's design, Clearly Miazaki has a bit of a fetish for bobbed hairstyles.)
It's also interesting to see the origins of some characters, like how the Samurai Goemon joined the crew, and how he wasn't exactly a regular until later on.

But yeah, if you want to know what they're talking about when they say "Green Jacket Lupin," that's where you can go. And it's Free, although with ads - Mostly repetitive ads for Geico and Paramount +.
I'm now getting started on Part 2, but they only have the first season. This is the start of the "Red Jacket".
