Anime Watch: KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!

If you've been paying attention to certain corners of the Internet over the last few months, then this should come to you as no surprise. But why is Konosuba under Anime Watch, and not Why I Love Anime?

Well, technically it isn't complete yet. Even though I absolutely adore this show, we are still waiting on an OVA to drop before season one is really 'complete' - and it is definitely going to get a season two, which I am very excited.

So let's get into this.

Why I Love Anime: Rune Soldier Louie

As you may have gathered from my previous post, I'm a huge freaking fantasy nerd. I love magic and stuff. It's kind of hard to find someone that doesn't these days.

But while I was writing about The Slayers, I was reminded of another great show that's always held a special place in my heart: Rune Soldier. Let's have a look.

Why I Love Anime: The Slayers

In keeping with the grand tradition of attempting to ensure a stream of content continues its way to you lovely folks who read this thing, today I'm going to talk about another one of my favorite things ever. Well, two really. It'll make sense, I promise.

Am I going to make this yet another theme week? Maybe I will! Or will I? You'll just have to wait and find out.

Anime Watch: Macross Delta

Hopefully, by now, you understand my love for Macross. If you don't, then you should read about that here, and then look at my lunatic ravings over Macross 7. Only then will this truly make sense to you.

If you've already read those, or you just want to see me rave like some kind of crazy person, then read on, friends.

Why I Love Anime: Macross 7

As I mentioned yesterday, I freaking love Macross. But across the entire series, one in particular stands out as a black sheep among the rest: Macross 7.

Most people hate Macross 7, and it isn't hard to see why. It takes everything that made the original material so amazing, and tells it to piss off. The original was chock full of military might, and the movie (which is basically an in-universe retelling of the first series) retains that. Macross Plus continues this, and hell, even the second movie, which portrayed a pacifistic main lead, still had plenty of military action.

A lot of people hate this series, but me? I f***ing love it, and today I'm going to tell you why. SO LISTEN TO MY SONG!

Why I Love Anime: Super Dimension Fortress Macross

I've probably mentioned this a few times in the past, but I am a HUGE Macross fan. I f***ing love this series to death, and with the release of Macross Delta, I've wanted to gush about why I enjoy it so much.

But before I can do that, I have to talk about Macross Seven. But before I can do that, I have to explain what makes Macross great to begin with. Which leads me to now.

Let's take a look at one of the series that, next to Gundam itself, helped define the Space Opera genre.

Anime Watch - Twin Star Exorcists

I wasn't entirely sure what show I wanted to cover next. This season has some pretty decent offerings, but after seeing the first episode of this show, I knew it had to be covered.

Generally speaking, I try not to spoil myself prior to watching a show. Most times, I love going in blind, and I think in this case it probably served me very well.

Anime Watch: Kiznaiver

It is figuratively killing me that I have been unable to put out content lately. To help combat this, I figure I should probably start talking about some of the shows I'm watching. Someone said at some point that was a thing they'd like me to do, so I figure, why the heck not?

Let's begin with one of the latest offerings from my mancrush Studio Trigger, and the bizarre show that is Kiznaiver.
