"If your society is so great, why do you have so many orphans?" Assassins make orphans, orphans become assassins. It's actually a pretty sustainable model.

Call the night is the closest i've ever been to the personification of a "vibe". The show just fucking enthrals me in a way i didn't know possible. LycroReco has been an unexpected blessing. We had Vivy last year and now this. It's great to see top tier original anime still getting produced.

Lycoris Commander knows the girls for many years already. She even calls Chisato childish. It's probably a situation where she knows she can't control her. Also gives an excuse to have Chisato perform a mock battle, which supposely is rare to see 2 1st rank lycoris battle against each other, or rare to see the lycoris of the radio tower in action.

Reddit is actually very easy if you know what to do. If you click/tap on the flair for a post then you'll only see those flairs. So if you click on Episode, then you'll only see the Episode Discussion threads. Sort by Top of the Last Week and you're good to go. There's also a weekly roundup that gets posted showing how many upvotes each discussion thread got in one picture.

Call of the Night is the main show I am following this season. It's use of colors and scenery makes "The Night Life" look appealing.

The two shows in the thumbnail are definitely my highlights of the season from the non sequels airing right now. Call of the Night just does setting its atmosphere 100% right and the characters are pretty fun to watch. While it’s not exactly something I’d call a good story, it’s delightful to watch every week And for Lycoris Recoil there’s this amazing contrast between the cutesy slice of life stuff and light hearted character interactions with the dark tones and messed up stuff going on in the background. Every episode just keeps getting better and better and if this keeps up, this has the potential to become my (new) AOTY for 2022. from the ones I have in mind on my ptw none other seem to be up to the task. Anyway, even if it doesn’t Chisato is sure as hell gonna be best girl of the year

On the topic of skipping out on school. I had a classmate in vocational school (I think that’s what it would be called) who, in our second year, just one day decided to not show up anymore. When the teachers called his parents after a while they only responded with „the kid‘s 18 already, he can make his own decisions. In the end, HE is the one who has to deal with the consequences himself“. At a younger age I could NEVER imagine doing something like this, and even being over 18, my mom would’ve probably beaten me black and blue if I even attempted it (even though she never actually hit me xD) This is now almost 10 years ago and I still have never seen this guy again

My deepest condolences on the loss of your grandmother.

So far I’m loving Lycoris Recoil. It’s action, environments, and especially character designs are gorgeous, and although the story isn’t anything special, the characters more than make up for that.

A new anime like Lycoris Recoil gets me anticipation every Saturday getting our expectations subverted almost every week.

this is a really stupid thing to say but i think that if you were really good at figuring out where a gun is pointing, you could realistically use optical/psychological tricks to throw off someones aim enough to let you dodge bullets like that. like theres always a pretty long delay between thinking "now is a good time to shoot" and the bullet actually leaving the gun so if you were good at reading people you could probably tell someone is about to shoot noticeably faster than they can shoot using like facial tells and stuff. to anyone that read this you just totally wasted you time its literally a cartoon this is not important

What's wild about call of the night is that the manga and its name and style were entirely based off of a rap song, which was then licensed and approved to be the absolute bop of an ED.

This season is one of the rare times I’m actually watching some shows weekly as they’re airing. The only two I’m following right now are Made in Abyss and Call of the Night. I’m absolutely loving them both. Lycoris Recoil has been in the back of my mind, and now I think I might finally jump in and start catching up on that soon.

The ones I've been enjoying most this season are Summertime Rendering and Black Summoner

Yo Ark. You binging so many episodes in a row made me remember the "Review week of awesome". Planning on anything alike soon?

Review the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime (seriously) Made by Studio Trigger, and I believe people will still be talking about it in 10 years, also believe this will be the example folks give going forward to a proper anime adaptation for a game/non anime/manga related medium. There is so much this anime does fantastically, in complete honesty I do believe this will be the reference to compare so many shows to, be it in character development, loss, tragedy, relationships, etc It hits so different

A thing I feel with LycoReco is that a lot of the "why is it like this" things you also mentioned that are weird are still kind of shrouded in mystery. E.g. the commander to me seems like there's still things we don't know about her that might explain her actions, same with Chisatos "I can just casually dodge bullets" power, so I'm hoping more light gets shed on these in the future

Ark: If your society is so great, why do you have so many orphans? My brain: *Glass Shattering*

Thank you for the shoutout ❤ We can't wait to see what the results are in the coming weeks!

Your style of videos and personality really is a refreshing take on things. Even if I'm not interested in something I've always seemed to at least give the video a try because of it

I'm really enjoying Lycoris Recoil as well. I haven't watched a new anime in years and when I heard about it I decided to actually watch it and it's been very fun.

Manga reader here, Call of The Night is fantastic, it only gets better, and as I'm sure you noticed a HUGE tonal shift in episode 7.

Isekai Ojisan is pretty good this season too!

Lycoris Recoil is the most popular show here in Japan. It’s always trending and even trended number 1 in the world (twitter).

men of culture measure by spice xD

You know.. You could have just listened to your own audience. Because I promise you that we already recommend these shows to you in your last seasonal anime video and you kinda just ignored us.

21:00 - 21:17 If you really want to look for stuff that is in the diamond of the rough next season, I highly recommended Summertime Render. It technically was already airing all the way since the Spring season of this year, but the reason why you and many others may not have even heard of this show yet is because of Disney. With Disney now becoming more interested in anime, they have now started to pick up shows and make them exclusive on their platform, Disney+. Sadly, they have taken the Netflex Anime approach and killed any large discussion of the series in the West by jailing it until presumably the show finishes airing in Japan at the end of the Summer season and releases it in bulk sometime in the Fall season on Disney+. With Disney killing the show's larger popularity during its airing for the past two seasons and the mountain of hype Chainsaw Man has in the Fall season, there is little room for Summertime Render to grow an audience before it passes everyone's radar as the seasons move forward. That's why I think it would be a perfect fit for you to look once it comes out legally to a worldwide audience because I know people are going to miss this show in what is arguably the best show of 2022 by far so far, and I hope you cover it in a video so that not only more eyes have gravitated towards Summertime Render, but to help highlight the further issues in jailing shows to the public and the problem of more companies taking on the Netflix approach in the future. (The bottom half is a Copied+Pasted comment I sent to you in a prior video of yours a month ago for the overview of the Summer show, in case I missed anything that I wanted to say before in my new comment in this video.) Summertime Render is a show I hope to see you cover as it's one of the most intriguing shows to watch in the entire year so far. (In terms of new shows that started airing in 2022) It does take elements from similar anime like it but applies a unique twist to it that keeps you guessing what might happen in the next episode. The only downside I see to this show is where it's located, for two reasons. One: It's on Disney+, and since it looks like Disney has now taken the mantel of jailing its content until it's fully released, meaning it won't be legally public to the people at least until the end of the summer season lineup. Two: The content within the show does not seem to really fit Disney's core demographic which I can assume would be more geared toward children and adults that enjoy their IPS. Both of these problems are definitely why this show has been slipping under everyone's radar and killing all the hype it most likely would have garnered if it had been licensed by Crunchyroll instead. It's a shame because I believe this had what it takes to become one of (if not the) best shows to come out in the year 2022.

Run with Wind. Why haven't you reviewed it? Please do it! This Anime deserves it!!!

I like the vibe of "Call of the Night", the music and the main characters, but this can't carry the show. It's imo very overhyped.

Will you ever go back to reviewing older shows along with newer shows? I've been watching you for about 10 years now and I really miss how you used to review classics and hidden gems as well as new stuff.

Thoughts for your Grandma. I hope you're able to deal with that as well you as can. Lycoris Recoil and Call of the Night are both very good (Lycoris particularly). Also, if you're not watching Summertime Render you're seriously missing out. A Lot. It's Amazing.

:listens to description of lycoris recoil: This is just Black Widow the anime.

I know your watching Made in abyss S2..are you "enjoying " it so far?

i really liked this type of video it was fun to see his opinion on the Communitys favourite shows

Literally never heard of anitrends

Next time you want suggestions from r/anime, check out the ranking list that's released on sundays

The sad thing about Call of the Night is that all the vampires are fundamentally broken. They fell in love, they fell out of love, and now they live on to repeat the cycle.

Uncle form another world is solid

Sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Hope you're doing ok

the problem with made in abyss rarely in ranking is....not all of us are resistant to fictional ptsd-inducing series

> How do you get so many orphans? Orphans get trained to be assassins Assassins make more orphans. It's the orphan industrial complex.

I've got four words for ya': ARMOR PIERCING RUBBER BULLETS!!

I really wanna check out Recoil! It looks super cool!

Tbf the bullet dodging is called out by several people in the show as special and very odd. The rest of the assassins are not described as super natural and they do not do anything beyond what you would expect from a well trained assassin in an action series that tries to be reasonably realistic.

Uncle from another world has brought me much amusement

aww like birdie wing was my favorite show while everyone was talking about spyxfamily

Another really nice video to watch You're doing great work!

oh lawd the only dude whos opinion i trust less than "mothers basement"

Recoil was crazy boring to me I'm not sure why everyone recommends it. Got like 2 episodes in

some people skipped the bokksu sponsor segment, and it shows.

Takina from Lycoris recoil actually mentions she's 16 at one point

A new gun anime is a win in my book, we need more of those... I NEED MORE OF THOSE... A new season of Black Lagoon when?

I always enjoy your videos and your taste in anime

All the talk about Chainsaw Man when Bleach, if released weekly on Disney+, is without a doubt the biggest show of the year

Oh, Chainsaw Man is a thing, but a show that is simple after guessing the ending of the story structure on a one-shot.

yeah those two been on my watchlist all season, just haven't gotten around to them yet.

I don’t watch other people’s recommendation videos. I feel no real need to.

Users online only recommend the most advertised show No one recommends Prima Doll even though it has high production qualities and good story like Violet Evergarden.

Hell yeah thanks for the videoglass reflection your awesome fantastic work.

Does nobody else pronounce Lycoris Recoil like the candy?! Licorice? I know it looks weird for English but thats how I read it from the beginning. Even the katakana (リコリス ri-ko-ri-su, リコイル ri-ko-i-ru) seems to supports that.

Fuuto PI is must see anime!

I understand the beauty of Made In Abyss, but i suffer from depression and it's like watching a marathon of movies about the holocaust.

I regularly use R/Anime and your definitely not wrong but there are weekly episode rankings by MAL score, karma and comments. I have a small friend circle of anime watchers and we have different tastes so when I hear one of my friends say "this week's episode was good" and see the rankings on R/Anime it does point me towards watching that series.

Sorry to hear about your Grandmother. Glad you took your time though, love your videos :)

Can't wait to see you tackle Bocchi the Rock. This titan in Chainsaw Man's shadow.

It's a shame that nobody is watching Yurei Deco. It's like most people saw the first episode, thought it would be just another social media anime, and then dipped, but it's really incredible so far

I don't even watch anime as they run anymore. I watch one anime at a time, binging it a little bit each day, using a random number generator to pick something out of my MAL list each time. I just get so...tired of online discourse and controversy and bickering that I can't engage with it anymore which is the only reason to keep up season to season.

I will not be watching Chainsawman.

Could you go and watch Fuuto Pi...

Aoashi Classroom of the Elite Season 2 My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Character Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World! Overlord IV Summer Time Rendering UNCLE FROM ANOTHER WORLD I never had so many ongoing anime at the same time and enjoying all of them.

In recoil, I think they're going to kill the blonde. They had a weird scene with rock paper scissors where she showed her weakness in predicting certain things. That's a biggggggg death flag. I hope they have the balls to do it.

I've been watching any other thing and avoiding Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer to find that diamond in the rough. Summertime Rendering, Lyco Reco, Ojisan sekai became my favourite watch now

on the point about chisato being able to dodge bullets. from a purely mathematical standpoint it is TECHNICALLY possible to do what she does but it would require a computer level ability to calculate. The logic is the same behind how martial artists can dodge and counter melee attacks seemingly as though they are predicting the future. Its mostly slight muscle twitches and eye movement then the brain calculates it and you react before the swing or kick comes out. With guns this can also be done but because of the speed of a bullet and range that a person can fire it (as well as the fact that a person can straight up miss) this wouldn't be feasible without an anime exaggerated ability to predict the bullet. The show does specify that what she is doing is NOT dodging the bullets but rather she lines herself up with the persons aim and watches their body language to tell when and where they will shoot. In real life you could replicate this with a machine assisted heads up display and a normal human would be able to dodge where the machine told it to.

Are you going to look into Fuuto Pi?

-First off, deepest condolences on the death of your grandmother. May your memories of her continue to bring you joy. -Glad to hear you've discovered "Call of The Night," as after all of the vampire shows of the past couple of years, this one feels fresh. Go pick up that vol. 2. (Oh, and a quick check of AniChart also has it listed as #1 this season. Sometimes the consensus works.) -Agreed that the present season is somewhat sparse at this time, but I consider the break useful since I can catch up on a few shows and other things before what looks to be an absolutely PACKED Fall. Only suggestions I have for Fall 2022 are 1) after reading the first couple chapters of the manga and seeing the trailer, you probably want to stay away from "Futoku no Guild," and 2) under those same conditions, I'm hoping that "Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai" (My Master Has No Tail) turns out to be the type of lesser known but delightful series that you're always looking for. Good luck!

There is also Isekai Ojisan and Summertime Rendering from previous season. Both are way up there imo

I've actually been disappointed with both the shows brought up here. None of them are bad, but they're just kinda middling. Wasn't really interested in any of the characters or worlds both shows offered. Guess they just aren't for me.

Ah yes. The two best girls of the season. Nazuna and Chisato!

There hasn't been a single episode of Lycoris Recoil where I thought it was kinda lacking or boring in some sense. Every episode has been enjoyable so far and also the characters are really likable.

Chisato's ability: from the description given by the commander in Episode 3 I believe that its not that Chisato can see the bullets, its that she "recognizes the trajectory and shot timing" from looking at the angle of the gun pointed at her, and how the shooter is holding it; she uses that to reflexively predict the bullet trajectory. That's how she dodged out of Takina's shot path when Takina shot Fuki (Takina had not yet fired when she dodged).

I'm watching Tokyo mew mew new (watched the 4kids dub when I was younger so it's been very comforting) and nostalgic just waiting for a few other summer anime to be finished

40s. She's in her forties. And he's being raised by a single mom who is basically an absentee parent.

Naw ppl got garbage taste from the younger generation who recommended sao harem clones. But these are good.

Interesting on number of orphan girls, Japan, or Tokyo specifically, has a lot right now, though may not be classified as 'orphan' per se...

For this new season only recommend:::: 1. Fuuto PI 2. Black Summoner Non-Anime:::: 1. Only Murders in the Building

2:54 it's not just me is it who hear another voice in that segment?

I personally picked up LycoReco because coming into Summer 2022 The Hype train was gonna be all over Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 2, in terms of anime actually airing that season. Outside of that, all the hype was gonna be on CSM, which was a few months away. I usually hit up Anichart to seek out shows I felt were gonna fly under the radar and be largely ignored. To me, for summer 2022....that was LycoReco.

Sorry for your loss. For anime lists, also try Anilist. Love the subtle product placement as you eat your way through the box during the entire video.

So lycoris is basically gunslinger girl without depression?

I can't believe you went to reddit for anime recommendations. That is terrifying. Glad you are enjoying Lycoris Recoil. It's the only series I am staying on top of this season. It is a lot of fun

My condolences for your grandmother. :( I hope the service was beautiful.

Love Call of the Night. Could not stand lycoris recoil. The MCs voice is too annoying for me (reminds me of early Asta) and the nonsensical drama and incomprehensible world building just turned me off. The coffee place just seemed like a copy of Tokyo Ghoul. If someone says there's a tone shift then maybe I'll start watching it again, but otherwise a slice of life anime filled with orphan girls that have incomprehensible gun skills is not for me. Much prefer gunslinger girl

I recommended to watch all movies of Satoshi Kon Like Perfect Blue,Millenium Actress,Tokyo Godfathers,Paprika and Paranoia Agent excellent anime movies

I always wait for Siri Yamako cause they've been a patreon support for so long and I like how he says their name OwO

100%, unless you have some sort of super human speed super power, there is no real way you're ever going to dodge a bullet. I mean, maybe by chance if it was a sniper a mile away and you moved from the time they took the shot during the travel time. But the way it's done in the show? Not happening.

I'm enjoying both of these and are probably my top 2 non-sequels as well for this season. A lot of the ones that looked good otherwise, I lost interest in. There are a few others I'm enjoying, but i wouldn't recommend because they're not great, they're fun, but not great.

On the subreddit anime, they have a once weekly post that takes all the karma for the week and puts it in a list. That's the way to find what reddit likes.

Lol.. trigun used the bullet trajectory analysis too. A pretty simple-minded way for anime to make someone kind of a boss. Guns are lame anyways so it's theoretically nice to invalidate them in some way.

I could feel a wave of emotion at around 4:10. I don't really know what to say, just know that somebody out here felt something.
