"My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!" Is my absolute favorite to watch this season, but you should prepare yourself. If the trend in lightnovels and manga adaptations has been anything to go on, and if civilization doesn't end, we're going to be seeing a whole lot more Oteme Isekais in the next few years.
Serious Bichon YESSS HAHAHA I was looking for this comment the MOMENT I saw Clarisse in color lmao I’m not even in the part where he starts talking about it but I wanted to see if anyone has read the manga Got any recommendations?

"Horny in an incessant, overwhelming, deeply uncomfortable manner that bleeds into the brutal violence until the line between those aspects of the show all but disappears" He never told us he was a poet...
@@bernardoheusi6146 Yeah, it didn't stick, but it was snowing Tuesday here in Kentucky, and hasn't reliably been up to 60 F. 2020 keeps getting stranger.
@@kreneks0173 yeah we haven't had snow in Indiana in a few weeks. But we have had a shit ton of rain, this isn't Africa you know. Weather in the midwest is bipolar!
It was a winter wonderland for us yesterday. Some places the snow hasnt even melted from that cute lil snow storm. But there was pink and yellow blossoms on some of the young early bloomers in town anyways. Apocalypse is definitely incoming.
"I'm-Reincarnated-As-The-Villainess-In-This-Otome Game/Light Novel/Manga" is my favorite too-specific Isekai subgenre. There's been a lot of these kinds of shoujo isekai in manga recently and we're here, we've finally made it to adaptation fhdksja
@@thisisafilleracc3140I think it's because some people have tried to take "help I'm trapped in a game" so seriously it is less fun. "Help I'm trapped in a trashy love sim" is something that I hope will always be goofy and fun.
@@9o1ybius That might be a good hypothesis. In many novels and shows the focus of ones crush and 'love interest' at first is quickly turned after unraveling certain elements of the story. Those stories can really make a big hit on the reader.
No one is seriously going to comment about his intro with the jumpscare video from 2007? Anyone? I can't watch this because of it >.< **war flashbacks**
@Loli4lyf I don't have a problem with it because the subs still call them by their proper names, though I did get triggered the first time I heard it. You gotta just get over it to properly enjoy Tower of Simp.
@Loli4lyf The whole point of Tower of God's MC is that he's not edgy. Some pretty terrible shit happens to him, but he never stops being a cinnamon roll simp. He does look pretty bland, but he's sort of also unique in the sens that he's the first good-looking protagonist to actually have his good looks canonically acknowledged by other characters in the story. You know that annoying in anime where the MC would constantly be described as "bland" looking, despite having spiky green hair and being a solid 10? (Looking at you Deku) Well, this series actually acknowledges this trope and being good looking is like the MC's main ability in the beginning of the series.
So basically, his name means"Twenty-fifth night". Guess who was born on a Twenty-fifth night of the month? Now you know how much weight the MC will have in the Tower.
@@zusfrankenstein8561 "simp" fucking cringe. What a way to degrade Baams characterization so badly. He's a dedicated individual who cares for others willing to do what is necessary to make himself the person he needs to be to be there to support his friends and those he intends to help. That anime edgelords jumped on just narrowing down his character to "simping" is really reminding me how crap the online community is at large
As someone who has read literally every Tower of God chapter, you are in for a deep, deep, deep abyss of lore and story. This entire season by its end will still be a mile away from the surface, much less be able to hope to scratch it.
@Hans Hanzo honestly, I prefer season 1 to the beginning of two. Two just didn't click with me, no clue why, it got Hella good at the hell train arc tho ngl
I got a recommendation from a friend a way back to read the comic, before I knew there would be an anime adaptation, so I started reading it, slowly. Now I am somewhere in the middle of season 2 and boy I just can't stop reading. It builds up to some massive payoff, and I'm sure as hell that I am still far from knowing and understanding what's going on.
Christopher Tan should I read the manga before the anime or does it not matter also what’s the difference between manga and novel readers help me out bruv I’ve recently just been watching anime anime
From what i've seen it is a very faithful adaptation, with very little difference from the manga. I would say just enjoy the show, it feels nicer to enjoy the anime without spoilers. The manga is more polished than the light novel is what i would say, and the anime and manga are pretty much the same in quality.
*Sees Anime Title* "Oh Gleipnir, like the unbreakable ribbon that finally bound the wolf fenris in Norse mythology. I wonder how that will link to the plot. Probably wolves are involved. " *Watches segment* "Oh sweet summer child, you should have known the bondage part of that reference would have been the one most relevant to the plot."
@@rokurokubi3273 Yeah, I am not sure it is my cup of tea either, but I was really impressed with a one word title fitting the themes so well. This show is the anti-"isekai with synopsis as title"
cant wait to see people who are dissapointed when the entire next 3 arcs have no sexual assault or murder in them because shuichi and claire chill the fuck out about it
Anime and manga and light novels should have save points like in video games where the author writes the story in a way where u can put it down and go to sleep.
Actually the “I’ve been reincarnated into my favorite otome game” is quite common in isekai manga and light novels but it’s fairly new to being adapted to anime. Though I will say, I think this specific one is actually one of the better ones.
KoiPuff yea they are always the villainess, kinda funny how it’s always sounds like the opposite of wish fulfillment but always ends up like that in the end.
"The scraphead that surrounds Liverchester" Not a nice way to talk about Salford and St Helens, though depending on who you ask, not entirely inaccurate.
I can see it in my mind's eye already. It's entirely made of victorian terraced brick houses. All the inhabitants are old men in flat caps. Everything is brown.
@@owenmaleski2203 I cannot explain to you how much pure joy you have brought to my heart! I have been looking for the name of this anime for literal YEARS because I watched it in HS, loved it and forgot the name 💔💔 thank you so so so much for ending my search!

kikml22 honestly same. I loved the manga! I’m so happy she got a show, but as someone super into the manga genre (reincarnated into an otome game) I completely forgot until this video that it’s uncommon in anime 🤣
@@katiesiddoway9814 right??? I love the genre in manga and light novels too, and I totally forgot that there are no anime like it yet. I'm sure they'll start being made PRETTY QUICK after our girl Katarina's success
In case anyone doesn't know *Rascal Does not Dream of a Dreaming Girl* is on Funimation this weekend only. In case anyone missed it in theaters late last year
Anime watchers: "oh an otome game isekai, what a novel concept" Manga readers: "...you're f@cking kidding me, right?" I do hope it does well enough to open the floodgates for otoge isekai anime adaptations. There are a lot of good ones.
I was thinking the same thing!!!! Made me do a double-take when he said novel....lol. I read so much of this genre. I'm glad they made this into an anime and do hope to see more
ikr! there are so many otome isekai mangas i was so surprised when he said that! hopefully more good quality isekai animes do come out tho theyre my fave genre ;w;

I don't think Netflix understand anime very well. Why on earth do they think it's a good idea to withhold international releases until months after the initial release? Have they heard of simulcasting? Is it just some strange right of passage testing their users willpower to see if they cave to the temptation of illegal downloads? It makes even less sense now because of coronavirus. You literally have a captive audience, just release BNA already!
I just use Netflix cause. Netlfix may own the rights to the series, but it's currently not legally available. And because it's not currently available legally, I have the right to use other means to watch it until the legal option becomes available. When it does, I only watch it through that legal method. And I usually always immediately rewatch shows upon legal release (usually dubbed) to support them
Nah, Netflix has this weird thing where they insist on only releasing things after the full season has completely aired, and sometimes even waiting months after that before putting it up. (See things like When calls the heart, miraculous ladybug, etc. ) I think it's to encourage binge watching, but when cable channels are making it "free" to watch the latest 4 episodes, and there are plenty of illegal sources to pick up the slack, Netflix is only driving people away with this strategy, because it only works with stuff they produce in house.
Geoff: "I'll put these in a convenient list for you to write down" Us: "Oh fantastic that's very helpful, now we won't have to rewind-" Also Geoff: "Now I'm going to talk over it with more names that I'm not writing down"
Everyones is part of Bakarinas Harem. Boy ? Girl? Doesn't matter at all. Her denseness will make you fall for her and you won't even know it. This manga and light novel is sooooo good, I'm glad it got a adaptation (and such a good one as well)~
I came into this saying if "My Next Life as a Villainess" wasn't on here I'd riot. I'm glad it's on here, it's such a refreshing watch and a great manga read too!
That was me with Sing "Yesterday" for Me. If Geoff had somehow missed that one, I was going to write him off as a hack! Bad enough Arte got shoved into the honorable mentions pile! It's my fave anime of the season, so far.
I haven't watched the anime yet bc school work, but Arte is my favourite manga and I hope the adaptation is doing it justice Tho even if the anime Is good, I recommend reading the manga anyway, the art is fantastic and from what I've seen I don't think the anime really captured it
@@bryceconwell5002 Thats great to hear! I am an avid fan of ToG and the series really picks up the pace and if you stick around, im sure you are going to love it even more :D
@@hawks3109 the webtoon is the comic book that the show is based on, they just call it webtoon instead of manga. I recommend you read it, it's in color and has like 500 chapters you can read it for a long long time

OmeGigaSavior ngl Tower of God is less of a Shōnen battle, it’s more of a dark fantasy. At least in the first few arcs, it gets a bit more Shōnen later on
"get my hand on it" Some character element he didn't grasp? That's not like him "And then my other hand" Wait what "And get my face in there" Oh god please don't be what I think you're implying "And just brbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr-" I shoulda guessed Never change Mother's Basement, never change!
I remember calling my friend when I was 14 at 8:30am on Saturdays so we could watch the new Digimon episode together over the phone. I'm 35 now and Digimon will still always hold a special place in my heart.
I was defenitely the most hyped for Fruits Basket S2. Everything we see in this season has never been animated before and since I really love the manga, I'm so happy to see it animated completely. I've been literally counting the days to its start.
I’d love it if you did a retrospective on the previous season sometimes. I totally understand why reviewing these shows at the beginning makes sense, but many shows go from good to bad or bad to good over the course of a season, and reviews of a few shows in their entirety would be super useful as well. Additionally, you would be able to cover shows you missed (Keep your hands off Eizoken) and shows released in blocks (Beastars). Also, almost none of these appeal to me compared to last season where almost all the shows you covered were right down the alley.
He'll usually do videos for specific shows throughout the season. Bookworm wasn't on his top 10 for Fall 2019, but he's mentioned it in multiple videos since then. He'll also usually do a best/worst of the year around December or January.
Jardex22 yes, but the number of shows he covers is very limited in number, and rarely covers shows he thinks didn’t live up to their potential. A retrospective would fill those gaps.
@Darth_Darling what do you mean crashed and burned? That show was never a serious adventure but it 100% delivered the comedy start to finish and that was its purpose.
Hey man. I know one comment isn't going to stand out among the rest or probably ever get seen by you, but I wanted to say, thank you, thank you so much for all your do with your channel. Watching your show is happiness in my day. I wish I had something like this when I first started to get into anime in 1992-1993 and have that guidance (would have been nice to steer clear from buying those $40-$45 tapes with one episode that was just shit). Thank you for everything you do man! Your cander, your writing, your energy, and your knowledge. It's a glowing beam of sunlight!
Sing Yesterday for Me reminds me a lot of Welcome to the NHK. Maybe its the tone, maybe its the almost crushingly realistic way it tells its story or the mid-thousands grimy aesthetic that is starting to feel a bit nostalgic to me. I'm not really fan of Manic Pixie Dream Girl-trope, but there's something odly gripping about this show.
I didnt know Sing yesterday for me was getting and adaptation. It will be a must watch for me this season!!! It also surpriese how little people is talking about it. I mean is a really good drama, right?
I thought I was gonna literally DIE when Geoff did the whole "motorboat a cartoon chick's boobs" thing. I gotta watch this show just for that reason, if nothing else! 😂
18:20 I know you're saying "its a new one" just cause for anime is new but in novels there are tons of isekais with the same otome game premise, no joke, literally the same XD.
well yeah, one series comes along and does something new, and then quickly a bunch of others start to copy it. This happens fast enough that there will be plenty of copycats by the time the first series in the genre get adaptations, and this is one of the original ones.
@@android19willpwn Considering most of them do begin as web novel too is something that happens, but there are older than this series that do a better job even with the same premise. There is one I can't remember the name about a character that is portrait as the female antagonist and is she's fat but she knows that her character is in a death end so trying to change her future is taken more serious, there even was a manga but It had more comedy. There are older ones so, this series its not even that's fresh in how it handles everything.
@@TY-df7fg Mushoku Tensei is so old in light novels ages that I don't think he even know it's existence, is amazing but when it gets animated it would be A: put with the rest of isekais, B: stand out like shield hero :/.
Thanks for recommending me Gleipnir. I fell in love with this series! Caught up to the manga and ohhhh myy goddddd season 2 is gonna be great. If one ever comes. Which I hope it will, since the first seasons OP was so good!
I just binged the anime, then the manga in like two days. Impressive stuff, I don't know how they blend the horny with the horror so well but it's deeply unsettling.
Plot twist: at the end of My Next Life as a Villainous: A Roads Lead to Doom, the main character lives by marrying the protagonist of her favorite game. Even twistier plot: The protagonist is her rival/nemesis from her previous life. They hate each other at first, but keep getting put in situations together because of the game. Finally, it's the finale and the protagonist is about to choose their future partner, and the main character stops trying to save her own life and just wants the protagonist/rival/nemesis to be happy. I'd watch that.
He recommended them, but I would suggest not to watch _Princess Connect! Re:Dive_ and _Listener_ , along with _Shachou, Battle no Jikan desu!_ . Especially the last one.
My list : Yesterday wo otatte (i just like slice of life) Kami no to (I've read the webtoon) Brand New -animation- Animal (I've even translated the ending to Arabic, fell in love with this series)
I'm surprised that there aren't more! There are a few manga that have done this, mainly putting the 'isekaied' character into the villaness' role (likely trying to subvert the common isekai trope). There has been one manga that puts its male character as a MOB Who has the dual advantage of knowledge from the game and knowledge from a side perspective.
A warning for the people interested in the digimon reboot, it isnt as good as the original. The first three episodes are super solid though, it made me want to watch more for sure. However, at the point of this comment we are several episodes in and it kind of gets...worse as we go on. I dont want to say it’s bad, I am sure it is perfect for kids, however the themes and pacing and characters are shallower than the original. I would say you should watch it yourself to see what I’m talking about, but watch it critically. I guarantee you will love the first three episodes, after that you may be left scratching your head or asking for depth or themes that just aren’t there anymore. Also, my one gripe about the intro 3 episodes is that you see...something... that really shouldn’t have been shown so early. I won’t say what it is to not spoil anyone, but it really annoyed me when it happened and took out the hype I would have felt had it happened later.
"But I can't put my finger on it but I want to and then my hand... and the other hand... and then my face. Brbbrbrbrbrbrb. AHEM* lost my composure there." Haha golden, love it, don't ever change haha!!
Not gonna lie, listening to you has been a pleasure. You have good criticism and are just fun to listen too, which is why I like you’re channel so much. Hearing you talk about bad anime is especially great. Not only so I can avoid spoilers for good anime I might watch in the future but also hearing you complain about it is oddly nice. Sorry if that sounded creepy lmao
