It's been a couple of years since I've updated this blog, to be honest I don't even think anyone uses Blogger or reads blogs for that matter anymore in 2021. But it doesn't matter too much to me, since I'm just rambling on here just because. Ultimately I guess it is a archive for me to personally look back in the near future and laugh at my shitty and outdated anime tastes.
Somehow, I can't seem to ever get a consistent release schedule of posts underway - a mix of lack of motivation/feedback and real life gets in the way mostly.
But for those of you who might chance upon this blog, good for you. I have a MyAnimeList profile which you can follow or comment as I do update my recommendations and lists from there! You can find it here
I might do a review of the better animes that I've watched in 2020, but off the top of my head the better ones are Jujutsu Kaisen and Great Pretender.
Jujutsu Kaisen had really good fight scenes, flashy and detailed. For a Shounen, it really is a step above (looking at you, Boruto)
Great Pretender had a bright colour watercolour-style palette when it came to the art style, and although the plot got increasingly wacky, it was decent. The art really reminds me of an anime which I'm pretty gutted didn't get a second season and was/still is one of my favourite isekai : Grimgar - A tale of fantasy and Ash.
But 2020 personally has been a roller coaster of a year, which I'm sure for most of you would be the case as well. I stepped into the adult world and got my first fulltime job, had to experience the first global pandemic firsthand but I think most of all the pandemic weirdly validated my extremely unsociable personality. I didnt watch many new anime, but I did reach back into the past and watch some classics like Neon Genesis Evangelion, which to be honest is better than quite a few shows in 2020 and 2021.
2021 is shaping up to be a better year than 2020, personally and on an anime front. Eighty-Six has been a pretty good anime, albeit a little short in terms of number of episodes and it suffers from pacing issues as a result. However, it evokes the Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans feel, and I really like IBO.
Hopefully I'll be able to bring myself to editing and publishing a short updated anime recommendation list of my new top 10 anime of all time. But until then, stay safe everyone and have a good one.
Until next time,
Endblade
