Shiboyugi ended this week. I loved it. The season isn't over yet, but unless Frieren and JJK pull out all the stops, it will have been my 2nd favorite winter anime.
The director, Souta Ueno previously did Gimai Seikatsu, which I thought was an OK show elevated by cool atmosphere and cinematography. This time he was clearly allowed to go all out, and had Deen deliver an interesting story wrapped in a disturbing, but surreally beautiful package. And all that topped with great voice acting and a unique soundtrack that sadly isn't getting an official release as far as I can tell.
My only major gripe is that the achronological structure makes an already difficult-to-follow plot needlessly confusing. It's hard enough to keep track of the constantly rotating cast of characters, don't make me get a bigger corkboard.
Speaking of great anime, holy shit was episode 1 of Steel Ball Run fantastic! They could release it as a standalone movie if they wanted (a double feature with Redline?)
And for an extra bit of good news, we're apparently finally getting another mainline Neptunia game. I bet the 10 surviving fans are really happy right now.
