Uncle from Another World would probably be best described as Post-Isekai. Since it’s about a man who awakens from a coma brought to him by Japan’s Most Wanted Isuzu transport truck with magic powers and a sincere sense of early 90s nostalgia, I’d definitely put it there.
Whats funny i had an idea like this but it was meant more as a drama where the guy has to ask if it was all real or a coma as he struggles to survive the world and himself. With no proof
Actually, I’d still consider it an Isekai. Just a reverse isekai; The “normal” world is now strange to him. Meaning he got Isekai’ed into the “real” world?
My mom's commentary, in order: "I remember Tokyo Mew Mew! A couple of my clients (my mom is a therapist) liked it back in the day. I hope they let the ballerina and wolf girl kiss." And then she laughed as I paused, looked up what she was talking about, and found out that there is in fact a Mew Mew who does ballet poses and she is in fact in love with a wolf-eared teammate. "I don't like that everyone who mentions One Piece says it requires binge-reading or binge-watching. How long IS this thing?!" "Trust me, you don't want to know." "I'm watching this anime. It reminds me of art school." "I'm adopting this boy. He needs support and affection." "I'm adopting this girl." "Mom, she has a dad and a nanny." "So she needs a mom, is what you're saying." "I would've preferred a battle to my graduation. Ever worn a graduation robe when it's 105F out? I hated it. Fire might've been cooler." "They both remind me of your Aunt Judy." "Why?!" "I don't know. Something about anime girls with guns just makes me want to call her and see how she's doing." "I'm not adopting these two, but I'm making them a lasagna. They look overworked. Poor kids." "We're not going to think about what it says about the animators that they made a hot mom the main character can legally have sex with. They're not my patients, I'm not obligated to help them." "He's kind of hot." "MOM!" "He wants to help people and he worked himself to death! I'm allowed to admire that." "You are literally MARRIED." "Your dad has Seven of Nine, I can have - what's the anime nerd term for this? Boywife?" "NO. No, it's - it's husbando." And then I silently took 10000 psychic damage from this conversation. "Oh, anime has soaps? I loved soap operas in the 80's! This is neat, you and your friends can watch your soap together like my friends and I did." "This is my new soap."
Call of the night, oh my god what a show. I’ve never seen anything that uses atmosphere to this degree. The vibes, the art, the promise of romance, it’s EVERYTHING that I needed
the manga hasn't even quite gotten to the full romance part yet lmao. there's a lot of teasing of it and it's definitely heading in that direction, but its not quite there
Tokyo Mew Mew New is absolutely perfect for anyone who loves magical girls and is getting REAL TIRED of the "tragical girl" trend It's a straightforward and earnest soft & sparkly brain vacation, and im very happy to have it
@@Mirality to be fair, the concept is very tame compared to alot of anime lol (not saying it isn't weird but more, people already ignore worse things in other anime)
@@Mirality unfortunately the only times magical girls get to choose to be a magical girl after being given all the information is certain seasons of Pretty Cure. Other than that it's very "here's magic, go fight a monster good luck"
I wasn't expecting much from Call of the Night, but when I watched the first episode I was immediately flung back to a few years ago when I found myself in Times Square at 3AM. I was the only soul around, and I just remember standing underneath the lights and feeling both infinitesimally small and so incredibly free. That's the vibe I got with Call, and now I'm hooked. The tummy didn't hurt either.
As a pharmacist myself, I was already impressed with Parallel World Pharmacy's intro, utilizing lewis structures and ball models for water and I only hope it continues that scientific accuracy as it goes on. Mixed with the magic aspect and *gasp* a non-pervert main character who isn't pining for a harem, I think this show really has some potential! Side-note: It helps that Elen-sensei is a babe!
Magic aside, the show is 100% accurate to what pharmacy schools make you believe when they're trying to trick you into studying it. I love the writing so far but I also hate the fact that it hits too close to home for me.
It's interesting to see an isekai protagonist who was actually good at something before getting isekai'd, and brings it over into his new life. Kinda like 'world's best assassin' from a couple seasons ago. Also, comparing it to 'drug store in another world' is the perfect showcase of why you should consider intended demographics in your reviews. Yes, they are both isekai about a guy running a pharmacy, but 'drug store' was clearly aimed at children, so bashing it for simple writing and humour aimed at 6-year-olds kind of defeats the point of a recommendations video.
As someone who watched Tokyo Mew Mew as exactly it's demographic back in the day, Yazzy is not overreacting even a little bit. She's completely right. Also the original English dub was a fucking crime.
My sister and I wanted that dub to burn in hell. We both liked the OG Tokyo Mew Mew. Lmfao Yazzy tho - her face says it all. The only thing is I wish they have reused the OG music. It’s nostalgic af.
Honestly, I saw Uncle From Another World and thought, "This is another power fantasy isekai with an ugly bastard instead." But, I saw the premise and I saw the first couple minutes, it got me really good.
@@nicefifteen8431 Sort of. There's that, but also flashbacks which the current characters can watch and comment on. Uncle was OP, but weirdly lacked genre savvy. (As mentioned, he issekaied into a world that didn't quite line up with his concept of fantasy tropes.)
@@nicefifteen8431 Kind of a SoL Fantasy about an Uncle who returned from being isekaied. It interspersed between the current day and the movie time flashback way. The uncle is OP but having actual nerd level communication skills and an average face made his life there interesting.
@@nicefifteen8431 ahhh... it's mostly just a fish out of water comedy; the uncle is a fish out of water in modern japan, and his isekai adventures were a giant fish out of water horror fest; basically while the uncle got a terrible lot in the other world, he also was completely genre unsavvy, so a lot of the good fortune he got, which would typically be part of some sort of wish fulfillment isekai fantasy he simply passed by, ignored or ran away from not recognizing the "standard" isekai tropes of tsundere and yandere harem girls hunting him down. His treatment of the sweet but tragically tsundere elf girl is comedy gold, as he often takes her 100% literally, and misses every single effort she makes to help, love or even associate with him (to say nothing for the comedy gold with the yandere ice sword/girl)
I'm genuinely impressed by Lycoris. The main character is an optimist and pacifist yes, but even 3 episodes in it's clear that those ideologies do not come at the cost of realistic expectations for the world around her. She's skilled in both battle and strategy and demonstrates clear understanding of the field she's in. And she uses those skills to thrive despite refusing to kill. Much more well adjusted and wise than I was expecting. Her deuteragonist could also easily fit into a tired anime trope -- that of the emotionless, violent lancer -- but instead shows us her hand early on and wears her heart on her sleeve when the situation calls for it. Yes she's adjusted to the life of an assassin, but that doesn't make her cold or heartless like others in the world think of her. Together these two make a well-balanced, fun to watch duo. Their personalities and ideologies bounce off each other beautifully and I can't wait to watch more.
"Armor Piercing Rubber Bullets" I feel like it will be near impossible to figure out a more non-violent oxymoron than this (unless if we go with a possible "Lightsabers that can melt doors, but don't cut limbs," and that's really stretching the suspension of disbelief).
@@dairenoh693 That's also understandable. We may both have different ideas for why the pricing's so expensive in The States, but we would both agree that the pricing nevertheless is expensive. I just haven't heard very many good things about the quality of government healthcare. Our stuff may be expensive, but the quality of our healthcare seems to surpass that of other places.
As someone caught up with Call Of The Night’s manga, it is sincerely one of my, if not, my favorite manga ever. And the anime does it justice. If you only watch 1 anime, watch this.
Uncle from another world really does have an interesting approach to the genre. Lots of good jokes with a fun, generation gap theme in how the uncle and nephew try to connect and look out for each other. The flashback approach to the fantasy story lets the nephew act as a representation for the audience, as he loses his mind at all the events that the uncle is blatantly missing. It has a real melancholic feel to it sometimes as well, since you know there isn't likely to be a proper happy ending to the uncle's story; he already left that world behind when we first meet him. Not to mention you often get the feeling that he's genuinely traumatized by the things he's been through. There's potential for a lot of heart in this comedy. Also raptors. Mustn't forget the raptors.
@@Captain1nsaneo Watch episode 3 and you'll understand why he acts like that lol. His 'friend' was an absolutely little turd and actually has a pretty bad personality to this day. Her only saving grace is that she's inexplicably interested in the nephew and she's pretty hot
Yeah it's the hit show of the season for me with no contest. The thing I like about Ojisan is that you know he will never change. He spent what, 17 years in that other world and none of his experiences there were enough to fundamentally change his outlook on life. And even if those beautiful other land girls might've thought they loved him, maybe what he gave them was what they really needed? Would they actually want to continue to be with Ojisan, I doubt it. So it does have some character depth for sure, although the art and comedy proves the biggest selling point.
A month out it feels like not many people are talking about it. I may just be in the wrong circles, but for me even though it is a comedy, under the surface I sense a poignant message about how we can help others process their struggles that we are so often oblivious to in ourselves. Uncle missed all the good things in the other world because he was surrounded by many terrible events (some of his own creation, many I imagine are not) and it’s hinted that the nephew’s family fell apart because of uncle’s coma and he struggled to find his footing in high school so both struggle to reciprocate the care they receive from others. In a lot of ways, though not as obvious as Violet Evergarden, it feels like a show about processing traumatic events and readjusting to life after through the lens of comedy.
Parallel-world Pharmacy is everything I wish Drugstore in Another World was. Like Dr. Stone but leaning more into Isekai. I only wish I could find the light novels... Edit: spelling
Right? I'm so happy other people are enjoying it's concept and execution so far too!!! I got so excited by the end of the first episode, I was really hoping people noticed this one!
It also kind of gives off the same vibe as that "assassin in another world" isekai that came out this past fall. A skilled individual who wakes up as a young boy using his skills from the past life to be overpowered in a more believable way. I really enjoyed that show so I think I'll like Pharmacy too :)
Same with me i find that pharmacy into a parallel world has very good story plot i watched a lot of isekai and the most god-tier isekai for me is mushoku tensei and pharmacy to another world picks my interest
Atleast the "incest chicken" isn't actually incest (as step siblings with 0 blood relation to eachother its not biological incest, and since they weren't raised together as siblings it isn't mentally incest). Its litterally if your dad married your girlfriend's mom which retroactively makes it weird. "Incest chicken" is still a hilarious description for it though.
I’ve been reading Made in Abyss for the last 4 years or so and I FINALLY got around to watching the anime this week. Binged all of Season 1 over the course of two nights and I’m waiting for my blu rays of the movies to come in before I start Season 2. I’m SO excited, because that Narehate Village arc is… seriously something else. Thank you for this video, perfect timing. Some of these will surely keep me occupied in the meantime. That vampire night one in particular sounds right up my alley. Update: Just watched the first episode of Call of the Night, and yeah. This show gets it. I've been the nocturnal type my whole life; when I was Ko's age and younger, I'd stay up all night reading or playing video games. As an adult, I used to work in a 24-hour office where I worked from 6pm to 6am, and I loved the hours. These days, I sleep during the day, and I take evening classes at school. I stay up all night every night, and now and then I'll go to IHOP or some other 24-hour place at 2am just to chill and read comics. There's this beautiful, intangible freedom the night brings. Everyone else is asleep and it's like you have the whole world to yourself. The moon, the lights, the colors, it's perfect, and this show represents all of that so well. As a bonus, Call of the Night has a sexy vampire manic pixie dream girl with tummy who looks like Himiko Toga from HeroAca? Nazuma new best girl. I hope the rest of the season can keep it up, because Episode 1 delivers so hard.
Lycoris Recoil is absolutely my favorite new show of the season. I think you misdiagnosed Takina's personality a bit (she's definitely laser focused on sucking up to DA and the possibility of not being able to rejoin headquarters really breaks her up, and her disobeying orders was an isolated judgement call during a communications blackout), but her and Chisato's dynamic is a lot of fun and Chisato herself is just... An absolute fucking gem. I love Chisato so much. Oh and the action is really good, A-1 has been outdoing themselves recently.
Also helps that it is an original story, and it is so tightly written and storyboarded. The conspiracy, worldbuilding, and character development are all interlaced across the episodes seamlessly. The world feels alive and lived-in before the audience starts observing it, and it is frequently making callbacks to things we saw episodes ago. My favorite example of this is seeing Chisato shoot with her pistol held very close to herself in across all the episodes including the 1st, and by the 3rd, she's scolding a fellow Lycoris in a training exercise by grappling her and taking her weapon from her for extending her arms out too far. The John Wick comparison is a fair one to make because there's a lot of realistic technique backing the handwave stuff. All beautifully animated.
@@Justin_0241 They are both subsidiaries of Aniplex. I'm pretty sure what happened is that A-1 Pictures started to become a more attractive place to work. Losing the weight of Seven Deadly Sins probably helped a lot
Lycoris Recoil easily became the anime that intrigued me the most this season. There's just something about teaching a "killer" how to live life and the character interactions in this show that makes it so precious.
0:31 It's actually Love Live Superstar that is returning this season. Yes there is a new Sunshine series called "Genjitsu No Yohane" that's being made but that won't be until 2023
Dude this video couldn’t have dropped at a more perfect time. I will spare you the details but know I just teared up with joy in a change in input on a whim. Love you man. Keep it coming (or take a break; you do you 💙) (Under 10 minutes gang)
Bless you Geoff for always marking the sponsored segments. I just wanted to let you know it is heavily appreciated. Ironically enough makes me more open to actually take a look at the sponsor because it doesn't feel as forced.
@@bobbenson6825 On top of that, he actually knows how to sell the sponsor. I didn't know Opera GX had a ram limiter for websites. I thought it's features were purely cosmetic.
@@bobbenson6825 you should watch the internet comment etiquette sponsor spots... those are actually worth watching.... the nord pass wizard is great... and there is also Nobbleberry
The anime which has promising start but then butchered the whole scientifical stuffs on its anime after its few episodes after the MC discover magic, therefore it disappointed me. I hope Pharmacist in Another World wouldn't take the similar disappointing path
One thing you gotta know about Call of the Night is that the OP and ED are a pair of absolute bangers by the Rapper and DJ duo Creepy Nuts. The ED in particular, Yoshifuka no Uta, is the song the manga was named for.
I just love how nerdy the gun animations are in Lycoris, it really comes through that the director either really likes guns or John Wick. And the guns so far look pretty accurate in the details aswell...
Okay, so I’ve not heard of Lycoris Recoil, but the bullets aren’t as dumb as they seem on the surface. In theory, frangible rounds could both penetrate armor and be less lethal. A little bit of unobtanium handwaving with the binding, and you could sinter some UHMW polyethylene or something similar into a projectile that will pierce soft body armor or thin metal but explode harmlessly on contact with flesh. There are already lethal variants that do something similar, though they penetrate into the target before the binding releases. The real trouble would be holding a polymer together long enough to punch through armor; it’s not nearly as dense as metal and won’t sinter in the same ways. Still, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
What I noticed too is that it isn't armor, it's the car door of a generic white van. Still a little odd that something that pierces a car door is non-lethal and non-piercing, but given how thin a lot of car panels seem to be currently (I imagine lightweight is better gas mileage) and I think many are plastic or fiberglass now too, it really doesn't seem too farfetched. Especially considering they seem to be designed to knock you off your feet despite dissipating against actual armor or skin, so they have to have some good bit of force behind them. I'm no physics expert to be sure, but I also think piercing hard/tensioned material like a car door could with some material tweaking be easier for a fast bullet than a soft, malleable material like flesh or cloth. Like the difference between trying to cut loose plastic vs. tensioned cloth. Still a weird decision on the animators part, but I guess either a line got crossed with the writer's or there was supposed to be some kinda reloading scene for us to notice a purposeful switch that jut didn't happen or get emphasized enough.
I vaguely recall seeing something in the early 00s about a bullet technology that was able to pierce through personal metal armor plates but couldn't penetrate drywall because it reduced itself to sand when it tried to. Of course, this wasn't meant to be a "less lethal" type of round as it worked like hollow point rounds on drugs when travelling through flesh, but the concept of some sort of pullet that is able to punch through a car door but not penetrate skin isn't completely unheard of.
@@Kalatash Frangible rounds. Basically, powdered metal gets mixed with a binder and formed into a projectile under heat and pressure. Think of them like hollowpoints on steroids. They dump all of their energy into the target rather than passing through. Different combinations of materials and binders yield different results, and I have heard of less lethal versions. Still feels like getting hit by a fastball from a Major League Baseball pitcher, and can absolutely kill if they hit the wrong place from too close a distance, but in general they behave like they do in the show, minus penetrating cover. That’s the part that’s hard to swallow.
@@molluscumlore The average 9mm projectile carries something like 400-500 ft-lbs of energy, depending on a few different factors. While that’s not spectacular in absolute terms, it’s more than enough to get the job done in most situations. After watching the show, I’m fairly certain my frangible round hypothesis is what the writers had in mind, that is to say, powderized high density polymer compressed into a projectile with a binder that releases on impact with soft tissue. There’s more than enough energy there to go through sheet metal and clothing. The trick is to find a binder that can hold the projectile together while it punches through said sheet metal and clothing, while also allowing the projectile break up when it hits soft tissue. It would have to be a near instant release, or the bullet would penetrate into the target and cause significant damage.
This and the replies genuinely make wonder if you work in a plastic factory. I once worked somewhere that rented office space inside a plastic business and I'd read the plastic business magazines when I wasn't on the clock and boy, howdy, I didn't understand everything. Like, at all. But I wanted to. Like, what does all this plastic terminology mean? Why do you need a color sorter and remover? Where do the colors go when they're removed? That is just the tip of the iceberg.
I can't believe we've never had a post-isekai like Uncle From Another World yet, it seems like such a simple concept and yet a genuinely interesting premise to watch
While it's a completely different tone, you might want to look up Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero. The basic premise is that getting isekaied has become so common that the ones who make it back are sent to a school to basically end up as special forces. The main character is interesting in that he's confident and takes no bullshit. He's also a womanizer who has the unexplained ability to remove a lady's undergarments while she's still dressed. Whether you're into that last part or not, he's an oddly refreshing MC considering how isekai MCs tend to be the socially awkward guy who somehow manages to attract a bunch of women regardless. Admittedly, despite taking place in Japan, it does end up feeling similar to other "magic school" anime, but it does technically count as post-isekai. Of course, if you meant your comment in the sense of "isekaied person comes back to normal, modern day Japan with powers intact", then this wouldn't really count, and I agree it's odd we haven't really seen it before now. Uncle From Another World might very well start a trend if it does well.
Tokyo Mew Mew New is already my anime of the season!! It means everything to me as a long time fan seeing it rebooted, I remember waking up to Mew Mew Power on 4Kids at like 6 in the morning so enthralled by it. My first magical girl anime and my favorite all these years later! 😸🍓💗✨
this is why us nerds that don't keep up with the newest anime stuff need you geoff, i had no idea i'd been waiting 8 years for a second season of the devil is a part timer and i would've gone completely unaware of its' existence. keep it up my man. also always great to see yazy
Thank you for mentioning Yurei Deco, I swear it's the most underrated show of the season. Admittedly I'm a sucker for the Science Saru style, but I've been really enjoying it so far and can't wait to see where it goes
Isekai Ojisan is amazing. Been hyped for it ever since the anime adaptation was announced. The manga is SO MUCH FUN. I hope the anime gives it its fair share of love and care
It absolutely does so far. Some of the best art of the season, and it's not even an anime that should be trading on art, it's a comedy through and through. But it's impeccably produced. It's gonna be a cult classic without a doubt, funniest anime I can remember seeing for a LONG time, hell I'll say it it's funnier even than Konosuba. And I'm only three episodes in.
It’s me, I’m the one who has been waiting for Tokyo Mew Mew to get a reboot. I watched the whole thing as a kid on youtube when I was like 10. I was obsessed.
Lycoris Recoil has been so enjoyable for me so far, Chisato is a gem, I love how strongly she holds to her principles and desire to help people, and I can’t wait to see more of her and Takina’s dynamic. Plus, it eases the pain of cringing through Rent A Girlfriend the day before My Stepmom’s Daughter is My Ex is unexpectedly enjoyable as well
I don't make comments often, but I really need to thank you for making these summary videos. There is too much quality anime that gets pumped out each season. Only so much time to watch them. And I would have passed. up some gems like Odd Taxi, A Couple of Cuckoos, and a lot of unusual isekai's like Slime Taoshite 300. So many unique ideas out there.
This is a really good lineup. Rarely does more than like 6 out of 11 from your lists really grab my attention, but I had to go write down every single show mentioned for viewing. Can't wait to look at these gorgeous visuals and enjoy the comedic funnies. Thanks for the list, homes.
SoL is one of my favorite genres, and I loved the art in Arsnotoria, but I didn't vibe with it enough to reach the end of the first episode. Everything else I've watched, 100% agree that they deserve to be on the list, and I'm going to have to look at a few of the others as well.
Lycoris Recoil is my personal most hyped anime of the season, but because they announced a simuldub, I've been waiting to pick it up. If it goes a few more weeks without the dub in sight, I might just watch the sub tho lol
@@bilicacko I might, but gonna give it a few more weeks. Not like there's any rush to be watching on a weekly basis, if I'm gonna catch up to the sub in a day anyways might as well give the dub another few weeks to try to start airing
Prima Doll - is the hidden gem of the season. A show about human-like AI robots with PTSD after war. Original plot (no manga/LN), superb visuals, cute characters.
Garnt convinces me to read Domestic Girlfriend Geoff convinces me to watch My Step-Mom's Daughter is my Ex What are yall doing to me 😂 Also that incest chicken line was GOLD
I actually might check some of these anime out and see what sticks. Currently, I’m watching the FullMetal Alchemist series (both the 2003 and Brotherhood) including their specials and movies. Thanks for this new video Mother’s Basement, have a great day/night 👍
Then you're screwed, if you've ever seen an MAL list they always go on and on that FMA is the best anime ever and nothing compares. If you even suggest that another anime may be just as good or better they will shout you down and down vote anything you like. You've peaked at FMA.
Best opera gx ad Ive seen. Actually got me to download it instead of skipping past. Show this comment to opera and ask for more money next time because you killed the delivery on this one.
24:23 The one true MVP show out of the entire season is finally here (Although as a personal favorite i would also mention Kami Kuzu Idol / Phantom of the Idol) 24:35 Epilogue Isekai would be the most accurate title
I've been reading the Call Of The Night manga in anticipation for the anime, and it's definitely one of my favorites. Can't wait to see how the anime progresses!
The bit at the end had me in TEARS. I always have so much fun when you and Yazy collab. Additionally, as someone who personally dreams of roaming the empty city streets at night and finding a world of wonder there but feels unsafe doing so, I'll have to watch Call of the Night. Thanks again for the recommendations, Geoff! Ya never let me down.
i watched the first episode of the: "my stepmoms daughter is my ex" anime thinking it was a sweet romance because i did not see the english title didn't really read the japanese one and in the summary i read all it said was: "a couple of middle school that fell out of love meet again in high school". Lets just say i expected something different so i dropped that show hard
I'm not sure how the anime will pan out but I binged Ayumu before the season started and loved that. Add on made in Abyss S2 and I've got my 2 shows. My friend also likes Call of the Night so I may try that as well. Lots going on this season!
Now he has to "uplift" "Mundane World" into a "Magitech World", by bringing the spells & artifacts from his Isekai´s "Terra Mystica" so they can be analized. -> It is basically the other "pole" of Parallel World Pharmacy, bringing balance to the omniverse [ Just like how some wise purple titan god likes it ]
Here the 'Post' is being used more like postmodern. Which actually fits the anime perfectly because it's an incredible sendup of the genre. Absolutely hilarious show, great art, great characters, can't wait for the rest.
Seeing Devil is a Part Timer finally get a sequel gives me hope that one day Monster Musume may get a second season. That aside, Engage Kiss is both so confusing and so intriguing. Like there was so much exposition in episode 3 and yet I still have so many questions.
It gives me hope that Rosario+Vampire might someday get the FMA Brotherhood treatment. Since Season 2 of the manga was where it really came into its own, whereas season 2 of the anime was a complete dumpster fire.
@@RedXlV oh hell yes Rosario Vampire was one of my favorite series when I was younger. I hated how they butchered the story in the anime adaptation. The second part of the manga was so much better and more interesting than the anime portrayal. They leaned hard into the comedy harem parts of the series. I wish they'd do another season that covers the Fairy Tale part of the story
@@Nshadowtail I mean if they've been able to get shows like Redo of Healer, How Not To Summon a Demon Lord, and Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory on the air, I'm sure they could figure something out for Monmusu. They did a good job censoring the first season's chapters while still keeping the story and comedy the same
0:42 You could have say "That one is so special it deserves its own video" 13:57 SPD Power Rangers are probably one of the few type of combatant that is able to tear the enemy apart while still capturing them non-lethally that i can think off..... maybe the donbrothers too but that only applies to the type of villain they face against 23:01 so that's how someone can be step-twin....
My god you’re a genius. I’ve been obsessed with COTN for the last few years in manga form but you’re 100% right. I think the manga and anime subconsciously gave me FLCL vibes. I never noticed it! 😮
Heads up though: It's changed studios. The first season was done by White Fox (Re: Zero, Steins; Gate, and Goblin Slayer) and this second season is by Studio 3Hz (SAO: Alternative and Princess Principal) So there's a serious down grade in the animation and all the character art has changed slightly. It's noticeable.
I've read the pharmacy isekai thing and I can't help but feel it would be so much better if he didn't get special isekai protagonist powers. His knowledge of medicine was more than enough to make it interesting, being the most special magic boy takes away quite bit from the story.
You know what goes _great_ with a debatably original cheat power that requires your hero to work hard and think harder about any problems he wants to solve, potentially educating the audience about how experts in the field do their job? A significantly _less_ original cheat power that lets him bypass a lot of that work, thought, and educational value!
My thoughts exactly. The initial premise seems interesting, but as soon as we reached the part about the god of medicine giving him ultra-fantastic magical powers on top of it, my train of though immediately switched tracks to "okay, so it's just another OP protagonist anime, but they thought making the hero a doctor rather than a warrior would make it original."
That's what stopped my interest in watching it. I didn't really like the idea of the magic wizard fight it would have been okay without it in my opnion of course
Consider reading "Queen with a Scalpel!" Sort of a... reverse-post-isekai, going by the way this video describes things. Tyrant in fantasy not-Britain gets executed, wakes up as a kid in the modern world, trains as a surgeon, then ends up back as her teenage self in not-Britain. No special powers other than knowledge from her past lives.
You should just watch Greys Anatomy or something like that. No isekai needed. The point of the show is, yes he's op, but in order to heal people he needs to really formulate a real medicine with his power and that is a challenge, it's not like he just abracadabrad people into health.
I read what’s been scanlated of parallel world pharmacy and the thing that impressed me most was actually the hard working amateur translation team that managed to correctly translate some of the really technical jargon.
I was expected that gun thing to be held by yourself in a split screen type situation and then a whole other person stepped out and I was genuinely caught off guard. I'm so used to RUclipsrs being their own extras.
I watched the first episode of Call of the Night, and i cuaght up to the manga within the same day. It gets amazingly good, and now i'm stuck waiting for translations of the next chapters. Definitely keep wathcing it!
Just saw the first couple episodes of Uncle From Another World and it's epically hilarious! Definitely recommend. Excited to check out the rest from this list!
In addition to the ones you mentioned and some sequels or continuing stuff, I am enjoying Shine on! Bakumatsu Bad Boys. Which is a very by the numbers shounen battle anime in some ways but includes elements of the Seven Samurai/the Magnificent 7, Yojimbo/Fistful of Dollars and the Dirty Dozen where a bunch of quirky condemned criminals are conscripted to pretend to be a group of elite samurai in a Japan on the cusp of the Meiji restoration under assault from a bizarre group of evil mask wearing samurai who wield dark magic swords and go on about dying for the nation.
Technically speaking, the rubber bullets aren't 100% "armor piercing". All "rubber" bullets are composed of a metal core that is coated (lightly) in rubber and plastic. Therefore they are capable of punching through car doors at point blank range. Notice, that it punched through the door, but not the person's skin.
i love these vids. i await them eagerly every season. even if /when i dont watch any of the recommendation and i usually only find 1-2 worth sticking with , i still enjoy keeping up on the options. the only complaint i would have and it is a selfish nit pick to be sure is a mention of if/ when the eng dubs are available if known. ( i know blasphemy that im not watching in sub LOL). barring that then giving the platform the show is on. i know most if not all are on Crunchyroll but just for the ones on like hidive or netflix a shout out would be cool to make find easier. i will keep loving your content and these in particular regardless
Call of the Night is sooo good! Everything just clicks - music, characters, art, seyu perfomance and just overall chill vibes of night city. In two episodes it made me feel like it's the best show that I have watched this year or maybe even years. Hope it keeps the quality in future episodes and people don't sleep on this one.
While I know it is past your cut off date, since it comes out in August, I do hope that if Fuuto PI is good (or even trash) it gets discussed at some point. It is nice to see people being able to get into Tokusatsu series through anime, and with it being the anime sequel to a live action 2010 Kamen Rider season I think it would be interesting to hear about it from the anituber side of things rather than the tokutuber side.
THANK YOU! I’ve been saying Call of the Night is essentially lofi Fooly Cooly, you got your angsty teenage boy and an otherworldly female character with questionable morals, and absolutely 🔥🔥 soundtrack and vibes.
I was hoping Drugstore could be described as "the discount brand child of Ancient Magus Bride, and Apothecary's Diaries, with minor influences from it's aunt Ascendance of a Bookworm" The same way I could say that about the depressingly short lived manga "How to Treat Magical Beasts". I don't think Pharmacy is going to be that either. But that's fine, because I was just hoping Drugstore would have a redeeming quality, and that's not an issue this time.

Tokyo Mew Mew New is basically all I care about
Probably Engage Kiss, i like original series, kinda reminds me to takt op. destiny
Uncle from another world
Call of the night speaks to me no anime has for some time. Night owls unite
Tokyo Mew Mew New and Shadows House!
Uncle from Another World would probably be best described as Post-Isekai. Since it’s about a man who awakens from a coma brought to him by Japan’s Most Wanted Isuzu transport truck with magic powers and a sincere sense of early 90s nostalgia, I’d definitely put it there.
I've only seen like 1 other Post-isekai besides that one
Whats funny i had an idea like this but it was meant more as a drama where the guy has to ask if it was all real or a coma as he struggles to survive the world and himself. With no proof
Actually, I’d still consider it an Isekai. Just a reverse isekai;
The “normal” world is now strange to him. Meaning he got Isekai’ed into the “real” world?
@@Swat_Dennis fair enough
@@bruhbruh.-. it's nice timing, we had a Post JRPG last season 'I'm quitting Heroing'
My mom's commentary, in order:
"I remember Tokyo Mew Mew! A couple of my clients (my mom is a therapist) liked it back in the day. I hope they let the ballerina and wolf girl kiss." And then she laughed as I paused, looked up what she was talking about, and found out that there is in fact a Mew Mew who does ballet poses and she is in fact in love with a wolf-eared teammate.
"I don't like that everyone who mentions One Piece says it requires binge-reading or binge-watching. How long IS this thing?!" "Trust me, you don't want to know."
"I'm watching this anime. It reminds me of art school."
"I'm adopting this boy. He needs support and affection."
"I'm adopting this girl." "Mom, she has a dad and a nanny." "So she needs a mom, is what you're saying."
"I would've preferred a battle to my graduation. Ever worn a graduation robe when it's 105F out? I hated it. Fire might've been cooler."
"They both remind me of your Aunt Judy." "Why?!" "I don't know. Something about anime girls with guns just makes me want to call her and see how she's doing."
"I'm not adopting these two, but I'm making them a lasagna. They look overworked. Poor kids."
"We're not going to think about what it says about the animators that they made a hot mom the main character can legally have sex with. They're not my patients, I'm not obligated to help them."
"He's kind of hot." "MOM!" "He wants to help people and he worked himself to death! I'm allowed to admire that." "You are literally MARRIED." "Your dad has Seven of Nine, I can have - what's the anime nerd term for this? Boywife?" "NO. No, it's - it's husbando." And then I silently took 10000 psychic damage from this conversation.
"Oh, anime has soaps? I loved soap operas in the 80's! This is neat, you and your friends can watch your soap together like my friends and I did."
"This is my new soap."
how long did this take u to type out? just wondering
Your mom sounds like she's a lot of fun to hang around with
B O Y W I F E
Your moms the kind of therapist I need in my life.
I love the fact that apparently your mom's new soap is "Uncle from Another World".
Call of the night, oh my god what a show. I’ve never seen anything that uses atmosphere to this degree. The vibes, the art, the promise of romance, it’s EVERYTHING that I needed
There are anime that use atmosphere just as good, if not better
*cough cough* Mushoku Tensei *cough cough*
I thought i would like it since I love Monogatari but I fell asleep during the second episode
*Chef's kiss*
If I ever need to explain why I love staying up at night, I'll just recommend this show XD
monogatari series definitely have that same vibe
the manga hasn't even quite gotten to the full romance part yet lmao. there's a lot of teasing of it and it's definitely heading in that direction, but its not quite there
Tokyo Mew Mew New is absolutely perfect for anyone who loves magical girls and is getting REAL TIRED of the "tragical girl" trend
It's a straightforward and earnest soft & sparkly brain vacation, and im very happy to have it
If, y'know, you ignore the whole "we spliced your DNA without your consent and now you have to work in our cafe" thing.
(I do enjoy the show though.)
Okay, you actually sold me.
@@Mirality to be fair, the concept is very tame compared to alot of anime lol (not saying it isn't weird but more, people already ignore worse things in other anime)
@@Mirality unfortunately the only times magical girls get to choose to be a magical girl after being given all the information is certain seasons of Pretty Cure. Other than that it's very "here's magic, go fight a monster good luck"
True, they rarely give you _all_ the info. But at least most of the time they do ask first...

I wasn't expecting much from Call of the Night, but when I watched the first episode I was immediately flung back to a few years ago when I found myself in Times Square at 3AM. I was the only soul around, and I just remember standing underneath the lights and feeling both infinitesimally small and so incredibly free. That's the vibe I got with Call, and now I'm hooked.
The tummy didn't hurt either.
As a pharmacist myself, I was already impressed with Parallel World Pharmacy's intro, utilizing lewis structures and ball models for water and I only hope it continues that scientific accuracy as it goes on. Mixed with the magic aspect and *gasp* a non-pervert main character who isn't pining for a harem, I think this show really has some potential! Side-note: It helps that Elen-sensei is a babe!
not pining a harem yet!
Magic aside, the show is 100% accurate to what pharmacy schools make you believe when they're trying to trick you into studying it. I love the writing so far but I also hate the fact that it hits too close to home for me.
Having read the manga, I think you won’t be disappointed.
It's interesting to see an isekai protagonist who was actually good at something before getting isekai'd, and brings it over into his new life. Kinda like 'world's best assassin' from a couple seasons ago. Also, comparing it to 'drug store in another world' is the perfect showcase of why you should consider intended demographics in your reviews. Yes, they are both isekai about a guy running a pharmacy, but 'drug store' was clearly aimed at children, so bashing it for simple writing and humour aimed at 6-year-olds kind of defeats the point of a recommendations video.
Sounds cool!
As someone who watched Tokyo Mew Mew as exactly it's demographic back in the day, Yazzy is not overreacting even a little bit. She's completely right. Also the original English dub was a fucking crime.
My sister and I wanted that dub to burn in hell. We both liked the OG Tokyo Mew Mew. Lmfao Yazzy tho - her face says it all. The only thing is I wish they have reused the OG music. It’s nostalgic af.
Cut to me at 12 years old watching it on RUclips in parts 1 2 & 3 lol
The original English dub is what got child me into English sub because I saw that the dub had cut out episodes.
@@Havanah-ov4yt you understand my experience perfectly.

Honestly, I saw Uncle From Another World and thought, "This is another power fantasy isekai with an ugly bastard instead." But, I saw the premise and I saw the first couple minutes, it got me really good.
But what kind of series is it? Is it like a SOL comedy?
@@nicefifteen8431 Sort of. There's that, but also flashbacks which the current characters can watch and comment on. Uncle was OP, but weirdly lacked genre savvy. (As mentioned, he issekaied into a world that didn't quite line up with his concept of fantasy tropes.)
@@nicefifteen8431 Kind of a SoL Fantasy about an Uncle who returned from being isekaied. It interspersed between the current day and the movie time flashback way. The uncle is OP but having actual nerd level communication skills and an average face made his life there interesting.
@@nicefifteen8431 ahhh... it's mostly just a fish out of water comedy; the uncle is a fish out of water in modern japan, and his isekai adventures were a giant fish out of water horror fest; basically while the uncle got a terrible lot in the other world, he also was completely genre unsavvy, so a lot of the good fortune he got, which would typically be part of some sort of wish fulfillment isekai fantasy he simply passed by, ignored or ran away from not recognizing the "standard" isekai tropes of tsundere and yandere harem girls hunting him down. His treatment of the sweet but tragically tsundere elf girl is comedy gold, as he often takes her 100% literally, and misses every single effort she makes to help, love or even associate with him (to say nothing for the comedy gold with the yandere ice sword/girl)
i liked it quite a lot as well, it got me right where it hurts most
RIP sega consoles
I'm genuinely impressed by Lycoris. The main character is an optimist and pacifist yes, but even 3 episodes in it's clear that those ideologies do not come at the cost of realistic expectations for the world around her. She's skilled in both battle and strategy and demonstrates clear understanding of the field she's in. And she uses those skills to thrive despite refusing to kill. Much more well adjusted and wise than I was expecting.
Her deuteragonist could also easily fit into a tired anime trope -- that of the emotionless, violent lancer -- but instead shows us her hand early on and wears her heart on her sleeve when the situation calls for it. Yes she's adjusted to the life of an assassin, but that doesn't make her cold or heartless like others in the world think of her.
Together these two make a well-balanced, fun to watch duo. Their personalities and ideologies bounce off each other beautifully and I can't wait to watch more.
Chisato and Takina make an awesome pair, their dynamic feels genuine.
"Armor Piercing Rubber Bullets"
I feel like it will be near impossible to figure out a more non-violent oxymoron than this (unless if we go with a possible "Lightsabers that can melt doors, but don't cut limbs," and that's really stretching the suspension of disbelief).
You'll love Xenoblade Chronicles
I remember an episode of a Spiderman cartoon that featured a laser that could only cut inorganic material
If you've watched the "fight scene autopsies" of disney star wars, lightsabers have a number of properties most would consider... unnatural.
You can get rounds that have their hard outer case removed as they go through armour/metal - they are just very niche and rare .....
The bullets are just allergic to skin
Gotta love the premise of "save the world by introducing competent socialised healthcare".
I feel like we need more of that, and I'm Canadian.
Yeah, as someone who's been in America my entire life, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with you.
@@dairenoh693 Unfortunately, America is too obese for that to work
@@dairenoh693 As someone who lives in America my entire life, I have to disagree with you.
@@jeremiahnoar7504 Understandable. Although, I've heard many things about people's healthcare struggles (mostly to do with expensive pricing).
@@dairenoh693 That's also understandable. We may both have different ideas for why the pricing's so expensive in The States, but we would both agree that the pricing nevertheless is expensive. I just haven't heard very many good things about the quality of government healthcare. Our stuff may be expensive, but the quality of our healthcare seems to surpass that of other places.
As someone caught up with Call Of The Night’s manga, it is sincerely one of my, if not, my favorite manga ever. And the anime does it justice. If you only watch 1 anime, watch this.
Agreed. Even having read a lot of the others, this is the one to watch.
So I saw one clip of it on here, ended up reading the entire manga and was just... Wow. I need moar, and now.
What streaming service has it?
You wrote that with such boldness and sincerity i think Ill blindly watch that now.
I read a few chapters of the manga and it was alright. Maybe its just not my vibe or maybe I just needed to keep reading.
Uncle from another world really does have an interesting approach to the genre. Lots of good jokes with a fun, generation gap theme in how the uncle and nephew try to connect and look out for each other. The flashback approach to the fantasy story lets the nephew act as a representation for the audience, as he loses his mind at all the events that the uncle is blatantly missing.
It has a real melancholic feel to it sometimes as well, since you know there isn't likely to be a proper happy ending to the uncle's story; he already left that world behind when we first meet him. Not to mention you often get the feeling that he's genuinely traumatized by the things he's been through. There's potential for a lot of heart in this comedy.
Also raptors. Mustn't forget the raptors.
Yeah it's fun; could use the nephew being less trope-ish when it comes to his friend's advances though.
@@Captain1nsaneo Watch episode 3 and you'll understand why he acts like that lol. His 'friend' was an absolutely little turd and actually has a pretty bad personality to this day. Her only saving grace is that she's inexplicably interested in the nephew and she's pretty hot
Yeah it's the hit show of the season for me with no contest. The thing I like about Ojisan is that you know he will never change. He spent what, 17 years in that other world and none of his experiences there were enough to fundamentally change his outlook on life. And even if those beautiful other land girls might've thought they loved him, maybe what he gave them was what they really needed? Would they actually want to continue to be with Ojisan, I doubt it. So it does have some character depth for sure, although the art and comedy proves the biggest selling point.
A month out it feels like not many people are talking about it. I may just be in the wrong circles, but for me even though it is a comedy, under the surface I sense a poignant message about how we can help others process their struggles that we are so often oblivious to in ourselves. Uncle missed all the good things in the other world because he was surrounded by many terrible events (some of his own creation, many I imagine are not) and it’s hinted that the nephew’s family fell apart because of uncle’s coma and he struggled to find his footing in high school so both struggle to reciprocate the care they receive from others.
In a lot of ways, though not as obvious as Violet Evergarden, it feels like a show about processing traumatic events and readjusting to life after through the lens of comedy.
"First real tummy of thigh freedom" is a quote to live by if I've ever heard one.
If Devil is a Part-timer can come back after a decade, I have renewed hope that Yona of the Dawn will get a season 2.
It should! The manga is awesome.
Noragami!
Glad someone mentioned Yona, if there was ever an anime more deserving of a S2, it would be that imo
Kinda surprised no one mentioned NGNL... yet
Beware of monkey paws. We asked Index 3 from years and we got that abomination that killed the franchise.
Parallel-world Pharmacy is everything I wish Drugstore in Another World was. Like Dr. Stone but leaning more into Isekai. I only wish I could find the light novels...
Edit: spelling
Right? I'm so happy other people are enjoying it's concept and execution so far too!!! I got so excited by the end of the first episode, I was really hoping people noticed this one!
It also kind of gives off the same vibe as that "assassin in another world" isekai that came out this past fall. A skilled individual who wakes up as a young boy using his skills from the past life to be overpowered in a more believable way. I really enjoyed that show so I think I'll like Pharmacy too :)
It’s Knights and Magic all over again but with medicine now
Same with me i find that pharmacy into a parallel world has very good story plot i watched a lot of isekai and the most god-tier isekai for me is mushoku tensei and pharmacy to another world picks my interest
God I just ignored that shit hard thinking that it was the same thing. XD
Guess I probably gotta give it a shot now.
"Armor piercing rubber bullets"
"a high stakes game of Incest-Chicken"
"post-Isekai"
The mother's basement lexicon does it again
Atleast the "incest chicken" isn't actually incest (as step siblings with 0 blood relation to eachother its not biological incest, and since they weren't raised together as siblings it isn't mentally incest). Its litterally if your dad married your girlfriend's mom which retroactively makes it weird.
"Incest chicken" is still a hilarious description for it though.
My description of Engage Kiss, "so a cat fight breaks out in the middle of a demon fight". Definitely a unique way to lay out the character dynamics.
Now _that_ is an original concept. A hilarious one too.
I was never into romcoms but Engage Kiss hooked me
I thought Engage Kiss was a typical romcom, but then ep. 3 hit and there is a darkness there I like.
I’ve been reading Made in Abyss for the last 4 years or so and I FINALLY got around to watching the anime this week. Binged all of Season 1 over the course of two nights and I’m waiting for my blu rays of the movies to come in before I start Season 2. I’m SO excited, because that Narehate Village arc is… seriously something else.
Thank you for this video, perfect timing. Some of these will surely keep me occupied in the meantime. That vampire night one in particular sounds right up my alley.
Update: Just watched the first episode of Call of the Night, and yeah. This show gets it. I've been the nocturnal type my whole life; when I was Ko's age and younger, I'd stay up all night reading or playing video games. As an adult, I used to work in a 24-hour office where I worked from 6pm to 6am, and I loved the hours. These days, I sleep during the day, and I take evening classes at school. I stay up all night every night, and now and then I'll go to IHOP or some other 24-hour place at 2am just to chill and read comics. There's this beautiful, intangible freedom the night brings. Everyone else is asleep and it's like you have the whole world to yourself. The moon, the lights, the colors, it's perfect, and this show represents all of that so well. As a bonus, Call of the Night has a sexy vampire manic pixie dream girl with tummy who looks like Himiko Toga from HeroAca? Nazuma new best girl. I hope the rest of the season can keep it up, because Episode 1 delivers so hard.
I kinda want your life, as a fellow night owl but one who is chained to a 9 to 5.
Lycoris Recoil is absolutely my favorite new show of the season. I think you misdiagnosed Takina's personality a bit (she's definitely laser focused on sucking up to DA and the possibility of not being able to rejoin headquarters really breaks her up, and her disobeying orders was an isolated judgement call during a communications blackout), but her and Chisato's dynamic is a lot of fun and Chisato herself is just... An absolute fucking gem. I love Chisato so much.
Oh and the action is really good, A-1 has been outdoing themselves recently.
btw A-1 got some little improvement i guess after they were seperated from Aniplex and Cloverworks is now under the influence of Aniplex
Also helps that it is an original story, and it is so tightly written and storyboarded. The conspiracy, worldbuilding, and character development are all interlaced across the episodes seamlessly. The world feels alive and lived-in before the audience starts observing it, and it is frequently making callbacks to things we saw episodes ago.
My favorite example of this is seeing Chisato shoot with her pistol held very close to herself in across all the episodes including the 1st, and by the 3rd, she's scolding a fellow Lycoris in a training exercise by grappling her and taking her weapon from her for extending her arms out too far.
The John Wick comparison is a fair one to make because there's a lot of realistic technique backing the handwave stuff. All beautifully animated.
The ED song is a gem, can't stop listening to it! The OP is good too, that kicking each other's butt is true friendship goals.
@@Justin_0241 They are both subsidiaries of Aniplex. I'm pretty sure what happened is that A-1 Pictures started to become a more attractive place to work. Losing the weight of Seven Deadly Sins probably helped a lot
@@PIKMINROCK1 good thing for A-1 they never suffered the same thing as wht Hoods Entertainment did wht in de past
Lycoris Recoil easily became the anime that intrigued me the most this season. There's just something about teaching a "killer" how to live life and the character interactions in this show that makes it so precious.
read the manga "The Fable"
the premise is almost the same
0:31 It's actually Love Live Superstar that is returning this season. Yes there is a new Sunshine series called "Genjitsu No Yohane" that's being made but that won't be until 2023
"The Yakuza's guide to babysitting" is basically "what if we made a comedy out of Kiryu and Haruka's dynamic?"
And it's not even much comedy, at least from the first two episodes there were way more drama.
Dude this video couldn’t have dropped at a more perfect time. I will spare you the details but know I just teared up with joy in a change in input on a whim. Love you man. Keep it coming (or take a break; you do you 💙)

The anime which has promising start but then butchered the whole scientifical stuffs on its anime after its few episodes after the MC discover magic, therefore it disappointed me. I hope Pharmacist in Another World wouldn't take the similar disappointing path
One thing you gotta know about Call of the Night is that the OP and ED are a pair of absolute bangers by the Rapper and DJ duo Creepy Nuts. The ED in particular, Yoshifuka no Uta, is the song the manga was named for.
Easily OP and ED of the season. It's not close.

Add on to this the insert song from the last episode (also by Creepy Nuts). Absolute bangers
@@Robert-cl3zt the end is ok but the OP is meh , made in abyss OP is by far the best one
Underwhelming
I just love how nerdy the gun animations are in Lycoris, it really comes through that the director either really likes guns or John Wick. And the guns so far look pretty accurate in the details aswell...
Okay, so I’ve not heard of Lycoris Recoil, but the bullets aren’t as dumb as they seem on the surface. In theory, frangible rounds could both penetrate armor and be less lethal. A little bit of unobtanium handwaving with the binding, and you could sinter some UHMW polyethylene or something similar into a projectile that will pierce soft body armor or thin metal but explode harmlessly on contact with flesh. There are already lethal variants that do something similar, though they penetrate into the target before the binding releases. The real trouble would be holding a polymer together long enough to punch through armor; it’s not nearly as dense as metal and won’t sinter in the same ways. Still, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
What I noticed too is that it isn't armor, it's the car door of a generic white van. Still a little odd that something that pierces a car door is non-lethal and non-piercing, but given how thin a lot of car panels seem to be currently (I imagine lightweight is better gas mileage) and I think many are plastic or fiberglass now too, it really doesn't seem too farfetched. Especially considering they seem to be designed to knock you off your feet despite dissipating against actual armor or skin, so they have to have some good bit of force behind them. I'm no physics expert to be sure, but I also think piercing hard/tensioned material like a car door could with some material tweaking be easier for a fast bullet than a soft, malleable material like flesh or cloth. Like the difference between trying to cut loose plastic vs. tensioned cloth. Still a weird decision on the animators part, but I guess either a line got crossed with the writer's or there was supposed to be some kinda reloading scene for us to notice a purposeful switch that jut didn't happen or get emphasized enough.
I vaguely recall seeing something in the early 00s about a bullet technology that was able to pierce through personal metal armor plates but couldn't penetrate drywall because it reduced itself to sand when it tried to. Of course, this wasn't meant to be a "less lethal" type of round as it worked like hollow point rounds on drugs when travelling through flesh, but the concept of some sort of pullet that is able to punch through a car door but not penetrate skin isn't completely unheard of.
@@Kalatash Frangible rounds. Basically, powdered metal gets mixed with a binder and formed into a projectile under heat and pressure. Think of them like hollowpoints on steroids. They dump all of their energy into the target rather than passing through. Different combinations of materials and binders yield different results, and I have heard of less lethal versions. Still feels like getting hit by a fastball from a Major League Baseball pitcher, and can absolutely kill if they hit the wrong place from too close a distance, but in general they behave like they do in the show, minus penetrating cover. That’s the part that’s hard to swallow.
@@molluscumlore The average 9mm projectile carries something like 400-500 ft-lbs of energy, depending on a few different factors. While that’s not spectacular in absolute terms, it’s more than enough to get the job done in most situations. After watching the show, I’m fairly certain my frangible round hypothesis is what the writers had in mind, that is to say, powderized high density polymer compressed into a projectile with a binder that releases on impact with soft tissue. There’s more than enough energy there to go through sheet metal and clothing. The trick is to find a binder that can hold the projectile together while it punches through said sheet metal and clothing, while also allowing the projectile break up when it hits soft tissue. It would have to be a near instant release, or the bullet would penetrate into the target and cause significant damage.
This and the replies genuinely make wonder if you work in a plastic factory. I once worked somewhere that rented office space inside a plastic business and I'd read the plastic business magazines when I wasn't on the clock and boy, howdy, I didn't understand everything. Like, at all. But I wanted to. Like, what does all this plastic terminology mean? Why do you need a color sorter and remover? Where do the colors go when they're removed? That is just the tip of the iceberg.
I can't believe we've never had a post-isekai like Uncle From Another World yet, it seems like such a simple concept and yet a genuinely interesting premise to watch
While it's a completely different tone, you might want to look up Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero. The basic premise is that getting isekaied has become so common that the ones who make it back are sent to a school to basically end up as special forces.
The main character is interesting in that he's confident and takes no bullshit. He's also a womanizer who has the unexplained ability to remove a lady's undergarments while she's still dressed. Whether you're into that last part or not, he's an oddly refreshing MC considering how isekai MCs tend to be the socially awkward guy who somehow manages to attract a bunch of women regardless.
Admittedly, despite taking place in Japan, it does end up feeling similar to other "magic school" anime, but it does technically count as post-isekai.
Of course, if you meant your comment in the sense of "isekaied person comes back to normal, modern day Japan with powers intact", then this wouldn't really count, and I agree it's odd we haven't really seen it before now. Uncle From Another World might very well start a trend if it does well.
Tokyo Mew Mew New is already my anime of the season!! It means everything to me as a long time fan seeing it rebooted, I remember waking up to Mew Mew Power on 4Kids at like 6 in the morning so enthralled by it. My first magical girl anime and my favorite all these years later! 😸🍓💗✨
this is why us nerds that don't keep up with the newest anime stuff need you geoff, i had no idea i'd been waiting 8 years for a second season of the devil is a part timer and i would've gone completely unaware of its' existence. keep it up my man. also always great to see yazy
Thank you for mentioning Yurei Deco, I swear it's the most underrated show of the season. Admittedly I'm a sucker for the Science Saru style, but I've been really enjoying it so far and can't wait to see where it goes
Isekai Ojisan is a True SEGA fanboy, every episodes he bring up my childhood memories...
Isekai Ojisan is amazing. Been hyped for it ever since the anime adaptation was announced. The manga is SO MUCH FUN. I hope the anime gives it its fair share of love and care
It absolutely does so far. Some of the best art of the season, and it's not even an anime that should be trading on art, it's a comedy through and through. But it's impeccably produced. It's gonna be a cult classic without a doubt, funniest anime I can remember seeing for a LONG time, hell I'll say it it's funnier even than Konosuba. And I'm only three episodes in.
It’s me, I’m the one who has been waiting for Tokyo Mew Mew to get a reboot. I watched the whole thing as a kid on youtube when I was like 10. I was obsessed.
Really does give those Sailor Moon vibes.
Lycoris Recoil has been so enjoyable for me so far, Chisato is a gem, I love how strongly she holds to her principles and desire to help people, and I can’t wait to see more of her and Takina’s dynamic. Plus, it eases the pain of cringing through Rent A Girlfriend the day before
My Stepmom’s Daughter is My Ex is unexpectedly enjoyable as well
I don't make comments often, but I really need to thank you for making these summary videos. There is too much quality anime that gets pumped out each season. Only so much time to watch them. And I would have passed. up some gems like Odd Taxi, A Couple of Cuckoos, and a lot of unusual isekai's like Slime Taoshite 300. So many unique ideas out there.
“Its not the only show though”
Immaculate transition good sire
Thank you for highlighting this season's best new waifu: Call of the Night's backgrounds.
Geoff really does just find the most uniquely entertaining ways to say things.
Yazzy!! She's right though, how could you forget Tokyo Mew Mew.
Tokyo Mew Mew New looks sick. Thanks for letting us know about the one to watch this season 💖
This is a really good lineup. Rarely does more than like 6 out of 11 from your lists really grab my attention, but I had to go write down every single show mentioned for viewing. Can't wait to look at these gorgeous visuals and enjoy the comedic funnies. Thanks for the list, homes.
SoL is one of my favorite genres, and I loved the art in Arsnotoria, but I didn't vibe with it enough to reach the end of the first episode. Everything else I've watched, 100% agree that they deserve to be on the list, and I'm going to have to look at a few of the others as well.
Seriously. I honestly was interested in every single one of these once he explained them
Dont worry, only 3 at max are axtually worth watching
Yazzy is legit terrifying and could end us all with the wicked nails. Thank you for letting us know about Mew Mew!
Lycoris Recoil is my personal most hyped anime of the season, but because they announced a simuldub, I've been waiting to pick it up. If it goes a few more weeks without the dub in sight, I might just watch the sub tho lol
i watch that anime also
I will be very curious who'll be the dubbed actress for Chisato. Her JP voice is wonderful and just so cheerful
Just watch the sub. VA for the main girl is really good. You won't regret it.
@@bilicacko I might, but gonna give it a few more weeks. Not like there's any rush to be watching on a weekly basis, if I'm gonna catch up to the sub in a day anyways might as well give the dub another few weeks to try to start airing
Love the Elaina pfp, I’ll also keep on the look out for the dub
Prima Doll - is the hidden gem of the season. A show about human-like AI robots with PTSD after war. Original plot (no manga/LN), superb visuals, cute characters.
Uncle from another world is actually hilarious glad it's on the list.
Garnt convinces me to read Domestic Girlfriend
Geoff convinces me to watch My Step-Mom's Daughter is my Ex
What are yall doing to me 😂 Also that incest chicken line was GOLD
Just skip the lightweight stuff and get KissXsis in your eyes! The parents don’t care and tell them they’re not blood related so anything goes 😂
@@HarryBaalzach It may or may not be on the list already lmao. Joey achieving nirvana after watching may or may not have convinced me.
I actually might check some of these anime out and see what sticks. Currently, I’m watching the FullMetal Alchemist series (both the 2003 and Brotherhood) including their specials and movies. Thanks for this new video Mother’s Basement, have a great day/night 👍
Then you're screwed, if you've ever seen an MAL list they always go on and on that FMA is the best anime ever and nothing compares. If you even suggest that another anime may be just as good or better they will shout you down and down vote anything you like. You've peaked at FMA.
@@seawind930 FMA fanbase is awful.
"From zero to 'uh oh, stepbro!' in 15 minutes flat"
Holy shit that's a new record, how long did Domestic girlfriend take?
Been using opera gx for several months now, didn’t know I could do most of this stuff. Thanks for showing me that wallpaper.
Best opera gx ad Ive seen. Actually got me to download it instead of skipping past. Show this comment to opera and ask for more money next time because you killed the delivery on this one.
Is no one going to talk about his glowing recommendation of Tokyo Mew Mew? It’s such a fantastic show.
Idk, since the rating is pretty bad (lower than 7), and also it looks way too girly for me, so have to put it on skip list.
Engage Kiss is surprisingly emotional and has very well done comedic timing. Definitely recommend.
You had me at Yakuza babysitter. He's not Kazuma Kiryu but maybe he's close enough ❤️
Almost teared up at episode 2 I am surprised it’s not being talked about a lot
Loved the video as usual, but Yazy at the end was the chef's kiss this production needed. Bless y'all!
24:23 The one true MVP show out of the entire season is finally here
(Although as a personal favorite i would also mention Kami Kuzu Idol / Phantom of the Idol)
24:35 Epilogue Isekai would be the most accurate title
after gikkuk took a break, i was sad, but now i found a cooler youtuber.
I've been reading the Call Of The Night manga in anticipation for the anime, and it's definitely one of my favorites. Can't wait to see how the anime progresses!
The bit at the end had me in TEARS. I always have so much fun when you and Yazy collab.
Additionally, as someone who personally dreams of roaming the empty city streets at night and finding a world of wonder there but feels unsafe doing so, I'll have to watch Call of the Night. Thanks again for the recommendations, Geoff! Ya never let me down.
You can tell when someone has been making recommendation videos for a long time when they start adding comedy sketch routines into the mix
i watched the first episode of the: "my stepmoms daughter is my ex" anime thinking it was a sweet romance because i did not see the english title didn't really read the japanese one and in the summary i read all it said was: "a couple of middle school that fell out of love meet again in high school".
Lets just say i expected something different so i dropped that show hard
Stepbro
I'm not sure how the anime will pan out but I binged Ayumu before the season started and loved that.
Add on made in Abyss S2 and I've got my 2 shows.
My friend also likes Call of the Night so I may try that as well.
Lots going on this season!
For some reason this season you've sold me on more anime than ever before, Im gonna give every single one of these a go
Let's just call Uncle from Another World "Post Isekai" then. It meant he was isekai-ed and came back with everything he's learned.
Now he has to "uplift" "Mundane World" into a "Magitech World", by bringing the spells & artifacts from his Isekai´s "Terra Mystica" so they can be analized.
-> It is basically the other "pole" of Parallel World Pharmacy, bringing balance to the omniverse [ Just like how some wise purple titan god likes it ]
Here the 'Post' is being used more like postmodern. Which actually fits the anime perfectly because it's an incredible sendup of the genre. Absolutely hilarious show, great art, great characters, can't wait for the rest.
I'm absolutely loving Lycoris Recoil. Chisato and Takina are the best girls of this season.
I’ve been a huge fan of this series ever since I watched Odd Taxi because of your recommendation. Big thanks.
You did well in taking the Odd Taxi recommendation
As a reward, I shall give you my seed.
That outro… that was some swwwweeeeeet editing and audio design!
Seeing Devil is a Part Timer finally get a sequel gives me hope that one day Monster Musume may get a second season.
That aside, Engage Kiss is both so confusing and so intriguing. Like there was so much exposition in episode 3 and yet I still have so many questions.
It gives me hope that Rosario+Vampire might someday get the FMA Brotherhood treatment. Since Season 2 of the manga was where it really came into its own, whereas season 2 of the anime was a complete dumpster fire.
@@RedXlV oh hell yes Rosario Vampire was one of my favorite series when I was younger. I hated how they butchered the story in the anime adaptation. The second part of the manga was so much better and more interesting than the anime portrayal. They leaned hard into the comedy harem parts of the series. I wish they'd do another season that covers the Fairy Tale part of the story
Monmusu doesn't really have material that would *work* for a second season, does it? The manga kind of went... *off*.
@@Nshadowtail I mean if they've been able to get shows like Redo of Healer, How Not To Summon a Demon Lord, and Mother of the Goddess’ Dormitory on the air, I'm sure they could figure something out for Monmusu. They did a good job censoring the first season's chapters while still keeping the story and comedy the same
I swear you just keep getting better and better with writing these scripts! how you manage to keep improving is constantly impressive
0:42 You could have say "That one is so special it deserves its own video"
13:57 SPD Power Rangers are probably one of the few type of combatant that is able to tear the enemy apart while still capturing them non-lethally that i can think off..... maybe the donbrothers too but that only applies to the type of villain they face against
23:01 so that's how someone can be step-twin....
My god you’re a genius. I’ve been obsessed with COTN for the last few years in manga form but you’re 100% right. I think the manga and anime subconsciously gave me FLCL vibes. I never noticed it! 😮
WAIT THE DEVIL IS A PART TIMER IS BACK???? I use to watch that so much a few years ago 😭😭
sorry to break it to you, but its been 10 years.
Heads up though: It's changed studios. The first season was done by White Fox (Re: Zero, Steins; Gate, and Goblin Slayer) and this second season is by Studio 3Hz (SAO: Alternative and Princess Principal) So there's a serious down grade in the animation and all the character art has changed slightly. It's noticeable.
@@Aliceintraining i started it like 3 years ago didn’t know it was 10 years old
@@Aliceintraining it seriously has been 9 years since that show aired, why is time progressing?
Dang that Yofukashi no Uta and FLCL comparison is super spot on. It definitely gives that exact vibe with even the themes too. Just much more tame.
I've read the pharmacy isekai thing and I can't help but feel it would be so much better if he didn't get special isekai protagonist powers. His knowledge of medicine was more than enough to make it interesting, being the most special magic boy takes away quite bit from the story.
You know what goes _great_ with a debatably original cheat power that requires your hero to work hard and think harder about any problems he wants to solve, potentially educating the audience about how experts in the field do their job? A significantly _less_ original cheat power that lets him bypass a lot of that work, thought, and educational value!
My thoughts exactly. The initial premise seems interesting, but as soon as we reached the part about the god of medicine giving him ultra-fantastic magical powers on top of it, my train of though immediately switched tracks to "okay, so it's just another OP protagonist anime, but they thought making the hero a doctor rather than a warrior would make it original."
That's what stopped my interest in watching it. I didn't really like the idea of the magic wizard fight it would have been okay without it in my opnion of course
Consider reading "Queen with a Scalpel!" Sort of a... reverse-post-isekai, going by the way this video describes things. Tyrant in fantasy not-Britain gets executed, wakes up as a kid in the modern world, trains as a surgeon, then ends up back as her teenage self in not-Britain. No special powers other than knowledge from her past lives.
You should just watch Greys Anatomy or something like that. No isekai needed. The point of the show is, yes he's op, but in order to heal people he needs to really formulate a real medicine with his power and that is a challenge, it's not like he just abracadabrad people into health.
I read what’s been scanlated of parallel world pharmacy and the thing that impressed me most was actually the hard working amateur translation team that managed to correctly translate some of the really technical jargon.
I was expected that gun thing to be held by yourself in a split screen type situation and then a whole other person stepped out and I was genuinely caught off guard.
I'm so used to RUclipsrs being their own extras.
13:48 No. That is not possible no one can ever be as precious as Keanu!
I watched the first episode of Call of the Night, and i cuaght up to the manga within the same day. It gets amazingly good, and now i'm stuck waiting for translations of the next chapters. Definitely keep wathcing it!
That ending was terrifying
Just saw the first couple episodes of Uncle From Another World and it's epically hilarious! Definitely recommend. Excited to check out the rest from this list!
what platform did you watch it on?
It looks so fun, definitely gonna check it out
It's currently in Netflix jail. Unless you yohoho of course.
I was worried it would be stuck in ugly dude hell for 12 or 13 episodes, but the waifus are breaking out all over! Funny and cute, good enough for me…
It Makes sense that Geoff and Yazzy's relationship can be summed up as her making geoff watch series at gun point
In addition to the ones you mentioned and some sequels or continuing stuff, I am enjoying Shine on! Bakumatsu Bad Boys. Which is a very by the numbers shounen battle anime in some ways but includes elements of the Seven Samurai/the Magnificent 7, Yojimbo/Fistful of Dollars and the Dirty Dozen where a bunch of quirky condemned criminals are conscripted to pretend to be a group of elite samurai in a Japan on the cusp of the Meiji restoration under assault from a bizarre group of evil mask wearing samurai who wield dark magic swords and go on about dying for the nation.
Technically speaking, the rubber bullets aren't 100% "armor piercing". All "rubber" bullets are composed of a metal core that is coated (lightly) in rubber and plastic. Therefore they are capable of punching through car doors at point blank range. Notice, that it punched through the door, but not the person's skin.
i love these vids. i await them eagerly every season. even if /when i dont watch any of the recommendation and i usually only find 1-2 worth sticking with , i still enjoy keeping up on the options. the only complaint i would have and it is a selfish nit pick to be sure is a mention of if/ when the eng dubs are available if known. ( i know blasphemy that im not watching in sub LOL). barring that then giving the platform the show is on. i know most if not all are on Crunchyroll but just for the ones on like hidive or netflix a shout out would be cool to make find easier. i will keep loving your content and these in particular regardless
Call of the Night is sooo good! Everything just clicks - music, characters, art, seyu perfomance and just overall chill vibes of night city. In two episodes it made me feel like it's the best show that I have watched this year or maybe even years. Hope it keeps the quality in future episodes and people don't sleep on this one.
0:50 IS THAT A SPLATTERSHOT?!!!
Indeed it is!
I actually made a splatoon video way, waaaaay back in the day ruclips.net/video/G2vJc2ISDBo/видео.html
@@mothersbasement holy crap dude the intro on that video is such a throwback. Do u play Splatoon 2?
Call of the Night is probably my all-time favorite Tummy anime ngl
While I know it is past your cut off date, since it comes out in August, I do hope that if Fuuto PI is good (or even trash) it gets discussed at some point. It is nice to see people being able to get into Tokusatsu series through anime, and with it being the anime sequel to a live action 2010 Kamen Rider season I think it would be interesting to hear about it from the anituber side of things rather than the tokutuber side.
Just finished call of the night and I freakin loved it. The animation, the music, the cast. All of it. Can't wait for season 2
THANK YOU! I’ve been saying Call of the Night is essentially lofi Fooly Cooly, you got your angsty teenage boy and an otherworldly female character with questionable morals, and absolutely 🔥🔥 soundtrack and vibes.
cant wait for the anime adaptation of the light novel "my girlfriend hijacked my youtube video to make me talk about tokyo mew mew in another world"
As a night owl myself, "Call of the Night" is something I'm definitely looking forward to.
Me too, I work nights and live nocturnal. The Yofukashi in the title actually translates as staying up late or a person who does it.
I only start my anime season after watching your videos. Keep up the good work!
I was hoping Drugstore could be described as "the discount brand child of Ancient Magus Bride, and Apothecary's Diaries, with minor influences from it's aunt Ascendance of a Bookworm" The same way I could say that about the depressingly short lived manga "How to Treat Magical Beasts".
I don't think Pharmacy is going to be that either. But that's fine, because I was just hoping Drugstore would have a redeeming quality, and that's not an issue this time.
god, i have been WAITING for this vid to drop. you're doing god's work, my dude
