Jaadugar A Witch In Mongolia #10
SB/ED: Kenji Zenba
To no one's surprise, Jaadugar remains magnificent, now with a solemn depiction that draws upon Mongolian mythology. A tale with very little actual heroism, given that Tolui was naively outwitted.

I haven't the faintest idea how to take this series, but Ishihara's episode is insane in the best possible way! It's fun and unhinged, even more so than his usual work.

Jaadugar's staff is plenty of interesting profiles alongside Abel and Yamada. First of all the directors/storyboarders of the single episodes, but also the KAs. This scene from the latest episode in particular is kinda good!
The Ribbon Hero wasn't much to write home about, but the henshin directed by Hiromatsu Shuu is really really great. It's almost a pity that it appear entirely only once in the film!

The first time I saw it was years ago. I've fallen asleep on my couch, I was too tired! Really glad I gave it another chance, 'cause to me it's Yuasa at his finest

Such a cool way to depict the passing of Genghis Khan and the rise of the new emperor! Go watch Jaadugar!

I fully support all the victims and my heart is with them.
I wish I could have done more and regret not taking more concrete actions.
I haven't been around much but if anyone feels the need to talk to me, my door is open, here or on discord.
Kamina Botan #02 is solo-animated by Yuusuke Matsuo, Fugo for friends. His drawing style is simple yet elegant and I love all the effort in poses and torsions, that makes characters feel so lively. Impossible not to stop the episode every 10 sec and make a screenshot!
To fully grasp the story, it will take a few more episodes, but at least one thing can already be said: the clean character designs, Yoshiyuki Itouโs corrections (AD of the episode), and the brutally depicted violence in this prologue all suggest a strong sense of solidity.
After the first episode of Yomi no Tsugai, the initial feeling that lingered with me is a subtle nostalgia, difficult to put into words. It feels like going back to the earlier works of Andou, to Fullmetal Alchemist but with a new, modern freshness.
