Astraze Ein & Project Log on DW

Since starting my Accidental Advent project on the 8th, I've made it through an impressive amount of stuff! This is the animated chunk of the pile; the manga/comics/magazines/etc will come later.

Grimms Notes - could not get into at any point despite some fun gimmicks; turns out this was based on a dead Square-Enix mobile game that never reached global. Basically a wander through fairy tales. Also Joan of Arc is a fairy tale now and I am actually kinda curious why Japan likes her so much.

ClassicaLoid (S1) - this was fun? Composers reconstituted into the present with weird abilities? Like, this was fun and dumb but I cannot imagine watching it again or seeking out the second season. Really good music, and I really liked all the composers but... yeah.

Cars 1-3 - iirc this was a gift, and this is actually the first time I've seen Cars 2 since it came out. It's still bad! 1 & 3 are formulaic and charming, but 2 is bafflingly bad! I think the main problem is that it hangs on Mater and he's not a lead character archetype. Wait, no, that's one of the main problems; the other is the entire plot and wtf. Hilariously, these were packaged in the case as 1, 3, and then 2 in the back. I agree.

Earl & Fairy - this is still charming and since the novels are licensed I should really get them. (eBook only afaik, alas) This was a 'I've seen this multiple times but it got licensed and I guess I bought a copy?' watch.

Monster Musume OVAs - idk why this is a loose disc or where it came from because while I read some of the manga, I've never seen the anime. I legit do not know where this came from. Also since it's OVAs, it's boobies bouncing breastily everywhere.

Fractale - I don't know why I bought this. I mean, the entire creative team suggests I should have really liked it but it was downright awful and I almost turned it off after the second episode but I thought it might get better? Overdone 'everyone prefers VR' + main character gets accidentally pegged as a pervert and the accusations follow him for the whole show for no reason. I feel like this could have and should have been good, but it was terrible.

Anyway, two for the shelf, three for the sale box, will ask M if perhaps he misplaced or would like the Monster Musume disc.
