Anime Burst is back! And this time it’s just me.

It’s been a while since I got to write solo but I’m ready to do this again. That last TKO was a lot of fun but the coronavirus has taken a toll on everyone. In my case, one of the anime I was gonna cover for this got delayed. And another one I can’t really watch so I had to make a few changes. But it is what it is. I’m gonna have to do some catching up when I get to do individual articles but with the burst format, it shouldn’t be too hard. Right, I bet you’re tired of me padding this out now so let’s get on with the show.

The Shows

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
Studio(s): SILVER LINK
Genre(s): Comedy, Fantasy, Romance, School

What? Don’t look at me like that. I picked this one cause it sounded right up my alley. And after watching the first episode, I’m just gonna say it is. Katarina Claes’s struggle to not go down as a villainess is hysterical. I’m not sure if it would be TKO material, but it’s way too enjoyable for me not to pick up for the season. I do like how her attempts to change her fate seem to be leading to it instead. “Seem to be” being the key phrase, here. I think she is looking way too much into things. She’s already ten times nicer than the character in the game was. Overall it’s a very fun first episode.

Tower of God
Studio(s): Telecom Animation Film
Genre(s): Action, Adventure, Mystery, Drama, Fantasy

Not gonna lie, I still don’t know what I think about this one. I love that the art style is fresh and feels new but the story seems like it might go melodramatic at the drop of a hat. The first episode is somewhat disjointed until the first actual floor of the tower after the whole eel thing. None of it was bad but I hope it does a better job in the next episode. Maybe then I’ll have more of a solid read on where I sit with this series.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 2
Studio(s): A-1 Pictures
Genre(s): Comedy, Psychological, Romance, School, Seinen

Welp, Kaguya-sama is back and it’s like it never left. I loved everything about this episode. And before you ask, yes. Voyager covered the first season of this one. But this was the last one I could choose when No Guns Life got delayed. And I was told I needed three anime so here I am. Besides, he’s taking a break, this season. Though he did say he might talk about it (and other shows) on his own blog. I’m not sure what I can say about this series to keep my coverage interesting but I’ll give it my best and see what happens.
