Thanks for the nominations for the year-end awards everybody! We ended up with quite a few nomination forms for me to work through this week. Please look forward to the voting round beginning this time next week.
As for anime, some thoughts on the past week:
I still need to catch up on the past couple episodes of Orb. I have held off to give this show the time and attention it deserves in my opinion. It's been excellent so far, but it is running through next season too, so I am probably going to catch up on it during the slow period between seasons.
It feels like it just got started... And from the looks of it, it's not gonna end on a particularly interesting arc. Should've been a 2-cour season
I just binged this. It was better than I expected but that's only because I wasn't expecting much. I think I agree that it doesn't really deserve a Season 2. Not because it was bad but because by the end of Season 1 it's no longer Loner Life. Like the whole premise is that he has trash skills and is a loner. By the end he's OP and not a loner. And they've exhausted a lot of the unique story elements such as the wall of skills and the cheat skills so moving forward it would just be generic isekai.
That is exactly what happens. I read the manga quite a bit past where the anime ends and this is pretty much it. This anime was specifically adapting the manga instead of the light novels. From what I understand, the LNs actually have a bit of a unique (and polarizing) style that sets them apart. By comparison, the manga sticks closer to safe, generic isekai.
