Yeah it didn't do particularly great but it wasn't a bomb either. I think 19 days is just a crazy turnaround though

Release date of February next year. Only about a years break between seasons 2 and 3. Hopefully they improve the animation quality from season 2.

Watched the first few episodes of Tomb Raider and it's fine. It's not awful and the voice acting is really good which is part of what has stopped me from dropping it. But the writing is pretty uninteresting and the animation quality is annoyingly inconsistent. Same studio made Castlevania and I had hoped that it would at least be at the same level as that (or even Nocturne which I think is better than this).

DAN DA DAN is interesting enough and the production quality from Science Saru in incredible. Unfortunately it's a little too hyper for my personal tastes and it takes me a while to finish each episode because I have to take breaks.

Thankfully, season 3 of Vox Machina continues to be incredible. Every season it feels like they take a step up across the board which is really nice to see.

First 3 episodes of Vox Machina season 3 have been very good. There's also another noticeable jump in animation and production quality which is super nice to see.

Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear there's going to be a 3rd Primal season

Pachinko is the best show airing right now imo. Phenomenal writing, directing, and acting. Minha Kim is absolutely incredible.

 

With the first 3 episodes of season 3 out now, looks like Amazon released the first episode for free on Youtube

Awesome. Season 1 was genuinely phenomenal and I've heard really good things about the rest of the manga. Hopefully they maintain the quality of the production for season 2

It's not against the rules and is relevant to the community so you're fine.

I'll admit the hype from the season 2 trailer got to me. I've been rewatching Arcane season 1 and it's just as amazing as I remember.

I'm not sure about what the arcane would be linked to. I don't know League lore. About Mel's mom, I think her taking power was setup near the end of Season 1, but it's interesting to consider that it might be a red herring. I think Arcane's world and storytelling are nuanced enough that's it's not just going to be a straightfoward Zaun vs Piltover vs Noxus. There's probably going to be a lot more subtlety in the conflicts that the arcane is going to play a part in.

Oh man, I'm so excited! I really like that they're continuing to keep the fates of the people in the council hidden.

"The Arcane is waking up" is hype. I wonder what that means for the story of S2.

Fern and Stark are technically in the 18-20 age range though. And fairly teenage-y. But I agree it does explore a lot of more "mature" themes.
