style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.43 Seiin High School Boys Volleyball Club<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> follows the story of two high school volleyball players who have not seen each other since kindergarten. Kimichika Haijima was previously the star setter at his Tokyo high school, and he had been ostracized from his old school due to his toxically competitive conduct with his teammates. He has now come back to the countryside with Yuni Kuroba, but remains distant.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the first episode, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haikyu!! <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comparisons will be inevitable because Kimichika <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears to be a blond copy of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haikyu!!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s Kageyama. Overall, the show seems to go in other directions. As of right now, Kimichika is caught between the guilt of his previous conduct and his desire to compete, so I wouldn\u2019t really consider this as an underdog story like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haikyu!!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. David Production is animating this <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, and they are most known for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jojo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so I would be interested to see where the show goes when the action happens during the matches. There were also some obvious BL undertones sprinkled in the first episode such as the characters blushing many times throughout the first episode. I am not convinced that it will go anywhere, but there are elements if that is something you are looking for. I feel like the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haikyu!! <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comparisons will hold back critical reception, but the show will need more than its initial episode to see if it breaks the mold.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;

font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a riveting season 3 that revealed all the plot points, we enter the final installment of the series. Only this time, season four of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attack on Titan<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> begins with a time skip and a complete change in perspective. Instead of Eren and the Scouts, the new season (so far) focuses on Reiner Braun, the Armored Titan, and the Eldian Warrior Unit, which fights for the Marleyan government. Marley\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> is falling behind the rest of the world, who have developed anti-Titan weapons. As such, Reiner and his superior Zeke Jaeger set their eyes to retake Paradis Island with the help of the Warrior Unit and the Tybar family. What awaits them is not a surprise on Paradis, but a surprise right in the heart of their own country.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whew! That\u2019s a lot to digest! It\u2019s no surprise that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attack on Titan Final Season<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dives back into the world\u2019s complicated lore and characters. But even with the change in studios, there is no real compromise to anything so far. The story is still delivered similarly to WIT studio\u2019s style, where important plot points and suspense hooks are agonizingly drawn out. Character designs and animation still retain their integrity, though with a bit more CGI for the Titan scenes. My only criticism is that the opening is not as invigorating and flashy as the previous seasons, but it\u2019s a minor factor. I hope that MAPPA can continue to deliver the same kind of hype as WIT did all those years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By: @Agnes<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Back Arrow:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What was I expecting when I came into this show?<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14471\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/2021\/01\/15\/anibitez-winter-2021-anime\/image3-23\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?fit=941%2C487&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"941,487\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Back Arrow\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?fit=300%2C155&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?fit=696%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14471 jetpack-lazy-image\" width=\"580\" height=\"300\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?w=941&amp;ssl=1 941w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=300%2C155&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=768%2C397&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=696%2C360&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=812%2C420&amp;ssl=1 812w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=580%2C300&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14471\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/2021\/01\/15\/anibitez-winter-2021-anime\/image3-23\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?fit=941%2C487&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"941,487\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Back Arrow\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?fit=300%2C155&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?fit=696%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=580%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14471\" width=\"580\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?w=941&amp;ssl=1 941w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=300%2C155&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=768%2C397&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=696%2C360&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image3.png?resize=812%2C420&amp;ssl=1 812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption><em>Image: Funimation<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking back, I cannot remember why I chose to cover <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back Arrow<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Anibitez Winter 2021. Was it because a few high-profile Sunrise people contributed to a vaguely interesting story? Possibly. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back Arrow<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is about the fantasy world of Lingalind, which is enclosed by a series of Walls. The inhabitants of Lingalind revere the Walls as \u201cgods\u201d because every handful of years, the heavens will rain down these extraordinary metallic bands that grant a user a mecha known as a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Briheight. One day, a man is sent down by the heavens with a Briheight. He does not remember his name and shocks the world by saying, \u201cI come from the other side of the Walls,\u201d thus embroiling himself in a conflict that strives to understand their relationship with the Walls and the Briheight.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely, I was hit with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Code Geass<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> vibes. Most of the mecha units, the world\u2019s dynamic color schemes, and whacko character designs are examples of SUNRISE\u2019s past success. But that\u2019s where the similarities end. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back Arrow<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has semblances of a political struggle within Lingalind, but it is largely outshined by the grandiose entrance of a naked man who has amnesia. It\u2019s a very typical anime plot that\u2019s strung along with big-breasted girls and a clueless sidekick. It\u2019s not exactly my cup of tea, but maybe <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back Arrow <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will appeal to me later down the line.

Having Fumiya and Aoi incorporate game terms while discussing life sounds neat, but by playing things straight, the dialogue sounds a little awkward. The gamer-speak in the show sounds additionally forced due to the repetition of hearing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attack Fams<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> described as a \u201cGodly Game\u201d while life is a \u201cshit game,\u201d to the point where you could make a drinking game out of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, Fumiya\u2019s view on life brings to mind <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s Hikigaya Hachiman, but Fumiya lacks the latter\u2019s wittiness and sarcasm and has no compelling or interesting traits of his own. If it weren\u2019t for Aoi, who isn\u2019t the manic pixie dream girl she initially seems to be, the premiere would be incredibly dull. Despite these key flaws, solid production values and the potential for the story to become noteworthy kept my impression of the premiere from completely tanking. The premiere isn\u2019t great, but the show doesn\u2019t seem to be bottom-tier material at least.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:

12pt;\">The Cells at Work franchise is back for a second season, with two exclamation marks instead of one. While familiar faces such as Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell show up, the absolutely adorable platelets steal the thunder in the first episode. We see their internal struggles, the training they go through, and the immense amount of teamwork needed to start healing wounds. It is a serious contrast compared to their more cheery image during the first season. We even get to know the \u201cteacher\u201d behind the adorable platelets\u2019 functional education, showing there\u2019s more to the platelets than simply being cute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">However, while the episode focused on the platelets, too many things were happening at the same time. While I understood that the platelets were facing a crisis in repairing the body, the bombardment of action and sudden appearance of the \u201cteacher\u201d left me feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to focus. Still, the disappearance of information boxes regarding new cells or situations, which were present in the first season, concerned me most. I had a hard time digesting information about the current situation without these written summaries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The episode wasn\u2019t bad because of its comedic moments, but it also wasn\u2019t as good as the first season due to the confusing presentation. I hope things clear up in the next few episodes or I might drop the anime despite my love for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cells at Work!<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By: @Crystal<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Cells at Work!

CODE BLACK<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows us what happens to our cute little cells when we don\u2019t take care of them. We follow a familiar sight, AA2153, a red blood cell starting his first day on his important job of delivering oxygen to the rest of the body. AA2153 is hopeful of his new job, but unfortunately, he receives grim knowledge that he has stepped onto an eternal battlefield for the rest of his existence. The body is in an unhealthy state, bought in by years of stress, smoking, alcohol, and other factors, and this setting serves as a stark contrast to the exemplary body in the original <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cell at Work!<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These poor conditions manifest into the setting as deep signs of poverty and decrepit buildings whose denizens are suffering from oxygen rationing.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this extremely bleak tone, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cells at Work! CODE BLACK<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is arguably funnier and more engaging than the original series, while still following real-world accuracy in bodily processes. Some of the funniest jokes within the first episode came from comparing and contrasting the introductions of familiar cells, but now they are shown thrown into a state of total war. This episode showcases the devastating effects of smoking on the body, and the cruel suffering leaves both AA2153 and the viewer the despair of not knowing if their sacrifices will be ultimately worth it. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cells at Work!

This comedy anime is about an elite team of designers and engineers who are responsible for populating Earth with animals per their client\u2019s \u2014 good old God himself. A couple of angels are also assigned to this team as the mediators between the design team and their client, often getting \u201crevelations\u201d from God as a stamp of approval. What ensues is a hilarious segment of zoology with some corporate elements thrown in for a good measure.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I find this show entertaining, as I can turn off my brain, eat some breakfast, and enjoy listening to cool animal facts and how they survive in the wild. All the characters are insanely quirky with their preferred \u201cprototypes,\u201d the art style is super comfy, and the educational segments are easy to follow. Concept-wise, I\u2019m a bit hesitant to comment since there are some religious connotations woven in (i.e. God, angels, and creationism), which may counter the notions of evolutionism (i.e. Galapagos Island) that the show tries to portray. There is also a designer who solely designs animals in order to \u201ceat them,\u201d which can be seen as a quirky habit or something offensive. Either way, take this show with a grain of salt and have fun learning new things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:

It has a world where there are offsprings between humans and otherworldly creatures, a main character who is shunned and feared for their background, and a story involving a chance to have a new life with strangers who will eventually become family. While this may sound trite on paper, the execution of the premiere strongly suggests that this is a show that will be worth your time.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A detective from Tokyo has arrived in a rural village.

While it\u2019s odd that the young protagonist has a startling and unexplained efficiency in combat, and I worry that the change in scenery at the end of the premiere will cause the rest of the show

Some of my friends gushed about how amazing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laid Back Camp<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was, but I never got to it until now. Once I watched the first two episodes though, I was addicted. And thus, I return for the series\u2019s second season.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laid Back Camp Season 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a continuation of the first season, and the series is popularly known as \u201ccute girls go camping.\u201d The first episode features Rin\u2019s past, where we see how she got started with camping, and reunites us at the end of the episode with the gang of the energetic Nadeshiko, dog owner Saitou, enigmatic Chiaki, and the slightly airheaded Aoi. With the second episode focused on Rin\u2019s solo camping once more, I look forward to seeing how her camp on New Year\u2019s Eve goes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laid Back Camp<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because it embodies the idea of \u201ccomfy\u201d so well, and the warm, fuzzy feeling conjures images of a log cabin with a warm fireplace. Season 2 continues this comfortable atmosphere by showing us the five friends\u2019 interactions amidst well-drawn backgrounds of nature. The new season also comes full circle to show us Rin planning to camp alone, like how she did so during the first season. If anything, Season 2 has me hoping that the girls will camp together more because it is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> much joy watching them.

He reincarnates as Rudeus, the baby of two former adventurers, in a fantasy world with his memories intact. Rudeus discovers that he is extraordinarily gifted in magic and, under the tutelage of the mage Roxy Migurdia, decides to give it his all in this second chance at life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some of the spoilers I\u2019ve read about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sounded intriguing<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the premiere did not convince me that the show would feature a compelling story. The proceedings are mostly ordinary, with the exception of a hilariously random cutaway to sounds of Rudeus\u2019 parents having sex. Fortunately for the show, this shortcoming is overcome by impressively high-quality production values and a certain voice actor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The premiere grabs the eye from the very first shot, and it maintains its visual strength throughout. Outside of animation highlights like a wall-shattering blast of water and the healing of a felled tree, the show\u2019s photography conveys the fantasy world\u2019s warm environment well, in contrast to the gritty and cold atmosphere of the brief early scenes on Earth. The sound effects can be impressive too. But as good as the show looks, much of the premiere\u2019s watchability is owed to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tomokazu Sugita, aka <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sardonic Kyon. While Rudeus speaks with Yumi Uchiyama\u2019s voice, his thoughts are voiced by Sugita. Because it sounds like Kyon delivering the relevant lines, Rudeus\u2019 less-than-charming perverted thoughts and unexceptional monologues become unexpected highlights.

Accessible through certain doors (and elevators), it is in this \u201cOtherside\u201d that two girls, the reserved Sorao Kamikoshi and the energetic, Makarov-toting <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toriko Nishina, first cross paths. With its abandoned-looking, post-apocalyptic aesthetic, and otherworldly nature, the Otherside brings to mind The Zone from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, despite various differences. Meanwhile, Sorao and Toriko\u2019s attempt to retrieve an item for profit in the premiere\u2019s second half is mildly reminiscent of the stalkers from those games and the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roadside Picnic <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">novel the games are loosely based on.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s cool to see a yuri anime with a S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-esque setting, but the Otherside doesn\u2019t leave much of an impression in the premiere. More exciting supernatural encounters happen when Sorao and Toriko are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">behind<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> doors instead of being on the plains of the Otherside itself, and the Kunekune\u2019s amorphous appearance is rather unmemorable. There\u2019s also a baffling lack of explanation about the Otherside, considering how Sorao and Toriko seem to take its existence for granted. I expected to at least find out if the Otherside is common knowledge or something that\u2019s only known to urban legend believers. The premiere still entertains thanks to the natural interactions and solid chemistry between Sorao and Toriko, but it will be crucial for future episodes to not just expand on the characters\u2019 backgrounds and Toriko\u2019s goal, but to provide the Otherside with a stronger presence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By: @Melvyn<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>So I\u2019m a Spider, So What?:<\/b> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SPIDERS HAVE RIGHTS TOO!\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14481\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/2021\/01\/15\/anibitez-winter-2021-anime\/image7-16\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?fit=954%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"954,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"So I\u2019m a Spider, So What?\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?fit=696%2C390&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"390\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14481 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?w=954&amp;ssl=1 954w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=768%2C430&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=696%2C390&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1 750w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=696%2C390&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14481\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/anitrendz.net\/news\/2021\/01\/15\/anibitez-winter-2021-anime\/image7-16\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?fit=954%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"954,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"So I\u2019m a Spider, So What?\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?fit=696%2C390&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"696\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=696%2C390&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?w=954&amp;ssl=1 954w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=768%2C430&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=696%2C390&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/anitrendz.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/image7.png?resize=750%2C420&amp;ssl=1 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption><em>Image: Crunchyroll<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spiders are not my favorite critters.

As the title suggests, this show is about an <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">isekai-<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ed student establishing herself in a new world as a spider of all things. Will she face \u201cmonstrous\u201d prejudice found in the likes of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?

That remains to be seen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far, I do like the show\u2019s more reactionary comedy (thanks to Aoi Y<\/span><b>\u016bu<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ki\u2019s spectacular voice acting) and that the series focuses on her classmates also being <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">isekai-ed<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as different humans, genders, or species. These are all very amusing to me as a watcher and presents a possibility that this series can be different. On the other hand, the set up of the story follows a too-familiar format of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">isekais<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where the character learns skills, gains resistance by fighting monsters, and gains an awareness far beyond that of their status.

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In direct contrast to classic light novel tropes, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> doesn\u2019t actually give away the whole story in just the title.\u00a0 In fact, the dungeon isn\u2019t even where most of the story takes place. The show follows Noir, the son of a lower-ranked noble, who obtains a powerful skill in the titular hidden dungeon. This skill requires him to do pleasurable things in order to use it. His childhood friend Emma is more than happy to oblige, and the pair of them enroll in the hero academy to become adventurers.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having read some of the manga adaptation, I knew what I was getting into, and I had tempered my expectations accordingly. The animation, music, and voice acting are all satisfactory. I smiled at one or two of the jokes. It\u2019s a generic fantasy setting and story with a few unique changes to help it stand out from the rest. In this case, the standout change is how gosh darn horny these teens are for each other. While not at the level of shows like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High School DxD<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Testament of the Sister New Devil<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, I would not recommend watching this with polite company. Valuable animation frames are spent on boobie bounces, panty shots, and kissing scenes that zoom in at the end, focusing on a little bit of tongue and saliva, that linger just long enough to make the viewer feel like a voyeuristic third wheel. But take away these scenes, and you\u2019re left with just another bland fantasy show.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By:

where they were secretly being raised as livestock for demon consumption. The second season opens up where the children are now thrust into an unknown world and are trying to survive while avoiding the demons pursuing them. For this new season, both the children and the viewers are left in the dark. The plants and fauna resemble life from the ocean and are unlike anything both parties have seen before. This ever-growing mystery is compounded with the demons themselves, who have cast aside their desire to remain hidden to secure their escaped livestock at all cost.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">This season continues to drive the strengths from the first season into its initial episode, such as the tension brought on by the struggle of these characters who are nearly powerless against the demons hunting them. The children are hunted by the monsters inhabiting this strange world, but are also dealing with intelligent demons who we know nothing about except for their terrifying prowess.There are many mysteries that we were left with in the first season, and our first glimpse of the outside world makes us question even more. What is the demon society like? Are there other escapees or human survivors out there? I\u2019m excited to see where this show is going to take us this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By:

and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Her Blue Sky<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but with a heavier, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Silent

However, the first comparison that came to mind as I watched the premiere was the late Satoshi Kon\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paprika<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wonder Egg Priority<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s premiere offers an unexpectedly <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>py ride for about three-quarters of its runtime \u2014 a character emerges from an egg, an escalator leads to an unknown realm, and a sculpture seemingly sheds tears. The episode somehow offers drama, psychological horror, surreal fantasy, and even an action-adventure moment without feeling like a tonal mess. Visually, the storyboarding, animation, and crisp-looking characters, often shown in close-ups, made me wish I could enjoy the show on the big screen. The premiere isn\u2019t a case of pure perfection, as the compellingly story-boarded opening minutes feeling a little rough due to the vagueness of the premise. But as a whole, it offers a unique and memorable experience that shouldn\u2019t be overlooked. I\u2019m eagerly waiting to see what comes next.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">By: @Melvyn<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">That is all for AniBitez: Winter 2021 Part 1!
