I'm going to be honest, and say I didn't get around to watching it. But I also won't be voting in any AotY stuff, so that seems fair.

You still have 27 days!
Why do you think we ban Twitter threads?!

Body swapping is one of the oldest plots out there, and has appeared in hundreds of shows at some point or another.

Is it really still super popular though? We still get the average LN harem show every other season, but I can't remember all that many body swapping shows from the last few years. At least not that I'm aware of.

I mean, I feel like a lot of shows do a body swap episode at some point or another. It's always the go to idea when the writers don't know what else to do.
He actually only has 3 days cause anyone not watching S2 when it airs it's going to be automatically banned, or so I heard!

I mean, I've definitely seen it here and there in one show or another, but not to a degree where it'd be a number 1 despised trope or as a bare-minimum thing for writers to do.

Sure, but I mean... David Mamet won a Pulitzer Prize for his writing, and he's basically defined by very precise and crafted dialogue. I assume Aaron Sorkin must have won something as a screenwriter too.
It was prominent in Cocopuffs Connect and that manga/jdrama/anime Yamada and the Seven Witches, but I think the gimmick comedies have basically died down for the most part.
Branduil is here... and watching Amagami for some reason. lol
Murakami is probably the most famous contemporary Japanese author and his prose is basically the template for VNs. I don't think Nisio's style is really all that "weird" given that. What sets Nisio apart from "serious authors" is his choice of material and how his works are marketed. Not the way he writes imo.

Blast of Tempest END
This would have been like one of my many 7s show (good) but those last 8-ish episodes were just amazing. From the characters, the story and the battles, everything went up a notch in a direction I liked. That last battle with with the amazing soundtrack playing behind was amazing looking and
the show also had great comedic moments throughout the whole thing, which were all well timed. But what sealed the deal really was the character designs which were all fantastic, Yoshino being my favourite.
The endings were both superior to both openings. I just loved the way they presented the characters more.
Overall it was an awesome show, I greatly enjoyed it. Praise BONES.

Hanamura was one of my favourite character in those last few episode, which totally surprised me considering how meh he was at the start.

Kuromukuro's ending is being way oversold here. It was a fine ending, but you're making it sound like it was some exceeding clever subversion. I wouldn't even call it all that surprising.
So with the Little Witch Academia series around the corner I finally got around to watching Little Witch Academia and Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade and they were both a lot of fun. Maybe not the most original plots but they were both just so jolly and Akko is a treasure. Now I'm all set for the premiere, whenever that is.

Yeah, that's my least favorite of them all. I like the next arc a lot but I might be in the minority for that.

Its one of my favourites, the Ai arc.

Are dubbing companies ever very open about what sort of equipment they use when recording? I'm watching a Sentai dub for the first time in a few years and something about the audio in this seems kind of iffy, might just be poor balancing but it's way too quiet sometimes, and sometimes some characters sound like they're either too far from the mic or have their head in a box...
I know Sentai is pretty low key with their releases sometimes and probably don't have much of a budget (the way they do credits makes that pretty clear, as well as the anime network ad that's in 4:3 and looks like it was made in MS paint) but these are some of the same issues I noticed when I watched Angel Beats a few years ago, I would have thought they'd have gotten a little better about some of this stuff.

I wonder if that's enough time for me to squeeze in Rakugo in this binge month.

I've now finished Sword of the Stranger, Wolf Children, and Howl's Moving Castle. Howl wasn't as good as I remembered when I was a kid, but the other two were pretty good. I should probably finish Konosuba next.
sadly a lot of stuff is kept hidden.
though given that miraculous ladybug shares a ton of voice actors with seven deadly sins I imagine they use the same studio (which is what aniplex uses but I don't know about sentai)
which they showed some of the equipment in a clip a while back

I don't recall more off the top of my head
I think they wanted an excuse for Nakata Jouji to be a narrator in this arc.
To be honest, I didn't really pay much attention to Sae and Rihoko's arc. I just stared at the screen until it was over and I moved on.
His Twitter this past week or so has been full of Amagami screens, haha. Now I'm just waiting for his SS Plus screens.
Good... good...
