Triangle Anime and Manga Review: Star Wars Visions and Summer 2021 Season Wrap-Up

This week Logan and Ozzy take some time in the intro to have a brief discussion on the topic of Star Wars: Visions. Visions is an anthology series of various stories in the Star Wars universe which have been adapted by various anime studios. We discuss our interest in seeing more unique stories in the Star Wars universe and our feelings on the art and how the anime style helped make the adaptations unique.

 

(19:30) following this we discuss the series which we paid attention to over the spring 2021 anime season.

(21:05) we discuss the second season of Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and the revival of Kyo-Ani following the arson case a few years back.

(25:00) Then we cover the second season of "Reincarnated as a Slime" and how the series changes from more of a drama to an action style anime.

(33:00) We discuss the silly comedy of Girlfriend Girlfriend, one of the surprise animes of the season.

(40:50) Remake our lives, one of the better dramas on the season. Also one of the more chaotic stories on the season.

(46:45) Moon Led Journey Across Another World, an isekai about building a merchant company in another world (to vastly oversimplify). A more tropey but overall fun isekai. This story gained enough popularity to already have a second season confirmed this year. Check it out.

(51:00) Itaden Know Only Peace, one of the animes that have flown under the radar this season. A story about gods and demons, with over the top violence and chaos. A unique artstyle and deep story make this one worth checking out.

(1:00:25) Iruma Demon Academy, A more child focused anime about a human being brought to the demon world and entering the demon academy. This season the anime had stepped more into full on shonen and is "growing up". If you missed the first few seasons, check this one out.

(1:07:45) Aquatope on White Sands, Technically this anime is still underway. This is a deep tale about chasing dreams but not always achieving them. A fun tale about working at an aquarium with beautiful art and fun characters. Definitely a highlight on the season.

(1:15:00) We begin slowing down by briefly going over some of the anime we didn't necessarily have time to watch but that got hype on the internet over the season. This included Sonny Boy and Vanitas.

(1:19:50) Finally we discuss our manga recommendation from last time "Uchi no Maou Kamimasen Yo". The comedy didn't hit as hard for Ozzy due to the depiction of the demon lord pets as real human looking characters.

 

For next time the manga recommendation is "A Story About Treating a Female Knight, Who Has Never Been Treated as a Woman, as a Woman" A comedy romance that is basically what it says on the tin. A romance for the ages about, kindness, hope, and six pack abs. Check it out.

Have a nice rest of your week everyone.
