The Three Behemoths, episode 7

Wait, did he just mech-warrior himself into the cockpit of that dragon?

Yup, that’s the kind of show this is. Never mind the army of undead tearing through the city, or the countless women who’ve been kidnapped, raped, and murdered by Fat Snidely Whiplash; nobody we care about really gets hurt, and Our Heroines end the episode with a nipplicious bath scene. At least Our Braless Cat-Blacksmith-nya got some good character moments.

Verdict: good ~~clean~~ soapy fun.

(after last week’s just-barely-adequate fan-art, I went with Stable Diffusion to get some Vulcan; the LoRA helped, but as you can see from the settings, I still had to do a lot of work in the prompt to get the details mostly right)

Solo Leveling 2, episode 6

Okay, this week is just a huge fight, but he saved all the hot chicks and managed to bring out Blondie’s girly side, so we’ll call that a win.

Verdict: somehow I’d compressed a lot of these early chapters in my head, but they’re not skipping any of it, so they might just end this cour with making the potion and saving Mom, pushing Esil out another few episodes. Sigh.

(if I can’t have Esil, Rory Mercury can stand in as a soul-reaper)

A-Rank Dungeon Harem, episode 5

I do not enjoy watching The Asshole Party keep failing to learn from their mistakes. Well, except for the Little Blonde Titty-Witch who’s become their latest punching bag; she’s starting to get a clue.

Meanwhile, it’s moving day, and still unable to read the signs that the girls have painted in ten-foot-high letters of blazing love, Our Harem Hero is surprised that they want him to move in with them.

Then it’s back to the Asshole plot, sadly, but at least Our Legal-Loli Healer has trained him to accept physical affection, advancing her position in the harem. And to further lift the curse, we’ve acquired a sexy ninja catgirl. Finally!
