Garo - Vanishing Line (Series rating: 8/10)

Sophie is an orphan looking for her missing big brother. Desperate to find a clue she goes to a famous fortune teller for help. Little did she know that the fortune teller was actually a Horror; a monster born out of evil feelings. As she was about to be devoured by the creature she is saved by a huge, muscular man. He is Sword, one of the few Makai Knights tasked with destroying these abominations. The two form a close bond and travel together to unravel the mystery of Sophie’s missing brother and his connection to El Dorado, a place rumored to be the ultimate utopia.
This is the third series in the Garo - The Animation franchise. I honestly could not stand the first one, Divine Flame. Way too much angst for me. The second was far better, maybe I’ll get around to it someday. But this one is my favorite. Absolutely loved Sword: a hyper-masculine caricature of action heroes, with a big heart. The steak-eating, boob-loving oaf really grows on you as he does his best to help where ever he can. Sophie was great as well, seeing her grow more confident and close to Sword was really sweet. There’s more cool characters but I’ll let you see them for yourself. MAPAA did amazing work with the animation. Sadly, the clean OP and ED are DVD only as they were not found on the BD boxes.
The subtitles are from DDY.

Boku No Hero Academia 3 (Series rating: 7/10)

The story continues with a training camp, an epic battle… and a training exercise.
OK, so maybe this season is a bit… weak. The only good part is in the middle. These training sessions are getting really boring. The first half of this season is basically a copy of the last arc of season 1, only boring. The training exercise is just a copy of the tournament arc in season 2, only boring. Thank god for season 4, we can finally see some real action again. Subs from HS. No previews because the previews on the BD are extended. Then again, this release IS encoded from the R1 blurays, so I could have gotten them. But I only remembered after deleting them, so no previews.

Youjo Senki - The Movie (Movie rating: 8/10)

Tanya’s plan for a vacation after a hard fought (sort of) battle against the Republic’s stragglers comes to an end when she is deployed to fight against the Federation. To make matters worse, the Federation is aided (sort of) by an army of volunteers (sort of), among whom a young girl with a thirst for revenge against Tanya is sharpening her fangs. To make matters even worse, the biggest enemy of all armies seem to be the ones in charge.
Here we go killing again. Everyone should be happy to see our lovely murderous 40-year-old-salaryman-in-a-loli-body back in action. And trust me, there is a lot of action. Mobile Suit Gundam WISHES it had these many explosions. Also, this show gets extra point for depicting how information is transmitted from the battlefield to the supreme leader during a communist regime perfectly.
We have both 2.0 and 5.1 audio. Subs from HS. Enjoy the carnage, you monsters.

To Aru Majutsu No Index III (Series rating: 5/10)

Third season of this show. Watch Touma take on terrorists, go to London. Watch Accelerator take on another level 5, go to Russia. Then there’s a war.
Sorry to say, this show got JC Staffed. The pacing is bad, the animation is bad, the action is bad. The most frequent question I was asking out loud during this was “What the hell just happened?”. “Who the hell is that?” was a close second. We wait 5 years, and this is what we get? Damn, as if OPM 2 wasn’t bad enough. At least they gave Index something to do this season… kind of.
Subs from Horrible-Subs.
