Square-Enix has a few pleasant surprises, unless you re a
Tomb Raider fan. ― Hello again! Y know what I want to do once I m nice and vaccinated and most places open up again? Go to theme parks, that s what! It s been ages since I ve had a good coaster ride, and watching theme park history videos on YouTube isn t cutting it anymore. And I m OH SO ENVIOUS that folks living in the Osaka metro area get. review

Of these, I m most disappointed to see Yuki Yuna go. I have the first season on Blu-Ray, and it s still available on CR, but it deserves greater exposure. Also sad to see Scum s Wish go; that was a quality series.
This makes me a little worried about certain titles that AP has exclusively and has never released on home video, especially Re:CREATORS.
I m not actually sure that Amazon was really any good for increasing exposure for various anime series. A lot of the better stuff they licensed got some buzz, but most of it sank really quickly and I think it s because Amazon Prime s output is not that prolific, and because they completely failed to advertise the anime. Especially outside the US. Here in Canada, it s basically got a crazy amount of overlap with Tubi for no apparent reason.
Free!, as opposed to everything that was going on in
Banana Fish, with dudes freestyling it up on skateboards this time instead of in the pool. The first episode of
Sk8 the Infinity seemed to be an introduction to everything that the series might encompass, showing off all the characters and seeing how skateboarding, the boards themselves, the culture, and the competitions would be integral to the show. And I ll be honest, that first episode didn t really click for me! For a series that seemed to be shooting for downhill jam excitement between its opening scene and climax, the downtime between that wherein we followed main boys Reki and Langa felt far too languid in comparison. There were flashes of attitude and style just in the backgrounds and designs and the way the colors of everything popped, but that stretch of pacing seemed at odds with the supposed appeal of the show.
