I’m not familiar with this guy so I went over to his Twitter. Mr. Cote could stand to take a page from Jim Carrey’s book.
TUESDAY NEW RELEASES - GRIMMS NOTES THE ANIMATION
2020-03-03T06:00:00Z
Grimms Notes the Animation Complete Collection
The mystical Story Teller created a world where everyone is born with a book that dictates their life story in advance. Everyone, that is, except for a handful of individuals with books full of blank pages that allow them to cross from one prewritten storyline to another and act of their own free will. That ability turns out to be a fortunate thing, as rogue plotters called Chaos Tellers are introducing new and unexpected elements into the most popular storylines, fracturing the course of fairy tales and bedtime yarns into the stuff of nightmares. Can Ex, Reina, Shane and Tao undo the repercussions of aberrations like Little Red Riding Hood suddenly gaining the ability to manipulate fire? Things are looking mighty grim indeed when our heroes must fight to un-revise the revisions in GRIMMS NOTES THE ANIMATION!

Our Top 4 Visual Novel Anime to Watch
3/6/2020 12:20:12 PM
Anime draws inspiration from a wide variety of source materials, which includes visual novels. For the uninitiated, you can think of them as video games you read instead of play. As you might have surmised by now, visual novels overwhelmingly favor story and character development over action or button-mashing.
If you haven’t watched any visual novel anime adaptations, you’re missing out on shows that handle their characters and narrative in interesting ways. Today we’re looking at four different adaptations and what they bring to the table.
I’ll just sit here and play The Fruit of Grisaia, Labyriyth of Grisaia, and Eden of Grisaia while I wonder why they aren’t on the list…
Adds Little Busters to that list…
Also, about Fate. Isn’t the first series typically panned by Fate fans?
@Series5Ranger This is your realm. Your thoughts please.
The first Fate series gets panned by a lot of Fate fans because the studio was Studio Deen. The other reason is because it not a true adaptation of the FATE route ( they throw in some HF stuff when Caster kidnaps Sakura and tries to grail her but Rin Saber & Shiro break it up, this doesn’t happen In the FATE route. Then the whole Dragon scene to take the place of the sex scene in the VN. That’s why it gets a lot of flak.
Personal opinion it’s all right. It’s not a perfect adaptation, I really wish ufotable would redo it, but they said HF is their last (for now) foray with the Fate franchise

Mysteria Friends Complete Collection
Welcome to Mysteria Academy, where the secrets of magic are taught to an eager student body composed of humans, gods and demons. Of course, it takes an unusual degree of tolerance for these groups to mingle freely, but thanks to this unusually diverse and inclusive educational experience, the most unlikely friendships are bound to spring up. Which is how Anne, a human honor student who happens to be a Princess, finds herself growing increasingly close to Grea, a half-human/half-dragon who also happens to be a Princess. Sure, fairy tales would have you believe that relationships between Princesses and Dragons are bound to end up badly, but that doesn’t take bonding while shopping and trips to the beach into account, let alone the fact that what they’re feeling may be a little more than just friendship in MYSTERIA FRIENDS!

Sentai’s Favorite Anime Introverts
3/27/2020 2:05:30 PM
Introverts have a reputation for being shy, quiet and antisocial, but introversion is so much more than that. An introvert is someone who feels drained by too much social interaction and “recharges their batteries” with alone-time.
From artists to dreamers to strong-but-silent types, introverts appear in all kinds of different places, and they’re more diverse than one might think. It’s high time that anime introverts get their moment in the limelight (much though they might hate it), so join us as we tell you about some of our favorite introverted characters.
