Watched a couple of things recently.
Invincible Fight Girl was a lot of fun and truly understood that Wrestling is basically Anime. What if a world was as obsessed with wrestling in much the same way the worlds of Pokemon and YuGiOh are obsessed with their titular activities? You get the world here, and it is bonkers and I love it. Good vocal performances overall, with only one caveat: Nearly every time a character has an internal monologue, which is super common in anime, it felt just a little stilted and awkward. Hopefully they work on that for Season 2, if there's going to be one. As of yet there's no word on a renewal or a cancellation. Fingers crossed, because you can't just tease Keith David as the series Big Bad and leave us hanging.
Jentry Chau vs The Underworld was a delight and a visual treat. I can't speak to the authenticity of any of the mythology throughout the series, but speaking as the most vanilla white dude I still enjoyed all of it. The characters were all fun, the monster designs were rad, and the show still managed to tug on the ol heartstrings once or twice. Unlike Invincible Fight Girl which left off with plenty of story to tell which may or may not ever happen, Jentry Chau seemed to go out of its way to wrap up everything as if it feared it wouldn't get more. There's 13 episodes, and the 10th episode felt like a season finale, and the remaining 3 honestly felt like all the plot beats they could have done in a second season condensed into those episodes. It does make the pacing of the final three episodes a little wonky and breakneck, but if it doesn't get any more then at least we won't be left hanging.
