Reviewing Anime
For I am the great and powerful Oz? I'm not entirely sure what this current sequence of Granblue episodes are going for though I did start wondering if I was in fact watching an anime or a slide show at one point in this episode.
Granblue Fantasy season 2 gives us another luke warm showing as the crew crash onto a misty island inhabited by friendly zombies.
Well it took the whole episode but we finally get a resolution to the Vira/Katalina story. Lots of things going boom this week but not a lot else to write about.
Way too much flashback on Vira and Katalina at this point. Largely because even though this time we had Vira's perspective it added little new knowledge. Here we are with Granblue Fantasy Seaon 2 Episode 4.
And episode 3 reminds us firmly this is based on a game as a character drops in for a scene and serves no purpose other than a soundboard and to remind us she exists. Oh well, it isn't like we expect any better from Granblue Fantasy at this point.

Not to mention the long awaited rematch of Yuri Plisetsky against Yuri Katuski.
We've made it to Episode 7: China's On! The Grand Prix Series Opening Event!! The Cup of China Free Skate. After episode 6 left us with Yuri as the lead contender in the competition we now get to see how that will impact on his very newly found confidence.
Episode 6 is here: China's On! The Grand Prix Series Opening Event!! The Cup of China Short Program. This is also where most people who would criticise the repetition of the skating routines like to point to as the series low point. I disagree given we're seeing a far more refined version of the routine … Continue reading Yuri on Ice Guide To Episode 6
