Maoyuu Maou Yuusha (2013)

This meme below brought this anime into my attention:


Since I have already watched "Spice wolf" it was only natural to investigate further. I got to say I like Maoyuu better..

A little sad that there were no romantic conclusions, I can understand that the economical and developmental aspects of the world as a whole can not be concluded, for it is ever marching forward. 

But c'mon! you freaking made black powder a thing and then stopped there!? also it's in the hands of the opposition nonetheless! pretty engaging anime. 

I can't help but think Mao's too smart? She discovered potatoes, made a compass, Gutenberg printing press + paper, windmills and smallpox vaccine! on top of being a great economist.

Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! (2020)

From the first episode I could tell this anime is a love letter to the great artists and pioneers who bothered to add detail and passion to their creations, attaining masterpiece status along the way and how it inspired the next generation of creators and artists alike. Really beautiful anime.

The Kanamori character is great to watch, it is the type of personality to play the devils advocate and generally is a realist. The role she plays is necessary in any creative or productive endeavor, for she has great management skills and is always on the look out for more efficient ways to progress the project outside of the technical work related to animation.  

I also get weirdly emotional whenever "The Greatest World" track plays, it's perfect!
