Tsusushima Island sits between South Korea and Japan. Criminals including Jinzaburou Kuchii have been exiled to this island. When they arrive though, they learn that they are not simply there to toil their days as slaves of the people of the island nor be killed there, rather, they are sent there as support. Support for the incoming invasion supposedly from the Mongols! When they learn that the Mongols are coming, Jinzaburou moves out along with other men and after the leader of the island is killed, he assumes control of the forces along with Teruhi, the daughter of the former leader, as they try to not only survive, but stop a hostile, aggressive, and foreign power from running over the land of the rising sun!

Angolmois was a so-so start at the beginning of the season, but it really picked up as things continued on. The story was interesting once it was introduced, and we even got small Drifters vibes from the battles! The characters are all solid, and for once, we don’t have boring characters, we have a main male character who is not an idiot nor baselessly powerful. Rather, Jinzaburou is skilled due to his past and serving the government. In fact, I really don’t have anything negative to say about the series as a whole. It’s great and I highly recommend it!

Satou Matsuzaka seems like a super popular girl. She’s cute, she has a great voice, and everyone seems to like her. Every day when she goes home, she gets to see Shio, a young girl that she lives with. Showered with love and affection, Satou feels love for the first time in her life. Still though, Satou knows one thing, now that she has found love, Satou will do anything to maintain this flow of love from Shio. Whether it be to threaten someone, lie to someone, hurt someone, or even kill someone, she will do it if it means she will maintain her happiness. She lives her happy sugar life and hates bitterness.

Happy Sugar Life was more or less a safe bet before it went on air and it’s still proving itself to be a good watch. We basically have a new Yuno Gasai who is maybe a bit better at bottling herself up, and an adorable little girl in Shio who is just sweeter than a whole batch of cupcakes. Their happy moments together are great, but the supporting backstory, and the lengths that Satou goes to not only keep Shio locked in her apartment, but also to maintain their happiness, are fantastic. The series is only getting darker as we know she has committed murder and gouged out the eyes of others in order to keep her happiness afloat. It’s a good watch each week and we want more!

Overlord III is unique because the story is still evolving. We know that characters like Ainz, Albedo, and more are back, but we are finally seeing the return of the village of E-Rantel from season one as well as Enri and Nfirea. Thank goodness, too! So far, the story has been about them co-existing with goblins while developing their town and research a bit more for Ainz. The village was attacked at one point and they were even able to hold off an invasion!

To be honest, I was a bit worried after the dud that was season 2, but Overlord III has restored the series back to its former glory. Ainz is getting the hang of living in this new world and I’m enjoying watching him pull the strings from the shadows. So many characters do reappear though, so it might be a good choice to re-watch season 1 if you have forgotten some names. I am curious about what is going to happen to this village now that we have learned that the beasts of the directions were not a real threat though. We’ll just have to keep watching and we hope you do too as this only continues to elevate the Overlord story even further!
