The Elves books had some time travel mechanic which I liked but it was more accidental and not one of the main focusses or issues in all but one book.
Do you mean the Dark Elf trilogy ? Can't find any book series with the name the elves aside from that and tolkien stuff.
Speaking of movies, I completely forgot about groundhog day. It's a classic and it popularized the one-day style timeloop.

Oh, it's actually called The Elven in english. It's by a german author called Bernhard Hennen and I'm not sure any of his other works have been translated to english. Which would be a shame because imho the other Elven novels are all better than the original kickoff.
Never watched Groundhog Day, either. Which isn't surprising because I haven't watched a ton of movies in my life.

For time travel outside of anime, there's always Robert Heinlein's short story/novella "--All You Zombies--". Relatively short read but perfectly avoids paradox.

They're translated up to the ninth book in Dutch at least, I'll give them a shot if my local library has them.

I've read that one, really good for it's length. The movie predestination is based off of it too.
There's also "By his bootstraps" by Heinlein, fun novella with a causal loop only achievable by having the MC be the most clueless idiot in all of fiction.

wow knight & magic has a cute trap. also pretty fun. He's also mechasexual. Too bad car kun had to come in and kill him first 3 minutes into show.
kakegurui with hayamin as yumeko and all the fantastic faces was great.
fate, step down from ufotable animation-wise but otherwise seems fine. it's 2 cours so that's nice. I can finally use my FGO knowledge to recognize the servants, yayayy
as for last season
Tsuki ga kirei(my fate in seiji kishi has been restored), Uchouten, and SukaSuka were the best.

Just started episode 1 of Knights and Magic.... + Show Spoiler +The guy died before getting to build his Gunpla... No one told me this was a FEEELS anime T_T

Fate/Apo was decent. They changed the Holy Grail format by a little bit : 7 vs 7 (although, it seems like they didn't show all the masters or maybe I missed some?)! I'm guessing there might be some betrayal in the near future  and hopefully, lots of deaths. With that many masters and servants...
Knights and Magic : My main issue with these stories seems to be present ; MC appears to be more powerful than others just for the sake of being MC. Otherwise, we get only to see alittle bit from their universe. I'll hold my judgement until I can see more
I decided to watch Ano Hana movie (saw the anime like 2 weeks ago). I enjoyed it. A sort of recap with a different narration and different POV. I was also reminded of how beautiful the ED is : the show amazes me with how they include the ED in certain scenes.

I wasn't completely serious but it checked off a lot of the same boxes that I had to think about Brave Witches, lol. The real differences are that they are using mecha instead of stupid leg mounts and real women instead of lolis. So pretty 80s. I agree with Spazer though that Gunbuster is a lot better (after 2 eps). It's not really good so far but not really bad, either. In contrast to Brave Witches which was straight up appalling.

The service in the show is still so strange to me. What's weird isn't that it exists, but rather how naturally it's presented. You mean how the girls are running around in "swim wear" suits as combat suits and their bathroom has a full window front so all the male mecha riders can fly along and watch them? xD To be fair though, I liked that they showed full bodies instead of the usual wannabe fanservice. Like, if you go for ecchi shit why would you take panty shots or chose the sequence so that the breasts are covered? In Gunbuster the girls just walk around naked with nipples and all that shit... That's indeed "naturally".
I still feel like the presentation is pretty atypical. Heck, some of it doesn't even seem to be intended as erotica - a certain scene in the last episode comes to mind. Contrast it with something like Code Geass, where they deliberately have low angle cockpit shots so they can shove Kallen's ass in your face.
That said, there is a lot of Gainaxing and shower scenes.

Its a shame that modern anime is a CGI infested shithole, since the mecha in Knights and Magic are relatively cool looking, but its hard to enjoy looking at them with the shitty CGI.

That LN is great.

I'm currently trying this Knight's & Magic thing out... but wtf is with that MC voice... he sounds like a 10year old. And I'm not talking about his 10year old self later on that's voiced by Takahashi Rie.
LOL the subs are better than the original:

Robots are indeed a man's romance! Too bad the MC doesn't know how true Robot Anime MCs are supposed to dress and carry themselves, but he has his heart in the right place

I think the biggest issue is not the CGI.
Anime often exaggerate parts of the model, it may not even be the same ratio.
The 3D character model just doesn't have the flexibility as a 2D character because the model is so fixate.
Compared to the huge amount of freedom of 2D, 3D transition often feels more like a downgrade.

Violet evergarden ep 1 was gorgeous! Sasuga Kyoani.
Violet was super qt with ponytail too! :3
|
Violet Evergarden and Mahoutsukai no Yome are now summer anime apparently, this is retarded even by MAL standards.
|
Knight's and Magic was pretty good. I liked it and will be looking forward to the next episode! Typically japan making a trap MC just because, but it doesn't matter at all to me. :D
