Best manga/anime adaptation
I do believe I haven't watched that many anime/manga adaptations, but this keeps the magical anime world and blends it so well with the real world that it doesn't feel childish, cheap, unbelievable (like my skip beat which deserves a remake xD)Plus their outfits are rocking tho I wish they changed more, or well had more eps to give us more amazing outfits
Production and quality are really great, better than most jdramas/manga adaptations.
Anyway the writing could get a bit better, I feel like rohan is always too shocked and the explanations are a bit convenient and easy to get through.
I do think maybe even 5 eps season could allow for more character growth cuz there's a pattern of rohan getting into unexpected magical situations eventho he too has magic and he's always surprised and then it's solved
So more eps would allow for one villain to stay longer and maybe get a bit more depth, more character, friends and more dependency. Right now it's rohan, his guest appearing assistant vs 1 day villains
Anyway still a great yearly tradition and I hope they continue ❣

Still interesting
This third season of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is still interesting but less so compared to the previous two seasons.The first episode is about how this shadow self of Rohan has somehow overtaken his life for the past 3 months and has been leading a double life behind his back. Then he finds on of his characters that has four eyeballs instead of three as originally planned. This pisses Rohan off to no end. He tries to find a way to reverse the weird shadow man curse and manages to do so with the help of this shadow mistress lady (played by Furukawa Kotone who is another cast member of Nagi’s Long Vacation and plays a similar mistress role).
The second episode is about this kid, a fan of Rohan’s manga Pink Dark Boywho becomes obsessed with this idea around Rohan’s three eyeball character that now has four eyeballs due to the shadow self and stuff from the previous episode. Well the kid stalks Rohan and keeps challenging him to a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. He loses the first time but then manages to win a couple of rounds and seems to be leaching onto Rohan’s powers which becomes very annoying. Finally after clawing his way back from this terribly unnecessary game Rohan wins the game and regains his powers. This was the more interesting episode of the two, but I think they are both related in that the same weird spirits from the mountain are messing with Rohan using these characters.
I find it refreshing how this series can handle all this dark, violent, adult material without visually compromising the integrity of the drama- they don’t show unnecessary violence or physical relationships and it somehow works.
