It's definitely one of the better isekais out there
But I'll hold my judgement on s2 till I see the full picture
Something tells me it's gonna be another index tho
I usually wait til I can watch 2-4 episodes on the same day
exceptions are when I know the original source
Literally

HEY HOLD ON
Fair trade

oh, dawn of the witch and second-best-girl-this-season animes were out last week
didn't realize since the crunchyroll release calendar is polluted with random dub releases
(best girl from spy x family
)
nothing happens in shikimori. 
It is an sol
What were you expecting
Like
I dislike how the novels ended up
That's what I meant
even slice of life can have... something
I mean
humor, plot, idk
What were you expecting
I mean it has
...action scenes
It's about a guy and his girlfriend
boring action scenes that dont contribute much besides ||"look how cool this girl is"||
Who's more cool than cute
Obviously
Not much substance
Yet
Since when was the first chapter for a romcom ever really exciting

But ya
We do find out how they first met
A bit of drama
And why Shikimori feels so jealous of the other guy
the marin thing was pretty exciting

the sol parts of spy x family were pretty exciting
someone said it had sol aspects yesterday 
just a ||parent and daughter hanging out|| were fun to watch
||peanuts|| were great too
really hated the ||carrots|| tho

Shikimori is the billionth school romcom sol
Dont wanna be that guy. But so far shikimori is probably the most generic waifu bait ive seen so far
imo, you wouldn't lose much if you replace everything except shikimori in episode 1 with whitespace
and keep the op and ed too, i guess
Clearly you haven't seen enough romcoms

Or harems really
It's the harems that are the worst offender
I'd say really the issue with Shikimori is that it's kinda... Just above average
I wouldn't call it excellent or anything
It takes time for it to get going
And really
It tends to be forgotten
But there really aren't many stories where the guy and girl are already dating
Or better still, married
Night, for the 2nd time. i do pity your viewpoint 
I've seen a decent amount, most of them, yes, ive forgotten
While I don't think Shikimori will top your waifu list anytime soon
Or anyone's really
I said so far. Im giving it 3 episodes, a fair enough chance i think
It definitely won't be one that you'll forget at least
Ender, i already have friends with a shikimori pfp, i dont know about that
meanwhile anya 10/10 best girl of year

...I think trying to pit her against Marin is a bit unfair
Can we just say best child
But then people forget
Yeeeeep
okay, there'd be ONE competitor
And she's quite the force in her own right
But guys
Y'all talking about main characters
But forgot the underdogs
not enough screentime
Can we legally say anya is best girl?
Did you forget which behemoth of a series was airing this season
yes

it's illegal to say otherwise
And I mean bigger than spy X family
This behemoth is also airing
didn't you say the first one was bad
Kaguya has always been solid
Who
Anyone that says kaguya is mid or straight up bad
Kaguya is pinnacle romcom
Is either named arutezza
@violet path
Or just being edgy for the sake of attention or being the contrarian
maybe im thinking of a different anime? idk. i don't remember animes i haven't seen
I'd be more surprised if he even watched it honestly
Kaguya is one of those Bisque Dolls or Spy X Family
i just remember one with a popular girl but the actual anime is supposed to be bad

Honestly with that statement alone its hard to narrow down
Chika is kaguya
Thats love is war 
Kaguya is an easy 8/10
Unless you just hate every damn romcom
I won't deny Chika is
Not a good character
Chika is purely comic relief for most of the series
Chika has moments
is she even the main character
Bruh
She fills the roll well enough, i dont mind chika
The series is literally called
i had my doubts when i saw the poster for kaguya 2
and chika is relatively tiny
also it's called kaguya
Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai
This is a certified moment
why not the ED
People normally talk about the OP
Because the OP is sung by a very famous Japanese singer

As in
what about the chika dance
shuki shuki
A bonafide singer
doki doki
oh
okay, ive only seen that ed
It did hit, though

This guy that sang it
Quite the chad ol' gentleman
He's Japan king of romance iirc
Sorry
King of Love Songs
Like wew that's real classy
Hawaiian shirt?
elton john with shades
Based
Shield hero?
Yeah
The ending was complete bs
Yes
They did
In the WN
Or rather in the webnovels
He and Raphtalia were forcefully sent back by the shield
Because basically the world was doomed
oh
They came back
so it is happy ending
...as god like beings
To save their world
Like I said
WN was weird
But at least it was straightforward
"The world was doomed"
"So it is a happy ending"
What?
The LN just made that same premise a billion times more complicated
Isn't WN is just a draft of Author?
...I mean well
Yesn't
A lot of modern light novels
Start as web novels
Which are basically
Just a rando posting his stories on the net
How wonder
It isn't necessarily a draft per se
How does one start publishing a web novel. I have a genius idea
But whut made it worst?
That's where they all come from
Shield Hero's main issue in the light novel is that
It becomes EXTREMELY complicated
Nah
It's not about bullshit or interesting
At the end of the day
Shield Hero WN ended with at least
A plausible ending
Except they LITERALLY became gods
A lazy ending is still better than a straight up bad one
It's... A long story
That is just unexpected
Which does include spoilers for the current shield hero LN
I thought he might end up with like the best hero on that world then have a chance to come back the world where he suppose to be with his harem
but it's ok
Nah
A GOD?
Thing is
Naofumi
Was never one for a harem
Heck
He never even acknowledged raphtalia's feelings until WAY later
Uh
And there's literally no one else
Till sadeena and atla come along
...and then one of them ||HAD to kick the bucket||
You literally create an account on like syosetu or kakuyomu and just post lol
what harem
Free account too

I feel like it become fantasy power some how
Thanks, i didnt know any platforms for it
Which is kinda lame

Even in sadeena case
i dont remember that
She was more egging on Naofumi to go for raphtalia
oh boy, crunchyroll comments gonna have a field day with raphtalia's age if that ever happens
...
Aqua raph age is the least of their issues
8.5 to 7 is a bit much
it's been sooooo less stressful ever since i switched to the 5 star system
It only really became one after s1
And even then not really
It is technically a power fantasy
But because of the way it's written it doesn't really come off as one

shield hero got weird when they started fighting super powerful enemies, but they're also... weak? or maybe just incompetent
I have it at a 5
i feel like a few of the boss enemies could single-handedly wipe out most of the planet if the heroes didn't exist
Namely, knock-off Kirito, Filophile and Misguided Hero of Justice
Yes..
That's WHY the heroes are there
The heroes are summoned because the waves cannot be handled by the people of the world
i honestly forget it's supposed to be a game sometimes

the other heroes seem to have played a variation of the world in a game tho
They don't take it seriously
The fact is
As Naofumi so points out
This isn't a game
The other heroes treat it like one
i mean, the world has consequences
Its got gamelike properties, not a game
but the power levels of the enemies feels designed after a video game
And it becomes especially clear with this season
The whole turtle thing they mention in ep 1
which is what i mean by it feeling trippy
Appears in the games they played
Which is why
They went on their own
Long before anything major happened
While Naofumi went to train in the village
A bit more
Mind you
The OP does spoil what happen to them after they do try to challenge the turtle
So don't watch it too closely
Sam
Did you watch the ep yet
i always skip the op now
Guess this better than Shield hero then, even it is power fantasy
I did

Its just
ops have too many spoilers
I didn't pay attention to the OP
usually leave them until like... episode 11 or 12
...
aw yeah, brown haired girl in fancy clothes
(ok no not really)
I'm just kidding raphtalia still is
Anyways
Sam you read the LN right
Or no
I forgot
Yeah up to like 1-2 volumes behind the official eng release
regarding what?
When they never did the village development properly
didnt they cut all the village development yeah
They never did the training properly
And that's not mentioning how much they skipped in the Cal Mira island arc
With l'arc and Therese
They have skipped over
yeah they did
I feel like Ender hate when it comes to harem anime 
Well its a harem anime
Nah
I do like my harem anime


Almost every harem that I watched, Ender rate is like 6-7
Yeah that one is
Which one?
Very very very mediocre
This
Oh yeah
The one with the loli and the big boob elf
S2 was so much better

It is power fantasy
But it's still shit
I read the first 3 volumes of the LN for it
just enjoy the comedy
Yami there are better power fantasy comedy out there
Mainly cause i was browsing the ebook section of my library
This one really had no substance
and they somehow had the first 3 volumes there
It did get better with s2

Ngl
Example?
S2 was much better than s1
sao
....bofuri
unexpected Sam
Konosuba
On a serious note i liked cautious hero as well



The animation wasn't good
Unfortunately
But the story was decent
And it was funny as hell
I know that one, I watch several eps, didn't enjoy comedy much, maybe I too old
I do follow the LN for cautious hero
Too old
....too old?
What the fuck
I'd expect you of all people to enjoy konosuba
You rate causion hero 7?
I did read like

I know it famous because Aqua, I watched it like 3 eps
didnt enjoy it mych
My only issue is that it got old really quickly
...so I say
But I went to read the cautious hero LN
All I can say is
Oh my

Sam

Did you totally like
i read the WN for it
Forget about the ||daughter||
It's after the anime
Before this
Nah quite sure it isn't
Because
There's
Almost no difference
In the WN and LN
im literally drawing a blank
Granted though its been like 3-4 years since I've read it
Sam did they not go to a 2nd world before this happened
Believe they did yeah
Second world was like ||very demonic from the start right||
or was that the third world

Yes
ok im remembering 
Third is the reverse of first
Like I said
No difference
That's the fucking LN
1st ep has aired yes
The animation is fantastic
What a brand new studio can do
Is it jc staff

Oh wait no
huh
The date a bullet movies
Yeah I've said this many times
Do I suppose to watch this before s4 or after?
But i dropped dal after Mayuri judgement movie
or it just a soin off?

yeah
I get that
Oh
Then after i watched like 5 min of s3 and dropped it cause cringe

Like why did they have to ||lolify everyone cmon guys||

It's a Booba anime
am i misremembering s3
we say no to loli herer
Anyways the first main girl in s3 isnt my cup of tea as well
Mayumi did as a prank
Not mayumi
Natsumi
#datealive #itsukashido #kurumi
Like I said
Wow
That's a tear
He doesn't like yoshino
that aint loli
Beside he do it for everyone sake
I really don't want to say it but she can be
yeah yoshino gives off subtle yandere vibes 
I guess
...ya kinda missed origami there pal
Anyways his eyes have always been for tohka
He did literally call her beautiful
Like in his honest feelings
He's never said that to the rest (honestly)
...ok no
That was ||at the end of s2|| right
There was that one time
When he went cuckoo
Cos of the powers running wild
And he became a complete flirt instead

this was s2 though right
Yoshiro?

really?
I dont see they interract that much in S1
neither s2
Anime didn't adapt everything
So ye
I admittedly
Need to finish the LN
But I'm currently reading something else
Its been like 4 years
For real I dont see Yoshiro interrated with Shidou that much
Namely the whole of natsumi arc


It is less than tohka and origami and kotori sure
But it is more than miku
More than natsumi
Less than the twins
Hmm
Way more than mana obviously
The LN I'm currently reading
Feels like
It's a mix of bakarina and genius prince
when you max out INT but you use WIS as your dump stat
Uh
This one is more of
Max out luck
But use common sense as dump stat
It's pretty interesting ngl
Oh great no blurb
Synopsis: Surrounded by the hate-filled gazes of her people, the selfish princess of the fallen Tearmoon Empire, Mia, takes one last look at the bleeding sun before the guillotine blade fallsβ¦ Only to wake back up as a twelve-year-old! With time rewound and a second chance at life dropped into her lap, she sets out to right the countless wrongs that plague the ailing Empire. Corrupt governance? Check. Border troubles? Check. Natural calamities and economic strife? Check. My, seems like a lot of work. Hard work and Mia donβt mix, so she seeks out the aid of others, starting with her loyal maid, Anne, and the brilliant minister, Ludwig. Together, they strive day and night to restore the Empire. Little by little, their tireless efforts begin to change the course of history, pushing the whole of the continent toward a new future. And why did the selfish princess have a change of heart, you ask? Simpleβshe didnβt. Sheβs just terrified of the guillotine. They hurt like hell, and Mia hates pain more than work.

Not something I'd really recommend personally?
It is dumb fun and at the same time real big bren
Idk how but it is what it is
Sounds like realist hero to an extent
Kinda is
Except
Let's be honest here
She isn't the brain
Usually
It's more of
People tend to overinflate what she thinks/does
If anything
It's like overlord
Like genuinely
It's really a sasuga Ainz Sama moment
Like everyone tends to think she's some genius mastermind
When... While she tries to be
Often isn't
Oh
Ascendance S3 starting today

because
it went downhill fast
Sheild hero's first part was really strong
only hits that high at a certain part that WILL be animated
EXTREMELY bad s1
Unbelievably
Horrible animation (note CGI)
Horrible pacing
Eh so ghosip was true
I heard it is bad adaption
...you need to see it to believe it
I only read manga
...
the manga total is good

but the s2 is meh
Rate manga as the manga
Rate anime as the anime
Anime can be better or worse than manga
... usually it's worse
But then you have exceptions like no game no life
And demon Slayer
No, it is like I already read ahead in manga so basically when I watch anime, if it is not cutting too much detail and I already know the true story behind it I would rate easier on anime
For me
I'm usually more critical
If anything
Since I know what to expect
Which is why
2 of my favourite LNs
Which both got animes
I personally rate 7.5
Which one are those 2
Ah the controversial one
Seirei Gensouki (Spirit Chronicles)
fxxk
The latter is especially meh anime wise
I read manga then i dropped

If people of this age can't approach fictional politics without hating it cos hurrdurr politics
Then this is a sad world
It's not control
It's rebuild

Cant debate with you until I start reading again
so I can prove you wrong

Oh really
Then I should start watching anime then
Way behind at this point
You're not gonna win me in any debates about realist hero
I've read the LN a good 10x so far
If anything
If people hate it because it deals with fictional politics
Then all I can say that non ficitonal politics in the real world are in a sad state
Or rather
Worrying
Manga is at early s2

I'm miffed more because it was given to a studio with a questionable track record
People are complaining about fictional politics?
I mean
^
Can't tell if he's being serious
I mean then again
When have people not hated fictional politics
especially if they happen to reflect real life issues
i mean well
if it's regarding political ideology then yeah it's also understandable lol
but realist hero's "real life comparisons"
are well, not particularly limited to ideology

The Onee-sama and the Giant
?
I fell asleep right after
Yes yes aru actually has good tastes

Luxion is best bot.
Biology; learn it
Mitochondria(Noun): the powerhouse of the cell
How can he eat 
gonna watch it tonight once my connection is a bit more stable 
if anyones got good taste its me
obviously
is good pfp 

π€
You like one piece and weird catgirl show
you mean the best selling manga of all time and monogatari, one of the most appraised light novels and anime
also hanekawa has the best tongue twister 

the first episode should have pointed something out
as to why
im not saying it as its a spoiler

if it overlooked that major crutal point
then the adaptation is trash
like its hyper vital

Whut anime is it
why it looks like it copy Ainz-sama

gaikotsu-kishi-sama-tadaima-isekai-e-odekakechuu
Skeleton Knight in another world

depending on the site you're watching it might not recognize the english name 
I mean it is a new anime right, might be up top of the month
yea
I took the japanese name from the site and googled it 
When he fell 
π
Did I misunderstand something 
But I don't like him , I like the elf girl more 
I want to see more of her 
I dont have netflix so I dont care 
Me neither 
To not complicate things too much
Mitochondria are the things within cells that turn glucose or whatever into energy the cell can use
I already said it
I learned nothing in school besides the fact that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Even the glucose part may not make any sense
They didnt teach me how to do my taxes so i just evade them

Sigma
Who here, PINGED ME
@solid nebula i did
Ok
Reply to last night's ping
Meh, doctor language is just weird

Yami
If all of biology was doctor language
Managing covid wouldn't be as big of an issue
Speaking of biology, we do have an anime about cell work. Have you watched it?
Yes

I mean
At a fundamental level
Kind of
I've studied immunology
It is definitely accurate to quite a remarkable degree
It isn't gonna help you pass your exams though
But it entertaining and knowledgable at the same time
Also doctor stone

I havent watch yet
But they rate it good
Dr Stone borders on
Read the manga too
Lol
Well how do I say this
Dr Stone is more of greatly exaggerated modern science
It is accurate
But obviously it does take a lot of artistic liberty
With how it does things
Still
An excellent show
Not that it'll teach you much
Cells at work is actually educational
Dr stone not really
Doesn't take away from the fact that it's a well written series though
Btw
Just be clear
WN is free on website right? And LN you have to buy it and other LNs that showed on website is illegal copy right right?

Basically
Yes
LN is actually published by a company
For monetary gain
A WN isn't
Well
LN = physical book, WN = some rando typed it online
So you did spend a lot of money on LN? Since you always saying stuff in LN most likely
There are legitimate websites you can buy light novels off

And read online
although theres ebook LNs, but thats basically same diff
It goes without saying doesn't it
Though it is far cheaper to buy ebooks online than physical copies
Wdym

Do you read every anime you hace watched

im pretty sure all JP LNs make it to print at least in JP
translated ones not making it to print sure that happens 
Only those I am interested
I do have a subscription so I don't need to buy everything

Anyways
Back to apothecary diaries
A series that deserves a good anime above all else
