pls be season 2 ||so i can see chapter 44 animated||
normal hare
it's a light novel
gilded ember
oh not this?
normal hare
uh no i have no idea what this is
I read the novel years ago
so no clue if they adapted it into a manga or not
but I don't trust ln to manga adaptations
maybe it's not called anthologies
it's been awhile
but basically it's 3 side volumes
following the story of sayaka
before and after the events of the main story

||wait i totally forgot her relationship, she reunited with her ex right?||

sayuri passed away at age 28 rip 😢
lycoris recoil ed is gonna hit so different now

was wondering why this manga has not updated for 7 months. turns out author was having family issues regarding the long term care o their parents. it's still in progress, but they have more free time now compared to when they were caring for their parent at home.
commendable, doing care while doing work is so taxing in many ways. 
it's also the reason why they only update in like 1 or 2 months before

normal hare
Knew it
Whenever they say they have announcements for a show it's almost never a sequel
Tokyo ghoul fans got baited earlier this year too
gilded ember
why would they make us anticipate for that man
i don't think its worth the attention 😕

you are ms. servant is gonna be so peak bruh
gilded ember
@normal hare when does frieren start to pick up because im at ep 7 rn and im kinda bored with the pacing lmao
normal hare
You should be just about that part
With the demons and stuff
The whole point of the show is that it's slow paced, it's an adventure
Some parts are hype and some are just mundane
gilded ember
i get that they really emphasize that frieren is basically immortal so she always just takes her time
normal hare
Yeah the whole point of this show is to get her to break out of her shell, she's so detached from everyone because of their limited life spans
Basically appreciate life cuh
vale bloom
this manga updates so slow lmao
at this rate i would hae a my own family if it ever finishes
19.5 chapters in two years

Because this is what Himmel would have wanted
gilded ember
its released i just finished it
@normal hare that ep was the most unhinged ep ever lol
normal hare
||as an anna fan I had the greatest time with this episode, so many great moments. Bro karen and bf are so freaky, in broad daylight 😭. Also I really loved all the small shoutouts, we got the four ribbon mention and even a makeine namedrop. Also forehead senpai is well versed in the way of stalking so of course she knew what sensei was up to 💀||
s2 please
gilded ember
nah thats up there with the toothbrush scene in monogatari
normal hare
this show somehow just makes the freakiest things normal
absolute cinema
also someone wife short sensei up
she deserves someone
gilded ember
||also right i wanna get to the ending for a sec, was they implying something between anna and nukumizu there?||
normal hare
||yeah it was a bit confusing, that scene where anna got close to him and looked like they were kissing, they just did not bother explaining what happened||
gilded ember
||i know this is just a filler ep but wtf bro they can't just do that to us||
normal hare
||teasing too many things, I did hear that the next arcs are gonna be more of a standard rom com, i need that s2 announcement asap||
gilded ember
aw damn so its finna be mid? jk
||also i miss that balance count anna has 1000 yen of debt to nukumizu once again 🤣||
normal hare
That's my broke 4k otter
gilded ember
i just want to retract my statement, i think makeine is also now my surprise anime of the season, like with stepsister i did have the intention of watching it while makeine would be a judged by ep basis
normal hare
I was super hyped for this when the preview dropped, the synopsis just sounded super interesting and original
Plus a1
Also kudos to a1 I didn't think they could level up
reef fog
just finished
that was too short for my liking
s2 please a1
they might wait a little since s1 covered vol 1-3 and ln just had vol 7 release a short while back

didn't realize last ep is out ill watch it right away
gilded ember
Just realised I'm also done with all the summer stuff after this
well ye fall season starts tonight
i wanna watch that crossdressing romcom its at 2 am tho ;-;
normal hare
Just watch it tmr lmao
Makeine really made me stay up past 1 just to catch it
Never again
azure ravine
good show 
reef fog
now that makeines over
it's blue box time
and then once that's done kaoru hana
peak
gilded ember
Makeine really made me stay up past 1 just to catch it
atleast almost all shows im watching this season are scheduled between 10-11 pm
you are ms. servant is replacing makeine's time slot 😢
azure ravine
ended up only finishing onk and wisteria for the season
vale bloom
im still watching red cat ramen and parry isekai
normal hare
feel really lazy to watch onk s2
this is why I really avoid reading ahead for shows that I really like
same thing happened when I read ahead for my hero, ending up losing all interest in the anime
ebon thunder
for me that case only happened with tokyo revengers
gilded ember
this is why I really avoid reading ahead for shows that I really like
ur not a fan of seeing those panels animated? i always look forward to it tbh
normal hare
It's just knowing what happens robs you of an experience you'll never get back
Would be cool to probably check out a few scenes
But watching the show in its entirety would be a bit of a drag
Much like how I only check out like fight scenes from one piece even though I've moved to the manga
I guess it works out if it's been long enough since i last read it
and my brain's kinda forgotten what happens
happened with jjk s2
and aot
gilded ember
maybe its just me but as a mostly romance reader, the anticipation of those confessions animated will always be pog
azure ravine
good expressions do carry
normal hare
yeah which is why I prefer to just stick to the anime if possible
more often than not a good anime adaptation will always be better than the manga
as in what would give me a better experience
normal hare
https://youtu.be/Nj07jGWpk80?si=_LEWTCzLdEKymTtQ goat channel uploaded the soundtrack, finally
calm frigate
the heck is that wistoria 12th ep. is it like the last episode of the season ? feels empty like a sudden wrap up
normal hare
it is the last episode of the season
gilded ember
well its netflix
azure ravine
pog means high quality legaly
gilded ember
azure ravine
great movie
normal hare
enjoyed as a teen
revisited it a few years later as an adult
messed me up really bad
your name has the nostalgia factor for me but silent voice as a story and message just hits so hard
reef fog
split wolf
i wanna watch that crossdressing romcom its at 2 am tho ;-;
which one is it
gilded ember
which one is it
split wolf
thank you
normal hare
Yeah the manga is more complete but the movie did a pretty damn good job squeezing everything into one hour
reef fog
yeah just finished manga, i lowkey wish we got some insight into the primary school reunion at the end but i guess im happy enough with the implication of a romance
while i dislike miki and ueno the manga also did a good job explaining why they are how they are
normal hare
not an unpopular opinion
miki is immensely hated in in the community
ueno at least acknowledges she's an awful person
i'm sad the film arc didn't get adapted
also yeah i think the implication of romance was more appropriate for this kinda story
gilded ember
@normal hare ur right im at ep 12 on frieren and it really did just start slow

now that ive finally read/watched a lot of peak shit i think a new 3x3 is due
i think i have a preferential genre lol
either high fantasy or romance 
normal hare
yeah uh that's a lot of romance
calm frigate
i still shed a tear everytime i see a canelle
normal hare
think mine goes something like this
think for me my 3x3 just goes by what shows just shook me on my first watch and left a lasting impression
not necessarily my top 9 favorite shows of all time
like i'd probably still rate silent voice over your name
but first experience and nostalgia win it points
calm frigate
mine's something like this 👴
i'd put naruto there too but there's just so much filler eps that i got force myself to list it as a favorite anymore
calm frigate
there's a similar genre with sao i forgot what it was but it's another VR online game which was a bit older i think i started with that and enjoyed the idea of like a nice detailed online mmorpg
and then sao first season is like the best one out of that genre
normal hare
.hack?
calm frigate
that and there's another one not too old let me try to find it
normal hare
sao's got a myriad of flaws and I get why the community is so divided on it, but it's just so much fun
calm frigate
log horizon!
normal hare
was one of my first few shows and i remember being so amazed
log horizon was great
first season at least
calm frigate
yea it is! that's also what i remember too the first season
normal hare
https://youtu.be/CQPBtL10jXg?si=PKEsoP3-XBCagi7D him buying the guild hall is still one of my favorite moments in anime
sao and log horizon really represent the two sides of gaming anime
one is the trashy power fantasy
and the other is the big brain slow paced well thought out world
both with their own appeals
calm frigate
i also liked the new ideas they have like secret quests and the things you can interact in the game world which is kinda lacking and kinda hard to implement on the actual mmorpgs we have today
i guess for balance and stuff lol
gilded ember
top to bottom
romance/sol/etc
calm frigate
ah right oregairu that's also super good. i'd probably switch out erased for that
normal hare
weathering with you hmm
i'd say out of the shinkai films it's the prettiest but in terms of story
left a lot to be desired
calm frigate
yea the story is fun but at the end i was like this is how you finish this story? it's not bad but i think it could have been more
normal hare
I guess it had the most satisfying ending in terms of a romance
cause they actually are together 
gilded ember
chill its the first anime movie i watched in the theaters and it's very memorable for me lol
calm frigate
with your name there's like a big surprise factor when you find out that they're not only switching bodies but timelines too
ah that's true. like first movie watch are nice as well
i think that's also the first anime movie i watched on theaters as well
gilded ember
weathering got the best ost of all makoto shinkai movies tho we agree?
calm frigate
ah hyouka too if i could add it in the list. i wish kyoani would have more for it but i guess it'll be awkward to continue it with how they ended the story
gilded ember
oh yea there's also hello world i like that makoto movie too
oh you know whats an underrated romance anime that i dont see people talk nowadays is chunibyo, i could replace it with angel next door lowkey
normal hare
I spent half the time cringing watching that which I guess is kinda the point
I think kyoani just has too many top tier romances under their belt
https://youtu.be/nj93DxZdwUs?si=D-91W9ftwdfCpibD thanks youtube reccs
calm frigate
a bit of that clip reminded me of inuyasha's ost
normal hare
don't bother trying to find out what it is
azure ravine
still waiting on final log horizon season
dont think it was ever even announced to be in the works
vale bloom
hinamatsuri's author, ohtake masao made another comedic series lol
body swap gradeschooler and hitman
only 7 chapters
reef fog
alright time to continue with the depression anime
gonna watch i want to eat your pancreas
friend says he liked that better than a silent voice but asv hit me hard on a personal level so idk
calm frigate
there's that 2 version movie i forgot the title. they say you can only watch one because the story doesnt quite work when you watch the other
normal hare
alright time to continue with the depression anime
make sure to watch 5 centimeters per second, one of shinkai's earlier films
doesn't make you cry balls but it leaves a deep void in your heart
rustic lynx
reef fog
alright
if a silent voice tore my heart apart and put it back together
i want to eat your pancreas gave me a vaccine but blew it up into pieces anyway
reef fog
doesn't make you cry balls but it leaves a deep void in your heart
sounds wonderful
whoops sorry ping
pretty sure i have violet evergarden to watch next
normal hare
i want to eat your pancreas gave me a vaccine but blew it up into pieces anyway
it was cute while it lasted 
can I cry now
reef fog
his ||last text to her being i want to eat your pancreas|| was tragic
i think i cried three times watching it lol
gilded ember
I think kyoani just has too many top tier romances under their belt
cloverworks lowkey could go head to head with them
normal hare
in the modern era probably yeah, kyoani hasn't released too much ever since the tragedy
but alltime i think they're still the benchmark
especially if you want to factor in artstyle/animation
they have a very distinct brand
gilded ember
you like them sharp ahh faces back in the day 🤣

it's just so refreshing
altho the title definitely is on the level of bunny girl senpai and i want to eat your pancreas lol
normal hare

i didnt struggle with asv after i finished it but pancreas left me unable to function normally the next day lol
asv fucked me up during
normal hare
Yeah cause at least silent voice has a very happy ending
Pancreas is just like fuck we gotta move on
5cm per second is a good watch if you want that kind of feeling
normal hare
It's a lot shorter though
Less of an impact but I was left feeling very empty
One of those shows where you try to find an alternate ending online
reef fog
also gotta watch edgerunners
but imma do that after semester ends so i can jump right on the game

There's some shows that feel good to cry over
Then there are some that feel awful like pancreas

finished days with my stepsister up to v10 since v11 is still being ftled
it's honestly dragging a bit like ||roshi because neither yuuta nor saki has once stopped to think that it's pretty normal for 17yo strangers to develop feelings for a good person that they're suddenly forced to live with so they don't have to hide it from everyone

but author's stated that they want to write about college arc so i guess we feasting

it depends on the ln
most official ones you can find on justlightnovels
and ftl ones are just scattered on the web

mainly been jnovels for me
LNs without anime adaptations novelupdates is the go to place
normal hare
usually for novels with decent followings, the community has answers for where to find translations
gilded ember
where do you find the communities
reef fog
normal hare
same

though it's been ages since i've joined one
the only ones i'm still in are mahouka/cote
reef fog
im in a lot of manga ones cuz it's hard for me to remember when new chapters release
normal hare
dat's what mihon's for

mihon sometimes doesnt update me on the newer stuff is that a bug

Smart updates
Mihon intelligently works to reduce the number of series in a global update to reduce the load on sources. To be updated, a series has to meet the following conditions:
The series has been started, you've read at least one chapter.
The series is not marked Completed by the source, there's an expectation of more chapters in the future.
The series has no unread chapters, you've read all the chapters you already have,
There's been enough time since the last update for the series that the app predicts a new chapter is available. You can see how often the app predicts a new chapter for a series by looking at the hourglass. After that many days, the app will alow that series to check for updates.

Weird way to spell highschool dxd

i must be insane
vale bloom
it took a me 5-10 minutes to finish a chapter doingthis
hope someone pick this up for translations
gilded ember
it also won best storytelling, drama and soundtrack which is valid
also might be shooting myself in the foot also since i have no experience with onk lol
normal hare
Onk s2 is like the best arc of the series so I think if there's a peak for this show this is it
reef fog
Onk s2 is like the best arc of the series so I think if there's a peak for this ...
i agree but i also think it peaked too fast into the season so i can't put it higher than makeine, stepsis and alya
after the ||himekawa brother reveal|| it's such a slog to get through
if i didn't read makeine i would say that makeine was my aots but since i'm a bit sad they left out so much from lemon's volume i personally put stepsis first
(i also loved the stepsis lns)
stepsis -> makeine -> alya -> onk for me
i think a reread of stepsis and makeine are due
hangover is really strong this season
gilded ember
blue box is airing tho
reef fog
true
gilded ember
blue box ep 2
||it must be hard to hold back especially the one person you have a crush on is living with you all of a sudden i really feel for taiki 😭
i have a question about hina, is she really on the contention with chinatsu? idc abt spoilers pls i need to know if she's just one of those filler love triangle girls
oof man taiki caught chinatsu out of all people his senpai on the badminton club, yikes the misunderstandings will go insane the next ep 😔||
reef fog
blue box ep 2
||it must be hard to hold back especially the one person you have...
||taiki never has eyes for hina if that answers ur question||
||it's always one sided until hina moves on||
gilded ember
ah i knew it from a mile away lol
reef fog
yeah ||i love hina 
||
gilded ember
||pink haired girls always lose man its so sad||
reef fog
god now i wanna reread blue box
reef fog
ah right
gilded ember
actually didn't that ||pink haired girl on more than a married couple win||
she might be the only anomaly
normal hare
problem with days with stepsis is the last two episodes I really didn't like
ep 12 was executed very weirdly and ep 11 was just a disaster from start to finish
reef fog
from a viewers point ep 11 is devastating but it makes sense ||assuming ur talking abt the whole nii san thing||
ep 12 im pretty sure they condensed an entire volume ||so they can get the confession in 💀 || (nvm vol was split 11 and 12)
normal hare
||basically the whole conversation between saki and the college counselor was bad||
I ranted about it back then
reef fog
||basically the whole conversation between saki and the college counselor was ba...
was ||counsellor 11 or 12? i genuinely cant remember details are all jumbled up||
oh ep 11
normal hare
I just felt like they had something really good going and then messed up the execution near the end
left me with a slight sour taste
reef fog
I just felt like they had something really good going and then messed up the exe...
yeah thats how i felt reading it in source as well
normal hare
but overall the series was pretty good
like 1-10
great stuff
also as much as we don't like to, I feel like the animation was slightly lacking
felt a bit too robotic at times whether it was their expressions or actions
reef fog
i really enjoyed fujinami and yuuta tho
normal hare
I like fujinami as a character but the whole thing just felt out of nowhere
reef fog
yeah we did have a pretty nugu studio doing it
normal hare
mhmm it's good enough but like if we're talking aots
gotta be more critical ig is what i'm saying
reef fog
yeah i think objectively its makeine
but they left so much out from lemons volume it just didnt feel complete
normal hare
makeine was just perfect from start to finish, didn't feel like any episode there was a dip in interest for me
gilded ember
they voted it more on shock value, like nobody expected a stepsister anime to be this good
reef fog
your lie in april
normal hare
which is saying a lot considering how many big titles they have under their belt
reef fog
but close
your lie in april had the best animation ive seen period
because u get like demon slayer and jjk with these huge cool action scenes that look amazing
reef fog
but your lie in april absolutely KILLED it with all the subtle stuff like the music scenes and the details
any anime that does music right deserves every praise
normal hare
it's been too long ngl I can barely remember your lie in april
I did remember the music being great
reef fog
orange is the goat ed
reef fog
time to get on violet evergarden
was gonna but i ended up watching stepsis and reading it instead
now im looking at watching then reading otonari no tenshi
normal hare
the novels for tenshi are so much better
me and my friends weren't a fan of the anime adaptation
reef fog
ueueuhh theres too many good anime nowadays
and lns/manga
i still wanna check out the anime first tbh
thats what i always do for lns
so i can visualise it easier while reading
normal hare
for me it's because I just can't go from LN to anime
my imagination just kinda goes wild for the novels
so when I actually see it in anime form
it tends to disappoint sometimes
reef fog
fair enough
normal hare
I think the anime is fine if you don't read the lns
reef fog
i know ill enjoy it for sure
my taste in entertainment has verh low bars
its why i love shikimori lol
normal hare
it's every man's fantasy
living next to beautiful girl and the romance slowly develops
like what is there not to like
reef fog
yeah true
normal hare
these kinda stories just cave into what we want so even if it isn't done well it's still good food
reef fog
yea id love to have a russian girl flirt with me in russian or have a pretty thoughtful girl become my stepsister basically as adults
reef fog
these kinda stories just cave into what we want so even if it isn't done well it...
yeah this is why nukumizu is bloody stupid
normal hare
reef fog
i say this while habing a girlfriend of nearly 3 and a half years
issok she talks about day6 members i talk about 2d girls
normal hare
good balance
also I love hina
unfortunately chisato exists
but they're very neck and neck for me
reef fog
hina might be my goat waifu tbh
normal hare
any smug anime girl is top tier
reef fog
anime made hina and chinatsu soooo pretty
normal hare
yeah i haven't watched it yet but it looks gorgeous
very close to the manga
i'm glad they chose good colors
reef fog
tbh top 4 anime from last season had the goat waifus unironically and now blue box too
normal hare
i didn't want another horimiya moment where the hair colors are off
reef fog
within the span of a few months we got kanakane, hina and chinatsu, alya masha yuki ayano (i refuse to include nonoa), saki yomiuri maaya, yanami lemon chika shikiya karen
all fantastic characters and waifus
....maybe karen was super generic but we cant ignore 8k
i think it was the season i was most invested into ever
reef fog
i gotta watch that too
normal hare
I liked the side girl more I think
from the few episodes i watched
I don't even know if i have a goat waifu
feels like there's just a lot that are really great
gilded ember
most of my fav girls have pink hair i just noticed that
reef fog
i think my top 2 are hina and shouko
normal hare
oh wait
reef fog
also does help that over time characters were written so much better
so im more biased towards recent characters
normal hare
probably tohsaka and kallen from code geass
normal hare
girl been through a lot
normal hare
yeah it's hard to say one for sure
normal hare
i had a really hard time watching the primary school scenes
yeah it was ugly but necessary
made his redemption only better imo
reef fog
i really like saki from stepsis too but i feel like she's wayyyyy to closeted socially
normal hare
yeah I can't do introverted girls
i'm pretty introverted myself so any of the energetic/smug/teasing girls
always win my heart easily
reef fog
i love the makeine girls but i wouldnt say any of them are high up on waifu list
maybe karen...
normal hare
it hurts but it's so true
like we only see karen appear very little throughout the show
but you can easily see why she won
she just has aura
reef fog
yanamis a bit too gremlin for me
like unironically gremlin
if yuki is someone whos ironically gremlin
reef fog
i prefer futaba but mai also great
normal hare
these two might be one of my favorite couples in all of anime
I just love how back and forth their convo flows
it's so in sync
normal hare
an actual good imouto for once
reef fog
these two might be one of my favorite couples in all of anime
definitely has one of the best chemistries
normal hare
i'm usually not too big of a fan of imouto characters
but yuki plays into the stereotype
so well
gilded ember
oh you know chill waifus are pretty rare too, that mfl in call of the night was amazing
reef fog
in anime, at least, because kaoruko and rintaro are so so so fucking cute together
gilded ember
reef fog
god now i NEED more gojo and marin aswell
normal hare
normal hare
god now i NEED more gojo and marin aswell
i can't deal with these updates man
too much time
reef fog
next update is still in like 2 weeks
still waiting for frieren chapters too but that gets a pass since we getting s2
normal hare
like it did not take me much time to catchup
reef fog
pls kyoani after we get kaoru hana pls make bisque s2
and have it 25 eps so we can at least get a good ending to all the lowkey boring filler in the middle
reef fog
fr
what couldve been
anyways absolutely PRAYING for makeine and stepsis s2
i think we'll get makeine but im not so confident about stepsis
normal hare
I already know it's gonna be top 3 for me
normal hare
I don't have time to watch anime yet I need to catch up on all my gacha games 💀
reef fog
💀
reef fog
oh same
except id say makeine draws with stepsis for me
so both
i really wish onk didnt drop the ball after tokyo blade
because the animation for onk was fucking phenomenal
normal hare
I still haven't caught the anime adaptation yet so can't say
I don't even remember what happened from the manga anymore
too many series going through my head i just can't remember shit anymore
reef fog
animation is still great its just that the story becomes pretty mediocre
and i really value how good the writing is
akasaka was a bit too into apex and vtubers at the time
normal hare
think out of these three frieren still tops
i love romance
but a great fantasy action is just right up my alley
re zero might be in the mix too
reef fog
i love love frieren but i think romance and sols are just whats good for me
gives me happiness
while frieren was more like "now THIS is cinema"
normal hare
I'm just obsessed with fantasy, the escapism it provides is just like a drug. Actions just gets my blood pumping
I love feeling happiness but my calling is to die sacrificing myself against a legion of vikings
reef fog
respect
normal hare
just appeals to my primal instincts
reef fog
i love romance, it sounds super weird but in a way its escapism from my real relationship
normal hare
interesting perspective
reef fog
id give the world to my girlfriend but relationships irl arent always fun
normal hare
like do you just not like to see the ugly sides of relationships?
ah
yeah I guess you want a taste of the more idealized romance
free of any of the ugliness like fighting or jealousy
reef fog
yep exactly
normal hare
makes sense
reef fog
also, characters in romance/sol are just more relatable than say stark lol
normal hare
hmm i'd say it's more relatable in a setting, but how they behave and react to certain situations are very much relatable
reef fog
true
normal hare
like stark is just a lad
he's scared
but he fights to protect his loved ones
very relatable
reef fog
yeah
normal hare
cause i'd be scared as shit too
yeah I guess i just crave an even bigger form of escapism in anime, I just love seeing settings that aren't possible in our world that feels so dull and empty
magic, swords, elves, chivalry inject that shit into my veins
reef fog
i love both but atm i just prefer romance
normal hare
fair enough
it's really a vibe kinda thing for me too
like what do I need at the moment
reef fog
my girlfriend always tells me that we feel like a married couple already so maybe i just miss the honeymoon phase
normal hare
makes sense, most anime romances usually depict the road to getting together
you rarely see shows where they get together early on
so it leaves a lot of excitement and spice to experience
reef fog
not just getting together early/late, just the whole dynamics of like newfound excitement and stuff
like in horimiya/kaoru hana
and stepsis (in lns)
normal hare
yeah but like it's the same thing for relationships in real life, I'd say that most of the excitement comes from the getting to know the person and developing feels, and the early stages of actually being tgt
reef fog
설렘 is the best way i can describe jt
normal hare
and most animes they usually get together near the end
very rarely do you see stuff like horimiya where they start dating within a few episodes
reef fog
yeah true
normal hare
but in horimiya's case it's pretty fine cause the whole show is just slice of life
without any drama in it
reef fog
yep essentially
i also tjink thays why i havent enjoyed rascal does not dream as i have other romances
i liked sister venturing out and knapsack kid
but i wouldnt rate it super high
altho rascal does not dream is less romance and more drama imo
normal hare
yeah they do get together really early on
mentioned it before but their chemistry was just what kept me watching more and more
I just loved whenever they were on screen talking together
could literally be about nothing and i'd still watch it
the banter is just so entertaining
I realized i just watching characters interact
plot doesn't even have to be too great
but put two interesting anime characters in a room and just having them talk is enough for me
reef fog
as long as the writing is great ill keep watching/reading whatever
i barely finished jjk, only finished it cuz it was basicslly over anyway, and im not too big of a fan of onk and just reading it because akasakas proven he can write peak fiction
normal hare
I usually don't let a fandom dictate how i feel about a series
but the jjk leakers absolutely ruined it for me
like I didn't think anything could get worse than aot
jjk post shibuya arc i really kinda stopped caring
ebon thunder
Culling game arc was really full of walls of text
