50% are Ave Mujica seiyuus 
normal hare
yeah i need to watch that soon
also need to go on a bit of a rant
just finished watching golden time finally after like 10 years and i've not been pissed from a show since reading rent a girlfriend
teal crag
lol
normal hare
first of all it's incredibly overdramatic, the characters are all schizo and like switching up moods every half an episode, it also has a lot of the old anime romance tropes that haven't aged too great, also GHOST BANRI
watched it cause a friend kept egging me on
I was having a stroke every 3 episodes i can't believe i made it to the end
how on earth did the same author write toradora
like toradora was by no means perfect but i still enjoyed it quite a bit
gilded ember
totally forgot abt golden time it has been on my watchlist dungeon for awhile now lol
normal hare
i'm just super disappointed cause i was kinda looking forward to it for so long 💀
and have also just heard a lot of positive things about it being one of the romance classics of that era
gilded ember
i heard the couple journey was the best part of the show
normal hare
they did get better as the show progressed but the way they got tgt was just very rushed and outta nowhere
sullen pine
lmao i used to love golden time
i think what made it good was that it wasn't an anime that stopped after the couple got together and more like the life of the couple was shown during the anime
normal hare
yeah it was nice to see a couple navigate through couple things, sadly it needs a lot more than that
i'm sure it was good for its time
cause there were a lot of aspects of it that I enjoyed or saw potential in that didn't quite get realized
https://youtu.be/n4XhS1_GPWU?si=Pmg3rlrCpvV_DVNl ed song is one of the greatest of all time still

cause there were a lot of aspects of it that I enjoyed or saw potential in that ...
yeah now that i've cooled down, i was just really disappointed with how they treated the side characters
oka chinami just got completely forgotten about, yana just moves on from her cause she "rejected" him
and then somehow he and linda end up falling in love in the end or at least it's hinted at
linda deserved so much better
it just felt like they were trying to matchmake people who didn't really jell too well with
like we barely saw any interaction between linda and yana

man, so many good slice of life shows this season, 3 of my top 5 shows are sol by far, one of the more comforting seasons we had in a while
normal hare
some nice peace in the world
gilded ember
its genuinely nice to get some air off from the real world coming from these shows
makes me want to travel to japan so badd
normal hare
it's so funny the japan trip meme is so real
so many of my friends have gone and want to go
my family is planning one for october
normal hare
its genuinely nice to get some air off from the real world coming from these sho...
love peace and happiness
then the summer of love
good time
gilded ember
it's so funny the japan trip meme is so real
they're mainly focused on the big cities, i wanna explore the countryside the most
actually i think i lied, I've been to okinawa when i was 5 but i forgot about that trip already
normal hare
5 💀
the only part i didn't really like was osaka
not really a big city
not a country side
so there's not really a lot to do
hokkaido is #1 on my list
definitely not influenced by that gyaru anime at all
gilded ember
i wanna go to Hokkaido but i know the cold is gonna kick my ass
gilded ember
idk if u know ludwig, he did a series on exploring japan with no map, the part when they went t Hokkaido was really interesting
normal hare
yeah i've seen that
i've kinda been around tokyo
so i'm mostly satisfied in that department
dont think kyoto will be too different
hokkaido looks like it has the most unique culture
gilded ember
for me right, i think fuji is gonna be my best location to visit by far and the surrounding areas too
normal hare
my friends just went and got cooked by bad weather even tho they planned ahead
gilded ember
yea i heard japan weather is unpredictable
welp nothing you can do about that
also back to anime, summer pockets really feels like i came back from 2013 or smth cuz this is insanely nostalgic from the animation to the vibes of the show
||the mc just needs some work cuz he actually is kinda of a weirdo lol||
but other than that, this is definitely going to be one of those slowburn shows
normal hare
sad i have to wait till it finishes cause my friend wants to watch it w/ me lol

I will listen when I eventually watch it
gilded ember
normal hare
you said the weathermon arc was peak iirc but s2 was better?
gilded ember
s2 has less action especially in the 2nd half of the show
but its more of a bridgeway to s3 cuz it looks like the action is gonna be insane there

95% happy AveMuji getting the recognition, 5% salty MyGo didn't get the same 
I think Bushiroad deciding not to put Bang Dream! in the title helped AveMuji gain significant popularity
People see Bang Dream in the title and probably think it's a direct sequel to the original Bang Dream series and that puts off a good percentage of viewers because they think they have to watch the other shows
gilded ember
that was me
rustic lynx
That was probably a crux for MyGo unfortunately
Which is why it didn't blow up as much
normal hare
yeah I remember seeing bang dream like 8 years ago and just thought it was some love live ripoff

The manga is pretty deep in and I heard it's actually good
So hopefully no more chasing ghosts and time travelling
sullen pine
i am following the manga rn it has gotten...interesting?
i am not sure what to think of the story
normal hare
my friend who's caught up says it has
the only downside is the monthly releases
which is like the reason why it made no sense that they started airing the anime so soon
well I get that they wanted to keep the momentum going after shipudden ended
but they had not enough content and ended up turning away a lot of fans from it
rustic lynx
MyGo made a cameo in Cardfight Vanguard

@normal hare you watching this?

gilded ember
yea its getting one that's why the distributor is crunchyroll
normal hare
animation looks clean, i'll give it a go
gilded ember
idk why but i don't really fw chinese animation
i tried watching ep 1 of to be hero x but the animation looks weird
normal hare
it reminds me more of western animation you're not wrong
if you watched into the spiderverse it looks a lot like that
https://youtu.be/Tv1k6r5ksUU?si=SbOPeoJvQUH_cO8I it's so weird cause it looked like this in the trailer?
gilded ember
might just be the jp trailer
gilded ember
if you watched into the spiderverse it looks a lot like that
yea i watched that and didn't like the art also lol
normal hare
too animepilled 
but yeah i prefer to keep my western and jp animation separate
if it had looked like the trailers i probs would've watchd
vale bloom

apocalypse hotel might be the most intriguing series of the season along with kowloon
such a mix of vibes, sadness, emptiness
very unique feeling

did u watch the new danjoru episode
normal hare
she is very over the top yeah
at this point it's just waiting for her to get her own reality check
where she realizes she can't mess around with his feelings
cause i think it's pretty clear she likes him but isn't aware
gilded ember
you'll really hate her after ep 3

i can't man like ive never been this pissed about a character before lmfao

I'm just gonna enjoy it for what it is now, I'm not expecting a lot, it's just trashy junk food for me with cute designs and romance fantasy
normal hare
Socially awkward girl, athletic tomboy, smart nerd girl, twintail tsundere, onee san this dude got all the tropes down
And I like their chemistry so far
Plot could be absolute garbage but if the girls are cute and I like their interactions a lot of things can be made watchable
gilded ember
to each their own
normal hare
yep
also i've just come to realize my brain is too fried to enjoy pure SoLs
like there needs to be some interesting gimmick added to it
been a long time coming
i usually don't have that problem if it's been a long enough time
but if i've just read it recently then yeah
probably just don't continue
i need to give stuff time before i reread/watch
gilded ember
also i've just come to realize my brain is too fried to enjoy pure SoLs
i need to watch em since im tryna learn the language and most of their convos are applicable to the real world yk
normal hare
💀
still think it's not really a good source to learn from
even if it's not as exaggerated as a harem ecchi show
gilded ember
im not saying its my main source of learning lol
i goto a japanese learning school also, its more so a entertaining source of learning

oh ok lol that's a lot more understandable
gilded ember
nahhh i disagree
oh well it depends on what type of SOL genre we are talking about, cuz adventure SOLs are mostly more enjoyable in anime form
never heard of it
yuru camp is a good example of a good SOL adventure anime
anything early 2000s related i probably never heard of
gilded ember
maybe ill binge once i find the time to
normal hare
just takes a lot of effort to go back to catch up
especially with the insane amount of shows coming out since
normal hare
i can't man like ive never been this pissed about a character before lmfao
ok i get what you mean LOL
idk but i can't get too pissed about it maybe i just like red flags
she's definitely getting in her feelings
and it's coming back to bite her
i did like that it didn't go how i expected
thought she'd just storm off but bro stood on business
gilded ember
and it's coming back to bite her
||that part when she tried to play with him with the kissing stuff again was hella crazy mannn||

EXPLAIN??
normal hare
not me personally but a lot of people hated that she didn't wait for him
i was on that train when i was younger but as i got older
it started to dawn on me that it was kinda crazy that she'd wait that long
one of those realistic endings where people wanted the fairytale ending
i guess for a more realistic answer it'd probably be yuno from future diary
it's either you love or hate that she's a psycho
if it's just hate for a female character then probably ichigo from darling in the franxx or mami from rent a girlfriend
yo now that i've said it himari really does remind me of mami a good bit but not a crazy
she was basically the main reason people watched the show]
it's why yanderes become so popular
rustic lynx
Tbh yeah, as time passed I sorta understood that this is the best ending
MC's main goal was to save Kayo. ||So the ending where he gets introduced to Kayo's husband and child, made his main goal complete||
||I would've preferred if the killer stayed dead though instead of showing up at MC's hospital and trying to kill the MC after all those years||
normal hare
something i've learned about myself with anime
sometimes i just want a happy ending
and not a realistic one
i watch anime for escapism
normal hare
like if i think about recent big show endings that i was not happy with
aot and oshi no ko
they did not have very happy endings
i'm a simple man
don't worry about it not missing too much
rustic lynx
Ngl, that just made it more interesting for me 
Made it spicy
I've just watched so many romance or love triangle anime that they all just started molding into one
So when OnK went for the "spice", it gave it some sort of fresh feeling
gilded ember
its really insane why they adapted the bad ending
but thanks to that boat meme was born
normal hare
i'd say they executed it a bit better in the anime but for the most part it's the same ending
i wouldn't go as far as to say it sucked, it was more like aight that's solid
but it wasn't happy
pretty sure he was written in that way
the whole point of school days was just to make u mad

gilded ember
best domekano arc was the school trip arc

Eh it's not what it seems at first tbh
In the later chapters, you find out the step-daughter is cooking something sinister in the background. The mystery of what it is, is what's keeping me hooked
rustic lynx
27 chapters in and still no hint on why she's doing what's she doing 
Well, if you want a touch of mystery/detective in your fanservice manga, there's always Shikisaki Sisters
normal hare
just watch bunnygirl senpai, college arc coming soon
the best of mystery romcom and fanservice combined
gilded ember
it became overrated once the Hypebeasts found it
rustic lynx
Good

rustic lynx
A beast that hypes duhh 🙄
normal hare
i don't get too bothered about this, i don't like to gatekeep shows
rustic lynx
Get with the times unc
normal hare
if it gets more popular then all the better
that's what i assumed so i didn't understand it in this context 😭
yeah that's a big downside
no real community behind it

It's a niche series is what I mean

It's like 95% the first anime people think of when they think sad depressing anime
MAL ratings are kinda shrewed tbh
normal hare
i think for the most part mal has shows pretty accurately
rated
like i can't really think of anything that's undeserving of its score
rustic lynx
People rate shows they think as mid as a 7 when they could've just rated it a 5. Because you know, 5/10 literally the middle
normal hare
People rate shows they think as mid as a 7 when they could've just rated it a 5....
that's why my cutoff for mal shows are below 7
rustic lynx
smh
normal hare
i'm not young anymore i don't have time to give the shiny garbage a try
oh wow one piece fan letter is up there

rustic lynx
that's why my cutoff for mal shows are below 7 <:wonkekw:654585693590519818>
SAO 2 is 6.71 :3
normal hare
i made my mal after i watched sao
also i was like 13
so i consumed garbage like junk food
rustic lynx
True, that's why I got burned out from all the romance and ecchi harem shows
normal hare
highly should
yeah in terms of personal growth, passion, intensity, not a lot like it out there
one of the few times i've cried to a non sad scene

that wasn't bad for a good period

i've always heard the criticisms about the overuse of fanservice in that show
but never knew how much it actually affected the viewing experience
i stopped like halfway thru s1

i've always heard the criticisms about the overuse of fanservice in that show
It’s pretty fucking bad, but it’s really on just one character and she’s not even featured much. But I still think the story is great that it overshadows that part

Time to buy the blu ray folks

The tough part for international fans is just finding convenient outlets to support
At most it's like getting a crunchyroll or netflix subscription
gilded ember
how do you even become a die hard fan of a show, like unless the seasons are still ongoing those finished products will slowly fade away unless the replay ability is very good
i definitely watch legally
its so easy to just find ways to watch shows now for free so atp idc about the paid services lol
yep its literally superior over paid sites
normal hare
If there was a good site that I could pay for I would
Last time I tried the crunchy free trial it went really bad
So I gave up

downloading stuff isnt even necessary nowadays

since its made by shaft let me compare it to some shows combined:
it's like madoka magica, some monogatari, and a sprinkle of quintuplets (romance aspect atleast) but ninja and killing and gayge
or simply put, its literally mahoako but ninja

Oh you talking anime of all time lmaooooo

I've never understood the hype behind tsuki ga kirei
It's about the most average romance out there
Also wtf people liked steins gate 0 more than the og steins gate lol
Kinda based

kaguya and bunny girl being 1 and 2 means there's still hope out there

Eromanga sensei top 10 LMAO, also what is youjo senki doing at 11
Very strange list
Not really obscure anime but not very well known either
Can't even say recency bias cause youjo senki and erosensei are like 7 years old atp
Need to know who they polled

At the time at least I dunno how it lives up HAHA
austere skiff
(for legal reasons this is a joke)
yonezu kenshi
yeah
yeah i like garnt
but if i ever have to explain the difference between an immigrant and an expat
normal hare
i mean he has great anime takes, he's just not a music guy
he's probably the biggest anituber rn and still watches everything
been that way for the past decade
yeah that's joey's speciality
a shame he isn't that big of an anime guy anymore
but he's a music nerd to the core
austere skiff
i know he had bradio
normal hare
smokey joey
austere skiff
bradio was the only music i listened to for like 5 years too
still probably 30% of what i listen to
normal hare
he's just like you too bro he collects hella vinyls
austere skiff
a shame he isn't that big of an anime guy anymore
i think i understand this part of joey
normal hare
oh i for sure understand it but i just don't like his way to approaching it
he's also always been a music guy
since he was a student
austere skiff
he still loves anime, but finds most of what comes out uninteresting
normal hare
see if that was how he actually viewed it I would understand, but i think he just dismisses most of modern day shows as isekai and reused slop
just isn't true
what's true is that there's more anime being made than ever
so that means there's a lot more slop
but also still great shows
back then it was a lot easier when there weren't that many shows coming out every season
if he's just burned out from watching then I'm perfectly fine with it, even i'm at that stage
but I just don't like judging without actually looking into it
yeah that's his 3rd channel, just focused on music stuff
https://youtu.be/6OqnOcqmbWI?si=HkDeX-DAuSO_MNhX this was another good one he made recently
love that he still revisits anime stuff occasionally
cause he was the first anime youtube guy i got back into back when i was a kid
i usually always give it a first listen at least to see if i like it or not
gilded ember
i dont trust garnts opinion ever since his op/ed streams
he disrespected my great beloved k-on he said k on is boring how mann
normal hare
garnt just really dislikes true slice of life
he really loved bocchi and girls band cry
gilded ember
he loves a place further than the universe that's sol
normal hare
true slice of life
place further is a lot deeper
k-on they're just there to vibe
the kinda show where you're ok with just them being cute and having fun
gilded ember
even tho its well known i still love op 13 and will always be my fav gintama op
its both by spyair right
i wanna watch gintama but like everyone says you need to understand japanese culture/humor to get most of the show
normal hare
i watched like 40 eps
it's just funny honestly
you don't need to know all that, but yeah shounen jump
austere skiff
no togenkyo alien?
also yeah gintama is funny regardless
that the only one i remember the name of
been a long time since i watched
normal hare
yeah long shows are just a tough watch for me nowadays, i haven't even touched one piece in years
for sure
gilded ember
them reddit dudes who says they rewatched gintama 4 times already like how

it's a shame the pacing in the anime got cooked as time went on cause it's such an amazing experience
just gotta wait for wit studio's remake

i think for the most part they have pretty justified opinions
like obviously tastes are subjective but there's also real legit critique to shows
gilded ember
its the clickbait era what can we do
tbf i do rely on mal ratings alot since its the best and really the only good reliable rating site in the anime world
normal hare
like we mentioned before it is subjective but mal usually has a good gauge of how good a show is
yeah at the end of the day watch what you like
scores are just for the nerds that want to discuss how good shows are

this is spoilers, but if you dont know what its from you will probably never guess
gilded ember
i never thought watching 12 animes in one season was gonna be this tiring like i know that's alot but i was thinking that it would be a breeze watching these shows
like i still do have shows that im awaiting for every week (mainly the sol ones) and i think i won't be dropping a show for the rest of the season hopefully but some of them I've just been on autopilot with which atp might aswell finish it cuz maybe the storylines will get interesting
also doing it this season was such a bad idea too if next season wasn't stacked like the gods with great debut and continuing series upon us
but alas that's my report halfway onto the season (also if ur wondering why im doing this, its because i have spring break and nothin to do so why not)
yea its my personal record actually lol
yea it is
this is the best arc so hopefully they dont fuck it up
calm frigate
i dont remember what arc it is anymore
it's been so long since i've seen the manga. viz doesnt update it frequently

i dont remember what arc it is anymore
monster association arc
it ended when ||Saitama punched that centipede||

I can barely keep up with weekly shows nowadays
i usually just binge em at the end of the season unless it's something i'm super engaged with
when you've got that many shows to keep up with it starts to feel like a chore

as a man who just came back to this medium since pretty much back in the early 2010s, it highkey reignited a fire in me to watch much more anime than ever before

only happens once in awhile for me when i find a show that wows me
