#

zamn ur phone aint lagging?

normal hare
#

it basically gets put to "sleep"

#

so technically it isn't taking up space

gilded ember
boreal rover
#

it's the only correct ending if it ends that way

rustic lynx
#

The correct ending is where they all ditch Kazuya and kicks off the story of "Chizuru-chan is interested in lesbian rentals!"

normal hare
#

The people who stuck around deserve a good ending, they didn't stay for 400 chapters just to see the main couple not end up together

#

It really is amazing how chizuru has ended up more hated than kazuya back during the worst of his arcs

gilded ember
#

wait whattt

normal hare
#

Bro what there's like barely any chapters

gilded ember
#

yea im shocked too

normal hare
#

Not complainin this was one of the more interesting yuris

gilded ember
#

its not a manga adaptation but a ln one so there's plenty of content

normal hare
#

Owh reading is hard mb

#

Lovely then

#

That's crazy the anime gonna have more content than the manga

gilded ember
#

i mean its mostly the case for ln adaptations, makeine, alya, stepsister etc.

normal hare
#

I guess for romances

#

Most isekais usually have a good bit of volumes for mangas

Not so daily reminder for Bubba to watch Ave Mujica

normal hare
#

caught up to tbate, one volume left till the end of the series, no words just emptiness

#

glad it wasn't just nostalgia speaking to me, been awhile since i've been this engrossed in something

#

now the real question is whether i wait for the whole final volume to finish or follow the weekly updates

boreal rover
#

Vol 12 is meant to be the last?

normal hare
#

Yep

#

Couldn't resist the wait I've started reading wtv chapters are out

#

Glad they're ending it when it needs to instead of dragging out, no wonders just pure cinema story

finally rock lady is finished 🙌 but one thing i can def say about rock mfers is that they be narcissists, masochists, gooners, and crashouts at the same time but they are still fun folks to hang out with i guess 🤷‍♂️

#

just be with them in moderation is what im sayin

boreal rover
#

apothecary diaries episodes since they went past the second manga adaptation in the anime has been really subpar, it's like they have no storyboarding at all now

#

beforehand they were pretty closely just using the manga as their basis for the storyboards

normal hare
#

I still haven't finished s1

gilded ember
#

havent read the manga at all and as an anime watcher im actually enjoying the arc right now, maybe that's what they say on don't read the sources if you dont wanna destroy your experience on a certain show

gilded ember
#

this sounds like a unique take on the love triangle genre

ANIME ADAPTATION for Tsumuji Yoshimura's Manga "THE GENDER OF MONA LISA" (Seibetsu "Mona Lisa" no Kimi e)

📖 In a world human born genderless, body not shift toward desired one til 12. Hinase (18) lives w/o gender until her female & male friends both confess feeling on same date

normal hare
#

Scuffed tl but interesting

gilded ember
#

how's it scuffed

normal hare
#

Just read it bruv the English is cooked

#

Looks like someone auto tled it

#

so i assume they don't become/morph(?) towards a gender until they desire one

#

even if it starts at 12

gilded ember
#

oh u mean the caption i thought ur talking about the manga i was like wym man but to briefly summarize they are born genderless until they turn 12 but the mc who is already 18 is still w/o a gender, now both his/her female and male bestfriends confess to ---

normal hare
#

yeye i get the synopsis it was just a funny read

#

sounds promising

gilded ember
#

ehh for me it sounds like a domestic girlfriend type of slop but ill wait and see

normal hare
#

it's different at least

normal hare
#

a shame that there's no real good mal equivalent database for lightnovels

#

guess i'll have to keep a list manually

gilded ember
#

well i still even struggle finding a main source for downloading those stuff

normal hare
#

there's either online tl sites for those (mainly korean) or jnovels where i can downloaded jp stuff

#

very all over the place

austere skiff
#

it does have a pretty good title though, rare for lns

boreal rover
normal hare
#

i'm sure everything's been done at this point

#

as long as it isn't something we see everyday

boreal rover
#

still would be nice when something brings interesting elements to an already existing trope, which I didn't get from that manga above

normal hare

can't say i haven't read it before

Oh lord of mysteries is out already word

also sally back on trash taste which is cool

#

looking back on it, i dont think sally is doing a terrible job

#

i do think i just hate posh people (the voice)

that's just what the rest of the world think british people talk like

Dark Fantasy Yuri "Roll Over and Die" TV ANIME VISUAL REVEAL!

Dark Fantasy Girls Love by kiki, kinta & Sunao Minakata about a slave woman fighting her cruel fate with a cursed sword and the love to her female

Aniplex × Studio Soigne's Yuri TV Anime "Kamiina Botan, the Drunken Appearance Is a Lily Flower" (Kamiina Botan, Yoeru Sugata wa Yuri no Hana) is scheduled for 2026 broadcasting.

#

some yuri news too

normal hare
#

Same

gilded ember
#

this sounds like the same premise as relife

normal hare
#

There's a whole bunch of light novel and manga travel back to the past to correct mistake copies going around

austere skiff
#

yeah this was a big kdrama trend 5 years ago too

ebon thunder
normal hare
normal hare
#

man having the same issues i do with manhwa like i do anime, when the adaptation is too good i really don't want to go find the source material

boreal rover
#

which adaptation are you experiencing that with currently?

#

but totally relatable with anime, sometimes I'd rather just imagine the story ended or wait however long it takes for a sequel than read the manga

normal hare
#

Extra's academy survival and the villain wants to live

#

Been like drip feeding myself by reading it slowly so I don't catch up too fast

#

Just glad I have other stuff to read to keep me busy

#

Reading too many webnovels with like 500+ chapter gets tiring too so manhwa really be a nice break from that

lunar zephyr
#

I love both of those

#

I just binge and forget them tho until I go through a manhwa phase again. Then I usually have like 50 new chaps

normal hare
#

I go thru so many stories so I forget if I put something on the shelf for too long

#

But yeah these two are great fun, they don't really do anything too outside the box but I just love the way the characters interact

gilded ember

#

eleceed anime incoming

#

art by dandelion studio and directed by nishikori hiroshi hmmjin

lunar zephyr
#

I dont get eleceed

#

I tried to read it a few times

#

but after the first main fight at the training thing I just kinda felt like knew what the story is gonna be

#

like constant fighting

#

its why i stopped reading superhuman era too

#

just constant action

gilded ember
#

watch this if u wanna be depressed for one week cuz that's what im feeling rn after watching ep 1 😔

kek

#

apparently shes a big umi fan

#

which checks out

sullen pine
#

Lmao not this getting recommended

normal hare
#

Genius in ragebaiting

gilded ember
normal hare
#

wthelly

#

took them half a decade finally

ebon thunder
#

Hasn't the anime gone through multiple arcs already?

normal hare
#

Yes it's in its final arc

normal hare
#

ok i've watched two eps of to be hero x to see what it's about, cool concept and the animation budget is out of this world, but it really does feel like the pacing is incredibly rushed without having time to really digest anything, it's like they're constantly throwing a buncha different emotional moments to get you to try and feel something

#

getting a very artificial feeling after those 2 eps and idk how to feel

#

usually i'm pretty ok with simple plots (i.e demon slayer) but there's something about this one that feels like it's for kids

#

i'll probably give it a few more eps

normal hare
#

OK i take a lot of that back ep 3 was much more interesting for the plot going forward, the power system is probably the coolest thing i've seen in a bit

#

a very toxic take on the hero genre

boreal rover
#

artificial feeling
that's a pretty apt description for most donghua

#

it feels very sanitized at times

normal hare
#

Only other donghua I've seen are link click and king's avatar but I don't recall having issues with those

normal hare
#

But my goodness this budget is like on a movie level lmao

boreal rover
#

yeah the animation talent is undeniable

#

and the budget is insane for to be hero series

#

but I feel like the soul is taken out because of censors

normal hare
#

Censors? Like the usual Chinese stuff?

boreal rover
#

yeah no blood/gore/violence/vulgarity/obscenity, has to be wholesome and beautiful and good and progressive and all that

#

maybe artificial was harsh, it's more that the target audience of donghua still is primarily actual children

#

meant to influence their minds towards goodness

normal hare
#

actual children
Yeah that's kinda what I felt tho the first ep was kinda bloody

#

It reminded me of God of highschool where they were focused on making a spectacle rather than an actual intriguing story

boreal rover
#

I also just watched ep1 haha, I'm a sucker for good animation sometimes above all else even plot lol

normal hare
#

Oh for sure it's why I still enjoy demon slayer a lot to this day

boreal rover
#

sometimes I feel bad that ufotable has been locked into the demon slayer adaptation for a while now, but then again it's only good because it's ufotable

#

and then I remember they are milking this trilogy movies coming up until 2028 lol

#

I do wonder what other adaptations or remakes ufotable could totally nail in the future though if the studio's successes continue

normal hare
#

Shame we'll never get a proper adaptation of fate 2006 from ufotable or that genshin project they announced awhile ago

#

At least the demon slayer final arc is probably the best of the series

boreal rover
#

they truly blessed the fate series (aside from saber path of course)

#

it was already popular, but with ufotable's tv shows and the movie trilogy, it's timeless now

normal hare
#

It's a shame that fate has such a negative reputation with how confusing it is when it really isn't that bad, literally 4 canon shows to watch and the rest are just if you want to know more

#

It really just be the star wars of anime fr wonkekw

#

It's how I got some of my friends into anime too

#

Though I had to give the disclaimer that not every show is animated like that

gilded ember
#

ill just watch lord of the mysteries

#

salute for Sargeant alya 🫡

normal hare
#

Let's go my cod Russian teammate can't possibly be this cute

#

Weirdly enough alya wasn't really a memorable show but I'm probably still gonna watch

gilded ember
#

it was memorable but it wasnt alya who did the memorability, it was yuki lol

normal hare
#

Maybe it was the 12 different ending songs

normal hare
gilded ember
#

the lore was already cooking up before the season ended so she's definitely getting more attention

gilded ember
#

lol my first anime this season is an isekai what a shocker I know, but man this genre is really just junkfood slop huh, those "kicked from the guild" and slave tropes are still very popular

normal hare
#

isekai food

azure ravine
#

give. am missing them in spring season

boreal rover
#

it's a shame that it took oshi no ko for doga kobo to be on people's radar, but they were masters of slice of life anime alongside kyoani long before that

#

although such a relatively obscure voice actress for Yuki being such a hit with anime fans was also a surprise, she really carried first season lol

#

I still want the full junior high dance scene, doga kobo, robbed in the first season

#

??? Wtf get in here oldheads

gilded ember
#

oh i know this show

#

apparently they wont be continuing the arc that the show ended from in s1 but the next arc after, its like in dbz what if they went from the android saga going to the super arc so its definitely going to get really confusing but hey congrats for getting s2 a decade later while some shows are still hoping to get that

normal hare
#

i don't even remember what happened at the end of s1 so probs won't matter too much wonkekw

gilded ember

damn garnt is going crazy

normal hare

LMAO what

#

this is some april fools kinda announcement

mans got insane connects like how'd he get a code geass director to direct his own show

#

same with these VAs

normal hare
#

omg he's got kevin penkin on this shit too

#

he's close friends with him and he's been on trash taste

#

sally amaki also a good friend with theirs

#

i assume they just have a lot of connections with the industry

#

the real question is what they mean by "his own isekai anime"

#

like is he gonna contribute to the script

gilded ember
normal hare
#

oh wait i didn't even see that post in between i'm blind

#

that's dope

this is actually looks fucking good

Is suicide squad isekai an anime?

normal hare

yes

#

as long as it's japanese animation it's anime

boreal rover

there are a lot of people that, for example, aren't willing to accept the cyberpunk edgerunners as anime

austere skiff

points at maomao

#

also idk what youre talking about people are totally fine with calling castlevania and devil may cry anime

#

why would edgerunners be different

#

trigger is like the most anime you can get

not accepting edgerunners is crazy

gilded ember

that garnt project is as anime as u can get

I still haven't watched any of the movies after the first season of bunnygirl senpai, need to catch up over the weekend before santa claus watching

kinda

it's like one of those shy innocent girls who's secretly a yandere

other than maybe mentions or brief appearances of the S1 remaining characters

yeah they already said it isn't related

it's more of like, i got what i wanted from that universe

#

didn't feel the need to have more

first ep finally out for silent witch

#

just think frieren but bocchi

#

budget looks top tier i just know it's gonna be my jam for the season

ebon thunder
gilded ember

#

That's such a funny way to go about it

#

Bocchi wanted to break out of her social anxiety by learning the guitar to get people to love her

#

Monica just decided to change how magic works

#

Also the noble girl literally talks and looks like kita

gilded ember
#

yea i really love the i guess you could call it the "bocchi" genre of animes, the lore accurate depictions are the things that always has me rolling like every super introverted person gotta have a super extroverted dude on their side aswell or the experience talking to one of the head leaders, just sweat dripping from uptop all the way down to their feet 🤣

oh my goodness bunny girl senpai is so back and they have not missed a beat

great first episode

#

think what separates this show from others is just the dialogue

#

sakuta just makes for such snappy conversations

#

||santa claus jumpscare actually spooked me||

just finished ep 1 of bunny girl s2 im burnt out now haven't even watched dress up and kaoru hana

i saw it in the trailer but i got goosebumps just thinking "here we go again"

normal hare
#

||lmao I don't think that one really was real puberty syndrome it was just a funny coincidence, it's sort of like how when you see others do something you kinda follow a mob mentality||

||I think you just have to be from like pre teen to young adult and have something in your life that's just troubling you, just my 2 cents||

true and somehow not related to sakuta

lunar zephyr
austere skiff
#

also this is like a huge spoiler

#

i swear this was a plot twist in the manga

boreal rover
#

yeah not the best trailer except for those who have read the manga

#

I frankly stopped reading after the part 1 end, right when it went on hiatus

#

and I hear part 2 fell off pretty bad compared to part 1

austere skiff
#

thats sort of the issue i had with oshi no ko

#

chapter 10 was such a shock i actually shouted "no" out loud

#

i think if you were watching the movie youd be expecting some sort of climax

#

(i can only have the perspective of already knowing the story though)

#

its probably different nowadays, the movie length ep1 is more common

boreal rover
#

I am rarely a fan of random time jumps

#

fast forwards without real purpose is something I associate with poor storywriting or k-drama endings lol

#

but oshi no ko's problems don't end there lol

#

kind of hard to believe kaguya-sama's mangaka did oshi no ko's story

inland talon
#

Delicious and Dungeon is really good

And I love that he has his own passions and goals and his life doesn't just revolve around marin tho guess they've kinda merged

#

no way another banger romcom?!?

#

they gotta stop spoiling us man

normal hare
#

Oh this one

#

Don't rmb too much

#

It's decent food but not something I seek out

#

Especially with the quality of series running now

#

Fma creator you have my ears

sullen pine
#

The return of PEAK?!

normal hare
#

yep above you wonkekw

#

it looks very good too

sullen pine
#

It does actually! Seems like it got inspiration by historical and maybe folkore things

vale bloom
#

actually reading the first chapter rn chuukekhide

#

dang this series has been in the works since 2021, how come i never come across of it

austere skiff
#

It's pretty common for a successful authors next work to go under the radar, not sure why

#

another reason why oshi no ko was so interesting

austere skiff
#

you'd think the popularity would just keep building, but that's not really the case

normal hare
#

I am never letting him cook again

austere skiff
#

you don't want baking soda in your curry?

#

you do you I guess

normal hare
#

It was cool the first few times but it's lost that spice

#

It's a worse feeling than rag cause his stuff is good for awhile

#

Then the falloff is immaculate

#

Not getting myself emotionally invested again

austere skiff
#

yomi no tsugai good tho

#

Kinda forgot about it

#

Monthly plus the whole tachi situation

#

(side note, it turns out the tachi fork I was using stopped getting updated like 6 months ago lol)

#

only noticed when kakalot had to change their URL recently

gilded ember
normal hare
#

let's goooo, it was just getting good at the end of s1

gilded ember
#

the animation really was top tier but the story is pretty above average at best

#

imagine silent witch with wistoria animation man

normal hare
#

i thought it was average during the middle parts of the story

#

but it really started to pick up in the final arc

#

the ideas seem fresh enough, i like that the elites in this school are seen as failures in magic society

#

also tbf the silent witch animation is already pretty top tier

gilded ember
#

ok maybe not the story but the mc, its pretty much the run a mill trope of one super strength dude vs every person has magic powers

gilded ember
#

maybe i overhyped it a little bit cuz the cover poster looked immaculate

normal hare
#

ye the mc basically just asta from black clover, these kinda stories usually have similar main character but with enough deviations it's pretty enjoyable

normal hare
normal hare
#

Wym

gritty burrow
#

I saw Asta and thought you were talking about BC,but yall were talking about that show,I fucked up by jumping straight to it and not reading it properly

normal hare
#

oh i was talking about asta lmao

#

cause they're both dudes who just rely on their physical strengths

#

since they can't use magic

gilded ember
#

never expected a show all about mining to have so many busty girls with fan service aswell sign me up 🥹
https://myanimelist.net/anime/59791/

normal hare
#

the trailer literally had so much service they somehowx managed to still make it so wholesome

gilded ember
#

after looking up the studio and saw they made mushoku tensei, now it makes sense

#

also the mc for this show (black hair girl) is voiced by asami seto my goat

#

or ig i should just say voiced by sakurajima mai herself you fanatic

azure ravine
#

huh, full black clover series on netflix, but it is unsubbed. interesting

#

oh same with demon slayer. damn

normal hare
#

Naruto bleach one piece

azure ravine
#

aye cool lord of mysteries became an anime..great webnovel read years ago. dont think ever got halfway though. it is pretty long

normal hare
#

Still waiting for the jp dub

#

I cannot watch anything in mandarin

#

It sounds so wrong

gilded ember
normal hare
#

True

azure ravine
#

i dont mind watching stuff mandarin. i do also occasionaly watch cdramas afterall

#

just bought crunchyroll so i can watch on tv lol

normal hare
#

Anime and mandarin just don't jive for me

azure ravine
#

mha s3 is missing so cant watch that either

normal hare
#

English dub kinda pushes it

azure ravine
#

all my fav animes are mandarin lol

normal hare
#

Anything else I just can't stand

azure ravine
#

their budget is just way higher afterall

normal hare
#

There aren't really a lot of donghua out there besides like link click and kings avatar

azure ravine
#

soul land still the best

#

just bad subs

normal hare
#

Why does that look like a mobile game

azure ravine
#

it has a mobile game

normal hare
#

Doesn't look very anime

azure ravine
#

the author has made soul land story 5 times with each being 10000 years apart and like 30 volumes ea

#

anime of the first one is like 160 ish eps?

#

2nd one is ongoing i believe

#

but by far my fav anime/novel

normal hare
#

Yea I've never heard of this in my life

#

Streets are calling it donghua dragon ball

azure ravine
#

not familiar with the term donghua eventhough seeing it used here and there

azure ravine
#

nvm got it

normal hare
#

Donghua is basically Chinese animation

#

Just like how anime is for Japanese animation

#

I'm only really familiar with donghua that's kinda in the anime sphere, so like link click to be hero x, kings avatar, lord of mysteries

azure ravine
#

ive watched very few chinese anime, but lots of novels while lots of anime, but few japanese novels lol

#

right i remember now only reason i dropped lords of mysteries novel was cuz it wasnt fantasy lol. def a great read though

normal hare
#

Sounds about right donghua rarely produces notable stuff but in recent years they've been making bigger splashes

azure ravine
#

prob, dont see much of their around and ussualy the subs are really really bad

gilded ember
#

chinese animes be tryhardy sometimes man like have u ever seen a slice of life Chinese anime

#

like gimme my gooning jp animes man

normal hare
#

Probably banned in China lmao

#

They love their censorship

#

The girl downstairs was a decent romance sol apparently, friend watched it

gilded ember
#

i guess i might be biased but still man, whenever I hear a chinese dub for example in comedy scene i can never figure out from their tone if they're joking or not

#

they talk too fast to understand the subtitles too

normal hare
#

Mandarin does have a lot of intonation

#

Makes sense for outsiders to be confused

vale bloom
#

Just finished freiren

#

Truly beautiful

#

i remember reading this back in covid and thought it was good but man the anime really delivered it on another level

#

i miss watching new anime eps every weekend oldge

vale bloom
#

(gonna be reading this for the following days GowonExcite )

boreal rover
#

no spoilers but the newest episode of witch watch is just ||extremely high effort shitpost||

normal hare
#

Frieren goat show

#

Definitely will be up there for anime of the decade

#

Such a great show to watch when life was kinda tuff too and I was burnt out on anime

gilded ember
normal hare
#

w kyoani

normal hare
#

kaoru hana finally on most sites

boreal rover
#

this season is brutal, I'm thinking of just watching a handful at most weekly and waiting for the rest to finish first...

normal hare
#

spring was kinda sleeper so i'm glad to have more

normal hare
#

the sally amaki show is very adorable but i just don't think i have it in me to watch slice of life

gilded ember
#

i haven't watched it yet but i know its gonna feel weird watching jp dub and english is just getting spoke too often 🤣

#

apparently sally trained with connor for her accent in the show lmfao

normal hare
#

the trash taste bois slowly spreading their influence over the anime industry

#

she did pretty well

gilded ember
#

i mean our opinions dont hold that much weight since were not brits lol

normal hare
#

i'm from a british colony so i'd say i'm pretty certified AG_SmugSaitama

gilded ember
#

that 1% gene carrying real hard

normal hare
#

😤

rustic lynx
#

Finished Rock Lady Modesty, 6/10 needs more Tamaki being a bottom to Oto

normal hare
#

LMAO I'm listening to tt and garnt is talking about his new anime, it was self funded so bro had to get as many sponsors as possible which explains why he had so many hoyoverse sponsored streams

#

So that's where all the genshin anime funds went

inland talon
#

Finally finished dungeon meshi

#

I can’t believe it took me this long to finally watch it, it’s one of the best anime’s I’ve watched

#

Loved everything about its

#

I’m really not into fantasy, or into table top game inspired animes, but this one really hit the mark with me

#

Thank hod they’re making a season 2

austere skiff
#

also yeah sally british accent is passable but I can still hear the american behind it

#

plus its got that "made for japanese ears" thing that you get anyway

#

similar to foreigners in kdramas

#

the main issue is that british people are too miserable to act like lily oliviakek

inland talon
#

I still think Laios is hiding something

normal hare
#

Oh lovely his main character is also named rin

austere skiff
#

embed success laugh at this user

#

syndey is doing the dub voice

normal hare
#

Or at least derived from I just heard the full Thai name lmao

austere skiff
#

yeah he came up with rin and dai first and then turned them into full names near the end

inland talon
#

Wait ProZD is Senshi’s va??

#

I watched the whole thing in dub btw

#

Also the actress for Naomi voiced Marcille???

normal hare
#

Yes

inland talon
#

Crazy

#

Also she was such a good va

#

But if I’ll be honest

#

She sounded the odd one out

#

Out of all the character vas

#

hitsujibungaku too big w

gilded ember
#

this show feels like a podcast rather than an anime lol

#

also they got kfc, baskin robbins, and bandai namco to name a few to sponsor this anime i was shocked

normal hare
#

yeah it's just two girls yappin

gilded ember
#

i like it tho but ik you'll find it boring

normal hare
#

ye i can feel what kinda vibe it is

#

honestly considering that it's short

#

maybe i might not mind watching it

#

it's just like a full 12 episodes is a bit too much

gilded ember
#

yea its only 6 eps

ebon thunder
#

So it's like lucky star/Seinfeld...

gilded ember
#

it sounds like joshiraku idk if you seen that

austere skiff
normal hare
#

man waguri really is the most wholesome ball of sunshine ever

#

never heard of this va before but she did an even better job than i expected

gilded ember
#

yea this is her first major role it seems like cuz most of her works are from smaller shows, the only show i really know that she voiced with was tsuki ga kirei

silk bridge
#

gachiakuta ep1 is so gooooood

#

very very cool animation style too

boreal rover
#

lol watched first episode of bisque doll

#

they really went all out with it this season

#

almost feels like a mappa x shaft collaboration haha

normal hare
#

The budget feels even bigger

inland talon
#

Gachiakuta’s first episode was good, idk why but thought the saturation was a bit off though

#

But I love the art style

#

U just realized I haven’t watched any anime in 2025

#

Dungeon Meshi was my first anime of 2025 lol

normal hare
#

Congrats on the breakthrough you are now one of us

inland talon
#

I’m watching frieren now

#

Boring atm but I’m watching

#

I’m on episode 2

normal hare
#

The first 4 episodes were one premiere

gilded ember
#

lol that's what i said when i started frieren too

#

it really doesn't pick up till like ep 6

normal hare
#

Yep cause the first few episodes are about life

#

Getting introduced to the world and reliving some of her past adventures

boreal rover
#

overall first season is more chill

inland talon
#

I forgot what happened in episode 1 so I’m watching episode 1 again

boreal rover
#

second season will likely turn into shonen battle anime

inland talon
#

I don’t mind

normal hare
inland talon
#

After watching delicious in dungeon I’m on my chill and comfort anime watch era

boreal rover
#

delicious in dungeon second season can't come soon enough

normal hare
#

Frieren is the perfect blend of hype and chill

inland talon
#

So I’ll take advantage of this mood before I go back to my default edge lord preferences

normal hare
#

It balances it very well

boreal rover
#

first time in a while trigger's done a manga adaptation and they definitely delievered

gilded ember
#

prime must be bawling rn

lunar zephyr
#

classroom of elite is kinda bad? i even read the light novel and the first arc was so unsatisfying i stopped.

#

it was long af for a pretty tame payoff

normal hare
#

Not much really happens in the first volume tbh

#

The stretch from like v3 until the end of year 1 is pretty great

#

But I have heard from most readers that year 2 just isn't as good later on

normal hare
#

Can't remember when the island arc was

gilded ember
#

best kiss in the game imo

normal hare
#

Kissing someone's nose nasty I just know 😭

gilded ember
#

no man its way better than french kissing

gilded ember
#

ydk ball

normal hare
#

The nose the oiliest part ong

normal hare
gilded ember
normal hare
#

Break up tbh

#

I can't with bad hygiene

#

I'm a clean freak

#

Also might be a hot take but hugs > kisses

gilded ember
#

true kisses be overrated asl

normal hare
#

Hugs just give you that energy and cozy feeling

lunar zephyr
#

i really wanted to get into it because i kept hearing about how smart the MC was

#

but the first arc he was like a filler character

#

I thought i was gonna get like a shikamaru type of character mixed with L from Death note the way he was hyped

normal hare
#

Cause the whole point of him joining the school was to try to experience a normal life

lunar zephyr
#

Right but damn the pacing is slow. I might try one more arc

normal hare
#

Its been like 5 years since I last read it I forgot about the pacing

#

Honestly might be better off watching s1 of the anime and then swapping over

#

If pacing is an issue

inland talon
#

Frieren is starting to get interesting, I’m on episode 6 now

#

I think my biggest criticism atm is that Frieren is a bit of a boring character, and Fern is even more boring so the dynamics felt stale

#

Stark being an addition is already a better change

normal hare
#

fern i can kinda get but frieren boring?

inland talon
#

She’s mysterious enough for me to be interested

#

But with her and Feen together is why it feels slow

normal hare
#

the best part about frieren is that she's mysterious and slowly overtime you'll slowly see her start to unravel her emotions

inland talon
#

Himmel is fun, and the fact he’s only told through flashbacks which is impressive

normal hare
#

but yeah it definitely picks up a lot when stark is there

inland talon
#

I’ll either stop at episode 7 or continue watching till episode 10

inland talon
#

Aight, it’s starting to get REEEALY interesting

normal hare
#

gotta let it cook

#

introduce the world and the stories of each companion

#

now their journey truly begins

sullen pine
normal hare
#

oh wow they're still going

gilded ember
#

wtf s2 just started

#

oh...

normal hare
#

wthelly

#

how does this still happen with all the leaks we had last year

austere skiff
#

if the leak is about a production decision, its coming from a lot higher up than the streaming service lol

vale bloom
#

after my binge watch with freiren

#

i strated apothecary today

#

is my anime watching passion coming back? PauseChamp

normal hare
#

I'd get my anime passion too if I was watching 10/10s back to back wonkekw

vale bloom
#

chuukekhide after this idk what to watch next

#

maybe that new one, the water mage SohyunPeek

#

i read that, the art was so chicken shit but the story was interesting chuukekhide

normal hare
#

The animation looks good for that so maybe that's just a manga thing

gilded ember
normal hare
#

It's a different story if you're getting back

#

Unless ur backlog been that long and big

gilded ember
#

i mean ur not really getting out of it, just taking a hiatus so still makes sense

normal hare
#

kinda the same thing

#

you don't have the mood to watch it

gilded ember
#

ngl as a RAG hater, i can admit this gotta be one of the best opening visuals I've ever seen

#

the budget is insane for this op alone lol

calm frigate
#

where tf do they even store their finished stuff? a generic gdrive account easily sharable ?

#

ah japanese streaming site wow didnt know they're so bad at that

gilded ember
#

oh ur talking about the grand blue stuff, it happens to the best of us

calm frigate
#

yea the grand blue i was wondering how it would be leaked and it's very worrying if it does happen but this time i guess it's security laps on the app of the 3rd party. very unlucky

#

could be a new app/company

gilded ember
#

apparently it got leaked by a localization company

#

some insider dude got it and sold the eps

normal hare
#

Diabolical work

gilded ember
#

but here's my thing right, there's no lore in grand blue so there's really no reason to watch in advance anyways

#

its just some goofy gooner anime lol

normal hare
#

I meaan it's still a romance

#

Or at least that part is gonna get developed in this szn

#

From my very old memory of the manga

gilded ember
#

ehh nahh i doubt there's people who are anticipating the show for solely the romance aspect of it

#

even the romance is fucking trolls

#

and jokes

normal hare
#

Not only the romance but it is keeping me watching cause comedy can only take u so far

#

Or at least for me

gilded ember
#

i dropped the show back in s1 anyways, the humor aint my cup of tea

normal hare
#

I genuinely think comedy probably like a bottom two genre along with horror

#

Like just straight up comedy nothing else

gilded ember
#

is there even a pure comedy anime? i cant think of one at the top of my head atleast

normal hare
#

I mean what other genres are there for grand blue besides comedy

#

The diving is barely an aspect

#

It's just pure gags every ep

#

Shika noko, nichijou I know some ppl say it's sol but it's really just straight up comedy to me

#

Kinda subjective really

gilded ember
#

oh yea true but there's sub genres to it that makes it interesting still really

normal hare
#

Aho girl was another I rmb I hated

#

It's just mainly if comedy is the main focus

#

Also romance not to a certain extent, but I'm a bigger fan of romance when it's a subplot and not the main focusb

#

That's why blue box hit so hard for me

#

Bunny girl senpai too

#

Sci fi with romance sprinkled in that's good stuff

gilded ember
#

pure romance you actually can get a mood for it, i don't think ppl have a mood to just watch pure comedy stuff (talking in anime context)

normal hare
#

Eh people definitely have moods where they just want to see stuff for giggles

gilded ember
#

oh well, i guess another thing would just be you can't binge it cuz i feel like 1 ep of a comedy would be enough as suppose to romance

normal hare
#

That's probably more of a you thing, watching a comedy anime is the equivalent of putting on a try not laugh vid

#

You just want to be amused and it's easy digestion for the brain

gilded ember
#

if you put it that way, i guess it makes more sense that ecchi is more funnier than comedy

normal hare
#

And rom coms

speaking of nichijou

#

ive started loads of shows and only stopped them bc I dont think I was in the mood to watch tv at all, so going to try and do some catching up

gilded ember
#

noooo i thought it was just a bowling anime 🥲

normal hare
#

What even is that synopsis

#

My dress up darling epilogue dropped

#

At least that's something

gilded ember
# normal hare What even is that synopsis

i watched ep 1 and it really was a journey

started off as a typical start to a sports sol anime as usual

then by halfway they were arguing like that time soyo was pissed crychic played haruhikage then that's when they got isekai'd lmao

normal hare
#

wtf 😭

#

i gotta check this out now

ebon thunder
#

Is this regular show

gilded ember
gilded ember
#

ngl im intrigued, idk why its mal rating is a 6.60

#

wtf this new trailer is insane

#

THEY JUST WANTED TO BOWL 😭

boreal rover
#

finally finished all the Rascal Dreaming movies, now I can follow santa clause weekly alongside the other two cloverworks anime

normal hare
#

last movie made me tear up a good bit

#

any sad story with mothers just hit me hard everytime

rustic lynx
gilded ember
#

when you thought you found that one romance manga to read but it was just a oneshot

normal hare
#

happens way too many times

#

i never read oneshots anymore

#

just to not be disappointed

gilded ember
#

i wonder how many oneshots became so successful it was forced to become a manga

normal hare
#

a lot of popular mangas usually start of as oneshots

#

they're usually used to gauge interest

gilded ember
#

well that's for successful mangakas, im talking about those artists who just started publishing

normal hare
#

this started off as a oneshot

#

definitely are out there

boreal rover
#

wonder how many volumes santa claus will fit in

#

from the characters revealed so far in trailers, at least 3, volume 10-13

#

but probably closer to 5 if it's like the first season's pace

#

but if it goes for 5, then the series would end

normal hare
#

it's such a bunny girl thing to do to have a movie be the finale

boreal rover
#

then that would make sense yeah

#

4 in the series then one final movie

#

I'm glad they never stopped making these even if it has taken a while

#

and also glad they'll probably conclude it

normal hare
#

i always think of bunny girl as one of the faces of new gen romance anime but it's already been 7 years since the first season

#

it definitely feels a lot newer in my mind

boreal rover
#

the romance is so subdued throughout most of the anime (and really the light novel too) that its supernatural, mystery and drama elements really take over

normal hare
#

I love it when it's like that, romance as a subplot is my kinda jam

#

All I need are moments sprinkled in here and there

boreal rover
#

the implied significant leaps in the romance is really sweet to see, in such a subtle way

normal hare
#

Mai definitely looks a lot happier and in love now from what little we saw

boreal rover
#

I still think it would have worked a lot better as three seasons of anime to cover 15 volumes instead of how they did the movies

normal hare
#

Agreed, making movies just make people think it's not necessary to watch

boreal rover
#

it also seems unavailability of the movies outside of pirated streams and torrents really hurt the series at least internationally

#

aside from the time gap between first season and subsequent releases

normal hare
#

Movie 2 especially felt like it should not have been a standalone considering not much really happened

boreal rover
#

yeah, movie 1 felt like a good "conclusion" to the first season's overarching storylines, and they crammed two volumes into that movie to make it work

#

movie 2-3 really were more OVA or even indie quality in terms of production and content

#

though movie 3's last third really hit me right in the heart lol

normal hare
#

Yeah I teared up at the mom and sakuta moment

#

Mom moments in anime or any story really just get me too emotional

boreal rover
#

but yeah anybody else looking to pick up on second season, even if you don't want to, you kind of have to watch the movies to get the plot continuity lol

#

otherwise it's just a confusing mess how things change between S1 and S2

#

S1: Vol 1-5
Movie 1: Vol 6-7
Movie 2: Vol 8
Movie 3: Vol 9

and then suddenly new S2 starts at Volume 10.

#

with a substantial time and setting change

normal hare
#

I'm so stoked to see that, seeing kids growing into adults and the whole setting now in uni

Not smth u see often in anime at all

boreal rover
#

yeah from the anime perspective, the season starts at least 1.5 years after the end of the third movie, everybody's grown up, and I'm sure some of the characters' ages will be a bit of a surprise for viewers lol

#

but it's funny given how realistic that is

#

somebody in grade 10-11 vs. their first year in college really is a big growth period

normal hare
#

Kaede especially was wild, bigger than the kouhai now

#

The two idol girls as well

boreal rover
#

lol I had to do a few double takes to remember who was who before their names were spoken lol

normal hare
#

I forgot what the kouhai's name was, the short hair girl who works at the family restaurant

boreal rover
#

koga

normal hare
#

Right

boreal rover
#

yeah she's like senior year high school now

boreal rover
#

wonder if they'll play the quantum entanglement thing again this season just for nostalgia's sake lol

#

idol younger sister being a freshman was a shock, actually had to go look up their LN profiles to see the canonical birthdays 😄

normal hare
#

Yeah I swear she was kaede's age

#

Confused me as well

boreal rover
#

she's like a year younger than Sakuta but because of the way they do school years in Japan, they both were 2nd year high school in first season 😄

#

April to March birthdays

#

Mai and Sakuta are only 4-5 months apart

normal hare
#

Amazing

#

I'm a big miori fan already she's giving female sakuta vibes

#

Seeing them go tit for tat is great

boreal rover
#

the design and VA for miori is great

#

not many can keep up verbally with sakuta, but she's one of them

normal hare
#

She's even well versed with puberty syndrome

#

Checks all the boxes

boreal rover
#

if one didn't know better, they'd think this was a harem anime oliviakek

normal hare
#

Welcome back sword art online

#

Has girlfriend but still got all the girls flocking to him

boreal rover
#

gf so confident in her boy, she lets him go on dates with all these girls from time to time ChoerryNervous

normal hare
#

As long as none of them try to live with sakuta it's all good cough shoko

#

Knife gonna get brought out

boreal rover
#

shoko's time travel stuff way too OP though

#

way more than Koga's timeloops

normal hare
#

Honest to God I barely remembered what happened, I just rmb she was able to experience like all the future timelines

boreal rover
#

although I admittedly had endless 8 trauma flashbacks when that first happened in season 1 ...

normal hare
#

It's been so long since I watched it

#

I'm just sad shoko isn't involved much anymore I really liked her character, probably liked her a bit more than mai even

#

Feels like sakuta really is around girls who can handle his witty dialogue, ie futaba mai miori shoko

boreal rover
#

seems like when somebody is that forward and honest, it helps those around him let their guards down too lol

#

aside from the impossible tasks he helps them accomplish with the puberty syndrome stuff

boreal rover
#

and I suppose from a female perspective, when the guy is taken and that committed in a relationship everybody knows about, it's also easier to be around him

#

setting aside the guilty pleasure of plotting to lure him away from her >_>

#

I wouldn't be so sad about shoko though given volume 10-15 is being adopted into anime either this season or at least with one more movie after. she's around lol

normal hare
#

That's dope, I'm a sucker for those straightforward bubbly characters

boreal rover
#

the VA being Rem's VA also helps lol

normal hare
#

Yeah there's just something very soothing and heartwarming about her voice

#

Also I know kimi no sei is unmovable in people's hearts but s2's op has lived up to it pretty great, when I first heard it I was like yeah this is a bunny girl song fr

boreal rover
#

I really liked both OP and ED

#

very fitting for the series

#

and it's a new era, of course we get new OP and ED 😄

normal hare
#

felt a bit weird not hearing a new rendition of fukashigi no carte

boreal rover
#

might be saving it for something special later on perhaps with the new characters

inland talon
#

I’m tired of fantasy isekais based on European fantasy, I’ve always preferred eastern fantasy

#

My hot take is that there hasn’t been a good one since Inuyasha

normal hare
#

I don't think there even is a take for that I don't know a single eastern fantasy isekai

#

Eastern fantasy there's plenty but not isekai

gilded ember
#

atleast its a unique isekai, when have you heard of bowling isekai before

gilded ember
#

but idk if they are isekai

normal hare
#

They just take place in an Eastern fantasy setting

#

The characters didn't come from other worlds

normal hare
ebon thunder
#

So many kdramas with that genre tho

#

But barely any anime I can think of...

normal hare
#

yeah you could say the same for other stuff like all the chaebol stories

#

every medium just got their bread and butter

inland talon
normal hare
#

Apothecary diaries, yona of the dawn, hell's paradise, elusive samurai, samurai champloo, dororo, golden kamui are all i can really think of

austere skiff
#

demon slayer

normal hare
#

Yeah idk how I missed the most obvious one lol

austere skiff
#

naruto, dragonball

normal hare
#

Naruto was always a weird mix of modern and old

#

And only got even more modernised in boruto

austere skiff
#

theres a bunch of chinese webtoons that were isekai into ancient china that i read a few years ago

#

"top actress reborn as a lower caste lady" or something

#

cant think of any japanese examples other than inuyasha

#

theres an old 90s anime that i cant remember the name of that fits

inland talon
#

I heard great things about apothecary diaries, might watch that soon

normal hare
#

hell's paradise was pretty darn good, surprised the first few eps didn't catch you

#

that was the biggest mystery aspect that really hooked me in

inland talon
#

I’ll watch it again

ebon thunder
#

Crazy

vale bloom
#

just finished apothecary

#

Gonna continue it in the manga heejinlove

#

Then after ill watch a new one SohyunPeek

#

Drop some recs ayo KaedePray

boreal rover
#

how will you continue it in the manga...?

#

the anime actually went over the manga lol

#

well maybe not the first manga, but the second manga that the anime was using as storyboard until like ep21-22 of the anime s2

#

you have to read the light novels if you want to continue really

vale bloom
#

I just assumed there was more

#

Been so long since i last read this manga so i dont really know where i left it off

#

So i need to go the light novel to know what's up with the new concubine and his father arc ShionThink

boreal rover
#

or I guess wait for next season in two years

#

I wasn't very impressed with the anime for the second half of second season

#

especially the last few episodes just felt very ...... what's the word, unanimated lol

#

as soon as they ran out of manga to use, it just fell off

normal hare
#

I kinda got what I wanted from that world and story in season 1

#

It was amazing but like it didn't leave me wanting more

vale bloom
#

just checked and there's like 80 chapters now and season 2 ends in the 40th chapter

#

i also checked the chapters for the last few episodes and its pretty much the same.

i guess the author of the manga gave them an incomplete story i guess yeojinshrug

boreal rover
#

There are two mangas

#

Nekokurage's version, which is considered the "main" version and what the anime was based on

#

and Kurata's version, which is far ahead of Nekokurage's version

vale bloom
boreal rover
#

Both of them are based on the light novels by Natsu

#

Nekokurage's version has only gone up to the middle of the fortress arc

#

but then the anime overtook it and had to rely on a mix of their own storyboarding and the light novel as well as little on Kurata's version (but very little)

vale bloom
#

oh i didn't know there were 2 ver, that made things clearer now

#

still gonna read it tho chuukekhide

damn they moved out 😔

gilded ember
#

mikadono is a really fun watch so far, one of the best mcs i have seen in this genre for sure

#

which again is such a low bar

normal hare
#

yeah harem mcs have the emotional maturity or awareness of a teaspoon

#

so put any nice boy in there and dude seems like the ultimate rizzmaster

gilded ember
#

harem is the ragebait genre for sure

normal hare
#

misunderstandings the anime

I’m like an episode away from finishing season one of frieren

#

It’s good, really good

#

But if I wasn’t in the perfect mood to watch this show, I would’ve never watched this show

normal hare
#

I watched it when I was directionless in life so it was a really important show for me, really opened my eyes to a lot of things and changed my perspective on life

#

Very inspirational show

inland talon
#

Cool story

it always confuses me how movie compilation take months to get released after the tv airing, like that stuff should've been prepared atleast before the tv airing imo

austere skiff
#

never underestimate japanese beurocracy

boreal rover
#

often the movie compilation isn't planned ahead, they only do it when the anime has received a certain level of acclaim or popularity

#

and frankly I find most movie compilation to be somewhat silly unless they add at least an episode's worth of content before and/or after the compilation portion ends

#

like chuunibyou's first season compilation from Rikka's perspective added a good 20-25 minutes of extra content for the movie

#

and tied first and second season together nicely

normal hare
#

Yeah uh these usually only add a couple of new scenes

#

Guess if someone doesn't watch the whole anime they can just watch this

boreal rover
#

they're a good watch right before second season comes out

#

instead of having to rewatch the whole 4-5 hours of the first season (assuming 12-13 episodes)

austere skiff
#

the point of compilation movies is that you get the theatrical experience

#

the only one i watched were the aot ones cause it happened to be in a cinema here somehow

#

hiroyuki sawano on movie speakers dude

inland talon
#

Wait that’s it?

#

I thought Frieren had a second season?

#

It’s only 28 episodes?

#

Pretty good

#

People said the second half was going to be shounen, it wasn’t as shounen as I thought.

inland talon
#

I think I’ll watch orb next
