#

I mean 28 episodes is the equivalent of two seasons of 12-13 episodes and two OVAs lol

#

and the actual second season is coming in about 6 months

I’ve been watching Delicious in Dungeons too much cuz while watching Dandadan all I was thinking was how would that worm taste lol

gilded ember
#

not bad ac, not bad

normal hare
#

This is nuts

#

I don't even follow this series but it has like 500 chapters and such a big following

#

Can't even imagine how it feels like to be a fan

fck man

#

the examples of tracing the author did

#

AND TO END LIKE THAT BRUH

lunar zephyr
#

that sucks

#

I tried this one but only a few chapters. I dont really get it

sullen pine
#

I feel bad for the author even if tracing is a shit thing to do

boreal rover
#

with the kind of release schedules that these artists have to keep up with for years or decades, it's a surprise this doesn't happen more often (or at least isn't caught)

#

still, canceling the whole series over an issue like this feels like he was ready to drop it the moment an opportunity came up

#

feelsbad though

inland talon
#

Aight watching apothecary diaries now

inland talon
#

Apothecary Diaries got me hooked

normal hare
#

The first half of the show is very addicting

#

Wait this month?

gilded ember
#

just the manga but yes

vale bloom
#

wow the timing lol

boreal rover
#

yeah it's been on quite the hiatus

#

but given how popular it is, they gotta do something after all, otherwise the anime won't get a third season 😦

inland talon
#

Does apothecary diaries have a season 2?

#

I thought it did?

#

Nvm found it, I season 2 isn’t on Netflix

vivinos anime opening

boreal rover
#

if it gets a third season, there's only enough content for like 6 episodes at most

#

so it's possible the mangaka just wants to add a little more or she'll collaborate with cloverworks for some anime original content/filler

#

the manga ended a bit too abruptly

#

and some setup for another arc was just abandoned in favor of wrapping up the romance plot

normal hare
#

I'm praying we get some anime only content

gilded ember
#

santa claus ep 2 ||it might be uzuki based on her experiences this ep but still doubtful about it||

gilded ember
#

finally someone called it out!

normal hare
#

Feel like almost every parent says this about their children in anime

#

Also I think him out of everyone probably has a valid reason cause everyone is scared of his ass and can't fathom kindness

boreal rover
gilded ember
#

its not every parent cuz my parents havent said that to me

normal hare
#

*in romance anime I meant to say

#

Cause the parents are always like just date already

#

I guess in Asian culture they don't really know about ur relationships but like every family gathering ur relatives ask if u have a bf/gf

gilded ember
#

yea that's one thing i hate about our culture, man i jus wanna be lowkey stop bugging me with it

normal hare
#

That and they say you've gained weight

#

So I just basically get called single and fat

#

Lovely family

normal hare
#

sakuta doesn't get paid enough to be all these girls' personal psychologist

gilded ember
#

he just wants a harem

normal hare
#

dude straight up just skips classes w

#

definitely university

ebon thunder
#

Did I get Mandela'd cuz all this time I thought it's Kimi no todoke

gilded ember
#

its an illusion

#

while nothing is happening on rag, everything is happening on shiunji

normal hare
#

ayoo what did lil bro do to get kicked like that 😭

#

also why are people reading this man, at least rag was interesting

gilded ember
#

cuz waifus

#

might be a hot take but shiunji girls over rag girls

normal hare
#

The waifus couldn't carry me past 3 episodes and I'm usually a waifu enjoyer

normal hare
#

This actually might be a hot take but I thought kazu was a better mc if we're just looking at these two series within 80 chapters or so

#

The shiunji family mc is a very kind brother who spent like every episode saying yeah but we're siblings and then later on in the ep he's blushing around them and getting flustered 😭

gilded ember
#

rag girls are annoying asl tho, as for the male mcs i mean i dont think we can compare 53 chapters to 300+

normal hare
#

Yeah that's why i said within 80 chapters or so, kazu's character arc got completely trashed after that arc

#

Chizuru used to be great, mami was the bad guy so that was always interesting

#

Shy girl was just doing shy girl things

#

Ig ruka was really the main annoying one

gilded ember
normal hare
#

Yeah not arguing for that part just meant more interesting as a character cause growth is so much more interesting than someone who's just tolerable

#

From the start until like 80 chapters in kazu went from useless cringe pathetic into putting some effort into someone that dedicated time and effort to create something for chizu and her grandma

#

It was very gratifying to watch, which they then ruined by ragebaiting for the next 300 chapters

austere skiff
#

i just wanted shiunji to be a yaoi

#

but then the brother not only has a girlfriend, but is confirmed a non virgin in chapter 1

normal hare
#

Ntr'd already damn

ebon thunder
normal hare
#

i have very vivid memories of watching this

#

the opening song for this was so nostalgic

#

life felt so simple

rustic lynx
#

It was a decent to good show but also a bad Jun Maeda/Key show at the same time

normal hare
#

yeah i only watched angel beats after this iirc

#

it was also one of my first shows

rustic lynx
#

Watch Little Busters too

#

Same creators of Charlotte (Jun Maeda + Key)

normal hare
#

i watched a bit of that one and didn't really enjoy it, out of all the jun maeda shows that one felt the most dated and gimmicky

#

clannad and angel beats very peak

gilded ember
normal hare
#

nice thumbnail

gilded ember
#

mushoku tensei studio lol

normal hare
#

i can't bro the fragrant flower blooms is too wholesome and waguri is way too cute

gilded ember
#

i think im confident this is going to be my final list for this season, the only show im skeptical is turkey but other than that we rolling

normal hare
#

you dropped call of the night?

gilded ember
#

ye got bored

#

oh shit i forgot to add one show brb

#

and this show

normal hare
#

Oh this manga

#

Still can't believe it got 24 eps

#

Wowah

gilded ember
#

i like it so far ||definitely not because she was walking around only wearing panties for some reason||

gilded ember
#

yo nah i was looking at the ratings and they gave rag season 4 a 6.24 😭

normal hare
#

I'm certain half those ratings were because of the manga

#

Review bombs

gilded ember
#

ye sad that they got hate raided

#

this might be the reason not to trust mal ratings anymore

normal hare
#

It doesn't really happen too often, I've only seen most negative review bombing against shows that dethroned fma back in the day

#

Like when fruits basket or love is war was #1 for a bit

#

For the most part I'd say mal is more or less accurate

gilded ember
#

there's some shows that are honestly wayyyy too over rated

normal hare
#

Like what for example

#

Like if I skim the top 100 they're all very valid unless you're referring to some specific ones not in there

gilded ember
#

i mean i already see one, look i love bocchi but 8.7 is too high

normal hare
#

I think I gave it an 8 but it's a show that resonated with a lot of the community so it probably struck closer to home

#

It's essentially the k-on of this generation so it may sound crazy at first but not as crazy when you remember the traction it had

#

Ok wait I found one that I disagree with, your lie in april

silk bridge
#

this goes so hard

#

havent even finished the show but i bought it hahaha

#

id prob wear it even if i didnt know it was related to an anime

normal hare
#

That's fire

#

I'm usually not a fan of cluttered shirts but this one feels right

gilded ember
#

bocchi is like 8.35 at most

#

its just super highly rated because the masses caught on with the memes and stuff

normal hare
#

It was the perfect blend of memes and she's just like me fr

#

Would you think something like nichijou at 8.47 is too high cause it's just memes

gilded ember
#

i mean im watching a similar show rn in city the animation and ngl it deserves a rating like that so far

normal hare
#

Just curious what puts it over smth like bocchi

austere skiff
#

kyoani

#

btw watch city the animation

normal hare
#

I'm not in the audience for that kinda show

#

Slice of life takes a lot for me to watch

gilded ember
#

like story wise the best band show is girls band cry and i value it way more than just goofing around (in that genre btw)

normal hare
gilded ember
#

girls band cry is like only a 8.1 rating i think

normal hare
#

Also 100% agree on gbd stuff

#

I think it's better but it's also a heavy drama show

#

It's why i don't like to classify band anime as a genre cause they can really be completely different from another

#

I think k-on is completely different from bocchi

gilded ember
normal hare
#

But her character development is kinda the whole story

#

The reason she joined the band was to overcome her anxiety

austere skiff
#

i wouldnt really describe it as slice of life, theres a bit more of a story than nichijou

#

also quite a few more characters to interact

#

no hakase tho

normal hare
#

Hmm maybe I'll give it a try

gilded ember
normal hare
#

Yeah I agree, it's just the way you phrased it saying that bocchi was just goofy wonkekw

#

I think they each try to accomplish something different

vale bloom
#

if it ever goes on netflix tho

austere skiff
#

also the best band show is still beck

vale bloom
#

i remember just rewatching restaurant from another world everytime i eat infront of the tv lol

normal hare
#

Unfortunately not a cgdct band anime

gilded ember
#

but rather than over rated stuff, i think there's more under rated shows on mal

normal hare
#

Probably, there are some shows in 7-8 I absolutely adored

gilded ember
#

yea like days with my stepsister ain't a 7.3 rating anime

normal hare
#

Oh wow ok that's nuts lmao

#

High 7s at least

gilded ember
#

most of the low rated shows are victims of misleading titles lol

normal hare
#

Oh I found another overrated one, erased, 8.30

#

That's low to mid 7 show if ever I've seen

#

Strong 1st half but very weak 2nd

gilded ember
#

i can't really talk about your picks since i haven't watched it

#

bubba u think makeine deserves more than a 8.11 rating

normal hare
#

A part of me is biased but f it that was one of the most refreshing takes on the romance genre I've seen in ages

#

8.5 take it or leave it

#

Ok death note 8.62 what we doing did people just watch the 1st half and not the 2nd

#

Yeah makeine definitely deserves higher

gilded ember
#

i mean having one of the greatest romance mcs already just needs a 4 point bump up

normal hare
#

Incredibly valid

#

Like there really is nothing to complain about the series besides I guess if u wanna say for it being a romance and mc doesn't get any love makes it fake but a reach still

#

Ah golden time 7.74 way too high I'm still not recovered from that show wonkekw

gilded ember
#

yea its not just abt the romance but the relationship building is amazing in makeine

normal hare
#

Scum's wish 7.09 what the helly people too soft for this!

gilded ember
#

u missed spy x family 8.46 is goddamn high

normal hare
#

I can't hate it's like the perfect anime for anyone

#

Can show it to ur grandparents show it to your parents show it to your friends show it to your kids

austere skiff
#

spyfam is great

#

(only read)

normal hare
#

The anime takes it to another level it's great stuff

austere skiff
#

im not sure why people thought it was an action tho

gilded ember
#

i guess it's just a me thing i dont really like child care shows that much

normal hare
#

Fair nuff

#

Noragami s2 8.14 these tumblr fans must be stopped

austere skiff
#

read the manga

normal hare
#

I never got the noragami craze when I was younger and it got worse as I got older

austere skiff
#

noragami deserves better

#

oral cigarettes do carry tho

normal hare
#

I've watched 2 seasons of it idk if I ever wanted to continue, I just really liked the opening songs

#

Yeah

#

Tonight we honor the hero

gilded ember
#

is that anime actually like about oragami

normal hare
#

No 😭

austere skiff
#

not at all

#

someone should do that tho

gilded ember
#

lmao 🤣

#

op 2 it looked like those characters were made with paper

normal hare
#

That's a new one

austere skiff
#

unfortunately bones are hecking busy

normal hare
#

I'm honestly surprised skip to loafer ain't higher

#

8.11 is still good but it was incredibly well received at the time of airing

gilded ember
#

nah u know what shocked me why is this only a 7.72

austere skiff
#

its not great

normal hare
#

I never finished it but it was a fan favorite for awhile

gilded ember
#

man the movie made me cry

normal hare
#

My friend's been egging me on to finish it for years

gilded ember
#

and mirai underrated waifu one of the best in the game that decade no cap

normal hare
#

Is that the glasses girl, I like the black haired one

gilded ember
#

yea

#

bro the black haired girl likes her brother

#

like mate wtf

normal hare
#

Big w, even bigger w if its blood related

#

Shoutout yuki

gilded ember
#

you know the one show that didn't deserve the hype, konosuba wasn't all that

normal hare
#

That's actually a massive w hot take

#

The humor just didn't resonate with me

gilded ember
#

the gooners love the show lol

normal hare
#

Honestly darkness is just too funny I can't even consider it erotic in any sense

#

People just love the shitpost humor

#

It was just perfect humor for the time period ig

gilded ember
#

its that yellow haired girl that carries the gooners

normal hare
#

Yeah that's darkness

boreal rover
#

thinking of adding sally's new anime to summer watchlist but I have to see the first episode...

inland talon
#

I’m not trying to diss Garnt’s take on the ending but my interpretation on the ending was completely different

#

Basically ||what I got was that Eren had no choice but to genocide because he was controlled by Ymir. The irony was that Eren talked about being free but he was in fact not free but imprisoned by faith and destiny. He was relying on his friends to stop him as he knew he couldn’t stop.|| At least this was my interpretation on the ending

normal hare
#

||I don't think he was controlled necessarily, he willingly did that, if you watched code geass it was a similar situation where he had to become the evil of humanity, by allowing his friends to stop him they instead became the heroes and basically give this world a clean slate so they could have peace||

#

||but then as the credits scene of the show showed, you can see another war develop down the line that ends with the world's destruction, so the cycle will always repeat no matter what||

#

i haven't watched the episode yet i was planning to listen to it later

gilded ember
#

they got pressured

normal hare
#

about damn time

boreal rover
#

what was the issue before?

#

oh it's netflix locked outside of japan, what a weird decision to region lock it too

normal hare
#

Netflix jail

boreal rover
#

entirely on netflix

#

can't blame it on anything else

#

they probably wanted to dub it first before releasing

#

it's still not on US netflix even now

normal hare
#

I remember when summertime render got Disney jailed, ruined so much of the hype for one of the best shows that year

boreal rover
#

even with the D+ jail, it got quite the viewership and popularity, imagine what it could have been if it was available more widely and timely back then

#

I feel nothing watching pirated/torrented anime because of all this streaming platform bureaucracy lol

normal hare
#

Yep to all of that, it just could've been so much more

#

I'd also feel less inclined to pirate if there was a good platform, the main 2 ones in Netflix and crunchyroll are both just lacking it certain aspects

gilded ember
#

i actually just recently switched to torrenting and its such a better viewing experience

normal hare
#

i only used torrenting when my internet was scuffed for a period in time, otherwise no reason to torrent unless it was like a movie

gilded ember
#

just use hayase, wayy better than watching from websites

normal hare
#

in what way though

gilded ember
#

higher quality, less buffering, can download episodes when needed

normal hare
#

oh the higher quality is the only thing for me that's nice

#

so you can still stream it from there like a regular streaming site?

#

or do u have to download it

gilded ember
#

it uses torrent clients so nyaa and stuff like that, you have the option to stream or download

boreal rover
#

you're essentially still downloading it just like any other streaming service downloads, but I believe hayase has the option of deleting it after or even during stream the parts you've passed after a certain buffer

normal hare
#

mhmm ic

boreal rover
#

good if you don't have a lot of storage or watching it on a limited device

#

but might as well just download it in torrents if you are going to do that

#

and delete after or something

normal hare
#

yeah what i was thinking, if it's gonna take up space might as well download it wonkekw

boreal rover
#

it's just nice to get a high bitrate no buffer playback with a download

#

and you can easily pause and adjust subtitle appearance and go back with fine controls lol

#

certainly needed that with the last couple of episodes of santa claus

#

so much dialogue

#

always been this way but still takes a while to read at times

#

you really can feel the light-novel-ness of it lol

normal hare
#

Gotcha I'll try it out, just never had buffering issues beforehand so never felt the need to use nyaa ever again

austere skiff
#

||my takeaway was that eren was trapped by his own desire for freedom||

#

||in his own words, eren wasnt smart enough to come up with a better solution to their problems||

normal hare
#

Eren crashing out in front of armin still 10 anime moments

normal hare
#

dress up darling ed is so good visually

#

can't praise the budget enough

austere skiff
#

fruits zipper x cutie street btw

gilded ember
#

kissahomie

normal hare
#

my homie says that to me then we're fighting

normal hare
#

lmao why are there so many scum's wish gifs for onk

boreal rover
#

and that was legit ||sexual assault|| but there's ||worse ones coming that actually go too far||

gilded ember
#

idk bout u but yuri version of that is kinda hot ngl

boreal rover
#

lol it does feel a bit double standard but I get why people like the pure yuri stuff like this

normal hare
#

For hayase when I click on an ep to watch it downloads the whole ep? So if I switch to another show or go to a next ep does it just delete that

boreal rover
#

that's how I understood its network traffic to be, yeah. You know how when you are downloading a torrent with most torrent clients, there's an option to download the parts consecutively as well as download the first and last parts in the beginning? hayase basically downloads the first and last part of the file initially, then as you watch, it downloads consecutively. If you leave the stream, the data is in temp files and should be deleted when you close the tab. there is an option for persistent downloads that keeps what you downloaded in your temp folder.

#

which is also how all legit streaming services work too, except with an extra layer of encryption/widevine/playready

normal hare
#

the mal sync is so funny i just see all the shows i added like 7 years ago

boreal rover
#

I have yet to see what the catch is with hayase, it's all open source and on github, and even a few people I know from archiveteam, a few private tracker major contributors, and yt-dlp team contribute to it, so it just seems like a passion project to make things as easy and accessible as possible

#

but there has to be a catch, right? 😄

gilded ember
#

its for the broke boys, i mean you can pay for crunchyroll if ur really that sketched by it

boreal rover
#

crunchyroll only has like .... maybe 40-50% of shows I would want to watch

#

you'd need prime, netflix, D+, hidive, and god knows what else to get it all

normal hare
#

yeah i was surprised, at least the mobile one is paid

#

i had one bad experience with the crunchyroll website back when there was like a free month off so i just never went back

gilded ember
#

i dont really care if i get a virus on my pc or get my info stolen its for the love of the game atp 🫡

boreal rover
#

very unlikely for that to happen with hayase thankfully

#

but like all open source projects that rely on input from a variety of users for the repositories as well as the relatively curated search function in this one, there's always a chance of a malicious injection of some kind

gilded ember
#

that's always the flaw of pirating anyways

#

goddamn bubba is mikadono that good to be watching 5 hours for

normal hare
#

oh LMAO i left it open i was doing other things 😭

#

adhd go brr i go down a rabbit hole of doing other things that i forgot what i was initially doing

gilded ember
#

tbf it is already a fun show than i thought what it was

normal hare
#

i'll probably actually watch it tonight

boreal rover
#

it's funny how Amagami Sisters and Mikadono Sisters started right around the same time and both got an anime adaptation around the same time

normal hare
#

sisters amirite

boreal rover
#

the plot of the two is too similar lol

normal hare
#

yeah just one's kindness is more upfront while the other is a tsundere

boreal rover
#

lol true enough

#

also I didn't expect summer pockets to be the way it is, such a novel way of adopting a visual novel

#

spoiler of course, but instead of adapting heroine routes directly and leaving out the part where they fall in love and have MC move onto the next girl in another episode, ||they're actually doing a weird groundhog day/summer where the MC has to beat all the routes and start from the beginning each time||

#

pretty unusual changeup and kind of neat, I don't know the VN so this is still new to me

normal hare
#

i really want to watch it but waiting for it to finish airing cause my friend who played the vn insists to watch it with me

gilded ember
#

this a good ass character design icl

||it's just sad cause from the flashbacks it looked like his mom didn't care, like I know you busy but bro literally cooked for her and she just ignored him but on her deathbed she realised she wanted to spend more time as family with him||

||not to mention they only had each other||

||I do really like how emotionally aware he is though, always great when someone can see behind the mask of a tsundere wonkekw ||

101 in manipulation

calm frigate
#

i saw the ending posted here so this progression kinda feels weird for me like what even happened after this that resulted to that ending lol

#

or is it like a fake ending true ending

normal hare
#

The manga is nowhere close from ending

#

Looks like an arc or two at least

calm frigate
#

dang

#

welp we can consider this exact panel the ending and we can end it here lmao

normal hare
#

Yeah they'll eventually end up together but man the author has a unique talent for extending things

boreal rover
#

I suspect the "ending leak" was more of an audience testing or hype marketing lol

normal hare
#

2nd kiss and somehow this relationship has made no progress

boreal rover
#

watch it be some kind of harem ending with ruka and chizuru, there's no conceivable path forward otherwise

shoutout cloverworks for producing 3 insanely animated shows this season and not even action

boreal rover
#

cloverworks has done this twice before in this decade alone

#

and each time one of the shows at least took a major hit in production quality and became irrelevant

#

but I feel like all three IPs this time around have enough staying power for that not to happen

I'm a bit worried we won't get enough time to see the characters at the end

#

Cause there's just so many things to wrap up

#

He did say there were 7 or 8 chapters left

gilded ember
#

he dont wanna admit the anime adaptation is terrible tho

normal hare
#

Can't exactly say that cause he was the one who went with this studio

#

Obviously the studio blundered but he also blundered when it came to choosing who to animate his work

gilded ember
#

oh well i guess so, idk why he did not reach out to the big producers anyway, did he want to cheap out on it?

boreal rover
#

intellectual property bureaucracy perhaps?

#

sometimes studios want more control over an adaptation as well as rights over certain aspects

normal hare
gilded ember
#

i don't think studios are that demanding of control of the story

normal hare
#

His own post on reddit

#

No idea what the process was completely like but several studios came to him and he chose a-cat because of their director's passion for the original source material

#

Guess we'll never know what other studios were in the mix

#

Probably a good chance tapas was the one that came to him with the list of studios and I don't think he did his research properly

#

There was a hiatus for the manhwa for awhile because they weren't willing to pay the og artist and it enraged a lot of people cause the original art was so good, so wouldn't be surprised if they had a hand in this

#

All in all just so disappointing

gilded ember
#

i may have been mistaken once again, turkey is still a bowling anime but mixed with time travel and historical aspects?

#

they're pretty much going through the evolution of bowling

normal hare
#

Inb4 this creates a buzz for bowling that haikyuu created for volleyball

gilded ember
#

i doubt it lol, it has alot of problems like one major flaw im seeing rn is they cannot decide the aspect of being serious or silly

#

but the plot is still very foggy for me to drop the show so ill continue watching

normal hare
#

You never know japan catches onto things for little reason sometimes

gilded ember
#

i mean its definitely a hit or miss direction they are going with here

#

its either you become successful or be in the bargain bins at a garage sale and nothing in between

normal hare
#

Yeah I'm playing I ain't even watched the show yet I'll wait for the verdict halfway thru the szn if I wanna try wonkekw

gilded ember
#

sigh im just kinda disappointed that they didn't just go for the cgdct slice of life route because i don't think we have a true original bowling anime yet

#

it was at the palm of their hands to go with the mygo route!

mikadono ep 3

||its really nice how relatable the mikadono's relationship is, like me and my brother probably only talk at most 4 times a month which i know is crazy for most people but we don't really need each other for everyday stuff anyways 🙃

man the endings feels like makeine all over again with each girl having their own one 🫡||

boreal rover
#

I can't remember which anime (harem specifically) started that trend of EDs with each of the girls getting their own

#

but I feel like Nisekoi had that way back when and there are probably others even older

#

I'm not a fan of the mikadono character designs but the anime is pretty funny and wholesome so far

#

nice gift this season by PA Works

#

and I take back what I said before, it's not really like Amagami Sisters at all other than the very initial premise

#

it's more quintessential quintuplets

normal hare
#

kinda similar to both, first few episodes are mc trying to break the ice with each girl

#

the most recent show i can remember with different eds for different girls was makeine

#

amagami ss is probably the oldest i can remember

#

also yeah same here designs aren't my cup of tea but i haven't laughed this hard in a good while

#

budget is also amazing

boreal rover
#

I do have many questions like why the MC doesn't have his mother's inheritence and all that but I'm sure I'll get answers. I haven't really read much of the manga, only in passing before

#

and yeah Amagami SS had different EDs for the girls

#

I feel like there were a few others based on visual novels...

#

Little Busters! had like 6 different heroine EDs

#

oh I didn't want to remember but now I do, School Days had different EDs too lol

#

missed opportunity for Summer Pockets to have this kind of rotating or at least per heroine arc EDs

gilded ember
#

man i really love yuu tho, he adapts so well to the girls

normal hare
#

what happens when you grow up a people pleaser /s

gilded ember
#

:0 new yuri manga

normal hare
#

art looks good enough

#

some simple easy food

gilded ember
#

i want more psycho shit

normal hare
#

i'd be fine with just anything unique, they're kinda falling down that path of reused school romance tropes

#

but for simple easy food it works

gilded ember
#

yuri reused content is still good tho, atleast they always progress asap

normal hare
#

oh yeah now that you mentioned it they do progress pretty fast

#

guess it's what happens when you're both girls

#

what is boundary

normal hare
#

Find you a story that can balance the pacing, not too quick but not painstakingly dragged out

gilded ember
#

there's a shortage rn mate

normal hare
#

too much demand for junk food 😔

"the most popular girl in my class, the ice queen beauty suddenly confessed her feelings to me, a loner at the bottom of the class system?!?"

if jt has a long title, shit might be ass most of the time lol

normal hare
#

usually light novels

gilded ember
#

man i really wanna get into lns but i get bored quickly

#

give me tips man

normal hare
#

i don't think i've read a ln in awhile i usually read wns, also if you get bored quickly it's either ur attention span is cooked

#

or u reading some bad stuff wonkekw

#

some ppl just don't have the attention span for it that's y they prefer manga/manhwa

#

usually if i can't focus i just put ambient music on in the bg

gilded ember
#

man im the biggest sol fan there's just no way its my attention span

#

i just need images

normal hare
#

yeah needing images is a big part of keeping your attention

#

also ig if you find it difficult to visualize

#

but yeah if you need images lns definitely aren't for you they have like 1 every 30 pages or so

gilded ember
#

i think novels are best enjoyed maybe somewhere where u just can't use ur phone and u got nothing to do

#

yea i actually might be interested that way

normal hare
#

that's usually how i read, when i'm outside or like laying in bed

#

instead of scrolling ig reels i read

gilded ember
#

yea man i jus wanna get off my phone, been using this shit for 14 hours everyday

#

ill goto a bookstore tomorrow

normal hare
#

Wish that were a more convenient bookstore nearby, I was actually thinking of getting back into book buying

#

Wanted to buy a couple of blue box physicals to reread cause nothing beats the book smell and feel

gilded ember
#

i hope i can find the days with my stepsister ln here

normal hare
#

hey real talk book connosieurs know that books just smell diff

normal hare
gilded ember
#

yeaa... might have to order online

normal hare
#

ong might be time to start reading too if s2 ain't in the books

gilded ember
#

damn only 129 chapters?

#

pretty unheard of in the battle shounen genre

normal hare
#

A lot of them usually overstay their welcome

#

Demon slayer was also kinda short, around 205

gilded ember
#

oh wow rlly? pretty impressive with how much seasons they get despite the low chapters

normal hare
#

Honestly 4 seasons and 4 movies relative to other shounen series is kinda short, my hero is like finishing on season 8

gilded ember
#

mha got a shit ton of chapters tho thats why

normal hare
#

Yeah the big shounens are usually all 300+

silk bridge
#

gang is black clover worth watching

azure ravine
#

ive been watching the last 30 eps but been alot of skipping fillers inbetween.
first half was def worth watching though

silk bridge
#

okokok

#

im watching a lot of shorter ones these days but want something a bit longer to commit to

#

ty

#

got my sakamoto tees

azure ravine
#

aye nice. is that show good?

lunar zephyr
#

If you want a fun battle shonen, Black clover is really solid. When I first watched it years ago I thought it was badly written and derivative but then I tried it again maybe like 4 years ago and binged most of it before timeskip. I actually heard post time skip is pretty good. I think what made it fun was that it was just easy to watch and kinda made me feel like a kid again.

austere skiff
#

sakamoto days (manga) is really good

#

apparently the adaptation is slideshow city which is a shame

azure ravine
#

so like blue lock s2? rip

boreal rover
#

first season/cour was already bad enough

#

this season I'm just not gonna watch past episode 1

vale bloom
#

Rewarching log horizon again

#

Holy these eps are somgood to watch again

#

Buying the guild zone and the next arc

#

Making him a real adventurer

#

Iam so excited to watch it again

azure ravine
#

log horizon is so goated

vale bloom
#

Also i havent warched the following season so its gonna be a real treat to watch

#

Though ive heard that the ff seasons arent that great compared to s1 ChoerryNervous

vale bloom
#

Bruh the world bulding in this

silk bridge
normal hare
#

Yeah black clover is far from perfect and drags in some moments but it's just such a fun show

azure ravine
#

àt ep 165 atm and yeh, def not enjoying these last 30 eps. do got their moments though

Your birthday present

#

I'm slowly starting to see the appeal in age gaps but I only really enjoy it when the dude is younger wonkekw

gilded ember
#

its a good read trust

normal hare
#

the first few chapters were not bad

#

now that it's getting animated i might as well wait

gilded ember
#

i was wondering why this manga was on 2 month hiatus, author must preparing for this

#

he left it on a cliffhanger bruh

#

oh nvm he left it on a backstory so it aint that bad actually

calm frigate
#

anime plot out of mundane stuff or is there a plot twist like they're actually assassins

normal hare
#

this water magician show is average in so many aspects but the animation and music keeping me watching

#

literally just a vibes are immaculate thing

gilded ember
#

wow as a person who does not watch shows like takopi at all, ngl this show might win anime of the year

gilded ember
#

sigh i know mate

normal hare
#

The thing is if there was ever a season of sl to win it should've been s2 not 1

#

Reminds me of when jjk won after only airing 1 cour

gilded ember
#

already the 19th highest rated anime oat on mal

azure ravine
#

wow

gilded ember
#

they made depression peak somehow

azure ravine
#

ok finished black clover

#

these last 3 eps were actually good

boreal rover
normal hare
#

Clannad made depression pretty peak

gilded ember
#

op of the season loll

normal hare
#

Oh god it's here

gilded ember
#

those prechorus scenes was definitely hentai

#

lmao

boreal rover
#

summer pockets ain't helping that reputation either lol

normal hare
#

Good crybait

#

Clannad a real good coming of age anime that everyone has to watch at some point in their lives

#

It just changes you

boreal rover
#

yeah be ready to binge all the way to the end of after story and all that though if you start it 😄

#

looks like summer pockets will do something similar ||with the pace it is going, last ~8 episodes or so a sort of 'true path' after story||

boreal rover
normal hare
#

It sounds kinda nuts but I enjoyed s1 more than after story

#

Maybe just cause I was slightly less depressed

boreal rover
#

that's a pretty valid way to enjoy clannad lol, s1 is better, after story just gives you that conclusion your heart desires

#

for better or worse

normal hare
#

Yeah, train scene gotta be a top 5 scene oat

#

Vividly remember friendly sobbing in call even though he had watched the series 4 times before

boreal rover
#

there are certain scenes that will do that without exception every single time

silk bridge
#

first that one about her panties and now this

gilded ember
#

shimoneta wasn't that bad

normal hare
#

I think he's talking about takamine

gilded ember
#

ohh makes sense

normal hare
#

Boundaries of what is anime and what isn't have been long gone

silk bridge
#

just remember seeing the synopsis lmao

gilded ember
#

anime watchers of kaoru hana tonight finna hate subaru 😭

#

I guess we start somewhere

inland talon
#

Just found out Gachiakuta that episode 3 is being delayed

#

I skipped this week’s episode to binge 2 episodes

#

Now you’re telling me I have to wait another week???

normal hare
#

I just can't help but laugh everytime someone apologises

#

I keep remembering the meme of welcome to apology the anjme

gilded ember
#

tall girl who looks cold

normal hare
#

Ohhh

#

Right lmao

#

I didn't really hate anyone it's obvious everyone has their prejudices

gilded ember
#

it was still pretty careless of her to just base her beliefs thru rumors

normal hare
#

They're kids that's what they do, literally all the guys in the show do that too

#

That's the whole point of the show really

#

Learning to know people for who they are and not judging without

#

Honestly waguri is the only one who doesn't just cause she's such a pure soul pleadeh

normal hare
#

High praises from the jp side of things

#

I'm actually kinda excited to see it in theaters cause covid was going on when mugen train released

calm frigate
#

it's august for me

normal hare
#

same

#

csm should be around the same time

calm frigate
#

cant wait. the last anime that i watched in theaters was haikyuu. it wasnt bad but comparing it to slam dunk experience which is the finals vs a rivalry game so the vibe was different

#

but hearing other people cheer together is pretty fun

normal hare
#

haikyuu was fun too, was literally just me and 1 other girl in the theaters wonkekw

calm frigate
#

oh lol

#

did you watch it late ?

normal hare
#

it was probably cause it was a smaller cinema, not in a big mall or anything

calm frigate
#

oh

normal hare
#

rewatched it another time with my cousins and it was great they were cheering too

calm frigate
#

people were cheering and clapping every time nishinoya saved the ball

#

the finals would be crazy in cinema

normal hare
#

see you in 2027 🥲

calm frigate
#

too far in the future CryingNGNL

#

but i bet it's gonna be great

normal hare
#

same experience i had with aot

#

knew it was gonna be great back in 2020

#

just had to wait for 5 more final seasons

calm frigate
#

that reminds me i need to watch the rest of it lol if only it was on theateres and it was post covid

#

ah no it was i think maybe i missed it

#

ah january 8

#

i did miss it

normal hare
#

ok i finally got time to watch the 1 hour clevatess premier, wtf did i just watch

#

i'm intrigued

gilded ember
#

i have a question, did anyone watch from aniplus here before? are they infamous for making horrible subs?

#

hmm actually, it probably must just be the show im watching since it's insanely unrecognized outside japan

silk bridge
#

decided im gonna finish some shows before I start black clover

#

can't keep starting new ones oliviakek

#

oh did kaiju no8 season 2 just start too?

boreal rover
#

yeah it did, also manga just ended

gilded ember
#

About to piss a lot of people off. Keeping it blunt cause people are trying to downplay it

The Lord of Mysteries anime has done a terrible job in explaining stuff in comparison to the novels.

Novel readers will be mostly fine, but anime onlys are lost and telling them to read a wiki or read the novel to understand what's happening. Showcases a major failure in the adaptation

An adaptation should be a closed ecosystem and if its a good product it shouldn't need you to look at external sources to understand it.

The first 3 episodes did unrepairable damage with the pacing for anime onlys to understand... that's not including how I believe the flashy animation is actually too distracting for anime onlys imho

#

damn truly unfortunate

normal hare
#

I haven't seen it yet

#

Hey man at least it's better than the slidehsow ass tbate got

#

Some die of thirst while others drown

azure ravine
#

i love the animation and will agree. their jumping quite alot. while watching i was like:
Huh? the show is already at this point?

#

like 5 episodes in and we already around chapter 130 of the webnovel

normal hare
#

wait what that's crazy lmao

#

though i guess with webnovel adaptations you never really know how much traction you can get

#

so they want to make a splash as soon as possible

#

probably not gonna include too much of the buildup phases

normal hare
#

bunny girl ep3 ||wow ok did not expect that to make me tear up, that transition was beautiful, also santa claus jumpscare again||

#

||I guess the message for this one is that she didn't really need to learn to read the room in front of people that didn't matter to her, but only for those who were closest to her, and in the end she realized the rest of the girls were doing it for the love of the game, budokan or not, the ending scene is zukki waving was so wholesome, zukki at her best when she's happy and not giving a damn||

gilded ember
#

that scripted ahh event bruh

#

even the weather was scripted

#

also ngl hot take but this op is better than kimi no sei

boreal rover
#

felt like what actual overwhelming anxiety would do to a person, aside from the scripted weather event lol

boreal rover
#

gotta have a strong stomach though for the next two episodes, I'm sure it'll get better after...

#

kind of crazy this summer, this is the most I've watched of airing shows probably ever, usually I limit myself to 2-3 per season at best.

#

I'm gonna watch some of the others once they finish airing, like summer pockets, ruri no houseki, game center shoujo, bad girl, WataNare/yuri muri, etc.

#

but these 11 I'll try to keep up with weekly on the weekends

#

there are some excellent shoujo airing right now too, but those I also like to watch after the seasons end

#

(though you could argue mikadono sisters is basically a genderbender shoujo lol)

normal hare
normal hare
#

Did not expect that much gore

normal hare
#

But yeah this season has been the first great one we've had in awhile, think I got my dress up, bunnygirl, fragrant flower, clevatess, silent witch, mikadono, and water mage

#

Was thinking of adding more but I know id probably end up dropping them

#

My tolerance for watching 7/10 shows and below just not where it used to be, water mage the only exception cause the budget been pretty good

gilded ember
#

im 14 deep

normal hare
#

How do u even find the time 😭

#

I think even in my prime I was watching 10 at most

gilded ember
#

its really not that much especially when the shows are spread out thru the week

#

oh kaiju no 8 is out it's gonna be 15 now

normal hare
#

It takes a lot of drive for me to watch shows so they have to be like really good

gilded ember
#

if it keeps my eyes glued, i keep on going

#

only my criteria really

#

not that much effort to entertain me

normal hare
#

Fair enough

boreal rover
# normal hare What shows? I must've missed em

secrets of the silent witch is technically shoujo, betrothed to my sister's ex is another good one although it's a bit more adult oriented, more josei, there must have been some others, perhaps I'm mistaking them from the last couple of seasons...

normal hare
#

I guess whenever I hear shoujo I just think like the most shoujo kinda anime like ao haru ride or like orange

#

It's like when ppl say shounen I automatically think of battle shounen

boreal rover
#

yeah shoujo is a pretty big category on its own

#

all the magical girl shoujo anime were basically battle shoujo

#

yona of the dawn too

#

and there are lots of other examples, and not always female protagonist either, and not necessarily romance either

gilded ember
# gilded ember im 14 deep

i wanna talk about this show, its like k-on/hibike but they are an acapella group, too bad this show ain't promoted that well like there's probably less than 1000 people watching this show worldwide lmao

#

i ain't never heard of that studio in moi life

rustic lynx
#

I gotta watch the Uma anime shows

gilded ember
#

oh wait no the studio made yuru yuri and oreimo lmao

boreal rover
#

Jumondou? no, they're more like an outsource studio for some of the bigger studios

#

that anime has only one or two VA that are somewhat recognizable, the rest are complete rookies

#

the studio is very small and this seems like an original by them

#

and most of their other works is hentai...

gilded ember
gilded ember
normal hare
#

i'm still avoiding the lns please drop the s2 😭

gilded ember
#

just let it go mate 😭

normal hare
#

i've been waiting 4 years already...

#

i'm too deep in

gilded ember
#

i feel like its more harder to read action lns than romance lns

#

its hard to get immersed

normal hare
#

i'd say the buildup for romances in lns are more enjoyable

#

but the peaks for action are nuts

#

after reading through all the training and power system explanations

#

it helps that the action lns usually have romance subplots so u get the best of both worlds

gilded ember
#

do u just imagine the action scenes lol

normal hare
#

the same way you would visualize any moment in any book

#

they are usually pretty descriptive

gilded ember
#

i mean ig its fairly similar to imagining main leads holding hands

gilded ember
normal hare
#

yep that's the best part about novels

#

you just get to see more of their thoughts

normal hare
#

silent witch really be my comfort watch of the season weirdly enough, just very cozy

gilded ember
#

i dont like how they are treating monica man especially as a person who has extreme social anxiety 🙃

normal hare
#

let me guess, "there's no way someone is that anxious!"

#

i'll check back with their opinions after we finally get her traumatic backstory that they've hinted at a couple of times

gilded ember
normal hare
#

i gotta catch up, always been excited to see loid and yor actually develop feelings for each other

gilded ember
#

im surprised it took this long

normal hare
#

probably was a smaller subplot this whole time beneath the whole spy business and ongoing war

gilded ember
#

oh yea i totally forgot this show is about spys lmao

damn that went fast. just watched the entirety of beginning of the end.
am interested in reading it now

normal hare
#

Honestly surprised you finished the adaptation

#

It's an amazing novel but the anime butchered it

azure ravine
#

was it badly received? i mean the animation is def bad, but the world, progression been quite interesting. nothing others havent done, but i enjoyed those and so did i enjoy this too

normal hare
#

It was clowned on by the whole community and the whole dedicated fanbase hates it lmao

#

And yeah it's just the animation really

#

The story itself is fine

azure ravine
#

i was just comparing the whole show to mushoku tensei. i mean... literally everything felt the same

normal hare
#

Uhh yeah the starting point is pretty much the same, but it diverges pretty completely after that

azure ravine
#

|| once he starts the adventure or the school?||

normal hare
#

||I'd say after the school part, in mushoku he did become an adventurer and go to school, thought I guess that's pretty on par for most isekais ||

azure ravine
#

yeah, except || in mushoku he was thrown into the adventure and school is quite a big gap inbetween. idk how far away school arc is here. this anime adaption seems to try and skim through the adventurer arc||

normal hare
#

||I'd say it was also kinda skimmed over in the source content, it was really kinda just one small mini arc, the academy arc is right after||

azure ravine
#

ah rip. || literally skipping all his growth including the 3/4 years he spend in the elf kingdom||

normal hare
#

||relative to the rest of the story, not a lot of growth to be seen, his relationships built in the elf kingdom probably the most important part||

azure ravine
#

hmm

#

oh its free on webnovel and only 350 chapters cool. worth reading?

normal hare
#

It should be up to chapter 514 rn I'm all caught up

azure ravine
#

last update here is over a year ago

normal hare
#

Definitely worth reading my pfp is from the novel wonkekw

#

Yeah the last update should be 2 months

azure ravine
#

jasmine?

normal hare
#

Nah she's someone you'll meet later on

azure ravine
#

ah okay

normal hare
#

You could go to the manhwa and then to the novel

azure ravine
#

they all seem to use the same colors lol

#

comics bad

#

even after reading a few things on webtoon still prefer novels

normal hare
#

The tbate manhwa was pretty good only thing I was disappointed about was the artist changed near the end

#

It was just nice to get a visual for everything

azure ravine
#

i still have no ides what the characters in solo leveling look like as i only read novel and seen the anime when it came out lol

#

but yeh lemme look for these other 150 chapters

normal hare
azure ravine
normal hare
#

It's probably safer than webnovel I get popups on that

azure ravine
#

webnovel is official and legal lol

#

been using it for like 8/9 years now

normal hare
#

Oh I got it mixed up with another site

#

But it's usually lagging behind in updates

#

By like a lot

#

It's like reading official translations vs fan translations

azure ravine
#

for non chinese novels that does seem to be true yeah

azure ravine
normal hare
#

It was the only one I could find without pop ups on mobile so I stuck w/ it lmao

azure ravine
normal hare
#

Yeah official will always be better, just whether u have the patience

#

Like with mahouka there was no way I was waiting for yen press

#

Brothers were like years behind

azure ravine
#

mahouka koukou? too many mahouka named things out there lol

normal hare
#

Yea

azure ravine

Ok just checked mal they've handled a lot of stuff for other studios

#

Guess they only really got into producing their own anime recently

Harem shows baby

#

No matter what orientation they are ass

gilded ember
#

watch the ep man it wasnt a harem situation at all

normal hare
#

Just do the tl dr I dropped the manga ages ago

normal hare

gilded ember
#

i guess it was a valid reaction from a heat of a moment

gilded ember
normal hare
#

I mean it's just fanservice no, same thing with video games where characters are given great physiques

#

People like looking at attractive things

gilded ember
#

i think he wants a general answer along with shounen battle characters

normal hare
#

He's asking why shounen characters are hot?

gilded ember
#

idk what does endowed even mean

normal hare
#

Endowed just means physically you have assets

gilded ember
#

ohh i see

normal hare
#

So essentially he's asking why does every women look like that and the answer really is just fanservice

#

Neuron activation

gilded ember
#

this a good reply right?

#

him means them lol typo

normal hare
#

If you watch a show like free for example that's fanservice for a predominantly women audience

#

That's also why women in shounen battle anime are usually not written very well

#

Though that trend I'd say has changed over time

gilded ember
#

oh yea the male side is just majorly the more vocal side totally forgot about that

normal hare
#

Also depending on what spaces you occupy really

gilded ember
#

well talking about the mainstream side i should say

normal hare
#

if we're just talking online, youtube/twt is pretty mixed, reddit male centric, tumblr female centric

#

Age is just such a weird thing to argue in anime for me, you have underage looking older and then older people looking like actual kids

#

Yeah fire force is about as bad as it gets

#

Fairy tail also

#

That one really feels like a different kinda thing because marin herself is the one in charge of her sexuality and is open in expressing it, rather than how most shounen usually do it

#

So if they were 1000 years old but they looked like a child would that make it better

#

It's just a weird slippery slope anime is on

#

But what about adults in real life who look like kids

#

I'm sure you've seen many

#

Not everyone looks their age

#

Which is why I just don't die on this hill

#

Not everything in anime is intentional either

#

Sure some may be but not all

#

Like if u have an issue with it I don't mind whatsoever but it's just not something I personally die on

normal hare
#

Ig it's kinda the same business with Facebook

#

Perceived to be dead but a lot of ppl still use it

gilded ember
#

i think this is a good answer

normal hare
#

I assume the same demographic that have used tumblr are still pretty attached to it

#

It is a bit less replaceable than fb ig

#

It's kinda like female reddit to me

#

You just make posts (memes, art) and communities

gilded ember
normal hare
#

I was about to say Japan weird but in kids cartoon shows you get innuendos and suggestive imagery so I guess the world is just weird

gilded ember
#

yea they are just in the limelight due to this industry

normal hare
#

I am weirdly excited to see the movie after not caring about this for a few years

#

Considering that plot isn't too integral to demon slayer I wouldn't be surprise if people just watched this as a solo movie

#

I think demon slayer had an interesting enough plot to keep me seated, entertainment district arc was genuinely great, a better example would probably be God of highschool

#

That one was just pure fights

#

Webtoon adaptations yay

#

Yeah just gotta get one of the big hitters in the industry

#

Better wait and get good production than rushed and ruined, seen too many big titles get that treatment

#

In terms of webtoon adaptations so far solo leveling by the far the best but we've yet to see anything of a similar calibur, tower of God s1 was pretty good then it got butchered in s2

#

Yeah you could be one piece with dragged episodes and fillers wonkekw , from what I've seen bleach looks pretty good

#

I will catch up eventually...

#

I was reading the manga so if I lock in I could probably catch up quick enough, just gotta finish my novels first

#

rescuing rukia from soul society AINTNOWAY

normal hare
#

rereading a long running shounen sounds nuts to me, i don't think i've ever attempted that

#

Ok reading is one thing watching is a different level

#

Yeah fair enough bleach is on the "shorter" side ig

#

so glad we don't get anymore new anime that just run for hundreds of episodes

#

i'd rather wait a year or two for new seasons

#

than see all that filler

#

helps that fillers just work so well with a series like gintama where a lot of it is just them messing around

#

shippuden TrollDespair

#

we literally got a good 80 eps of filler before the final fight

#

naruto filler in a nutshell:

#

ig they just want to put on smth simple for the kids

gilded ember
#

lfg!

#

also this was one of our talking points that dude is 30 btw lmao

normal hare
#

oh hmm i've never heard of this before

#

that's about as simple as a plot gets wonkekw

#

a lot to work with

gilded ember
#

its iyashikei i don't think you'll like it

normal hare
#

yeah

#

not really a fan of the art either

#

looks like something out of a 90s kids cartoon

#

Just great characters

#

Even the background characters

normal hare
#

Honestly this was the first time a shounen has ever made me feel like the villains might just win

#

Like when you realised the head of the snake was a bad guy you were just like man what can they even do

inland talon
#

I even started caring about Havoc. I got so hyped when he was through the phone

inland talon
normal hare
#

The only thing really lacking was ed's power growth, would've been nice to see him be able to stand his ground against stronger dudes

inland talon
#

Now I’m excited for her new work to get animated

gilded ember
#

lmao wtf

normal hare
#

oh this one was actually pretty funny

rustic lynx
#

I like how they had to specify that it's a "Non-NTR" romcom

normal hare
#

people do be quick to jump

#

it's a parody of that trope so yeah it serves it's purpose

i've seen a lot of traditional kinda dance in anime but hip hop is a first

dammit umg

#

rotoscoping usually looks better but probably not practical for any production

#

the mocap dancing looks pretty good in the cgi

#

i think the cardigan fabric simulation is letting them down

first chapter of beginning after the end. is already better than the entire anime season. the anime skipped all the humor.

mikadono sis ep 4

||i can't say it enough on how yuu is one of the best mcs I've seen, the fact that he gets everything done for the girls to even succeed more in their craft just makes me tear up 🥹, he's closer to that goal of a healthy family relationship he and his mom wanted 🫡

also miwa for the ed lfg!!!||
