Citrus is like the Sao of yuri, the gateway anime

rustic lynx
#

It should probably be Yuru Yuri, it's like Lucky Star but yuri but not too much that it over-stimulates, it gives just the right amount of yuri for beginners

gilded ember
#

no man its bloom into you

rustic lynx
#

I don't wanna say that cause it'll offend Bubba

normal hare
#

Problem is if u start with bloom into your expectations are too high

#

Gotta give some appetisers

gilded ember
#

i started with bloom into you, still never left

rustic lynx
normal hare
#

You know what I can't even lie there really isn't even a lot to recommend people to get into yuri

#

A lot of the stuff is like decent fluff

#

But in terms of meat outside of a few names there isn't much

#

You'd probably be better of watching stuff that just has yuri bait or shoujo ai adjacent stuff

#

yaoi rules the the smut manhwa genre so they have a lot of backlog

gilded ember
#

cuz it's still growing but anime adaptations are already showing up now

rustic lynx
#

They're too afraid to adapt Murcielago

normal hare
#

it's guilty pleasure yuri gateway show

normal hare
#

we're slowly starting to get stuff that it isn't just teenage fluff romance

#

that one with the monster girl or smt

#

and the fantasy ones

#

good progress

rustic lynx
#

At least the isekais are starting to die out

normal hare
#

the yuri ones or just in general

rustic lynx
#

Can you believe there's only 6 isekais shows airing right now? NOWAY

normal hare
#

oh in general

#

ahhh it's definitely not dead it's just this season

#

i still see loads of new stuff coming out

rustic lynx
#

2 of them are sequels

normal hare
#

just gotta give them time for them to cook, soon enough studios are gonna be frothing at their mouths

gilded ember
#

dark fantasy is lowkey replacing it little by little

#

speaking on the shoujo topic from ystd, i am now gonna begin my great search for recent shoujo gold

gilded ember
#

pfft good luck mate u gonna need it

normal hare
#

I lied this was a good one i'd read recently

#

wanted to throw a chair at the male lead though

#

i feel like that's usually a trend with shoujos I read

#

the ao haru ride mc grinded my gears too

gilded ember
#

true they are just tsunderes at first

normal hare
#

this one was a bit nice cause he was the shy boy and became a hot idol to attract his childhood friend

gilded ember
#

tbh popular x loner trope is a hit or miss

normal hare
#

yeah that's what makes this one a bit better cause he's a loner --> popular guy

#

especially cause he's becoming popular just for his og childhood crush

#

and she's not a loner just a normal girl

gilded ember
#

oh i see

#

bro you know what genre im craving for nowadays

#

where are my crossdressing shows

normal hare
#
MangaDex

Hikari, a highly popular model hailed as the "Cutest Girl in the World"... The mysterious model turned out to be an ordinary high school student named Harema Kouki! Kouki is troubled by the fact that he feels he's too cute when cross-dressing and can't find other girls cute... But by a twist of fate, he realizes that his classmate, Amamiya-san, ...

#

in terms of anime uhh i know we had the senpai otonoko one but idt we've gotten anything else

#

guess my dress up

normal hare
#

oh til it's a novel adaptation

gilded ember
#

damn that's why it only has 7 chapters still

normal hare
#

yeah mangas are just rough nowadays, find something promising and then it just gets dropped by the translating team

#

or it gets axed

#

https://mangadex.org/title/a1526a66-5dbf-4fef-9e7b-5f8f48b2ca93/asagiiro-no-saudade oh wait this should be right up your alley, yuri and the main girl crossdresses as a boy

MangaDex

Ren Fujisawa could not find a place in her hometown or in Tokyo where the pieces of her identity fit together. She was about to give up on everything, when the person who appeared in front of her was the person she missed the most in the world, the person she wanted to see more than anything else in the world, the person she wanted to see so bad...

#

the funniest part was i didn't even realize it was a girl until like 4 chapters in lmao

#

only 6 chapters now but it updated recently

gilded ember
#

i wish there was completed ones tho

normal hare
#

you would probably have to look far back

#

i recommend mulan

#

this one's got 154 chapters, it's about her having to crossdress to fill in for her brother in the army (mulan basically)

#

i never actually caught up but it was interesting initially

#

just hard to find good completed stuff

gilded ember
#

makes sense maybe ill just goto reddit

normal hare
#

crossdressing just isn't a widely sought genre so it makes even more difficult to find when you have more specifications

gilded ember
normal hare
#

Ah it's a Web comic so just expect that to be a lot shorter

gilded ember
#

its fine, those 51 page chapters kills me

normal hare
#

51 gawd damn what you been reading

#

That's like monthly manga length

gilded ember
#

nah i thought you know this when you start some mangas the first 5 chapters would be 40-51 pages but it does decrease bit by bit

normal hare
#

I've only really seen that once in awhile

gilded ember
#

i think shonen jump stuff starts like that often

normal hare
#

What in the yuri promised neverland lmao

normal hare

Thirty-five-year-old novelist Makio Koudai never had a good relationship with her older sister Minori, who always berated her for being different. Due to this, Makio is not stricken with grief upon hearing the news that Minori and her husband die in a car crash. But when Makio is asked to identify their bodies, she runs into her 15-year-old niece, Asa Takumi, whom she has not seen in years.

Struggling to process her parents' death, Makio reassures Asa that her complicated feelings are valid and suggests that the teenager start writing in a diary as a way to cope with the loss. Upon learning that no other relatives wanted to take in Asa, Makio decides to become her guardian despite her lack of experience. In a world full of uncertainty, the novelist and teenager must learn to live with each other while figuring themselves out.

oh yea cuz it would've said consecutive cours

the quality looks pretty good so if that break is necessary to give the staff ample time, then i'm all for it

its feel, also they have so much shows coming out too

||welcome to the manga reader club, just trust the context and buildup will 100% make it better||

boreal rover
#

it's so much better in the anime, but waguri and usami sharing the same braincell (aside from intelligence) will never not be funny oliviakek

boreal rover
#

but I will say, I did not read Kaguya manga past like the first 5 chapters and only watched the anime and the impact it had was much better without spoilers. I subsequently went and read the manga parts that were skipped over.

normal hare
#

Yup and why I will always stand by waiting for anime adaptations than reading ahead, unless subsequent adaptations are just never gonna happen

#

The first time experience is just completely different

gilded ember
#

i mean ofc we always know the conclusions of most romance stuff but the anticipation perk is what always gets me yk and now that i know its coming, im just a little bummed out by it

boreal rover
#

I don't think we'll get that this season tbh

normal hare
#

Bisque doll was pretty bad with spoilers which was why I read ahead

normal hare
boreal rover
#

I genuinely do believe we'll get a different third season than how the manga went

#

because if there is a third season that only follows the manga, it'll be 6, maybe 7 episodes at most and that's even pushing it a bit

#

the author clearly had at least one or two more arcs planned out and just left them all hanging

#

let's see what happens, I hope it doesn't take 3+ years for another season

normal hare
#

Probably not, now that it's finished they can just go ahead and adapt everything else, the manga progression beforehand was just rlly slow

gilded ember
#

third season should just be an OVA tbh

#

if they decide to do one

normal hare
#

Ova for a finale would be crazy at least make it like a movie wonkekw

https://x.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1964254888181060085?t=tCo-Ud2T4qfZAKw7J5x6TQ&s=19 a bit excited and worried just cause of how they handled zom 100

gilded ember
#

btw have yall been keeping up with rascal jeez the recent ep was insane

boreal rover
# gilded ember third season should just be an OVA tbh

nah I think they should do a proper season and expand on the manga stuff a bit more, or add some more romance elements. most good memorable romance that I can recall off the top of my head didn't end with confessions and short epilogues, they often had that in the middle somewhere, and then developed it further. I don't really like the way the ones that end and resolve the 'conflict' with just a confession.

normal hare
#

Movie definitely won't be enough

#

There's just so much more potential to give this the satisfying ending the series deserves

boreal rover
#

final volume hasn't even been published, and plenty more to go internationally too, lots of merchandising opportunities if they do the next season within the next 12-18 months, can easily become a long-term classic.

gilded ember
#

they can do whatever they want they got infinite budget rn lol

gilded ember
normal hare
#

very wotakoi vibes with the side couple there too

gilded ember
#

i don't think they are a couple

normal hare
#

oh shit that episode of aobuta was peak ||so sara's puberty syndrome was that after getting rejected by her childhood friend, she started getting popular with all dudes, i assume as a coping mechanism to deal with the heartbreak, but as sakuta mentioned last week there's no point in being popular with a lot of people when the person you love doesn't love you the most, which is why this week when mai san explained that her love with sakuta was unbreakable, it got rid of her clairvoyance. Sakuta being the first person to reject her post-puberty syndrome probably spurred on some of her feelings as she tried to get with sakuta cause he was dating mai.||

#

||this was probably my favorite arc, really liked how they slowly fleshed out her issues||

#

||we also finally got more sakuta thirsting over mai's legs for old times sake, a peaceful date at last||

#

yeah no

#

||this is why shoko is the goat, changed his worldview completely||

gilded ember
#

||when sakuta was watching Himeji's pov just getting cooked by Mai that was cute and funny lol||

#

get that homewrecker outta here

gilded ember
#

||now we onto touko kirishima (?) arc next or should i say nene iwamizawa||

#

||the fact she gave sakuta a time limit on joining her for the livestream when she did all of this the first place is so sassy lmao||

i just don't have that brain capacity for slice of life in the anime medium unless it's like a short 6-8 minutes

always wondered why they dont finish drawing eyeglasses in anime

normal hare

i always assumed it was a fashion choice

#

some glasses do look like this in real life

#

like the more aesthetic ones

#

just makes their face look slightly less crowded imo

gilded ember
#

but they dont even have eyelashes

normal hare
#

why that matter

gilded ember
#

its not really crowded

normal hare
#

that's why i said slight less crowded

#

it's the minimal stuff

gilded ember
#

this dont even look crowded

normal hare
#

covering the eyes

#

is what i think

#

there do be some glasses like this in real life

#

just not as common

#

glasses do change how a person's face looks so they probably just want to show the whole eye still

I guess this is to fill in the blanks while still selling merch and volumes and hopefully add some original new content!

That's crazy you ain't even like halfway in 💀

i alr know what's gonna happen anyway

normal hare
#

Further proving my stance on staying away from the source material

#

Or at least needing a massive gap in time between reading and watching to the point you forget

gilded ember
#

nah i still watch most anime even if i know what's gonna happen, kaoru hana is just overhyped it's a fine story and im just following like all the followers out there

normal hare
#

Yeah it's just never gonna be the same experience as watching something without knowing

#

Disagree on the overhyped tho I don't think just cause it's popular it's overhyped

#

I only really feel that way about battle shounen stuff, just cause it's easier to maintain attention when you have crazy fight choreography and animation

#

Like kaoru hana has beautiful animation but it's more like a supplement to the story and characters whereas smt like demon slayer has a pretty average story but amazing fights that carry it

normal hare

this is why the new generation getting into anime because of ones like demon slayer are so quickly disappointed with everything else

csm first season artstyle was very different from the manga, imo in a better way, but apparently for the next movie it's going back to the manga's style

it's really the shading, the eyes, the saturation, etc. that a lot of fans had problems with, but I really liked that style

#

anime should be improving on the manga after all

#

and CSM is pretty drab as a manga

#

look at kaoru hana anime going on right now, the art in the anime is very similar to the manga but a clear improvement

normal hare
#

yeah i thought the art was good but I didn't read

boreal rover
#

I haven't read the manga either really

#

but I have seen what some of the panels and overall visuals look like

#

I usually like to go back and read the manga for the parts that the anime has already covered

boreal rover
#

ufotable just likes to flex like that

#

they did it for fate series and it sent an already popular brand into the stratosphere

#

but they do the same even for mediocre stuff they've done, they have the process of drawing over 3D animation down to an art at this point

#

but it also means they're married into a series for a long time

#

and can't put that magic on other stuff

normal hare
#

most their series are kinda big, touken ranbu was another one, incredibly popular gacha game in japan

#

not sure about tales of zestiria

boreal rover
#

some of their earlier stuff that initially made them a name was the garden of sinners series of movies/shows

#

another example of them being tied up in a series for a long time

normal hare
#

garden of sinners is one of the weirdest bunce of sequels i've ever watched just cause everything is so out of order

#

i genuinely still have no idea what i watched today but it was cool

Oshi no peak is back

#

ohhhh shitttt aobuta's plot thickens big time i haven't been locked in in so long ||first we got kirishima touko singing the ed now we in the endgame, also sakuta's college friend actually has some relation with kirishima touko, really thought he was just there for comedic purposes but he actually has plot value now. Same thing applies to miori, really curious how she's gonna play into everything, she really feels like sakuta's other half and i don't think that's a coincidence.||

ebon thunder
#

giorno and ichika divorce

normal hare
#

everyone just be getting divorced

ebon thunder
#

this is why divorce is illegal here ||/s||

azure ravine
#

cool, lord of mysteries anime ended on book 1 pogseul

inland talon
#

Gachiakuta kinda boring?

#

Not exactly cuz of the plot, but the direction. How they pace the series just feels so slow for an anime with such a seemingly action pact series

boreal rover
#

not sure how much they'll skip though

#

ep11 ended around chapter 35, and there's like 95ish chapters

gilded ember
#

it be the most random shows that gets 2 cours man

normal hare
#

I will never get over asterisk war getting a sequel over chivalry of a failed knight

#

Literally two similar shows but the latter was just way better

boreal rover
#

same way witch watch was announced to have 25 episodes from the get-go or how many apothecary diaries episodes there were

#

it's a small studio with rookie crew and rookie VAs just trying their hands at something they won the right to animate

#

and are doing a decent enough job of it lol

#

although Satsuki (the blonde girl) VA is more or less carrying the show at this point lol

sullen pine
normal hare
#

Relatable

#

Had 2 shinobu cosplayers near me felt bad for them

silk bridge
#

finally watching training arc this week so i can watch the movie in cinema on thursday

normal hare
#

Yeaaaah let's go

#

Just a heads up training arc is pretty slow to build up for the final arc

silk bridge
#

yeah its why i put it off for so long

#

ive read the manga so i know whats coming but the training arc is eggwail

#

half way through currently

#

for some reason tanjiro is so much more annoying

#

how far through does this movie go? because we're getting a trilogy right?

normal hare
normal hare
#

||so I'm assuming movie 2 will be upper 2 and 1 then the final will be muzan||

silk bridge
#

okok nice

silk bridge
normal hare
gilded ember
normal hare
#

oh sweet

#

gonna catch up on that and silent witch tonight

austere skiff
#

demon slayer ||i always really liked shinobu's justification for dying, but i never liked the fact that she died it felt a bit random. when i was reading i felt like the series ended out of nowhere||

#

||its like how he kills half of the cool demons at the start for some reason||

normal hare
#

||the lower moon demons were just so laughably weak compared to the hashiras so there really wasn't much purpose to them, our protagonists were already becoming much more stronger than them||

#

||I guess shinobu's death does feel a bit brushed over just cause it's at the start and the rest of the movie only continues to accelerate||

austere skiff
#

havent watched the movie, i read it

normal hare
#

||the movie had 3 segments, shinobu vs douma, zenitsu vs upper 6, and then akaza vs giyu and tanjiro but I felt they all had a good amount of focus||

vale bloom
#

something happened to comick ChaewonNervous

#

we'll just have to wait to get back up

normal hare
#

Just use another source there's so many

vale bloom
#

yep gonna have to go to the source instead

gilded ember
#

confirmed comick is shut down

#

damn man i had every manga on comick

#

i think it must be bcuz of the manhwas

normal hare
#

mangadex is still fine for some manga, i use mangapark mostly

#

i use bato for a lot of my otome isekai stuff

#

just good to always have a decent amount of alternatives

gilded ember
#

its so annoying to have multiple sites for me atleast

normal hare
#

also yeah it's on mihon so navigating through all of them isn't too hard

#

yeah i'm used to it we've lost so many in the past decade

#

mangarock my ogs

gilded ember
#

i first thought its something to do with switching to another device but i do hope they add that soon

normal hare
#

you can just create a backup

gilded ember
#

can that include my history also cuz i dont have everything pinned

normal hare
#

looks like it

vale bloom
#

guess ill try suwayomi yeojinshrug

#

what's so good with comick was the comments and the new trending mangas oldge

#

almost every week i read something new

#

this is like getting sick and you have one nostril clogged up, thinking "i've taken my breathing for granted" type of thing

#

this website has been such a natural routine for everyday to visit oldge

boreal rover
#

it was a surprisingly good dark fantasy for this season

silk bridge
#

alright

#

I dont care if he redeems it in the end

#

zenitsu is the most annoying anime character of all time

#

the amount of comedic relief is ridiculous in this arc

boreal rover
#

after so many years of publishers fighting readers (and in other fields like music and movies and such too) there's always alternatives

gilded ember
#

this is about bowling btw

normal hare
normal hare
#

starting summer pockets w my friend, time to cry

boreal rover
#

the main non-profit is down since ~18 days ago yeah, but they've been downed before and rose back up

#

LG+ mirrors WITH ADBLOCK are more or less identical to main libgen

#

yeah there's active fights between publishers and these shadow libraries

#

they even went after archive.org with some serious ammunition

#

and then there's anthropic

#

for the time being most of these sites like batoto, mangapark, mangabuddy, manganato, mangafire, allmanga, etc. should be good

#

and there's cubari reader for them

#

cubari is the project that guya.moe made, turned their reader more accessible and not kaguya exclusive lol

#

that's one way too yeah

#

and learning how to read moonrunes and downloading/buying raws will be the final solution

normal hare
#

Mangapark and bato been serving me good for a year+ now, pretty much covers all my stuff

gilded ember
#

this girl is going to be a waifu contender i can already feel it

Damn amnesia

#

These stories always make me so sad

gilded ember
#

sometimes its best to forget about the past aint it

normal hare
#

to an extent

#

but your memories essentially make you who you are, serves as an anchor to the world

gilded ember
#

for me id rather think about it as a reset in life

normal hare
#

yeah the only thing is, the person experiencing the reset probably isn't you

#

it's another version of you, so you're essentially dead wonkekw

Reincarnated as a vending machine is getting a 3rd season

#

Japan will do anything but give No Game No Life a 2nd season

azure ravine
#

oh nice still meaning to watch 2nd

gilded ember
#

W SHOW CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2

normal hare
#

can't believe the summer shows are ending already

gilded ember
#

this is my lineup for next season

normal hare
#

probably something like this for me

#

honestly the only real two i'm excited in ramune and the android girl

#

the rest are just if it's good maybe i'll keep on goin

gilded ember
#

we did just come out from one of the best seasons tho so the fall off is justified

boreal rover
#

I only have the towa/android girl show from pa works and spy x family on my watchlist for fall

#

the rest of them just don't really appeal to me in a "follow weekly" way

#

I'll probably be too busy at work next few months anyway but if time permits, I'll follow my 'no drop' rule and finish any anime from the past few years that I have only watched a few episodes of

#

there are still some summer stuff that'll continue into fall that I'll likely continue watching though

normal hare
#

Honestly I think 2-4 is a pretty good amount for weekly following

#

The rest can just be watched after depending on how people rate it

boreal rover
#

this summer was just a complete anomaly that's all lol

#

just gotta wait for anything good to end for the season and then binge it during holidays

normal hare
#

Even with all the stuff I only really stuck with the big 3 to the end

#

Silent witch mikadono and clevatess I'll finish soon enough but it's been awhile since I followed those weekly

boreal rover
#

big 3, watari-kun, call of the night, clevatess, mikadono, 7th prince, and silent witch are the ones I stuck with weekly more or less, give or take a week delay here and there. rest of them that I watched 1-3 ep of I'll finish up slowly during the fall

#

I usually only do 2-3 per season at most, but it was a fun summer

gilded ember
#

imma watch it weekly becuz if i dont ill lose interest on it in turn just drop it so everyone got their preferences

normal hare
#

Yeah I just gotta really find the right time and headspace where I can relax and watch

#

I usually prefer watching at night nowadays so just not enough time

boreal rover
#

that's another one that really should be binged rather than followed weekly

normal hare
#

Tune in to the midnight heart chapter 90, the goat just keeps getting goatier

gilded ember
normal hare
#

Wha I never said said

#

I've always been following

gilded ember
#

you said you would stop reading since the anime is coming out soon

normal hare
#

I don't remember saying that, I remember posting about it a few months ago

#

I think the thing about blue box and mayonaka heart tune is that I'm so far ahead in the manga that the anime feels fresh

normal hare
#

I did stop reading for a long time but started again cause you told me the drama was back wonkekw

gilded ember
#

see

normal hare
boreal rover
#

clevatess last two episodes should really be watched back to back for maximum effect

#

one of the best anime this season, a real surprise

#

solid from beginning to the end

normal hare
#

Planning to binge the rest soon I been patiently hitting

#

The slave's backstory made me super depressed

boreal rover
#

it is proper dark fantasy, doesn't really sugarcoat things

#

but yeah that bandit camp was dark stuff

normal hare
#

Really didn't expect that initially, after the first minute or so I was like oh that's uh a lot of blood

boreal rover
#

for the right audience, that was one hell of a first episode to hook them in

#

I have never touched the manga for this so going in blind was a nice experience

normal hare
boreal rover
#

it's just a short movie?

#

well it's a start I suppose

normal hare
boreal rover
#

makes sense, at least he got full creative control over it

#

gojo (wakana) va for the male lead

silk bridge
#

tickets booked for infinity castle catJAM

#

caught up with training arc last night

#

that ||explosion|| was the most well animated thing ive ever seem

normal hare
#

hell yeah have fun

#

don't make the same mistake i did drinking a ton before the movie

#

it's a long 2 hours

ebon thunder
normal hare
#

it takes being best girl to become best boy

rustic lynx
ebon thunder
#

Oof dandadan last episode tomorrow...

#

(of season 2)

normal hare
#

i can finally binge all of that and s1 too, time to see what the hype's all about

#

bro i can't unhear marin lol this va is cursed for me

normal hare
boreal rover
#

season 3 of isekai quartet already airing, tanya at the very forefront

#

still no season 2 lol

azure ravine
#

reminds me i never actually checked what new shows this season has.
OPMs3 holy that is late

boreal rover
#

season 2 was so ill received, they waited this long for a season 3

#

and it's not boding well for it given some of the comments from the director and staff

azure ravine
#

eh, from a quick rough look think i skip this whole season. ill see how ppl react to the various things before deciding if there is anything to try

boreal rover
#

there's one potentially good thing coming and that's pa work's new original

#

called towa something

#

and spy x family new season

azure ravine
#

towa no yuugure?

boreal rover
#

yeah that's it

azure ravine
#

sadly i don't watch romance

boreal rover
#

it's more sci fi than romance but yeah

#

everything else good aside from typical isekai and romance and school slice of life slop is probably going to be winter 2026-spring 2026

azure ravine
#

loved spy x family s1, but never watched s2. think just 1 season of that was enough to me

boreal rover
#

s2 was surprisingly good

#

and the filler movie was also good

azure ravine
#

heard it was great yeah

boreal rover
#

but yeah overall pretty low density fall season

#

compared to the rest of 2025

azure ravine
#

MAL looks different, why am i logged in on some random id

#

cantt find the logout button

#

okay im in

#

only finished lords of mysteries and will finish private tutor to the duke's daughter when that last ep comes out from summer season, but there are still a few i wished to watch/try out eventually from it

silk bridge
#

so cool

rustic lynx
boreal rover
#

race tracks and bookies somehow psyoping millennials and zoomers into betting on horses and playing gatcha around horses is truly a genius move and something devilish

normal hare
#

It's been awhile since I've seen a franchise get sequels so quickly

#

Probs demon slayer

normal hare
ebon thunder
#

For MHA every end of season ends with "to be continued in next season"

normal hare
#

Mha is on a different level tho

#

It's the naruto of this generation

ebon thunder
#

Fair

normal hare
#

So it's not wild to assume it'll keep going

#

I didn't expect dandadan to hit off so well with the gp

#

Cause it was one of the more eccentric shounen jump series

ebon thunder
#

Meanwhile csm's taking years

#

And before a season 2 we're getting a movie (that's also following the story arc)

rustic lynx
#

The MyGo x Ave Mujica collab was so peak, they had to make a movie out of it

#

Also pretty sick cover photo

gilded ember
normal hare
#

oh hell yeah more gate

#

new cast of characters too

rustic lynx
#

HELL YEAH NAVAL BATTLES HuTaoLETSGO

#

We boutta got Triremes vs a fucking Japanese missile cruiser like it's a fucking Civilization game

#

Or the entire show could take place in an attack submarine (top left)

gilded ember
rustic lynx
#

Close enough, welcome back Nino Nakano

gilded ember
#

nino becomes alcoholic bcuz she lost

#

now she hates the opposite gender so she decides to date within her own gender

normal hare
#

missed out big fam

ebon thunder
#

tfw the only weeb in the family chuufist

gilded ember
normal hare
#

it's just going to the movie once lol i'm not asking someone to splurge like $100

#

i go to the cinemas maybe like 2 or 3 times in one year

normal hare
#

yeah i don't think it's a crazy extra expense especially if it's not a frequent thing

#

highly recommend, i've seen my share fair of anime films online vs cinemas and it's just night and day

#

that's also if you have anything you're ever interested in lol

#

not crazy, i think a good chunk of it died out for people post covid

#

and only really starting to comeback in recent years

ebon thunder
#

come to think of it i've never watched an anime film in cinemas

normal hare
#

oh yeah same i've only watched anime films + into the spiderverse (another animated film) lol

#

besides that i don't really care for movies

normal hare
normal hare
#

Pretty good for how csm was received in japan

gilded ember
#

holy shit chapter 218 is gonna be the next ep lmfao

normal hare
#

just got through ep 5 & 6 of silent witch, that was kinda rough'

#

I understand the direction they were going with, trying to showcase her social growth but man these side characters

#

are just not very interesting so the execution just doesn't really hit

#

also animation looks a bit rough

gilded ember
#

wait lemme recall ep 5&6 cuz that was already a month ago lmao

normal hare
#

it's the horse riding and tea party/dancing eps

gilded ember
#

oh damn ur still there

normal hare
#

yeah i'm a bit slow, tryna catch up

#

i think another thing is also like it was just 2 eps of straight up just chilling, which i'm somewhat ok with if there's at least some development of the original plotline of protecting the prince

#

a good balance between the two would've been nice

gilded ember
#

dw ep 7 will pick up everything that was my fav ep so far

normal hare
#

bet

#

on the bright side i am loving her growth a lot

gilded ember
#

you will be shocked what happens

#

in that ep

normal hare
#

I feel like I'll have a similar experience to what I had with wistoria, promising start, mediocre middle, and then become amazing towards the 2nd half

gilded ember
#

my fav character is the maid shes unintentionally funny

gilded ember
normal hare
#

The two student council boys are also pretty bland

#

I feel like they're pushing her chemistry with blue hair pretty boy but I'm not feeling it

gilded ember
#

ok i get the boys cuz they do look like forced but i mean the antagonist trope will always be there and the girls are doing it well idk what to say more

#

actually i can say the blue haired guy will do something nice in a later ep so just wait

normal hare
#

I don't dislike them or anything, it's just like they're just there

#

Not feeling a strong connection between Monica and em

#

The sage dude that put her on the mission and her cat got the best chemistry

boreal rover
#

that's a great illustration though

normal hare
#

We love the sibling bond

austere skiff
#

expecting it to be watchable within 3 months is unreasonable

#

japan living like its still 2014

#

dont they know disney said direct to tv is king

normal hare
#

Now I know how to get prime to fold, strap him to a chair and watch all seasons

rustic lynx
#

This is gonna be the next One Piece, except One Piece is actually good

normal hare
#

Nah rag has more drama than one piece

rustic lynx
#

I haven't watched a single episode of One Piece so I can neither confirm nor disprove that statement

#

There's an anime called Sazae-san which premiered all the way back in 1969 and it's still going

#

My dad was 5-years old when it started 😭

gilded ember
normal hare
#

makes sense that it's ending

#

they've kinda dragged (in a good way) as much as they could

gilded ember
#

never thought about it but this is literally just love is war but less stakes

normal hare
#

yeah that's a pretty accurate description

#

and the wholesome moments are a lot more frequent

normal hare
normal hare
#

Oh lawd

finally the next mahouka story? pogseul

normal hare

yeah a movie for the yotsuba succession

azure ravine
#

nice, that was a good story arc

gilded ember
#

nice that was a good watch, the plot and animation got better 👍

normal hare
#

Garnt's anime just premiered, imma catch it tmr I'm way too tired

austere skiff
#

link if you need it

#

was good

#

i reccommend the jp dub if youre like me and cant unhear sydney oliviakek

#

im sure she did good though

boreal rover
normal hare
normal hare
boreal rover
#

promising director name and studios

gilded ember
#

just watched baan and yea i thought it was too short to tell a story

gilded ember
normal hare
#

it's a basically a retelling of his personal story so i don't think a lot of people who haven't moved away from home for a lot of their life will be able to connect to in such a short amount of time, it was a solid watch, that ost was crazy

#

lmao called it @boreal rover

boreal rover
#

hahahaha indeed

#

that's pretty much what we expected given they are ending it with volume 13

#

I hope they go all out for the final movie and make it at least 2 hours with better animation
I'm surprised they committed to finishing all 15 volumes honestly despite how long it has taken (and the availability of the previous movies for those who were interested after S1)

#

also looks like cloverworks expects this to be the end of anime adaptations for bisque doll

normal hare
#

do they? i think it would be a massive letdown not to animate the final arc and confession

#

if anything i wouldn't be surprised if they gave this a year or two before returning to it like they did before

boreal rover
#

it's just they do something with the end of the coffin arc that would make retconning a bit weird for a third season and/or movie finale

#

and a lot of the post airing stuff like artwork and tweets and such make it seem more "final" than it would have been if they had even an inkling of a third season/sequel of some kind

normal hare
#

i think they're just unsure whether they're gonna continue with it for now

#

possibly down the line it may open up again

boreal rover
#

kind of disappointed, but wouldn't be surprised if they do in fact announce a sequel at some point in the future, they definitely milk the merch for this series and the volumes are still selling a lot

#

compared to something like nagatoro

normal hare
#

i will always have faith in money

boreal rover
#

it's a bit out of character that's all

#

but easy enough to resolve if they do go ahead with a sequel

normal hare
#

||oh yeah i'm aware of that part, i don't really mind this route she goes, the reasoning is pretty valid to me, I just think if they for sure wanted to end the story they definitely would've ended on a confession||

boreal rover
#

that's true

#

here's hoping I guess 😄

normal hare
#

||we already got teased with the confession last episode, and then they did it again, if i'm an anime only watcher i'm heated lmao||

#

i'm hopeful, it's a popular ass series

#

i don't mind waiting a couple of years

boreal rover
#

I really enjoyed this season despite lower ecchi and less interesting overall plot, the animation really went way above and beyond, kudos cloverworks.

#

it vastly improved on the manga imo

#

which is how anime should be

funnily enough i enjoyed this a lot more than s1, i just enjoyed seeing more of their interactions with their classmates, and the new side character additions were fantastic

#

i remember dropping s1 at one point

boreal rover
#

yeah school arc was fantastic

normal hare
#

so i was super surprised when s2 blew me out of the water

#

cause i was never really the biggest fan

boreal rover
#

it was what I looked forward to every saturday, was fun

normal hare
#

1 more of week of aobuta and then kaoru hana why

boreal rover
#

yeah it's pretty long, 15 total volumes, and honestly the anime really cuts down on the heavy dialogue of the LN

normal hare
#

i'm not ready to let aobuta go yet, been such a big part of my life over the past half decade or so

boreal rover
#

one more movie, and then I'll watch it from the start to end again 😄

normal hare
#

i probably gots to go over to the novel and just read everything from the start as an anime only

boreal rover
#

it's one of the best, even if animation budget was always on the low side

normal hare
#

that's the great thing about this show

boreal rover
#

yeah don't touch LN until anime movie finale

normal hare
#

the whole episode could literally just be sakuta and mai bantering for 24 minutes and i'd be sold

#

the dialogue is just unlike any i've seen before

boreal rover
#

nothing really compares to the way the dialogue is done in the anime

#

and the LN is somehow even better if you can believe it

#

but not by much

normal hare
#

sounds pretty believable i usually love the dialogue a lot more in novels

boreal rover
#

just more of it lol

#

anime should show more than tell but with LN dialogue is their bread and butter after all lol

#

shaft is just better at showing than telling

normal hare
#

i was initally scared that my expectations were way too high for this 2nd season cause the zukki arc was kinda average, but once we got past that part it went back to the same old show i remembered and loved

boreal rover
#

yeah zukki arc is weakest because ... well her problem isn't that much of a problem 😄

normal hare
#

a little appetizer

boreal rover
#

still a cute arc with good dialogue

normal hare
#

the sara arc was great

#

i was always say this but we really gotta have more series depict characters getting older and having a change of scenery

#

seeing these guys in college was such a blast

#

i love my timeskips

boreal rover
#

yeah small timeskips like this especially for school focused romantic comedy/thriller/mystery drama stuff should be more common

#

ain't nobody has their lives figured out in high school

#

so many of these end in high school and "then they lived happily ever after"

#

yeah right lol

normal hare
normal hare
boreal rover
#

like I'd believe it in case of miyuki and kaguya, sure, some people just built different, but in most cases, they're gonna break up by their mid 20's smh

normal hare
#

that's why i've been enjoying this manga trope i've seen occasionally of exes reuniting as adults and getting to know each other again

#

just not something you see often

#

but i'd love to see more stories like that

boreal rover
#

there's a web comic manhwa out called mia has returned that has that vibe

#

extremely trope-y but you know

#

that's typical lol

normal hare
#

yeah i was the one that shared that here 😭

boreal rover
#

oh yeah 😄

#

I kept up with it lol

normal hare
#

bro forgot about our convo pensivesad

#

but yeah

#

more stuff like that

boreal rover
#

hahahaha sorry sorry

normal hare
#

it's the lovers to enemies to lovers

#

just scratches that right itch

#

my stepsister is my ex-girlfriend also executes that one pretty well

#

although it's just from middle to highschool

#

still a guilty pleasure of mine

boreal rover
#

yeah that one's good

normal hare

MangaDex

Having to deal with his abusive boss day after day while working an exploitative job, Yamase Fuyu has become tired of it all... Until one day he accidentally runs into Minase Ito, his ex-girlfriend from university.

The sudden reunion lifts Fuyu's spirits, who wastes no time inviting Ito to chat over drinks. The two have a whale of a time shari...

#

probably just gotta read the novel

gilded ember
normal hare
#

ikumi and sara were interchangeable for me i really liked both

#

aggressive kouhai trope just never gets old

#

also the conclusion was probably my favorite one

#

mai just flexing their relationship all over her

#

i like it

normal hare
#

one thing i like about this is that we're so used to the accidental confession not be being heard

#

so the fact that she actually hears it is just refreshing

#

art by the mangaka

inland talon
#

Idk if I should give my honest opinion

normal hare
#

I mean if it didn't resonate with you that's fine, it's a pretty unique experience

boreal rover
#

I was watching the ikumi episodes of aobuta ... and they completely just ignored how ||the other ikumi was sending messages huh|| well probably for the best lol.

normal hare
#

Wdym? I've forgotten some of what happened cause it was awhile ago, ||weren't both ikumis just capable of sending messages to each other?||

boreal rover
#

it's not a major thing, just changes how you might view ikumi from the original world as a character

normal hare
#

Okok that's all good imma just find out when I read the novel soon thanks

boreal rover
#

good good

normal hare
#

I'm probably gonna rewatch s1 again just cause I don't remember much then start from the beginning of the novel

boreal rover
#

I hope you find a good translation of it, it's been a while since I've read light novels in general and don't really remember where to find good translations anymore, official or not.

normal hare
#

Usually not too hard to find good translations especially for a series this popular, if jnovels isn't good enough I can scavenge through the subreddit or discord group

boreal rover
#

official translation of volume 15 is coming out next year january in english

#

1-14 has official english releases already

#

and I wasn't aware, but there's an additional new volume sort of as an epilogue that just came out this summer

#

"Rascal Does Not Dream of Beach Queen"

#

interesting

normal hare
#

The bulk downloads sometimes be missing a few

#

I remember I used to follow the mahouka fansub spreadsheet and checked in every week to see if they had translated another chapter

#

Fun times

#

Stuff just gets translated so much more quickly nowadays

#

Yeah I'm just usually caught up on stuff unless I'm going back and rereading

#

I would say it depends, for cote for example I used to check in occasionally to jnovels for any updates cause I just couldn't be bothered to go searching for it, translations be all over the place and sometimes some drop them and then I have to look for another

gilded ember
#

ngl language diff, get ur kanji levels up

normal hare
#

Yeah translation teams change a lot over the years

#

Especially for smaller series

#

And sometimes they just get dropped altogether

normal hare
#

I'd rather wait forever than read a cleaned up version of an mtl

#

There are so many people that do that

gilded ember
#

bubba that is also happening in makeine, volume 8 hasnt been translated yet also its been 4 months

normal hare
#

4 months since release?

gilded ember
#

ye

normal hare
#

I've waited a year to 2 for translations this is nothing

#

It's so incredibly difficult to translate from jp to eng

#

Especially for a series like makeine

#

Where the dialogue

#

Does some massive heavy lifting

#

If not done well a lot of it just doesn't hit the same and you lose some of the original messaging

#

Give yen press a decade they'll catch up eventually

gilded ember
normal hare
#

Everyday sentence and translating novels are very different things lol

#

Yeah you have to make sure it's conveyed properly

#

Things can easily get lost in translation

#

Just like how for a lot of comedy it's just 100% funnier in the original language

#

No matter how good you translate it

#

There's just no 1:1 translation for certain things

#

but yeah at the end of the day just learn the language, how will i find time you ask, i have no idea

#

my life is already so full with real life things and then hobbies on top of that that it would require some serious restructuring to

#

be able to achieve that

#

i was able to learn korean again for awhile back then but i was still in uni so i had sem breaks lol

#

you just gotta be super committed

#

learning a language is a big task so you'd need to

#

invest a lot of time

#

at the expense of other things

#

to me, if you can communicate in the language, good enough

#

i know plenty of friends who can speak chinese fluently but struggle to write just cause the system is overly complicated lmao

#

it's traumatizing

#

i have genuinely shed tears over this as a child

#

people have stories of suffering from doing math as a kid, for me it was learning mandarin

#

see the problem is i grew up overseas

#

since i was 3

#

and i only came back when i was 12

#

basically that kid that's always constantly moving so they never truly have a "home"

#

a solid and perfect one

#

my french was actually getting pretty good like 7 years ago

#

but i dropped it cause i stopped having classes

#

but was fairly confident that if i continued i'd be pretty fluent

#

when it comes to chinese and malay it's all basic understanding

#

with korean as well i learned that for bit but it's mainly just reading and understanding basic sentences

#

essentially the same

#

i just don't know what i'd do with that language halfway across the world

#

so japanese always felt like a goal that would be easier to strive for since i consume that medium

#

hard to learn a langauge when you have no external motivators

inland talon
#

A lot happened within 30 something minutes

normal hare
#

so it's pretty much a telling of garnt's personal story

inland talon
#

It all just seemed quick and plot a little convoluted.

#

I think the goal was more for the vibes, and the vibes were nice

normal hare
#

i can kinda understand the convoluted part because they do kinda go back and forth to the present and the past

#

but besides that it was pretty straightforward

inland talon
#

Yep

normal hare
#

the girl's dad going on his own journey to euthania

inland talon
#

I was like wait… so she’s older now? And why does she have wings?

normal hare
#

and then later on in the future the girl having the same experiences

normal hare
#

you know when the dude and girl get into that weird tube

#

that transports them

#

it's a link between earth and euthania (other world)

#

so the guy at the start is travelling from earth to euthania

#

cause he wants to have his own experiences of travelling the world

#

the plot is essentially guy travels to euthania --> he encounters the girl as her family is getting killed --> he adopts her --> she travels to earth to experience new things

inland talon
#

I think to put this much plot under 40 minutes was already a big task. Big props to Garnt for getting it done. All I can say it seems like a lot was cut.. like a lot. So if anything I guess I’m just excited what ideas he has in the future.

#

Again… the vibes are nice

#

Vibe was immaculate

normal hare
#

oh yeah garnt mentioned that this short was not even a fraction of the whole story

normal hare
normal hare
#

for what he had to work with, i think he got the message of home and experiencing life pretty well

#

it also helps enormously if you can personally relate to it

#

or else it just ends up being a vibes show

inland talon
#

All I can say is that, the Twitter haters were wrong. But also the trash taste gigguk fans seem to say this was the best piece of art

#

It’s neither

#

It’s aight

normal hare
#

the best comparison i can give this show is shelter and even that was able to resonate with a lot of ppl

inland talon
#

Good stuff for a first time director

#

It’s a good first try

normal hare

noo this got delayed? there's alot of shows getting delayed man

Harem really runs the world

boreal rover
#

anime season looks like it'll end on volume 3, hinting at volume 4?

#

volume 4 is technically the end of "season 1" of the light novel, so that's actually more than most yuri series get with a proper conclusion to at least one whole segment of the story

rustic lynx
boreal rover
#

the fact that they are hinting it'll be released this year just means they already were working on it alongside the season and were just constrained by the 12-13 ep cours system

There's problaby gonna be some caveat to it like how she doesn't really like her boyfriend, she's lying, or he's treating her poorly

gilded ember
#

you know what the common denominator is with these girls, they all like the teasing aspect

normal hare
#

God forbid a girlie wants to have a little fun

boreal rover
#

somehow finds its way into completely unexpected and unwanted places regularly

normal hare
#

They usually only tease it in non 18+ stuff

boreal rover
#

the teasing is giving a lot of fanbases PTSD lol

#

sometimes it's done just to add unnecessary momentary drama to a story 😄

#

there are a lot of different ways to add tension than teasing NTR in a romance series

#

anyway, just finished Call of the Night s2, absolutely great, definitely recommended

Wait if mamoru miyano isn't gyro then he might be funny valentine

#

finally time to watch infinity castle

inland talon
#

I’m beginning to not like Gachiakuta

#

I think I’ll read the manga instead

#

Also wtf is going on? Why is everyone hating on the anime man all of a sudden?

normal hare
#

everyone is probably a stretch i've not seen anything about that

#

people who crave attention and are just looking to instigate will always do this

#

so it should just be ignored

silk bridge
#

LETS GOOOOOOO

#

Infinity castle was sick btw, but i did feel like it lasted like 4 hours

normal hare
#

it's just nonstop action that you're left bamboozled

silk bridge
#

yep

#

also it was maybe the loudest movie ive seen

#

either that or i forgot how loud cinemas are because i havent been in ages

normal hare
#

did you go for imax?

silk bridge
#

nah just a regular screening

#

my local cinema doesnt have an imax screen

probably you just haven't been in awhile
