there's a dangers in my heart movie coming out soon too apparently a summary of first two seasons with new stuff after
probably build up for another season since the manga has progressed enough
there's that netflix musical modern kaguya-hime
medalist s2
there's that death game maids anime I've been looking forward to as well
Shibou yuugi de meshi wo kuu
of course a plethora of isekai and tensei and villainess and such too
gilded ember
ill prob watch this it looks fun

late comet
Concept sounds interesting
boreal rover
I'm probably gonna finish backlog stuff before jumping on anything new though
I think this will be the season's trashy pseudo-harem school romance
every season needs at least 1-2 of these
mayonaka is too wholesome for it to be trashy harem school romance
even though it IS a harem school romance lol
gilded ember
im out of my trash harem phase man
gilded ember
ntm man harem is actually peak if done right
late comet
Big if :^)
gilded ember
yea its a select few but ey man its hard to create such a bizzare theme
boreal rover
people call anything with a few love interests harem nowadays anyway, even SAO is known as a harem despite kirito never wavering on his waifu
and I feel like 5-toubun totally distorted haremspace lol
a lot of harems that were ongoing or came after that seem to follow very similar plot progression now
rustic lynx
ntm man harem is actually peak if done right
Watanare set the bar too high
boreal rover
I'm more so looking forward to spring anime
lots of good stuff that have been cooking in manga form for years coming then
this is the one visually I'm most looking forward to this season
as far as new properties go rather than sequels
gilded ember
people call anything with a few love interests harem nowadays anyway, even SAO i...
which is stupid cuz they had no fighting chance of getting together anyway, they should've followed the cafe terrace formula
boreal rover
goddess cafe terrace was a good manga
but there was never any clear indication of which direction it was going with respect to the love interest ending
the winner basically was a dice roll
late comet
I'm pretty interested in Cosmic Princess Kaguya, it looks fun
boreal rover
even the author had trouble justifying it in the final two chapters lol
boreal rover
I'm pretty interested in Cosmic Princess Kaguya, it looks fun
yeah visually and musically that seems really fun
also has one of my favorite underrated VAs as the kaguya voice actress
late comet
It also has World is Mine so it's instantly the most peak shit ever
gilded ember
even the author had trouble justifying it in the final two chapters lol
oh im not talking about the ending, just how the author made the harem in general like everyone had a chance
boreal rover
right, yeah
it has good story progression
I've never been a fan of time-skip quick endings and epilogues but overall was a fun journey
2.5D seduction was also good in that regard
late comet
Time skips kinda suck if they're not implemented well. Just feels like a lazy way to progress the story otherwise
gilded ember
time skip stuff is good whenever the couple is already established as together
late comet
I think my favorite implementations of time skips are probably in Gurren Lagann, Your Name, and The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes
gilded ember
ngl i didnt get the your name timeskip at all lol
late comet
They already showed throughout the movie how they so desperately want to try and find each other and how it just keeps not working, and then just having years go by of them not finding whatever it is they need in life and forgetting why they feel so empty only impacts the closure more I feel like
gilded ember
||the part i didnt was how were they on the same timeline and how they survived||
late comet
I should maybe check out what else the author of The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes has written. Quite liked that movie so I assume the light novel is good as well 
late comet
||the part i didnt was how were they on the same timeline and how they survived|...
||Broski went to the mountain, drank the rice wine or whatever that Mitsuha made, went Avatar mode and traveled into the spirit realm, they swap bodies again and are on top of the mountain. They are able to actually meet because of the borders between worlds being blurry during that time or something. Taki explains everything that's about to happen and what Mitsuha needs to do in order to save the town||
From what I can remember, it's been a long time since I watched / read / whatever it
late comet
I should maybe check out what else the author of The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit ...
Hm, it seems he also wrote The Mimosa Confessions which is apparently really good, or so people say
Sounds nice
gilded ember
||Broski went to the mountain, drank the rice wine or whatever that Mitsuha made...
oh yea i dead forgot abt that mb lmao
normal hare
Trying her best in this tough world
normal hare
well i have 3 days to binge love live nijigasaki cause i got free tickets from a friend to watch the movie this saturday
normal hare
rustic lynx
Then after that, watch Love Live Sunshine
Basically, the chronological order is Original>Sunshine>Nijigasaki>Superstar
- the movies
normal hare
i'll treat it like fate and watch the sequels first 
cause ain't no way i'm finish all dat in 3 days
even prime me wouldn't be able to do that
rustic lynx
treat it like Fate
Nah, Star Wars
rustic lynx
Only Fate I watched is Prisma Iilya
normal hare
aintnoway an oldhead like you hasn't watched fate stay night
that was like the thing in the early to mid 2010s
rustic lynx
Like the average person, I got turned away because of how complicated the watch order is
The same way I haven't watched a single second of One Piece because of how long it is
normal hare
the complicated watch order really be a myth that people perpetuate and it's hurt the franchise lmao
there really are only like
3 things you actually need to watch
fate zero
fate stay night ubw
fate heavne's feel trilogy
the other stuff like fgo, fate strange fake, etc. are just all spinoffs
normal hare
bro why do these girl's school look like a damn airport/shopping mall
runic finch
fate zero stay night ubw and heaven's feel are all epic
but i think zero is my fav
i had such a good time watching fate for the first time
normal hare
stay night is more shounen while zero has a more dark and layered feel to it which is why a lot of people like it the most
fair honestly
runic finch
maybe also bc i just like kiritsugu more than shirou
well not the only reason but one of them
stay night has the better fights tho for sure
how many times i've rewatched this
normal hare
maybe also bc i just like kiritsugu more than shirou
yeah kiritsugu is easily the more complex character even though shirou himself is fairly interesting
normal hare
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-vkgPwNN-g
the day rider completely changed her standing in the stay night series 🙏
had always felt it was such a shame she got cleaned up like a nobody in the other routes so this was just fantastic
normal hare
it was hilarious and also an oh shit moment when the strongest guy gets his shit fried
heaven's feel was just so cool to see how much a route could really diverge from the original plot
runic finch
yeah it's also kinda hilarious how he gets packed in heaven's feel when you compare to how he was in ubw lmao
ebon thunder
TIL aqours hanamaru's VA is married to an indian guy
rustic lynx
Yeah
gilded ember
@normal hare lets go it's out! but uhh definitely temper your expectations on the animation
normal hare
ngl i did kinda get lower budget expectations from the trailer
a shame but hey at least an adaptation
gilded ember
such a shame bro cuz u know the manga art is absolutely gorgeous
late comet
Surely it can't be as bad as wandance
normal hare
wandance actually looks decent outside of the dancing choreography
normal hare
such a shame bro cuz u know the manga art is absolutely gorgeous
yup
guess it's just not that big enough
gilded ember
i think they just rushed for an adaptation its too early for this
they would've gotten a better studio if they took time
but i think they did this also to capitalize the hype its been getting
late comet
wandance actually looks decent outside of the dancing choreography
Which is silly because dancing is the whole thing

mayonaka animation and art really leaves a lot to be desired...
also sentenced to be a hero, while it has good animation, the story is really ... ehhhhh
all the characters piss me off at this moment in the series, I have no previous exposure to the property though
boreal rover
mayonaka animation and art really leaves a lot to be desired...
at least with chitose is in the ramune bottle, they really got the character designs and animation down, good eyecandy watching that for a couple of episodes
the story and the characters are really questionably poor but at least it was/is pretty
normal hare
we just can't have nice things in this world
was supposed to be the quintuplets of this era
gilded ember
yea mate its hardd flopping in japan rn
https://fixupx.com/11052ag/status/2008576629602480143/en
didnt quins change studio for s2 hopefully that would be the case in this series also
gilded ember
this is the loona hype man, apparently it was just overseas popular but not locally
normal hare
I will never understand what goes over in japan and what doesn't
This has everything you need to be popular
gilded ember
ey man you've been there recently so you tell me
normal hare
quintuplets still sells like hot cakes over there
I always felt mayonaka was on a similar frequency with that show that's why i thought it'd go over well

~~Everything I know about rent a gf is against my will, bro wdym we're in the yaoi route 💀 ~~ nvm it's apparently an edit

Halfway through nijigasaki, rina is so cute lol she reminds me of nanami from danganronpa with the hairstyle and both of them being gamers
rustic lynx
Funny fact: Bandori managers saw this move and banned it because the possibility of the strap snapping and sending a guitar flying was dangerous 
normal hare
Prime why is ayumu so gay for yu
rustic lynx
Cause it's not Love Live without some yuri sub-text
normal hare
feels very direct she just pushed yu down onto the bad 
but hey i guess that's what friends be doing nowadays
rustic lynx
OG Love Live has: Eli and Nozomi (they even have a duo song that's gay af: Garasu no Hanazono)
Sunshine has Riko and Chika
Nijigasaki has Ayumu and Yuu
Superstar has Sumire and Keke
What's gayer?
A.) Being gay
B.) Whatever these two have going on
normal hare
i remember seeing this clip years ago, it all makes sense now
also honestly the rest of the group is pretty gayge too there's ai and rina, karin and emma, shizuku and kasumi
not quite to the same level but it's still there
honestly pretty solid first season i enjoyed it a lot more than i expected
rustic lynx
Now watch Superstar next for Liyuu 
normal hare
i still have s2 to go and the movie
normal hare
Now watch Superstar next for Liyuu <:LiyuuApproves:865611457932689418>

He regret to not having ||Riho|| win. I get it
At least he has seen the light and is on the road to redemption

yeah it's so dogwater but i couldn't stop reading it
it was the kinda read where i was already too far in so might as well finish it
but it's kinda weird that i only read like 5 romance manga and one of them is domekano

the hotel arc was kinda peak tho ngl

) But it's gonna turn out that the girl he's looking for are multiple people isn't it?||
normal hare
prime watching a non yuri or band anime 😮
but yes ||the mystery of who the girl is is the whole story, welcome back nisekoi||
rustic lynx
Finished episode 1. Art style and animation isn't great but I don't really put much thought on it. 7/10 first episode 
gilded ember
read the manga man this finna be a mid adaptation
normal hare
not into vtubers much but i like suisei
damn this ai and karin stage was pretty banger
late comet
The only thing I know about suisei is her music
rustic lynx
I never really watched her streams but I did partake in her music
late comet
My vtuber knowledge is zero
rustic lynx
I mostly watched Coco since she speaks English while Suisei is JP
gilded ember
what's the difference between a vocaloid and a vtuber anyway
rustic lynx
what's the difference between a vocaloid and a vtuber anyway
Vocaloids are someone's voice that get synthesized and are mainly used for music
VTubers are basically just your regular live streamers but with an anime character as the face
gilded ember
rustic lynx
I only have 6 shows I'm interested in this season 
gilded ember
ur not watching the android yuri?
gilded ember
it was tagged as erotica thats why probably
rustic lynx
Oh yeah it's flagged as R18+ so it's hidden by default
That kinda sucks for viewer attraction
I didn't even realize it's hidden until you mentioned it
gilded ember
yea man ngl i was gonna watch it on the big screen but i don't think that's appropriate lmao
rustic lynx
I read the manga and yes, please don't watch it in your living room
If you think Citrus had too much say gex, you're gonna have a heart attack with this one
gilded ember
oh so like they really get into it is what ur saying
like chapter 44 of bloom into you type stuff
normal hare
the thing about chapter 44 of bloom into you it didn't feel so sexualized
was more of a ooohhhh that's spicy

its still seggs man why are we getting into the nitty-gritty by having certain qualifications 🤣
normal hare
its still seggs man why are we getting into the nitty-gritty by having certain q...
anime is art, it's meant to be analyzed
bloom into you is also a pretty deep and introspective show so it makes sense
it's why i rate it a lot higher than other yuri cause it feels more than just two girls cute yay, not to say there's anything wrong with those shows either
all that yappign to say, is that it just felt more emotional
runic finch
it's one of the few romance stories i could actually care about that's why i think it's good
it's just very well written
late comet
Huh what, 18+ yuri? Where
ebon thunder
it's just very well written
pls read gachiakuta bro it's so peak

idk i'm not really intrigued by it

You guys know this one?
The studio knew they were cooking something with this one so they made Ep1 nearly an hour long
9/10 first ep
normal hare
welcome back to the weekly experience
i'll get on the new season once i'm done binging love live
rustic lynx
That but also the whole episode was a wild ride and the ending really gives you a lot to think about
And that was just 1 episode. I felt like I watched an entire anime from the beginning to the climax in the span of 47 minutes
normal hare
1 hour premieres really are such a genius idea cause of the "3 episode rule"
rustic lynx
Also you gotta be really confident about the product you're putting out
It's a huge gamble especially with how hard it is to keep people's attention nowadays but when it hits, it hits
I remember Oshi no Ko having an hour long Episode 1 too
normal hare
it was
thing is
even if the first ep is a normal length
if that don't bring ppl in they'll drop it already
onk funnily enough, peaked in the premiere

i got scared mate but it was really good based on the halfway parts i watched

i stopped on that part ||where they got trapped in that saw thing||

Oh yeah, that's probably around midway through it
gilded ember
||when they were fighting for the keys lol||
rustic lynx
Did you finish that part?
gilded ember
nah i stopped there
rustic lynx
My lips are sealed then 
gilded ember
i dont want to see my cute girls ||dying for entertainment 😭 ||

Funnily enough, ||Yuuki mentioned something about that after the saw level||

i liked how they minimized the ||gore tho, no blood at all||
bro ive been seeing clips of chained soldier on my tl, totally forgot how horny that show is
gilded ember
maybe i should too, i like read the manga ages ago so i forgot stuff
gilded ember

lol I've been talking about this one here since it was first announced 😄
Champignon no Majo also looks like a winner for this season, ep1-2 out now
normal hare
i rmb you said you didn't like the direction or smt
boreal rover
the trailer did kind of seem off compared to the source, but I think the first 1-hour long episode actually did a really decent job of being an anime adaptation instead of just one to one copying manga/novel
normal hare
gilded ember
the person who directed the show actually also directed days with my stepsister and it did felt like it
boreal rover
that's kind of an insane pace for a binge, well done lol
also for the yuri enthusiasts here, the android yuri show is basically just hentai, not cute yuri slop
boreal rover
seems a bit quick, I doubt it was axed
just a dozen chapters to go but right now manga's in its melancholic phase...
gilded ember
s1 was an alright adaptation, hope passione steps it up
the cgi was really bad man its putting me off
gilded ember
they really tryna save frieren the best for last this season damn, its already halfway into the month

at least it'll end around a similar time as the rest of the shows

This is why birth rates around the globe are on a downward spiral

but holy crap this man is swimming in money and will never end this
even his other pseudo-incest harem is selling lots
normal hare
only good if it's blood related
boreal rover
hahaha
other than mahouka movie coming up, I can't think of any good blood related type thing coming up
even alya's next season is likely going to not have as much yuki, although doga kobo could play around with the plot lol
well there's one manga that might get an anime soon and it's blood related cousins romance
although that's not that controversial in Japan so I guess it's not taboo enough for those degenerates 
gilded ember
also for the yuri enthusiasts here, the android yuri show is basically just hent...

can we just ignore season 1 happened and have passione do season 1 too 😄
they really turned the erotica and ecchi to well beyond what the manga had wtf

Woof woof bark bark
Reminds me of quintuplets
I really did not like the s1 artstyle
But s2 was perfect

at least s1 didn't cover that much of the manga, so there's a silver lining there lol

madoka magica movie 4 too
not like i'll probably watch anything besides the gjntama movie but still wild
and i can only watch that in like 6 months anyway
also don't think the sbr adaptation will be good enough to make me watch it
i'd rather just reread the manga and i hate the netflix batch release model anyway
and i thought the beastars anime was already done lol

that was just a continuation like a part 2 basically cuz they didn't get to finish the last arc of that volume
normal hare
owhh
wouldn't be surprised if it got a s2
budget was pretty good
and it was well received
gilded ember
also why's there 2 cote nominations there
gilded ember
did they separate those 2?
normal hare
it just has so much global popularity
all the stores are just plastered with maomao everywhere
girls and guys both love it equally

jeez

and surprisingly can make each role sound unique

her nijika role def changed the game for her
boreal rover
her himari role almost killed her career lol
/joke
will check out first episode of this one
looked interesting in trailer and screenshots
gyarus are still in fashion I see
gilded ember
her himari role almost killed her career lol
lowkey true
boreal rover
himari not winning in the end in her own story as the MC is just poetic justice
I've surprised myself, I checked out a lot more first episodes this season than I thought I would
stuff looks INTERESTING
I don't know if I'll stick with them in the long run but lots of interesting and unique stuff this season
gilded ember
frieren is probably my last add for this season
oops chained soldier im still binging that btw
boreal rover
I honestly would have recommended reading manga chapter 1-50 instead
that's how poorly season 1 was done imo
also would recommend https://myanimelist.net/anime/61217/Yuusha_no_Kuzu
it's like a dark fantasy cyberpunk thing
somewhat remenicient of Demon Lord 2099
also same studio as sentenced to be a hero
Champignon Witch and SHIBOYUGI are the two more unique shows this season also
gilded ember
that's how poorly season 1 was done imo
its not that bad really plus i don't have the mood to read manga rn unless if its romance
boreal rover
fair lol
normal hare
yeah s1 wasn't really bad
but it was missing that oomph
luckily for me i read so i can just skip ahead
boreal rover
passione might have added a bit too much oomph to s2 lol, a bit of creative liberty there 😄

im almost caught up on one piece after reading the colored manga instead of watching it. I do plan to watch some of the hype moments through anime tho like ||gear 5||. A lot of stuff i got spoiled partially early ended up being not as hype as hoped but ||gear 5 was awesome||. I remember hearing something about sanji being ||lunarian|| but they didnt expand much on it. I got ||momo grown up part|| spoiled a little to and i imagined a lot crazier stuff than what happened. It was good tho ||Buggy becoming yonko|| was spoiled too but finding out how is pretty funny. Idk how i feel about ||Old villains resurfacing and seemingly being anti heros who wont get in luffys way now||.
Oda is a genius for a lot but sometimes reading it feels like someone is trying to tell a million stories at once and it can drag a tiny bit.
||Also i found doflamingo to be more intimidating and OP relatively compared to Kaido and Big Mom||. It doesnt make sense but just felt more desperation during that arc.
Oh also the big reveals were spoiled by theories to me a while back kinda so when they were talking about it plainly it felt like i was being spoonfed
also the anime is being dragged crazy even when i watch 1.5x speed. Like stuff thats explained by reading for 10 seconds takes like 2 mins in the anime.

also josei just isn't really as popular as the other demographics in general
bc there aren't many series people actually know
well i'd also say most anime/manga fans don't even really know that it exists lol
normal hare
among girls it's super popular but it just doesn't get pushed into the limelight like shounen does
something something patriarchy
we see series like fragrant flower blooms and blue box that have really towed the line between shounen and shoujo
that are like immensely popular with both genders
people just don't like change so i doubt we'll ever see any shoujo/josei getting pushed
runic finch
i mean yeah shoujo is big but there aren't really any "mainstream" josei manga
chihayafuru and wotakoi are like the only pretty popular ones
normal hare
yeah that's the whole argument, shounen just gets pushed onto the forefront so everyone just accepts that as the thing to watch/read
it's been that way for so long so people have kinda just accepted it
runic finch
the demographic doesn't really matter much to me personally just give me a story and characters i can care about
normal hare
I only say this cause i've seen some vids on it and read some interviews from mangakakas when they talk about what series to adapt
i also agree it shouldn't be a demographic thing
runic finch
just my interests are definitely way more represented in seinen and shounen
normal hare
if anything, stories like fragrant flowers bloom and apothecary diaries show that
a lot of interests are usually aligned
runic finch
yeah i also feel like fragrant flowers is the perfect example that fits into both shounen and shoujo demographic pretty well
normal hare
there will always be demographics but i think people are more open to stories that are not catered for them specifically
and the industry just
does not see that
so i doubt it'll ever change
runic finch
true
runic finch
the demographic doesn't really matter much to me personally just give me a story...
also why i find the "shounen vs seinen" arguments a bit unnecessary
bc i don't think it actually matters that much
runic finch
it's just a different way of story telling bc of the target audience it really isn't as deep as people make it out to be lol
normal hare
for me it's a mix of storytelling and themes
runic finch
i feel like in seinen there's way more character driven stories that actually focus more on the characters themselves
which i usually prefer
but my favorite anime and manga are both shonen so...
tbf beck is very character driven too
late comet
I don't really know what any of these terms mean
says the guy with like a dozen figurines

shonen is for teen boys
seinen is for adult boys
according to the str ict defintion

shounen - male teenagers
shoujo - female teenagers
seinen - male young adults
josei - female young adults

but i kinda gave up on inoue actually finishing it
so it's my task to tell people to read the original novel
but at least he's releasing 1-2 Real chapters a year so he's still doing smth
another unfinished manga i really like is Me and the Devil Blues
also an example for a mangaka doing a complete 180 lmao
it's about blues legend robert johnson selling his soul to the devil to make him teach the blues
and then the mangaka never finished it and wrote prison school a few years later

Gotta put chino on some otome isekai know what kinda man he is
which leads to my response to this bro, isekais for me are major buns like, it has to be a REAL GOOD ONE
sword art online barely made it for me
