man i haven't even noticed it until now but there's quite alot of love triangle romances this season is it making a comeback?? 🤔
gilded ember
yea
normal hare
I've only watched like the first episode of most shows I cant think of em
Alltime I also cant really think of shows that were strictly just love triangles
Always felt like it kinda expanded it to harems
I saw a lot more love triangles in shoujo
gilded ember
you would think its the typical 2 male 1 female triangle but its the opposite tho
gilded ember
Alltime I also cant really think of shows that were strictly just love triangles
i mean there's one sore thumb that's sticking out
boreal rover
Mayonaka spoilers given the latest chapter ||Apollo might not be the eventual winner of Arisubowl but at this point if Iko is NOT Apollo, I would be very shocked. The crescent moon is present more times when it's Iko and Arisu or Apollo and Arisu, and her Lagrange point was also near Arisu, she's the one who has the most similar career to broadcasting that Apollo used to do, she's the mixture of shy and genki that is typical harem winners of the past few years, and she's the story's mascot character, and there's the whole pronoun switching that she's using male pronouns when referring to herself but slips and uses "Watashi" like Apollo does sometimes||
||she's also the most aggressive when it comes to confessing to Arisu||
||both as Iko and as Apollo||

||ok I completed missed the lagrange point part thats actually crazy lol, also yeah I think it makes the most sense that iko was also looking for friends after being bullied hence why she turned to podcasting, very strong parallels with arisu||
This series truly has saved the harem genre
||also drunk lemon was the cutest thing ever shes just a depressed adult like us||
||someone pointed it out but the livestream has 2 viewers?? Apollo got a helper?||
boreal rover
yeah that might have been the most significant part of that chapter, ||the extra viewer||
at least ||one other girl must know who apollo is, and my bet is shinobu is the one that knows||
there are more than a couple of examples of ||somebody assisting or partaking in misleading arisu when it comes to finding out who apollo is, like the honey gift scene fairly recently||
more or less I expect the next chapter ||to be all four running into him in the street, just to confuse readers about who was panting and was out of breath over the broadcast||

So pretty much in line with real life
That's why the Yamato barely saw engagement in WW2 
rustic lynx
Philippines saw the largest naval engagement in history 
- America was basically cheating because Japan virtually had 0 aircraft carriers at that point cause they lost a lot of them at the Battle of Midway
By the end of the war, US had 99 carriers to Japan's 4

holy moly why is this show rated so high, i mean i clearly like it since im still watching it but for now im giving it a 7.5 at most
normal hare
7.89 kinda an ok rating
most "good and loved" shows are usually like 8.2
but surprised to see people liking it
though it'd be like a 7.3 ish
gilded ember
bro that's really insane to me, most of the borderline 8 ratings on like the past few seasons are like the most iconic ones
especially in the romance genre, this is already on par with the big 3 last summer
normal hare
wow you're right
dress up darling s2 at 8.18 is sacriligeous
i'm a big time glazer for the series
was just such an entertaining season with so much love poured into it i expected people to resonate w it more damn
hey i guess waifu power does that!
wait fragrant flower blooms is at 8.51
crazy what we doin 😔
gilded ember
hell yeah, putted that shit in 2x speed the last 3 eps
normal hare
ok i didn't say allat
gilded ember
wait no actually its 4x
normal hare
the parts with rintaro and his friend being awkward w each other was just pretty boring
but the buildup to the beach confession was gr8
normal hare
ok i'm actually looking through the romance section for mal
i'm convinced the community just got smth against this genre
gilded ember
hmm guess maybe im getting your point of the "im too old for these cheesy high school romance plots"
normal hare
for me it's a very fine line
very easy to mess up
i think what fragrant flower does good is just like
how pure and innocent everything is
and wholesome
it's a breath of fresh air
gilded ember
yea spamming gomenasai every 5 secs is truly refreshing
normal hare
ok that part is definitely annoying 😭
that's why i'm not as high on it as i would be
it's just like a damn this is so cute kinda series
i think the best part though is still the stuff with the mom
that had me in my feelings
gilded ember
the highs are truly high but the lows are the same also
normal hare
not sure if i'd call it a low
it's just like a really good series but there's this constant annoying thing throughout
i'm trying to think of a good example for high highs and low lows
gilded ember
ngl u might hate this cuz u know this is ur favorite
gilded ember
bunny girl
normal hare
oh
gilded ember
yeaa
normal hare
honestly the only low i can kinda think of is
the 2nd movie
s1 is pretty much guns blasting all the way
s2 is a bit weaker i can get with that
like the stuff with the idol girls was a bit
corny
but the other arcs were great
OH i know just because
just because
that series has some incredible moments but also some like hair pulling moments
gilded ember
nah man some of the supernatural arcs just didnt make sense to me
gilded ember
who was that girl on mai's sister idol group
normal hare
uzuki
i think people theorized that it wasn't really syndrome and more just her becoming too hyperaware of her surroundings
but yeah i agree in the sense that the arc was weak
story wasn't really as engaging and the whole concert scene was hella corny 💀
normal hare
i'm trying to think of a good example for high highs and low lows
oh komi san is the perfect example
i really don't like a lot of the side characters but anytime it's just komi and mc it's great
gilded ember
you know i didn't feel any of this while watching dangers in my heart maybe that's why i keep recommending it to you
normal hare
there are probably insane highs cause i be hearing so much crazy glaze
i just gotta get through those first few episodes mahn
it's like me getting past the first few eps of steins gate
gilded ember
its notthat slow wtf
normal hare
it's not the slow part per se it's just the charas are unbearable in the first few eps
but hey i know that's what makes the development good
i just gotta like swallow it up
pause
gilded ember
yep in which blue box doesn't have 🥀
normal hare
good bait! but the development is really through their sports journey
cause they're both already pretty mature for their age
gilded ember
yea lets stop talking about it now before i get immense hatred for it
normal hare
i mean i be cool with critcism if it's like valid, or it's just like not for you
like if we say they don't get technical enough with the hoops or badminton ye i agree
me personally i'm not looking for that but if u are then coo
gilded ember
be honest with me, the manga should've ended ages ago
normal hare
we had this convo before though, taiki and chintasu haven't achieved their goals yet in their respective sports
i can see why people are mad about the hina stuff but personally i think it's pretty realistic
boreal rover
holy moly why is this show rated so high, i mean i clearly like it since im stil...
honestly I think this series just had a headstart in the romance this season
and progressively the other NINE romance series got less and less attention
until love game, which honestly has the more pure vanilla nonstop romance despite being a lower budget anime this season, is getting the least attention because it started 2-3 weeks late
highest budget one this season has to be otagal
ponsuka is the most faithful to the manga artistically, though otagal is not that far behind
I think manga-based romances are better made than the light novel based ones anyway
normal hare
Otagal started around the same time iirc
boreal rover
yeah and it reasonably got the same amount of attention at least on the japanese side, a little less on the western side lol
normal hare
Ramparts also started super early
I think its just a kinda weak season for romance again personally
boreal rover
ramparts is actually frustrating to me to watch so I've put it on hold for the time being
I don't know what exactly set it off for me though
boreal rover
it just has this excessive melo drama feels that is typical of kdrama more than shoujo manga lol
normal hare
Kdrama 
boreal rover
and contrasting it with the author's other work, polar opposites, it feels very slow 😄
normal hare
The romance shows haven't been pulling me in, maybe im just very picky
Just have so many other unique shows this season to check out
Witch hat, daemons, nippon sangoku, akanebanashi
boreal rover
akane and witch hat I want to wait for season's end to watch
normal hare
Slowly catching up on Wistoria s2 it has been very good
boreal rover
I've been reading wistoria manga for a little after watching s1, will watch s2 once I catch up to the start of it in the manga
gilded ember
highest budget one this season has to be otagal
ok clearly u haven't watched drunk yuri yet
normal hare
I dont even know if the drunk yuri one is high budget
Its more like just the style of animation
boreal rover
ok clearly u haven't watched drunk yuri yet
one episode, I have not watched more, I did like the OP a lot though
anyway speaking of romance, this week's chapter of mayonaka, igarashi went all out on the art AND more, holy moly.
normal hare
Oh mayonaka today

Poor arisu dude, only thing missing in this chapter was him reciting the national anthem to stay strong
boreal rover
lol the xmas party goes on, still not too late for that hahaha
boreal rover
it's played like comedy but yeah it's actually depressing and tragic how many people around lemon's age and older in Japan are basically just going at it alone
anywhere really, but especially in countries like Japan
honestly if ||Rikka|| wins, would it really surprise anybody? She's the one with the least amount of subtlety around her actions since chapter 1 😄
I feel like that might be exactly why she won't win and is being played like red herring for the audience
normal hare
anywhere really, but especially in countries like Japan
Japanese adult + teacher is a deadly combo
boreal rover
rip
normal hare
I feel like I wouldnt really be surprised about anyone winning atp, they all have made very strong cases
boreal rover
also she seems to know a lot about drugs and marijuana, not the kind of joke you see in japanese manga often 😄
way earlier she was replacing her urine sample with energy drink too lol
normal hare
People gotta do what they gotta do to hang on...
boreal rover
hahaha
boreal rover
I feel like I wouldnt really be surprised about anyone winning atp, they all hav...
for sure, it's particularly surprising how more or less even the chances are at this point
like even 5-toubun had reached some kind of obvious conclusion this many chapters in
normal hare
I know there was the 1 other viewer thing but considering how close these girls are and how aggressive theyre getting im starting to think theyre all in on the apollo business
boreal rover
either all or at least more than one of them were in the whole apollo thing, or behind the scenes at least one other or all of them know who apollo is and have some kind of agreement that whoever wins has to win fair and square and not just because they're apollo or something along those lines
we very rarely get a glimpse of what goes on between the four of them with arisu not being present
normal hare
It's pretty cool honestly, im so used to these childhood guessing games with stuff like nisekoi and gotoubun so its really refreshing to see the mystery be an open secret amongst the girls, kinda working tgt is such a refreshing take on the trope
boreal rover
I don't know what its sales are like but this manga is easily the best harem currently serialized
especially in terms of art but also in terms of just how a harem story is written 😄
normal hare
Yamabuki is also just a refreshing harem mc
boreal rover
he definitely lost this chapter though 😄
I don't think in over a hundred chapters he has ever been this flustered
normal hare
The buildup has made it so much more satisfying, seeing a chink in his armor
Gap moe but for the harem mc what a world we live in
Romance genre kinda barren rn in terms of manga still glad this thing is going on but we need someone to step up 🙏
boreal rover
there's a lot of new generation romance but none of them have really carved out a place for themselves
the only one recently that came out of nowhere and has decent sales is haimiya-senpai but honestly while the art is terrific, the story is as slice of life generic romcom as it can get
boreal rover
the absolute definition of nothing ever happens but at least it's nice to look at lol
there's the age gap cohabitation one by horimiya artist, another age gap cohabitation one by watari-kun mangaka
(what's with all the age gap smh)
then there's this one by the mangaka of House of the Sun (which was a cohabitation age gap lol) https://mangadex.org/title/1bad66ee-4857-433e-a075-704d93672341/boku-dake-ga-shitterun-daze and it's more of a different flavour of "dangers in my heart"
there's this one which is just hilarious comedy if you somehow took audience comments and made a story around it https://mangadex.org/title/157ab2cc-1fc7-4b29-8955-72d94a140982/they-are-still-being-shaken-this-morning

there's lots of good ones
none have really made like a significant impact among general public to the point that you could look forward to an anime adaptation anytime soon though
then again Love Game got an adaptation this season, and it's probably one of the most actually romance focused throughout manga out there
normal hare
this one I think is by the same artist as Mii-chan https://mangadex.org/title/84...

https://mangadex.org/title/c679bf28-e054-4bb7-93e6-18c089ee79f1/chikasugiru-futa...
on the japanese forums of that one, they were even bringing up psychology journal papers about how if you really did grow up that closely but not as siblings, there would be basically zero attraction so it's not THAT weird that they behave like that lol, but you know how Japanese are 
it's still quite a sweet little manga despite all the weirdness hahaha
technically in some countries they ARE legally and like religiously or whatever siblings because they're milk siblings 😄
gilded ember
technically sounds like arranged marriage if u think about it
boreal rover
it does, doesn't it
but like the old school type of arranged marriage (especially among more wealthy) where they would pair kids up from childhood so they grew up together before actually marrying
not the kind where your parents just select somebody for you out of the blue and you have to go along with it
gilded ember
makes sense somewhat tho hard to find connection nowadays randomly
and the worry of stranger attributes so why not mate them with a friend of yours that you know really well and also has a kid in the opposite gender

s2 taking so long i be forgetting 86 exists
but i'll probably read it when the light novel ends
boreal rover
it's just sadly how large studios like A-1 are
massive selection of freelancers and gig contractors and all that
lots of in-house talent divided in multiple teams
and they have a huge backlog of stuff to produce still
they've promised more 86 but like ........ it's gonna take a herculean effort to get all the right people together to continue it, so it might take until 2028 or later for us to get anything out of them
look at how long it took to get the kaguya team back together for a christmas special two episodes broadcast/ova

Not the greatest, it was like jinwoo, deku and the two ddd fellas
are u insane those are way more popular shows
normal hare
Ehhhh
Apothecary diaries reach is crazy
Solo leveling maybe but ddd nah
Also I was just speaking mainly on the quality of the charas not the popularity lmao
gilded ember
but its a voting contest tho
normal hare
You just said "based in this context"
So i just interpreted it as how good those characters are
But maomao is insanely popular and likeable anw
Apothecary diaries is kinda like spy x family its just really beloved by all ages and gender
gilded ember
lmao did the weekend just announce aoty

His music was heavily inspired by anime (nujabes and samurai champloo)
Also he went viral a bit posting his updates in persona on ig

https://youtu.be/z8IW52gc-lw?si=Ox4JOBNXnSm66X-Y @boreal rover they dropped the onii sama compilation
Real content
Also another one for tatsuya saying miyuki
rustic lynx
I like when she said Onii-sama
ebon thunder
ngl this is the only thing i remember from iamhs
at first i was like "huh her voice is unique, not ur usual high pitched voice"
then found out about saori hayami
rustic lynx
Wow, Hayami Saori what a soft speaking with a gentle voice. I wonder what kind of characters she also voices
boreal rover
https://youtu.be/z8IW52gc-lw?si=Ox4JOBNXnSm66X-Y <@138844009865936897> they drop...
hahahahahahaha
not quite as funny as the amane-kun compilation from a while back, but still hilarious
miyuki's voice acting was probably the only time/role of hers that my brain somehow didn't immediately register "Hayami Saori" for some reason when I was originally going through the anime, not sure why, it's so obvious in hindsight lol
gilded ember
yo speaking of, tenshi sama has been really boring nowadays it was more fun when they were still developing 😔
normal hare
This is why anime never establishes relationships until the end of the series 
rustic lynx
Not all shows can be Clannad with peak relationship building
normal hare
Yeah cause theres no progression in life
They just end with highschool
God bless blue box had chinatsu actually graduate
rustic lynx
More romances shows should get a sequel or an OVA of life after the main show
With preferably Clannad: ||less characters dying||
normal hare
Bunny girl senpai
We need a clannad remastered
For the ppl who dont wanna watch old animation
normal hare
I've seen more good than bad tbh
boreal rover
yo speaking of, tenshi sama has been really boring nowadays it was more fun when...
there's a level of suspension of disbelief that's required for that LN/show that is beyond typical romance
two high schoolers living more or less alone, spending that much time together with that level of physical intimacy
and still acting like innocent 12yo's is just difficult to digest lol
you can absolutely do post confession romance, plenty has been done, but as bubba said, there's a reason why most of these types of stories end with confession and beginning of relationship, then timeskip and epilogue
they just can't write good realistic romance at any age while still keeping it interesting
normal hare
boreal rover
^ like with that, at least keep it interesting in conversation lol
or we had polar opposites last season (and next season)
or horimiya, or "I have a crush at work"
there's tons of proper progression romance stories whether manga or ln or anime
but they are rare in what they do and how they get it right
gilded ember
but is bunny girl realistic when supernatural shit keeps happening
normal hare
Just talking about the relationship aspect of things
Seeing all the charas just grow up
Good food
rustic lynx
but is bunny girl realistic when supernatural shit keeps happening
To be fair, Clannad After Story had some funky shit happen near the end
rustic lynx
AITA: ||If I wanted Nagisa to stay dead and instead, show how Tomoya grew up for a 2nd time and actually become a good father to Ushio?||
normal hare
That was the more realistic way but im happy for happy endings
Though to be fair her coming back came after all the repenting he did and growing
rustic lynx
I never fully understood nor get invested in the little girl and robot scenes
normal hare
The little girl was ushio
And the robot was tomoya
Throughout the series they collect these orb of lights which eventually grant a miracle for tomoya to go back
In the vn u need to play all the diff routes to collect these orbs
rustic lynx
If you think anime Clannad's visuals look dated. Oh boy, wait till you see the VN
normal hare
Prime i think its time, I've put it off for awhile but I'm out of town with some free time

LOL the ending to the first ep was pretty banger
Mask gimmick didn't even last an episode
rustic lynx
It only goes up from there
normal hare
Its like im watching clannad again, highschooler doing their best with a depressed dad who lost his wife
rustic lynx
Ushio if Ushio was into girl bands
MyGo is my fav, but man Ave Mujica's anime is just so much better
normal hare
Yeah this 1 episode has already like
rustic lynx
Has better drama too
normal hare
Made an impact on me way more
rustic lynx
The drama in MyGo is literally just Soyo crashing out
normal hare
Also the way they revealed each of the members? God damn avengers ass lineup they were getting rolled out like the fatui
sterile bluff
i am surprised Umamusume the BNW Side Story specials took place during Season 1

long time no hearing this ed since months ago

Ave mujica ep 2 damn man mutsumi is literally just the punching bag of this series, she cant do anything right poor girl
Also this sort of musical thing they got going for their performances go so damn hard

Even her alter version cant stop messing things up
Low-key uika so far pretty much feels like a copy paste of soyo
People pleaser and obsessed with saki

Speaking of her she just got freaked the hell out by mortis
rustic lynx
I mean, did you see Mortis
That shit straight out of a horror movie
Show is about cute girls doing cute band things btw

Wdym bro she was just calling the doctor to wake mutsumi up

When Nyamu is the mentally sane one of the group 💀
normal hare
Nyamu is very sane shes just dedicated to her craft and making her family proud honestly
I respect the grind
Everyone else
Insane
Actually saki isnt even insane she just doesn't know what she wants
On one hand shes trying to make the band stuff work and save her dad, but she still wants the "power of friendship we have to feel like a proper band!"
Thats why nyamu's crashout was so valid girlie is wasting everyone's time
Meanwhile uika is obsessed with saki for whatever reason I dont know and umiri is actually afk in the background
rustic lynx
I'd say in addition to this, Nyamu has ||narcissism and is self-centered||
normal hare
I dont even think its that bad, shes super locked in on herself cause she wants to make her family proud
Like when she sees mutsumi just completely outshine her she takes the loss on the chin
Very respectable
I didn't really like her initially but with more episodes she grows on me
rustic lynx
When your main is MyGo but you can't disagree that Ave Mujica anime beats the MyGo anime
normal hare
Im not even joking I think u could just watch the scenes with ave mujica members in mygo and be good
Even after the whole first season mygo doesn't even feel like a group
rustic lynx
I mean, their band name MyGo (Maigo) translates to Lost Girls
So basically, they're a bunch of "Lost Girls" being lost together
normal hare
Soyo is still obsessed with saki, tomori is in her own world whime taki is obsessed with her, anon is normal
normal hare
So basically, they're a bunch of "Lost Girls" being lost together
Yeah i just kinda expected the group to find their way and identity
Didn't realize taki was setsuna
rustic lynx
Voiced by super idol Hayashi Coco
Can play drums, can dance, can sing, can voice act, can act, can model, can draw.
I wouldn't be surprised if she can rap too
normal hare
Its nijigaku I wouldnt be surprised
normal hare
rustic lynx
Is she the LeBron James of school idols?
normal hare
Shes hella popular
Only complaint so far is that umiri is kinda just there...basically and uika's whole personality is just being obsessed with saki, but the rest i fw heaaaavy
Show been great
rustic lynx
They drop a bombshell near the end
Which ties up the rumors that connects Ave Mujica and Bandori's next anime Yumemita together
normal hare
Figured cause idk how they wrap this up in 6 eps lol

honestly I can see it
these reddit embeds piss me off
but staff member who worked on nier said Bleach and HxH are more aimed towards women

honestly I can see it
Mainly bc of the male character designs
normal hare
true hxh has too much reading for men
the amount of dudes who just pass out from watching the hunter exams
runic finch
Mainly bc of the male character designs
But Kubo is just goated at character designs for either
Togashi got some bangers too
Especially compared to the other big shonen this makes a lot of sense tho

mainly mean the games themselves bc they get quite confusing and are explained in crazy detail
i'm still baffled at how this was released weekly
man this makes me really wanna go back and read it again lol
been like 4 years
ok 3
but this was how far i read
basically exactly half of it
storm wasp
tend to be a slower reader/watcher of basically anything so 540 chapters almost turned me away
runic finch
for me it really depends how much i'm into it
there's times i can't think of anything else before i've finished it
and then there's times where i take forever to finish it
storm wasp
yea if i’m really into it then i can crank out like 50 chapters in a day
that’s prob not even a lot for avid readers
runic finch
I think the most I've done was my first vagabond reread in 2 days
And I also read basically all of Oyasumi Punpun in one day
Can't recommend
normal hare
yeah icl something that long i just can't nowadays, i have to read it in parts at the very least
i was into a webnovel that's like 2000 chapters long that i'm super into, i had to stop halfway, that was like
1 year ago now
runic finch
Back then was easy bc I was on school holiday and just didn't do anything else that day 
runic finch
that’s prob not even a lot for avid readers
I mean there's always extreme examples of people reading big books in one day
No need to compare yourself
Also always depends on the content and how easy it is to process

wait wait wait did that girl just inhale 4 cigs and inject drugs into her body
there's 4 girls and multiple other recurring characters iirc
one's the tobacco addict
||another's a drunkard||
||there's a narcotics addict||
||and I think there's a sex addict too||
also technically it's not promoting those, it's meant to be anti those things
but there's definitely too many smoking anime in the next six months. And there's that college yuri one that promotes smoking and drinking as cool right now.
rustic lynx
First we normalized gambling to children with gacha games, now we're making smoking, drinking, and drug use as cool through anime
